I didn't have a single issue with HTC vive until the 3.0 update. Now both of my controllers randomly start vibrating heavily and sometimes when gripping or pulling the trigger it stops

Just throwing in my 2 cents, I had this issue way back when I played Vive, I think it may be related to Vive+Unity. Some games just caused the controller to vibrate constantly, like the rumble was getting stuck on. Happened in Beat Saber, VR Chat, Cosmic Trip, others.

@warped moat does it go away if you restart the game/SteamVR?

Yeah I don't doubt it, I'm just pointing out a place to start looking

restart - rolled back to the old version. nothing helped. I had to temporarily turn off vibration for this game

Alright, definitely an issue with the current build then, I think the public_beta is the same as current so that's out

#

the strangest thing. that I played calmly before update 3.0

is it possible to roll back the game?

trail gulch
#

'stableprevious' should be the build just before

#

but that didn't work?

warped moat
#

I'll check it now. before that I tried to roll back steam vr

trail gulch
#

sad 😦

warped moat
#

thank god it's not because of steam vr

#

some updates make you suffer

trail gulch
#

one last thing, could you use the bug report button in-game? That way it sends diagnostic data to the developers

#

hopefully the bot is working

#

just make sure that logging is enabled under Video settings, near the bottom

#

ok just a second. I need to find this

#

the bug report button should be on the desktop window, looks like a bug

trail gulch
#

thanks, sorry about the issues

warped moat
#

I'll be happy if this helps

trail gulch
#

I've definitely seen this happen before in other games, I'm sure there's a fix

#

wait did stableprevious branch also have the bug?

#

hmm, if the previous branch had the bug that's troubling... if its a new change then something easier to find t.t

#

not trying to pass the blame here, but I think this might be either a hardware issue or something specific to how haptics are handled with Vive wands in unity

#

the vibration event triggers but it doesn't stop every time, causing it to rumble constantly

#

in some games opening a menu stops it, others you have to shut off and turn on the controller

#

this is what started happening to one of my wands shortly before it stopped working altogether
