Hydra not detected

[arronhuk]

My hydra isn't being loaded as a motion controller in steam even though the lighthouse is finding it.

It was working as a mouse in the tutorial demo so maybe I need to set something up differently in the razer software?

Try to disable or uninstall any razer / sixense software. You don't need to install anything other than this driver for steamvr to work.

Hi, Thanks for the quick response, I have uninstalled the razer drivers, rebooted, removed the steam hydra drivers and then reinstalled the steam hydra driversd ands I'm still not getting the controllers recognised. vrserver.txt

Ok, so the problem is the install script couldn't detect your steamvr installation, because it isn't under the default c:\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps folder. To solve this you can: a) move hydra folder from where you installed the driver to the steamvr\drivers folder b) open a command prompt and run D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SteamVR\bin\win32\vrpathreg.exe adddriver , eg. vrpathreg.exe adddriver "C:\Program Files\SteamVR Hydra driver\hydra"

does the install script detect if the install directory is titled OpenVR instead of SteamVR?

[betavr]

Nope, I've yet to find a way to auto detect steamvr's path from the registry. Currently it is hard coded in the post install script: %SteamPath%\steamapps\common\SteamVR\

thanks for the help in the end I used the command D:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\SteamVR\bin\win64\vrpathreg.exe adddriver "C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamVR Hydra driver\hydra" to get it working and had a quick go of the lab until it crashed. although this is a steamVR issue on my machine and probably just needs a re-install.

Thanks for your help and the work you have put in on getting this working

No problem, I'm glad you worked it out. The installer script definitely needs some improvement..
