• Steam Frame Plans - 25 September 2026

  Steam Frame Information Just some information on Steam Frame and OVRAS's Does OVRAS support the Steam Frame? On Standalone Currently No Via Streaming Yes, though some unique bugs exist OVRAS does already have default bindings for Steam Frame they were shipped with 5.8.13 Will OVRAS support standalone? The short answer is not currently, and no definitive plans, If it happens it will be after 6.0.0 release. Steam Frame Specific Bugs There are a few bugs that are specific to the Steam Frame, most of these are on Valve's end, and hopefully will be fixed, However I would encourage you to post in the SteamVR discussions/bug reports SteamVR Forums Bindings Not Showing They Technically do, just after you click on bindings in dashboard click on the steam button in dashboard (the streaming one with green pc icon) and the page should already be pulled up. On Recenter, my height is wrong. I can fix…

• 5.8.17 - 9 September 2026

  Behavior Changes Keyboard Switched from buffered keyboard to individual character input Text Fields are Now applied on the following conditions: Hide Keyboard (may take 1-2 seconds) Hide Dashboard (instantly) Enter key pressed on keyboard (instantly) click somewhere besides text field (may take 1-2 seconds) Previous data is not automatically removed, you will have to delete it every time you adjust. This change was made because the buffered keyboard has been effectively deprecated, steam itself uses non-buffered version. Based On feedback some behaviors may change slightly. Desktop Mode Bindings Hitting the bindings button in desktop mode no longer opens the browser, instead opening a window managed by steam. Was informed browser method was not "officially supported", and it did have issues in more recent updates. Fixes Fix Space Drag OpenXR movement issues, full x,y,z motion + same per…

• 5.8.13 - 27 August 2026

  Changes -space drag movement expectations with regards to re-centers The new movement expectation is on re-center you should lose your verticality, your play area will be oriented towards current HMD direction, and new "center" set at new location. This should be consistent across all hmd's - Added default bindings for new controllers - Added additional logging Fixes - space fix will now no longer be greyed out and work in most environments - space drag Movement is partially restored in OpenXR based titles. Specifically Vertical Movement - rotation adjust will work again across everything - Adjusted initialization behavior or autosaved chaperone, should fix various cases of temporary rotation and chaperone movement. Known Issues - space drag performance is very poor in openXR games, further adjustment may be needed. - OpenXR drag rotation offset sometimes you may have an initial rotatio…

• Beta Update - 11 August 2026

  Just a Quick Update: With the soon to be released Frame, There have been a lot of things changing in SteamVR, and as such certain features are effected. Beta is updated to reflect some of these changes, and fix issues. Based on feedback or future changes Valve may make on their end some of these changes may get rolled back or altered further. I know it can be frustrating when things break suddenly, unfortunately more often than not these changes can make it out into SteamVR beta/public, without me having really any idea it's effected until I notice it or reports come in. If you have an issue that pops up please post something, It can help immensely in finding things out. The best way to report issues is in the discord. So what's changed in Beta: Space Fix tab will now work regardless of environment Space Drag Movement is partially restored in OpenXR titles, specifically vertical movemen…

• 5.8.11 - 29 March 2024

  Fixes - Fixed an issue where space drag would not properly initialize if a user's base stations were asleep - Fixed an issue preventing third party apps to adjust chaperone properly note: this is the default behavior, but changes will only properly apply when there are no current offsets with space drag. - Changed the space fix tab features to be based off of space drag logic Known Issues With Mixed Set-ups - IF you use OVR space calibrator, then we have an incompatibility with the Paste chaperone bounds automatically when geometry resets setting.

• OVR Advanced Settings changing to be paid - 26 March 2024

  I Bring a bit of bitter-sweet news but the short version is below. on or about 4/15/24 (april 15th 2024) OVR Advanced Settings will no longer be free it will cost $7.99 (and adjusted regionally). - If you already use/own OVRAS on Steam, you will not need to purchase it. - You have until 4/14/24 to add/download it for free, at which point it will be paid. - It will cost $7.99 Why? It has been my pleasure over the last several years to continue to support and develop for OVRAS for over 750,000 users, I want to continue to do so, and in fact continually want to create a better User experience for all users and VR as a whole. Simply put development is not currently on a sustainable path, and hopefully with this change more time and effort can be put into making up for several shortfalls. What's Going to Change? Ultimately this change is designed to help alleviate several issues, including b…

  5.8.3 Features - Battery Tracker overlay control - ability in utility tab to now disable the overlay for batteries on trackers if you don't want it. - Desktop Mode Improvements - Steam launch option on steam there should be an option to launch into desktop mode (this is just the launch parameter) --desktop-mode - Always launch as Desktop Mode in settings tab you will now have a checkbox to always launch as desktop mode, if the screen is blank I would recommend this as an option as it is fully functional now, just will not be in the SteamVR dashboard. - Bindings Tab on Desktop this will now open your default browser to the SteamVR binding interface, it varies slightly from overlay version as you will have to navigate to OVRAS instead of being dropped directly on the screen. - Added F13-F19 as Keyboard Options via "G3-G9" - No HMD Toggle in SteamVR tab added toggle to change steamvr setti…

• 5.7.4 errors launching - 14 October 2023

  I am aware of issues with the 5.7.4 branch for a small subset of users. 5.7.3 is temporarily available as a beta branch for users who need to roll back. Furthermore their is a beta branch delaytest that is specifically for trying some fixes for the issue. If you have the issue I need testing on delaytest branch, and can share that in steam's forums as a topic or on the discord.

• 5.7.4 - 9 October 2023

• 5.7.2 and Chaperone Movement Issues with BETA SteamVR build - 12 June 2023

  With the SteamVR Beta Update You may experience you Chaperone Not Moving with space Drag Movement. In order to Fix this: Option A: Use version 5.7.1 (live build) and the live build of SteamVR. Option B: Use version 5.7.2 (beta build) and the BETA build of SteamVR. Please Be Safe and use the appropriate version, This should no longer be necessary when the current build of SteamVR becomes the live version.

• 5.7.1 - 18 May 2023

  Fix the error with the pop-up "OpenVR version is too outdated"

• 5.7.0 - 17 May 2023

  5.7.0 Patch Notes Features - Chaperone Auto Fade Out Height based - When head ducks below configurable height for >5 seconds chaperone will fade out, allows dynamically disabling chaperone if you say sit down in your play area - note This currently doesn't really respect space drag, so will only properly work while you are not drug away from origin - note This will disable chaperone and fade distance chaperone features while this is enabled (and are as such disabledin the UI ) - Volume Slider in setting tab - note currently does not affect alarm volume Bug Fixes - HMD not found error (and other steamvr init errors) - if we detect a steamvr error on bootup now we will log and otherwise ignore the errors. It appears as though steamvr may throw the errors incorrectly during startup or there is a race condition internal to steamvr in some setups.

• 5.5.0 Update - 12 April 2022

  New Features Device Pairing You Are Now Able To Pair SteamVR Devices With OVRAS. SteamVR Tab -> Device Pairing Information In General, with an empty dongle, make your device enter pairing mode (blue-flashing light), and hit pair in app. The Dongle Must not have another device currently attached to it and powered. Why? Unlike Steam's Native interface ours allows you to bind to specific dongles. Additionally for users that use additional devices besides the controllers it is a very common for your controllers to get bound to dongles that are not the Headsets, in this configuration you can have tracking issues, and strongly suggest you bind your controllers to the HMD. Space Drag Multiplier Multiplier in Space Drag to allow you to multiply your real world movement i.e. drag 1m translates to 2m in game with a 2x multiplier Auto-Apply Chaperone Option in Settings you can now have a chaperone…
