Beta 2.3.0 Update / Provisional Steam Frame Support

Thank you for using VRHandsFrame!

Changes planned for the next update (2.3.0) are now available early in the beta branch. This beta focuses on provisional support for Steam Frame. Please try it out before the official release and let us know what you think, including any bugs you find.

Provisional Steam Frame Support

• Running natively on Steam Frame VRHandsFrame can now run standalone on Steam Frame. When running standalone, SteamVR needs to be restarted the first time you launch the app.

• Frame controllers You can assign a shortcut to each of the Frame controller buttons (A / B / X / Y, Menu, View).

About launching the app

I updated the program that manages launching VRHandsFrame (VRHandsFrameProcessManager.exe). On PCs with Windows security features or antivirus software enabled, VRHandsFrame may be blocked from starting. If it is blocked, please allow VRHandsFrameProcessManager.exe to run.

Additions and Changes

• New languages Added 4 languages for the system language and translation: Vietnamese / Malay / Spanish (Latin America) / Portuguese (Portugal).

• Send diagnostic logs (bottom of the settings sidebar) You can manually send logs to the developer to help investigate problems. The logs include your Steam ID, PC system information, and app activity. You confirm before sending.

• Device-dependent settings, such as the image save path, System settings, and panel colors, are no longer synced through Steam Cloud (marked with an icon on the settings screen)

• Updated the tutorial

• Made other minor changes to what is displayed and how things work

Bug Fixes

• Fixed VRHandsFrame overlays becoming invisible due to interference with other overlay apps This issue is caused by a change in SteamVR 2.17 and later. It may come back depending on future fixes on the SteamVR side.

• Fixed repeat capture not working properly

• Made thumb-rest taps less likely to be misrecognized

• Fixed other minor issues
