Avatar hands switch to default position whilst controllers are idle
tracked
Different Name
Description:
While controllers are idle, the user's avatar's hands will go to a default position, as if controllers were not connected.
This can be triggered in one of two ways:
System Menu:
- Open the system menu (Oculus or Pico button)
- Wait a few seconds
- The avatars hands will switch position, away from where Steam VR says the controllers are
This itself does not effect gameplay, however the following does
Controllers Going Idle: (Tested only on Pico 4)
- Place controllers down and keep your head relatively still
- Pico 4 controllers will stop tracking their position after approx 15 - 30 seconds of little movement
- The avatars hands will switch position, away from the controllers
This has a large impact on the game play experience, as if you are sitting with the controllers in your lap, or not moving much (like when watching a movie), the avatars hands will switch positions after a short period, once this occurs they can switch back and forth between the default pose for the avatar and the position they should be in.
Expected Behavior:
The hands of the avatar should always be where Steam VR is reporting the controllers to be, this was the case before Build 1304.

If you're seeing this issue on Virtual Desktop and not other connection methods, you might be able to help by upvoting: https://virtual-desktop.canny.io/feature-requests/p/fix-vd-reporting-controllers-as-sleep-inactive-to-steamvr-when-not-moving
Clearly this doesn't apply to all of us here, but for me switching away from VD has solved my controllers sleeping more often than they should be.
Also as to not sidetrack this thread, I agree VRChat should still freeze your controllers instead of slapping your arms down to your sides when the controllers do actually disconnect/sleep.

I recently upgraded to the Quest 3 after using the Q2 with Pro controllers and dealing with this issue constantly.
On the Q3 using the Q3 controllers, this issue is completely non-present.
So last night I decided to pair my Pro controllers to my Q3 and IMMEDIATELY started noticing the controller position resetting way too quickly again to the point where I had to repair the Q3 controllers again in the middle of my session to stop it from happening (which it did immediately stop the moment I was no longer using Pro controllers).
I know that there are people with Index and Pico that are experiencing this issue, so I realise that it isn't specific to the Pro controllers, but I find it odd that the combination of Q3+Q3 controllers works perfectly but a LIVE switch to Q3+QPro controllers immediately replicates the issue.

Same problem on quest pro with pro controllers.

For me, this wasn't too annoying until very recently when now it seems as if I even rest my hands for even a minute they go to the default animation. I had to keep subtly wiggling my hands constantly to be able to watch a full movie without blocking a friend's view! Really annoying, pls fix.

I have HP Reverb G2 V2 WMR controllers and this plagues me too. I have noticed the controllers seem to hold their own 'origin' position. When my controllers go idle, my hands will shoot off into the distance in some direction. If I carefully grab only one of my controllers I can playspace drag myself in the direction my still idle arm is pointing. After some time, my idle arm begins to start pointing down as i get closer to the 'idle origin point'.
This is very frustrating. Very.

It's about time this gets fixed. I've had my controllers for less than 12 hours and it is already annoying enough to where i'm considering going back to my last option

Been having this issue too I initially assumed the controllers were going to sleep but testing with XSOverlay helped me realise that it could only be VRC that's having the issue.
My current set up is a Quest 3 with Quest Pro controllers playing VRC on Steam through Virtual Desktop,

Arg! Please fix!
So annoying when watching videos, or chilling with someone and you smack them in the face when you hand goes to idle position.
