The problem started happening today, and it has been found and fixed. The beta branches were not affected.

We're sorry for the inconveniences!

Update to the Joycon branch: Phone connection code was bogus and has been fixed.

As the title says, we found a solution for the Vive camera issue. If it still doesn't work for you, follow these steps:

• Close SteamVR if you have it open.
  
• Reinstall Natural Locomotion.
  
• Open Natural Locomotion without opening SteamVR first.

Also preliminary support for Pimax headsets have been added. We don't know if it works in all circumstances because we're awaiting for feedback from testers. We know that arm swing with a head-oriented game configuration works well. (edit 10 hours later: controller oriented games and feet trackers are probably fixed now, let us know if they work)

As always, send us any question, suggestion or feedback comments to the community forum.

Full list of changes:

• Fixed Vive camera.
  
• Added preliminary support for Pimax headsets.
  
• Fixed pressing buttons twice when using Oculus Rift desktop in touch screen mode.
  
• Fixed Arizona Sunshine speed and sprint.
  
• Fixed detection of WMR hands.
  
• Fixed driver installer when the variable LUA_PATH is present in the environment.

We have almost finished Joycon support as feet trackers, as well as using a smartphone to improve orientation and other related features. Thank you for your patience.

Just before release we cleaned up the code and fixed a bug, but PS3 Move support depended on this bug to work correctly so it was effectively broken, stopping randomly and deviating too easily. The beta branch has been updated with this problem fixed. Read the instuctions to learn how to use PS Move controllers (miniUSB version) with NaLo, and tell us your experience!

Note: hot fixes are being released after this announcement. Look at the end to see the list.

You can finally walk with your feet! We were planning this update since NaLo was released back in April. Note that the feature is still experimental so please report your experience in the forum to help us improve NaLo.

Also we have improved and fixed a lot of things, and added many new profiles, listed below, including games where arm swinging didn't make sense (like shooters).

There are a few games that mostly worked but couldn't make the list for various reasons. We'll try to add them in a few days! Also, remember all profiles published so far are not supported by the original game developers, only by us, so they may break or not work as expected after an update (in that case send us a message so we can fix it).

Walk in place is still in development despite of a couple of setbacks last month. We'll try hard to have WIP in beta soon.

As always, report any issues, suggestions or requests in the community forum.

Thank you for your patience and your support!

In some cases the driver was installed "twice" and SteamVR gets confused and crashes. If it happens to you, just run NaLo once before SteamVR and it will fix the problem.

A frequently requested feature is being able to use the trackpad/joystick in controller orientation mode, while retaining the advantages of HMD orientation of NaLo (for sprinting and avoiding zig zagging). The main reason it was needed was to ride horses in Skyrim. We just added that, but also made it obsolete! We also added a horse mode in the beta branch that makes horse riding more immersive! You can even shoot arrows around while the horse continues in the same direction! Watch it here in action

Please try the beta branch and tell us what you think!

List of changes:

• Fixed SteamVR beta support.
  
• Added trackpad/joystick orientation remapping.
  
• Updated FO4VR profile with menu hold flashlight and click passthrough grips.
  
• Fixed profile instructions not changing after restoring a profile.
  
• Added horse mode (in beta only for now).
  
• Miscellaneous stability fixes with the SteamVR driver.
  
• Improved error messages.
  
• Sprinting in Rec Room (Rec Royale) seems to be working now with our previous release's profile. We were going to add a workaround but it's no longer necessary.

If you missed it, we made another release a couple of days ago with new profiles and many smaller changes.

As always, report any issues, suggestions or requests in the community forum.

We wanted to release so many exciting features this month! Unfortunately we only had time to fix minor things, as well as trying to fix compatibility with SteamVR beta, which has become our first priority.

List of changes:

• Sprinting will no longer get stuck when you just slow down (except in Skyrim, it's limited by the game).
  
• Added profile for COMPOUND (was added before in beta).
  
• Added profile for Dreadhalls.
  
• Added profile for A-Tech Cybernetic (Vive and WMR only for now).
  
• Updated The Forest for the latest version.
  
• Updated Rec Room profile with new speed and curve values.
  
• Modified FO4VR profile for Vive and WMR to put flashlight on left menu button.
  
• Modified Skyrim VR for Vive to allow back with left grip.
  
• Fixed Oculus Rift profiles for The Talos Principle and Serious Sam 3.
  
• Added feature to compensate for "tilt changes speed" behaviour in some games.
  
• Added help button with links to the forum and Youtube.
  
• Added note for SKSE users.
  
• Added sprint mode "exceed active zone", currently not used in any game.
  
• Disabled "Run game" button when the game doesn't have a valid command.
  
• Have the profile selected after clicking "Stop locomotion".
  
• Slightly changed game launch mode to improve compatibility.
  
• Made updated profile warning more visible.
  
• Fixed text selection.

There's still many things to do and several features to add. Once compatibility with SteamVR beta is fixed, we'll be doing walk in place, overlay, horse mode and more. Stay tuned!

List of changes:

• Profiles for The Forest VR beta hotfix 2.
  
• Profiles for Vivecraft 1.12.x (not tested with previous versions). It doesn't run automatically yet.
  
• Profile for In Death (for Vive and WMR).
  
• Profile for Arizona Sunshine for WMR (already available for others).
  
• Improvements to Fallout 4 VR on Rift after the beta went stable.
  
• Improved Dead Effect 2 profiles by adding smoothing compensation.
  
• Fixed Dead Effect 2 issues with VIve.
  
• Added joystick walk, jump with a specific trackpad click direction, smoothing compensation, among other details for The Forest.
  
• Enlarged sliders of "describe original locomotion".
  
• If SteamVR was expecting an app, it will wait 60 seconds since startup before opening a game (workaround, this will be properly fixed).
  
• Many internal changes in preparation to add walk in place.

We're working hard to bring Walk In Place and more movement alternatives to Natural Locomotion, and many more features and profiles. If you want to help speed up development, please tell your friends about Natural Locomotion!

Shout-out to /r/Vive for their support!

As always, report any issues, suggestions or requests in the community forum.

A couple of days ago Skyrim VR beta was promoted as the regular version for everybody. We deprecated the beta profile and changed the regular one to be as the beta. As a reminder, the only change is the original orientation: It explains to use HMD mode, which works better for sprinting. Don't forget to configure your game to be HMD oriented!

As usual, head to the community forum if you have any problem or suggestion.

We're still working on new features. We'll publish each one in the beta thread as soon as possible. Subscribe to that thread for updates.
