Description

The Axis input values for SteamVR motion controllers will increase exponentially by 2 from the moment the editor starts and every time the user enters VR Mode or does a Launch On (eg. Entering VR Mode one will increase the input axis value -4 to 4, -6 to 6 etc.)

This does not occur with the Oculus Rift S

 

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Setup SteamVR Device
  2. Create a New Virtual Reality Template
  3. Open the Entry level Level blueprint
  4. Create a print string to print the motion controller Thumbstick X-axis to screen
    1. Add an Event Tick node
    2. Pull off of Event Tick and create a Print String node
    3. Pull off from "In Sting" in the Print String node, disable context sensitive and Search for MotionControllerThumbRight_X then select the Input Axis Value.
  5. Enter VR Preview
  6. With the right motion controller
    1. If using the Index move the joystick left to right
    2. If using the Vive wands slide your thumb across the track pad from left to right

Results: The values between the two axes will be -2 to 2 (Left to Right respectively).

Expected: The values between the two axes will be -1 to 1 (Left to Right respectively).
