Known issues

Thank you for trying out the app! As a solo developer with limited hardware, I am actively working to improve stability. Please be aware of the following known issues:

• Random Teleportation: Some users may experience random teleportation instead of dragging. This issue is addressed in update on 2026 08 19; however more user feedback is needed to fully confirm the fix.
• Headset & Controller Compatibility: Tested and fully supported on Oculus and Pico. Other headsets—especially Valve Index controllers—and connection methods like Steam Link may not function as intended yet. Record binding feature is implemented to support broader range of controllers. Further solutions are under exploration.
• Window Interface: The app currently launches with a redundant main window. It may be streamlined into a simple system tray icon in a future update. Or, depending on feedback, it may be left as a minimized window on task bar to allow closing the application easily.
• Tracking Loss: If your headset loses tracking, space manipulation may glitch or cause random movements. This issue is partially addressed in update on 2026 08 19; however perfect recovery of rotation and position is still difficult to achieve due to the nature of tracking loss.

Support server link can be found under "Guides" to report a bug and share any clues.

Playtest version will generate debug reports to share more detailed clues, bringing the generated log to the developer will greatly help debugging.

Apologies for the issues and many thanks for supports from everyone.
