openvr After testing SteamVR 2.x with production app branch, and reverting back to 1.x controller binding is broken

The machine we did the test upgrade on now displays:

The other test machine we're testing the same code on, when we click on controller binding, doesn't bring up the binding interface at all.

I can add that this is a pretty serious bug, any customer trying our beta will not be able to move back to stable

Thanks, this has been driving me crazy for the past day. is there a manual workaround i can use for now? I was getting ready for a new major release when I tried to upgrade this, and it has my release blocked now. Thanks

For now the workaround is unfortunately a bit complicated:

Find the steamvr.vrsettings file in your steam config folder. Generally in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config\steamvr.vrsettings

Remove the entry for your application. Example:

   "steam.app.520010" : {
      "ActionManifestURL" : "file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Climbey/actions.json"
   },

FYI: JSON is a little finicky. If your application was the last entry in the list remove the comma at the end of the previous entry so it doesn't throw an error when loading.

@keithbradner thank you, that resolved it on this side. should I close this issue since it looks like a duplicate of 242?
