[BUG] Enabling Physics breaks either Verse or Device Interactions. (Non responsive)

Summary

We recently started a project with Physics enabled. When testing the project, we encountered many issues with the project where both button devices and switch devices were non responsive to player interaction. After many headaches and troubleshooting, we tried disabling Physics in the project settings. Doing so immediately resolved the non responsive interaction issues.

Hi Esmee,

This reminds me of a recent issue I was trying to help troubleshoot.

One strange aspect of it was that the buttons were only working when activated from a certain angle.

I wonder if ā€œMake buttons a child of an object that is animatingā€ is required to reproduce…
