Vive Tracker randomlyhas incorrect orientation...

I am using the Vive Trackers without the headset, which I suspect might have something to do with it.

I have the full Vive HTC Eye Pro including the headset and have the same issue with the tracker puck which i bough separately (handheld controllers which come as standard with Eye Pro don’t exhibit the problem).

Tweaking SteamVR > settings > controllers > manage Vive trackers > tracker role has no effect.

Here was my solution… First run the Room Setup in SteamVR and make sure the Vive Trackers are on a flat, level surface. Set up a Camera Tracker Blueprint as indicated in the Richard Franzen tutorial that you referenced. Set up the Virtual camera as a separate Actor in your scene, and then attach the Virtual Camera to the Camera Tracker in your World Outliner. This way, it’s not tied to the tracker’s local orientation (other methods have you add a cine camera within the tracker blueprint which i avoided) . Then, in the World Outliner, change the Camera rotation to x = 0, y = 90, z = 180. this worked for my set up.

That works, but it’s exactly the fact that the camera points in different directions in and out of PIE is what makes this thing super annoying!!

Is it even possible to do it with the camera inside the Camera Tracker Blueprint? I don’t think composure works if you do that, does it?
