This update mostly looked at improving the Rotation Cancel and Stop Detection features - which makes the new 'Always On' activation more viable.

'Always On' seems to work well with more explorative games (e.g No Mans Sky). If the App thinks you have stopped it applies more aggressive rotation cancelling compared to previous builds. To start moving again make sure the HMD is not rotating and start stepping again. A slider is included to set the sensitivity.

Rotation Cancel is also on by default for all activation modes (stick touch/click etc). In some cases - e.g when moving very slowly - the app might think you have stopped when you have not. To start moving again disengage/reengage - e.g untouch/retouch the stick, or as described above stop HMD rotations and keep moving

Also added a Jump feature in the advanced tab and the ability to set player height which helps the app figure out what the user is doing

As ever, if after updating you have any issues please do a full uninstall/reinstall. If you are still having difficulties you can revert to the previous version via the 'previous_branch' in the Steam Betas tab

Summary:

• Stop Detection improved
  
• 'Always On' activation added
  
• Updated Rotation Cancel
  
• Jump
  
• Height Setter
