SteamVR:

• Fixed a bug in the input binding UI that would prevent users from toggling to a custom binding if the application did not have default bindings.
  
• The input binding UI’s ‘Show Bindings on Controller’ button no longer appears if no binding is loaded.
  
• Match overlay control bar width to width of Desktop/Window Views when docked on the dashboard.
  

OpenXR:

• Prioritize use of Oculus Touch-style bindings if no bindings were provided for the active controller and khr_simple_controller bindings were provided.
  
• Set the universeid of currently tracked lighthouse devices on a per device basis - this helps ensure that the active hmd's universeid is used in a multi-tracking system config (i.e. setting "activateMultipleDrivers": true in vrsettings).
  
• Enable “Handheld” role for trackers. Assigning either “Left Hand”, “Right Hand” or “Any Hand” in the SteamVR > Devices > Manage Trackers will map to this “Handheld” role in OpenXR.
  
• Fix for issue with trackers not using subaction paths for actionspaces.

SteamVR:

• Fix for third party dashboard applications, and other applications that monitor scene application changed events.
  
• Fix for WinRT display crash on initialization.
  

OpenXR:

• Ensure OpenXR apps respond to the "Pause VR when headset is idle" setting (SteamVR Settings > Video). Disabling this setting will allow OpenXR apps to continue rendering and receive input even if the HMD is not worn or is Idle.

If you are experiencing a serious issue with the 1.21 release that was not present in the 1.20 release, you can help us by submitting a system report that shows both circumstances. To do this:

1. Do whatever is necessary to hit your bug with version 1.21.
   
2. Switch to version 1.20 and do all the same things you did in step 1 (which shouldn't hit a bug this time).
   
3. Close your game and create a system report.
   
4. Upload the system report to your file host of choice, create a new post on our SteamVR Bug Report forum, and include the link to your system report.
   

Our guidelines for how to report a bug are available here. If you prefer not to post your system report publicly, you can submit a support ticket through our normal facilities and attach the system report to that ticket, then just mention in your post on the SteamVR Bug Report forum that you submitted a ticket and we can find it in the back end.

You can switch between versions by right clicking on 'SteamVR' in your Steam library, then Properties > BETAS > and selecting the version "v1.20.4public". You can create a system report by pressing the system button on the SteamVR window on your desktop (this button looks like three lines, or a 'hamburger'), clicking 'Create a system report', and then saving it to a file.

The 1.20.4 release will only be available for a limited time.
