SteamVR:

• Fixed issue that was sending the UI from certain games, notably Assetto Corsa Competizione, into space. This made it difficult to use the UI from the ground.
  

SteamVR Input:

• Fixed issue that prevented ‘axis 2’ from being used as a trigger in legacy games on Index Controllers. When combined with new bindings this fixes The Forest, and possibly other games.
