If you have weird cameras on your hands, try launching the game from your desktop instead of in-VR, there's a weird issue that happens sometimes if you open the overlay while the game is loading, if you start if off your desktop it's guaranteed not to happen generally.

Lemme know if that changes anything, I don't have a linux setup to test any of this so I'm not sure if it even works at all.

I see my hands (well, the 3d models of hands the game shows), but no matter what button I press, I can't do anything to get to any of the walls, I stay stuck in the middle of the room. Launching from the desktop Steam interface doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is there some log, diagnostics report or whatever I can copy/paste to you that would help?

Not sure, if it shows the hands moving at all it should be picking up input just fine though, but if it isn't it seems like a SteamVR controller binding issue which would be out of my hands.

Climbey doesn't officially support Linux, so anything you try on there is in your hands.

You're probably making use of Steam play, I have zero clue how far along the SteamVR implementation of that is.

Control-wise, this is the first Windows game I've had any issues; I've tried several.

Climbey is one of the first couple of games to use the new SteamVR input system, so I really think this might just be the new input system not being finished and/or tested on Linux by Valve.

Is there a way to tell it to use the legacy system?

Nope, new input system isn't cross compatible with the old one. Gonna have to wait it out or switch to windows in a VM or something.

Do you know of any free game or app that uses the new system I could install to confirm whether the issue is with the new input system?
