Because support is missing from SteamVR, existing games, or both.
Comment on PlayStation VR2 players can access games on PC with adapter starting on August 7
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 weeks agoAdaptive triggers make sense because not many games use it even on PS5 and it’s a very specific function that isn’t replicated by any other hardware; but why doesn’t eye tracking or HDR work? That shit should be pretty universal to all displays and cameras.

Someone told me adaptive triggers work in some games on PS5 controllers, I don’t know why the VR controllers couldn’t do the same. Maybe I just heard wrong

They do work in a couple of PC games. IIRC, Returnal and R&C: A Rift Apart have working adaptive triggers on PC. But you also have to have the controller plugged in with the cable; it doesn’t work via BT.

Cyberpunk 2077 worked for me in a similar fashion, even on Linux funnily enough.

I was excited when I saw full DualSense support, including adaptive triggers, in the patch notes, but then disappointed when it didn’t work wirelessly. I don’t understand why it doesn’t work over BT on PC; it does on the actual PS5 🤷🏻♂️

Because their eye tracking and HDR software are made with proprietary licenses they don’t want to pay to port over from PS5’s flavor of BSD to whatever OS you run on PC.

But why would I have to use their software? There’s no other options for the triggers that I am aware of, but there’s tons of software for HDR and face tracking.

They probably don’t see any value paying for something they won’t ever use and won’t be able to recoup the costs of.

I’m just wondering if the internal camera would at least be picked up as a generic camera so you could use any of the things that let you get face tracking just from a camera feed (as I do now), or if they literally have no translation drivers for it to even be detected on Windows or Linux as hardware.
