The patch also preserves some elements unique to the HTC Vive such as the “chaperone” system that keeps an eye on a gamer’s surroundings and warns if they stray too close to walls or other obstacles. Sam Machkovech, a writer for the news site Ars Technica, said it had allowed him to run Lucky’s Tale via the SteamVR game-playing system used by the Vive. However, one user said, the patch may prove tricky to install for those unfamiliar with PC technology.Ī developer known as LibreVR put the patch on the Github code-sharing site for anyone to download and use. More patches for other games are expected to follow. Currently, it works with only two games – Lucky’s Tale and Oculus Dreamdeck.
