I've just updated and the app and server to latest and hand tracking has stopped working.  I tried re-reregistering the OpenXR extensions without success.  Anyone else seen this? Any idea how to fix?

안녕하세요.
저는 한국에서 VIVE FOCUS 3 를 사용중인데.
1.15.11c version 을 설치한 뒤로 VRChat 을 접속할 때,
계속 컨트롤러를 핸드트래킹으로 인식하는 현상이 나타나고 있습니다.

핸드트래킹  관련 설정을 모두 사용안함으로 바꾸었지만, 여전히 핸드트래킹으로 인식하고 있습니다.
정확하게 VRChat 에서만 그런 현상이 나타나고 있습니다.

Hello,

I’m currently using the VIVE FOCUS 3 in Korea, and since installing version 1.15.11c, I've been encountering an issue where the controllers are consistently recognized as hand tracking devices when I access VRChat.

I've already disabled all hand tracking-related settings, but the problem persists, specifically only in VRChat. Could you please look into this issue and suggest any potential solutions?

Thank you for your assistance!

Hello!

We are using the VIVE Business Streaming App with a Unity App using Azure Kinect.

Ever since this update of the Business Streaming App, our Unity application throws DllNotFoundExceptions for the k4a.dll of the Kinect DK.

When I uninstall Business Streaming, our Unity app works again as expected, so something within the Business Streaming app is interfering here now.

Is there any way to get an older version of the Business Streaming app for development purposes until a potential fix for this issue?

Best regards.

Since this update. It looks like hands get deformed using the Unity XRHands package and "XR Hand skeleton driver ".

Right: HandMeshManager from experimental Vive OpenXR RealisticHandInteration

I can attest to this issue. I am having it too.

Seconded. I would also like to know if I can get an older version back for now (like 1.14.8a) since the new input system worked very well with that version.
