NomaiVR Space Suit Pressing B Glitch

[Jasonhallowell]

When I enter the spaceship I put on the space suit and then press B on my quest 3 controller all objects disappear and I am just left in the stars with a keyboard in front of me with no way to get back without exiting the game entirely.

To Reproduce
Use the NomaiVR, Menu Framework, QSB and Vanilla Fix mods. Enter the space ship, put on the space suit and press B.

Expected behavior
I expect to be able to exit the ship or for nothing to happen.

Screenshots
Screenshot does not show keyboard but in the headset there is a keyboard in front of me.

Please complete the following information:

• OS : Windows 11
• Outer Wilds version : 1.1.15
• Outer Wilds vendor (Steam/Epic) : Steam
• QSB Version : 1.2.0

You are likely opening the chat by mistake, try turning this setting OFF:

Sadly this doesn't fully fix the issue. It DOES stop everything from disappearing and the chat window from coming up, but the character is completely frozen until you quit out of the game.

I can reproduce this every time, got this from the logs, please let me know if you need any other info:

Not familiar with unity and wouldn"t know how to begin to debug this, but this seems to be happening here:

quantum-space-buddies/QSB/HUD/PlayerBox.cs

Line 95 in b2e55d6

InfoImage.sprite = SpriteFromEnum(PlanetIcon);

Maybe try a null check over there?

[nico0145]

tried the nullcheck myself, it still happens, here's some steps to reproduce since I can't see any relevant warnings/errors and it seems like it's triggering something on the nomaivr side.

enabled debug for nomaivr as well, found lots of null point reference errors on update functions due to what I assume is the lack of keyboard, so I temporarily commented all keyboard related code to avoid hundreds of exceptions:

afterwards the only exception I still see it has to do with player not having a camera:

Consider using the SetParent method instead, with the worldPositionStays argument set to false. This will retain local orientation and scale rather than world orientation and scale, which can prevent common UI scaling issues.

But all this happens before wake up, I don't get any exceptions during this behavior

Here's some extra data:

[JohnCorby]

this might be related to #694 ?
as in, its pausing the game when it shouldnt because of a patch

[thorio]

Try disabling all time freezing options in the preflight checklist from the main menu. Combined with disabling text chat input, this worked for our group.

For anyone who wants to play VR co-op with a friend on flatscreen i found a fix and i did a full VR Co op Playrthrough, here's a tip: if your screen turns black when you put on your spacesuit, have your friend pilot the ship and smack you around until you die. When you respawn, the game will be fully playable in co-op! While some animations aren't fully functional in co-op, it's a small trade-off for how incredibly fun this game is in VR.
