I am using an Oculus Quest 2 in tether mode. The game launches in VR mode fine. However, it does not detect the controllers even though the controllers work fine in other games and in desktop mode! A...

Hey @xrayspectra,

Welcome!

Funny enough I just received my Oculus Quest 2 (Meta Quest 2 as what they're called now) a few days ago and SW: Squadrons is the first game I tried in VR. :D

Back to the issue that you're experiencing.

Are you saying that you want to use the controllers of the Quest itself? Or something like a connected Xbox controller?

What I did to make an Xbox controller work, for example, is the following:
- Boot the game itself at least once on your PC and make sure that the game recognises your controller and that it also works.

- Close the game and connect your headset, load up everything that you need for it (I believe Steam VR?)

- Go back to Origin and start the game with your M&K, but immediately switch to your Xbox controller once the game has loaded (wiggle the thumbsticks a bit to 'wake' the controller) and see if you can use it to control the menu.

- While controlling the game with your connected Xbox controller, turn on VR mode.

We also have a dedicated guide for the VR mode of the game on our EA Help page.

Hope this helps.
