So, this was really brought to light with the recent event where I actually ventured into the Cams category to try this out, but sadly, it was just tech troubleshooting with no resolution.
So my setup was Handy + DeoVR through steam with an Index - connected via wifi. Scripts work flawlessly, and it will say 'Connected' while in a cam show as well (and the model can see you being connected) but the toy won't respond at all. The only time I got it responding was when I simultaneously had the same room open in a browser and connected handy via BT to that room - but never really working for longer than 5 seconds, just constant disconnections into not allowing reconnect.
So am I missing something here (because surely this has been tested prior to launching an event focusing on the feature)? Is it supposed to be bluetooth only (and if so why) and if not - why doesn't it work via wifi?
There were multiple people in the chat with the exact same issue. Sad use of 150 tokens (non-refundable, of course) as I was really looking forward to trying out the cam section together with this feature specifically.
