If you have any additional .pak files installed in your local Pavlov directory (E.g. custom scoreboard or other workshop stage related paks, usually found in:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PavlovVR\Pavlov\Content\Paks
Or your own Pavlov directory), you may need to delete them. The .pak files you’re looking for will either have workshop, stage, or noeditor in the file names. Don’t delete any other paks as those are game files

Restarting PC typically fixes this issue. If that doesn’t work, consider resetting your SteamVR bindings using the SteamVR bindings section.

Occasionally windows needs to update its ‘performance – Windows Experience Index’. Delete your windows temp files to clear out some older temporary files by clicking on start and typing “delete temporary files” You will see an option for temporary files. Make sure you are checking the relevant check boxes so you don’t delete your downloads folder.
To run the Windows Experience Index too, open command prompt with admin rights and use the command “winsat formal’”

This happens due to a buggy control scheme for SteamVR. Unsubscribe from any custom bindings you have (Or just remove your own bindings), and reset steamvr. Make sure your system clock is synchronized correctly in windows as custom system clock settings may affect the game.
My hands are stuck on the floor
Reset SteamVR Bindings, use default bindings, then edit again from there.
