Subnautica - Do you have problems with the controls, too?

Dear Community, 
I purchased Subnautica from Oculus Home and i have big troubles playing the game. The A button does not work at all. On the one hand I respect the work of the developers and I know it is an Alpha title. On the other side I have paid for it and this is not a graphical glitch. It is bug which makes it nearly impossible to play with the CV1.  Throwing away my knife each time under water and picking it up again for using it really makes me upset. It really touches me cuz I like the gameplay very much. 

Do you shre the same experiences? Do you know any solution for this? Is there any patch which is needed for the support of included xbox controller? 

Many thanks in advance. 

Cheers,
Nic

BTW: running it with a 6700k@4,5 / MSI 1070 Gaming 8G/ 2x8GB of Ram

Ok i have managed to solve the problem by creating new things? I played yesterday a while. I unbounded and controller buttons and bounded them again, but still it did not work. After the creation of the fins I put them on and suddenly:  It worked. Sounds crazy but its true. lol

I don't know if this is possible in the Oculus Home version but in Steam you can opt into the experimental branch, where often as not the controls work OK for the most part. Although it does throw up other bugs and graphical glitches from time to time.

The game is a work in progress and as such it has to be treated like one. Stuff will break and not work, it's entirely possible that your save may become incompatible with a future patch, that's the nature of the beast.

Just purchased Subnautica from Oculus store and installed it. When I start the game I am stuck at the first screen where I select new game, options, exit. Remote and Xbox controller do nothing. When I look at new game it turns orange but no matter what I do no button will select. F2 does work on the keyboard to let me center screen but that is it. Any ideas? All other games work fine.

Try clicking your mouse on the subnautica screen on your monitor.  If it's not the active window you'll be sending all your button clicks to Chrome or whatever.
