No tracking on VRChat, perfect tracking on SteamVR - many such cases!

I’m getting a strange bug where oculus controllers will have absolutely no problems in SteamVR and other games, but VRChat just won’t track them. This seems to be the same bug that takes away all bindings from all other controllers (Index, Vive, Oculus, etc.) when you connect to the game. These bindings seem to be unable to be re-set in the SteamVR panel, and from what I managed to try on my own machine, that’s mysteriously something you lose the ability to set on PC until you leave the game again.

While uninstalling and re-installing SteamVR and its settings seems to work as a band-aid fix for some people, this is not reproducible for most cases (I, for example, couldn’t get that to work), and even for those who manage it, it tends to be only temporary.

This is both a plea for a better workaround and an ask for the developers to get to the bottom of this - see what the issue might be and fix it once and for all.
