Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Launch ViveCraft 1.12.2 from java launcher.
Pick up Vive HMD and look around, no problems.
As soon as one of the vive controllers are moved ( if they are switched on before launch ) or switched on, the rendered view in the vive is not updating position or rotation of hmd and the image that is still visible in the hmd continues to render the games graphics and animations.
SteamVR reports java as not responding.
I opened an issue on the creators git and he reported the same problem.

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Download and install minecraft for linux.
2. Download Vivecraft 1.12.2 exe installer.
3. extract with file-roller.
4. cd to folder with vivecraft extracted content.
5. Execute command to run the installer: $ java -cp . Installer
6. Start Minecraft launcher.
7. Launch ViveCraft 1.12.2

I can create a video of this with or without a camera view of what is being done with the vive if it will be of any help.

Thank you for your assistance 😃
