how do you turn the menu on?
I've been trying for ages and can't figure out how to activate the menu.

If it doesn't work, you probably did not enable Scalable Init Support.

its not wanting to work for me either. made sure scalable init was on and the save slot has addons on

is there a specific place your hand needs to be when it's by your head?

A hand needs to be in one of these positions (red sphere), with the trigger pulled and low velocity (i.e.: still): https://i.imgur.com/7ZesqYD.png
There might be an issue where the menu doesn't work after loading a save, I haven't checked it though.

It seems to not work after I loaded a save so you're onto something for sure there. It was working in the greenhouse then nothing sadly.

I started from chapter 2, worked fine. Then I got ammo and lost the ability to use it completely.

Yup. This sadly doesn't work for me on any level. I have and other addon.

I found a Temporary fix, which is to install and enable the Glorious Gloves addon. it replaces the Gravity Gloves, but Should keep Scaleable Init Support Working

I found it won't open sometimes if there is something in front of you or in its area, make sure you have space for it and in a standing position. Also if you don't close it and walk away its gone. You have to close it if you want to use it later I think.

I started in Chapter 2 and it disabled like you guys said, but like 5 mins later it worked again. Also, You need to bring the controller up to about the front of your shoulder, you should feel a very quick vibration, click the trigger ONCE, and it should work.

Which one is it ? relaxed position-> press and hold triggher -> raise your hand
OR
relaxed position -> raise your hand till the vibration -> press triggher once ?

this is SO confusing.
