Release 2.2.4 (for RDR2, the Mafia Trilogy and H:ZD)

I know, the mounted position is suboptimal :-( As you saw, the problem is that Aloy rides all bent forward, and putting the camera in the correct position when the mount is not moving would result in horrible clipping as soon as the machine picks up speed. Unfortunately the camera doesn't give information about how bent forward Aloy is; it only reports whether she's on a mount or not. Perhaps in the future I will be able to actually tie the camera to Aloy's eyes, which would get rid of all clipping issues at the root! However the downside of that would be a lot of bobbing which might make some people sick

LukeRoss

I love that you can ride in this game, but the camera position on-horse is not great; it's rather on the neck of the mount. I tried tweaking the forward/backward offset position, but then you begin to see the characters head. Of course, I can't really compare it to RDR2, because I know you did some magic here in order to have a first person camera in the first place, and this is incredible already. But man, the immersion was great there when riding a horse, because you got to see the horse while riding it. Is there any chance that this can be improved at some point? maybe make the offset position to set itself automatically on the best position when riding or adding a separate offset option in the VR settings for that etc

petrus munteanu

The camera is aligned with Aloy's eyes, and she is very short (like, 5 feet tall). Even more so in the initial child levels, where she is about 3'3". So yes, it's a strange point of view for a man. The guards looks like giants from that perspective! That said, you can use the offsets I provided in the "HZD" tab to tweak the camera ;-)

LukeRoss

Have to ask though, is there any way I can raise the camera view point? I'm mostly playing sitting, and it feels a little low. RDR 2 was ok on this regard

petrus munteanu

So far HZD runs the smoothest I've ever seen, I'm running 2700x2700 with ultra settings on a RTX 2060. The clearest picture I've ever seen in a VR headset; it's pretty darn impressive

petrus munteanu

Hi Luke. I'm doing my best to gather support for FH5 in VR in the Race Department forums. A little support from the community but hoping for more. https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/trying-to-get-luke-ross-to-do-vr-for-fh5.212842/

Brad Lewington

Please use the "Reply to comment" button, otherwise you're creating a new thread with each message. SteamVR is neither needed nor recommended for the Quest 2: the mod has native support for the Oculus runtime.

RDR2. I have rockstar link to stream and the stream vr seemed to have issues where it too would cut out. so i reinstalled rdr2 and can now open through rockstar launcher but as the game begins the VR just returns to home

Hey Alec! Which game are you referring to?

LukeRoss

Hi guys, I wondered if anyone could help me or point me in the right directions. each time I load the game and start a new game my VR quest 2 seems to lose connection to the game and goes to its home screen and the game carries on, on the desk top. Is there anything i can do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I hate to jump on bandwagon but your post was rude, Luke's Mods in general are 98% better then VR game ready software and the mods are full games. I have played GTA5, Mafia series and HZD all with his mods which were excellent graphics and playable wise.

John Zigmont

There are issues with the Pimax headsets right now. Pimax recently sent Luke a headset to test with and some improvements will be made. For now in order to aim properly in RDR2 you must have parallel projections turned on and even then there are still some rendering issues. With your machine once the problems are fixed you should be able to get a really good experience. There are settings to improve the game resolution depending on how good your PC is and you will be be able to get a really good resolution once things are working properly. I currently have to play the MOD with my Quest 2 because it doesn't work well with the 8KX right now. If you only have an 8KX, you should hold off on playing the mods for now.

william mumford

i am the owner of 3090 + -i9-10900kf / Pimax 8kx! Just tried RDR2 game with this MOD and its SUCK! Even ULTRA settings cant help! game is sooo low resolution , i cant even aim properly in first scene fight ! Just a kid mod.... nothing special! If i am wrong provide me video where i can see REAL quality/resolution in this game ( not a monitor screen, but VR LENSE!)

any advice on implementing dldsr on those games

Just rename dxgi.dll to *.bak and the mod won't attach anymore!

LukeRoss

Hello, I would like to ask, how can I turn off your mod in Mafia Definitive Edition if I want to play without a VR. Thx

VR on that scale is pretty crazy really. Take your time and don't get too stressed out.

Brandon(Post Maester)

hi luke keep up the awesome work my friend im sure that you will bring it to us

JBOX

I hope that CP VR mod will be amazing, millions of eyes are looking at Ross now...

Giovanni M

Hey Luke, hope you are well, ive been trying to think of a subtle way to ask as we are approaching the end of January and im sure the burning question on everybodys lips is how far off is Cyberpunk as its looking like it may now be a February release. Ive absolutely no idea what it entails all i know is that im sure you are working very hard to bring it to us. I hope i am not overstepping my boundaries here its just we usually get a few words from yourself as a project is nearing completion, is there any update you can share with us at this point ?

Gaz252

Which one ? Far Cry 3 ?

Cercata

Hi Luke, I was wondering if you are intending on doing Far cry eventually, due to the poll results? I am mainly asking because the far cry bundle has a HUGE discount currently on steam

Lewigi

Thank you for the kind words, Neil!! Sure, to play flat just rename RealVR64.json to *.bak, and if you want you can also restore the original settings from system_ori.xml in Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings. To play in VR, either do the opposite or run RealConfig again

LukeRoss

Is there a way in which I can easily enable/disable the mod in RDR2, so that I can switch between VR and normal 3D mode?

The mod looks and plays amazing. Thank you very much. I've never played this game (RDR2) so it is great to experience the story for the first time in VR.

Is a clean instalation or did you have others mods before this one ?

Cercata

Thank you for the awesome mods! Got them to work without any issues. Still need to try Mafia series out. The only one I can not get to work is RDR2. I have reinstalled it several times, copied over the files into the game directory as administrator while game was not running, but no matter what I get no VR activation with my Quest 2 while in Rift or Steam mode. There has to be something I am missing. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

I played Origines with Z3D, Egypt was so awesome in VR

Cercata

I tryed the demo on PS4, it was nice, I wanted to play it, but VR arrived ...

Cercata

Oh, I need to add that HZD was totally unplayable (nauseating) on 1080 Ti, even after I reduce the resolution down almost by x2. It plays perfectly fine on 3080 Ti on full resolution (although not as crisp as GTA4 or RDR2).

dreamking

For those who are undecided about a GPU upgrade: to get ready for the upcoming CP, I just decided to upgrade from my 2x 1080 Ti's to a 3080 Ti. I was expecting some small boost in FPS in Luke's mods (because most of the time you end up being limited by other stuff like CPU etc). But what I got was a whopping x2 improvement in FPS in both GTA4 and RDR2. The games run in 80-90 FPS and alternating eye flicker is almost invisible. I now understand the settings in these games are actually optimized for a 3080 Ti (they didn't make much sense for my old 1080 Ti, so I had to tweak them before). Anyways.. If you are unsure if you will get a gain with a GPU upgrade, just go for it..

dreamking

Ghost recon Wildlands first person mod looks cool!! https://youtu.be/dUJWGZNMpNk

WIG

I've just started playing Assassins Creed Origins & Odyssey again, boy are those great games, they look amazing in Z3D but I can imaging if Luke eventually gets around to them they would blow my mind. Can't remember were they on the list? Valhalla no work around for 3d yet, that might be a challenge. Obviously The Witcher 3 is my Last Wish though (wink wink for all you Witcher fans ;)

The Merote

Thanks for the answers! I figured it might be a mod conflict, and I really shoulda checked that first tbh. It turns out it was the Aloy Adjustments mod, maybe something with that overlay was getting in the way. But I got rid of it, and now the first person is working. This mod is pretty amazing. I wish my 2080 was a little bit better ;') But thanks again, and awesome work!

KB

Hey KB, welcome! Nobody reported that issue until now. Do you have other mods installed for the game that may be conflicting?

LukeRoss

Hi! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I'm having a little trouble with HZD. The mod seems to be working fine, other than the first person mode not working. I'm toggling it on and off, but nothing changes. It's still a blast to play in third person, and the gaze-based aiming looks awesome with Aloy looking around, but I was wondering if anyone also has this issue. Thanks :)

KB

and Dying Light 2 :)

Gaz252

Hey Luke, you probably can't say but I really hope God of War and Uncharted Leagacy Collection are on your radar 😊

Shawn P Dobbins

Thank you Kevin! I'm really sorry for the RealConfig issue, may I ask you which specific portion of the script failed in your case? There are several failsafes already in it against problems like uncommon paths, but I'm always looking for ways to make it more robust. Your monitor resolution is not a factor. By Rift2 you mean the Quest 2? Are you using the Link cable or Air Link? Have you checked that all your encoding settings in the Oculus Debug Tool are at default?

LukeRoss

I didnt want to be a bore. So, I stuck with it and figured out how to get it going. The install was not in a standard directory for me because I have multiple drives and I didnt have the right ENV variable set either. The silver lining to all that digging is I never spent much time in Powershell and now I know a little more about it. Alright, that said. Congrats, this is pretty damn cool. We have come a long ways from the wraparound weirdness of skyrim. Thanks. That said I was disappointed that my rig couldnt handle it better. I had to back it off to medium settings to get it to run right and still got a lot of dropped frame during the more intense scenes like on horseback. This is what I am running, so I was wondering if I should be able to run it better. i7-10700 32gb @4000 and a 3080ti on a Rift2. One question I have always wondered. Since my main monitor is 4k, should I be changing the res on the main monitor to something like 1080 before I try to start the game?

Dude... my grandma is off her rocker STOKED for CpunkVR. #gramsneeds2chill granny get out and vote cyberpunk. You might not make it to 2032.

zer0

I'm not sure yet whether God of War will make the list, but I sure appreciate your kindness <3

LukeRoss

Far Cry is a very good series, and all first person, which maps very well to VR. However, the only reliable result that I gathered from the poll was that everybody and their grandmothers wanted to have CP2077 immediately :-D For example, while it's technically correct that the Far Cry series came out in second place, it only collected 89 votes for a huge saga comprising 6 major games and several spin-offs and episodes, whereas The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt raised 86 votes all on its own. And porting GTA V to my new framework, which collected 68 votes here in the Patreon poll, also received hundreds of requests from other users who wrote to me personally or posted in my GitHub or around the Web.

LukeRoss

We just had a poll and Far Cry series came second. I for one can't wait for the opportunity to drive around with my crew, fly helicopters, sky dive, squirrel suits, Hunting, take over bases, etc. IMHO That series is just beggin to be played in VR

Clint

You can use that month to do another poll for what's next or just maybe do a few easy things to make the mod better in general.

Brandon(Post Maester)

Luke, I think after cyberpunk, you should do God of War (because it sounds like you really want to enjoy that game in VR) and then take a month or so off and just enjoy playing it and whatever else you want to do :)

Brandon(Post Maester)

No, but I play again if Luke does a mod.

John Zigmont

So you don't wait for the God of War VR mod ?

Cercata

I'm half way thru HZD and Mafia 3 plus I'm playing God of War on my 3DTV also I have Hitman 3 in VR to play so I'm in no rush.

John Zigmont

Sure he's making headwys, but I wonder if even crunching he will be able to hit the january milestone, he set a very ambitious goal. We don't want him to bunrout !!!! I hope the next time he'll be more moderate when talking to big media, and put a security factor to his estimations.

Cercata

Hi Luke, are you making any headway with CP2077? I imagine cyberpunk is a tough beast to tackle. Does your framework help? Or is every new engine like starting from scratch? and hope you are not working yourself too hard. 👍👍.

WIG

Haha you're right as always Cercata, but in truth I'm not finding the time to play anything lately :-( Perhaps putting out one game a month is not really sustainable. Anyway, we'll see once CP2077 is out of the way

LukeRoss

Hey LukeRoss, are you planning to play Hitman ? The port adds hands, but just for some mechanics like shooting, most of the mechanics are true to the original, as you like ;) If you wanna remain in the top of your field, you must inspect what competitors are doing !!!!

Cercata

Hi Mattxc, welcome! The performance gap should normally be the other way around (the native Oculus implementation should run better than OpenVR). Also, the Quest 2 under OpenVR doesn't support alternate eye rendering properly. So we need to understand why you're having performance issues with the Oculus runtime. What are you using to connect the Quest 2 to the PC?

LukeRoss

To keep the mod from attaching, just rename dxgi.dll to dxgi.bak!

LukeRoss

It's all explained in this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/57546037 Scroll down to the "what about the big news" section :-)

LukeRoss

Sorry if this has been asked, but in the mod options under Renderer there is the default for AER, and then there’s the REAL option. What are the differences between the two? Both seem to work but I’d like to understand them better.

Michael DePalma

so how do i switch from vr back to 2D & back? is there a way? please & thank you!

this is my 🖌️BROOMSTICK 🖌️🫟🖌️

Please please please update the gta vr mod i love it soo much already but the ghosting because of the alternate eye rendering ruins it soo much for me i really enjoy red dead vr but it just doesnt hit the same as gta for me. Anyways i really enjoy your work and cant wait to potentially see cyber punk too :)

Hey, just wanted to ask for any suggestions. I'm running a 2070 super with a quest 2. Having really bad performance issues through the oculus runtime, much better openvr but when i move the character i get an odd blurring/focus issue. Any recommendations to get this running?

It crashes a lot in Valentine, for me it was hard the mission with the 2 bothers fighting for a girl, but it seems it happens algo inthe fflat version ...

Cercata

I’m getting a lot of crashes in Valentine :-/ It took me 3-4x attempts just to get through the short ‘drinking at the bar with Lenny’ mission because it kept crashing in the transitions between the different segments. When I’m outside of town it seems fine, but now I have a save file with my horse in town and the game crashes before I can even ride out of town. Are there recommendations for how to avoid these crashes? I tried different antifreeze settings but I’m not sure how that setting is supposed to work.. anything over medium made the game unplayable—if you turned your head it would freeze on a frame for several seconds. Any tips would be appreciated, really want to continue my playthrough!

Michael DePalma

I have this question also 🤔

Oh great didnt know that, i'll try it. For OpenXr apps id still have to use that new Tool for NIS, thank you though. Making steamvr handle OpenXr completely messes my room setup up somehow. I use the G2 with Index controlls

Sebastian Paulmann

fsr for steamvr has nis built in, you can switch between the two to see what works better with hotkeys also.

Brandon(Post Maester)

Has any WmR and OpenXr user already tried the new Nvidia image scaling tool (NIS)? Im not sure how to add other apps than MSFS2020. https://github.com/mbucchia/XR_APILAYER_NOVENDOR_nis_scaler

Sebastian Paulmann

Hi Erik! For RDR2 there's a full Troubleshooting post at https://www.patreon.com/posts/troubleshooting-51552016 You might have the Q3 issue

LukeRoss

so am new to this site not doing mods though..buut could use a hand or it said step by step help but cant seem to find the correct info... so i unpacked into the main exe game folder for a fresh steam install. un packed the 2.2.4. i believe or the one that seems to be the same file working on modding a few games...unless im an idiot and am missing something..so anyway do all steam install steps step by step on a rog that ive run cyberpunk and rdr2 itself great.so dont think its the computer. anyway sorry so here it is; I do all steps in order even have restarted afterward. then i get on oculus 2 and connect to pc via airlink then bring up desktop then steam and run rdr2.exe and a black screen does come up but stays forever as if its not frozen but wont progress onto starting...any help please ive been wanting to try this game vr for years! At this point im ready to hand it over via remote desktop and have someone please help!!! anybody???

By any chance do you have "HDR" turned on in your Windows screen settings?

LukeRoss

Hi and welcome, Heikki! The artefacts you mention are due to the fact that the VR runtime can only compensate one rigid rotation. So, if you leave the "1st" checkbox for "Camera rotation compensation" activated, as it is by default, the world rotation will be properly compensated but the hand and gun (which don't rotate with the world) will ghost. Conversely, if you deselect it, you will have proper rendering of the hand and gun but the rest of the world will ghost when you turn with the mouse/thumbstick.

LukeRoss

Hi! First, thank you for this mod. It works basically fine but there is this annoying hand and weapon jitter when turning. It happens also during lowest graphics. Im totally new to this and I have not find a solution or have missed it. Maybe I have to change some settings? Info: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X -8core. Im playing trough rockstar launcher and using Oculus rift s. Thank you!

did you change the openvr.dll file before adding the fsr one?

Brandon(Post Maester)

Tried to jump back into RDR2 tonight to try the latest version of the mod (been away from it for several months). The game loaded normally once. I quit the game and added the FSR mod as some have recommended on this site. Now the game will not progress past the "animal photos" loading screen, and it makes no difference whether I've got FSR installed or not. The music stops after about a minute and the little revolver loading animation in the lower right of my view in the HMD, but it will just continue cycling through photos until I force quit the program in task manager. Any thoughts on how I might fix this?

Michael DePalma

Any word on the next game's date? Super excited to try 2077 in VR!

Samir

The next release will have camera rotation compensation for the Mafia games too!

LukeRoss

Great mod for Mafia 3! I spent maybe an hour messing with the settings and am trying to figure out how to get better performance. I have a RTX 3060Ti. The best balance I could get was by lowering all the graphics (except textures) and using 2430x2430. This runs decently on my machine until you turn using the camera. Camera movement is always jittery, even on lower resolutions. 2700x2700 looks nicer but that’s where I began getting a bit of jitter even moving my character. I have tried changing the GPU throttling and did not see much of a difference in regards to this issue. I have also turned OFF all the settings that were advised. I am wondering if there is anything else I may be missing, because I have looked and not seen many comments about the jitteryness. The YT videos I have watched do not mention it, despite it being extremely noticeable upon any camera movement. The head tracking movement works great though. If I could somehow fix the camera movement jitter, and have it run as smooth as the head tracking, that would be awesome. The head is basically just a different control for the same camera, and the rendering shouldnt be any less difficult I believe? So I'm not sure why the X axis control with the joystick becomes such a problem when head camera movement is not. I ran RE2 VR (via the praydog mod) and it was very smooth on my machine. Just to give a reference for a newer game running on my machine in VR. So I'm not sure if it is my machine, or setup, or if M3DE just happens to be jittery but that just hasnt been brought up in the media Ive seen on it. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your fast response. I will try airlink or an older VD version.

Virtual Desktop is not compatible with my mods sadly. Only its author can fix it (older versions of VD used to be fine). If you have a Quest 2 you can use Air Link instead

LukeRoss

I have a lot of micro lags in HZD and Mafia if i play via Virtual Desktop (not playable). The Resident Evil 2 Mod runs fine without any microlags.Any solutions ?

1. Motion repro must be off, correct. 2. Not sure what you're seeing. If it's the shimmering halo that can be noticed even when you stay still and look at a nearby still object (like a tree), then the way to go it's to increase resolution. 3. There is no x16 antialiasing filter: are you talking about Anisotropic filtering? That should be left to its maximum value as it's very cheap

LukeRoss

If you don't have the dxgi.dll in the exe folder, something must have gone wrong when you ran RealConfig.bat. Could you try running it again, and copying its output here from the command window so I can see whether it looks correct?

LukeRoss

I realized that I got better frame rates due to OpenXR. Now it runs seamless. Best experience so far! Thank you Luke! Couple of questions, just want to make sure I have the right config set up. My system config are RTX 3080 and Hp Reverb G2. 1. I''m assuming the motion re-projection be set to 'off' in OpenXR. Is that correct? 2. I'm assuming targeting frames more than 100+ would reduce the little artifacts or shimmers around objects? Or should I target for higher resolution in game settings? Tips to reduce this? 3. The antialiasing filter should be set to min than x16?

Hi Luke. I signed up so I could trythe Mafia 3 vr mod, but cant get it to start up. I have the latest update of M3DE, copied the zip contents of MDE3 to my Mafia 3 steamapps>common>Mafia III folder. Then click "Play" for the game in the Steam app. I have also tried loading SteamVR first. What happens is the 2k Launcher app comes up, then I press "Play" again there, and then soon it quits and I am back at the Steam game page. I cannot find any instructions for what I am doing wrong. Thanks EDIT: I also double clicked and "Run Anyway" the RealConfig.bat file (but did not move it). I also did not mess with the openvr_api.dll file. I am trying to follow the instructions here https://www.patreon.com/posts/mafia-iii-to-new-58404045 I also dont see a "dxgi.dll file" in my game folder

I have found that using fsr and then using reshade to add color and clarity back in works well for me.

Brandon(Post Maester)

Probably not, but I'm not sure yet

LukeRoss

Hi Luke, is there a way to use the new nvidia DLDSR with any of the R.E.A.L. mods, or does the square resolution used in VR not make sense for that?

Tarun Charaipotra

It's not the mod! You just have to find a different way up ;-)

LukeRoss

I can't climb the 1st tallneck in HZD. I get up 2 rungs then the next one just won't work. Aloy keeps dropping down to the lower rung.

Justin Davis

Hi Asheel! The behavior is by design. VR needs higher resolutions than an ordinary monitor can provide, so the game has been modded to allow its window to extend past the desktop limits. The mouse will not be able to reach the hidden parts of the window, but you can still navigate the menus with the keyboard, although I highly recommend using a gamepad to play all my mods!

LukeRoss

I seem to have some resolution issue with Mafia 2, the in-game resolution is more than the monitor resolutions due to which the mouse gets unresponsive on certain parts of the screen. If I change the in-game resolution to 1080x1080, it works as expected. If I change the in-game setting to full screen, it works too. Just doesn't work in window mode. Can someone please guide?

Read the answer to the previous message XD

Cercata

I have the same feeling toward God of War :-D

LukeRoss

Hey yes, welcome and thank you for your support! For the freezes (a game bug sadly) you might want to increase my Antifreeze setting; you will find lots of details in this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/54423108 For the blurriness and pixelation, what GPU do you have, and which preset/resolution are you running RDR2 at?

LukeRoss

I have been so looking forward to Elden Ring, but now I don't know if I should play when it comes out or hope for a VR mod in the future. Thank you for making this stressful decision a reality :)

Brandon(Post Maester)

I want to start out by saying this mod is amazing. I've been using this mod for a few days to play RDR2, I've managed to get the game to run smoothly but everything is blurry, and certain things like horse hair is very pixelated. I've been tweaking with the in-game settings but it hasn't fixed the issue. The only other problem I've been having is sometimes the game will stop displaying on my Index, and I have to restart the game to get it running again.

Hi Justin! The mod works best if all NVIDIA control panel settings are left at default. V-Sync must be off, because you don't want to waste precious GPU cycles waiting for the desktop monitor to sync!

LukeRoss

Hi Luke. Should in-game Vsync be on or off? And what about in the Nvidia control panel settings?

I'm using it and honestly, I can't play without it anymore. This goes for RDR2 and HZD. It removes the awful blur that melts the details into a pixel soup. FSR brings the extra sharpness that lacks otherwise to be fully immersed in a detailed world. Once you've witnessed the level of details with it in those games, you simply can't go back ! My settings for HZD : (SteamVR's general renderscale at 150%) in game renderer 2700x2700 ; no DLSS ; camera based AA FSR "renderScale": 0.77 ; "sharpness": 1 ; "radius": 0.3 ; " applyMIPBias": true

Hey Derrick, thank you!!! So you liked the climbing camera? Did you tweak the offsets or did you leave it at my defaults?

LukeRoss

I continue to be amazed of your work Luke on H: ZD. It shows that you can make games like Assassins Creed games and maybe games like Tomb Raider and Uncharted possible in VR. I would have never thought that these games were possible until now. I have increased my Patreon payment. Keep up the good work.

Derrick taylor

He R.E.A.L.ly does :-D

LukeRoss

Ian Higton really knows how to put nice tittles to videos XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV2O_3er-mo

Cercata

Valentine is the most problematic area of the whole game as regards the freezes while loading new assets. Try with higher Antifreeze settings!

LukeRoss

Hey!, Love how it looks and runs most of the time. In RDR2 I've gotten into the state where you rob the train at the start, and I just can't get past the train robbery as it crashes either during the end of the train (shutting down train) or when we have finished and cutscene of traveling to Valentine is running. Antifreeze is set to light.

jere hiiri

Good stuff. Cheers! And happy new year!

Fearganainm

Awesome, Billy, thank you for the review!! God of War looks very good, it could become another Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice if converted to VR... Duly added to the pile :-D

LukeRoss

To disable the mod, just rename dxgi.dll to dxgi.bak!

LukeRoss

Thank you for the support, Jonathan! Some amount of ghosting when objects undergo lateral motion is normal, it's due to alternate eye rendering. It can be alleviated by increasing your headset refresh rate if possible, or by getting a higher frame rate in game (lowering the resolution and/or the graphics options). As for perfectly smooth turning, it's already implemented in RDR2 (see "Camera rotation compensation" in the post for release 1.1.0, https://www.patreon.com/posts/52136321 ), and it will be added to the other games in the next release :-)

LukeRoss

Luke I'm having issues with HZD and RDR and I want to remove mod completely and start over. I deleted all your files and verified the HZD game, however it wouldn't launch unless the opervr.dll file was there which then attempted to launch in VR again. I assume it has something to do with the realconfig batch file but can't quite figure it out.

Fearganainm

I gotta say, thanks so much for your efforts and making VR even better! Unfortunately I'm having an issue in mafia 1 where there's ghosting from any 3d models and kind of a weird stutter when the camera turns. I'm using the HTC Vive, with a RTX 2060 Super, and an i7 10700k cpu

Finished HZD. Full playthrough in VR after stopping at about 20% in the flat version. Gotta say it's an absolute tragedy that the bulk of users don't get to see these detailed AAA worlds in VR. Big highlight for me was having both first and third person support. I loved being able to explore the quieter places up close in first person and then drop into a third person view to fully orient myself in the combat sections. Thanks heaps for this experience. Not sure how everyone else feels and I know you've committed to Cyberpunk... but...I can't help thinking ... "God Of War" ... How great would that play in VR . Just sayin' :)

Billy Bloggs

Here is a link https://github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr/releases/tag/fsr_v2.1.1

Brandon(Post Maester)

have you tried fsr for steamvr yet? haven't tried with HZD but I am using it with DMC5 vr mod and it works pretty good, gets me same picture quality at 4k but I get good frame rate.

Brandon(Post Maester)

When VR turns off, what happens if you bring up the overlay and press the "Start VR" button? Does the game connect to the headset again, or does it seem like the Start VR button no longer works?

Luke, I am having a problem in which I can't seem to be able to finish any mission without RDR2 crashing the VR at some point. I have a i7-6700K 4Ghz with 32Gb Ram and a 2080ti with a Reverb 1 running in WMR. The problem is that the headset suddenly loses communication with the game and the headset image will revert to the WMR cliffhouse. The game will continue by displaying on my desktop monitor instead in the small, square game window. Note that I have the OpenXR renderer option selected from the "R.E.A.L. VR" overlay tab as you recommended when solving my stuttering problem above. I am using the "L" option from RealConfig.bat, and DLSS is Off in NVIDIA settings.

I play with the default settings included in the mod (2700x2700, everything maxed out except Motion Blur which must be off and AA = Camera based). Refresh is not so important, but if your system can take it, 120 Hz makes the AER artefacts look very natural, almost like motion blur. DLSS doesn't work very well in VR so I leave it off. I fixed it for RDR2, but I'm not sure whether that can be done for H:ZD too.

LukeRoss

Hey Luke! Just tried HZD and am loving it so far. I've got a 3090 and I'm aware that you do too, just curious as to what your personal graphics/performance settings are for HZD? Curious about what you've found to be the best refresh setting to set on an Index to get the best performance from your mod combined with which AA method, DLSS on/off, etc?

Michael DePalma

On a side note Mafia Definitive Edition is included in the Humble Choice Bundle this month for anyone who missed the sales and want to experience it in VR for a nice price ;)

Gaz252

With a laptop, the most likely explanation is that the integrated GPU is interfering. If your laptop has two GPUs (one integrated for power saving and the RTX3060 for gaming) could you try disabling the iGPU and rebooting? In general, with the Quest 2 there should be no need to use OpenXR, since the mod supports Oculus natively

LukeRoss

Great, Sebastian, thank you!! Actually people tell me that github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr works fine with my mods. I include the original openvr_api.dll because it's needed to launch SteamVR, but my version is unmodified so you can just replace it with the one from openvr_fsr. Please let us know whether that works for you!

LukeRoss

Cant stop playing rdr its so good now! I was wondering if its possible to inject FSR somehow with something like magpie or through reshade, because id like to compare it to DLSS and its great for bumping up modded Skyrim VR even more.

Sebastian Paulmann

i finally have rdr2 vr working but there is still something wrong. If i startup the game it will not start on my quest 2. so i see it on my screen from my laptop but when i open the overlay and select my oculus it says vr not rendering. but if i select the openXR option then it will start rendering but it is all so laggy and not first person etc. i have a amd ryzen 5600h with 16gb and a RTX 3060. i selected low in the config file. what am i doing wrong? or is my latop just not strong enough..... and i am sorry about the bad english i am not very good at writing in english.

Welcome Ju! First of all, with the Lenovo (or any WMR headset) be sure to select the OpenXR renderer from the mod overlay. Then while you're at it go to the "Overlay" tab and check "Show FPS" so you can monitor your in-game fps. You'll need at least 55-60 for a good experience

LukeRoss

Much appreciated Tim, welcome and thank you for your support!!!

LukeRoss

Just joined your Patreon! Wanted to say thank you for the GREAT work you're doing for PC VR! Can't wait for your next release!

Tim Chaisson

Hello, Thank you for your job Luke. I have kind of clipping/lag when I look around. It only appears in my headset not in the window. Do you know if it can come from a my cpu which is not enough strong, game/REAL mod config, or my Lenovo Explorer ?

"Combat file?" The mod only mods the game. you have to start it through steam.

Mika Eel

ofcourse. the mod only mods the game. you have to start it through steam.

Mika Eel

Hi Luke. Just joined your Patreon a couple of days ago and first I'd like to say that your mods are really awesome. It's really fantastic to be able to experience worlds like RDR2 or Mafia I in VR. In RDR2, I'm using the medium settings and I'd be happy with the performance for most things - it's really smooth when I turn my head to look around and fairly smooth when I get Arthur's body turning around too, but when on horse, turning the horse body around is quite juddery. I wonder whether I have to downgrade setting even more or whether I'm missing something. My rig is i7 8086K 32GB RAM and RTX 3090 - using your medium preset and DLSS (with a 3420x3420 window), with a Vive Pro 2 (motion compensation set to off, using 90hz mode)

itsmecamille

Hello, i am new to this. so i downloaded the mod for rd2. followed the steps from the readme file. but when i launch the combat file and press m and then hit enter. nothing is happening? nothing is loading it just stays in my desktop screen and thats it... i don't know what i am doing wrong. i am using the rd2 steam edition and my headset is a quest 2. i am doing something wrong but can't figure out what it is.. .

Hi King, you didn't say what headset you're using, but I guess it's a WMR headset. For those you need to select the OpenXR renderer from the "R.E.A.L. VR" overlay tab!

LukeRoss

Luke, I just got RDR2 this week and immediately loaded your mod. I get dreadful stuttering as I move my head around to view surroundings. I have a i7-6700K 4Ghz with 32Gb Ram and a 2080ti video card, a HP Reverb, but no matter what option I choose when running RealConfig.bat, the result is the same. I disabled Motion Reprojection in the OpenXR Developer Tools for Windows Mixed Reality app as well as the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR Settings app (since I don't know which one of these two programs is the one that actually sets it in the game), but again, no change in the stuttering. Maybe there is somewhere else I am supposed to turn off Motion Reprojection? I don't know if I want to go the DLSS route since that seems rather involved and I fear mucking something up even worse. Anyway, do you have some other ideas to make it work right? Overall, it seems to work pretty well except for this stuttering problem, and I have only had the program crash two or three times after putting in about 5 hours into it, so any help would be most appreciated. I should point out that I can run DCS pretty smoothly, so this problem appears to be peculiar to whatever setup I have for this game.

What you might have missed is that with the Reverb G2 you need to choose OpenXR as the renderer from the "R.E.A.L. VR" overlay tab :-)

LukeRoss

Hey Luke, thank you so much! GTA was just awesome in VR. Sadly I feel i missed something but tried everything with rdr and hzd. GTA ran perfectly fine maxed but rdr and hzd stutters unplayable even with everything on lowest possible settings. 3070 11700k 32gb G2

Sebastian Paulmann

Yep, that's correct unfortunately. You can get rid of those artefacts completely if you select Mono from the "Render mode" drop menu, but of course you will lose the 3D effect. I might be able to fix DLSS for correct Stereo rendering in the future, like I did for Red Dead Redemption 2, but no promises :-)

LukeRoss

for horizon zero dawn, is the mod intended to work with DLSS? The newer versions of DLSS rely on some game input parameters to work properly right? There are very noticable halos / ghosting / shimmering around tree trunks or people outlines in VR (2700 x 2700 2x upscaling quality DLSS), but in 2D, even at very low res (720 x 480), with 4x upscaling (ultra), i think the 2d DLSS still works better. In VR with ultra DLSS, the edge artifacts are huge, like greater than 5 pixels in width. It does improve the performance in VR like expected but introduces these edge artifacts that don't seem as apparent in 2D.

esthr

Hey John, sure! Just choose the first person camera from RealConfig. See this post for the full instructions for the game: https://www.patreon.com/posts/58404045

LukeRoss

Hi luke on mafia 3 is there a way to shoot in first person and drive like in mafia 1 def ed insted of 3rd

JBOX

Hi JG, you're correct about Mafia II. From my Mafia II post: "Except for a really intense cutscene, the whole game is played from a third person perspective. There are no first person mods available on the web that I know of, because MDE2 seems to have no headless models and no way to hide the main character. However (and this is the interesting part, on which I would love your feedback), I tweaked all the camera parameters to bring it up close and personal to Vito and his car, and to me now it feels really immersive, almost like 1st person. I always loved games (like the older Assassin's Creed titles, before the series went astray) where the camera hovers really close to your character." About Mafia I and III, I already have the camera rotation compensation partially working, it's going to be there in the next release (in a few days)!

LukeRoss

LukeRoss

Hi Mika! ID3D11Device5 was made available in the Windows 10 Creators Update on April 2017. What version of Windows are you running?

LukeRoss

Yes, the game is much less polished than monsters like GTA V or RDR2, so for instance during cutscenes you will see a lot of weird stuff in parts of the virtual set that were not supposed to be visible by the scripted camera, like floating cigars that smoke themselves, missing car doors and house roofs and whatnot :-)

LukeRoss

Got Mafia 1 and 2 running smoothly, except for when I turn with either the mouse or analog stick on a controller. It is quite jittery and warped. Turning my head on its own seems smooth. I read another comment that "Camera rotation compensation" was going to be added to M1&3. M2 runs great, but it is over the shoulder in 3rd person. Tinkered to the best of my knowledge, but I am out of ideas. Any tips to get a smoother mouse/controller input rotation?

I'm using quest2 vr, but mafia vr shows the game screen only on the monitor, and the game screen doesn't appear on the vr.

june kim

On Start ive got the Problem popup in Windows of the R.E.A.L mod process telling me "QueryInterface for ID3D11Device5 failed" I have the game running in the 1080x1080 window but only a broken "loading red dead redemption 2" window in my quest over steam. What could i do? If i start it with my mouse over the desktop client then it starts on my monitor. If i start it out of my quest steam library, the mentioned error appears. After i click on OK on the error popup window, the game crashes.

Mika Eel

Hi to all, I'm trying the mafia definitive edition vr it's awesome with a 1080Ti and quest 2,but i've noticed some little stuttering when in car and into the movie scene sometimes objects disappears or see some "ghosts" around People.. Is it normal also for you?

Aye aye Commander, I will do my best to keep it up! It makes me so happy, reading comments like yours... I mean, I enjoy the praise as much as the next human being :-) But what really moves me is the satisfaction of sharing with you guys the wonderment of living and playing in those incredible virtual worlds. I fully agree about the situational awareness, it's almost insane to think that most gamers in the world experience their virtual adventures like through a flatscreen darkly, when they could be surrounded by them... one GTA V user once told me that playing with my mod was like having his very own Narnia wardrobe in the basement that he could step through anytime he wanted <3 Yes, of course it takes good hardware to have the best experience. But for me the cost of hardware (even with the horrible GPU scalping rampage, erm, shortage) is perfectly justifiable: building the most powerful PCVR system you can have today costs more or less like a week of traveling abroad, with the difference that with PCVR you can do virtual tourism all year long, and to places that don't even exist on Earth!

LukeRoss

Luke, you rock and your latest is awesome. Like GTA V flat screen, I gave up on HZD flat screen about 20% through, just got tired of it. With your VR mod, I finished GTA V because VR just made it more immersive and easier (finally win those races). Now with HZD, I'm just simply blown away and redundant tasks are not tiresome in such an incredible VR world. Graphics wise everything is maxed and your mod is working flawlessly. Of course, with latest high end hardware and Valve Index, I can really enjoy your work. You make HZD appear made for VR. I played GTA V mostly in 3rd person, and HZD the same. VR just improves the 3rd person view experience by leaps and bounds. VR incredibly improves situational awareness and targeting with the head set can't be beat. You have broke me now. I use VR for race sim and flight sims. Used a 75 inch OLED TV for gaming. Now it is going to be VR for everything from now on. Forget flat screen. You killed it. Thank you so much!!! Keep it up!

Hey G. Yam, no worries and thank you for being straightforward about it! The 2060 super should not actually fare so bad... What fps do you get in RDR2 with DLSS turned on?

LukeRoss

Hi Luke I want to thank you here for your great efforts for the PCVR veterans. Nevertheless, I have to say goodbye to your project for the time being. It has two / three reasons. First, the games you chose are unfortunately an overkill for my little 2060S. Second, I can't keep up with all of the accumulated mods and games at the moment. And thirdly, the 10 euros are currently (in view of the two points mentioned) a bit of money for me personally. But I'll be back as soon as I've finished my pile of shame. Please go on ... and please consider your game selections a little. No question about it ... RDR2 is one of the best VR experiences you can get. But I can only take a gentle walk there. Mafia2 is hardcore horny for me. You know we players always want to have the best, nicest, greatest experience ... but what we want is not always realizable. It is of course very, very fair and nice of you to give us a choice as to which your next project should be. But please also keep in mind that performance and playability should not be neglected. Your mods are very impressive music of the future for me. Until I owned a 4060s or something like that. Thank you Luke!

G. Yam

It's totally awesome that Sony and Guerrilla are officially supporting VR, even if it's just on the PS5 []-D

LukeRoss

https://youtu.be/88lIoPk5AVU wow a new psvr2 horizon announcment. Good thing about owning a pc is we can experience triple a games like rdr2 and resident evil in vr thanks to modders. Where as console players have to get what there given. Looking forward to what psvr2 can bring to the table though.

Nicky Butler

I'm playing RE2 and I find it quite boring compared to RE7, almost all encounters are scripted and predictable. The MOD is awesome, the graphics are awesome, level desing is awesome, but I get bored instead of scared roaming around. Regarding HZD, I played it with a 2080 Super, mix of high/medium settings, 2430x2430 with DLSS quality, it looked nice to me

Cercata

My 3070 is struggling with hzd if I want it to look nice. I am able to get the praydog mods working at 4k on my G2 really well, so I will enjoy those for now and wait for updates :) Played through RE3 and it was great. Just started village and it looks amazing.

Brandon(Post Maester)

The 1080 Ti is a bit underpowered for RDR2 in VR, but some people have been getting acceptable frame rates with it! What does "Show FPS" say during gameplay? To quickly turn off the mod, just rename "RealVR64.json" to "RealVR64.bak"

LukeRoss

Hello New here have been using ur mod on RDR2 and am having a lot of fun although with my 1080TI FE it can get some getting used to the frameness lol but I had a quick question. im using the steam version and was wondering is there a way to turn off the mod so I can play the game normally or do i have to move all of the mod files to turn is off temporarily? Thanks. Looking forward to this mods future

Indeed!! Horizon: Zero Dawn had way more success than I expected <3

LukeRoss

So we start 2022 being more than a thousand patreons, this is gonna be a good year !!!!!

Cercata

Could you remind me of your specs (CPU, GPU, headset, ...)? Also, you know the drill with the RealVR64.log file and Pastebin :-D BTW there could always be an unforeseen regression, but the expected behavior is that the mod should not run worse than it did when the first version came out

LukeRoss

Whenever I try to use the mod for rdr2 I only get 25 fps on optimized or low. It looks as if the screen is jittering back and forth non stop. I used this mod when it first came out and it seemed to run better then than it does now. I'm sure its on me but do you have any advice?

MostLikelyInsane

Never mind, found mouse constraint in the graphics section. Funny place to put that.

Shawn

RDR2 Any way to force the game to lock the mouse into itself? I like the mouse and keyboard best, but the mouse drifts off and then interacts with other things, like if I right click to aim, it will bring up the menu on a file on my desktop

Shawn

Thanks John!!! I'll add that to the request pile :-D

LukeRoss

Hi luke playing and loving mafia 3 vr mod at the mo awesome work my friend, would it be possable for a quake 4 vr mod in the future as it dont work with vorpx anymore

JBOX

I've suggested the same previously man, so needs VR.

B A R O N

That's a pretty awesome plan! Let me warn you though, people here have lost themselves for hundreds of hours in the RDR2 world, and H:ZD is not that much shorter, so make sure you have lots of pizza before you get started []-)

LukeRoss

Merry Christmas !! Im new here and admire your job. I have plan play all your mods in 2022. expecialy cyberpunk , hope for extraordinary joy..... fingers cross!

tazitom22

Severed Steel should get a VR MOD for sure! Check it out

I'm not much into zombie games, but we'll see! Happy 2022 to you!!

LukeRoss

What GPU do you have?

LukeRoss

Hi Luke, is it possible that we might get a VR mod for Days Gone in the future? That would be an unbelievable VR experience! Happy New Year.

My pc is such a potato it can't even run low settings for rdr lmao

It's due to the different ways the camera needs to be controlled when your gun is drawn or holstered. I haven't managed to make the transition perfectly smooth (yet?), so there's usually one frame where it glitches.

LukeRoss

https://youtube.com/shorts/qyhV39zXodM?feature=share iv added a vid of something iv just noticed in mafia 3. Its nothing major but iv noticed a slight flicker when putting a gun away. Its not the best video but u can see something like a screen shift when putting a gun away. In the headset it looks like a screen flicker when putting it away. What causes it luke?

Nicky Butler

Thank you Gaz252! Yes, the climbing camera gave me good hopes for future Assassin's Creed conversions :-D

LukeRoss

Haha, it's all part of the immersion! Seriously though, 30-40 fps with Ultra on a 3080 seems way too low. For comparison, on a 3090 I get ~80 fps with Ultra at 1080x1080 with 5/2 Resolution Scale (so 2700x2700 in VR). If you paste your RealVR64.log on Pastebin.com I will take a look

LukeRoss

Thank you for fixing the rain issue Luke and you absolutely nailed it with the new climbing camera, im sure a lot of us were thinking Assassins Creed, despite the negativity surrounding Ubisoft theres no denying that they make some truly beautiful worlds especially Valhalla and to play AC in VR oh man i would pay double for that.

Gaz252

Hey guys, just joined a couple of weeks ago to try out RDR2. I'm running a 3080 at ~1950MHz and a 10700 at stock, with an Index for my headset. I get 70-80 FPS on the Low preset, 30-40 with Ultra, and ~60 with HUB Optimized. Does anyone do any better than this? I'd be delighted to be able to hit 90! By the time I got to the part where Arthur scraps in the mud with the big fella, I was starting to feel like I'd taken a few to the head myself!

Does camera rotation compensation work with mafia 1 and 3. I cant see the option on the overlay. Im using the latest release. It works in hzd.

Nicky Butler

New here today. RDR2 is cool, but CP77 is the most exciting news - love that game, and would love to see it in VR. Someone mentioned Elder Scrolls Online - that would also be amazing in VR. Maybe also take a look at Battlefront 2 - not the online part, but the excellent solo mission. The online worked ok in Vorpx. - keep up the good work.

Jesper

Hi luke loving all the mods so far you've done an amazing job on everything. Just wondering wether there is a way to have the game window minimized on the desktop while playing. Also i would love to see the arkham batman games modded one day, thanks again.

Nick Brimble

Hello Luke, is there a way to control the mounted machines in H: ZD like the way we control the horses in RDR2? The view is not fixed with the machine forward viewpoint. Instead, when turn the machine the view stays fixed. All this is in first person perspective.

Derrick taylor

I think it will be fine, the 3d implementation was geometry 3d which halves FPS, Luke's mods use alternative eye rendering which maintains most of FPS that you would get on a flat panel. I didn't vote for cyberpunk but it was the clear winner and will be interesting. I am sure Luke will be able to do it. If he adds the same features via the same methods as his framework then it will be great. It is not a great open world game but is a good action game set in an open world.

WIG

With the release of vorpx attempt at Cyberpunk falling flat. Due to breaking the cardinal sin of letting you artificial rotate your view on the Y axis as well as performance issues all around. I'd have to request that you abandon wasting time on that game. It's not ready for VR. I would instead like to request that you expand into a different genre entirely. X-Com, Enemy Within. Or if you want to stay focused on 1st/3rd person WASD format games. Elder Scrolls Online.

I got to say…I’ve been in vr for going on 7 years since gearvr innovators edition and the oculus dk2. I’d doubt I’d be into it still without lukeross mods…making non vr games into fluid smooth native looking vr experiences. I’d easily say Lukeross knows more what the gamer wants,cares about and the know how to port them titles into comfortable vr. In my opinion Jesus Christ is our sole hope. c

God's love sent Jesus to save us, not judge us.

Thank you for the support and the kind words, Roham!! To play in 2D, just rename dxgi.dll to dxgi.bak before launching the game. Reverse when you want to play in VR again

LukeRoss

Thanks for the support, Benjamin! I've already contacted Pimax tech dept about a few problems that I found, they will fix them but right now they're swamped with CES and the new hardware they're working on so it will probably be a few months

LukeRoss

Thank you for your support, Wilson! Please see the Troubleshooting post at https://www.patreon.com/posts/troubleshooting-51552016 , especially Q6

LukeRoss

Hey there! Thanks for all the hard work on getting these mods together! I wanted to ask about an issue I'm having with RDR2. I have the Epic Games Store version, running an Oculus Rift headset. After following the installation instructions, my game will launch in a square window on my desktop but won't appear in my Oculus headset...so no VR. Any ideas for what's needed to get it running in VR? Thanks!

WILSON JEFFRIES

Thanks Luke for another wonderful VR mod! Glad to hear that Pimax finally provided you with a headset to work out some of the Pimax 8kx bugs(like low frames i.e. the REAL frame doubling not working on RDR2 or HZD although it worked on the Mafia series and the aim being off from where bullets hit) but I still enjoy playing them a ton in the meantime. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more!

Based on the forum posts... it's not good. Which is fine because Vorpx is good at retrofitting VR on to other/older titles which no other service does. But it seems like performance is terrible coupled with lots of distortion and halo effects. It also seems to suffer some Vorpx quirks... like it being a real roll of the dice if the mod will even hook into the game on launch. Some internal Vorpx functions are basically hard coded to certain keys or gamepad buttons so some actions (thumbstick clicks for example) bring up Vorpx context menus (as such, people are reporting it is impossible to complete the tutorial without digging through vorpx debug menus to unbind certain fuctions). Index users also are reporting a letterboxed viewport. Seems like a case of something that's better than nothing. That said, I wish Ralf the best though. He has been doing good work for a decade now. Just don't think vorpx and cyberpunk are the best of matche, though I appreciate the effort.

sharilah

Merry Christmas guys, Ralph from vorpx released a stand alone mod for cyberpunk. https://www.vorpx.com/cyberpunk-vr-download/ Anyone had a chance to try yet? Any reviews? This uses geometry 3d so will half frame rate. From what I have seen I do not think it will stand up to Luke's work but still might be worth a look as it is free.

WIG

could be anti-virus program blocking the script

Don't know if I could be helped, but does anyone know why I can't run the bat file? CMD just opens then automatically closes.

Thanks a lot for an amazing experience! I have simple question, maybe you already answered it in another post but I was wondering if there is a easy way of starting a game, for instance, Maifa I in 2D? Right know I cant get proper screen resolution for my 2k monitor.

That's a very good suggestion. I'll see whether it can be done (not tomorrow though!)

LukeRoss

Luke the 3rd person close camera for climbing is excellent, would it be possible to do that when interacting like pressing a button or moving something like in the puzzle sections, opening doors etc?

The Merote

Thank you so much James, what you wrote means a lot to me and it makes me really happy! I do hope that the VR industry will begin to see things that way, instead of focusing on slightly-more-than-tech-demos that are forgotten after a few hours, or whining that it's too hard and expensive to convert existing games!!! Welcome to the Patreon :-D

LukeRoss

Hi Luke, just wanted to say that I’ve been into VR since 2016 and I have finally realised that one of my favourite ways of playing games is with a game pad. Obviously when a game such as Half Life Alex comes a long then it’s magical, but these games are too few and far between lately on PC. When people say that VR can’t be immersive with a game pad just don’t appreciate the fact that sitting down, chilling out and playing rich story driven content such as RDR2, Mafia, HZD, Alien Isiolation. Is in my mind much more immersive than playing 90% of stuff with motion controllers out there and it’s all thanks to the likes of you, who put in the time and effort to bring these epic games to us. My only regret is I wish I would of become a patreon earlier, but better late than never. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Luke.

Please use the "Reply to comment" button to avoid creating a new thread for each message. I don't understand what you mean, to be honest. Could you shoot a brief through-the-lens video of what you see in your headset, then put it anywhere I can watch it like on YouTube, Drive, what you prefer?

LukeRoss

The camera goes to the side of arthur and snaps back to him slightly. Causes eye pain. Thanks Luke!

Quest 2. 3070.

Right at the top of the "HZD" tab

LukeRoss

Hey John, for Aloy popping up you can just recenter from the mod overlay (the headshake gesture doesn't work with Pimax headsets). If that's not enough for you, you can also adjust the front/back offset of the camera in the "HZD" tab. Wrt the flickering, it would be really helpful for me if you could shoot a brief through-the-lens video of what you see in your headset, then put it anywhere I can watch it like on YouTube, Drive, what you prefer.

LukeRoss

Hi Michael, what are your system specs and headset?

LukeRoss

Great mod. A lot of camera stuttering for me right now on RD2. Like a flicker. Any way to fix this?

It may not be ideal, but what u could do is install moonlight on a spare phone or tablet, connect the gamepad to it via OTG or BT, set its streaming quality to the bare minimum so it doesn't affect ur network's bandwidth much and take it wherever you're playing with your headset. Unless I misunderstood what you're trying to accomplish in which case nevermind :D

MavrikYogi

i really like the mod for HZD but in first person im kind of seeing aloy popping up like on and off i dont think this was the case with the 2.2.2 release but its kind of unplayable on my 8kx ill try this again with my friends quest 2 because the flikkering and stuff is just to annoying hope pimax can help fixing it merry christmas and keep up the good work

John Dam

Try loading another save or re run the bat file just click it a pop up appears click k to keep setting then any other button to close pop up then re start the game

WIG

how do i key bind 1st person mode?

Stephen Quigley

So I was about to ask a question, but It was answered already. "Don't use Virtual Desktop". So, Everyone here needs to send feedback to Facebook to allow Blutooth controller passthrough like VD does over Airlink

Thank you Cercata!!! I'm glad you like it, I too immediately thought of Assassin's Creed and climbing in 1st or almost 1st person :-)

LukeRoss

OMG, the new climbing camera is awesome, I hope someone at ubisoft is spying on this for their AC VR game. It's sad there are not many climbable things in the game, I want more banuk stattues

Cercata

I was sceptical on 3rd person vr conversions but playing mafia and hzd has changed my mind. The work luke has done to get these running in first person and vr is amazing. The world scale and point of view is spot on which i dint think it would be. I have a few favourite modders and luke is number one for me. Il keep supporting and merry christmas everyone :)

Nicky Butler

i mean run the RealConfig batch file. It was playing fine in VR but when I added update it put me in the desert and my character wont move.

Stephen Quigley

Hi Stephen, I don't quite understand what you mean by "add batch files". Since you are a new user, please read the full installation instructions which are found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dary-horizon-60054014 The mod doesn't change the saved games at all: if you start out in the middle of the desert, that's where you left off when you last played the game in 2D.

LukeRoss

should i reinstall game then add batch files to get to work? please see comment above for my situation

Stephen Quigley

This release has no changes as regards that particular game bug, you still need to use an Antifreeze setting which is high enough for your system and mission

LukeRoss

Still crashes/ freezes on RDR2 on light and medium setting on the antifreeze at strawberry by the autosave point and near the stables

Derrick taylor

Thank you so much!

We are getting our moneys worth unlike the Quest store & Steam VR, 90% garbage. We wanna play great games but in VR not short VR experiences and these companies are nuts not to port these great games to VR so we are lucky we have the no1 modder of the year to help.

Well done Luke, what a great job you have done for us VRers

Shawn, please read this post carefully: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dary-horizon-60054014 You're almost certainly using a WMR headset. Quoting from the linked post: "Due to a bug in the SteamVR driver for WMR that has been outstanding for many months, with WMR headsets like the Reverb G2 you will need to use OpenXR. Select the OpenXR renderer from the "R.E.A.L. VR" tab; the mod will save and remember your choice for the next runs. If you still have tracking jitters after that, get the OpenXR Developer Tools for Windows Mixed Reality from the Microsoft Store, and use them to check that your active OpenXR runtime is set to WMR (if it's set to SteamVR, tracking might still not work correctly). Then, in the developer settings page of the tools, you should make sure that Custom render scale is set to 100% and that Motion reprojection is Disabled."

How the f*** are you doing this blood magic without access to the source code? I'm extremely impressed and wanted to thank you again for your hard work and wish you a nice end of the year and a happy new one.

But convergence doesn't have a meaning in real VR, no ? No VR games have it, I thibk it would add distorsion

Merry Christmas Luke and eager to see the January update ;).

Hi all. Just joined and having a big issue with HZD. In game every time I rotate the camera with the thumbs tick or turn my head, its jittery to the point of making me kinda feel sick. If you've ever tried the Nintendo labo VR with Breath of the Wild its almost exactly like that where it jitters and almost feels like the camera keeps snapping back to the original position anytime I move my head. I feel like everyone else probably isn't getting this so I must be doing something wrong. Sorry if this is old news and been solved already, still trying to navigate this site and it's resources. Hoping someone can help? Thanks

You can assign the audio to the Oculus headset in-game. That's what I had to do to switch from hearing on my normal speakers

Hi Luke, I get frequent Crashes with RDR2 with the following showing up consistently just before a crash: 21:22:05:762 [RENDR] | WARN | Poses not available: skipping submit 21:22:10:512 [RENDR] | WARN | Poses not available: skipping submit 21:22:10:513 [RENDR] | WARN | Missed TAA frame 21:22:10:541 [RENDR] | WARN | Poses not available: skipping submit 21:22:10:541 [RENDR] | WARN | Missed TAA frame 21:22:10:574 [RENDR] | WARN | Missed TAA frame 21:22:10:607 [RENDR] | WARN | Missed TAA frame 21:25:26:774 [27472] | WARN | Game might be frozen (not presenting for one full second) 21:25:26:774 [27472] | WARN | > 278 asset loading ops detected, 1 still stuck 21:25:30:777 [27472] | WARN | Game has been frozen for 5 seconds now: killing the process 21:25:30:924 [27472] | INFO | Exiting ... 21:25:30:924 [27472] | INFO | Uninstalling 426 hook(s) ... 21:25:31:995 [27472] | INFO | Finished exiting.

This is very cool. Just finished playing for over an hour (Oculus Air Link with an Oculus Quest 2. I wonder if there is a way to get the (3d?) audio to the speakers of the headset?

Hans Raaf

ok so i added the update and ran the batch file. When I load save it puts me in the middle of a giant dessert with campfires everywhere? Was I supposed to keep or delete the files when asked when running batch file?

Stephen Quigley

Luke, I'm so glad I was able to support you here. This is great work, and the VR community is better with you on board! Thanks again, and hope your Christmas is a great one

David Pierce

sorry my english is not that good

I have to say very clearly that it is unbelievable what the hatch has created for all of us supporters, if I sometimes read 10 € or dollars a month is too expensive then I ask myself why do you buy VR glasses when you are already at 10 € howls when you look at what game manufacturer does for VR, it's almost nothing except such small snippets of games, there are few big good games like .Alyx MOH etc. what Luke does here is exactly what many have always wanted, me I have been a supporter of Luke for a long time and I will stay that way. I am simply grateful for what has been made possible for us here, I wish everyone a merry Christmas and you Luke especially and relax. Greetings from Germany

Toshie27

re: RDR , Just wanted to say this update has a huge perceived performance gain due to the prediction rewrite. Also, I had turned TAA sharpening up beyond what realconfig sets to mitigate blur , and that caused lots of crashes, so if anyone is doing that, know it can ruin stability. Awesome update, Luke! ''

Tarun Charaipotra

What device are you playing on? Did you get the game on steam, epic or gog? Are you getting any errors?

WIG

I wish you (and all my fellow VR enthusiasts) a very merry Christmas and a hopefully more straightforward 2022

I had just started playing HZD in pancake mode (albeit in 32:9 and HDR) after their latest patch finally resolved the constant CTDs I'd experienced with the game. Was really impressed after only a couple of hours of playtime. It really is a visual tour de force and stands up there with Microsoft Flight 2020 as a best in class implementation of HDR (maybe COD Black Ops Cold War too but unfortunately it's a very uninspiring game imo). So, when Luke announced his VR mod it was just the best festive surprise. I thought this game was good in 2D. Omg, in VR it's absolutely next level. Luke...each new title you work on just raises the bar again. Such a solid implementation. Spent a lot of time messing around changing resolution/render options etc and completely rock solid. That's the most impressive thing about what you're achieving here. Your integration feels almost native, like it was always meant to be that way :D

Robin White

Thank you Luke enjoy a break over Christmas. Justt wondering how difficult would it be to add convergence and divergence sliders that can be adjusted by users? I quite like having convergence higher and making the 3d stronger. This was a thing back on vorpx that I used to like using.

WIG

Thanks for the update Luke Happy Holidays to all

John Zigmont

In 2 days Ralf (The VorpX guy) is gonna launch a free mod for CP2077. If the quality is good, maybe it would be better if Luke worked on another game ...

Cercata

I just made a stress test, I took a fort under the rain, it was flawless :) Enjoy the holydays, you deserve a good rest

Cercata

Hmm game loads in VR but its 2D in the 1:1 screen in Horizon Zero Darn VR.

Lewis Viper

Played about 15 hours of HZD now (3080/10700 + Quest 1) and its been absolutely incredible. The scale of the towering machines is exactly the thing that VR can convey that you simply can't achieve on a flat panel. The three issues I've had (wanting a third person toggle key, jitter in the camera turn, and the odd HUD jumpy thing) have all been addressed in this patch! Thanks heaps for bringing this to VR. My favourite so far.

Billy Bloggs

Loving HZD so far, great job! I'm also extremely excited for CP77! Thanks and merry Christmas Luke!!

Clint

I haven't installed this version yet, but I'm totally amazed and grateful that you released another version so quickly that attempts to fix the biggest requests (or bug reports) with the previous release. Can't wait to try it! Thank you so much!

Scott Grigsby

Meery Christmas and thanks for your hard work !

Deehn

Great work Luke! I'm glad I finally joined up to support you. Looking forward to cyberpunk and all the mods you ha e in-store for us next year. Have a great holiday!

Black Aesop

Boat Kettle Cheese

Happy Holidays to all! See you guys all next year! Can't wait to see CP77 and the many other games you will mod for us!
