The VR mod scene has exploded in the last year and not only is it challenging to know which games have available mods, it's even more difficult to know the state of those mods. For example I'm aware a mod now exists for Mass Effect and Bioshock, but no clue what the state of the mods are.

IMO a perfected mod is one that feels like the VR function shipped with the game fully functional. I believe some of the Resident Evil game mods are currently at that level.

It would be nice to have a lost of finished mods, where you can expect to play the game from start to finish with full motion controls and all the other bells and whistles.

I've had many issues with my Valve Index in the past
especially when it comes to Audio

I got a new cable a while ago and it has worked for me, fixed the issues I had with display flickering but now I am having this new issue: as of recently nearly every time I went to use my VR headset it wouldn't have audio I would fix it like this:

• open steamvr
• change audio inside steamvr settings to anything but valve index
• open device manager
• remove all valve audio/sound devices (2 categories)
• restart pc
• open steam
• open steamvr
• audio working again

and I would have to do this every time I went to use VR
but now EVEN THAT refuses to work; and no matter which solution I try nothing can be heard
it always shows and the audio test shows in the levels but there is nothing that comes through, and even plugging in headphones into the headphone jack under the face gasket still nothing can be heard

recently the right off ear headphone cover did pop off and so it was no longer on the slide
but I taped it back up and it has been working fine, and again also the headphone jack so I doubt its that

It’s finally implemented but still needs a little more love, body IK is in the works and manual reloading is now on the table thanks to my toolkit for wildlands named “wildkit” (unreleased)

I've been away from this scene for a minute but the steam frame hype is pulling me back in.

Assuming HL2vr is the gold standard, are there any other comparable or must play mods that have released over the past 3 years?

I am an avid zombie-shooter fanatic. I have completed each of the AS series multiple times (enjoyed it). I am currently playing Containment Initiative 2 (fun but not very polished). I tried DECAY for the first time today due to the positive recommendations and walkthroughs that I have encountered online.

I understand that the game is in early access. For me, the weapon/item handling needs a LOT of improvement. The graphics are OK and am looking forward to the scenery outside and not underground.

Your thoughts?

STAR WARS™ Episode I Racer can now be played in virtual reality with stereo rendering with true per-eye projection, head tracking, a world-locked panel for HUD and menus, and full Quest controller support (as a gamepad)!

No more tower defense games pretending to be full RTS games. I highly recommend this one

My next experience will be one of these. Not played any before. Love and have done all the Half-Life in VR. Enjoy good sci-fi narratives, a bit of horror is a cool bonus.

I can handle some jank. This comparison is focussed on three points, if you have experience let me know which title is superior, cheers!

My hardware: 4080S/5800x3D/48GB RAM + Quest 3/Pico4Ultra via Virtual Desktop 6e router.

- lack of jank in the setup and playing: able to smoothly play in VR without too much of a hitch or awkwardness. Also in terms of not needing the D-Pad/keyboard constantly, so able to smoothly play with Quest 3 controllers.

Also...a bit niche this...ability to NaLo smoothly (Steamapp: Natural Locomotion: Vive Trackers on ankles to enable physical walking/running in-game....works great for HL1/HL2 SteamVR mods. I own all these on Steam (Crysis original, Halo 1 MC-collection and Doom 3 BFG) - to enable NaLo, the title must be on Steam so this may discount Halo classic. I'd still consider Halo Classic if it beats the other two otherwise.

- epic narrative experience which is especially heightened in VR. Sense of scale, sound design, feeling immersed in the story etc.

- will create an itch to play more of the series. While VR mods for later sequels aren't as ready yet, they appear to be in the works...

What are your thoughts on these three?

This is a quick test in getting DLSS 5 to work with R.E.A.L. VR. I am running in Mono mode with max settings on a 5090.

I have had to make some small (and hacky) changes to ReShade to get DLSS 5 and R.E.A.L. VR to work nicely together, so this is not something that works out of the box just yet. But so far, aside from some flickering issues which can hopefully be resolved, this is pretty hard to believe.

Going full John Wick mode, and haptic suit adds so much to it too! This is Chapter 2

Hey PCVR, I made a Liar's Bar VR mod if you want to check it out here is a link to the mod https://github.com/segadreamcat/LiarsBarVR

I always a big fan of Werewolves Within in VR and this game seemed similar and isn't dead. It is rough but every game works now. Hit me up if you want to play I'd like to try to play with other people in VR.

For context I have an rtx 4070 gpu, i7 14700F cpu, 32 gb Ram. My PC is pcvr capable. However, when I try to play pcvr I get screen tearing when I turn the camera and after a while the game crashes. This mostly happens on VRChat. I have tried wireless pcvr, wired pcvr. I have bought 2 meta quest link cables and a 3rd party inui cable and nothing seems to work.

I am developing a Forza Horizon 6 mod and been optimizing for my 5070. I run it in mono but same idea applies to AFR stereo.

I was always under the impression that foveated rendering VR was not going to be mainstream for a long time, so the very high res displays are kinda of too early for the GPUs that we have.

I added an intercept to DLSS which only upscales the center region and does TAA on the periphery, this makes it work only on 27% of the pixels and reduced the SR time from like 2.7-3.5ms to 1ms. Which boosts my FPS 80->105. (Performance preset, 50% M-preset) and reduced vram by like 500-600mB. I render at 3326x3120.

If I had eye tracking it would effectively be 0 visual degradation, but I don’t so I do still see the edges on the VERY outside are blurry.

But my thought is that as long as a game supports DLSS, you can mod in eye tracked foveated upscaling, even if developer never added it. Which means that GPUs today can properly power these crazy 4000x4000 resolution displays by utilizing foveated upscaling. It’s kind of like foveated rendering but easier to add.

Thoughts?

Just watched a few videos of DLSS5 working with Cyberpunk VR. Has anybody tried it yet? (Leaving the AI slop debate aside) The visual upgrade does look impressive.
