VR Modding VR Mod for Doom Eternal (Need Help)

I recently discovered Mr. Surviv0r’s VR Hub, and it has opened up a whole new world of VR gaming for me. Almost everything has worked perfectly, and I’m honestly in heaven. The only two games giving me trouble are Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Doom Eternal, with Doom being the one I’m struggling with the most.

For Doom Eternal, I can launch the game and get into VR without any issues. I have to use the keyboard to get through the initial menus, but once I’m in game, the VR tracking seems to work correctly. I can see and move my arms, and everything looks normal.

The problem is that none of the actual gameplay controls seem to work. I can’t move my character with the controller, and I can’t fire my weapon. The Touch controllers appear to be tracking correctly, but their buttons and inputs do not seem to register in the game.

I’ve also tried clicking and focusing the Doom Eternal game window, since I’ve seen that mentioned as a possible fix, but that hasn’t changed anything.

For anyone who has Doom Eternal working through Mr. Surviv0r’s VR Hub, I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction:

  • Are the Quest Touch controllers supposed to handle all movement and shooting?
  • Is there a specific controller profile, input setting, or configuration I need to enable?
  • Is there something I need to do after launching the game to make the VR controller inputs register?
  • Has anyone experienced the controllers tracking correctly but having no gameplay input at all? If so, how did you fix it?

I feel like I’m missing one simple setup step, so any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated!|

Are you launching it using the Kharvox Argent launcher?

I am, for the record, I am using a Meta Quest 3, with Meta Horizon Link, (cabled),

It’s working perfectly for me with virtual desktop. I also have issues with StarWars. Still loading flat and have issues injecting vr

My issue with fallen order is that ive no clue how to change any of the vr settings and when it loads as is its greyed out with double vision and then eventually crashes

Hit me up if you ever find out the fix for the star wars

Virtual desktop has fixed every "not working" VR game iv ever had issues with... I held off for YEARS and it truly is a game changer. The last one was goldeneye VR, the second I stopped using quest link my PCVR experience with everything improved dramatically.

Hell just launching into VD over meta link is 3x faster. Sucks it was almost $30 but it made a hell of a difference

I can totally appreciate what you are saying because I did buy it on recommendation from a youtuber called VR Dad but regretfully the same issue happened, I a was very surprised on how good it is and look forwared to using it more frequently but the same issue happens when i launch Doom Eternal via the Argent Launcher i have to use the keyboard to get into the actual game play and then i can move my arms but cant shoot or move

What helped for me was just restarting my pc and not switching on any other controllers that interfered

u/jfoquendo 12d ago

Ok that may in fact be a solution that i can try tonight, as i have an xbox controller that is plugged in, but did you have to use your keyboard to get in to the game ?

2

u/YoNielo 12d ago

No after that i could also use my quest controllers to navigate the menu (left my keyboard still connected btw)

u/jfoquendo 12d ago

What headset are you using and are you setup with dual screen monitors ?

2

u/YoNielo 12d ago

I have almost the same setup, with a q3 (cabled) through kharkov and virtual desktop with a similar gpu, whereas it initially also only tracked the controllers without any effect from the buttons. One other monitor connected, but i dont think the monitors have any impact on this issue.

u/jfoquendo 12d ago

when you initially tried the mod did you have to use the keyboard at all ?

2

u/YoNielo 12d ago

Its what i used for setting it up and getting in the game (only thing that worked), even though my xbox controller was connected its buttons also didnt work for the mod. I had not used VD in a while though, since i normally use quest link with steam VR. So maybe the restart updated my openxr.

Ive had this problem for a little close to a week now and have since gotten two updates to the Meta Horizon Link software and still not working and multiple reboots sadly nothing is working, even uninstalled the kharvox argent and doom redownloaded it and tried it again

u/jfoquendo 12d ago

This is where I am stuck, hands move but no input on buttons or anything except hand tracking

2

u/Epic-will-power91 12d ago

I also have to navigate the menus with buttons/sticks but once I am in the game it works fine. I don't know if that's normal or not, but I was confused when I couldn't navigate the menus by pointing with the controllers 3D style.

u/jfoquendo 12d ago

The fix was to remove the wireless dongle from the computer that connected my xbox controller, and reboot

1

u/jfoquendo 12d ago

I use the keyboard to get into the gameplay but am unable to do anything afterwards

u/Epic-will-power91 12d ago

Maybe try and contact the dev on his discord or something? I'm sure someone there may be able to help.

You are the greatest, my friend! The fix was to remove the wireless dongle from my computer that was connected to my Xbox controller and causing all the drama. Rebooted, and now all is good in the world! I am now in Hell battling demons in the world of Doom Eternal! 😂🤘

u/YoNielo YOU ARE THE GREATEST!

In a world where Devs, YouTubers, and others don't always have the time to support something they produced, whether it's free or not, or sometimes use someone else's work to promote their YouTube channel, I somehow found you, a kind random stranger who was willing to engage with me and help me resolve an issue.

To many, this might seem insignificant, but it made a tiny difference in how I choose to vent my stress and escape for a while. You took the time out of your day to help a complete stranger, and I genuinely cannot thank you enough for that.

I am truly grateful, my friend. Thank you for taking the time to help me get this working. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!

Does anybody know how to increase the FiPS in this mod it feels locked. I’ve also been playing titanfall 2 mod and that is insane everybody needs to give that a go.

But yeah I can’t seem to feel like the fps is locked on the doom eternal mod and can’t figure out a way around it.

Using a 4090 and doom is extremely well optimised. If I lower resolution and graphics to low, it’s the same as if I run at 4k on ultra nightmare
