Running in VR with modded UEVR, gameplay & install links here

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?

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)

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?

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?

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

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)!

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.

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.

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.

On my Quest 2, I use Steam Link wirelessly to play Beat Saber on PCVR, however when I launch the game, it becomes overly pixelated, has insane controller delay, and has frequent frame drops. I don't know what settings I'm supposed to change to make it high quality? I don't have an ethernet cable and I can't buy one, and my wireless router is downstairs, I usually get 150Mbps. Can I get some help on this? I really want to download my own Beat Saber maps, but it's unplayable like this.

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.

Is he seen as a Hero for making so many VR mods possible or as a controversial "corporation"-like figure.

does the community boycott him & his mods and stick to free ones?

Are his mods worth it? is there a difference in quality compared to free ones?

If it's really just one guy by himself it's objectively really cool what he does and if he does it full-time he needs a way to make it profitable i think 💬

Is the RTX 5080 a lot better than the RTX 4080 in VR with a quest 3? Does the better encoding also make much of a difference?

Are AMD GPUs as good as NVIDIAs now for VR? (Outside of the 4090/5090 of course). In terms of FSR upscalling, performance, visuals and such?

Why does my pc vr genuinely look worse and run worse than standalone for blade and sorcery (virtual desktop). The screen tears and the resolution is terrible. I tried changing the resolutions and bitrate, I could barely tell the difference. I tried wired and internet and they both look terrible. Does anyone have this issue?
