Ye olde virtual modde

Bravo, no, bravissimo to Beardo Benjo for rediscovering my first open world mod! Turns out it can still be played today, with just a few preliminary operations to roll back the game to the last version before the publisher decided they were selling too many additional copies to VR lovers ;-)

The fully story of what happened is available here.

Release 11.3.2 of the R.E.A.L. VR mod, attached at the end of this post, adds Far Cry Primal to the list of titles that we can play in VR.

Far Cry Primal is one of the weirdest installments in the Far Cry series, and some say that its gameplay can be a little repetitive. But it has some truly magical moments, that become even more special and unforgettable in virtual reality.

Give it a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! Also, the...

Happy holidays in VR with Far Cry 5!!!

Updates and known issues: scroll down to the end for the latest information.

As I anticipated to you some time ago, I'm trying to work my way backwards through the Far Cry series, and today is Father's day (if you never played this game before in 2D, you'll get what I mean after just a couple of cutscenes!).

Here we go again

Release 10.8.0, attached below, is a hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077 that makes the R.E.A.L. VR mod work again with the official 2.1 game update.

Fortunately they said this update will be the last, as keeping CP2077 shipshape was starting to turn into a full time job :-)

This is still kind of a work in progress. It's fully playable, but a few things that I had fixed in previous releases (like subtitles sometimes ending up headlocked and thus hard to read) are broken again for now.

Another day, another fix for CP2077

Ever heard of the gift that keeps on giving? []-D

This release fixes a minor but annoying problem with the HUD of Cyberpunk 2077 in VR.

After some cutscenes, camera changes, and other scripted events, the main subtitles (those appearing in a fixed position toward the bottom of the screen) and the phone menu could become headlocked instead of being properly displayed on the normal HUD, which made them quite difficult to read and interact with.

There was a workaround (the issu...

Hotfix for Grounded

Hahaha caring for these mods feels just like having a bunch of male kids. At any given time, there's always one or two ending up into trouble or hurting themselves :-D

This release fixes Grounded after the official 1.3.0 update made the game appear in a virtual 2D window instead of being properly displayed in full 3D VR.

The game has a new creation mode that I didn't have time to test. Let me know if you encounter any problems with that, so in case I can try to fix them too <3<...

Cyberpunk 2077 VR video showcase

Dear friend and VR activist extraordinaire Beardo Benjo is at it again!!!

The video embedded above is a beautiful, relaxing stroll through Night City that will give you a really good feel for how incredible the world of Cyberpunk 2077 looks in virtual reality, even if for some reason you don't own a VR headset or the game itself.

As Beardo Benjo recommends at the end of the video, please hit all the buttons, because he deserves our full support for the amazing, daily work he's doi...

Accurate sync for CP2077

This release introduces a new, hopefully more robust way of pacing a DirectX 12 game engine with my VR framework.

In Cyberpunk 2077, some users (myself included) could experience occasional frames where the whole VR world would flash with random colors, either in one or both eyes. This was more frequent when running at very high resolutions without DLSS and with AER v2 set at 1/2 rate, and it was due to a change introduced in resource usage by the latest official game updates.

Rel...

Fix for CP2077 crashes and jittery HUD

Update Nov 3: After publishing v10.6.0, I discovered that world geometry (walls and such) could still be missing in specific points of some missions, for example the final part of The Pickup. This is due to a problem in the way REDengine 4 computes level of detail for assets when high FOV values are used. It's not limited to VR (see this 2023-11-01 18:50:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Release 10.5.0 fixes CP2077, FF7R and Spidey

This is a maintenance release. Lately there's been a flood of official updates to several games in our VR collection, and that directly affected some of the mods, breaking stuff here and there.

Additionally, the changes I had to make to my framework in order to support the new updates resulted in me accidentally introducing some regressions, even for titles that used to work correctly :-(

Most of the issues should be fixed now. I still have a few outstanding reports about problems...

WIP fix for CP2077 enables Phantom Liberty (finally!)

Update Oct 10: Release 10.4.1 fixes several of the remaining problems. See the Known issues section for details :-)

Hi guys!

As I feared, adapting the R.E.A.L. mod to the new Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update (which in the meantime was again tweaked with patch 2.01) was quite a hard task. Or to be more precise, it is a hard task, because the battle is not fully won yet.

I know that you're all impatient to play the game in VR, so I'm giving...

CP2077 update 2.0

This is not the post you were hoping for, I'm sorry :-(

I'm not writing to publish a hotfix for the official 2.0 update that broke the R.E.A.L. VR mod for Cyberpunk 2077, but to warn you that such a fix will probably take me a long time.

I have 42 points where my VR framework code connects to the game. 33 out of 42 have been completely broken by the update, and even the remaining 9 no longer work as they should.

So I'm afraid that fixing the game will likely be almost as tim...

Far Cry 6 gameplay video and hotfix

Hi folks! Sorry that it took me a few days to release this update.

Release 10.3.4, attached at the end, fixes a couple of problems with Far Cry 6 (see the main post for instructions on how to get the game running in VR):

• the gesture that activates the mod overlay (pressing both thumbsticks on the gamepad) will no longer erroneously trigger during gameplay, but it will behave as usual wit...

Far Cry 6!

[See "Updates, known issues and troubleshooting" at the end of this post for the latest news. If you're still on 10.3.0, also see the "Setting the resolution" section below which has been completely rewritten, after I found a way to inject a custom resolution directly into the game without jumping through hoops.]

You have been asking for it since, like, forever, and finally it is here: a R.E.A.L. VR conversion for a game in the mythical Far Cry franchise.

Hotfix for Uncharted 4

Please refer to the full post here for general instructions.

Release 10.2.1, attached below, introduces a workaround for the crashes that some of you have been experiencing in chapters 12 and 13 of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.

Unfortunately,  the crashes are caused by a game bug that for the moment I have been unable to fix. In some specific points of certain levels, the game crashes inside the D3D1...

Ian Higton has done it again!! Watch the video above to get a sense of what playing Uncharted in VR is all about []-D

Fix and DLC support for Atomic Heart

Ciao guys!

It took me a few days, but in the end I was able to fix my VR mod for Atomic Heart so that it is compatible with the latest official game update and with the Annihilation Instinct DLC that came out last week.

You can find the new 10.2.0 release attached at the bottom. As usual the same archive also supports all other games, including the latest VR mods for the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (see 2023-08-08 09:27:25 +0000 UTC View Post

The path forward is... Uncharted!

[See the end of the post for updates]

Hey guys!

Release 10.1.1 of the R.E.A.L. VR mod (attached at the end of this post) fixes an annoying problem brought about by the latest official update to Cyberpunk 2077: specifically, tooltips in the inventory screens were appearing way up, out of alignment with the objects they described, and in such positions as to be mostly unreadable. All of them should now be back in their proper place.

I also fixed a few minor issues wit...

High On Life and Atomic Heart

Let's end the month with a double punch :-D

Update 1: The Steam version of High On Life has a leftover (useless) VR hook that interferes with my mod. Release 10.0.2 automatically kills that hook when you run RealConfig, and I also revised one of my patches to make it work correctly with the Steam version.
For the crashes at start: try to rename or delete the "sl.interposer.dll" file from the "[GAME PATH]Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Nvidia\Streamline\Binaries\T...
