These are configuration settings necessary to get Legacy RealVR mods working
General Notes/Settings
- This section has general guidelines for how to get Legacy RealVR mods working from scratch
- Some Game-Specific Settings and profiles are available
- Old RealVR mods lock normal pitching up/down of the camera but don’t block the vertical movement of the camera in 3rd person games, causing issues for aiming and looking around. A combination of VRto3D settings and some other tools can be used to mitigate these issues, but it’s not perfect.
- RealVR usually forces a 1:1 aspect ratio in the 2D game window. In some games, changing to 16:9 ratio will result in issues. VRto3D forces the aspect ratio and field of view in the Headset 3D view, so you will always get the correct aspect ratio in 3D regardless of the game window’s aspect ratio
- You can adjust the
fov from the VRto3D OSD Stereo tab (Ctrl + Home or Start + D-Pad Down) and the aspect_ratio from the System tab if desired
- Convergence adjustments do not work with RealVR mods, so DO NOT USE
Ctrl + F5/F6
- It is necessary to set games to run in windowed or borderless mode.
RealVR Notes
- The RealVR menu can usually be pulled up in-game using the
PAUSE key
- Sometimes the menu won’t be visible in your headset window, so you will need to use pitch emulation to look up
- The menu font size can be changed by holding
Ctrl and using Mouse Scroll
- Values can be typed in by selecting them with
Arrow Keys and pressing Enter
- Check render resolution (if available in the particular game mod) and ensure it isn’t super high, as it will affect performance
- It seems that
Legacy AER mode works best for 3D with the least amount of artifacts but is less smooth and you may experience eye flipping
