Luke Ross RealVR Mods

These are configuration settings necessary to get RealVR mods working

General Notes/Settings

• This section has general guidelines for how to get RealVR mods working from scratch
• Some Game-Specific Settings and profiles are available
• 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 modify the aspect_ratio and fov VRto3D settings if desired
• Convergence adjustments do not work with RealVR mods, so DO NOT USE Ctrl + F5/F6
• Single Display users will need to set debug_enable to true for RealVR mods to work (already the default)
• It is recommended to set games to run in windowed mode to facilitate moving the 2D view to another display. However, some games will need to run in borderless mode to have the correct resolution
• These instructions are only for RealVR v17.0.0 or newer. For older RealVR mods, check here
• HFOV/VFOV optimizations don't work with VRto3D
• You may get improved performance with GPU Scheduling ON - you can change it here
• DLSS ghosting is now fixed in RealVR and the new DLSS Transformer Model looks good and works great. Use these steps to enable it for games

RealVR Installation

• Sign up for Luke Ross' Patreon
• Download the latest RealVR release
• If you previously installed RealVR to a game, it's a good idea to completely remove it by deleting RealRepo cudart64_110.dll dxgi.dll openvr_api.dll RealConfig.bat RealVR.ini RealVR64.log from the game's exe folder
• Extract the files next to your game's exe
• Run RealConfig.bat
  • Respond to any configuration questions as desired
• Run the game
• The RealVR menu can usually be pulled up in-game using the PAUSE key
  • Sometimes the menu won't be fully visible, so try to adjust the Normal HUD Size to 0.8
  • 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 and Space
  • Set the VR Renderer to OpenXR
  • Check render resolution (if available in the particular game mod) and ensure it isn't super high, as it will affect performance
  • Legacy AER render mode has the least amount of artifacts but is less smooth
  • 1/2 Rate render mode will feel smoother, but may result in blocky tearing artifacts when viewing fast moving objects

• If you get a huge black bar and the game appears to be rendering at the bottom of the screen, open the RealVR menu with PAUSE and then click Stop VR then wait a bit and then click Start VR again
• Exit the Game
• This should be automatic, but if you don't have normal camera control in-game
  • Open RealVR.ini and add this line under [RVR]
  • IgnorePosesFor3DDisplaySupport=1
