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.
Have fun watching Beardo Benjo playing [redacted to keep lawyers happy] and remember to smash all the like/subscribe/bell buttons on his videos, because VR needs people like him, and because he can make NPCs fly high in the sky (and try to shoot them with his RPG while they’re still burning) like no other!!!

this whole situation still perplexes me.
Gamers owning their games or any rights to them is actually increasingly in jeopardy :( It is not cool at all. We should be able to own and mod games we buy freely. Multiplayer/online of course is different because of competition and cheating. You should be able to do what you want with your personal copy of a single player game though.
Bro his is kinda misleating you have people pay 10 bucks for the VR system but when you buy then you are notified that its only limited to certain games? wth
If you are referring to the games that were taken down, read my reply to your other comment. If you mean that the mod only works with certain games, then that is pretty much how mods work in general.
...sooo... Horizon then ;) I know you're looking into it... dino fighting in the first game is still my favourite VR experience... just wanted to give you my full support and fingers crossed
That is the plan :) The second game is much better in my opinion. It is unfortunate that you don't get any really good mounts until the Sunwing late in the game. Maybe someone will increase mount speed on PC though :)
It's like... on the horizon. Total grandfather of jokes right there lol. T'will be awesome!
Horizon is comming ...
Yup, already got it downloaded so I can get ahead testing settings and so forth :) Plus I want to see it cranked to the max on a 4090! Looks like a really good quality port from the Digital Foundry review.
Wish you tried implementing the new versions of the mod to GTA V and RDR2 on github. You make so much you would think you could have one of the two be a side project.
With the DMCA, there will be no further updates as to not risk any further action and end up with GTA taken down from Github as well. Unfortunate but not worth the risk.
Running a fresh install of the game, extracted folder to the x64 folder, but when i try to run the bat file nothing happens, no errors, just doesn't run
Hmmm, try running as administrator. That is odd. Have you tried running any bat files before on your system?
Can I use on rockstar club version ?
You would have to look it up or probably find a way to roll back to a similar version of the Steam one. I would ask in the Flat2VR discord.
I'm still having an issue trying to get this to work with Cyberpunk 2077 GOG version. Looking through the RealVR logs I found 2 errors. Failed to apply "CP2077CreateDevice Patch" and Failed to to apply "CP2077Interact1 Patch". Any ideas what is causing this issue?
Can you please put a copy of your RealVR64.log file on pastebin and post the link here. I'll pass it on to Luke. He should be home from his honeymoon today and hopefully will be an easy fix. Thanks :)
Hello Everybody, i have just finished FarCry 4 and want to thank Luke for the VR immersion. It was ammazing. Today i put on my animal skin... just for feedback, The snipper rifle shake was to hard to control with my G2 (in flat mod it's more easy to use). Thanks to brandon too for it's help.
Yeah, it is just because you are so zoomed in in VR, that tiny head movements are more exaggerated. I don't think Luke will be able to separate just sniper scopes and make them not zoom in correctly. Thanks for the feedback and so glad you enjoyed the game :)
Has anyone encountered while revisiting ye olde modde, a kind of swimmingly double vision? It only happens with the menus and the start page. Weird issue I never came across before.
Not that I remember but I haven't played for a long time. Won't be any further progress or support for this title unfortunately :(
He convinced me to finally try it. And it's freaking awesome. Soooo much fun and mayhem in vr.
HA, yeah, that game is pretty ridiculous.
Yes! Bravo Beardo Benjo and Luke Ross!
I am so looking forward to Ghost of Tsushima after Horizon !! :)
Not gonna lie though, when I saw "ye olde virtual modde" I was CERTAIN that Luke had finally, at last, VR-modded Kingdom Come: Deliverance and I about shat my pants. .....by the way, PLEASE do that game!
It is a cryengine game I believe...could be an easy leap from the FarCry family of mods
Mick Manchester over on youtube has done a wonderful job of keeping this one going as well, along with the other one - the western that also has a number in the title that I won't mention - in case anyone is interested. The western doesn't even need a rollback; it just works! (in-game settings are tricky to access though) Fun Fact: The western in VR is my absolute favorite form of entertainment ever
Yeah, the western includes a ghosting fix as well :)
Has anyone tried this through Steam Link on Apple Vision Pro? Is that possible?
No clue, I doubt most users have a Vision Pro :) Looks like someone got SteamVR games working by porting ALVR with the Vision Pro, so maybe try that route.
It is genuinely impossible to understand the thinking behind the Cease & Desist on this. They do not have a VR offering that was undermined by the mod, they gained sales that are directly attributable to the mod, yet they blocked the mod!
I know right?? Utterly ridiculous! "Look I made your game many many times more fun" "SHUT IT DOWN NOW OR ELSE"
I look forward to using it!
It took a few hours to set it up properly but if you get it right (RTX 4090 and a Quest 3 recommended for decent fps figures ) GTAV in VR is the one true triple A game we all want. What could have been if Luke was allowed to maintain this legend of a mod.
I'm so excited to see this. Now I just need to get it working with my motion platform and I'll be in heaven.
This totally works did my on my setup yesterday I played for like 4 hours best luke mod I tried yet
Incredible how the publisher thinks these mods are bad. I would never have bought GTA5 without your mod. I don't play flatscreen games (I don't see the point). Thanks Luke for all that you do!!!!!
Same as you Stephen. I can't go back to flat since 2016. I was remembering when people were so mad Alyx was VR exclusive and were hoping for a flat mod.
