Video tutorial: how to install the mod and optimize Avatar for VR

Hi, Which key or key combination opens the VR mod menu or overlay in AFOP?

I know this is really long ago, but perhaps Brandon is strill looking. I have the issue that with the latest public patch, the intro and the menu render prefectly in VR, but once I go int he game I only see a square with the game and like double vision - not VR. I have a 32:9 1440p monitor and canÄt access all of the overlay, as my mouse seems to be constraint by the portion my monitor can display and it only shows 2/3rd of the real overlay :( And ideas?

Hi Brandon. I have this game on ubisoft launcher but it doesn't start in the headset (og pimax crystal). Any ideas why? Thanks in advance...

i need some help when i look to the left or the right the video seems to be sligthy dealyed giveing my black bars how do i fix it

just got the game and did all thing in Brandon video. game not launching in VR

REAL_mod_by_LukeRoss_v18_0_1.zip

Hi Luke, I just downloaded the latest v16.0.1 build for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The ZIP I got only includes openvr_api.dll, cudart64_110.dll, RealConfig.bat, and RealRepo — but there’s no d3d11.dll. Without that file the game only launches flat. Could you please confirm if d3d11.dll should be included in this build or if it’s generated differently now? Thanks a lot for your amazing work!

Any tips on uninstalling? My game keeps crashing, I'd rather go back to flat. I uninstalled from steam and re-downloaded, but that didn't work...

Does anyone have an issue with "double crosshair in Avatar? I am using latest REAL v22.

Hello, new subscriber, I've installed the mod for Cyberpunk 2077 and have spent several hours tweaking things trying to find the sweet spot. The problem I'm having is that no matter what setting I change, everything is very pixelated and there's excessive ghosting beyond what's typical. It's less noticeable with 1/2 over 1/3 but still very much there. I've adjusted every resolution setting, ever render option, and kept graphic settings on Low in game for the sake of finding the setting that will fix my clarity. I'm using an older CPU which may be my issue (Intel Core i7-9700K) but using a 5070 TI which should be able to handle the graphic load. Pairing this with a Quest 2 using USB link cable. I'm looking for additional settings I should try in the Oculus Link settings (currently using 72hz) My FPS in game doesn't seem to drop below 45-50 except for a bit of stuttering when turning fast. I'm currently reinstalling the game and the mod to see if there's some odd configuration I had setup without knowing

Hello, I downloaded everything smoothly but now its just crashing my game, are there any directs to uninstall the mod? I'm getting worried I've caused some serious damage here. Thank you.

I went through this guide and still having trouble .. what did I miss! My Vive Pro on 5090 through Steam VR is locked at 40fps in this mod. Vsync on, off, no matter, all 40FPS. Frame rate limit on, off, no matter, all 40fps. Setting the VR resolution through overlay, anywhere between 1024px and 2800px are all 40fps. Changing video settings with DLSS Performance through Quality, 40fps. Setting graphics quality between Low and Ultra, 40fps. Legacy AER? Half refresh? Third refresh? Mono? All 40fps. When using a mid setting of "High", FpsVR shows my GPU usage at around 40%, CPU at around 30%. Still only 40fps. Setting lowest possible settings, GPU goes as low as 30%, still only 40fps. Setting Unobtanium and DLAA, I can get the FPS to drop to around 30fps. But even then, both CPU and GPU usage are around 50-60%. Everything looks gorgeous and perfect, but 40fps is too low to be playable. In Star Wars Outlaws, same system gets around ~80fps at max settings. What am I missing in the setup of this game!?

Hi! I just downloaded the mod to use for AFOP for the first time. I unblocked the folder and put the files in the executable’s folder then ran the config file like in the video, but when I connect my headset and launch the game it just stays in the questlink environment and only plays the sound through the headset. I'm using a Quest 2 and I have AFOP on Ubisoft. I tried using WMR like in another comment but it's deprecated in my windows version.

Help! Avatar now only starts in 2D (G2 Steam version) I first suspected a runtime error because I played DCS after a long break and that's the reason why I use Open Compostit, OpenXR + Toolkit. I normaly only have to deactivate the toolkit for any other REAL game and change the API as needed. CP2077 for example runs with both. But in genreral i prefer OXR if possible because of better performance. Avatar was always a bit tricky to start in VR (in contrast to CP e.g.) I suspected the Ubisoft loading stuff? I also can´t remember the used API for AFOP but i remember sometimes a bit WIN+Y, Alt+Tab... WMR stuff... to get it on my G2. Steam always started automatically, but not SteamVR itself, this had to be off anyway, but then it worked like a charm! Now nothing works anymore. I've tried it >20 times swiching the 2 runtimes via "OpenComposit runtime switcher" and checked in SteamVR/Settings/OpenXR. Either SteamVR or WMR(G2) nothing kicks VR in. I don't know what to do anymore. New 17.0.. RealConfig.bat.. Keep/Delete... only 2D (sound goes to HMD)! My G2 remains trapped in the WMR house or SteamVR house (although it didn't start from the SteamVR environment before either (see above).

Hi, I recently built a PC specifically to play Avatar. My setup is: GPU: 4090 CPU: 9800X3D RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 Quest 3 link cable The game looks amazing in VR, but no matter what I do, even if the frame rate is high, for some reason, whenever I look around using the right stick on my game controller, it is incredibly bad, like if the frame rate were 10 FPS. When I'm running or looking around with the headset, everything is fine; it's only when I use the right stick to look around that everything looks distorted and extremely bad, even though the FPS is high. I've noticed I always have high latency (140 to 100 ms minimum). Is this normal with this mod?

Just became member how do I get mods

Anyone got any advice on reducing stuttering for Avatar? I seem to be getting bad stuttering on ppd over 20 for this game, even if I lower all the graphics settings it seems to kick in on anything above that. It happens a little bit at 20 but above it’s constant. I have an rtx4080 but a 4 year old i7 processor so wondering if it’s a CPU bottleneck. Maybe there are some CPU intensive things I could reduce to alleviate it and get the resolution up? Cyberpunk I have at 26 ppd and it runs buttery smooth with most settings on high without ray tracing. Feels like I should be able to get more ppd on this game! Also, I’m running them at 90hz at 1/3 but get similar performance at 72hz 1/2.

Sorry if this has been covered: in the skill unlock screen, it seems that some of the late skills to unlock (at the farther ends of some branches) are outside the rectangular area/screen boundaries. Is there a workaround?

@Brandon I posted a few times about the hud overlay issue I was having with my Pimax Crystal. After not finding anyone with the same issue on any forum and trying quite a bit of troubleshooting/software reinstallations, I ended up totally reformatting and reinstalling Windows clean. Every works perfectly now and the mod is *incredible*. Two pieces of feedback: 1) The head origin in some cutscenes is wrong -- for example the first car ride with Deshawn your head is really low and forwards like you're a turtle :D, 2) I wish there was a way to edit how close you get to monitors when reading them -- I'm assuming that's to help people with low resolution VR headsets, but I have to lean back hard in my chair every time I login to a computer in the game.

Hi, do you recommend virtual desktop sharpening ? thank you :)

Can anyone check this and reply>? I just realized the slider for "reduced shaking" also significantly affects how quickly "black bars" disappear? This is SO significant for me that I'm going back and trying it on multiple games. I had previously assumed the latency was the only factor determining how noticeable the black bars were. It might be annoying to have a shaky UI - but the in-game performance is much improved by moving it to zero. I assume this averages/smoothes head tracking, which is great for stabilizing the UI elements, but the unrendered areas recover much slower as a result too>? I mean this was huge for me and I don't know how many posts I've read complaining of black bars, only to assume there was nothing to be done other than reduce latency. To be clear it doesn't seem to affect the *degree* to which the bars encroach, but the speed at which they are "replaced/rendered". This is huge for me!

Ghost of Tsushima is right up there with Cyberpunk - in some ways it's better. It performs well and is extremely fun. Much more so than Avatar. The visuals are beautiful and the story is captivating. Movement is a smooth. I can really appreciate the extra lengths Luke must have went to make it work despite the UI/HUD challenges. It's really impressive!

Will the update to DLSS (transformer model) be OK with Luke's new fix? I mean: is DLSSS agnostic of the method of DLSS?

aprés plusieures reglages AVATAR tourne a 70 fps et c'est magnifique je n'aurait jamias achete ce jeux est pourtant en vr il est incroyable merci pour ce beau cadeaux

A form of Multi Frame Gen 4x (but by extrapolation) is actually possible on any MQ3+Nvidia Card with Virtual Desktop: Enable SSW (always mode, not auto) and use AER1/2 mode. Important though: *Use 120hz mode*. This is important to keep latency (and therefore black bars) down. Then adjust your res slider/setting to get 60FPS at all times to ensure you feed both AER and SSW the proper frames. If you can't get 60FPS solidly, don't use this method. https://youtu.be/YFyJ5RpQ8-g Try it and let me know if it works for you as it does me.

Why doesn't Frame Gen work with mono mode at least? I mean a frames a frame right? Well at least we have AER!

Hi Luke! Thank you very much as always for letting us enjoy great titles in VR. I just wanted to make a suggestion, it would be a great joy for us to be able to enjoy older games in VR like Batman Arkham Knight, the latest Tomb Raider saga, Assassins Creed Unity or Alan Wake. Thank you very much for your great work and of course, thank you very much Brandon!

What kind of latency do you get Brandon?

Hi, I noticed that on Horizon Forbidden west the visual is correctly zooming when aiming, but this is not happening on Horizon Zero Dawn...is it normal?

If you buy the patreon for one month and then quit it will you still recive the benefits? If an update comes out that breaks the mod do i have to just pay 10 bucks again?

My last test! https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxh-kl5TuOeoWPr3zUtACWOSfgJJg_Am8r?si=7lbCNsdkmX-OMrZw

Hello everyone, I have smooth gameplay but very choppy recording with Oculus Stray tools, can anyone help me with the problem and for the discussion of increasing the priority? 🙏🙏🙏

Interesting that between traditional Santa and newage VR Santa... one of them is actually REAL.

My turning goes all weird and laggy when i turn in game, but not when i turn in real life in cyberpunk

good idea, will check the video in detail

I cant get this vr mod to work for cyberpunk. I get an error about the directory address. However i have installed it in the right place. Inside the games directory, inside the bon /x64 folder right next to the games exe file. I start it up and get the error message. Any ideas whats wrong?

Hi Brandon, I've spent hours and hours playing with settings to optimize Ghost of Tsushima since it ran so poorly at first. What finally did it for me was setting rendering mode to "Legacy AER". Its so much better! The game runs 2x fps and is so much easier on the eyes. Why is it that legacy is so much better for me? Did I do something wrong? I'm running Valve Index, Steam OpenXR, DLSS 3 enabled on Quality, Framegen off, with a 4070 Ti.

Never has being blue felt so good! :) Thanks Brando top job scholar! The sheer scale of this game and immersion is a thing of beauty to behold in VR.

Just to double check, but the mod should work fine with the game's two DLCs, right?

VR Santa needs to get his VR s.... reindeer together... :D

I have a technical question concerning the new NVidia 50 cards. When I compare a 5080 with a 4080 Super the raw power is not much higher. The higher performance is only gained by multi frame gen. Am I right that Frame Gen is not supported by Lukes Mods? So an upgrade to a 5080 wouldn't give me more performance? Is it possible that the multi frame gen is supported in later versions of the mod or is it unlikely?

I followed the settings for Avatar but I'm on a Pimax Crystal Light and it's not coming through to the headset at all. It ran the realconfig.bat file without an issue, I also ticked the unblock setting on the .zip folder. On the TV the resolution goes crazy, lots of colours and massively pixelated ones at that. Any ideas what I can try to fix?

DEAD SPACE PLsssssssssss !!

I know there is no support for it, but would anyone be able to answer if it’s worth the time of trying to get the LCPP mod working with the VR mod for gta5 or is it impossible/waste of time?

Hey, Brandon. Great job, thank you! Would you mind sharing your settings in the mod itself? I’m curious because I have similar PC specs (though I understand it might not work the same for everyone). I’d like to compare them fully with my current settings to understand the differences.

Playing Ghosts of Tsushima. At beginning where you sneak through the village. There is some kind of tinted window over most of my view with tiny unreadable text appearing and disappearing at the top. I can't figure out how to remove this.

Hi, can you please recommend a pc to buy that can optimally run cyberpunk mod? Please include specs, thanks so much

VR Santa is so much nicer than regular Santa :)

Great job Brandon! Will try a few things tonight, like turning off the clouds (they may matter more visually when flying around rather than when being on the ground, not sure)

Yeah! Thanks Brandon still awesome! And can’t wait for the surprise Luke!!!
