To all Devs and Modders - VR?

[White Male]

Is there any change that Arma3 could get full vr-support?

I know it will probably not work in all missions or on all servers, but maybe some dedicated servers could have it and people could use it in solo and coop missions.

If Arma3 had vr, then if would "detroy" most other vr games.

Here is a link to someone who tried to make something years back.

Did not know all modders were working on Reforger?
Or maybe you just answered without any thought, since you also called the best kind of gaming stupid. I guess it is easier to hate what you cannot afford to buy.

The gam engine would need to support VR, not just modding. What everyone else said is good however I also wanted to interject that you are going to need to run arma at a very high FPS to get a half decent experience. So no MP games. Cuz Arma 3 is so outdated.

True to a lot of what you are saying.

I too think it would be only solo/coop scenarios that would be able to run, but still it would be great for that imo.

Many games have been converted to VR with great succes (Half Life 2 etc) and hopefully it will come with the arma4 if it never makes it on arma3.

Bruuh I tend to agree, it won't be very many if any working on VR compatible mods but to have a VR Arma would be awesome and would pull me right back into the VR headset ♥♥♥♥.

I too have small to no hope, yet I at least have to ask before I give up completely.

Lol. OperatorDrewski got VR to work just fine with this game.

You can get VorpX and some other flatscreen VR implementations for the game and they work actually quite nicely when it comes to vehicle gameplay, but RV4 engine does not have the frames for comfortable infantry gameplay.

[AvidExpert]

Any Engine is VR compatible, the problem comes with how lucky you'll get with the UI etc.

That being said yeah, Arma 3 frames probably wouldn't be manageable for all.

(You can just play VR with mouse/keyboard or controller on any game)

Why Arma still has no VR support in 2023 is one of life's greatest mysteries

[Ady-Judge]

Is there any news on a Virtual reality support date yet ?

On Arma 3 &/or reforger ???

Arma3 has sat redundant on pc since getting a VR headset
( 300hrs prior )

I’ve recently tried it with VorpX & after tinkering it works fine & is well suited to VR , but there is no hand tracking support -to hold weapons / throw grenades etc , pointer me u system/virtual tablet would be great for all the commands aider than keyboard

90fps no problem 10900k 3080 quest2

I can't understand why anyone would think BI would update VR support for a 10 year old game. I mean, VR users represent well under 1% of Arma players.

Good point , understandable too as I suddenly became a non Arma user when I first tried VR & purchased my 1st headset so no VR users that use Arma makes sense, VR compatibility would open up a whole new user base

Static 2d separate screens make the experience truly naff when comparing

A VR update for compatibility even if not a full overhaul for VR (as other devs have done for certain titles ) would be wise

Arma3 is very well suited to VR

Vr compatibility in arma4 is a no brainer
