VR Support

[{DEV}SoggyCow✅]

Dev told me on a livestream there are no plans. Would be cool though for discussion. I own a Quest 2, anybody else want this? I'd pay $30 for the upgrade.

The argument is, theres not enough people using VR, but if you check the steam charts, the amount of VR users is skyrocketing because of affordability a being compact now.

[Zukabazuka]

Yes, there are people who use VR but they got like 2% of the users who bought their first game and tried it. The cost was not worth it for them.

Oh right, this reminded me that i do have a Quest, so i went to see if anything's new. Apparently the only real VR game is still Half-Life Alyx, and Oculus has gone full Facebook.

And away i go!

But seriously, they're quite adamant on the no of things.
The official response and the drama leading up to it can be found in this thread:

VR working with the UE Injector :)

FYI this works with the upcoming universal unreal VR injector pretty well. Only thing that is a bit jank are the ship/objective/popups. Cockpit mode looks awesome in VR though.

This looks fantastic !!
I would be interested to know what the developers of the game think of this ?
Fixing these minor issues so it works perfectly with the injector would be a nice gesture.

Yeah the only minor issues are the HUD which honestly the modding community could probably work on without too much fuss. The few issues with the ice glass effects on the inside were also incredibly minor. Otherwise it feels pretty much native already.

I played the 1st game in VR with a joystick and it was really great. I was going to pass on 2 because I can't really do sims in pancake mode any more. I really hope UE Injector works.

+Bump so the devs might see this,

[fortrau]

I really hope they take a look at this and throw people a bone.

But they took a long time to fix the hud elements being at the wrong depth during ES1 VR development. I remember asking for them to just add some basic dots/pips temporarily with no luck.

And I read the post by Michael Schade and it doesnt seem like he would let them work on it.

As an original ES1 backer, and VR user. That post was one of the most disappointing attitudes from a developer towards a player base I have ever read.

Even though it wasn't aimed at me as I am always polite, it felt really personal and even nasty.

VR is not a viable gaming space anymore. They have already flat out said no multiple times.

Ok, and wtf is UE injector? Where can I download it?

Currently not publicly available, but on release will be free and open source. It is a universal unreal engine VR injector that turns on VR native rendering at an engine level. Should work from most UE4 and UE5 games from 2016 onwards. My channel has some test footage of lots of games and the latest updates can be found on the flat2VR twitter or discord.
