VR mod mothervr 0.8.1

[Tib]

ok I have seen some gameplay of this being played in vr and I just picked it up on sale to do exactly that.

some youtube tutorials say only the epic games version of this game will work with the mod, other videos disagree.

I have installed the mod in the game directory as per instructions but I don't get the in game mothervr option within the options menu

I may play it flatscreen or I might refund it if I cant get it to work IDK. I would really love to get it working in vr on the steam version, is it possible, has anyone here done it? or can anyone give me any helpful advice to try and get it working.

IDK I would really appreciate and helpful advice

Interesting.
I have both versions (Epic and Steam).
Only the Steam version has the VR option working, last time I checked.

I'll check to see what is happening now.

ok. that was harder than I thought. Steam corrupted the VR mod somehow semi-recently.
Here is the fix:
Go to Steam\SteamApps\common move (cut & paste) the Alien Isolation folder to somewhere outside of Steam.
I went with D:\Games as that's the same drive I have Steam on.
Rename the Alien Isolation folder to AlienIsolation.
Delete the Steam\SteamApps\common\Alien Isolation folder if it still exists
Open a command prompt and enter mklink /d "Path To Steam Alien Isolation Folder" "Path To New Location"
e.g. mklink /d "D:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Alien Isolation" "D:\Games\AlienIsolation"
This creates a symbolic link between the 2 directories. From Steam's point of view, the game is still installed in Steam\SteamApps\common\Alien Isolation because Steam requires it to be at that path to launch the game. DRM or something...

I had to run CMD in administrator mode to get the command to take.

Once that was done, you can play the game normally and under OPTIONS, you can setup VR at your discretion.

Good luck!

it seams no matter what I do the command prompt wont work, it just keeps coming up with "the system cannot find the path specified"

Ok, so where is your old location and where is your new location?
I would also be in the same drive where you plan to put the new folder.
Everything I did was on the same drive so I was ok but it might be causing the complication.
