VR Mod Mothervr
I have tried everything to get this to work on the oculas 3 with steamvr but it just will not load the game and hangs with the white loading circle. I can hear the music but im just getting a blank screen.
I have the mother of mods working with windows 11 and loads up fine with the mother of mod options available, but as soon as i load the game its just hangs on the white loading circle.
Spent hours on the net but i have not found a solution to this problem yet.
Any pointers people please.

Hi. The game in VR was working fine for me on my old system on Windows 10, but since upgrading my PC and running Windows 11, I couldn't even get the game to load. So I searched the web, and this is what solved it for me as the game is running great again in VR. I'm using my Quest 2 with VD and SteamVR. Here's the solution and I hope it works for you as well. You'll only have to use the cmd prompt once to create the link in your PC.

I played the full game last week in VR (Win10 / Quest 3 / Oculus Link) and I had to create the symlink like trailrunner's said.
After that, no issue with the game, you can play it seated or standing with a regular controller or a Quest controller (a few puzzles / interactions require a regular one).

I have already done the symlink and the game launches ok and i have the mothervr options in the settings so everything working with windows 11 with regards to that issue, however when i start a game it just hangs on the white loading circle with a blank screen but i do get sound.

That is a strange one. Have you tried running the game through Air Link by chance and using the Oculus runtime in the MotherVR mod? The only other thing I can think of is a GPU driver issue with AI and windows 11. I run a slightly older driver with my RTX 3060 as the new drivers have given me issues in other games. It's almost like trial and error when it comes to issues like these, unfortunately.

When I tried the mod, the game keeps minimizing on my desktop, and then I have to take off the VR helmet and maximize it again for the game to keep playing. also, not long after I woke up in the game the screen went black except for the menus.
Tried in oculas runtime and i get the failed to initialize error and the game start in non vr mod. Ive got around 10 games working in steam VR now but this one just loads black screen

Managed to get it working. I lowered all the graphic settings including the screen resolution which was set to my monitor 3440 x 1440 and that got it working. Ive put everything back on ultra with mothervr rendering set to 1 and it works ok, although my RTX 4070 not enough for this game in VR i dont think. Im very disappointed in the rendering only being able to be set at 1, just looks crap in my opinion.

Has anyone had issues with the crafting menu or the radial menu being unreadable in game?

Not a huge fix, but I was able to improve things a little by using VRtoolkit Reshade with the VR mod. Just install and rename the Reshad32.dll to d3d11.dll and you can enable CAS sharpening and FXAA (though the benfits of FXAA is not much).

Did not take care of the aliasing that much but the CAS did help make a clearer image.
