VR mode sucks

[White Male]

Why even make a great game like this in VR if you leave out essentiel part of a vr game.

At least make the movement good (smooth turning) and then I can live with not pulling my gadgets from the vest or reloading like irl - even though every other fps vr shooter has this.

I know this is ported and not made to play in vr, but still..

Smooth turning is still some of the first things you need in a vr game - we are not all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who get sick when we have proper free movement.

wdym with "smooth turning"?

Do you mean the fact, that you can only move around by teleporting?

[White Male]

actually they now have locomotion, so you do not need to teleport.

Smooth turning is, when turning is smooth :) right now you can only turn around in 45 degrees or 90 degrees turn - and this is done by pushing a button on either the left or right controller.

They just need to make it like when you move around in ANY OTHER vr game

i'll add some context - some vr players cant physically turn around all the time, either due to limited available space or because of the cable - so they use artificial turning to turn around in game without moving in reality
most games have snap turn which moves you a set amount of degrees in one direction, and better games also include smooth turn which smoothly rotates you in a direction instead of snapping

A lot of free indie vr games have smooth turning.
It is not just "better" games and even if it was, then Payday 2 should be in that category - even in vr.

But thank you for explaining smooth turning a bit better :) as a vr-player you sometimes forget that people not neccesarily knows about everything you are saying

To help out your initial problem - If you're willing to use mods to fix up your experience a bit, you can use the VR improvements mod which includes a smooth turn option such as here
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2659524061
The mod also adds a variety of other good options that turn payday 2 VR from a mediocre port to very fun with a bit of jank
This is the correct link I think https://gitlab.com/znixian/payday2-vr-improvements

2 of my friends cannot make it work and to be honest it is frustrating that it does not just have these settings already - so we have moved on..

Hopefully the Devs will someday add what even modders could do.

plenty of games that work without mods, so thankfully we wont have to

yes, but more than 50% of payday 2 players play with mods even with the PC version (keyboard, mouse) because they greatly improve the game (custom heists, Press2Hold, reconnect to server, custom huds, etc).

Also, if you don't like the game the way it is and don't want to use mods to improve your experience, there are plenty of other VR games

That is litterally what I wrote in the last text - We are moving on to games that dont need modding to work in VR.

VR for this game was made pretty early into VR adoption. Like maybe a year after the Vive and CV1 came out.

Weapons reloading by only bringing the magazine up to the gun was probably done because there's far too many weapons to create ways to have more iteractivity with guns. Also it will always be on that timer for balance reasons, since it's supposed to reflect the same gameplay as the flatscreen version where some guns are balanced around reloading slower or faster than another.

Smooth turning is one of those things I wish they'd add in. And they have touched up VR a little bit like the graphical and crash fixes they did, so maybe one day we'll get smooth turning.

Everything else will stay as is most likely.

Im okay with the reloading mechanics, its just not as fun, but it works.

The lack of smooth turning is a game changer and I dont even think it is hard to make, many VR games just start out with "snap turn" because some people get sick when being able to turn on the stick in VR.

I know that the Devs are good and listens to people - hence I dont see why it has not been added since modders have apparently already made the work for them.
