Any news on VR Support ?

[Michelangelo]

Hi @Zen Studios !!!

I love to see the game released on Steam !!

However I cannot go back from VR Awesomeness is the only way to have a true 1:1 real life-size scale and true 3D stereoscopic to play pinball with perfect freedom to view the tables without any FIXED CAMERA limitations of traditional Flat-screen 2D gameplay.

So, please... do you have any news of VR support coming???

Unreal Engine supports VR natively !!

So see, it CAN be done! Zen just needs to get on the ball. So NO excuses, get that VR plugin for Pinball FX out this year sometime!

VPX is fantastic and some of the VR rooms are beautifully made. A year ago or so an installer for it was released, but before that it was a pain to setup correctly. Took me several evenings and forum digging to get everything working properly :)

But once you experienced pinball in VR - there is no going back to flat mode.

Yeah i got sick of waiting for Zen Studios to add VR support myself, i realized VPX isn't hard to set up at all. Downloaded over 130 real world tables running flawlessly with Quest 3. VPUniverse has some awesome table creators with a great community.

Sounds like VR support could be added in 2024 according to the latest Blahcade interview with Mel Kirk (fingers crossed). To me that would be a real step change that's long overdue. Time to get saving for a headset...

Would you mind sharing any links or videos to any how to's or tutorials that you found useful? I remember looking into this as an option and can't remember the specifics just that something had me at a stopping point but I'm ready to attempt again.

I'd start here and get vpx working in standard mode. Then move on to VR once you get the process down.

I fear it'll be another standalone product. Likely they'll target the meta quest again, and we end up with a collection of tables visually represented on the PC by the pulling power of either the quest 2 or 3. Previously Mel has said that separate licensing agreements need to be worked over for VR, which (if true) leans more to their previous VR releases, and makes it difficult to imagine a solution being broad hand across the entirety of FX given the diversity of the titles.

I apologise for my lack of faith.

Certainly one worst-case scenario, but I can imagine VR in 2024 meaning different things. This is all speculative territory, so nothing is final until Zen announces something.

VR standalone might make sense at first, since we already have Star Wars VR and Mel's statements about this in the past. SWVR uses Unreal Engine, much like Pinball FX. Considering the amount of licenses involved here, a standalone WMS VR app might make the most sense here.

Pinball FX2 VR is the only title where there are multiple licenses involved, those being (OG) Telltale and Universal.

The best case scenario is direct VR compatibility to Pinball FX and Pinball M -- a separate launch option like Tetris Effect. With the licenses involved there plus the amount of content (tables + Play Corner), M might have the most impact in getting VR first.

About your lack of faith, i feel you, but imho they won't make this mistake again.
The SWVR was just a distaster imho... they wasted so many opportunities with this title.

VR pinball is incredible! Only second to the real thing. Most of my family bought Meta Quest 3 for Christmas. This would be a great time to release a VR version. Nothing fancy, just a VR DLC for the already existing FX Pinball product. Like Zaccharia did. Very simple solution.

I would also love to see VR support added. Please consider!

The first thing you want to do before trying VPX VR is to make sure the main VPX is working fine with no issues. So get it configured, up and running on your machine first before even attempting the VR tables. Popper Baller installer makes it pretty easy these days, plus it is way less complex if you're doing it on only one screen, less to keep track of and all that.

Saying that though, VPX really shines and is more fun with 2 or more screens if you can do it.

UEVR is out! Works both on Pinball FX and Pinball M

[yermin5000]

will using uevr mod get you banned from steam or anything like that?

Banning a user from Steam for enabling VR (which Zen should have done anyways) would be the ultimate d!ck move.
