VR and Non-VR players playing together

[ToastSmack]

I cant even tell you how excited I am to experiance The Forest in VR. That being said, I have always played this game with a good group of buddies. Many of these buddies do not have a VR headset. That being said, my only suggestion would be allowing both VR and Non-VR players to play together. Articulating a VR player acutally moving around as a full body character can be difficult, but I really hope that this is something planned down the road.

All things considered, I couldn't be happier with this VR mode. Cant wait to see what gets added to it!

This needs to be a thing. Was gonna post this myself but found someone already did. Payday 2 was fantastic playing with friends even though they didn't have VR, and both sides had advatages and dis-advatages.


I hope to see once multiplayer is implemented that we can play with non-VR users!

If this is in it should be toggleable if servers allow VR players, as people in VR have a huge melee combat advantage that is game-ruiningly easy, how they can swing even the slowest, hard-hitting weapons as fast as a twig.

you can already play VR in co-op with non-VR players. they have to invite the VR player to their game. its been working since the update first came out.

advantages - ya we can swing fast and it doesnt appear like we are doing anything to a non-VR player.

disadvantages - we cant block, persoanlly I dont see this as an issue but my friends do. Biggest disadvantage IMO is we have no HUD. we cant see where things are in the distance, your home or other players. this is another thing I personally love but as far as playing with non-VR players Id put it as disadvantage

I had no idea you could already play MP. I thought multiplayer was disabled for VR players. Ill have to give it a shot. My only recomendation then is to give VR players an IK rig so you can actually see the movements of the VR player. I have tried Payday 2 VR, and one of my biggest gripes is not being able to see other VR players moving around like me. Or even just knowing if I was playing with VR players or non VR players.

As far as disabling VR for some servers goes, I can agree with that one. Personally I have never played the forest for PVP, and I likelly never will. It has always been a coop experiance with me and my group of friends. That being said, people obviously play differently. I do hope they add blocking to VR. Hopefully it will balance out the rapid swinging stuff. I also think having that IK rig to show a VR players movement will also help a non VR player counter that kind of rapid swinging in PVP.

ya all you have to do is have the non-VR player host a peer-peer game. does not work in dedicated servers for some reason. but non-VR sends invite to VR player and boom, you all are in same game. I believe the VR player needs to be in the game lobby in VR before the invite gets sent out also.
