How to play in VR wit Oculus Quest 2?

[mercedes600sl2003]

Hi there,

Is it possible to play on Vr this game with Oculus Quest 2 ?
If is working then I need a game pad? with the Quest controllers I dont think is possible.

Do I need to also install a mod?

Thanks in advance

You play it like any other PC VR game, linked to your PC if you have good enough specs.
You can play it with a gamepad or mouse/kb, motion controls don't work, just head tracking.

There is some jank, so I highly suggest two mods off the Nexus, VR Enhancements and VR Y Axis Unlock, and you'll need the usual mod for using any mods with Subnautica.

VR Enhancements fixes a ton of issues with perspective and usage of stuff, and Y axis allows you to hit a button to realign the current up/down to match the way you are currently looking. This means you don't have to spend tons of time craning your neck up/down, and you can even play laying down (I'm disable and can't spend long periods upright, so this was a must have for me if I wanted to play for longer than 15 minutes at a time)

It is possible, but the Quest controllers do NOT work, you still need to use a controller or mouse and keyboard. VR, is not worth it for this game, in my opinion, not being able to use your hands breaks any immersion to be added with VR

There's no motion controller support, period.

Even without motion control support, Subnautica is absolutely fantastic in VR. Get VR Enhancement Mod to fix some of the issues.

It's a game like "vr support" so basically it should work even on cardbboard. For many such games you need an xbox pad.
Despite the fact that in the game you do not have vr hands, the game is very pleasant and the immersion is high.
I went through the game without any mods. I do not know if they help or harm. I didn't have many problems that others complained about. Minor bugs I encountered did not spoil the game.

I fail to see how strapping an HMD to my head and not being able to see my controls makes the game better, but alright. I doubt the mod can fix that, since the VR is just a tacked on gimmick in Subnauticas case

I thought that you never played in vr, but I see that you played a little in steam vr and in blade. Therefore, your opinion is terribly strange to me. For me, there is no return to the flat version of Subnaitica. Of course, a version with hands vr would be better. But what we have today is already amazing.

It's not really fair to compare games made FOR VR to Subnautica VR. VR in Subnautica feels like it was more of a hasty afterthought. I expected something akin to The Forest, which handled putting VR in excellently. Instead of just changing the display, it added motion controls, physical crouching (Toggleable for people who cannot move), etc. It utilized all of the hardware available. Same with Phasmophobia. Subnautica felt meh when I tried it out, when all it does is just make your head control the camera, while my two hands are unused, leaving a layer of immersion just absent. If you enjoy it, that's awesome, keep playing it, but it really isn't for me when other VR games are better for VR. Subnautica is still one of the best games I've ever played, but the VR was lacking.

Who the heck would ever need to look at their controls? Unless you've only been playing video games for all of 5 minutes there is simply no reason to ever look at your controls.

Fantastic, we solved that huge issue. Except for the small fact I wasn't telling you to use VR enhancement, I was telling OP.

It's because most full VR games aren't real games, they're either relying on gimmicks to be interesting or they're straight up indie garbage.

A full, real game with limited VR support is better than 99% of the "VR Games" garbage out there.
