Is RE7 VR capable?

[DriftwoodPoe]

When I look up VR titles in the steam store, RE7 ALWAYS comes up. I cannot find out if it is in the description. If it is, do I launch it as normal with my Quest 2?

it doesn't have official vr support, people put vr in tags cause you can use a third party mod for it

games with actual vr support always have in the product description/features

It works great in VR with Praydog's VR mod. He also has them for 2,3,4 and 8 as well.

It isn't available in the Steam store, it's available as a *free download. All you need is the VR mod which you can get from https://github.com/praydog/REFramework-nightly/releases. You'll probably want to set Steam to use open XR instead of your Oculus software as it will give you a big performance boost.

If you are running VR mod of a game on say Meta Quest, performance will be roughly equal to a normal 2d screen one in 4k resolution? Im considering buying Meta Quest 2, so im trying to calculate what settings i can run it at.

3k hour vr general user here, owns q2 q3 pico4. it is largely to do with your PC. i would say a 3070 is minimum requirement. and you are correct, i usually run my vr at 2500x2500x2 res, so it is a bit more than 4k in total. for quest 2, you can get away with 2000x2000x2, but accounted for barrel distortion.

I was wondering if anybody might be able to help me tweak the settings a little more. I downloaded and installed the mod, and have the following issues. The RE7_TBD49 mod, the game doesn't launch. The RE7 mod does, but the graphics look all pixelated and wrong. I did change some settings and got the graphics to look ALMOST, but not quite like I remember how it looked on PSVR years ago. But, everything is extremely choppy now. It's sort of playable, moving at normal speed, but the parts where Mia attacks are very disorientating because of the way it jumps around. Here is what I'm working with:
Oculus Quest 3, Ryzen 5 3600, EVGA GEFORCE RTX 3060XC, 16 GB Ram. I am content to leave the graphics where I have them, but I need to make it perform just a little more smooth. Any recommended settings I've overlooked?

Here's the answer: the direct x 12 mod looks much sharper and is better defined than the direct x 11 mod. You can tweak the graphics through the Steam VR settings, you just have to be careful as to how high you set it as it can totally kill your performance. I've got the Steam VR settings to just below default settings. For my card specs that's the best balance I've been able to get between good performance and great graphics. I'm still experimenting to get the perfect balance between sharp graphics and good performance. Obviously your video card specs will affect this.

It doesn't have to have the best graphics, but the objects at least need to look solid. Like initially, the leaves and the car looked like there was a mesh over them.

Ok, the DX12 actually made it all worse. Like really bad. I almost couldn't even exit out of the game the choppiness and frames were so bad. But then, I removed the DX altogether, and that improved things some, with the settings I've already tweaked. Not fully smooth, but better than before. I was able to defeat Jack in the garage at this point. I also was not able to mess with any graphical settings for this title from Steam VR because it never shows up in the VR games, which makes sense, since it's not a VR title, technically. But there should be some way to add it. Anyway, your suggestion for DX12 was actually helpful in the opposite way, so thanks. I'll keep trying different settings to see if I can improve things more.

I don't know what kind of a problem your having but this game needs Steam VR to run! No it doesn't show up in your VR games list but if you've enabled the RE Framework patch Steam VR should start automatically. It's better to start Steam VR from your Steam library first and then launch the game. That way there is less chance of your game crashing. I also recommend using the open XR api rather than the open VR api since it tends to be unstable. You can't have both in the game folder, you must delete one to use the other. When Steam Vr launches you'll see the little window showing VR is enabled. You left click on that & that is where you set your *video settings. This is what determines how good or bad your game runs. This is where your problem lies not in direct X 12. These settings should be changed before you launch the game not during as it will cause instability & may crash your game.

Thanks. I'll try that.

are you using the upscaler mod? that mod is alot better and gets rid of the aliasing and somehow makes the game look like its in HDR.
