Outer Wilds VR Mod (NomaiVR)

[Raicuparta]

I see some people asked about VR here already, and I made a VR mod, so...

You can download / install mods using the mod manager: Outer Wilds Mods[outerwildsmods.com]

Important, read the instructions for NomaiVR[outerwildsmods.com]

The mod is still a work in progress, a lot can be done already (you can pretty much finish the whole game without too many issues if you're lucky). You can check some of the current bugs and missing features in the NomaiVR issues page[github.com].

I've used this mod with both the Steam and Epic versions and I could not tell a difference. Since it launches via the mod manager and SteamVR has to be off before starting it anyways, I can't imagine the version matters as long as the mod manager knows where to look.

Not everyone has been so lucky. Steam has been causing some issues. The thing with closing SteamVR before starting the game is only needed for the Steam version, for instance. The lack of DRM also means you don't need to run the Epic launcher in that version.

Ah thanks for the info, I was unaware. I must not being paying attention as well as I should but I'll bust out the Epic version if anything weird happens on the Steam side. Good to know about the SteamVR not needing to be inactive with Epic version too.

As much as it hurts me to say it, Epic Store version actually works better for this. Steam's DRM and nagging make it a bit more annoying to deal with, and you're more likely to face problems.

Whilst that is painful to hear in a weird way, it's 35% off on Epic right now and many people probably have unused Epic coupons which I just realised I do :D

Actually I'm not sure if Epic just recently changed the rules or if I just didn't check properly (I didn't buy yet) but in the UK I see that the £10 coupon can only be used for purchases of £13.99 or more, and Outer Wilds is at £12.99 so no go for me. I may still buy anyway, but £13 instead of £3 requires a bit more confidence/maturity in the VR implementation so I'll probably wait since I have no desire to touch the pancake version.

Interesting. It seems that they have given each of us 10 units of our own currency to spend. As your 10 is worth more than my 10, seems they've offset the prices to compensate. Still seems stupid they would undercut sales because of 1 pound. Weird. Either way sorry m8. Maybe add a $2 game to bump your total up and get the discount.

Yeah I thought the same thing, but it seems Epic don't actually have a shopping cart to buy more than 1 item at a time. DISAPPOINTED!

I played it for an hour or so. Really good already, brings the whole world to life. I'd like for some options with snap turning though, as the current option make me feel weird and dizzy. The zero G stuff will require an iron stomach, especially when you tilt. I had to stop after that part but will definitely return to it. Great job so far!

I'll never add snap turning, or teleporting, or anything like that. There's no point in a game like this.

Raicuparta,

I finally took the plunge and installed the OWMM. The process went smoothly, and no problem in getting updates and getting the game started (as long as you follow the instructions). So far the VR portion of the game crosses somewhere between Lone Echo and Super Mario Galaxy, and I am having a marvelous time.

I am playing with an i7-8700, 16GB RAM and a GTX 1070Ti with a Valve Index. Performance seems to be relatively the same, regardless if I choose a 80 or 90 Hz refresh rate. Smooth locomotion is just that...smooth. Smooth turning, on the other hand has some noticeable jitter, but is impacted by how much is going on in the background. Strangely enough, physical turning is fantastic and has no jitter what so ever.

The latest VR update (V0.54?) has some noticeable improvements in the controls, and represents an improvement compare to the first time I played (V0.48). So far the only confusing controls is when I press 'left A' and use the right joystick to rotate myself up/down/roll; I occasionally wish the up/down controls could be switched (I can deal with how they are, but keep thinking in terms of airplane up/down controls).

Thank you so much for this wonderful VR addon.

[Devil in me.]

Bought it works well. But orenating your self in zero g is basically impossible, an don map cant control ship to land on anything.. official support would be fantastic.

Pretty sure there are in-game options for inverting this? They're supposed to affect VR too.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying the mod otherwise.

I finished the game yesterday and installed and played the VR mod today on my Index. It's a really amazing job, well done. It almost feels like a native VR game. The tools feel so natural to use and I love the way you interact with the ship systems by pointing at them and activating.

What's still on your to-do list for it?
