Please Read Before Reporting a Bug or Asking for Help
Edit: Unfortunately I can no longer provide support for this mod and will be unable to answer any questions or bug reports indefinitely. Help each other out, there are easy fixes to most if not all probable issues.



Original Post:

Bug reporting can be very helpful, but more often then not, the problems people report to me are not bugs at all, but simply user error. (And have been solved many many times)

Before reporting a bug or asking for help, please follow the checklist below.

  • Are you trying to use this mod alongside VNN's VR collection and set up? If so, this is the issue. Disable or delete the mods from VNN's collection, and try again. If It still does not work, delete the autoexec.cfg he tells you to install.

  • Do you have any other mods besides HL2:VR and it's requirements installed/enabled? If so, disable ALL your addons besides HL2:VR and it's requirements. This is the most common issue.

  • Are you using the mod properly? Make sure you're selecting the HL2:VR gamemode from the main menu before starting a map.

  • Did you follow all the instructions on both the HL2:VR page and the VRmod page? VRmod requires additional steps beyond just downloading to function properly that many people miss.

  • Are you trying to play a map that is not directly from the HL2 campaign? (i.e. Episode 1 or 2 maps, custom campaigns such as The Citizen, or Mission Improbable). This mod only works with the original Half-Life 2 campaign at the moment, the episodes as well as any custom maps or campaigns will not function properly.

  • Does your computer match the minimum specs required for VR? If not, that is the issue. If so, then make sure it is powerful enough to run most other mainstream VR games without issues (i.e. Boneworks, Raw Data, Sairento, HL:A, etc.)
    Garry's Mod VR is surprisingly demanding, and can even cause a 1080 TI to chug quite often.

  • If you get an error in the console with strings referencing VRmod, then it is not my problem and should not be reported to me. VRmod is an entirely separate mod that HL2:VR relies on. Please report those errors to Catse on their VRmod workshop page.

  • Cant figure out how to change your playermodel? Press F1 before entering VR mode.

  • If you're having trouble with a specific gameplay element (i.e. interacting with levers, doors, ladders, etc.) please refer to the FAQ/Controls headers on the main workshop page for this mod. It is extremely likely an answer exists there.


If you follow the above steps and the problem still persists, then you can report the problem, and/or ask for help.

If you disregard this checklist and report a common issue or complain about something that has already been answered without first troubleshooting it for yourself, your report or inquiry will subsequently be ignored.


Finally, I'd just like to reinforce the fact that this mod would not be possible without the code base of The Lambda Coop Framework and Catse's VRmod. In comparison to the amount of work these folks put into making these mods, I did very little to put this mod together. Give 'em your love.

Does it only work for the Index, or can I use something like the Quest?

You should be able to use it on any headset that connects to your PC.

Thanks for the response, was just wondering, cause I'm looking into a rift, since it's cheaper.

Can't guarantee anything, but it should work.

So, I've tried all I could with my pistol not shooting. No clips when I reach on my hips, tried changing the firing mode, I even was maxed out on ammo for it. Just couldn't get it to shoot. I was able to when I first got the pistol, but now I am lost. Is there anything else that I could try to fix this? Using Oculus Touch controllers by the way.
what is the console command bound to f1? because i cant seem to open anything with it

That's because ArcVR broke in a VRMod update. But don't worry, because you can sub to this addon instead of the base mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2178376125
