?UnratedR.E.A.L. VR mod by Luke Ross

Lordran in first person, or from the familiar over-the-shoulder view, with a headset and a gamepad.

Needs a gamepad. No motion-controller gameplay: you hold a controller (or use keyboard and mouse) and look around with your head.

The catch: Patreon-only, with head tracking and a gamepad but no motion controllers.

Stuck?

No motion controllers; head tracking plus gamepad or keyboard and mouse

Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue

Frame generation does not add frames in the headset, so it does not help VR

Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue

Black screen in the headset

This mod uses OpenXR. Check the active OpenXR runtime matches how you connect (the Set your VR runtime step), then start Link or Virtual Desktop before the game. General tip from us

Controllers don't show up

Start Link, Virtual Desktop or SteamVR before the game, and make sure the controllers are awake before launch. General tip from us

Stutter or low frame rate

Lower the in-game resolution or render scale first, then shadows and volumetrics. Close overlays you don't need. General tip from us

The mod didn't load at all

Recheck the game version against the creator's page; a game update is the most common cause. Then reinstall the mod files. General tip from us
