BB-tierRDRVR by Disonomouss

Draw, spin and holster John Marston's guns with your hands in true stereo.

The catch: Needs a third-party hook (RedHook) and has only been hardware-tested on one headset.

Steps are general until you ; then the runtime step matches your headset.

  1. Set your VR runtime

    Pick your OpenXR runtime: the Meta Horizon Link app for Link or Air Link, Virtual Desktop's VDXR for Virtual Desktop, or SteamVR for Index, Beyond and Pico. The creator supports SteamVR too; if a later step says "start SteamVR or your VR runtime", this runtime is enough and you can skip SteamVR.

    General step from us

  2. Install Red Dead Redemption (Steam)

    Install it and launch it once in flat mode to finish first-time setup, then quit. The creator says it needs Made on one build of RDR.exe; on other builds it scans for game code and stands down (plays flat) if it cannot find everything.

  3. Have these ready

Stuck?

Only Touch controllers on a Quest 3 tested on real hardware

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

Crash reports go to Rockstar when the mod is installed

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

Random freezes and frame stutter bursts, cause unknown (README)

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

Early public release

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
