Aprovisional A-tierSH2R-UEVR (UEVR improvements and motion controls) by praydog

Swing a plank or aim a shotgun with both hands as James, with the map held open in front of you.

The catch: Development stopped in late 2024, and the body stays hidden outside cutscenes.

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.

Stuck?

Last release and commit are from late 2024, so later game patches are untested here

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

Body inverse kinematics not working, so the body is hidden outside cutscenes

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

Issues opened through 2026 mention a map popping open on Quest 3 and requests for snap turn

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
