AA-tierVHVR (Valheim VR mod) by Brandon Mousseau and contributorsSecurity: Watched for changesExperimental

Swing a sword and raise a shield with your own arms across Valheim's whole survival loop.

The catch: Experimental and tied to Valheim patches, so updates can break it.

Black screen in the headset

This mod runs through SteamVR. Start your link (Quest Link, Air Link or Virtual Desktop) first, then SteamVR, and only then the game. If SteamVR shows the headset but the game is flat, close the game and launch it again the way the creator's steps say. 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
