ugh can't we just give the guy $100 or something, all I want is to fool around in the latest Titanic Honour & Glory, but it's UE5 :( :(

[@waifu_enjoyer]

@@BD12 titanic works I have a video on this channel with it. UE5 works fine, have quite a few games and experiences that use it like Demonlogist, the bus, Omega Strikers and some tech demo stuff

[@waifu_enjoyer]

@@BD12 yeah although the UE-general in the discord you’ll see a lot more chatter. There is a channel just for praydog’s GitHub updates. Will be sometime this year but it’s a mammoth project, with all the UE versions it’s like making a universal mod for 30 different engines.

[@BD12]

@@waifu_enjoyer fingers crossed then, he's doing God's work!

[@vvrrva]

can't thank praydog enough for this. this is going to be amazing.

[@NextWorldVR]

The Free Unreal 4.18 Star Trek game (that was cancelled by CBS legal) works great! Amazing to be on the Enterprise D in 3D 360!

[@decadent.]

Thanks for the video. I could listen to you talk for hours about this mod. This is just so exciting. The icing on the cake would be Valve releasing a new VR headset this year to play all these games on.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Thanks I was a bit worried when I saw how long it got and cut a few things out :P Need to do some more testing of new stuff, planning to do some performance comparison versions between the injector and the same game with other VR mods. When it's closer to release or if it's released in a limited fashion to a single game, will focus on a super deep dive guide/tutorial/best practice video as well.

[@faruk-tn6jv]

I wished every games in my computer 2D, 3D to become first person vr. Modders are amazing and they deserve much more.

[@oakfront]

Well done all you guys, you've saved vr. Geniuses

[@waifu_enjoyer]

VR is just getting started I think :)

[@FourtyTwoish]

Yeah, really. I was a huge VR proponent from the very start - tested a DK1, had huge fun with CV1 & Index, but at some point content that interested me just died out. Since I found the RoR2 mod, then Luke's mods and through it my way into the discord I'm once again gaming 95% in VR. Mods only. Modders really did save (PC)VR.

[@herbertmutzelmann877]

Thank you (Praydog Team) for the work and time you put in. You do so much for the VR community that developers have spurned since 2016.

[@dishdoggiegaming7254]

Thank You for a nice update. Looking forward to its release. VR will go crazy over this.

[@colin8877]

Great info. It would be wrong not to give money to Praydog if you use this.

[@hanskraaiiikrai6311]

So excited for this mod. You guys are awesome!

[@9ALiTY]

I can't wait for the Unreal Engine VR Mod. I am waiting to play any Unreal Engine 4 & 5 Games in VR!

[@bluebell1]

Praydog Team does it agin! You guys are amazing! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@XFrequenzsuppeX]

Very exited for this!

[@Demsnacks]

So glad to have gotten a progress update! Currently saving for a 4080 specifically for this VR experience.

[@Demsnacks]

NGL I hope John Carmack is somewhere out there watching this with a smile on his face. Would love to see him test some games and talk about his thoughts on the program.

[@robertpetrie2536]

Amazing video thank you so much for what you do!

[@DiscoMachine-78]

Very good and informative FAQ! Your commentary is great too, and I'd advise you do it on other videos as well as its hard to get an impression of VR while watching flatscreen videos of it. However if its too much trouble that is understandable!

[@cskhard]

Can't wait for this to go public!

[@xcrcrypt]

I have a 4070ti maxed out. I work in IT and I can be one of your testers if you need. Thank you for the great and & impressive work.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

thanks, we aren't accepting new testers at this time, but think you'll be well set with that setup when it releases!

Excellent video mate. This will save you from answering all the questions under the videos I hope… Btw I love how you enthusiastically playing with your Quest 2 in video. You look concentrated as a player who experiences VR first time in a shopping mall. :) I thank you and Praydog and other good people who are giving time for this journey.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Thanks! Just been testing some live streaming and thinking of doing a community Q&A livestream with some of the testers and me in voice asking questions in chat. Will have to think of a game or a poll. They want me to test Visage but it's so scary :P

@@waifu_enjoyer This might be nice. But I think still people will be asking the same questions that you already answered in this video tho... Lately the most teasing thing to hear is "upcoming Praydog mod" for me... I am beyond excited for the possibilities. Let us know if you decide a Q&A

[@Frank-ng2sr]

This will be a evolutionary milestone for VR.

[@gromenauer80]

You missed the most important question. WHEN? 😁 Thanks for yout incredible job!

[@virajpawar750]

Thank you so much for all this work!

[@Gonzax]

I watch all the videos you post on Discord so thanks a lot for that and also for this one which is very informative. Lots of cool stuff with this injector but it's good to put things in perspective so that some people don't get the wrong idea about what it is and what it does. By the way, what's the name of that last game on your video, the one in a boat at night?

[@waifu_enjoyer]

That is Close to the Sun, have a longer video on the channel with it. Very cool kind of Bioshock walking simulator/adventure game that is on a giant art deco Titanic!

[@Gonzax]

@@waifu_enjoyer Ah yes, I remember it, I played it flat a long time ago, a perfect fit for VR, actually.

[@Demsnacks]

I would love to see a test of Strike Vector EX but I love all the uploads so much. Any news is great news.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Looks like it's no longer on steam? Would it even work flat if I found a key?

[@Demsnacks]

@@waifu_enjoyer hmm I'm not sure but I would imagine it should? To be clear I was just going through the UE library on Moby games and this looked like it would be exciting if playable

[@lowrider2756]

This sounds amazing! Does dynamic foveated rendering work (OpenXR Toolkit)?

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Believe some of the others have used it fine. Jay has used it to get more out of his 3060 laptop.

[@pierocase89]

You are super great guys! (Praydog) just a question, will it work in standalone too or only with pcvr?

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Only PCVR. Hopefully will prompt devs to see that a quest port might make sense for them! Would love to see Octopath traveler or Astroneer on Quest. Think they could run as well if they took the time. All about changing peoples preconceptions of what a VR game can be. Maybe they don’t need to spend months making unique VR mechanics and just release their game as is with these kind of QoL for standalone.

[@Billkwando]

I'm trying to get this working in Ace Combat Multiplayer. I was able to inject it once the multiplayer match started, but the screen goes black. I do see onscreen messages, but as soon as I die the game crashes. There's no EAC and VR wouldn't give an advantage over the 99% of players who all fly in 3rd person view and hold down the target button to literally point the camera right at you.

[@Kondiqq]

What about ARK: Survival Evolved? It was pretty high in the strawpoll titled "Which UE Games Should We Focus On Making Sure It Works Perfectly W/ Praydog's VR Mod?".

[@OooO65739]

One question....when release a public Beta...😅

[@Den4ik_GG]

ooo God! i want to try PUBG with this mod. Looks amazing!

[@CondemnedToBeMe]

👍👍👍👍

[@stonehouseguitars3869]

What game was being played at 6:21?

[@lolmao500]

Good video. Im very interesting in the "educational" things youre talking about? Any website we can get some of these or that catalogue them or something? Thanks a lot for your hard work!

[@k9steamgaming936]

Is there anyway of raising the colours with this injector cus whenever I use it with my index the colours are seriously unsaturated, nearly being black n white. Thanks

[@MythionVR]

Doesn't this also highlight the lazy efforts of devs/publishers that choose UE for their engine? So many good AAA games on Unreal Engine with no efforts made. I seriously hope this lights the fire under a lot of devs. Again thank you for this effort and the time you've put into this.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

No comment lol :P Praydog is awesome though and this project shows his intimate knowledge of the unreal engine and VR systems, so even if you aren't up to speed with VR gaming this could provide an easy way for devs to see what all the fuss is about :)

[@VR-Emcee]

Sweet

[@GamesforCykits]

Will there ever be manual reloads with motion controls? If not I hope modders for some of the games add it

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Unlikely, that’s a quite a lot of extra mechanics in games that never were designed for it. Not impossible though but a serious amount of work by a modder in a single game. You’d have to make all new custom interactions, have 6DOF motion controls, make all new models for all the guns and hands that interact.

[@AceFondu]

On the will my headset work, I didn't hear any WMR headsets like HP Reverb G2?

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Should work, if you can play steamVR games with OpenVR with it then it should be fine! Will double check We are doing a live Q and A live stream tomorrow on the main flat2VR channel so will ask the others then as well

[@m1kbh0y]

probly a stupid question but where do you put game profiles once youve downloaded them?

[@waifu_enjoyer]

They will sit in the global directory. Check out my UEVR import config tutorial video I recently uploaded.

[@lcurtis86]

They need to announce this stuff closer to release. The suspense and not knowing a time frame is brutal.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

It isn't a video game from a company. This is an open source software project by a single developer. The release date is some time this year.

[@lcurtis86]

@Waifu Enjoyer Understandable, but maybe give a timeline or quarter it will be released. Not knocking him, or any other developer, but the not knowing and anticipation is killing me LOL

[@NextWorldVR]

In case u don't know, it came out today! ;")

[@xhappymasksalesmenx4092]

when i start work again ill be looking to subscribe to a patreon of some sort

[@johnwalsh1879]

Will the pico 4 be compatible

[@周文广]

I want to know how to change vr controller button mapping? such as how to maping Left Controller A button to keyboard A .

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Might have to make a tutorial on this. Easiest way is in steam input like how you would remap controls on a flat game. Can be also done in UEVR’s keybind pane. But easiest way is steam input and has lots of existing tutorials. Also check out my gamepad mapping tutorial I recently uploaded as well

[@周文广]

What I mean by that is, if my PC game doesn't have buttons on the XBox controller and Switch controller, or SteamVR button input, it just has keyboard input, such as WASD. Is there any way we can map the remote sensing key of the VR gamepad to the WASD key of the keyboard, and the Trigger key of the VR gamepad to the left mouse button Fire@@waifu_enjoyer

[@周文广]

Not all games are tied to the XBox or Switch controller, so if the game is only tied to the keyboard, is there any way to map the keys of the VR controller to the keyboard keys?@@waifu_enjoyer

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Games without gamepad support at all I use openVR2key. I used this for Demonologist and Voidborn (videos on my channel). Planning on doing a whole separate video on all the possible gamepad rebinding options though if I get time!@@周文广

[@周文广]

@@waifu_enjoyer Thank you for your clarification, and I look forward to your recording of relevant videos

[@ashred9616]

So would UE3 be impossible for this kind of tool to ever be developed for? It’s pretty sad that Mass Effect legendary edition wasn’t a remake on a newer engine.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Not sure but the whole thing that kicked off the project was the realization that the stereo rendering pipeline still existed in UE4 games that weren’t VR and just needed to be turned back on again. That never existed in UE3 games.

[@Torrente70]

Dead Island 2 should be playable with this mod

[@DrasticElevation]

Not related but, why is half-life 2 listed as the game, in a video about a injector?

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Have no idea 😂 just checked but had left it blank so maybe KZbin just guesses.

[@fishraider7897]

Is the injector only available on Patreon?

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Not released yet to the public. Will be released some time this year for free and open source.

[@CondemnedToBeMe]

Is it possible to become a fellow UEVR tester? :)

[@benjamininthezone]

is there a game list played in the video ? all look very interesting :)

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Yeah left a comment on the video with the list of games in chronological order they appear in the video. They are all on my channel as well and in the spreadsheet tracker.

I wish it worked on Alien Isolation

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Yeah that game is begging for native VR conversion or a sequel. Aliens Fireteam Elite and maybe the upcoming team based top down game are what we have for now sadly.

Isn't there already an Alien Isolation VR mod?

Why are you pretending to aim the gun with two hands at 25:36? Why intentionally mislead viewers into thinking the software does something it doesn't

[@waifu_enjoyer]

It's using the two handed 3DOF motion control feature. So you have to use your left hand to pivot the gun, but the right hand is the base of the pivot so not like I can drop my hand down and has to stay still in that kind of place to make it feel easy.

[@gtfafm1036]

@@waifu_enjoyer Huh. My apologies for accusing you.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

@@gtfafm1036 No problem it does look very wierd. I naturally just tried using my other hand but the crosshair and UI would be all off to my side if I didn't bring the other one in. Just grabbed some gameplay from other videos and that one was specifically from the Back 4 Blood 3DOF two hand showcase that had more context. Looking to do a community Q&A livestream soon where we can take some live questions and showcase some games there with the features
