Alpha 0.7

VR interaction and tracking

• Buttons, switches, doors, vehicles, and other usable objects follow the physical HMD viewing direction.
• Interaction overlays and activation use the same target.
• Meta and SteamVR runtime recentering preserves game-space rotation and tracked-rig alignment.
• Fixed physical head rotation disagreeing with artificial thumbstick rotation during interaction.

Menus

• Main, pause, and shared VR menus follow horizontal head yaw directly.
• Menus remain vertically upright; head pitch and roll no longer move or tilt them.
• Controller raycasting uses the current displayed menu pose.

Weapon scopes

• Precision Rifle and Sniper Rifle zoom now displays the native scoped game image on an OpenXR quad.
• Original zoom FOV, reticle, mask, and scope presentation are preserved.
• Normal stereoscopic VR resumes when zoom closes, the weapon changes, or a menu opens.

Weapon switching and handling

• Added an optional Fast Weapon Switch launcher setting; it is off by default, preserving the native selector and access to C4 and remote charges.
• Two-handed weapon alignment and gun alignment were adjusted for a better fit.

Vehicles

• Fixed the tilted gameplay horizon after exiting pitched vehicles, particularly the submarine.
• Vehicle exit stabilization clears residual pitch and roll while preserving player yaw.

The release includes the recommended installer and an advanced/manual binary ZIP.

Alpha 0.6

Hotfix: room-scale turning now pivots around the player's current physical HMD position instead of the original recenter point. This prevents thumbstick turning from orbiting an outdated room-scale center after the player has moved.

The release includes the recommended one-step installer and an advanced/manual binary ZIP.

Alpha 0.1

Highly experimental first public alpha of Alpine Faction VR. This build adds the optional OpenXR VR path for the Red Faction singleplayer campaign. It is incomplete, probably not working correctly on many systems, and may crash or exhibit severe visual, input, and gameplay issues.

Install regular Alpine Faction first, then extract the VR Mod folder from the ZIP over the installed Alpine Faction directory and replace existing files. Enable VR / OpenXR in the launcher options.
