BannerlordVR v0.2.6-alpha.2

For Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord v1.4.8 stable and v1.5.5 (Steam build ), Windows x64. Requires Bannerlord.Harmony and SteamVR or VDXR as the active OpenXR runtime. Other game versions are unverified.

Changes

  • DLSS is shipped with the mod .DLSS preset selection, resolution readout,
  • Full hand and equipment calibration with saved pose profiles in VR menu.
  • Optional toggle battle grips.
  • fixed noble bow string, camel camera/rider alignment, and camera height after mount falls.
  • Practice-arena hands and weapons no longer fade away.
  • Menu auto-recenter now has angle limit, and can be disabled.
  • Large modded mounts camera fix.
  • Fov cropping( Will improve performance a lot) , not supported on MetaXR
  • Meta/oculus XR is supported now.
  • Cheekyfoveateddlss(0.5.5) is now supported , needs seperate install from cheeky github(Thanks to cheeky for this great tool)
  • RCAS new sharpening tool , looks cleaner than the old CAS , but softer .

Best new tips for performance

-(this only work with nvidia card) Install cheekyfoveateddlss(0.5.5 standalone) from their github, then paste the CheekyFoveatedDLSS folder only into the game's \bin\Win64_Shipping_Client, don't add anything else from the folder. this will enable cheekydlss , this alone should give you a good boost to performance when using dlss in game. for me it was about 12fps .

-The other tip is , FOV cropping , the mod now ships with fov croping sits at 1.0 , lower it , until the edges bothers you , for quest 3 best was (H=0.83, V=0.87) this gave me about another 10fps

-Enable VRS wide , this will give you maybe 2 to 4 fps with no visual loss , only at the very edges of the lens.

Optimized = 25 fps increase for me ,

Installation

Close the game. Extract BannerlordVR-0.2.6-alpha.2.zip into the game folder. Enable Bannerlord VR below Harmony. Keep both mod DLLs, bundled DLSS DLL, NVIDIA license, and BannerlordVR.default.cfg from this package together.

Existing personal settings in Documents/Mount and Blade II Bannerlord/Configs/BannerlordVR.cfg override the shipped defaults; back up and rename that file to try a clean configuration.

NVIDIA DLSS 310.9.1.0 is bundled under its separate NVIDIA license. At module startup, an older game bin/Win64_Shipping_Client/nvngx_dlss.dll is upgraded atomically; the first original is saved as nvngx_dlss.dll.bannerlordvr-original.bak. Equal/newer versions are kept. Restart Bannerlord once if the old DLSS was already loaded. The managed log reports upgrades, restart requirements, or failures (for example a read-only game bin). No Cheeky Foveated DLSS plugin is bundled.

Known limitations

  • Alpha quality: glitches, unfinished interactions, performance variation, and crashes are possible.
  • AMD graphics cards are not fully supported. Single-player only.
