Notes

MGS4-PCVR v0.1.1 — Stereo in the Home menu

v0.1.1

Adds Stereo On / Off to the Home menu and supports Steam game build 25292043.

• Switch between mono theater and stereo gameplay without restarting.
• The Home panel stays in theater; closing it restores the selected mode.
• Stereo uses headset tracking. Mono retains optional camera following.
• Recenter resets the screen and neutral head pose; distance controls theater placement.
• Stereo preference is saved in mgs4vr.ini. Mono remains the default.

Stereo uses alternating gameframes, not two views of the same simulation state. Menus/cutscenes use theater fallback when no valid eye pair exists. Motion controls remain planned; play with a gamepad.

Requires DirectX 11 and an active OpenXR headset.
