Camcorder night vision now works

Holding the right grip now keeps the camcorder in your hand with night vision. In v0.1.0-beta it could switch to the fullscreen camcorder instead, especially on a fresh install, because the mod stopped looking for the player if the game took longer than ~20 s to reach gameplay. It now keeps looking, and redoes the lookup after every level load.

Work-in-progress beta of Insanity Engine VR, a 6DOF VR mod with motion controls for Outlast (2013).

Download

Get InsanityEngineVR-v0.1.1-beta.zip below. That's the only file you need. The -source.zip is the source code of this exact build, as the GPL-3.0 license requires.

Install (short version)

  1. Run Outlast once normally, then quit.
  2. In Steam, right-click Outlast → Manage → Browse local files, then open Binaries\Win64.
  3. Extract everything from the zip into that folder, next to OLGame.exe.
  4. Run Outlast-VR.bat, choose Install, and enter your headset's refresh rate.
  5. Start your VR runtime (Quest Link, Virtual Desktop or SteamVR), then launch Outlast from Steam.

F10 opens the mod menu, G recenters, X picks up the nearest item. Don't turn off Depth of Field (night vision needs it). Full steps, requirements and uninstall are in the README and in README.txt inside the zip.

Known issues

  • The night-vision light can still show partly in your own view.
  • The HUD centre dot isn't centred in the headset.
  • No pickup prompts in VR. X picks up the nearest item within 1.5 m.
  • Aiming left/right still comes from your body, not your head.
  • Arms/hands may need adjusting in the F10 menu on first run (Arm drive on, hand markers off, right-hand turn).
  • Only tested on the Steam version with Meta Quest (Link and Virtual Desktop).
