v0.7.0 - BioShock 2 support: both games in VR

One download, two games. The same two DLLs now power native VR for BioShock Remastered AND BioShock 2 Remastered - the mod detects which game loaded it. Install into either game or both.

What's new in v0.7.0 - BioShock 2 support

• Full motion controls: each hand rides its own controller, weapons/plasmids aim from the hand, bullets leave the hand, per-weapon calibration ships built in.
• Movement follows your view: stick-forward walks where you look; smooth and snap turn both carry your body.
• HUD on a readable floating panel (health/EVE, ammo, plasmid, subtitles); screen effects stay in the world view. Menus and fullscreen screens land on a readable screen.
• Cutscenes play properly: authored camera in stereo with head-look (adjustable), your hands hand over to the game's animations for the scene, no black-bar artifacts.
• Game crosshair hidden by default (you aim with the mod's dot); toggle in F10.
• BioShock 1 is unchanged from v0.6.0 - this zip is a drop-in update for it.

Install

1. Download bioshock-vr-v0.7.0.zip and copy both DLLs (xinput1_3.dll, bioshockvr.dll) into the game's binary folder:
   • BioShock: ...\steamapps\common\BioShock Remastered\Build\Final\
   • BioShock 2: ...\steamapps\common\BioShock 2 Remastered\Build\Final\
2. Preset files (each folder has its own HOW-TO-USE.txt):
   • preset-bs1\ -> copy into %LOCALAPPDATA%\BioshockVR\ (BioShock 1's bundled calibration).
   • preset-bs2\ -> optional: BioShock 2's calibration is built into the DLL. The folder is the author's exact tuned setup - copy into %LOCALAPPDATA%\BioshockVR\bs2\ to restore it after experimenting.
3. If you use itsloopyo's head-tracking mod (BS1), remove its xinput1_3.dll first - same injection vector, they cannot coexist.
4. Headset (Quest 3 + Virtual Desktop): set Virtual Desktop's OpenXR runtime to VDXR, connect, launch the game from Steam inside Virtual Desktop. Steam Link / SteamVR also works.
5. In-game: load your save and you are in VR. Press F10 for the mod menu.

The F10 menu - what to play with

• PRESET (top): APPLY arms everything; SAVE persists every slider/toggle below across relaunches. When in doubt, APPLY.
• During cutscenes (VR section): authored+look (default) = the scripted camera plays and you can still look around; authored = fully locked shot; off = you keep control.
• VR HUD: distance / width / height sliders for the floating HUD panel.
• VR camera: world scale, snap turn (on/off + angle) vs smooth turn speed, Recenter, and the game crosshair toggle (hidden by default).
• Body / locomotion: "body follows head" (default on) is what makes stick-forward = look direction; follow rate and deadzone if you prefer a looser feel.
• HANDS + AIM (per hand): aim trim and position sliders - tune per weapon, they save per weapon automatically; model scale and weapon offset; laser beam and aim-dot toggles per hand (default: beams off, dots on); arms follow/hide.
• Hide cutscene black bars: on by default; flip it if you want the letterbox back.

Notes

• 32-bit games: the DLLs are x86 on purpose.
• Uninstall = delete the two DLLs from the game folder.
