Arx Fatalis in VR: full body, real sword swings, rune drawing by hand, physical shield blocks.
Fan-made, built on Arx Libertatis. Requires your own copy of Arx Fatalis (Steam, GOG, CD) or the free demo.

What's new since 0.1.0

  • Direct3D 11 renderer: dynamic shadows, ambient occlusion, bloom, normal maps, reflections, DLSS / FSR
  • Shinier armor and weapons with relief detail
  • Body follows your real heading and realigns after cutscenes
  • Recenter: hold the left thumbstick, or use the headset's recenter
  • Your free hand collides with the held weapon, with haptics
  • Menus move in steps instead of gliding after your head
  • New default graphics settings for PCVR and Quest
  • Fixes: weapon grip in both hands, drawing the weapon from the back, shadow flicker on characters
  • Native Quest 3 build (Vulkan, experimental)

High-resolution textures and player models (strongly recommended)

The new lighting, normal maps and materials look best with upscaled textures and updated player models.
They are not included in this release and need to be downloaded separately:

  1. Download and install the HD Texture Pack 2026 by Felldude: https://www.nexusmods.com/arxfatalis/mods/25
    Copy its Graph folder to Saved Games\Arx Libertatis\ (or next to arx.exe).
    1.1. Optionally - copy textures from Transparency_issues folder to Graph\obj3d\textures
  2. Download the texture patch and updated models: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pO271_5z7fhHs3WMrcTvNEgj8qQ04n_I/view?usp=sharing
    2.2. Copy the graph and game folders to the same place and replacing existing files.

Downloads

File Platform
ArxLibertatisVR-0.2.0-win64.zip PCVR: SteamVR, Quest Link, Virtual Desktop
ArxLibertatisVR-0.2.0-android-arm64.apk Quest 3 standalone (experimental)

Install – PCVR

  1. Extract the zip into a new folder.
  2. Copy the Arx Fatalis data files (data*.pak, sfx.pak, speech*.pak, loc*.pak, misc and graph folders) next to arx.exe, or install it next to an existing Arx Libertatis setup. It finds the game data the same way Arx Libertatis does.
  3. Start SteamVR or Quest Link, then arx.exe.

Install – Quest 3

  1. Install the APK with SideQuest or adb install.
  2. Launch Arx Libertatis VR - the game won't launch, but it will create a folder /sdcard/ArxLibertatis/ with config.
  3. Copy the Arx Fatalis data files (data*.pak, sfx.pak, speech*.pak, loc*.pak, misc and graph folders) into /sdcard/ArxLibertatis/
  4. Start the game and allow "All files access" when asked (the game will need to be restarted).

Tested on Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3s.
The Quest version is still being tuned: frame rate can drop in heavy scenes.
