Highlights

  • Cinematics in stereo: scripted scenes (the bathysphere descent) now render as a proper stereo projection with head-look - the fisheye and broken fusion are gone (the mod measures the scene's real FOV live and tells the headset the truth). Prefer a big virtual screen instead? One checkbox in the F10 overlay ("Cinematics as stereo projection").
  • Hacking and loading screens are readable: world-less 2D screens (the hack minigame, loading screens, menus) now appear on a head-locked screen in front of you instead of being sprayed across the whole FOV.
  • Post-process effects stay in the world: alcohol blur and friends render per-eye on the camera instead of landing on the HUD panel.
  • No more first-boot restart: the mod answers the game's one-shot gamepad check itself - motion controllers work the moment you press VR PRESET 1, first launch included.
  • Head-roll stereo fix: eye separation now follows your full head orientation - tilting your head no longer breaks stereo.
  • Turn controls: smooth-turn speed slider and optional snap turn (angle configurable), persisted with your preset.
  • Pad aim-magnetism (soft lock-on) disabled by default - it fought VR aiming; re-enable in the overlay if you want it.
  • Early-game freeze fix: the weapon-profile resolver no longer periodically stalls the game on saves with no weapons yet.
  • Overlay hardening, and the hack/pause screens follow your view.

Known issues

  • Engine-cinematic letterbox bars (e.g. plasmid injection sequences) are still visible mid-view in the headset; an experimental removal ships default-off (vrcine unsqueeze on). Under investigation for the next release.
  • During those cinematics, awake motion controllers override the scene's authored hands; set the controllers down to watch the authored version. Fix planned.

Install

As before: copy xinput1_3.dll and bioshockvr.dll next to BioshockHD.exe (Build\Final\), launch, press F10 -> VR PRESET 1. A fresh install needs no tuning; see preset/HOW-TO-USE.txt if you already have your own calibration.
