This new release is quite a big one on the emersion side of things. Mostly new hands and better interactivity with the environment.

  • Two-handed bow is now the default: an arrow appears in your hand, nock it, draw and release; arrows leave from the bow
  • Frob what your hand touches or points at (within reach)
  • Hold the grip on crates, bottles etc. to carry them in your hand; let go to drop, swing and let go to throw
  • Throw flash bombs and other items by swinging
  • HUD on your body: light gem and health on the left wrist, weapon on the right, inventory at the left waist above a pouch
  • The selected inventory item appears in your hand while cycling
  • Climb ladders and ropes with the stick (forward up, back down)
  • Lean further with the camera shift off (Movement tab: lean reach)
  • New hand textures (Hafnia Hands)
  • Fixed: sound turning with the hand instead of the head
  • Fixed: melee hits not registering reliably

Play Thief 2: The Metal Age in VR, with full head and hand tracking.

Features

  • Stereo 3D at your headset's native resolution, with 6DoF head tracking

  • Bow: aim it with your hand, or turn on the two-handed bow and draw the string like a real bow
  • Crouch and lean with your body
  • Every game screen in VR: menus, map, objectives and books on a screen in front of you, driven by a laser pointer
  • 3D sound that follows your head, plus controller vibration when your weapon hits
  • In-game VR menu: hold the left menu button for settings, the full controls list and recenter
  • Options: snap or smooth turn, weapon smoothing, weapon and bow alignment, HUD placement, anti-aliasing and more

Requirements

  • Thief 2 (Steam or GOG) with T2Fix installed (NewDark 1.29)
  • A PC VR headset with a 32-bit OpenXR runtime. It's tested on Meta Quest with Virtual Desktop.
  • Touch-style motion controllers

Install

  1. Download Thief2VR-0.1.0.zip below.
  2. Extract it into your Thief 2 folder (the one with Thief2.exe). You get a Thief2VR folder inside it.
  3. Run Thief2VR\install.bat.
  4. Start your headset streaming, then launch Thief 2.

To remove the mod, run uninstall.bat. It restores your original game settings.

Known limitations

  • Only tested with Virtual Desktop on Quest. Other headsets and runtimes may work if they provide 32-bit OpenXR.
