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
  • Real melee: swing the sword and blackjack with your hand. Hits land where your blade is, and knockouts work as in the original game.
  • 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.
  • Supports the NewDark 1.29 build from T2Fix only. A future T2Fix update will need a mod update.
  • Right-handed controls only for now.

Feedback

This is the first release. If something doesn't work, please open an issue and attach thief2vr.log from your Thief 2 folder.
