What's new in 1.5.1

From aikatore's port, Quest and PC

• Locational hit reactions: enemies react to where they are hit (head, body, legs) and to how hard.
• Difficulty select when you start a new game.
• Zombie heads can be blown off.
• Blood comes out of the exact point where a shot lands, the head included.
• B.O.W. gas flash.
• Import system: EXTRA > IMPORT on the title screen, to bring in your own models and rooms.
• Battle Game: the characters are unlocked as in the original port.

Pistols, Quest and PC

• The slide glows orange and breathes while it has to be pulled. Take it with the left grip anywhere on the glowing piece: it stays in your hand until you let go, and the gun fires again only after the whole pull.
• The magazine guide of the pistols is a breathing orange light in the magazine's own shape, fixed to the gun.

Picture, Quest only

• Super Resolution option in the VR settings. The PC version does not have it.

Clean release

• No log files are written, and the VR debug options are gone.

Version

• Quest: app version 1.5.1 (version code 151). The launcher's update check and the PC's both look at this release.

What's new in 1.5.0

Reloading by hand, Quest and PC

• Ammo pouch: your ammo is now in a leather pouch at your belt (at your chest when you play seated). It opens when your left hand comes to it. Take ammo with the left grip and put it in the gun. While you hold ammo, a faint orange outline blinks on the gun where it goes (set for the shotgun, the pistol, the grenade launcher and the bow gun; a gun without one takes the ammo when your hand is near it). A small plate shows the rounds in the gun and the rounds left in the pouch, and it is always right.
• Pistols behave like pistols: B takes the magazine out and one round stays in the chamber. A pistol that runs empty stays open at the slide; put a magazine in, then pull the slide back with your left hand (squeeze the left grip on the slide) to fire. The pouch buzzes when your grip is on the slide, and the gun tilts as the slide is pulled.
• Shotgun and Magnum: rounds go in one at a time, and you see the round in your hand (the shotgun's shell, the Magnum's own round).
• Grenade launcher and bow gun: B opens the gun and shows one pouch for each kind of ammo you carry, side by side (grey, yellow, red and green circles on top for the launcher; arrows and explosive arrows for the bow gun). Take a round and put it in. Endless ammo stays endless. Flick the controller up, push the barrel up with the left hand, or press B again to shut it.
• Put the pouches where you like: VR settings, HOLSTERS: Adjust holster (grab it with the left grip and drag, A keeps it), one place for guns with one kind of ammo and one for the launcher and the bow gun, separately for Standing and Seated. Restore holsters puts them back.

Weapon wheel, Quest and PC

• Hold the right stick click, move the right hand up, right, down or left over a weapon and let go: it is in your hand.

Picture and comfort, Quest and PC

• Anti-aliasing and Super Resolution options (VR settings; on the Quest also in the launcher), a Seated position for playing in a chair, and a Show frame rate option that starts off.

Textures, Quest and PC

• Texture packs (.pack) are read as the game needs them and show at once, like the game's own, with no switch from a plain texture. Loose texture files are still read in the background.

Fixes, Quest and PC

• After a door or stairs you come out facing into the room, not with your back to it.
• Endless ammo no longer runs out when you load it from the pouch.

Version

• Quest: app version 1.5.0 (version code 150). The launcher's update check and the PC's both look at this release.

What's new in 1.4.3

Texture packs (.pack), Quest and PC

• One file with all the HD textures: put a .pack in the textures folder. Only its index is read at start and each texture is read from the file when the game needs it, so even a pack of several GB does not have to be loaded whole. Loose files in the folder win over the pack; without a pack the folder is read as before. The log says how many textures came from the pack.

Fixes, Quest and PC

• The game closing by itself (at random, and when a Battle Game ended or the character died): the main loop read a value the game never set. It now reads the right one.

Fixes, Quest only

• The app staying on the three loading dots on some headsets and some boots: the game's scratchpad memory sat at an address the Android runtime uses on some boots. The game now picks a free address when it starts (from a list, 0x7F000000 down to 0x78000000).
• If the game cannot load on a headset, a panel now says why (in English, Portuguese or Spanish) instead of an app that only restarts or hangs.
• Missing legs, effects and textures, and freezes that this scratchpad change could cause: fixed before release.
• Inventory and menus freezing at 1 image a second: an eye image taken ahead for a frame that turned out flat blocked the headset for 2 s each time. It is now given back.
• No more frame-rate numbers drawn in the picture, and the Display page's Show frame rate starts off. Show frame rate in the VR settings is still there.
• Fatal errors close the app and go to the log (and logcat, tag recvx) instead of a message box that is never seen.

Version

• Quest: app version 1.4.3 (version code 143). The launcher's update check and the PC's both look at this release.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X – PC Port VR v1.1

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X – PC Port VR v1.1 (Windows)

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X in VR on PC (PCVR, OpenXR; tested on Meta Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop).

Built on recvx-enhanced-recomp by aikatore (version 0.4.0, plus the game fixes of 0.5.2) and the recvx-decomp decompilation by AshfordFamily. All credit for the PC port goes to them.

No game data is included. You need your own disc image of Resident Evil Code: Veronica X (PS2, NTSC-U, SLUS-20184, .iso).

What's new in 1.1

• The VR page in the game's menu (title screen and in game, also F1): snap turn, comfort
  vignette, sight, resolution.
• Comfort vignette: dark edges only while you walk with the stick or turn (Off, Medium, Strong).
• Hits you can feel: the controller on the side of the hit vibrates (front: one knock, behind:
  two); held by a zombie, the vibration follows its bites, "check, check", and only the one holding you.
• The zombie no longer goes through your face: while it holds or hits you, the camera moves back,
  away from its body, smoothly and never into a wall (vr_close_push, cm; vr_bite_push adds a small
  push on each bite, 0 = off).
• Life colours: a yellow (Caution) or orange flash at each hit, the red edge in Danger, a
  purple edge when poisoned (red and purple by turns, softer, when both), with a heartbeat
  sound (vr_heart_sound, 0 = off; put a heartbeat.wav next to the game to use your own).
• Ammo fixes: a magazine taken out with B only goes back to the same gun (a gun could get 200
  rounds after Steve's part); B only drops the magazine when there is ammo to reload with (Steve's
  Lugers lost their rounds); B again puts a stuck magazine back.
• Exit to desktop in OPTION → ENHANCED SETTINGS → GAMEPLAY.
• Twin guns: a quick pull during the last shot is kept and fired as soon as the game allows it.
• Stairs: the view no longer turns by itself; only the snap turn is locked.
• OBS / VR overlays: a broken OpenXR layer no longer drops the game to the desktop.
• HD textures: lighter stutter on entering a room (tex_hd_per_frame, see below).
• Update check at start.
• Game fixes from aikatore's port 0.5.2 (no crash in four rooms with the free camera, the item box,
  an enemy bug).

How to play

1. Download RE-Code-Veronica-X-PC-Port-VR-v1.1-windows.zip from the Releases
   page and unpack it anywhere.
2. Start your OpenXR runtime (tested only on a Quest 2 through Virtual Desktop / VDXR).
3. Run PLAY_VR.bat. On the first start, pick your own .iso of the game (PS2, NTSC-U, SLUS-20184).
4. Optional, HD textures: download the texture pack (SLUS-20184.zip), unpack it into the
   textures folder (see "HD textures" below).
5. Before playing, set the comfort options in the title screen: OPTION → ENHANCED SETTINGS → VR
   (see "The VR page" below).

When a newer version is out, the game says so when it starts (see "Update check" below).

The VR page

In the title screen (or in game): OPTION → ENHANCED SETTINGS, the first page, VR:

Option	Choices
Snap turn	Smooth, 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 degrees (right stick)
Comfort vignette	Off, Medium, Strong – dark edges only while walking with the stick or turning
Sight	Laser, Dot (a small ring where the shot hits), Off
Resolution	50% to 200% of what the headset recommends

The other VR options stay in save/recvx.ini.

Controls

Button	What it does
Left stick	Walk (the way you look)
Left trigger, or click the left stick	Run
Right stick left/right	Snap turn (locked on stairs)
Right grip (hold)	Raise the gun and aim with your hand
Right trigger	Fire (with twin guns: the right gun)
Left trigger, while aiming twin guns	Fire the left gun
Left grip	Knife (cut by swinging it); at the belt: take an ammo box
A	Action: open doors, pick up items, examine, confirm
B	Cancel / back; with a gun in hand: drop the magazine
Y	Inventory (status screen)
X	Map
Hold left trigger + press Y	Select
Left menu button (three lines)	Start (pause, options)
Long press of the headset's system button	Recentre the view

Walking around your room moves Claire too. A small "A" shows over what the action button
would use (a door, an item) when you are right in front of it.

Reloading (by hand)

The gun does not reload by itself: when it is empty it only clicks.

1. Press B: the magazine drops out of the gun in your hand.
2. Look down: an ammo box hangs at your belt, in front of your belly, with the rounds you have
   left. It is not shown when you have no ammo for that gun.
3. Bring your left hand to the box and squeeze the left grip: the box is now in your hand.
4. Keep the grip held and bring your left hand to the gun: it reloads (sound and vibration).

With an empty gun you can skip step 1.

HD textures (optional)

The game can show HD textures made by the community for the PCSX2 (PS2 emulator) version of
this game. You have to get a pack yourself; none comes with this mod.

Download an HD texture pack: SLUS-20184.zip on Yandex Disk – a community PCSX2 texture
pack for this game (not made by this mod). Open the link, click Скачать (Download), unpack the
zip and put its folder inside textures (steps 2 to 5 below).

1. Find a pack: it must be an HD texture pack for PCSX2 for Resident Evil Code: Veronica X
   NTSC-U, SLUS-20184 (the same disc as your .iso). Packs for other versions (PAL, Japanese,
   Dreamcast, PS3/Xbox HD) do not match. The pack linked above is one of them.
2. Check the files: a PCSX2 pack is a folder of .dds or .png images with long hexadecimal
   names such as 104bcba3e277e448-ac18592ba12c29a2-00002654.dds. Do not rename them: the name is
   how the game finds each texture.
3. Copy them: put the pack's folder inside the textures folder next to recvx_vr.exe. Any
   subfolder works, e.g. textures\SLUS-20184\replacements\... exactly as in PCSX2, or the
   pack's own folder name.
4. Turn them on: in save\recvx.ini set tex_hd = 1 (already on in this release).
5. Start the game: loading the list of files takes a few seconds the first time.

Settings in save\recvx.ini:

Setting	What it does
tex_hd	1 = use the HD textures, 0 = the game's own
tex_hd_mb	Video memory for HD textures, in MB (default 600; less if the game stutters, more on a big GPU)
tex_hd_max	Largest texture size kept, e.g. 1024 or 2048 (bigger ones are reduced: less memory, smoother)

HD textures and stutter. With a big pack the game can stutter for about half a second when
you enter a room or something new appears. It is not your GPU: the pack's images are read from the
disk, and the ones without mipmaps (the smaller copies VR needs so that far textures do not
shimmer) are converted while you play, a few per frame. Each conversion takes a few milliseconds of
a frame the headset wants in 11. What helps:

Setting	Effect
tex_hd_per_frame (1–4, default 2)	Textures converted per frame. Fewer: lighter stutter that lasts longer, the room gets sharp a bit later.
tex_hd_max (e.g. 1024)	Bigger images are reduced to this size: less to read and convert.
tex_hd_mb	Video memory for HD textures; less if the stutter comes back while playing.
tex_hd = 0	No HD textures: to check whether a stutter comes from them.

Loading and converting the textures in the background (no stutter at all) is planned.

To check it worked, start with --log and look in recvx.log for a line like
tex: 6568 replacement textures found. A texture you do not like can be kept as the game's
own: write its file name (one per line) in textures\ignore.txt.

Update check

When the game starts it asks GitHub for the latest release of this project (one request, nothing
about you is sent; at most a few seconds, nothing happens without a network). If a newer version is
out, a window on the PC offers to open the download page. Set update_check = 0 in
save/recvx.ini to turn it off.

If the game starts on the desktop instead of the headset

• Start your OpenXR runtime first (Virtual Desktop / VDXR, Meta Quest Link or SteamVR set as the active OpenXR runtime).
• recvx.log saying xrCreateInstance ... failed: another program's OpenXR layer is in the way. Since this version a
  layer that fails to load is skipped, so this should no longer stop VR (it did with OBS running). If it still happens,
  close OBS and other VR overlays, or use the free OpenXR API Layers GUI to see and disable broken layers.

Known issues

• Small stutters can happen; they come from the hand-off of each frame to the headset, and from HD textures on entering a room (see above).
• The laser can show through the gun.
• vr_cam_steady and vr_move_direct are off by default; they still have bugs.
