FP Vehicle Update — MCC VR Alpha 0.3.3

READ THIS FIRST

SteamVR players: use the SteamVR Beta branch, with SteamVR set as your
default OpenXR runtime. That's what makes Virtual Desktop's VDXR mode work.

Let me know in the issues
if your headset is not working and someone or I can help you.

For a GPU performance boost, try
Quad-Views-Foveated.

Please list your specs if you're having issues.

⚠️ You have to set up your own seats

First-person vehicles ship with a starting camera position for every seat in
every game. That is a starting point, not a finished setting. Everyone's
height, play space and headset sit differently, so a seat that looks right for
me will be too low, too far forward, or too far back for you.

This is normal, it is expected, and it is a one-time job per seat:

  1. Get into the seat you want to fix — driver, passenger, gunner or turret.
  2. Press F1 and open the Vehicles category.
  3. Move Seat forward (m), Seat height (m) and Seat left / right (m)
    until it feels right.
  4. Get out. It saves to halomccvr.cfg by itself.

While you're sitting in a seat, those sliders move that seat alone. A
vehicle's driver, its passengers and its gunner each remember their own
position, in each game — so do the ones you actually use and ignore the rest.

First-person vehicles, now in all three games

0.3.2 put you inside Halo 3's vehicles. 0.3.3 does the same for ODST and
Halo: Reach, so the whole collection is covered.

Brightness works in ODST and Reach

The game_brightness slider only ever moved Halo 3. One slider now moves all
three games.

There is also a Steady brightness in the seat option for ODST: looking down
at a dark dashboard fills the game's light meter with a big dark surface, which
makes its auto-exposure ramp the whole scene. This holds it steady while you're
seated.

Install

Replace all three files, including halomccvr.cfg. Do not keep your old
config.

There is no migration step, so any setting your old file doesn't contain
silently falls back to a built-in default rather than the shipped value. The
worst offender is fit_desktop_window, whose built-in default is off while the
shipped config turns it on — keeping an old config can cap your headset frame
rate. 0.3.3 adds the entire first-person vehicle block, including a starting
position for every ODST and Reach seat, which an older config has no equivalent
for at all.

If you want your own tuning back: copy your old halomccvr.cfg somewhere safe,
install the new one, then re-apply your preferences through the F1 menu.

Full install steps are in MANUAL-README.txt inside the ZIP and in the
README. Both the Steam and
the Microsoft Store / Xbox app (Game Pass) editions use this same download, and
neither needs any game file renamed.

Windows security software may flag unsigned injection-based VR mods. Download
only from the official release, verify the hashes, and allow only the two
release binaries rather than disabling security software globally.

Still broken

  • Microsoft Store / Game Pass: MCC freezes for about nine seconds on the first
    loading screen, every launch. That's MCC's own loop, not the mod, and not a
    crash. Wait it out.
  • Reach: hud_curvature and hud_vertical_offset have no effect.
  • ODST: the first captioned opening cutscene can be black. Skip that one scene
    once — don't keep skipping or you'll miss the working drop sequence.
  • MCC can hold on to several game modules after you switch titles. If a level
    drops you back to the menu, fully close and restart MCC.
  • Broader co-op, headset and long-session coverage is still needed.
