F.E.A.R. VR v0.1.2 — GOG update
- VR subtitles: readable dialogue captions below the center of your view. Enable them and adjust Subtitle Size under Options > VR Settings > Guidance Cards.
- Closed-fist melee: empty hands can strike enemies, glass, and planks with the fingers closed, using the same physical melee behavior as open hands.
- Independent explosion shake: Comfort & Movement > Explosion / Effects Shake lets you keep explosion/environmental shake while disabling Damage Camera Motion, or turn each off separately.
- Optional wrist UI: Immersion & Interaction > Wrist HUD hides the wrist display. It defaults to Yes and stays independent of immersion presets.
- Bad Water progression: fixes gaze-triggered sequences so they follow where you look in VR.
Includes the ladder progression and pistol support-hand fixes from v0.1.1.
