The first public release of NOLF2 VR, a source-level VR conversion of No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way. Full 6DoF, motion controls, the gun in your hand. No head-aiming.

What you need

  • Windows 10 or 11 and a PC VR headset with an OpenXR runtime (Virtual Desktop, SteamVR or Meta Quest Link). Tested on Quest 3 via Virtual Desktop.
  • Your own copy of No One Lives Forever 2, patched to 1.3. Built on the English (UK) CD release with the official 1.3 patch; any retail copy updated to 1.3 should work. Copies are available from My Abandonware.

No game files are included.

Installing

  1. Download NOLF2-VR-0.1.0.zip below and unzip it. You get a folder called VR.
  2. Put the VR folder inside your NOLF2 folder, next to GAME.REZ.
  3. Start your VR runtime and put the headset on.
  4. Double-click Play NOLF2 VR.bat in the VR folder.

Nothing else to install. Your normal NOLF2 isn't changed; VR keeps its own settings and saves in the VR folder.

Once in game, stand (or sit) as you'll play and hold both stick clicks for a second to set your height. Settings are in Options > VR.
(some controls may conflict with clicking sticks, if you get stuck in an adjustment mode backing out to the menu will fix it)

Features

  • Stereo 3D with 6DoF head tracking, true world scale, standing or seated play, and crouching for real
  • Motion-controlled guns: aim where the gun points, with every weapon's fit tuned (adjustable in the headset)
  • Gloved hands with finger tracking, and a two-handed grip for steadier aim
  • Reload by hand: drop the magazine, grab a fresh one from over your shoulder, slot it in, rack the slide
  • Throw grenades, bananas and coins by hand; swing swords to hit; raise scopes to your eye
  • Weapon ring, health on your wrist like a watch, ammo on the gun, and the HUD on a floating panel
  • Drive the snowmobile with both hands on the handlebars; turn freely on scripted rides
  • Cutscenes in 3D around you or on a flat screen
  • Smooth or snap turning, a comfort vignette, left-handed mode and a choice of walking stick
  • A cheats page with level select
  • All weapon aims can be adjusted by clicking the left stick in and using instructions shown in the top left. This adjustment also works for scope placement, magazine location/rotation, and snowmobile handlebar location.

Known issues

  • In 3D cutscenes you can sometimes see things the original camera hid (characters' idle poses off-screen and so on). Switch to the flat screen in Options > VR > Cutscenes if it bothers you.
  • The Tommy gun occasionally draws long tracer streaks.
  • In left-handed mode, the help text in the gun-adjust mode still names the right-handed buttons.
  • The snowmobile has double handle bars, I'll fix this soon. Still wip on the cockpit view for this.

Problems?

Run Check VR.bat to test your headset connection without the game. When reporting a bug, please attach the logs from the VR folder: vr_game.log, xrbridge.log, and any crash_*.txt / crash_*.dmp.
