Other than ROE for VR, the main Doom 3 game I was able to finish with no bugs. Not sure what you guys are waiting for. Just did it wirelessly too .

Me neither, but the DEVs must now ...

If they say they'll not release nothing beyong the 0.21, then I'll give it a try, but they say it's comming

Doom 3 BFG VR is currently ranked 57 on this list. I bet the next release will push it back near the top.

Also is it possible to join as a tester, download the source, compile it, and find reproducible bugs to help the developers out?

I think he means the Valve rumors of a Half Life 2 VR prequel. https://youtu.be/tBFnoVr0_ck

It was an update from of the developpers of the HLVR mod, By update I mean some news about it, but I don't remember the details now ...

Looking at the commit history, this is definitely one of the slower times. Thank you to the developers for their great work, and I still wouldn't be surprised if it gets a heart beat again. It can happen with open source / passion projects.

It's been slow for sure - sorry. I'm still working on merging Carl's dual wielding code with my hand interaction code. It got messy ( translation - I made a mess ) so trying to clean it up. I also have about as little free time as I've ever had, so it's been tough to work on. It'll get there though!

I beat Doom 3 BFG with your mod a long time ago. LOVED IT!!! I'd love to beat it again once you add the latest stuff.

Any progress updates?

Let the man live, there's as much of an explanation that's needed before he ever releases it.

Thanks again, Koz.

Thanks, I wish Bethesda would just pay this guy a bunch of money to finish this mod :) This is way better then Doom VFR.

This was the first AAA game that received VR support, by Carmack himself, back in 2012. Carmack didn't finish the job because Zenimax CEO was a dick, Oculus offered him 4% of their company just for letting Carmack finishing the game, he didn't accept.

Later in 2014, when facebook bought Oculus, that 4% was worth 120 millions ...

Robert A. Altman is still the CEO, so I guess if someone speaks him about VR on Doom 3, he will get fired instantly xD

Around the end of next month, my schedule ( which has been insane for the last year+ ) should be normalizing. I'll finally have time to get back into this!

KozGit avatar Aug 07 '19 23:08 KozGit

Awesome I'm super excited. I love this doom3 mod :)

Doom 3 VR and Skyrim VR are still my two favorite VR games ever.

I have an Index and I'm super excited for the next version of this mod. Any news on progress? Any test builds we can help you find bugs on?

I was like that 2 years ago ... I'm still the same.

Koz and Carl have done a really awsome job on this VR version, but didn't release some very cool stuff. I have compile and release a version (0.021c) with almost Koz's and Carl's last work on this mod. But I have removed dual weiding, because it wasn't as finished as other features. Found them here : https://github.com/NPi2Loup/DOOM-3-BFG-VR/releases (It's a patch, install 0.21 from KozGit first)

NPi2Loup avatar Feb 14 '20 14:02 NPi2Loup

People read what you downlad, 0.21c has to be used together with 0.21. Do not try to use it directly with game, as I did... :)

BrziJoe avatar Feb 14 '20 16:02 BrziJoe

I add a zip with all data.

NPi2Loup avatar Feb 14 '20 17:02 NPi2Loup

Thanks for doing this! For what it's worth, there is more coming. I'm leaving the corporate grind the 2nd week of March, and taking some well earned time for myself. I'm already looking forward to working on this again :)

KozGit avatar Feb 22 '20 00:02 KozGit

Awesome !!!!! 3 talented people working on this now :)

cercata avatar Feb 22 '20 14:02 cercata

I have just played the game and the 2 expansións, and OMG, this deserves to be published, the same way than Black mesa.

This is awesome, I guess far beyond the expectations of Carmack when it worked to making the game a Rift Launch game, better than Native VR games like Residet Evil 7, better than VR remasters like Borderlands 2 ...

I don't know if you guys still want to add more faetures to it, but it's already excelent, they only thing for launching it as a comercial product would be eliminate the frequent crashes, IMHO
