Important:

SteamVR has had an update as of 5/6/2025. Which caused Reshade to break a lot of VR games. Reshade has released an update 5/29/2025 which fixes it, download the latest version if you use Reshade.

Install VRAMCleaner - VRAM Cleaner

Some known issues in update 1.0.9

• Random crash when going into inspect window while in/after leaving hideout
• Freeze when clicking "build" at bottom right on main menu (just press back button, should take you out)
• New Fog appears in buildings, this will probably never be fixed due to limitations in what's possible
• Fog is still early, so it may not be great sometimes. I just wanted something to make up for it instead of removing it completely

Latest update grenade guide:

• Pull grenade out, same way you always would from quickslot radial menu
• Hold trigger to pull pin
• Yeet the grenade by letting go of trigger as you do the throwing motion

You can throw grenades hard, light, under hand them, chuck them hard like a baseball, lob them high, anything. Works like a native VR game.

Will this be updated for SPT 4.0?

It already has been, it'll be available once SPT 4.0 goes live.

Performance Guide!

So, there's a lot of people that think this mod is impossible to play and actually have decent performance. That is not true unless you're going to streets of course which runs horrible even on flatscreen. So here's what I suggest to get the best performance as someone that has been using this mod since before it released publicly.

First off, SPTVR is best played with a direct wired connection to your PC. If you use a quest or some other headset and are trying to do wireless streaming, you will not have a good time with VRAM usage. If you have a card with a lot of VRAM, go for it, if not, then you absolutely need a wired connection.

For reference my specs -

RTX 3080 10GB

32GB of ram

Ryzen 5 7600x

NVME SSD

1. Install VRAMCleaner - VRAM Cleaner
2. Set all graphics settings to lowest/off except textures, shadows, anisotropic, and LOD/visibility (set those to whatever you want) AA should always be set to FXAA, nothing else works
3. Check boxes on graphics settings at bottom, Grass shadows, high quality color, and streets low quality textures. Everything else unchecked, volumetric lighting is your preference
4. Install VRPerfKit - https://github.com/RavenSystem/VRPerfKit_RSF/releases (may not be needed when using VRAMCleaner)
5. (Skip if not using VRPerfkit) Open the .yml file in notepad for perfkit and change renderscale to like 30
6. (Skip if not using VRPerfkit) In SteamVR settings set resolution for tarkov to something really high, I set mine to about 400% with my valve index (this step and 4 can be adjusted based on the VRAM you have available on your graphics card and which headset you use, you may be able to go higher, my graphics card only has 10GB of VRAM)
7. Learn how to use a headless fika client, there's videos and guides online (this is the biggest improvement you can get in performance) even running the headless on your own PC will be a pretty good help, if you do run it on your own PC, you should have at minimum 32GB of RAM
8. Install a bot spawner mod such as MOAR or ABPS, these are also big helps to performance because the main killer of performance in SPT is the AI. These mods are much better at managing spawns.
9. Last thing I'd suggest which may not apply for many people, I disable my 4k monitor whenever I play which seems to help a bit.

Can't get the quest 2 controls to activate anything on the main menu, not sure if I am missing anything or not but I tried rebinding and it doesn't seem to do anything.

Hey, how do you see time left in a raid and exfils?

Is this information actual?: "Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I did neglect to add this to the description, but if you look at the watch on your left wrist it will bring up the list of extracts and the time left, and the underside of your left wrist will show your health and stance"

I have never been more disapointed to be a leftie in my life

Hello All,

First off, this mod is awesome and really appreciate all the time you put into this! I have been some issues when launching the game and haven't been able to play in VR yet. I did a fresh instillation of SPT, extracted SPTvr into SPT's folder, along with Vramcleaner, linked to SteamVr through my Quest 3s, and launched the game from my PC, launches, but its only on a black screen and thats it. Am I missing something? I think it may be a steamvr issue but wanted to see if anyone else was running into this issue or if there is a fix.

Update: Got the game to launch! I did not connect to steam link prior to launching and it launched, but now it will not connect to my VR. Ran into a dead end there too, but to give more context, my game also freezes on [Client Request] /singleplayer/bosstypes. Don't know if that helps but if anyone finds anything plz help me!!

I've tried searching but couldn't find anything, I have a Vive Cosmos, game loads fine and gets to the menu but for some reason its not detecting my controllers, the laser is on the ground so to speak but no hands or pointers, checked with other games and made sure steam VR is up to date, still no dice in SPT. Anyone else having this issue or know a fix? cheers in advance (first time on VR Tarky)

Incredible work!

Anyone knows a mod that shows map or extraction points in VR?

Game Panel Hud is not working for me unfortunately.

Great MOD. just got in the VR space and been enjoying all the games. i have one request that will make this MOD work even better. I am looking for a Sway removal mod to stop all the weapon way. it makes combat at medium to long distances very difficult to hit anything.

if anyone knows a mod where I can achieve No Sway it will make the VR experience flawwless.

Hi, can you tell me if I can play with a friend who uses a PC and I use VR?

Huge thanks for the mod, it works and its playable even on my laptop (with reprojection)!

So far I've noticed only a few problems:
1) Unable to use shooting range in hideout. It seems there is no way to interact with it.
2) Troubles using paid extracts: I've manage to use car extract on Ground Zero, but it didn't work on interchange. I've had label saying pay to extract, but clicking on it didn't work.
3) In hideout bottom bar which shows existing and buildable constructions is difficult to scroll. Dragging it works only sometimes and clicking on edge items to scroll is a bit tricky.

Any advice on the above is appreciated.

Thanks again for making this possible.

Any chance to make it run compatible with openxr and functional controllers? I can open it in openxr mode but i don't have controllers. I hate SteamVR and i don't use it. Performance wise, is also better in openxr

you can NOT play this on 8 gb of vram.

my ryzen 7 7700x went 100%, 32 gb of ram went 100%, ssd flatlined, gpu that normally runs streets at 120 fps, max settings, went from 24% usage to fucking 100.

2060 super TI is melting

Hey guys, what VR set do u use to play SPT with this mod?
I am about to buy it only because of this mod    

Hey there! I'm having a hard time getting this to work. The menua runs smooth as butter up until i load into the actual match and then everything goes to crap. It will drop down to 4 frames, blocks all over the place. not really sure what to do. I have a 3060ti and a ryzen 7 5700x3d and using virtual desktop with steamvr. any suggestions? thank you

you need a video for the mod page :p

Hi, is it possible for you to make it so that I can play in VR but still use the keyboard controls? Or do they just automatically still work and I just need to have the headset on? Because I prefer the PC controls but I want to have the immersion and usefulness of VR's field of view

My brain is about to explode. SPT... in VR. I might cry. Y'all are amazing. I know there will probably be bugs, but dang it I cannot wait to try this out.

You don't get enough credit for what you do, you're doing gods work as far as I'm concerned! I LOVE this mod.

anyone here know what mods conflict or cause a raid startup error with FIka and this together? I've been troubleshooting with my client mods and I lost on what's causing it.

amazing mod, two things if you don't mind me asking:

1. Is there a way to swap between sights if you have a red dot and an optic? Controls only show changing reticles and optimizing zoom so I haven't figured it out yet.

2. Controls are a bit buggy for left hand, pressing A/X is very delayed which makes it impossible to open interaction menus for weapons and repairing armor. Is there a way to keep right handed keybinds when swapping to left hand?

I didn't try this mod just yet, I was wondering if there are plans to make the reload system more manual like Half Alyx, Alien Rogue Incursion, etc? Where you have to actually load the magazine into your gun, pull the charging handle, etc.

For everbody struggling with the extreme aliasing, that's what helped me to make it more bearable:

1. Switching off hbao and ssr. On sunny weather they massively increased the aliasing ladders

2. Turning in-game sharpness to 0. Further decreased ladders

3. Increasing steamvr render resolution. From my experience (rtx 5070ti), 250-350% is a sweet spot. Increasing the resolution up to 250% gave a significant boost to visual quality, while after 350% the graphics increse becomes unnoticeable

4. For oculus 3: setting encode resolution width to 3600 (maybe I should go for even higher numbers here): before that, I was experiencing severe visual glitches while in high steamvr render resolution, seems like the vr headset struggled to decode the image

5. Oculus debug tool -> distortion curvature low, link sharpening off. High distortion curvature makes the image worce at the outer half of your fov, link sharpening, well, it sharpens the already oversharpened image

P.s. note for the developer: I've noticed that in default settings (which give a bad image), the picture inside the optical scope is actually pretty good and doesn't have ladders at all. I know that in-scope image renders slightly differently (lighting seems to be slightly different), maybe that's worth digging in

Hey, thanks Matsix for picking this up. Just recently started checking flat screen VR out. No issues with installation game booted in VR just fine.

Might wanna add small mention to guide to run default Tarkov controls. Might be obvious thing to others and even I figured that out pretty quickly. But yeah movement didn't work with my ported controls from live version. As a lefty I always need to change something in flat screen games.

Issue I have is that I can't get that radial quick wheel to work. It's supposed to be hold left grip at my chest? At first I thought it was my physical plate carrier that restricted me getting controller close enough, but didn't work even without it. No haptic feedback near the chest either, if there should be one. I'm using Index controllers.
Also is there way to items to quick slots from your stash? How?

Other issue is that visuals have so much noise past past certain distance that it is hard to make out anything. But that has been my experience with most of VR stuff so nothing new there. There is just more clutter in Tarkov than in regular VR game so it seems bit worse.

Just updating to let you know I'm still getting random crashes with FIKA using a headless within 5-10 minutes. I have yet to test SPT only but I'm imaging the stability there is a lot better. For future reference would you prefer us to open tickets on github with crash logs or report here?

Is it possible to use this mod with mouse and keyboard and just a VR Headset or I gotta use the controllers?

I deleted the bepinex plugin and the tarkov data it came with since the game just wouldn't work smoothly for me and now my game just wont open is there a fix?

Thanks for keeping this alive buddy, its really appreciated.

I've taken over development on this mod and I am updating it to 3.11. Currently it's fully ported, I'm just working on fixing bugs that came up with the new version of Tarkov. When I do have a release ready just know, for the first release I'm only getting it back to the state it was in 3.10. First release won't have any fixes for bugs that were in the 3.10 version. After release I'll look resolving more bugs.

(one thing I do want to fix for the first release though is Fika support, it broke with the 3.10 update but I know a lot of people used it and this mod is best played with a Fika dedi server for performance)

EDIT 4/24:

Just an update on the status of the mod, I've fixed a majority of nulls that were being thrown for random things. Fika is now working also. It's pretty close to being ready for release, sorry I was expecting to finish this sooner but I got stuck with a really annoying issue on the edit build/modding screen. It was causing a freeze and I was going crazy trying to figure out why because it worked fine in older versions and the code hasn't been changed. Ended up having to completely re-do the edit build and modding interface patches.

Just having some people test it a bit. I want to do a full once-over on all the UI and stuff too to make sure it's all working properly. I know one thing that still needs to be fixed is the add offer interface for flea market, shouldn't be hard though.

You guys can get SPT3.10.5 from Chinese Modding Community.You can find every version of SPT on it.

for those who are saying that you can downgrade you actually can using a couple of tricks.

By going to the pinned "SPT" mod in this website you can go to the spt github,
going to the releases tab in the github will show you all previous versions of spt.
Now clicking on the direct download link will take you to a "Error 404" page and the trick is to copy that page's link and go the wayback machine you can look up snapshots of that page and hope that the snapshots work.
And now hopefully you have the SPT files on your computer now just make sure your on the right version of EFT and just follow the manual instructions.
