Setup

Prerequisites

• Single Player Tarkov (SPT) Installation: Make sure you have a working copy of SPT installed.
• SteamVR: The mod requires SteamVR to support VR hardware.

Installation Steps

1. Ensure SPT is up to date: Make sure you have the latest version of SPT installed on your system.
2. Download the latest release: On the right side of this page (if on GitHub), download the latest release from the "Releases" section.
3. Navigate to SPT's root directory: This should contain the SPT.Launcher, SPT.Server files, and the BepInEx folder.
4. Extract the downloaded files: Merge the folders from the release with the folders in the SPT installation.
5. Launch SteamVR: Ensure that SteamVR is running and your headset is connected before launching the game.
6. Launch the game through the SPT Launcher.

Uninstalling

To uninstall the mod, go to your SPT installation and remove the BepInEx/plugins/sptvr/SPT-VR.dll file, which will stop the game from launching in VR. To reinstall it, simply drag the .dll file back into the directory.

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.

For reference my specs -

RTX 3080 10GB

32GB of ram

Ryzen 5 7600x

NVME SSD

1. 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
2. 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
3. Install VRPerfKit - https://github.com/RavenSystem/VRPerfKit_RSF/releases
4. Open the .yml file in notepad for perfkit and change renderscale to like 30
5. 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)
6. 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
7. 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.
8. 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.

FAQ

What controllers and headsets are supported?

The mod supports most VR headsets. The following controllers work out of the box:

• Quest 2/3
• Valve Index
• Vive

If your controller isn’t working, configure the control scheme through SteamVR bindings.

Does this work with the non-SPT Escape From Tarkov?

No, using this mod with the official version of Escape From Tarkov can result in a ban.

Does it support FIKA?

Yes, it supports FIKA. VR players will appear as non-VR players in multiplayer. Experimental support currently, it's not very stable.

Are other mods compatible with the VR mod?

Several mods have been confirmed to work. However, mods that add a new UI may not work, new guns might be missing features, and some graphics mods may cause issues. Please remove all incompatible mods before reporting any bugs.

Current list of known compatible mods:

• FIKA
• Amands Graphics
• Swag + Donuts
• SAIN
• EFTApi Disabled for now
• Waypoints
• Declutterer
• Questing Bots
• BigBrain

Do I need to buy this mod?

No, the mod is free, and the source code is open-source.

Development Environment Setup

If you wish to make your own changes to the mod or want to check it out for any purpose, follow the steps below:

1. Clone the Repository: This can either be done by downloading the source code from the GitHub page or using the command below:
   Code

   git clone https://github.com/cybensis/SPT-VR.git

2. Open it in your IDE: I've only ever used Visual Studio for development, so I would recommend using that. Opening the .sln file will open Visual Studio, which should already be configured to build without issue.
3. Make your changes and build: After making your changes, to test them simply go to the Build dropdown menu at the top of Visual Studio and select Build Solution.
4. Add the build to your SPT installation: After building the mod, you should find the new file under bin/Debug/TarkovVR.dll or bin/Release/TarkovVR.dll depending on whether you've built a debug or release version. Then, in your SPT installation, replace the BepInEx/plugins/sptvr/SPT-VR.dll file with your new one and you should be good to go.

Hey there sorry for the late reply. Currently the windows mixed reality controllers don't have support added, the only issue being that controller bindings aren't configured yet, but if you still want to go the extra mile, you can try settings the bindings yourself through the SteamVR menu

Quote from BigShit

i tried to add my own custom bindings but they didnt register for some reason

I think the main thing is getting the poses setup so the movements of your controllers work in SPT-VR then you can see if the buttons are working when interacting with the main menu with the laser pointer.

I can't remember how to set it up exactly but it's in the SteamVR bindings menu, there should be something for posing and I think you need to set the left/right hand skeleton or pose to each controller respectively

Quote from ForTheWorthy

I'm having this issue where my controller seems to be stuck at my feet facing a certain axis and it won't actually track to select menus or anything. When I open the steamvr menu it tracks normally and I can select things. . I'm assuming I'm dumb and missing a setting somewhere, if anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be great.

It sounds like the bindings for your controllers aren't setup or registering, are you also using the windows mixed reality controllers? Refer to the comment I posted above about setting the poses to get the controllers mapped to the in game hands, hopefully that'll fix the issue you're having

• Fixed most of the hands and weapon jittering
• Weapon should no longer move positions when entering two handed mode
• Hands should now line up better with your controllers when a weapon is equipped
• Added a toggle for hands only mode that removes the arms in the VR settings tab
• Added a toggle to hide the legs in the VR settings tab
• Fixed a lot of the object culling issues so now nothing nearby should be culled and walls or ceilings won't be see through like on interchange, looks much better but there's a small hit to performance
• Added snap turn option
• Adding graphics setting for different distant shadow methods
• Improved VR settings menu layout

Release V1.0.2 - Update to SPT 3.10 and some small improvements

I was previously working on getting a left handed mode as well as adding some more motion sickness support options but decided to put that on the back burner for a little bit as SPT 3.10 released. This update doesn't add anything special and might break some stuff I missed but for the most part things appear to be working. Below is a list of changes and known bugs/isssues:

This update doesn't add anything special and might break some stuff I missed but for the most part things appear to be working. Below is a list of changes and known bugs/isssues:

Improvements

• Updated to SPT 3.10 including support for transit
• You can now play the game in flatscreeen mode without removing the install files if no headset is picked up by steamvr
• Finally fixed the position of the right hand laser pointer
• Fixed some issues with guns in the hideout
• Fixed issue with using multiple of the same grenade causing issues
• Improved positioning of grenades to VR controller
• Slightly improved grenade accuracy

Known Bugs

• The BTR is enterable if you look at the door, and you can use the menu in the BTR but the camera positioning is kind of off and selecting the talk to driver menu option doesn't do anything at the moment
• Some really nice clouds were added in the updated version of Tarkov but unfortunately I have not found a way to get them rendering correctly in VR, so at the moment they are disabled. If anyone wants to help with this please let me know!!

SPT-VR 1.0.3

This release fixes the bug with scopes not working caused by changing from SPT 3.9 to 3.10, please note some scopes are still not configured and will still not work but the majority of them should still be working, and the variable zoom feature I implemented is also not working now, but will be fixed.
