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.

FPS/Graphics Guide

NOTE: Keep in mind these settings were based on my personal performance and may be very inaccurate. Additionally, messing around with some settings in-raid can cause visual glitches, so be aware of this before reporting any bugs.

In-game graphics guide

• Resolution likely doesn't matter much as it's always going to render to the quality of your headset or what SteamVR is set to, but lowering the resolution may net some frames.
• Anti-aliasing should be off or on FXAA - No FPS difference noticed between the two, and other options cause visual glitches.
• Resampling should be off/1x, otherwise it may cause visual glitches.
• DLSS and FSR don't work properly, so turn them both off.
• HBAO - Looks better but takes a massive hit on performance - off gets about a 10-20 FPS increase.
• SSR - Low drops frames by around 2-5, ultra by about 5ish. I don't personally notice any visual improvements but if you have it on, go to ultra.
• Anisotropic filtering - No real FPS difference.
• Sharpness at 1-1.5 - Any visual gain falls off after around 1.5+.
• POST FX - Turning it off gains about 8-10 FPS in some situations, or does nothing in others.

Additional FPS guide

The VR Performance Toolkit (vrperfkit) can net about 10-20 extra FPS with the default configuration at the expense of some graphical fidelity, which could help people with less powerful computers.

FAQ

What controllers and headsets are supported?

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

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.

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

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
