Version 1.5.0 supports Mafia: Definitive Edition!
🕑 Added 2021-09-10 17:36:11 +0000 UTCAs teased, here is a new release of my R.E.A.L. mod, adding support for Mafia: Definitive Edition!
And a special gift: VR YouTuber extraordinaire Beardo Benjo has agreed to do a preview video of the mod!! You can watch it above, and don't forget to subscribe to his channel for more fun with VR and irreverent beard humor :-)
The other two games in the Trilogy will come later; I will probably need at least a few weeks each. Judging by the progress I made with my framework, which is still in its infancy, I can estimate that when things settle down a bit I might be able to release a new game each month, on average. Of course some games might be easier, and others will take more time, especially huge open world games.
Mod installation has been streamlined somewhat. Install the game and run it at least once in 2D, to create your user profile. Then download the mod zip from the attachment at the bottom of this post (an updated README will come later) and extract it to the game folder, where mafiadefinitiveedition.exe is. Find RealConfig.bat in the game folder and run it. It will ask for administrator permissions: this happens only once when you install the mod, and it's a batch file, so everybody can verify exactly what it does.
The installer will automatically fix the folder permissions (no need to do it manually anymore), and it will initialize the game's graphics options to values that are known to work properly with the mod. At this point you can launch the game again, and this time it should start in VR.
The first thing you might want to do is go to the options menu and adjust the resolution to your liking. For Mafia I directly modded the custom resolutions into the game, so it's much easier to choose a proper square resolution that works well with your headset. The installer sets a default of 2160x2160, but if you have a powerful video card you can push it to 2700x2700 or higher. On an RTX 3090 I get very good frame rates up to 2970x2970 or so. There are also two standard resolutions (1280x720 and 1920x1080) but they are not meant for VR, I just left them in there in case people want to briefly switch to 2D for a problematic mission or whatever.
Gameplay: everything in the game should work properly (Story mode, Free Ride, Carcyclopedia). Cutscenes are in full 3D with proper FOV, and let me tell you that it took forever to fix them. But it was worth it. The immersion you get from being in the scene, instead of viewing it on a flat screen, makes a world of difference to me. This can be seen very easily with Mafia, by the way, because in this game several cutscenes are pre-rendered, and thus in 2D (unfortunately the entire lengthy intro sequence, until you finally get control of your cab, is pre-rendered). Having some cutscenes in 2D and some in VR makes the difference in emotional involvement quite obvious. A negative note is that this game is much less polished than monsters like GTA V or RDR2, so for instance during cutscenes you will see a lot of weird stuff in parts of the virtual set that were not supposed to be visible by the scripted camera, like floating cigars that smoke themselves, missing car doors and house roofs and whatnot :-D
Game options: CONTROLS> AIM ASSIST must be OFF, and if you want to tweak the graphics options you can (although in this game they all kind of look the same), but DISPLAY> DEPTH OF FIELD and DISPLAY> MOTION BLUR must always be OFF. Unfortunately Mafia: DE has compulsory TAA antialiasing, which never looks great in VR. At times, especially during cutscenes and in certain places like Vincenzo's room, you will notice shimmering around characters and on problematic objects like fences or window panes. That's due to the fact that TAA doesn't work properly with stereo rendering. I might be able to fix it in the future like I did for RDR2, but there are no guarantees, and in any case I can't say that I find it too annoying during normal gameplay.
For a proper, retro experience, reminiscing of times when games were actually designed to be somewhat hard to beat, I also recommend setting GAME> DIFFICULTY to CLASSIC and perhaps even GAME> TRANSMISSION to MANUAL. I dare you to beat "the race" with this combo!
The game is best played with a gamepad (as usual with my mods, motion controls are not implemented or supported). KB/M is also possible, but higher resolutions will make it hard to navigate the menus with a mouse because the game window will be larger than the screen.
If the camera rotating by itself to follow the character makes you queasy, that behavior can be disabled by setting GAME> ON-FOOT FOLLOW CAMERA to OFF. I also use GAME> VEHICLE CAMERA PITCH = LOW, but it doesn't make a lot of difference. Speaking of camera: all the Mafia games have always been in third person, so the camera defaults to being behind your character or following your car. Only while driving, the game also offers a hood camera, which looks kind of ridiculous in VR. I modded it to place it behind the steering wheel, and the resulting effect feels much more natural, almost like proper first-person driving. To cycle to this in-car camera press Left D-Pad when you get control of your cab.
A final note for YouTubers and streamers: I'm aware that my RDR2 mod was hard to capture on video, because the game was hogging all the GPU resources for itself and precious little GPU time was left for video capture and encoding. So, with Mafia I'm exposing a user control that you can find in the mod overlay under the MDE1 tab, called "GPU Throttling". It defaults to 80%. Lower values will throttle the GPU less, giving you more power and thus higher VR frame rates, but the rest of your system might feel very sluggish, especially when you're pushing higher resolutions. Moving the slider further to the right will limit the GPU resources used by the game, which might hurt your VR frame rate a little but should hopefully make for smoother capture and streaming.
Enjoy your life as a Mafioso!!
UPDATE: 1st person mod (don't use it). There is a Script Hook-based 1st person mod on the web, and some people are asking whether it's compatible with mine—or have already messed up their game by trying to install it. I discovered it too when I started working on the game, and before releasing I did try my best to make it work together with mine. As things stand now, however, I definitely recommend NOT using it. You've been warned :-)
The first person mod does three things basically: 1. it replaces the character model with a headless one, 2. it changes the vehicle camera offsets stored in the .sds files, and 3. it uses Script Hook to force the on-foot camera so close to the character that it looks like you're in first person.
1. is a good idea, but unfortunately the game only has headless models for a couple of outfits, so I decided against it because it's weird that you're dressed one way when in third person and another way (uncorrelated with the mission or your Free Ride choices) in first.
For 2. I apply custom camera offsets directly in my mod, and unlike those supplied by the other mod they are adjustable in the overlay, so changing the .sds files is no longer necessary (and it conflicts with my mod, resulting in a camera position somewhere in the backseat).
Finally, 3. is the biggest problem, in part because Script Hook breaks some of the adjustments that I did in my mod, but mostly because putting the on-foot camera so close to the character makes it act all weird, as at times (quite often during combat) the game gets confused into thinking that the camera is on the opposite side of the character, and so the camera begins to spin wildly. Also, stick rotation changes from continuous to stuttery.
As you know, above all I strive to preserve the original beauty of the games I mod, and as it stands now the first person camera just ruins the experience. If you really must try it despite my advice, at least don't install the tables.sds file that comes with it or your in-vehicle camera will be messed up. And if you already installed the 1st person mod and now want to get rid of it, you can either delete the game folder completely and start from scratch, or carefully perform the following steps when the game is not running: delete dinput8.dll from the game folder to disable Script Hook; have your launcher verify the game files, in order to restore the original tables; extract my mod again from the original zip; run RealConfig.bat.

Hey Luke, great job! I tried running Mafia DE after installing your Mod and it simply doesn't run. I tried everything I could but to no avail. Mafia 2, 3 & RDR2 work fine. what can you suggest?
LukeRoss
Hi and welcome! Please try this: using Notepad, edit the first line of RealConfig.bat and change it from @ECHO OFF to @ECHO ON Then save the file and run it again. Before closing the window, copy its contents and either put them on Pastebin.com or send them to me in a private message
Hey Luke, I am having trouble getting the RealConfig Bat file to work. I have launched the game in 2D even played around a bit. But the RealConfig Bat keeps telling me that I have not run the game before.
LukeRoss
Unfortunately there's no fix for now, parallel proj needs to be on
I am running a pimax 5KXR and this is great!!! @Gramsci: When the mod is in oculus mode the performance is better than through steamvr. To be able to use oculus mode steamvr needs to be closed and mafia launched through pitool ovr-launcher. For example create shortcut containing: "C:\Program Files\Pimax\Plugin\OCSupport\OVR_Launcher_x64.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia Definitive Edition\mafiadefinitiveedition.exe" starting in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia Definitive Edition @LukeRoss for better performance parallel projections in pitool can be disabled, but then the in game map/radar starts to rotate back-and-forward really fast. I also notice this when I close one eye in VR. Is there a simple fix?( besides running game with parallel projections enabled)
God's love sent Jesus to save us, not judge us.
It looks different on a Pimax and Quest. I use it mainly on my 5k plus. It performs better, that I can use max resolution fairly well. Even on my 1070ti. But it looks better and clear even on low resolutions. Using Quest 2 it will not perform well on high resolutions. Basically I’m not having issues either on my Pimax or Quest 2. When I had a 3070, it performed badly. The 1070ti is actually better in my opinion.
Gramsci
why does this look like crap when I run it? and perform really badly, im using a 3080ti and pimax 8kx, everything is shimmering the 3d is not right and it looks way lower resolution than it should and is running at very low fps
LukeRoss
Comment with a link to a pirated version of the game was removed. Illegal versions are NOT supported. Buy the original game and support the developers!
LukeRoss
If you have the Steam version, there is currently an issue where Steam hijacks the controller so hard that input doesn't reach the mod at all. It should be fixed in the upcoming release, but in the meantime you can use the Pause/Break key on the keyboard
Carlos
Question, in MDE how can I access the mod overlay? I press the left and right triggers at the same time while in pause just like in RDR2, but nothing happens.
The Merote
It runs very good on my GTX 1080, how much RAM are you using?
ok my bad. Didn't see the additional resolutions (Res 1890X1890 is working great on a GTX1080, Airlink and Oculus Quest1. 7700k and 16GB RAM) . Getting 70 fps when playing MafiaDE at low settings now. RDR2 runs at 60fps at low settings. Would be great to see some minimum specs for these mods.
The Merote
And it looks great on Quest 2
LukeRoss
The Quest 2 should work better than the Vive! However, you should not use SteamVR: select Auto or Oculus in the mod overlay
Does the mod support Oculus Quest 2? I just changed from a HTC Vive to the Quest 2 and noticed violent flickering, so wasn't sure if I have to change settings or its not compatible.
LukeRoss
Thank you Rusakko!!!
LukeRoss
That's an artefact of alternate eye rendering. I can fully compensate for it when you rotate your physical head, because the virtual camera is the center of rotation, but since this is a 3rd person game, when you turn with the stick the camera actually orbits Tommy, so the center of rotation is the character on the screen and not the camera itself. Which means that it cannot be properly compensated. People normally get used to it after a few minutes of gameplay and don't mind it anymore, but some users are more sensitive to it. You can make it better if you raise the refresh frequency of your headset (for models that allow it), or by switching to Mono rendering you can eliminate it completely.
Love the work being done here, Luke! Thank you! However, I'm having an issue in MAFIA with the mod, and wondering if it's just something that is "as it is," or if it shouldn't be like this. When I play the game, and STICK TURN (or the game turns me automatically), the background world is stuttery and the 3d makes me feel a little "cross-eyed," if that makes sense? When I just turn PHSYICALLY in VR, it doesn't do that, only when stick turn or game turn. I've played with all the settings, and made sure most recent graphics card driver updated. Should it NOT be doing that, and if so, any idea how I can fix it? Kind of hard to play it like this, as it gives me a headache, and have never seen anything like that in any other games before. Please advise - anyone who may be able to help. Thanks!
This is brilliant. Thank you.
LukeRoss
Hahaha, they are amazing games, but right now I'm knee deep in the Mafia trilogy :-D
WIG
Would far cry 3,4,5 (& possibly 6) be a good fit for your framework? They support dx11 but run on dunia. Ticks a lot of boxes based on your previous supported mods.
LukeRoss
You're the first person asking for lower resolution, everybody else wants MOAR! Kidding aside, hand-editing the xml file is the way to go if you need a custom resolution other than 1080x1080. Re: the aiming dot, can you upload your RealVR64.log from the Steam version to Pastebin.com? And while you're at it, also paste your modified settings file so I can check it
would you consider adding an option below the current low with just the resolution lowered to 800x800 like the gtav mod. I modified the setting by myself and it runs really good on my rx580. The only issue i'm still having even after switching to the steam version is the aim dot doesn't line up properly with the target.
LukeRoss
The download link is at the bottom of the post (that's the way the Patreon system works). As for the README, I'm sorry but I haven't yet had time to rewrite it for Mafia: however there is a full README for RDR2 and you can find it attached to every post that describes an RDR2 mod release. The latest one is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/version-1-4-4-54816122
LukeRoss
Awesome!!! Thanks for the appreciation and yes, those worlds feel so much more alive when seen in VR!
I hate to be that guy but when I sign up for something like this it would be very helpful to find the download link to the latest version on top of the page. And installation instructions should not be something a person has to dig for. No readmes in the RDR app. Tearing my hair out finding the installation instructions in here. A pretty simple thing, but frustrating.
Cazanu
these mods are amazing just got gta v vr and fully moded with other mods is soo much fun on a pimax 8kx and with a steering wheel,fun fun fun cant stop playing and admire every detail in the game in glorious 3d the city feels soo alive next im gonna try red dead 2 see how it goes.
LukeRoss
Thank you Andre!!
LukeRoss
Thanks!!! Yes, fixing each game this way takes a lot of work. It's not a "one size fits all" approach. Re: 1st person, if I find a technique that works well and does not make the camera stutter you guys will be the first to know :-D
Andre Warringa
Just finished it on Classic mode. Great experience, despite some frustrating gameplay moments :) Installing Mafia 2 now, waiting patiently for the VR mod :)
The Merote
Wow Luke you have done it again, its bloody amazing, stupid me I installed the First Person mod before reading, I had to completely re-install the game but now it runs great, a bit less demanding on my GTX1080 than RDR2. It can definitely be fully played in 3rd person, I would be interested to see what its like in 1st person, I wonder if there is a hack that doesn't interfere with your mod. Looking forward to Mafia 2&3, I tried Vorpx but it just doesn't cut it. I'm really starting to think if you your mod was a Vorpx replacer it would be a great day for the VR community but but I'm not sure how difficult and time consuming it is for you, did you have to do a lot to get Mafia working correctly? Also I dream of the day you make Witcher 3 compatible, I can dream :)
LukeRoss
The game is prone to freezes when loading assets, which seem to be more frequent around Valentine and if you have it installed on HDD. If you can, move the game to an SSD. I also implemented an Antifreeze workaround to try to alleviate the problem: for details see https://www.patreon.com/posts/version-1-4-2-54423108
LukeRoss
Since you mentioned HUB, I guess you're talking about RDR2 and not Mafia. You probably set your base window resolution to 2160x2160 and left the Resolution Scale to 5/2, resulting in a VR resolution of 5400x5400 which is too much for your video card. What you probably want is to leave your base window resolution to 1080x1080 and Resolution Scale to 5/2, which will give you a resolution of 2700x2700 that your card can sustain. Please refer to this post for a full explanation with lots of details: https://www.patreon.com/posts/54090413
LukeRoss
The double trigger gesture is disabled during gameplay: it's only active when the game is paused (map, menus, etc.) precisely to avoid the problem you're describing. With Mafia: DE there's only one mission where the double gesture was erroneously left enabled: "Better get used to it". It will be fixed in the next release. If you have the issue outside of that particular mission, I would like to know where, so I can check it and possibly fix it too.
Hoshi82
I just tried the mod but shooting is impossible with gamepad. Since you aim and shoot with left and right trigger, it's the same combination as opening the mod menu, so it's constantly popping up making it impossible to play Ok found the the overlaymodiefiers and set it to 0 :)
i7 10700k + 3080TI + Pimax 8kx,Hub image quality and resolution are 2160 * 2160, only 20-30fps. Is this normal?
Awesome mod and the experience in rdr2 is amazing. I have constant crashes though. I'm stuck at the Lenny in the \valentine bar mission. Gamr freezes and then quits, every time. I tried various presets down to low. and even tried switching to steamvr but nothing works. I have rtx 3080, 11700k, hp reverb g2, everything up to date, complete fresh install. Any ideas?
B A R O N
New game 'Severed Steel' in VR....Mmmmm!
I think you just need to copy the settings file to documents-rockstars games- rdr2- settings folder
Hello Luke, is there anyway we can do the mod installation without using the RealConfig.bat? My Windows 10 is not letting me open .bat files. Thank you so much for this.
LukeRoss
I observed the same thing. Looking through the windscreen is certainly a factor, but it seems to me that the hood camera (which I only move back to bring it behind the wheel) employs a slightly different color grading than the 3rd person camera.
Solomon Ginsberg
An unusual colour shift happens when changing cameras from 1st person in a car to 3rd person behind the car. The colours seem washed out in 1st person and more saturated in 3rd person. Is this caused by the windscreen possibly? Haven't made it to the open car race yet to confirm.
WIG
Mass effect Andromeda first person mod is amazing. No vr yet but wavebends mod makes such a big improvement to me seeing all the details makes me hope to play in vr one day.
LukeRoss
It's not my kind of game, but in any case I don't think the results would be very good. In soccer games the camera is very far away from the players, so the 3D effect and immersion would be almost nil (of course it would be a different story if first-person soccer games were a thing!)
Cercata
Hey guys, I hope you are trying it in 3rd person before trying mods ... it's nice !!!!! I prefer 1st person games in VR, but if the game itself was designed for 1st person ...
God's love sent Jesus to save us, not judge us.
This mod works excellent. At least first person works in vehicles. Those high resolution options are very fun. I tried every mod available for first person on foot with no success. Tried to re-center the camera to put me in the position of first person, some hint of success.
God's love sent Jesus to save us, not judge us.
Jesus loves you ! In my own opinion- Jesus is mankind's sole hope. https://youtu.be/D1zGo5jvwXM
LukeRoss
Thank you for the report and the kind words, Stuart!!!
LukeRoss
Thank you!! There is in fact another user having the same issue, it's still unclear why it happens. Could you please open a command prompt and paste exactly the following command: powershell "(new-object -COM Shell.Application).Namespace(0x05).Self.Path" just as it is, with the quotes and all, then press Enter. It should reply with the path to your Documents folder. Could you check if that works on your system?
Stuart
Alright alright... so... more testing with openvr_fsr and RDR2 running the optimised bat. 2430 x2430 60 FPS in town. It's Sharp Sharp, glass is clear... mindblowing
Stuart
Not sure if this has been tested or discussed here but I am having excellent results using the modified OpenVR DLL with AMD FidelityFX SuperResolution Upscaler from https://github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr. Using Version 1.1 in Mafia, I had to turn MIPbias to false in the mod cfg - but I left everything else as is. Running on 2430x2430 and it's sooooo freaking sharp now. I mean Dayyym much reduced fuzzies around things compared to before (some in motion still). 60 fps or thereabouts. Still tweaking the same mod in RDR2 and it runs without changing any settings in the default openvr_mod.cfg. You gotta try it Luke. Also Mafia...+ your mod is fantastic. I am having a blast. Take my money :) don't stop doin your thing! *gtx 2080ti, Valve index*

Your mods are literally the best. Really appreciate your work. Thanks man. I just want to say I am also experiencing the cannot install mod no profile created. I can confirm the hexadecimal data profile created by mafia in my documents. I have had zero problems with your mods. Not sure if you are already trying to fix this. I thought I would mention it because there is potentially more people having this issue. I tried all the stuff you said in the previous post. Fresh steam install as well. You are THE MAN!

I would be interested if it would be possible for you to make a soccer game in VR? if someone could make that possible then you, the only question is whether it would be possible at all? Fifa VR / Pro Evolution Soccer VR
LukeRoss
It should happen only during the mission "Better get used to it". It will be fixed in the next release
Hey I just have a question with the overlay. Since I prefer to play it on a gamepad (My Xbox controller) is there a way to turn the overlay off so I don't activate it with both triggers because it has happened several times now while I was playing/shooting I opened up the overlay and it was a bit bothering me. Thank you!
Hoshi82
Was wondering. Would Kingdom Come Deliverance possible with that mod?
LukeRoss
Hey John, great that it runs better for you! Strange about the dot though. I cannot reproduce the problem here: could you upload your RealVR64.log to pastebin.com so I can see if there's anything wrong?
The latest version made rdr2 run so much smoother than the previous release. The only issue I'm having is the targeting dot doesn't match up to where the enemies are, I have to aim to the left or right of them to hit them :( am I doing something wrong?
LukeRoss
Hi Hassan, welcome!! Did you follow the steps in the README exactly? The latest README for RDR2 is attached to this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/54816122
Hassan Habbak
RDR2 crashes for me with graphics out of memory. I am on reverb g2 with Nvidia 2080 super. It's my first time trying your mod so not sure if I did anything wrong
LukeRoss
Awesome that you liked it, thanks for the support <3
VRingo87
WoW ...WoW Wow ... what a beautiful VR mod Thank you Thank you. Pure nostalgia
Cercata
@elliottate told me that is posibble, using the "world scale" slider in the mod menu. BTW, I told him that was also available in Senua XD
WIG
Managed to play a bit and it's really well done👍. The only thing I would like to see (other than 1st person on foot working) is 3rd person camera position and world scale similar to senua' sacrifice how you could have it full human scale standing right behind her and you could have it real world scale or much smaller like a diorama. Would it be possible to give players those options for 3rd person view? I love that you added first person vehicles they are great!! What a time to be alive
LukeRoss
Please use the Reply to comment button. The installer has some intelligence built in to find the Documents folder even if it's been moved (as can happen for instance for OneDrive users), but it can still fail. Check that you have a folder with a long hexadecimal name in Documents\My Games\Mafia Definitive Edition\Data, that's where your profile should be
Steve Thurston
As per Lukes instructions- UPDATE: 1st person mod (don't use it). There is a Script Hook-based 1st person mod on the web, and some people are asking whether it's compatible with mine—or have already messed up their game by trying to install it. I discovered it too when I started working on the game, and before releasing I did try my best to make it work together with mine. As things stand now, however, I definitely recommend NOT using it. You've been warned :-)
Colin
Someone mentioned a first player mod… does that work with the VR mod?
Natasha Owens
hmm. Far as I know its on the C drive.. let me check and I will let you know if that fixes it. What is the path it is expecting? c:/users/[NAME]/documents/my games/ mafia..... ??
LukeRoss
Is your Documents folder in an unusual place (e.g., you moved it to another drive...)?
Natasha Owens
When running Realconfig.bat I am getting "ERROR: The game appears to never have been run. Run the game at least once to create your user profile, then quit it and try installing the mod again." I have run the game and completed the first part of "running man" mission. Please help!
Toshie27
I've already played the game through :-( I think the game is really very short, but in VR it was really great. Such a great job by Luke because I will continue to be a supporter, which I have been doing for a long time, I'm already looking forward to the other Mafia sharing and what is to come
LukeRoss
Thank you Joseph!!!
LukeRoss
It's tempting, but I swear I'm not touching it until they stop changing zillions of things at each update, otherwise it will suck in all my time like a black hole
LukeRoss
Thank you for the continuing support, WIG!!!
LukeRoss
Thanks Brian!!!
Hoshi82
Holy cow, that's aweseome. Hope this will work with Cyberpunk 2077 one day. Want to explore Night City in VR so badly. ^^
WIG
I would love to see Mass effect trilogy/ Andromeda or metal gear V. I hope you find a fix for the lack of first person or can work with 3rd party mods. Day 1 backer and glad to see you are building a framework!!! Impressive
Brian Tate
Got a chance to play for quite a while yesterday. Luke, amazing job! Keep up the incredible work, Bringing games like this into VR is helping to grow VR and is SUCH a treat to experience.
Joseph Spadaford
super cool man. maybe the next assassins creed game would be cool what ever that might be. I am happy to support you.
LukeRoss
I mostly do open world games, but sure, I do like fantasy and sci-fi, so they're not out of the question ;-)
Tobik Bobik
Not related question. I still don't see any mod to fantasy or sci-fi games. It looks like an autor doesn't like that kind of games. Is there any chance for it in the future?
Nicky Butler
Hopefully the taa shimmering can be fixed because on a bright sunny day the shimmering is everywhere. Its ok on a nightime though. Thats my only gripe with the game.
LukeRoss
The double trigger gesture should be disabled during gameplay. Can you upload your RealVR64.log file to pastebin.com?
LukeRoss
RealConfig.bat must be run exactly once after extracting the zip to the game folder. If for some reason you need to run it again, you must first extract the zip again, overwriting existing files
Whenever I run RealConfig.bat it tells me that sds_retail could not be found and it stops.
Andre Warringa
I just had a shootout and everytime I pressed the left and right triggeron my gamepad to shoot, the Overlay menu appeared. So after every shot I had to press the Pause button to make that go away again :) Is there a way to disable opening the overlay with the trigger buttons on the gamepad?
LukeRoss
Hi Jeff, welcome! ASW off is correct. When you speak of side-to-side movement, do you mean strafing, turning with your car, or just standing still and rotating the camera?
Cercata
And that would have great performance, like NOLF 2 had, even in a 1060 :)
Curious about the camera rotation compensation feature. I see it was implemented in an earlier version, but I don't see it in the overlay in 1.5.0. I'm getting a fair bit of ghosting in Mafia for any side-to-side movement. I'm using a Quest 2 with Link. My performance graph shows my performance overhead is in the 90% range, and I have ASW turned off. I'm mostly getting a steady 72FPS (default Quest 2 LInk settings), but the ghosting is pretty severe. If I turn on ASW and force 45 FPS (36 for my 72 Hz mode), the ghosting is worse. If I switch from Stereo to Mono the image is perfect. Ryzen 5600x, RTX 2070s, Quest 2 + Link
LukeRoss
Hi Wesley, sure! For WMR headsets you need to switch the mod renderer to OpenXR through the overlay, and make sure that your active OpenXR runtime is set to WMR and not SteamVR. Unfortunately the SteamVR driver for WMR is buggy and it looks like Microsoft is never going to fix it for good :-/
just tested it with a reverb g2 on a nvidea gtx 2080ti and i9 9900k. having some issues with the camera shuttering when looking around with my head, dont experince this when looking around with the sticks. Tried to change the resolution and other graphical settings but nothings seems to help. Dont understand me wrong, its definitely playable and it looks amizing but this issue still is a little bit annoying. Do you have any suggestions i can try?
LukeRoss
Hey, don't give up! As you can see from Beardo Benjo's video and the other comments, the gamepad does work. There must be something on your system that prevents the game from connecting to it. Do you have the game on Steam? Can you navigate the game menus with the gamepad?
hey Luke, your mod looks amazing in the MDF game menu and game scene, but i'm stuck in the first mission which is really a pity, i tried everything and still couldn't get my gamepad work(no car acceleration in the first taxi escape mission), i switched 3 controllers including ps5 and xbox but the car just won't accelerate. i tried for 1 hour and finally gave up. what a bummer :(
LukeRoss
What do you mean, the camera moves when you move your head?!?

See the update at the end of my post. I strongly advise against it
Hello, would your mod in combination with this one function? https://www.nexusmods.com/mafiadefinitiveedition/mods/66
LukeRoss
You don't need the first person mod to drive in first person (see my post), I already implemented that in my mod
LukeRoss
The double trigger gesture is disabled during gameplay. Are you using other mods besides mine?
I've got problems with the overlay. It appears when I'm pushing both triggers during the shootouts. Very uncomfortable. Any way to fix this? Other then that, great work with the mod, thank you.

Tried the first person mod and on foot its just to stuttery when turning. Cars fine in first person but camera would need sorted so it doesnt go behind the body when in the car. Still impressed with the 3rd person vr though. Time for a vr playthrough :)
Emile Tixeuil
fantastic, and now, the witcher III xD (after a bit of testing, the camera moves when we move our head is not like rdr2 ^^ makes me dizzy quite rapidly)
James Robinson
Excellent job! Red Dead Redemption 2 mod also seems to have much improved... Looking forward to whatever it is you do next. Hopefully we'll see proper Resident Evil 7/8 mod coming for Halloween...
Steve Thurston
Working good here, steam version with oculus Q2 and xbox1 controller. Well Done Luke, thank you.
Andre Warringa
Just played it for a couple of hours in a row. It's absolutely beautiful, not a single crash or issue. Amazing job Luke.
Stuart
Installed and working! Anyone else using the steam controller? I cant seem to get that working fully, look and move modes seem to be off.
Jonah
Stalker would also be great in VR
LukeRoss
The mod is not for Mafia II, it's for Mafia: Definitive Edition (the first game in the Trilogy, not the second one) :-D
LukeRoss
Please use the reply to comment button. Why are you messing around with the folders, moving files here and there? Just unzip the archive into the game folder as it is, preserving the folder structure and without moving anything around manually, and then run RealConfig
Stuart
Excited by this! Cannae wait to get in amongst it. Have installed the mod but it does not launch in VR for me. I note that the zip contains rdr2 folder mde1 folder and the dll and bat files. I installed all of those to D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Mafia II Definitive Edition\pc which is where the exe lives however it doesnt trigger in the headset to come on (index). *EDIT* Oh I ran the realconfig.bat but it did not ask for permissions ...and I just noticed that the Bat threw this: "This folder does not seem to belong to any of the supported games. Please make sure that the mod is extracted to the folder where the main game executable is found. Aborting RealConfig Press any key to continue . . . "
Toshie27
OK Thank You. Copy everything out of the RDR 2 folder and throw it in Mafia, what about the MDE1 folder? just throw in the folder or the content of it? Sorry that I ask, but I don't know otherwise
LukeRoss
The mod supports both games (and it will support others in the future if the Patreon keeps going!) Just unzip everything and run RealConfig, it will keep only the files needed for the game
Toshie27
Why is there an RDR 2 mod in the mod? do I have to throw it into the Mafia too?
Nicky Butler
The bioshock alyx mods are pretty good
Nicky Butler
The darkness 2 would be a good contender for vr. Bioshock as well :)
LukeRoss
I actually don't recommend using the first person mod: it makes the camera rotation clunky and also causes it to spin around wildly at times, especially during combat.
Greyhaim
got it working with the first person mod, just about
LukeRoss
Still both triggers (the game must be in the menus) or the Pause key that works at all times
Cercata
I can't get the MOD menu with both triggers, Anyone knows how to get it now ? It says the key, but it's out of the screen. I would be a good idea put the initial message centered. Edit: Ok, with pause it works the menu.
LukeRoss
Just rename the dxgi.dll file to dxgi.bak to disable the mod completely. If you want to enable it again, either restore the dxgi.dll file or extract the zip again and overwrite, then run RealConfig.bat again
LukeRoss
Hehe, can't say I didn't warn you
Andre Warringa
Unfortunately I can't get it working. Did a clean install of Mafia, run it once, then installed the mod. It run, on my monitor I saw the double VR images, but in my headset (G2 reverb) I saw the mission name in the topleft, the minimap in the bottom right and the rest was black. Again on my monitor everything was correct. I quit the game, restarted it, but when the 2K launcher appears and I press PLAY, nothing happens. Tried rerunning the realconfig.bat, restarted my pc but same result, the game won't start anymore. Luke what is the fastest way to remove the mod so I can test if it launches without the mod, without having to uninstall/reinstalled the game?
Greyhaim
Downloading as we speak.............this is going to be good!
Cercata
Already ? Shit, there wasn't even a discount on Steam ... please, delay the release :P
Andre Warringa
How awesome!! I bought the trilogy right after your first hint but didn't download it yet, never expected this mod would come so soon! Loved the original 20 years ago, can't wait to try it out in VR. Thanks!!
