BetterVR 0.9.11

Another minor update before we'll see the 1.0 release. This time its to fix various issues and feedback adjustments for the new controller scheme. Players with long arms will definitely notice the new non-stretched out arms! To sweeten this release, I also added some cool performance upgrades so that the game run roughly 10% faster depending on how many different objects are on screen!

You might want to change your refresh rate to be able to notice this modest performance bump due to the performance "cliff" effect. I've written about that here, including other performance tweaks you can do, if you're curious. It also explains how emulators work (and why they're slow), how stereo rendering is added, why the mod runs slower then you'd expect, whether this mod can be ported and more! Its mostly just behind-the-scenes info though.

Performance Explained: Why this mod is tough to run?

General Improvements:

  • In-game arms no longer stretch out very unevenly when stretched, which is a major improvement for people with long arms.
  • Add whistling and magnesis control options to menu
  • Improve performance by not updating cascaded shadows for right eye and reusing the left eye
  • Improve performance by waiting for GPU after waiting for VR headset vsync

Input Fixes & Improvements:

  • The BetterVR menu can now be navigated with xbox, ps4 and other non-VR controllers (as long as you set them up to emulate the Wii U Gamepad in Cemu's input settings!)
  • You can now configure deadzone settings inside the VR menu
  • Weapons now auto-equip when selecting them from the quick menu
  • Switched parry to use acceleration instead of velocity, making it far more responsive
  • Using the bow with your right hand pulled back will no longer cause the player to throw their weapon
  • Improved riding controls - Left grip is for dismount and right grip is for dash
