Installing a UEVR profile
Every community UEVR profile installs the same way. If you have used one, you have used them all.
- Install UEVR itself from uevr.io. It is free, and it is a separate program from the profile: the profile is just settings.
- Download the profile from the creator's page linked above. It is a
.zip. - Start the game, then open the UEVR frontend and select the game's process from the list.
- Import the profile with the frontend's import option. UEVR keeps
per-game settings in
%APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod\<game executable name>. - Inject. Once you are in VR, press
Insert(orL3+R3on a controller) to open the in-game menu and adjust anything that looks wrong.
If a profile misbehaves, delete that game's folder under
%APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod\ and import it again from scratch.

Community research
A real current Windows Steam title and game-specific UEVR profile are verified; multiplayer/anti-cheat use and compatibility beyond hashes need owner-facing caution.
Evidence checked: Creator README, installation and compatibility guides, release and official Bandai Namco/Steam identity checked; live catalog has no exact same-game/author duplicate.
Known limitations
- Do not use an anti-cheat bypass with online/multiplayer play; the submitted package does not include EAC bypass, and online safety/account rules were not verified.
- The validated UEVR backend and game executable are exact hashes; newer versions may leave guarded features inactive.
- This is a game-specific UEVR profile/plugin; it still depends on the separate UEVR injector rather than bundling a full VR runtime.
