Setup walkthroughs
Community research
The game-specific Valhalla package provides OpenXR stereo/head tracking and a documented install path; conventional gamepad controls, visual compromises and older release keep it at playable.
Evidence checked: Creator README, v2.0.0.Public per-game release assets and current issues #2/#3/#5 reviewed.
Known limitations
- Current release v2.0 is from January 2026; current game patch compatibility was not verified.
- Open issues include HUD locking, no motion controls and ReShade/DLSS-addon crash.
- Creator claims support for Odyssey, Valhalla and Mirage store builds; this result is specifically the Valhalla variant.
Setup notes
Download the archive that matches Valhalla and your preferred runtime from the latest GitHub release. Extract it into the folder containing the game executable; the default DXGI hook requires dxgi.dll in the game root.
The author recommends windowed mode with VSync, the frame cap, HDR, and depth of field disabled. Dialogues appear in stereo inside a letterboxed view. Water and some effects may disappear when looking in the opposite direction from the player character.
