Notes from vinion

Dead Island 2 UEVR Plugin v0.7 (Beta) Released More info: https://github.com/vinionsinho/DeadIsland2VR Key Features: - Full 6DOF motion controls (decoupled head/hands) - Physical melee system implemented - VR Charged Attacks via gesture mechanics - Smart Cutscene handling (prevents camera drift) - Head-mounted flashlight & dynamic rendering fix ⚠️ CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: Disable HDR in game settings. Failing to do so will cause a black screen artifact on your right hand/view. Important Gameplay Notes: - Interacting with NPCs: To talk to characters, especially ones far away, you must physically point your hand at them. - Unsupported Weapons: Thrusting weapons (Knives, Spears, Forks, etc.) do not work well with the current physics system. I do not plan to fix this, so please stick to bludgeoning or slashing weapons. - DLC Weapons: Attachments for DLC weapons have not been configured yet. Injection Troubleshooting: - It might not work on the first try: If the injection fails or nothing happens, don't panic. This is a known quirk. - Give it time: After clicking "Inject", wait a few seconds (10–15s) to see if the VR mode initializes. It's not always instant. - Try again: If it fails, close the game completely and try again. It often takes a couple of attempts to get a successful hook. Beta Status: Some weapon attachments might still be misaligned. Please check the GitHub page for instructions on how to report them. Please also take a screenshot or note the exact name of the weapon and report it to me on Discord (you can ping me) with your save file attached.

Installing a UEVR profile

Every community UEVR profile installs the same way. If you have used one, you have used them all.

  1. Install UEVR itself from uevr.io. It is free, and it is a separate program from the profile: the profile is just settings.
  2. Download the profile from the creator's page linked above. It is a .zip.
  3. Start the game, then open the UEVR frontend and select the game's process from the list.
  4. Import the profile with the frontend's import option. UEVR keeps per-game settings in %APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod\<game executable name>.
  5. Inject. Once you are in VR, press Insert (or L3+R3 on 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.
