Setup walkthroughs
Community research
The v1.1 package is a game-specific Overdose adaptation tested with Quest 2/3 through PC streaming and uses the OpenXR base conversion; public docs omit Overdose-specific control details, so playable with partial input description.
Evidence checked: Creator README and v1.1 release checked; the README credits/adapts Painkiller VR v0.1.9 and names tested Quest models and PC link routes.
Known limitations
- Creator tests Quest 2 and Quest 3; other headset compatibility is only expected.
- First launch may take up to five minutes while game files are prepared.
- Launcher deletes existing Data/LScripts and Data/Textures folders if present; back up any user changes before use.
