Community research
An installable PCVR conversion is available; its intentional 3DoF limitation and exact creator validation are clear.
Evidence checked: Creator README, release and technical notes checked; no independent player report or open GitHub issues located.
Known limitations
- Head translation, leaning and roomscale movement are unsupported by design.
- Fog on some rides can follow view; changing park may leave the headset flat until F10 is pressed.
- Only Quest 2 through Quest Link was validated; Steam storefront stated as validation target, other headsets/runtime routes untested.
