Hi Everyone,
The VR mode beta is now available on the next-version-preview branch for testing! Here's how to try it out:
- Right click on the game in the steam library
- Click properties, then choose betas
- Choose the next-version-preview branch
Then fire up your VR headset, turn on SteamVR, then launch the game and it will automatically enter VR mode. You can start a new game, or load and play any city in VR! Although note that performance can be an issue in larger cities and is dependent on your computer's specs.
We've got support for the Valve Index, HTC Vive, and Meta Quest. Generally just about any VR headset that is compatible with Steam VR should work.
If you don't have a VR headset or you don't want to play in VR, don't worry! This update won't impact you - it's a completely way to play.
Why VR? - VR Support was promised as a stretch goal during our original crowd-funding campaign for the game. We want to follow through and make good on that promise.
Let us know if you find any bugs and any other feedback here in the forums, on discord, or at contact@lionshieldstudios.com!
