The developer community of Vireio, the driver that allows you to run games not prepared for virtual reality on Oculus Rift, has published version 2.1.3 with support for new games and a few fixes. Two of the big new features are GTA IV and Far Cry 3, including a nude mode.
You can download it on MTBS3D, this is the list of new supported games:
- Crysis (Full support)
- Crysis Warhead – (Full support)
- Dead Island (The Shaders are unfinished)
- Outlast (In pre-press)
- GTA IV – (In progress, without VR Boost)
- Betrayer – (Full support)
- Overlord (Supported, no need VR Boost)
- Homefront (In progress, not ready yet)
- Far Cry 3 (Full Support)
- Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (Expect to update VR Boost by Friday)
- Bulletstorm (Full support, excellent)
- Fixes for Bioshock
- Fixes for Left 4 Dead
Other improvements:
- Various improvements in the shader analyzer (Performance/jumps in the list)
- Integrated debug (render states / Brassa render time / headtracknig time)
- Improved depth perception mode, added key to activate (Shift +O / Alt +O)
- New method to specify Shaders (especially those without constant tables, which will allow a greater support of games in the future, including Unity)
- Improved black bleed correction (Shift+B, off by default)
- Possibility of not drawing the shaders at all
- Improvements to the TVoEC shader files
- Added FPS meter to the VP dialog, useful for measuring without drawing on screen (which can reduce FPS)
- Improvements to the profile system to differentiate between similar games
- Added shader modification rule so that distant shaders do not respond to positioning (can be used to fix problems with the sky, etc.)
- VR Boost (Show axis directions, Shift + V), tremendously useful for support
As a curiosity, it is possible to show the characters naked in Far Cry 3, since the game uses different shaders for the body and clothes. There is a configuration line for the Far Cry 3 profile that we can delete, although it is best to comment on it by adding the following in front: <!– –>
< shaderSpecificRuleIDs shaderHash=”3959869407″ doNotDraw=”true”/>
The developers of Vireio claim that there may be serious problems with AMD graphics, especially in Far Cry 3. It seems that none of the developers have AMD graphics and at the moment they have no way to improve it, a pity.
