Last 3 versions of L4D2vr - F6 and A on controller do nothing. #24

Been watching these threads, desperate to play L4D2 in VR and nothing works. As I've said elsewhere in this and other locations, VR does not kick in. In Airlink and Link: I go to my windows desktop, open steam and launch the game (with the launch options included). SteamVR launches and my steamvr wallpaper shows with "waiting..." showing. Meanwhile on my pc screen, the game launches, I navigate to new single player and start up a local game. I'm shown the intro and take control of my avatar...nothing. I've been hammering that F6 button. Fuckall happens. A on controller does nothinhg. The controllers do not make anything happen on screen.

I've tried varied approaches in Virtual Desktop as well. Nothing works. Somebody please respond to any one of my many posts.

This version will write a vr_log.txt file to your L4D2 directory. Run SteamVR and L4D2, load into a campaign, try pushing A/F6, quit the game, then copy and paste what's in vr_log.txt. L4D2VR.zip

I did not have this file. But i figured the OS must be blocking access to the mod. So....

Windows DEFENDER FOLDER EXCLUSIONS were added - I excluded the entire steam folder. Did the same for my Oculus desktop folder.

F6 now works!!!! As does pressing "A".

I now have fixed arms in the ground. No motion controls. But I can move around. THumbsticks work, all buttons work. I can shoot. I can pick up items, but my avatar arms are in the ground, therefore always shooting up dust. I can even run away from my avatar arms and keep shotting the ground back there at the start point.

I, of course, get hammered by zombies.

Thanks for the tips. I still don't have a VR_Log.txt though, but I have only tested with airlink. I'll test VD when I get home in 30 mins.

@zxv2007 Are you using a beta version of SteamVR?

Hicks613 commented 2 years ago

Further progress made: I closed out of the Riva Statistics server. This POS comes with EVGA Precision X as well as MSI Afterburner. I use these for undervolting my 3080. Once I closed it down and the related services. I had some luck just launching the game via virtual desktop, then steam vr, then launching from my steam 2d library or launching within the steam vr interface (where it says launch in theater mode)

The game launches constantly now without any issues. Some grainy graphics I can't seem to fix even with steamvr scaling. I also which I could do away with the fixed arms and their animations, but it is early days.

Many Thanks @sd805

Good to hear. There's also an invisible arms mod in the workshop if you prefer that: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=313902834

Subbed. Thank you!

This was the culprit for me. After closing RTSS (and Afterburner since it kept opening RTSS) it works for me now. (I didn't need to do the antivirus exclusion thing)

Thanks for sharing your solution and thanks to sd805 for the amazing mod

How did you fix this? I have the same issue rn

Hicks613 commented 2 years ago

I have some issues running virtual desktop and then playing this game. Sometimes control mappings don't bind. However, airlink fixed this. Something about how virtual desktop presents the desktop to the hmd, then I use the controllers as a mouse to open steamvr and launch the game confuses the heck out of the bindings. @Bluscream What's your hmd?

Quest 2. Got it working with VD, but not consistently. Maybe @ggodin knows more

Hicks613 commented 2 years ago

0.4.x seems to work. But my VD just updated last night too. So maybe thats a thing.
