This is a mod for the 2004 Crytek game Far Cry which makes it possible to experience it in Virtual Reality. You need to own and have installed the original Far Cry. It is available at:
- full roomscale 6DOF VR rendering and movement
- full motion controller support
- two-handed gun handling
- immersive binocular and weapon scope handling
- manual ladder climbing
- controller vibrations and bHaptics vest support
Download and install Far Cry. Then head over to the mod's Releases and
find the latest release at the top of the page. Under the "Assets" section find and download the farcry-vrmod-x.y.exe installer.
Open it and install into your Far Cry install directory. If you are not sure where it is located,
right-click on Far Cry in your Steam library, then select "Manage" -> "Browse local files", and it will show you the game's install location.
Launch FarCryVR.exe to start the game in VR.
Note: the installer is not signed, so Windows will most likely complain about it. You'll have to tell it to execute the installer, anyway.
The most common configuration options for the mod are accessible in the ingame Options menu under the "VR options" tab.
Some more advanced config options are only available through the console or the system.cfg file. In particular:
vr_video_disable- can be used to disable any and all video playback in the mod
This mod requires SteamVR. If you have any issues, ensure that SteamVR is already running and working with your headset before launching the game.
Refer to the manual for the default controller bindings. Index and Touch-like controllers are supported out of the box. Any other controller type may require you to create your own custom controller bindings for the game.
- Few comfort options: you need your VR legs for this game!
- Distant LOD may under certain viewing angles cause stereo artifacting.
- Weapon orientation in two-handed mode can go into reverse under certain angles
- The machete hit detection is not always very accurate
- Grenade throws happen at the press of a button, there is currently no physical throwing
