📋 About This Mod
The 2. 00 major update is here! This update brings DLC7 compatibility, clan mech cockpits (Perq), an animation overhaul (psycho063), DLSS support, graphical improvements, fully supported out-of-mech VR, and a lot of polish and new features.
The 2. 10 update adds native support for flatscreen players. This includes a rework of the injected HUD rendering system to support output to a single screen, reverse engineered fixes that VR users get, FOV controls, mouse camera control, and TrackIR/OpenTrack headtracking support.
If want to show your support for the huge amount of effort we have put in, we'd love it if you'd buy us a coffee.

I'd also like to extend a big thank you to everyone in the MechWarriorVR Discord who helped test this latest update.
MechWarriorVR originally ran using the VR plugins shipped with MW5. Unfortunately these VR plugins were outdated, slow, buggy, and prone to crashing. The UEVR injector provides an alternate method of enabling VR in MW5 that uses OpenXR and significantly improves performance while at the same time allowing MWVR to inject custom DLLs to provide a ton of extra features and bug fixes.
