How to play Portal 2 in VR 😎
Es gibt einen inoffiziellen Mod, mit dem man Portal 2 in VR spielen kann. Und zwar ohne grafische Einschränkungen (mit der Original-Grafik von 2011) vom Spiel.
Habe das gestern ausprobiert und so geht's:
(1) Man braucht Portal 2 auf Steam und ein PCVR/Steam-kompatibles Headset (zb Quest 2)
(2) portal2vr Mod herunterladen
https://github.com/Gistix/portal2vr/releases
Auf die neueste Version klicken und dann die zip-Datei herunterladen.
(3) Mod (Portal2VR.zip bzw. Portal2VR-preview.zip) in das Verzeichnis von Portal 2 entpacken (steamapps\common\Portal 2)
(4) In Steam, Portal 2 auswählen und die Game-Einstellungen wie folgt ändern:
Launch Optionen hinzufügen:
-insecure -window -novid +mat_motion_blur_percent_of_screen_max 0 +mat_queue_mode 0 +mat_vsync 0 +mat_antialias 0 +mat_grain_scale_override 0 -width 1280 -height 720
"Use Desktop Game Theater when launching desktop games with SteamVR is active" deaktivieren.
(5) SteamVR und Portal 2 starten
Dazu zuerst das Headset starten, im Headset SteamVR starten (bei Quest2 zuerst mit Oculus Link verbinden), dann auf dem Desktop Portal 2 starten und ein neues Game anfangen.
Dann sollte Portal 2 im Headset in VR erscheinen.
(6) Um die Kamera-Höheneinstellung beim ersten Starten anzupassen, muss man auf den linken Stick drücken. Bei mir war es am Anfang zu hoch eingestellt.
Voilà!
Der Mod funktioniert erstaunlich gut, man kann mit dem Stick navigieren und in VR durch Portale gehen, was sich nach kurzer Zeit erstaunlich natürlich anfühlt.
Trotzdem besteht hohe Motion-Sickness-Gefahr. Bin noch nicht so weit gekommen, um durch Portale zu springen, denke aber dass das in VR ziemlich heftig sein wird.
Alleine die Stick-Steuerung und das Hüpfen mit einem Button kann einen schon motion-sick machen.
Finde es aber cool, so einen Klassiker in VR spielen zu können, und frage mich, warum das Valve nicht offiziell anbietet oder überhaupt mehr Triple A Games machen und zwar nicht mit einer eingeschränkten, mobilen Grafik, sondern mit der Grafikqualität eines echten Gaming-PCs.
Was sagt ihr dazu? Würdet ihr Portal in VR zocken?

Portal2 VR Mod

There is an unofficial mod that allows you to play Portal 2 in VR. And without graphical limitations (with the original graphics from 2011) from the game.
Tried it out yesterday and here's how it works:
(1) You need Portal 2 on Steam and a PCVR/Steam compatible headset (e.g. Quest 2).
(2) download portal2vr mod
https://github.com/Gistix/portal2vr/releases
Click on the latest version and then download the zip file.
(3) Extract the mod (Portal2VR.zip or Portal2VR-preview.zip) into the directory of Portal 2 (steamapps\common\Portal 2)
(4) In Steam, select Portal 2 and change the game settings as follows:
Add launch options:
-insecure -window -novid +mat_motion_blur_percent_of_screen_max 0 +mat_queue_mode 0 +mat_vsync 0 +mat_antialias 0 +mat_grain_scale_override 0 -width 1280 -height 720
"Disable Use Desktop Game Theater when launching desktop games with SteamVR is active".
(5) Launch SteamVR and Portal 2
To do this, first launch the headset, launch SteamVR in the headset (for Quest2, first connect to Oculus Link), then launch Portal 2 on the desktop and start a new game.
Then Portal 2 should appear in VR in the headset.
(6) To adjust the camera height setting when you first launch, you need to press the left stick. For me, it was set too high at the beginning.
Voila!
The mod works surprisingly well, you can navigate with the stick and walk through portals in VR, which feels surprisingly natural after a short time.
Still, there is a high risk of motion sickness. I haven't gotten as far as jumping through portals yet, but I think it will be pretty intense in VR.
The stick controls and button hopping alone can make you motion-sick.
But I think it's cool to be able to play such a classic game in VR, and I wonder why Valve doesn't offer this officially, or why more triple A games are adapted for VR, not with limited mobile graphics, but with the full-scale graphics quality of a real PC game.
What do you guys think about the mod? Would you play Portal in VR?

it would be cool if we could play rpg in VR. hehe
There are quite a few VR games that already give me motion sickness let alone modded ones - I think it's just that whole feeling of moving without actually moving does it to me. Probably something some people can tolerate more then others.
Really neat mod though for a classic game, thanks for sharing and I do agree as it's obviously possible Steam should really be offering more VR conversions of titles that would work well in VR.
It will be interesting for sure. we don't have much opportunities to explore VR.
Hummm jumping into portals in VR, gotta get that vomit bucket ready xD
The motion sickness I could live without but it sounds really cool. I would like to try it out it's just that the VR headsets have never felt all that natural to me. I probably just not used to them as of yet...
i guess VR is not for me. i easily get motion sickness.

Ist bestimmt cool
I also think it would be much better if the classic game in VR.
I wish I would have been able to play but unfortunately do not have gadgets mentioned like VR, stick etc.
Playing Portal 2 in VR through this mod is an exciting option for VR and classic gaming enthusiasts. In my case, I am interested in trying out this game mode

I think it's nice to have the option but I don't know if I would really want to play it in VR. It would be a nice experience though.

It will really be a cool experience on VR
Some time ago, this technology became very popular, people were using it to see things and play games, but now its use is less.
If I would play it virtual reality is the closest thing to reality .
And how you explain it seems to me very striking description.
