Hello guys, If anyone know if the upcoming RTX version of Half-Life 2 will be compatible with the VR mod? I have seen some discussions, but nothing definitive. Any insights?
Sadly, it doesn’t. The VR mod is a separate install with its own assets.
The team for the RTX version includes some devs who worked on HL2 VR, so there’s a chance it could happen.
The VR mod team said it won’t support RTX features, but WormSlayer mentioned he hopes to port some remade assets.
I doubt it because of performance issues. VR is already demanding, and raytracing adds even more load.
I was thinking ray tracing doesn’t work with VR for some reason.
The Half-Life 2 VR mod is basically its own game, just requiring you to own HL2 for piracy reasons.
Unless they specifically block it, it should work. But they might want to focus on shipping first.
It will. Source: I know the fanbase, and I’m old enough to have seen this before.
