UEVR - MechWarrior 5 - Mercenaries

SolKutTeR · Jan 3, 2024

Es gibt zwar bereits eine VR-Mod, allerdings sollte der UEVR Injektor denke ich besser laufen.
Der Nexus-User sicsix dachte sich dasselbe und hat das ganze etwas angepasst.

(Konnte das ganze allerdings leider noch nicht selber testen.)

MechWarriorVR von sicsix

This mod includes VR support and a total rework of the user interface - redesigned explicitly for VR. Each mech features a custom cockpit with physical screens and a 3D HUD. A lot of work has been done on optimisation, and combined with praydog's UEVR mod the game performs great.

This mod completely overhauls the in-Mech experience with a fully custom user interface, remodelled cockpits with physical screens, extensive optimisations, and many tweaks and improvements. The mod currently supports over half the Mech roster, growing rapidly.

Quick Start Guide
This quick guide will take you through getting the mod set up and working

Download the latest release from the Nexus including the UEVR Config file

Download the MW5 Mod Compatibility Pack 5.1

Download praydog's Universal Unreal Engine VR Mod from the UEVR GitHub repository, you'll need the UEVR.zip file

Extract the UEVR zip file somewhere, you may need to add an exception to your antivirus software for this folder

Install the MWVR mod and MW5 Mod Compatibility Pack in MW5 using the in-game mod manager or whatever method you prefer

Navigate to C:\Users\<YOURNAME>\AppData\Local\MW5Mercs\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and open the Engine.ini file there. Add the following to the file:

[SystemSettings]
r.VSync=0
bSmoothFrameRate=False
T.maxFPS=200
FrameRateLimit=200
r.Streaming.FullyLoadUsedTextures=1
r.Streaming.HLODStrategy=2
Grass.DensityScale=0
Foliage.DensityScale=0
vr.PixelDensity=1.0
vr.AllowMotionBlurInVR=0
vr.RoundRobinOcclusion=1
r.HZBOcclusion=0
r.CustomDepth=0
r.RHICmdBypass=0
r.FinishCurrentFrame=0
r.AmbientOcclusion.Method=1
r.Tonemapper.Quality=1
r.BloomQuality=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.LensFlareQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.SSR.Quality=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.ContactShadows=0
r.LightShaftDownSampleFactor=4
r.TranslucentLightingVolume=0
r.RefractionQuality=0
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0

Connect your headset and launch your headset software: SteamVR, Oculus, or Virtual Desktop

Launch MW5 however you wish NOTE: You do NOT want to launch MW5 with any command line parameters eg. -allowhmd and -d3d12

Open Settings, go to Graphics, and set everything to LOW except textures which can remain MAXIMUM. You will likely be able to increase these settings later if you have performance to spare.

Go to Display and ensure DLSS Quality is set to OFF otherwise you may get ghosting

Launch UEVR with MW5 still running, it might be easier putting MW5 in windowed mode with ALT+ENTER

In UEVR ensure OpenXR is selected and Nullify VR Plugins is enabled

Click Import Config and navigate to the UEVR config file you downloaded earlier

Above the Inject button, open the dropdown box and find MechWarrior-Win64-Shipping from the list and select it

UEVR will warn you that it has detected VR plugins in MW5, click Yes to go to the plugins directory and delete or move the Oculus and OpenVR folders (you will need to close MW5 in order to do this, restart it once deleted)

Once this is done hit the Inject button

Inside MW5 you should now be able to press Ins to toggle the UEVR menu on and off. You can change keybinds in here later if desired

Start an instant action game, pick a mech with VR in the top left corner and put on your head set, you should be in VR at this point

Press the F9 key to reset headset position, and if you want to see your mouse cursor while in VR hit the F12 key

In mech you can also press Alt+Numpad7 by default to open the settings menu for the mech displays and HUD

Stumblingdrunk and Perq for their playtesting and cockpit modelling KITT for his VRWARRIOR mod that inspired this, tips on how to overcome early VR obstacles, and letting us spam his Discord channel while working on this praydog for his work on UEVR that allows us to bypass the buggy VR rendering plugins bundled with MW5 and get much better performance to boot MagnumGB for his work on the MW5 Compatability mod

Ein Tütöriäääl vom mir.

SolKutTeR · Jan 4, 2026

Hier gab es ein großes 2.00 Major Update mit z.B. DLSS Support, Grafikverbesserungen und Animationverbesserungen.

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. 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.

If you'd like a more tactical and challenging gameplay experience that complements MWVR check out BATTLETECH 3015, and for those with bass shakers such as Buttkickers or Daytons check out my other mod MechShaker.
