The Hunter - Call of the Wild

SolKutTeR · 17. August 2026

Okay ich habe scheinbar meine TopMod gefunden, die muss ich am Wochenende unbedingt testen.
Der User Vaas993 veröffentlichte seine VR-Mod für The Hunter - Call of the Wild.

Ihr findet das ganze auf Github und im Nexus.

theHunter: Call of the Wild — VR
Native OpenXR stereo VR for theHunter: Call of the Wild. The world is drawn from the game's own camera, once per eye — real depth, your head turns the view, you can lean and step around inside it, and your weapon has depth.

Not a screen-in-a-void wrapper.

Install

Download the zip and unpack it.

Copy every file into the game folder, beside theHunterCotW_F.exe:
...\steamapps\common\theHunterCotW\
Run theHunterCotW VR Settings.exe from that same folder.

Read the page it opens with, press Use recommended, then Save, then Launch game.

Put the headset on before the game finishes loading.

Nothing in the game is modified. The mod is only the added files, so uninstalling is deleting them.

Anti-aliasing — you do not need DLSS
The launcher and the in-game panel both offer three, and the mod sets the game's own anti-aliasing to match whichever you pick:

Choice Needs What you get
NVIDIA DLSS RTX card Best picture, and the only one that can buy frames back by upscaling
Per-eye smoothing (mod) any card The mod replaces the game's temporal pass with its own, which keeps each eye's history separate — smoothing without the cross-eye ghosting. Use this if you have no RTX card.
Off — the game's own — Nothing from the mod. Sharp, aliased, foliage shimmers

Controls
Insert (or Ctrl+Alt+O) open the settings panel in the headset
Pause recentre the view — use it whenever forward stops being forward
Delete show the flat game screen, for menus and the map
Alt (held) free look — the view turns, the weapon stays put
Everything can be rebound in the panel, and the panel works with a gamepad.

Known issues

Objects can shake or shimmer with DLSS on — worst on close-up geometry and edges. Weapon depth makes it worse - it confuses the picture pass about which camera drew the frame, and the result is seen as the WORLD shaking rather than the weapon. Two things help: DLSS models M and L reduce the shaking noticeably, and turning weapon depth off on the WEAPON tab removes its share of it entirely.

The HUD is drawn flat across the whole view — rather than at a comfortable distance. The switches that move it are in the in-game panel and currently break more than they fix, which is why they carry a warning.

Leaning does not collide with anything — 6DoF moves the camera, not the character, so lean far enough and you will lean through a wall. The travel limit in the panel is the guard.

The scope's magnified picture is positioned from your head — not from the gun - so holding free-look while aimed slides it off the scope.

Sizes and shapes are worked out for a Quest 3 — other headsets run fine but may lose some field or waste pixels. Use the CUSTOM resolution and raise "How much wider" until it fills the view.

If something goes wrong
The mod writes a log to:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\theHunterCotWVR\cotwvr.log

The previous run is kept beside it, and the settings launcher has an Open log folder button. It records what was detected, which hooks took and every setting the mod changed. Include it in any bug report — it usually contains the answer.

Black screen in the headset, game fine on the monitor — HDR is on. Turn it off in Windows display settings.

The mod starts nothing at all — the game has probably been updated past this build. The mod identifies the game by fingerprint and refuses to guess.

You want the game back to normal without uninstalling — set VR mod to off in the launcher. Every file stays where it is.
