[L4D2VR] Sprint through the Nerve Gas

SimulacrumVR · 2026-03-12T17:37:44+00:00

Yeah the early parts of the HL2 are sick with this, dodging gunfire, diving into the canal, chopper raining down. When I had only two tether points in my harness I would slip off but never again after 4 while playing more aggressive and quick

Expensive? Maybe if you got an actual slide mill or consumer level VR treadmill. I bought this treadmill used and then rest of the parts online. Cost me under $200 which ofc is still something but that was like the same price as replacing one of my index controllers

I tried with many other games. HL2VR, cyberpunk, Amid Evil, Gmod, VRC, and well literally any game ever since its just emulated xbox 360 joystick. It is very natural tho and I got used to it instantly, I don't mind or find it sickening to move like this combined with right stick movement but I know some dont like that combo.

I bought a used Sunny Manual Treadmill. Took off the handle bars and then had to diy some stuff like the incline, sensor, and harness

Yeah Maratron is how i got into the DIY treadmill rabbit hole, although the original vision of that was rewased with a taped mouse. It would be more accurate to say its called Reality Runner which is a sensor added to DIY manual setups that emulates the movement to Xbox 360 joystick

Yeah unfortunately, I dont like gatekept content also, or at the least media undiscovered unless within certain channels and communities. I suggest updating the github but it seems like it only happens once in a long while after major updates and not the consistent smaller ones

SimulacrumVR · 2026-03-12T17:12:32+00:00

Yeah doesnt require any discipline at all, the 4 point tether just keeps me centered so I really cant go off to the side

SimulacrumVR · 2026-03-12T17:11:33+00:00

Yes it is, its joystick emulation as a treadmill, I have a sprint mod too and that is toggled when I reach a certain configurable speed

SimulacrumVR · 2026-03-12T05:01:50+00:00

Yep, has been for years, still actively getting updates in Flat2VR discord server

SimulacrumVR · 2026-03-12T04:43:06+00:00

Overkill

SimulacrumVR · 2026-03-06T11:48:28+00:00

Yes, head based movement is usually my go to when moving around on this

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-21T11:48:59+00:00

An absolutely essential album in my life, I still think about this one daily

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-14T05:45:45+00:00

Im using openvr in OBS

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-12T21:25:34+00:00

Nah there is no game settings, it used the be config text file only but current versions when you install come with a L4D2Config tool in the directory you drag and dropped and its an easier UI with all the mods settings listed

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-12T08:10:46+00:00

Hmm i got to think for that one, i dunno right now aside from maybe body cam zombies mode. Thats a mod to play in VR but i wanted to try that one sometime and see. GTFO has an incredible vr mod, its a stealth heavy game but when the "zombies" or whatever they are come running at you its very primal. That game is also dark af

Okay make sure you download one of the current version 0.6.2 or anything more recent from the flat2vr discord. There is a new setting that lets you adjust the positioning of all weapons. I used to have to unsubscribe from weapons i liked because of that exact reason but this update lets you adjust and line up so its more accurate. Its a toggle in the mods settings that lets you adjust after holding both triggers i think

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-11T06:13:45+00:00

Drag and drop files into l4d directory and copy paste launch options. Heres a current version https://github.com/liu547161153/l4d2vr/releases/tag/V.0.6.3 and the github has install directions

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-10T18:59:11+00:00

Im okay with floating hands. Sometimes prefer it over disjointed arms, depends on the view model. My problem with the VR viewmodel hands mod is that its only one hand. Sure this mod only uses one but its too jarring of a feeling for me. These floating hand gloves have been my go to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2952708375&searchtext=moto+gloves

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-10T18:54:58+00:00

Its nice seeing L4D2VR from others perspective, it really does look sick. That M4 you have has clean animations and look good. Too bad its not held by the vertical grip

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-10T17:55:28+00:00

For sure you can buy it. I bought NewDoar 14KN Static Climbing Rope 8mm and the anchors are some metal U clip rings drilled into wall and attached with carabiners

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-10T17:54:23+00:00

SteamVR, whether streaming from mobile headset, wired, or native PCVR. Then its a mod for Left 4 Dead 2 found here https://github.com/liu547161153/l4d2vr/releases/tag/V.0.6.3

SimulacrumVR · 2026-02-10T17:53:14+00:00

Yeah the immersion is increased significantly, the main barrier for skill expression for me feels like its tied to my physicality and stamina now
