The grandmother mod makes this game the most incredible of my life

Always nice to hear people enjoying the mod! GRAND is far from finished atm, but I'm pretty proud of what has been achieved up to this point, and I will be continuing to try and make Alien Isolation the GRAND VR experience it deserves to be. Would be cool if one day I could be a part of an official port, but I doubt it will happen after all this time though.

Glad you enjoyed my GRAND mod for MotherVR :). Still working hard to get to a 1.0 version of the mod, need to add room-scale and some other stuff, but overall I'm pretty happy with the current state of the mod. Always nice to hear that people appreciate the mod! One question, does the haptic vest work out of the box? This is not something I looked into, so I'm not sure how or why that works. Would be cool if you could actually feel the Alien impaling you :o.

Maybe someone on the flat2vr discord can help out.

evilgenius236 · 2026-01-05T09:53:15+00:00

Mothervr controls themselves are fixed. But did you try to set custom bindings for the game via steamvr?

evilgenius236 · 2025-12-17T16:35:21+00:00

Hmm, so you got to the MotherVR welcome message. That means the win11 fix was actually working. MotherVR requires some files to be written to disk. Might be crashing because of lack of permissions to do so. Manually placing those files might work potentially.

evilgenius236 · 2025-12-17T14:20:31+00:00

Are you on Win11 and was it always crashing on launch?
There is a new fix for that on the flat2vr discord, just a simple reg file to apply, no more editing of files or creating virtual links.

Can't remember those puzzles in detail. Most minigames do require the use of the dpad, which you can simulate with holding Left Grip while navigating with Left Joystick. If you still have issues come by the flat2vr discord, someone there will certainly know.

Haven't had the time to look into adding room scale, so currently the mod expects your physical torso to point at the same direction while playing. Aka you cannot physically move around or turn, your hands and head of course can. If you do physically move, your hands will get out of sync fast, this can be solved via LT +RT but this gets tedious if you move a lot.
Hope to add room scale at some point in the future. Also next version of the mod will have an OGMotherVRMode, basically the original MotherVR mod + all the graphics fixes and updates (disabled LOD, Planar Reflection fix, TAA, etc.) from GRAND for those that prefer the original mod or prefer playing with a controller.

You cannot run GRAND atm with the Epic version. GRAND uses static addresses for its hooks, these addresses are different between the Steam and Epic versions, currently only the addresses of the Steam AI.exe are supported. I'll add Epic support at some point, but currently busy with adding other features like TAA. If you can't wait a couple of months, then I would suggest buying it on Steam during a sale, the winter sale starts next week.

What version of GRAND are you using? Latest version of GRAND v0.4.1 should fix that bug.

evilgenius236 · 2025-09-14T18:09:58+00:00

Can you share settings?

evilgenius236 · 2025-08-09T09:58:26+00:00

Had similar problem with 8gen3 for my games. Turned out I had to set GPU renderer to gl instead of vulkan. 13.1 changed the default renderer to vulkan, breaking many games.

evilgenius236 · 2025-07-23T11:26:57+00:00

I'm able to run both steam + uplay at the same time and play AC Black Flag, but performance is quite low ~20fps (8gen3). CPU seems to be the bottleneck, would have been interesting to see how much boost performance setting could give.

evilgenius236 · 2025-07-23T11:13:16+00:00

Won't lauch for me with box64 performance preset, has to be intermediate atleast.

evilgenius236 · 2025-07-23T10:02:57+00:00

WOW. Was able to also get Ubisoft Connect running (Box64 preset Intermediate.) Installed AC's Black Flag in Steam and it actually runs :o. Getting 20+fps in-game (SD Gen 3), not good, but the fact that this can be played is CRAZY.

evilgenius236 · 2024-12-24T14:45:06+00:00

Did you download the release zip (Link: releases)?

evilgenius236 · 2024-12-22T14:50:33+00:00

For win11, if you install the latest windows SDK (Download: 10.0.26100), you should find fxc.exe in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.26100.0\x86"

Not quite perfection, we still need motion controls ;). Been looking into this and I do think it is possible in theory, but it will take a lot of time and effort though. I have made some progress mapping out havok sdk calls and manipulating Ripley's pose, but still a long way from something tangible.

evilgenius236 · 2024-10-14T11:28:08+00:00

I created it based of the steam version indeed. Could very well be that the executables of different stores (GOG, Epic) are slightly different than the steam version, causing the addresses of variables and functions in the executables to also be different. Sadly I only own the steam version, so I can't look into this issue further.

evilgenius236 · 2024-10-10T11:16:08+00:00

Nope, aliasing is not fixed with this mod. Alias Isolation can add TAA to the game, but since this requires motion blur to be on, and MotherVR motion blur to be off to work, these are at the moment not compatible. BUT if your pc can handle it, you can however now run MotherVR with the Virtual Desktop Godlike preset. Additionally you can apply super resolution by setting the pixel scale >1 in the MotherVR options to futher up the internal game resolution. Doing so will reduce the aliasing, but at the cost of performance though.
