Hellblade 2 - Senua's Saga [UEVR + VRto3D]



praydog's awesome UEVR makes it possible to play Hellblade 2 in 3D!

Notes:

  • Optionally support praydog's work on Patreon
  • When UEVR is injected, you can open its menu in-game by pressing INSERT and adjust the VR settings there like UI Size and Distance
  • A static depth/convergence preset is good for this game as the camera is pretty close to Senua. You can press XInput Guide Button or Numpad 2 to toggle higher depth (this can be changed in the VRto3D profile if desired)
  • DLSS4 Transformer model profile J recommended. See here for setup
  • Disable HDR in Windows settings
  • If you have really bad performance/flickering, try turning HAGS off
  • 3DVision hardware is playable on latest drivers thanks to WibbleWobbleReShade. Check VRto3D ReadMe for instructions

In-Game Settings:

  • Display Mode 'Windowed'
  • Custom Upscaler 'Nvidia DLSS'
  • Super Resolution to somewhere between 'Quality' and 'Performance' for Transformer model
  • HDR Off
  • Vertical Sync Off

You will need:

  • VRto3D V3.1.0 or newer setup for your 3D display here
  • Download and extract the latest VRto3D profiles to your "Documents\My Games\vrto3d\" folder
    • The "Hellblade2-Win64-Shipping.exe_config.json" (Steam) or "Hellblade2-WinGDK-Shipping.exe_config.json" (Microsoft Store) can be edited for different hotkeys or depth settings. Reference the VRto3D ReadMe for details
  • Follow the general UEVR instructions for installation (Nightly version 01039 or newer required) and launching a game below
  • Download this UEVR profile for Steam or this UEVR profile for Microsoft Store version
  • DO NOT RENAME THIS PROFILE ZIP OR UEVR WILL NOT WORK. THAT INCLUDES IF WINDOWS ADDS (1) ETC
  • If coming from an old or VR version, delete your %APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod\Hellblade2-Win64-Shipping or %APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod\Hellblade2-WinGDK-Shipping folder before importing using UEVR
  • Import into UEVR using the "Import Config" button
  • Run UEVR in OpenVR mode for this game. OpenXR mode will perform badly

Known Issues

  • Some effects render in one-eye at times
  • As with many newer Unreal Engine games, it can have performance issues. 
  • If you are using a non-Steam version or WibbleWobbleVR, you can manually disable async reprojection to improve performance

The below instructions are also available on GitHub

    Thanks Oneup03! You picked another great game! All these games make me wish it was easier to get a 5090, but hopefully that will happen later this year.

    One of the best weeks being a 3d gamer in a long time!

    it looks to be perfect with UEVR, too bad it doesn't work with my HP reverb g2~

      UEVR should be compatible with your HMD, but I haven't tested it with HMDs. The profile I posted here could act as a basis for a VR fix, but you would need to adjust cameras and UI.

      Alternatively, you should be able to get Virtual Desktop + VRto3D setup if you want to play on a virtual 3D screen with better performance: https://github.com/oneup03/VRto3D/wiki/VirtualDesktop
