Returnal [UEVR + VRto3D]



praydog's awesome UEVR makes it possible to play Returnal 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
  • Toggle between different depth presets for menus/cutscenes using the XInput Guide Button or Numpad 2 (this can be changed in the VRto3D profile if desired)
  • Holding left trigger or right mouse activates a lower depth preset
  • 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'
  • Screen Optimizations 'DLSS'
  • DLSS SR to somewhere between 'Quality' and 'Performance' for Transformer model
  • Depth of Field 'Off'
  • Film Grain '0%'
  • HDR Off
  • Game runs very well. 2080ti at 1080p 3D and DLSS Quality with everything Epic including Ray-Tracing gets 45+fps

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 "Returnal-Win64-Shipping.exe_config.json" 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
  • 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\Returnal-Win64-Shipping folder before importing using UEVR
  • Import into UEVR using the "Import Config" button
  • Run UEVR in OpenXR mode for this game

  1. OneUp03, you rock! Just set it all up with your instructions (playing on LG e6p 4k TV) and 3D looks so great in this game. This will be my first time playing this game as I was waiting for 3D support before I played. Thank you for posting this so quickly. I have been playing with a depth of .15 that I changed in the vrto3d settings for the game, and it looks amazing.

    Huge thanks to you for the instructions you have put here on Helix Mod to get us going for the Luke Ross supported games and now the UEVR (have a lot more games to try and will read up on your tutorials). Now we get to play Jedi Survivor and Returnal in 3D!!!! Keep up the great work.. and the 3D community thanks you for sharing this and documenting the work for UEVR and other VR or 3D mods for us!
