how stuff work:
two handing is physical, bring your off hand to the weapon wherever feels natural, squeeze that hand's grip and the hand sticks exactly where you put it and rides the weapon from there.

the shield guards by putting it in the space in front of your body and you're guarding, take it away and you're not.
the heavier the weapon the slower you need to swing it to make it register better.

parry is a sharp flick of the shield to the left or activate the ash of war.

bows you draw yourself, reach over take the string and pull and letting go fires.

crossbows, ballistae, cannons, staffs and seals fire off the trigger of whichever hand is holding them,
magic and incantations are like this for now, i am not insane enough to make gesture for each spell.

ash of wars are button activated.

there's a tuning panel you open in the headset that edits the weapon you're currently holding
each weapon have unique features.

currently its flat screen, you can enable AER in the tuning panel, but i warn you it will take half of your fps to render two eyes.
FPS limit increased to 144
full body is also disabled you can enable it but its janky, wasn’t a priority for me.

the player's height is 5'7, so you'll get to play as a maidenless short person and experience the true unloved short person life

questions and my answers:
will this mod get updated regularly and improve?
no one knows

are all weapons systems implemented and supported?
no not all, some smith script weapons some have throwing gestures, whips are trigger only, i may add more but probably not

can you share the dll source?
no, a lot of the headset logic is generated and my behavior code isn’t anything worth learning from. check the credits below for the actually good sources i used

Und das sogar mit einem Mehrwert welcher mehr in Richtung RealVR Mod geht.

Durch diese Welt würde ich schon gerne mal laufen und bewundern, aber der Kampf muss in First-Person doch der pure Horror ein.

@SolKutTeR
die Kämpfe würden mich echt reizen. Aber anscheinend ist es z.Z. Quest only.
Mal schauen wie es in der Entwicklung weitergeht.

Ich denke mal die Marktmacht bestimmt für welches Headset die ki vibecoden soll aber wenn sie frame erst mal verbreitet ist, gibt's sicher viele native ports und evtl. Stand alone

SolKutTeR · 25. August 2026 um 21:00 Uhr

Mist, okay das ist Mist, ich hab nur SteamVR gelesen.

Odyssey_Plus_Man · 25. August 2026 um 23:44 Uhr

Achtung, die mod bietet (zumindest bisher) nur 360° flache Sicht, kein Stereo (3D)

Von Ilyamez gibt es eine weitere PCVR Mod im Nexus, welche Native Stereo OpenXR Rendering und Motion Controller Support bieten soll.

Ilya's Elden Ring VR
VR for ELDEN RING with reimagined combat: native stereo OpenXR rendering, 6DoF head tracking, first person with hand-tracked weapons and physical melee, full motion-controller input, floating HUD.

Description
Ilya's ERVR is a free native VR mod for ELDEN RING. It renders the game into your OpenXR headset, either as a head locked cinema screen or as full stereo with one image per eye, and adds 6DoF head tracking, a first person mode where the weapon follows your hand, physical melee, motion controller input, and a HUD that floats in world space on its own layer.
Combat is being rebuilt around the controllers: damage comes from how fast the blade is actually moving, heavy weapons have weight, shields block by where you hold them, and two-handing is grabbing the hilt.
ERVR runs as a ReShade add-on and opens its own OpenXR session.
Offline play only. ERVR injects into eldenring.exe and writes game memory. Never run it with Easy Anti-Cheat enabled or while connected to online play. Doing so risks a permanent ban, and that is on you. Multiplayer and anti-cheat are not supported and will not be.

Installation instructions

Download the zip from the Files tab.

Unpack it into your ELDEN RING\Game folder, next to eldenring.exe. You should end up with these files:

dxgi.dll (ReShade 6.8.0 add-on build, bundled and unmodified)

ReShade.ini (ReShade defaults)

dinput8.dll (ERVR's proxy loader)

ERVR\ERVR.dll (the mod)

ERVR\ERVR.ini (configuration, reloads while playing)

If you had R.E.A.L. VR installed, delete its dxgi.dll, RealVR64.dll, openvr_api.dll, cudart64_12.dll and RealVR.ini first. R.E.A.L. and ReShade both use dxgi.dll and cannot coexist.

If you already use ReShade, keep your own ReShade.ini, but dxgi.dll must be an add-on support build (6.8 or newer).

If you already use a dinput8.dll mod loader such as ELDEN MOD LOADER, keep it and put ERVR.dll in its mods folder instead.

Set your headset's OpenXR runtime as the active one (Oculus for Link and Air Link, VDXR for Virtual Desktop, or SteamVR). Launch the game offline with EAC disabled and put the headset on.

If something fails, read Game\ERVR\ERVR.log. It should contain "[reshade] registered as add-on" and "Active VR backend: openxr". If the [reshade] lines never appear, the dxgi.dll in your Game folder is not the bundled one.

Your antivirus may flag ERVR.dll or dxgi.dll. ERVR.dll injects into a running process, and dxgi.dll is ReShade's unsigned add-on build, so both detections are generic. The bundled dxgi.dll is identical to the ReShade64.dll inside ReShade_Setup_6.8.0_Addon.exe from reshade.me, and you can compare the two files yourself. If you prefer, download that installer and use its dxgi.dll instead of the bundled copy.

Main features
Stereo rendering into any OpenXR headset, one image per eye, or a head locked cinema screen if you prefer that. 6DoF head tracking.
First person with the weapon attached to your right controller.
Physical melee. In first person, a swing does not press a button. ERVR fires the game's own attack event on your character while the controller is moving, so the weapon in your hand is the hitbox. Damage, poise, status effects and stamina cost all come from the game's own rules. See the Combat section below.
Motion attacks in third person. Swing the right hand for a light or heavy attack depending on swing speed. Swing the left hand for parry, shield bash or offhand attack.
Controllers replace the gamepad. Every Touch control is mapped to XInput and the mapping is configurable. No physical gamepad has to be plugged in.
Haptics. Game rumble is sent to the controllers, and gesture attacks get a pulse on hit.
Tap and hold layers. A tap on the menu button is START, a hold opens the map. A tap on the left stick click is crouch, and holding it while tilting the stick acts as the D-pad for quick slots.
Movement options: locomotion relative to where the left controller points, and snap turn.
Hand aim (experimental): camera yaw and pitch follow the right controller while you hold the grip.
HUD on its own layer. The in game UI is taken out of the rendered frame and shown as a flat quad in world space, at the distance and size you set.
Hot reload. Edit ERVR\ERVR.ini while playing and the change applies within about a second.

Combat
The aim is that your arms are the attack. In first person, ERVR never presses R1 or R2 for a swing. While your controller is moving, it fires the game's own attack event on your character every frame instead. The game then does what it does for any attack: it looks up the equipped weapon's attack row, sweeps the weapon's hitbox along the blade (which follows your hand), and applies damage, poise damage, status buildup and hitstop. No attack animation plays, nothing locks you in place, and the weapon you see connect is the one that hits. Damage type, scaling, buffs and status all stay the game's. ERVR only decides when the hitbox is live and how hard it counts.

Damage follows physics. Each frame the blade is in contact counts as a hit sized by the tip speed at that moment: zero at rest, a fraction of a vanilla hit at full speed, squared in between. A fast pass through an enemy adds up to roughly one normal hit. A slow push does nothing. Resting the blade on an enemy keeps cutting, weakly. Waving a sword at the air in front of someone does not melt their health bar, which is where the first version ended up and why this model exists.

Weight is real. The hand and weapon the game renders chase your controller through a force limited spring. A dagger tracks your hand one to one. A greatsword needs a committed swing to get up to speed, and a wrist flick visibly does not get it there, so the damage you get is the damage of the weapon you see moving. Heavier weapons also take longer to commit to a strike.
Shields block by posture. With a shield in the left hand, that hand guards instead of striking. Raise it anywhere in front of you and the guard is held. How well it blocks depends on where it is: facing the attack, covering the head and chest line, and holding steady. A sloppy block leaks damage and eats stamina, a squared up braced one is a wall. Moving the shield into an incoming hit fast enough counts as a deflect, and the stamina that block cost is refunded.

Two-handing is a grab. Close your free hand on the hilt of the weapon in your other hand and you are two-handing. ERVR sends the game's own two-hand chord and reads the result back from the game, so the strength bonus and the two-handed attack rows are the real ones. The free hand rides the haft while you swing. Let go by moving the hand off the shaft.

The Ash of War fires without its animation. With both hands on the weapon, the right trigger triggers the skill. ERVR records the events the skill's animation carries the first time you use it (the weapon buff, self buffs, projectiles, particle effects) and replays only those on every later press, so you get the effect while staying in control of your body. For attack skills such as Stamp or Lion's Claw, the skill's attack row is instead loaded onto your next swing, so the strike you make is the skill's strike. FP and stamina costs are the game's, and a skill without enough FP fails the way it does in the game.

Stamina is out of the loop by default. While the model is being tuned, attacks do not drain the stamina bar. Blocking still costs what the game charges. A single setting turns the game's own charges back on, or adds a fatigue model on top where low stamina weakens strikes.
Where it is heading. Thrust versus slash by swing direction, charged and held skills, and stances are not done. Because no attack animation plays, enemy AI and hitstop cues that key off the player's attack state are absent, and the game may still let you roll mid swing. The block currently uses the game's guard angle rather than testing hits against the shield's actual surface, which is the next thing to look at. Every threshold, speed and multiplier above is in the [Combat] section of ERVR.ini and reloads while you play.

Requirements
ELDEN RING on Steam, played offline with Easy Anti-Cheat disabled.
A PC VR headset with an OpenXR runtime: Meta Quest over Link or Air Link (Oculus runtime), Virtual Desktop (VDXR), or SteamVR (Index, Vive, WMR, Pico, Steam Link). ERVR uses whichever OpenXR runtime is active on the system.
Nothing else. ReShade 6.8.0 with add-on support is included in the download. R.E.A.L. VR is not used and must be removed if present.

Performance and test setup
Performance is solid on my machine, but my machine is a 9800X3D CPU with a RTX 5090 and 64 gigs of RAM, so that does not say much. If it struggles, lower the game's resolution and settings first, or use StereoMode=cinema in ERVR.ini, which is a single render on a head locked screen and always runs.

Tested on:

Meta Quest 3 over Virtual Desktop, VDXR runtime. This is the main setup and where most of the testing happened.

Meta Quest Pro over Virtual Desktop (VDXR). Works, but the left joystick drifted and jumped on this setup. ERVR filters the stick stream and it is playable, but if your character wanders or turns on its own with a Quest Pro, that is what you are seeing. The Quest 3 did not show it.

ELDEN RING 1.16.2 (exe 2.6.2.0). Other versions load, but the first person, physical melee and two-handing features depend on game addresses that change between patches, and those are only verified on this one.

Render resolution is still low. The headset image is softer than the flat game at the same settings. This is known and will be fixed soon; in the meantime RenderScale in the [VR] section raises it at a GPU cost.
