About this mod

A UEVR Profile to play the game in First Person VR

Share
Permissions and credits
* STABLE VERSION OF UEVR IS REQUIRED *


Using the UEVR program from PrayDog, I managed to get the game up and running in V.R. and in first person. Exploring Silent Hill behind the eye of James, is truly a horrifying experience. 

What my "profile" does to the game, it makes it playable in full scale 3D. I moved the camera behind the eyes of James, so you "feel" like you're the main character of the story. The character mesh has been turned invisible to battle the camera clipping issues, but the shadows remain fully functional. 

- TAKE NOTE - By moving the camera and attaching it to the character mesh, it DOES affect the story cut-scenes. There is no way to fix this problem other than completely detaching the camera and going back to the game's normal 3rd-person view. To me personally, sacrificing the cut-scene angles for an experience to be James himself is a small price to pay for the terrifying experience this offers.


* HOW TO INSTALL *

1) Boot up Silent Hill 2. Wait until you load a game, so you have control over James.

Hit the HOME KEY (or alt+tab) so you can access UEVR and open it up.



2) Open up the UEVR program. When you're on the screen to "inject" the 3D mod, at the left it says OPEN GLOBAL DIR

Using WinRAR to unzip this download, drag and drop the SHProto-Win64-Shipping file, over into the Global Directory Folder of UEVR

2.1) Alternatively, you can download the .zip version and install it like other normal profiles, by Import Config, load this zip file and go from there. 

Installing this "profile" with either method above will work, but you do NOT need to do both ways, only choose one. Very easy and simple. 



3) Make sure that SHProto-Win64-Shipping is selected before you inject it to Silent Hill 2. 

After injecting the profile, when UEVR is running with the game open, click REINITIALIZE RUNTIME one time to get the game working in first-person, full-scale 3D.

I have added photos to help clean up the in-game VR image and to dump the SDK files to help the game run smoother. You can change these on your own, leave them alone, or tweak the settings to your liking. Have fun, and good luck in that quiet town of Silent Hill.
