Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen VR mod with native stereo rendering and DLSS / DXVK support, for the Steam and GOG releases.
- Full native stereo (each eye rendered from its own camera) with head tracking around the game's third-person view
- NVIDIA DLSS / DLAA through a 64-bit helper process (the game itself is 32-bit)
- Optional DXVK (Vulkan) with a "Building shader cache" notice in the headset
- Extended draw distance: Game Default, 2X (performance impact), 3X (extreme performance impact)
- HUD on a comfortable panel; quest markers, pawn names and enemy bars placed in the world; larger NPC dialogue, raised stereo cutscene subtitles, white bow reticle
- Optional effects: sun shafts, lens flare; reduced sun glare (made from your own game files)
- Launcher: finds Steam / GOG installs, installs / updates / uninstalls, settings, desktop shortcut
Download the release zip and run DragonsDogmaVR-Launcher_<version>.exe: pick your game folder, press Install VR mod, then PLAY.
Start your OpenXR runtime (Virtual Desktop, SteamVR, Meta Quest Link...) first. See the README in the zip for the manual install.
Before playing in VR, set these in the game's own graphics options (they're easy to miss):
- V-Sync: Off
- Screen mode: Windowed
- Frame rate: Variable
Also keep View Range at Farthest (the launcher's Distance Scaling builds on it).
The launcher (0.8.1+) checks these in the game's config.ini and offers Fix game settings (it keeps a backup, config_before_vr_mod.ini).
Toolchain: llvm-mingw (i686 for the mod and launcher, x86_64 for the DLSS helper).
TC=$HOME/llvm-mingw/bin sh mod/build.sh # mod/build/d3d9.dll
TC=$HOME/llvm-mingw/bin NGX=$HOME/DLSS sh mod/build.sh # + mod/build/ddda_vr_dlss64.exe (NVIDIA DLSS SDK)
The launcher embeds the mod files. Put them in launcher/payload/ first: d3d9.dll, ddda_vr_dlss64.exe, nvngx_dlss.dll
(from the NVIDIA DLSS SDK), openxr_loader.dll (Khronos OpenXR SDK), d3d9_dxvk.dll (DXVK 32-bit d3d9.dll, renamed),
dxvk_license.txt (DXVK's LICENSE); ddda_vr.ini is already there. Then:
TC=$HOME/llvm-mingw/bin sh launcher/build.sh # launcher/build/DragonsDogmaVR-Launcher.exe
tools/pack_payload.py (run by the build) packs the payload as LZMA. mod/tools/make_noglow2.py builds the glare-fix archive
from a game's nativePC/rom/bbsrpg_core.arc (the launcher does the same in C++ on install).
