VR support for Star Citizen?

[Dygon]

Hello everybody,

Does anybody know if it's possible to use an Oculus Rift with Star Citizen? I've just bought a Rift, love it and I think it would be the most awesome thing to play Star citizen in!

If you can...how does it work? :D

thanks in advance!

I don't think there's native support as of yet, but it's definitely coming at some point.
But, to play Star Citizen in it's current form with 20 ish fps in the PU isn't going to be the best VR experience I'd imagine. :D

But sure, Arena Commander or even Star Marine (On a good day when you're outside of the US) could be really cool in VR atm.
I can't wait to test it out myself when I get my head wrapped around which VR headset to get.

I htink you can get it to work with VorpX though I dont know what the fps would be like

Back in the days when arena commander came out, I tried to get it to work with my google cardboard+phone. If I remember correctly there was some minimal support by using console commands, but I think it was removed because it was totally bugged. I needed some sorta 3rd party software to turn on side-by-side 3d, and to turn the accelerometer into mouse movement, which didn't really work so I just used facetrackNoIR for that. I remember seeing an option in that software for Oculus support, but I can remember the name, sorry.
Btw, it worked once out of like 50 tries, I usually ended up with the same pic on both sides, followed by crashing to desktop.
So if you wanna try it, google around and check the RSI forums, there might be a way to get it working!

It was probably Trinus VR, did the same and it actually worked pretty wel on my phone.

edit: For those of you who have a PSVR you can use it on PC now with Trinus and steamvr

i got it working once, but since they locked the FOV, it looks way too zoomed in...

I would think the trouble with OR is you can't see your keyboard to interact. Wouldn't you be better off with a less immersive HMD that you can see past?

I don't look at my keyboard, ever. Not even kidding.
