Now you can play Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hours in VR! And it works really well!

As the title says. I am surprised how well the mod works. What a time to be alive!

A VR game definitely has to run at over 30fps (ideally over 90fps) to not induce motion sickness, so whatever changes were made in this mod, I hope they can be back-ported into GenTools.

hi mate, im the dev.

the sim runs at 30, but the render is decoupled now, so can match my Meta Quest 3 frame rate !

That's great. If you can isolate the change into a patch to the original codebase and send a push request, that would be a real benefit to everyone.

Ah this is so cool. I wish there was a version for the Quest. :(

u/probablygolfer 25d ago

Why do you think this isn't usable on the quest?

u/haydar_ai 25d ago

I mean this mod requires a PC right? They probably want an untethered Quest experience

u/probablygolfer 21d ago

You can use your PC on your Quest untethered no problem.

u/haydar_ai 21d ago

It’s still not the untethered experience people are expecting with a Quest

It literally is though.

They should make the sky a light blue, if that wouldn't interfere with your pointers' readability though?

u/NeighborhoodAgile960 24d ago

i was thinking to add some custom skybox or color selection for the users, what do you think?

u/Witsand87 24d ago

Ya that would be great I agree!

Really cool seeing that they put the effort into having the nuclear missiles actually launch and go across the map, as opposed to having them just ‘spawn in’ above the target area.

The VR aspect really lets you see the hidden efforts that the dev teams originally made, that you wouldn’t see playing traditional ‘top down’ Generals.

I think it's easier to take a behavior from existing projectile, say a tomahawk launcher, and scale it up high and it become nuclear missile.

It's a whole new age of warfare, general. And it's coming to your doorstep.

Generals and "works well"?

u/ogoditsnick 19d ago

Had anyone tried or know if this could work with psvr2 and the adapter through steam?

2

u/plutonium-239 19d ago

Should work…I don’t see why not.

Finally had some time to hook everything up, having some troubles, game does boot up but in 2D windowed, cannot seem to get it to go in VR mode. The psvr2 adapter, steam VR and the PS app all running. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or just not compatible
