A few things to take care of
Here lie the complexities of using a mod. To make sure that the UEVR mod works without any issues, you will have to make sure of the following:
- Make sure HDR is disabled on your system.
- If the game you want to launch doesn’t appear on the Process list of the mod, exit the application, and then run it as an administrator.
- As suggested by the mod developer, you need to add the “-nohmd” command to the game’s command line if the game contains any existing VR plugins. If not, you can also delete the VR plugins from the game directory and then use the mod.
- Another important setting that you need to take care of is “Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling“. You need to turn it off after using this mod. To disable it, head over to the Start menu and type “Graphics Settings“. Now, select the first result. A new window will open featuring all Graphics-related settings. Here, you will find the Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling option. Once found, disable it.
- Next, make sure that applications like Rivatuner, ASUS software, Razer software, Overwolf, Discord, Steam, etc. have their overlay settings disabled. Enabling overlay might result in crashes.
- If you are trying to run a recently released game that comes with DLSS Frame Generation support, make sure that the setting is disabled in-game.
With this, you are now equipped with all the knowledge required to download, install, and run the UEVR mod. We hope that you find this guide informative. For more such interesting guides, make sure to visit Android Gram daily. Also read: Ancient Dungeon VR: How to play multiplayer?
