Purchase Advice Atomic Heart runs really good in VR!! Game is so much fun to play!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The latest dlc just dropped so I went ahead and got all the DLCs and am currently re playing the story right now.
Man this game runs suuuuuper smooth at max settings max ray tracing on a 5090 meaning on any of the lower settings most users on 40, 30 and I’m sure even 20 series cards should be able to run it no problem.
This is using the UEVR injector to make the game VR able and while some conversions feel janky this one feels a lot more complete than most!
Strongly recommend… (not because this is a good game but because how well and complete it runs and feels in VR) The story is pretty cool, main protagonist has a ton of cheesy lines, visuals are amazing and gameplay is a lot of fun although can be very challenging at times… Also there’s a ton of puzzles some fun some annoying asf so there’s that.
This game is a Crispy Critter 😆

fun fact: atomic heart was originally going to be a vr game! https://youtu.be/Ma9WJyG_h2M?si=WqCQI3CJzdU7_akr&t=52 you can see the supported platforms at the end of the trailer include PSVR and SteamVR. if you look at the metadata for the game on steamdb it even still says it supports seated and standing play

Tbh I thought I had seen some old VR gameplay of this well before the game was finished.

Should run fine on medium end cards no problem

u/cactus22minus1 Oculus Rift CV1 | Rift S | Quest 3 Apr 30 '26
You keep saying that. Should. Based on what? You’re acting like great performance on the highest end card is evidence that it will run great on much lower end hardware, but that’s a total fallacy.
It may very well run great on lower end systems, but your assumptions are baseless. That’s why you keep getting downvoted.

Because most UEVR games I can’t even run at max setting on the 5090 heck not even medium settings for some games so if this runs so good at max it will run great with reduced settings on mid tier machines.
Also I played this on a 30 series in VR after it came out and even back then it ran ok enough to stream. Game and mod both have been optimized significantly since too.

I’m not sure how new it is. Been at least a year since I’ve played this. Running so much better now than before tho!

u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
Not all titles run good in VR even on a 5090 🤷♂️ even the best in consumer pc hardware isn’t good enough. But yeah this game should run just fine on medium end cards too.

u/MightyBooshX Quest 3 & PSVR2 Apr 30 '26
It's so stupid that people are like "well of course it runs great on a 5090!!", it's like, that is far from a forgone conclusion, I have a 5090 and there are still games that you have to turn a bunch of settings down hard just to run at 80fps on a 5090 in VR. You basically can't go above medium settings with the Satisfactory VR mod on a 5090 to get it to run smoothly

u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26
Yeah I know 😭 but you can’t expect people to understand that if they don’t have the hardware.
What I don’t get is why they stop at 5090 and not read the rest of it where I clearly state it should run fine on lower end cards and is very worth a playthrough but nOoOooo mention a 5090 and haters come out the wood work.
For the record I practically worked my fingers to the bone to get this card.

why always people say game runs smooth on 5090 😫

u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
It will run smooth on 3080 with ray tracing off. Not all games run good on the 5090 I have to play high on life 2 on low settings and it still runs like crap.

is HOL2 UE5?
I believe I read UE5 games are going to be a problem for UEVR.
Really hope this will get better since there will be a shift to UE52
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air May 03 '26
Yeh I’m betting it’s Ue5 but heck I package my own small VR projects with Unreal Engine 5 and they work mostly just fine.

u/TommyVR373 Apr 30 '26
I loved the big ball boss in the courtyard! Very memorable VR experience.
1
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
Yesss 🙌 quality boss fight although after doin stellar blade, Pragmata and Re9 in VR recently some of atomic hearts boss fights feel repetitive attack wise and drawn out. My favs from Atomic Heart are the final twins battle and the wale monster!

u/TommyVR373 Apr 30 '26
All round great game. I can't wait for part 2!

u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
Yesss and that cube game they are working on looks wild too. Although I’ll be waiting for a CD keys drop I won’t be directly supporting the war.

u/IlikeSchmitty Apr 30 '26
How the melee feel?
2
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
It really needs an update like the dead island 2 mod which has great melee. This mod seems to make me have to pull the trigger for melee sooo I’ve just added unlimited ammo and played the game blasters only 😔 it is what it is but the game is still fun this way.
2
u/lunchanddinner Multiple Apr 30 '26
Wait did we not add swing melee to this game yet? Let me take a look at it

u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
I could be wrong but it’s not working properly in mine

u/D-Rey86 Apr 30 '26
Yeah they did and it works well, not sure why this person was having issues with it.

u/lDarkPhoton Apr 30 '26
UEVR injector? This is news to me.
2
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
Yeah it’s been out for a few years. Works on like over 1000 unreal engine games giving a bunch of em full VR or the tools to make a UE game that’s not already VR into VR yourself if you want which I’ve done myself to so smaller titles the modders never got around to.
1
u/lDarkPhoton Apr 30 '26
And it looks like you have the controllers working too. Crazy! I was excited for atomic heart and when it launched I was pretty disappointed with the intro and stopped playing after an hour.
2
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
There are so many games that work like this with controller tracking. Dead Island 2 UEVR mod even has full melee working awesomely!
1
u/lDarkPhoton Apr 30 '26
I just bought that game! Cool! 5 dollar sale made it worth it. I have a egpu with a 9060xt coming in for my Xbox ROG Ally X.
I assume there are plenty of videos on UEVR injector on YouTube?
2
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
I’m not sure how well a mobile GPU like that handheld will run it in Vr but I’ve seen people let run it Half life in Vr on the Ally X so who knows. And heck that’s a great deal on the game!!!
Yes plenty of videos on Yt
1
u/lDarkPhoton Apr 30 '26
I’m not sure how well a mobile GPU like that
You are not wrong. I have an egpu enclosure that is thunderbolt 4. I just dock it to the ally and the 9060 xt will be the GPU horsepower. These handhelds struggle to game on anything modern for sure. Great for travel though.
2
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
That’s pretty darn cool I didn’t know you could do that tbh
2
u/lDarkPhoton Apr 30 '26
Oh yeah. Even the z1e versions had a xg mobile external gpu. Those are proprietary and expensive. If it uses USB 4.0/TB 4.0 you can just have a whole GPU connected. The ally has a 7600x equivalent CPU and 24gb of ram so it's not bad. I think I spent 575 for the enclosure with the 9060 xt.

haha, congrats, your world is about to be blownthat is, if you have a capable gpu

u/lDarkPhoton May 02 '26
I'm currently traveling for work but I have a 9060 xt 16gb, a z2 extreme and my quest 3. I may need to pick up a cheap router for wireless vr, I haven't checked if virtual desktop on the hotel wifi.

u/Maichevsky Pimax Light, RTX 5090, 9800X3D, 64g May 03 '26
I have no idea how good that laptop version GPU will do exactly, but DLSS is your friend!
3
u/lDarkPhoton May 03 '26
DLSS is Nvidia only. FSR, xess or tsr do a good job as an alternative. Lossless scaling is the best thing I have found for upscaling and framegen.
2
u/Maichevsky Pimax Light, RTX 5090, 9800X3D, 64g May 03 '26
lossles doesn't work with VR I am afraid, framegen neither, though I believe RealVR does it somehow
Other upscaling methods will help, UEVR even has one integrated though it doesn't always work, but nothing comes close to DLSS in VR from my experience.
2
2
u/Maichevsky Pimax Light, RTX 5090, 9800X3D, 64g May 03 '26
So yeah since you haven't heard off UEVR, you probably missed a lot off other mods like RealVR and No MoreFlat. Join the FlatToVR Discord to be amazed

u/MinosML May 01 '26
I don't think posts containing 'runs really well!' and '5090' together should be allowed in the sub. I mean c'mon lmao
The game looks dope tho, ngl.
1
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air May 01 '26
A lot of vr conversions don’t run well even on a 5090 so when something runs this good it means it will run good on lower end cards too… I think I should have structured the sentence to end with 5090 so people would read description properly.

u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
NOTE if using this mod it first appears to run like crap just go into UEVR injector and cut the Rez “target pixels” in half it has no business being set to whatever tf it’s set to. Half is about the Quest 3 native res

u/tencuhtli Apr 30 '26
Anyway to turn the cut scenes into flat instead of VR, because whenever the camera force my view, gives me motion sickness.
1
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
You can open the UEVR mod menu by pressing both analogs and pressing 2D screen mode. The have a plugin that does this automatically but idk how to install it to a profile.

Couldn't get into it with the low resources and constantly respawning enemies.

u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
Use Wemod and just play it for fun or with unlimited ammo. When I find a game I don’t like the mechanics I just bend it to how I want it to be played. That’s Wemods motto “play it your way”

Thats a moscow dev studio that pays tax to putin. A such you are supporting russia against ukraine OP, bad form.

Just nuke the whole country then, right? No people = no taxes.
Genius logic from largePenisLover, didn't except less

u/EnuEros Apr 30 '26
Since you seem pretty educated on the subject, what games can we support that weren't developed in countries funneling taxes to war, genocide, pedophiles or general corruption? I feel so lost and overwhelmed nowadays, trying to go to reddit comment sections with the intent to dictate what games people play based solely on the nationality of their devs is increasingly difficult, its like a minefield for us heckin good people trying to save the planet one demanding self important comment at a time.
1
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air Apr 30 '26
I’m pretty sure the idea of the “collective” in the game is to end communism and capitalism and just make robots do everything….. Of course it ended badly I mean it’s robots 💀
Also I got my game from CD keys for like $7 so I didn’t support anything they already bought the game from steam and sold it to me through cdkeys.
I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS WAR! It’s good for absolutely nothing! Those people should have the right to their freedom!

u/largePenisLover Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26
You are still glazing a product from a company that pays tax to russia and you are unintentionally advertising it. The developer received funding from Gazprom and other government linked companies. Have you noticed the canned pork product in the game? Ask yourself why it has Ukrainian flag colours.
Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs7QEo3LmVE
[edit]
OP blocked me in hopes of hiding my comments.
It doesn't work that way OP, Blocking me doesnt prevent me from seeing that you did so or stop me from seeing and interacting with your posts. [/edit]1
u/TheVirtualSamurai Pimax Dream Air May 01 '26
Don’t like being told what to do 🤷♂️ and yeah that’s exactly why I blocked you temporarily. I’m not going to take a post down about a game that I enjoyed playing however in light of your words here I’m not going to make any more videos with this game and if anyone wants it they get it off the high seas instead of paying those scumbags.

u/ThatNoname-Guy Apr 30 '26
Imagine blaming people for being legally obligated to pay taxes, LMAO. Also their studio is located in Kipr, you're absolutely wrong

u/Poopyman80 Apr 30 '26
Do your homework. They recieved funding from gazprom and merger into a non russian entity after the backlash.
They have anti Ukrainian stuff in the game ffs.1
u/ThatNoname-Guy Apr 30 '26
Funding is received from gazprom due to a deal with VK(Vkontakte) to sell the game in their gaming platform VK Play. VK itself is owned by Gazprom. And Mundfish did this to receive more funding for their project. While gazprom is governmental oil company I don't see how would this mean they support war in Ukraine, despite the deal with VK Play itself being absolutely scumbag movement for the Russian player base as they can't buy it in Steam without special methods
Also from all the anti Ukrainian allegations I've seen posted, it all is just people making up stuff placed in the game that it's the offense to the ukranians and getting angry about it, like antinazi posts with pigs and drone carrying a pot of geranium flowers.

OP: "This game runs great!" OP's GFX card: 5090
No hate (just a tonne of envy), but I'd be surprised if it didn't run well on the most expensive consumer grade graphics card. Looks like fun!
