Recently updated with working builds for RE2/RE3/RE7 Ray Tracing updates

If you're NOT using the recent Ray Tracing updates for RE2/RE3/RE7, download the zip files that have "TDB" in them. Otherwise, just download "RE7.zip" for example if you're using the latest version of RE7.

Overview

This update adds full motion controls to RE7 and RE8, as well as adds OpenXR support.

RE8 had motion control support previously, but was very experimental. This update further refines the motion controls in RE8.

To use VR

  • Install SteamVR (unless you plan to use OpenXR on a supported headset)
  • Simply extract ALL of the files in the zip for your respective game into your game install folder.

To use OpenXR:

  • Perform the above steps, but do not extract openvr_api.dll into your game folder, but do extract openxr_loader.dll.
  • If you are using an Oculus headset or one that has a native OpenXR runtime, make sure you switch to your headset manufacturer's OpenXR runtime for the best experience

If you DON'T want to use VR or don't have a VR headset:

  • Only extract dinput8.dll into your game folder. DO NOT extract the other files, or your game may crash.
