What’s Happening With UZDoom?

[Jay0]

Guys, is there any plan to support VR for UZDoom? Some kind people made a port for Quest 3 based on LZDoom, which in turn is based on an older version of GZDoom. It would be super cool to install current mods on the standalone version of Quest 3.

As a sound designer, I'm especially interested in playing VR because of the binaural audio and immersion.

i believe the engine already tehcnically supports stereo rendering for VR in opengl mode (but not in vulkan mode), but doesn't support motion controls like the VR-focused forks, and i don't think any of the devs have experience with, nor proper hardware/space for VR development. (ex. i own a quest 2 headset myself but haven't had the free space to properly use it for over a year now)
that said, improvements to VR will be welcome from new contributors

Thanks for the info, Jay!

The most current VR fork is really good. https://github.com/emawind84/QuestZDoom/releases
I use VR regularly and spend 95% of that time modding Doom

I wonder if it's possible to run the new versions of GZDoom or UZDoom in a headset, but on a flat screen, as if you were streaming a game from a PC?

Where can I find early UZDOOM builds, particularly between 4.14.3 stable and 5.0.0-pre1? I'm trying to catch a nasty bug in the Brutal Doom mod that does not exist in 4.14.3 (and in GZDOOM), but is already present in 5.0.0-pre1 and in all later builds up to 5.0.0-pre163.

So when will a official release that I dont have to compile be made? Am waiting to finally switch from GZDoom.

It's already been made. Look for UZDoom 4.14.3 here:

AWESOME! I'll finish my playthrough with GZDoom and then finally switch

We don't have historical development builds available. You best bet is to open a detailed bug report here: https://github.com/UZDoom/UZDoom/issues. We can then find the source of the issue from there.
