Webfishing is a game that lets you fish with your friends online, making it perfect for virtual LAN parties in VR! The game is pretty lightweight performance-wise, using only low-poly graphics and has options for resolution and framerate.

The main difficulty is, as of writing this guide, that Webfishing only supports keyboard & mouse and not gamepad controllers. However, we can make it work in VR using custom bindings!

You will need a custom VH bindings profile to play Webfishing using VR controllers. I have made a bindings profile that is pre-configured to work with the game's default controls.

This binding is designed to work with the following VR controller types:
-Meta/Oculus Touch
-Valve Index/Knuckles
-HP Reverb G2 Motion

The Virtual Handheld Bindings directory is located at:

You can also open the Virtual Handheld Bindings directory by clicking the button with the folder icon in the Bindings Menu:

Once you have the Bindings directory open, move or copy the "BindingsProfile11.uwu" file you downloaded in the last step into this folder.

Once you have the "BindingsProfile11.uwu" file moved or copied into the Bindings directory from the previous step, you should now be ready load the profile. Use to "+1" and "+10" buttons to navigate to the 11th profile.

(In case you need help remembering the profile number, this number was chosen because Webfishing was released on October 11th!)

Now press "Load", and then press "Proceed" if prompted.

The custom bindings should now be loaded!

Now that the game's controls are mapped to your VR controllers, you are almost ready to play Webfishing!

There are just a few things left to do:
1) Launch Webfishing via the Steam client (This can be done either via the desktop or by pressing the "Steam" logo on the SteamVR dashboard and navigating to the "Library" tab)

2) Make sure that Webfishing is the in-focus window by checking that the text above the handheld screen says Playing "WEBFISHING (version number)" You can re-focus the window by clicking it on the desktop or by restoring it from the taskbar.

3) Configure the Webfishing settings with what works best for your setup. Here is my recommended settings:


720x480: Since the game already has a pixelated art style, it makes sense to run the game at a lower resolution for performance. You can't even tell it's lower resolution when you're in VR anyway!

Fullscreen: This is to keep the cursor from clicking off the game window accidentally. This can still happen if you have multiple monitors, so be careful!

Vsync Disabled: Disable Vsync so you can set a custom FPS limit

60: Prevents the FPS from going to high and eating system resources for VR

The rest of the settings you can set to however you feel like works best for your system!

4) Make sure you have the game's controls set to default to make sure they're mapped properly!
