Refactored and optimized VRmod version for Garry's Mod for x64 branch. Core development targets Linux, with full support maintained for Windows, including both Legacy and x64 branches.

VRMod and its components—such as hand physics, melee attacks, and item interaction—are maintained by different authors. This often results in compatibility issues, broken features, or abandoned modules.

This build focuses on optimization by re-implementing essential features from semi-official forks and third-party addons, with an emphasis on performance, cross-platform stability, and code de-duplication.

All-in-one package for streamlined setup and easy installation. Ideal for users who want a functional VR experience without scavenging and combining multiple outdated modules.

If you're coming from another VRmod version or setup, it is strongly recommended to reset your VRmod settings (which may include manually deleting convars and cleaning ../garrysmod/data/vrmod folder) to avoid residual conflicts or performance issues. If you have some weird errors about empty lua files, can't run "vrmod" command and etc, make sure that you've read the instructions. Before reporting errors, disable all the addons and purge the cache from <Steam install folder>\steamapps\workshop\content\4000 to confirm that problem is not on your side, If it crashes post a crash log into discussion.



What's New:

Refactored codebase for improved stability and cross-platform compatibility
Fixed rendering issues on Linux (native x64 builds)
Fully supported on Windows (both x64 and Legacy branches)
Improved UI with new rendering settings
Cursor stability fixed in spawn menu and popups
Better performance and reduced latency across systems
Integrated hand collision physics for props (no more unintended prop sounds)
Added clientside wall collisions for hands and SWEPs
Rewritten pickup system:
Manual item pickup
Multiplayer-friendly design
Serverside weight limit
Adds halos for visual clarity
Clientside precalculation to reduce server load
Supports picking up NPCs
Interactive world buttons
Keypad tool support
Support for dropping and picking up non-VR weapons
Melee system overhauled: trace-based with velocity-scaled damage + bonus for weapon impact
Functional numpad input in VR
Glide support
Motion driving with wheel gripping (engine based vehicles + Glide) Make sure to assign pickups on grips in SteamVR bindings (in vehicle tab). Also there are most of the Glide extra actions available, don't be afraid to use chords.
Motion-controlled physgun: rotation and movement based on hand motion
Gravity gun now supports prop rotation, just like HL2 VR
UI now works correctly while in vehicles (given the mouse click is set in bindings for vehicle)
Likely more small fixes and improvements under the hood



Installation Guide:

Switch to the x64 branch of Garry's Mod and disable any other VRmod versions and related addons (Manual pickup, hand physics, etc.) to avoid conflicts.

Recommended settings:

Run your Gmod in a lower resolution, windowed.
Higher resolution will not improve VR rendering.

Use low settings for shadows and water reflections, disable VSync and motion blur.
Recommended FPS limit is either the same as your VR headset refresh rate or x2 of that.
Anything above that is waste of GPU power. Any "fps boosters" at your own risk.

Keep in mind that really big maps with a lot of details, especially trees and bushes will perform worse. Similar story with InfMaps or maps that are "glued together".

Same goes with addons. Not everything is going to work, especially animation changing addons. Non standard shaped player models like small animals will not work.

Make sure not to use any post-processing such as ReShade, it will break the mod.

If you are having rendering issues, visit rendering tab in the vrmod settings and follow the hints.

If controls are weird, they need to be adjusted in SteamVR. If you used other versions of vrmod detele bindings and action manifest from gmod/data/vrmod. I uploaded couple of configs for quest 2 and quest 3, try to find them.

If "vrmod" command is not found, and you have plenty of other addons, you might want to adjust addons load order and put VRmod on top of the list.
