Codemasters have released an update for the PC version of their DiRT Rally title, enabling first support for the Oculus Rift VR headset.
PC users can now grab a 10GB update for their installation on Steam, introducing the new feature. Furthermore, DiRT Rally is now also available for purchase in the Oculus Store.
As most titles to when adding first VR support, DiRT Rally is initially be limited to supporting the Oculus Rift, with HTC Vive support to be rumored as coming later down the road as well. Naturally, console users of DiRT Rally will be having to wait longer for VR support as well.
VR in Dirt Rally – Quick Tips
??? To get the game to boot in VR, simply plug in your Oculus headset before you press Play in Steam.
??? We don???t recommend you turn on VR in the Steam Client, as doing so will disable the Steam Overlay on the desktop image of the game.
??? To re-centre your view, just hit the Left Ctrl key.
??? We have added configurable options in the HUD settings in order to reduce motion sickness, which are active by default. We???ve also given each track a comfort rating as a guide to help control motion sickness.
??? DK2 does work with the VR version of DiRT Rally.
In terms of fixes, it???s a very short list ??? but this is one that will improve some of your replays no end:
??? Graphics – Motion blur being applied to AI cars.
As always, please let us know if you???ve got any feedback about this patch in the usual places ??? like here, on our Codemasters forums, or on Reddit ??? but we hope you enjoy the update!
