Max Payne 2 VR - No PS VR2 helper (test prerelease)

on GitHub

Temporary test variant of rc.62 for users whose antivirus quarantines maxpayne2vr_triggers.exe.

• The PS VR2 feedback helper is not included or installed.
• PS VR2 adaptive triggers and Toolkit feedback are unavailable in this variant. Ordinary controls and SteamVR vibration remain available.
• Includes the rc.62 installer compatibility fix and updated Index controls.
• This is a workaround while the reported detection is investigated, not a declaration that the detection is a false positive.

Install

1. Download max-payne-2-vr-v0.1.0-rc.62-no-psvr2-helper.1.zip below and extract it into a new folder. Do not merge it with the previous installer.
2. Close Max Payne 2. Run Max Payne 2 VR Setup.exe, select the game's maxpayne2.exe, and choose Install / update. Keep setup-files beside Setup.
3. Start SteamVR, launch the game through Steam, and select MP2VR_FirstPerson.

Leave quarantined files quarantined. No antivirus exclusion is required for this workaround. If Setup reports an earlier maxpayne2vr_triggers.exe in the game folder, close the game, delete only that existing file, and rerun Setup.

Valve Index: with Max Payne 2 and SteamVR closed, run the included Fix Index Controls.cmd once. Restart SteamVR afterward. Select Default for Max Payne 2 if using a custom SteamVR binding.
