Quake VR: UNLEASHED 1.0.0
The first release of Quake VR: UNLEASHED, a full VR port of id Software's Quake (1996) on the Ironwail engine.
Install: download QuakeVR-Setup.exe below and run it. It finds your Quake (Steam or GOG), installs the game in its own folder (your Quake install is never modified), optionally downloads the HD textures, and prepares the maps. Updates: the game tells you when a new version is out; run the new Setup to update.
Highlights
- Full-body VR with IK arms and body, physical melee, immersive manual reloading, holsters and ammo pouches
- Physics-driven weapons, props, ragdolls and gore; force grab, climbing, swimming, throwing, slaps and judo
- Enhanced stealth AI, bullet time (wrist gadget), teleporters you can see and shoot through
- VR Calibration and an interactive VR Tutorial, then the VR Hub to launch every campaign
- id1, Scourge of Armagon, Dissolution of Eternity, Dimension of the Past, Dimension of the Machine, Dawn of the Machine and custom maps (Map Library)
- Retro shaders, HD texture support, relit maps, OBS/spectator recording tools
- OpenXR (SteamVR, Virtual Desktop/VDXR, others)
Requires a legal copy of Quake. Windows, PC VR headset.

Warning
AMD Radeon users: if the game crashes on startup, add -nobindless to the launch options. (In Steam: right-click the game → Properties → Launch Options, or add it after -game quakevr in your shortcut's target.) This turns off a texture feature that crashes AMD's OpenGL driver; the game looks the same. Version 1.0.1 will do this automatically on AMD GPUs.
