Video
- This game requires a virtual reality headset (see VR support for details).
Use launch parameters to adjust anti-aliasing setting.[5]
|
- See Command line arguments.
- Add
-console -vconsole +vr_msaa x , while replacing "x" with the desired MSAA sample count (or "0" to disable MSAA entirely).
- By default, the game uses 4X MSAA.
- As an alternative, "
+vr_fxaa 1 " can be used to enable FXAA (Alongside "+vr_msaa 0 ") if a cheaper anti-aliasing solution is desired.
- If the
-console and -vconsole launch parameters are already being used, there is no need to add those launch parameters again.
|
Disable volumetric fog
Use launch parameters to adjust volumetric fog setting.[6]
|
- See Command line arguments.
- Add
-console -vconsole +volume_fog_disable 1 to disable volumetric fog.
- By default, volumetric fog is enabled, but this tweak can be used to disable it, for the possibility of increased performance.
- If the
-console and -vconsole launch parameters are already being used, there is no need to add those launch parameters again.
|
Disable dynamic resolution scaling
Use launch parameters to adjust resolution settings.[7]
|
- See Command line arguments.
- Add
-console -vconsole +vr_fidelity_level_auto 0 +vr_fidelity_level 3 to disable dynamic resolution scaling, and set the rendering resolution to the headset's native screen resolution.
- If the
-console and -vconsole launch parameters are already being used, there is no need to add those launch parameters again.
|
Spectator window resolution
Use launch parameters to adjust the spectator window resolution.[8]
|
- See Command line arguments.
- Add
-w <width> -h <height> to adjust the spectator window resolution, replacing <width> with the horizontal resolution, and <height> with the vertical resolution.
- This does not affect the internal game resolution, and will crop/scale the in-game view based on the width and height of the window[9]
-
-window can be used alongside this to force the spectator window into windowed mode.
- Alternatively, the spectator window can be disabled entirely using
-nowindow .[10]

VR support
- This game requires a virtual reality headset.
Issues fixed
Subtitles and closed captions not working
- Subtitles and closed captions will not be displayed when the selected Steam client language is not supported by the game.
Change Steam language to a supported one[14]
|
- Change Steam client's language to one supported by the game, e.g. English.
|
Copy subtitle file and rename it to match the Steam client's selected language[15]
|
- Navigate to
<path-to-game>\game\hlvr\resource\subtitles\
- Copy desired language for subtitles e.g.
closecaption_english.dat , copy it into same folder and rename it into the Steam client language, e.g. closecaption_finnish.dat if the Steam client language is in Finnish.
- Navigate to
<path-to-game>\game\hlvr\webui\localization\
- Repeat the process, copy e.g.
hlvr_english.json and rename copy to e.g. hlvr_finnish.json
|
Right eye rendering problems on wide FOV headsets such as Pimax
Disable culling and multiview instancing through launch options[16]
|
- See Command line arguments.
- Add
-console -vconsole +sc_no_cull 1 +vr_multiview_instancing 0 +vr_shadow_map_culling 0 +volume_fog_enable_stereo 0 .
- If shadow culling still occurs with the right eye, it may be necessary to pause the game, open the console (by pressing the tilde (~) key), and enter the
vr_shadow_map_culling 0 command every time a new map starts or when a save slot is loaded.

Enabling the console
Command line[17]
|
- See Command line arguments.
- Add
-console -vconsole .
- Open the console by pressing ~.
- Using
-vconsole will enable Valve's VConsole as opposed to the command console present in Source Engine games. To enable the older command console, just use -console .[18]
|
Change size of spectator window HUD
Use the +hlvr_spectator_hud_size xx command line argument, replacing xx with the desired value.[19]
|
- By default, this value is set to
100 . The scale can be set anywhere between 50 and 150
- Setting the value to
0 disables the spectator HUD.
|
Increase movement speed
Use the +hlvr_continuous_normal_speed 200 +hlvr_continuous_combat_speed 200 command line arguments[20]
|
Notes
-
hlvr_continuous_normal_speed is the standard movement speed when using continuous movement.
-
hlvr_continuous_combat_speed is the movement speed during combat when using continuous movement.
|
Disable weapon muzzle flashes
Use the +muzzleflash_light 0 +r_muzzleflashbrightness 0 command line arguments[21]
|
- This may be useful when the flickering light option is disabled and when the light sensitivity option is enabled, to further reduce the amount of flashing/flickering lights.
