Download UEVR Nightly

What’s New

• Added native stereo support.
• Eliminated flickering.
• Added a slider in the UEVR menu to adjust DLSS quality.

Previous Update

• Fixed extreme blur during some cutscenes and combat.

Features

• First-person view with automatic switching to third person when needed.
• Gesture-based combat with haptic feedback.
• Motion-controlled mini-games.
• DLSS 5 support that works correctly in both eyes in VR.
• Right Grip lets you interact with items, open doors and drawers, pick herbs, and perform other interactions.
• Left Trigger opens the menu and also works as a search control near searchable objects or areas, excluding herbs and herb maps.

DLSS 5 Performance

DLSS 5 is extremely demanding in VR.

A GeForce RTX 5090 or GPU with similar performance is required for playable VR performance.

Less powerful GPUs may experience severe frame-rate drops or stuttering.

Installation

1. Install UEVR Nightly.
2. Download Shenmue-3-VR-DLSS-5-Setup.exe from this release.
3. Close Shenmue III.
4. Run the installer and select your language.
5. Select your game installation folder or its Shenmue3\Binaries\Win64 folder.
6. Complete the installation.

The installer places both the game files and the UEVR profile. No manual profile import is needed.

If a Shenmue III profile already exists, the installer asks whether to back it up and replace it. If the backup fails, move or delete the following folder before retrying:

%APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod\Shenmue3-Win64-Shipping\

Starting the Game

1. Start Shenmue III and wait for the main menu after the “Press any key” prompt.
2. Open UEVR Nightly and select OpenXR.
3. Select Shenmue III and click Inject.
4. Press in both joysticks to close the UEVR menu.

Do not inject before reaching the main menu.

Adjusting DLSS Quality

Open LuaLoader → DLSS Resolution in the UEVR menu and adjust the slider. The default is 85%.

Combat Controls

• Elbow attack: Bring either controller up beside your headset.
• Uppercut: Perform an upward punching motion.
• Punch: Punch straight forward.
• Block: Bring both controllers up in front of your headset.

Haptic feedback confirms when an action has been executed correctly.

Important

• The profile is designed for standing during combat.
• You can sit while exploring and during other parts of the game.
• If B is your main select button, enable the B-button option under Button Config in the UEVR menu. This is a one-time setting and takes effect immediately.
• Players who use A as their main select button do not need to change anything.

Bug Reports

When reporting a problem, please include:

• Your headset
• Your GPU
• Your UEVR version
• Whether you use A or B as your main select button
• Where the problem occurred in the game
