EuropaVR
A first-person VR mod for Europa (Novadust Entertainment), built on praydog's UEVR.

Europa is a third-person game. This mod turns it into a first-person VR experience: the camera sits at the character's head, the body faces wherever you look, and movement works like an FPS with snap & smooth turning.

What it does

First-person 6DOF view anchored to the character skeleton's head bone, direction of movement is based on headset, controls are adapted for First person VR

Room scale movement with collisions, you can move physically the character will follow, collision will prevent your camera to go inside walls

UI fix the UI should be adapted for VR and readable

Graphic enhancement — render scale set at 100% ( original game is 65% ), can be customized to fit your hardware

Installing
No injector to run, nothing to click. Launch the game normally from Steam and it goes to VR on its own.

1. Get the archive. Download EuropaVR-v0.2.0.zip from Releases, and close the game if it is running.

2. Extract it into your Europa folder. In Steam: right click Europa → Manage → Browse local files. Copy the Europa folder from the archive on top of the one already there. If you did it right, this now exists:

...\steamapps\common\Europa\Europa\Binaries\Win64\dsound.dll

3. Put your headset on and launch Europa from Steam. It starts flat, then switches to VR by itself a few seconds after the window appears.

*If you are on linux you may need to add "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" %command%" as a launch option

Controls

Input Action
Left stick Move, relative to where you are looking
Right stick Turn (snap by default)
Right stick click Pause menu
Insert or L3+R3 UEVR menu (settings, camera offsets)
Everything else keeps the game's own gamepad mapping.

Uninstalling
Delete Binaries\Win64\dsound.dll and the Binaries\Win64\EuropaVR\ folder, and the mod is gone.

One leftover is worth cleaning up though. The mod adds [Audio] and [SystemSettings] sections to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Europa\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini, and [SystemSettings] keeps applying to the flat game — it holds r.ScreenPercentage=100, so the game would run at full resolution instead of the 65% it ships with, and feel heavier than before you installed anything. Delete both sections to put it back as it was.

%APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod\Europa-Win64-Shipping\ is inert without the mod and can be left alone.

If something goes wrong
The loader logs every step to Binaries\Win64\EuropaVR\EuropaVR.log, so it will say where things stopped.

Stays flat — check the log, and that your VR runtime is running.

Crashes on launch — UEVR is loading too early. Raise PostWindowDelayMs to 15000 in EuropaVR.ini. Enabled=0 disables the mod without uninstalling it.

SteamVR shows the game in its desktop theatre and asks you to "Resume game" — expected. Steam hands the game SteamVR's OpenXR runtime, SteamVR sees a flat app, and the mod only turns it into a VR app a few seconds later. Dismiss the prompt once and you are in. Lowering PostWindowDelayMs shortens the flat window. Setting UseSystemOpenXrRuntime=1 removes the prompt entirely by using your own OpenXR runtime instead of SteamVR's — a real change of runtime, so only do it if that is what you want.

Architecture
Three pieces, each where it works best:

Piece Responsibility
src/ — dsound.dll proxy Gets loaded by the game at startup, neutralises the engine's VR plugins, seeds the profile, then loads the VR runtime and UEVR
plugin/ — UEVR C++ plugin Everything rotational: view rotation, snap turn, HMD yaw, body orientation
payload/profile/scripts/ — UEVR Lua script View position, head hiding, spring arm settings
Why a dsound.dll proxy: UEVRBackend.dll exports only g_plugin_initialize_param, so it cannot simply be renamed into a proxy DLL. dsound.dll is statically imported by the game, is not a KnownDLL, and has just 12 exports — the best candidate. xinput1_3.dll was ruled out because UEVR hooks XInput itself.

Why a C++ plugin and not only Lua: UEVR's Lua sandbox exposes no io library and no K2_SetActorRotation, and the rotation handed to the stereo view callback does not contain the headset orientation. From C++ the HMD pose is directly readable, so the world yaw can be derived instead of guessed.

Building
Requirements: Visual Studio with the x64 C++ tools, and UEVR extracted somewhere — its include/ folder is the plugin SDK.

.\build.ps1 # -> build\dsound.dll (the proxy)
.\build_plugin.ps1 -UevrSdk "C:\UEVR\include" # -> build\EuropaVR.dll (the plugin)
.\deploy.ps1 -GameDir "C:\...\steamapps\common\Europa" -UevrDir "C:\UEVR"

To remove everything and return the game to its original state:

.\deploy.ps1 -Uninstall

Performance and image quality
Europa is tuned for flat screens: it renders at 65% resolution and upscales with FSR. That is a sensible trade on a monitor and an expensive one in a headset, so the mod raises it back to 100% and turns FSR off. Stereo rendering at full resolution is well over double the pixels the game normally draws, so expect to give some framerate back.

Everything below is in Binaries\Win64\EuropaVR\EuropaVR.ini, applied to the game's Engine.ini at launch.[/

Setting Default What it does
ScreenPercentage 100 Internal resolution, in percent. The first dial to lower. Try 85, then 75. The game's own default was 65.
FSR 0 Off, because at 100% render scale there is nothing to upscale. Turn it back on if you drop ScreenPercentage a long way and want the sharpness back.
AntiAliasing -1 -1 leaves the game's choice (TAA). TAA is what causes ghosting in VR, but removing it makes the foliage shimmer, and this game is full of it. Try 1 (FXAA) or 0 (none) and pick your poison.
FixVRRendering 1 0 leaves the game's rendering settings completely alone.
Two more levers live outside that file:

UEVR menu → Resolution Scale — scales the VR render target itself, independently of the game's own screen percentage. Adjustable live, in the headset.

UEVR menu → Rendering Method — Native Stereo is the default and looks best. Synchronized Sequential and AFR trade image quality for speed and are worth trying if the framerate is far off.

If you are hunting frames, lower ScreenPercentage first: it is the single biggest cost, and the change is immediately visible.

Settings
Everything is in one file: Binaries\Win64\EuropaVR\EuropaVR.ini.

Its top half is read once at startup — VR runtime, timings, audio fix, rendering. Its bottom half is re-read about once a second, so those apply while the game is running:

Key Effect
YawSign -1 or 1. Flip it if the character turns the opposite way to your head.
YawOffset Constant offset in degrees, if the body sits crooked.
ForwardOffset / UpOffset Push the eye out of the body (cm). These add to UEVR's own camera offsets.
TurnMode 0 snap, 1 smooth. SnapAngle and SmoothTurnSpeed go with them.
PauseButton 0 off, 1 left menu button, 2 left stick click, 3 right stick click.
BookDistance How far the in-game book sits from your face. The game's own value is 145, which is far too close in first person.
The Lua script also hot-reloads from the UEVR menu (Insert key), for the things it still owns — eye height smoothing and how much of the character is drawn.

Tooling
tools/uasset_names.py dumps the FName table of a cooked UE4 .uasset. It is what identified the player pawn, the camera components and the head bone without any game source. It handles unversioned packages — cooked builds zero out the version fields, and the usual version check then wrongly skips the name hashes.

Extracting the .pak uses repak, which is not vendored here.
