Joelony2012 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 It's awful. That's why Bethesda patched Skyrim to give users the option to disable it. No patch for FO4VR though... There are setting tweaks to make movement faster and I may end up doing that if there isn't a mod that just allows for standard movement. Also, there is no way of jumping out of the water. Even objects/places clearly meant to be accessed this way cannot be reached. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeonsLegend Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 FO4 was never built to be used with VR, but Bethesda released it anyway. I can't help you, but I do wonder what swimming in VR is like. How does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbastard42 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Haha, it took me ages to work out that you have to physically "swim" in order to swim in FO4VR! I mean actually flailing your arms around like a complete loonie with the controllers in your hands in order to move. Crazy :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIIMISFIT Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 This is a serious issue. Can we get this topic looked into? I don't care if I necro this post, Fallout VR swimming breaks the game! You can't even jump out of the water!!! Is there no one out there willing or capable of modding a fix for this? There's no way Bethsoft didn't look at this and just say "f*#@ em".

ntblood Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I've been able to get underwater sometimes only by using Advanced Settings overlay in SteamVR to lower my perspective. Although getting out after can be tricky, raise perspective even more and hope it lets you walk onto land afterwards.You have to "pull" yourself in the direction you want to go to. imagine you're doing a breaststroke, you pull the trigger when you're scooping your hand and pulling yourself through the water. Try climbing an invisible rope. Point your 2 controllers down to go under water, point them up if you want to get back on surface.// ? INI Settings for swimming - default values here - I went back to the default values here after tinkering a bit. If anyone else finds anything useful with them post it."Maybe changing the drag would help? Or maybe disable the resurface one?"- I think that changing bVrSwimDeliberateResurface to 0 turned off the ability to submerge, go under water but I'm not certain.[VR]fSwimSpeedScalar=1.2500fVrSwimDragCoefficient=0.0500fVrSwimHMDFloatThreshold=0.7200bVrSwimDeliberateResurface=1==========I give up for the most part underwater swimming in FO4VR but not exploring. I just got this great submersible power armor. You can upgrade it to give water breathing with no limit I believe. It's found by taking a rickety boat (on your map in the NE coast) to a secluded lighthouse, then the elevator down, then kill them. Also the big sister outfit is great for a follower when diving. Also the red head lens color can be changed to green or other colors in the power armor workbench.https://www.nexusmod...out4/mods/25591Look familiar, this first photo's location?:https://ibb.co/Pcz9h1chttps://ibb.co/g7GSDPhhttps://ibb.co/9txM5Kkhttps://ibb.co/2hw9bTJI'm switching the water to clear with these INI edits (use Bilago's INI Tweaker to make these changes).https://steamcommuni...66237667978380/(I tried the following mod which was supposed to be a compromise but still couldn't see much more than 10 feet so I dropped it and just went with the INI edits instead for clear water. I added the INI edits in a comment below instead of going to the link above. Some might prefer the lack of long distance vision (like the base game) and use this:https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41649 )Here is a map of interesting areas to explore underwater:https://i.imgur.com/9STyn9e.pngIf you want to cheat and see which locations have loot (chests, safes):https://i.imgur.com/ifC2PuW.pngIf you want all the screenshots of the areashttps://imgur.com/a/SpstOFar Harbor under water exploration map:https://i.imgur.com/OXN2eg2.pngFar Harbor under water exploration screenshots:https://imgur.com/a/SFkTfIf I want to upgrade a harpoon I'll use this mod:https://www.nexusmod...out4/mods/32236Underwater combat (edit: not working in VR, sorry, until we can get a fix maybe):https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/51456This underwater combat mod (edit: also not working in VR) is older and limited to power armor only though says it works with custom power armor:https://www.nexusmod...out4/mods/41633Better Diving sounds (no plugin/esp)https://www.nexusmod...out4/mods/41675Some under water (lore friendly) enemies:https://www.nexusmod...out4/mods/16915(apparently these vanilla enemies will attack under water already too:mirelurk, mirelurk kings, mirelurk hatchlings, mirelurk hunter, and gulpers.
