So I steam has gotten the much hyped VR update for Obduction (yay motion controls) what I'm wondering is when we can expect this update and once its here how I can go about launching it in VR mode. Would I have to add it manually to steam to get it launched in Steam VR or ?

I have seen old posts around the interwebs saying that if you use -vr in the shortcut you can launch it in stereoscopic 3d but to the best of my knowledge that won't help me with getting it tracking my controllers =\.

I'd like to know this too. I'd prefer to buy the game on GOG but only if it includes the VR too.

Ditto! Really, 3 days after Steam and Oculus stores, and counting...
Where's v.1.50?

Please!!!VR updated now!!!!!

Its out now and there is a Vive specific link that seems to work, I only ran it for a second because I have some errands to run but it looks like we are all good.

This is working in the latest version 1.5.2a as of this note. You can launch in VR using GOG version.

It was not obvious to me, so perhaps this will help someone else. You launch in VR mode by doing a right-click on Obduction in GOG Galaxy, and using the submenu to chose either Rift or Vive.


Another possible way to launch is to use shortcuts. I wanted this to be able to launch from Virtual Desktop.

Another blind spot for me is that Obduction adds two VR specific shortcuts to the Start menu, under Obduction. Since Win10 ruined the Start menu, I never use it, and thus did not see these. Also, it's typically more convenient to launch from Galaxy.

In case it's helpful, here are the shortcuts.

Vive:
G:\Games\Obduction\Obduction.exe -mode=STVR
Rift:
G:\Games\Obduction\Obduction.exe -mode=ORVR
