About

A non-commercial fan recompilation of Turok: Rage Wars for Windows PC by XR64 Studios, with experimental OpenXR VR support. The current release is Beta 0.2.0, which fixes a timer-wrap bug that could make rotating pickups disappear.

How it differs from the original

It is Windows PC VR through OpenXR, not a standalone Quest application.

Getting started

Extract the Windows x64 ZIP, keep the DLLs beside RageWarsRecompiled.exe, launch it, select your own supported US v1.0 ROM and choose PC for desktop play or VR for headset play. Press Escape at the start screen, since Enter and Space do not advance it. For VR, connect the headset, make its OpenXR runtime active, set MODELS: CALIBRATED and MOTION CONTROLS: ON, then use ENTER VR.

Known issues & limitations

Head and controller tracking, weapon attachment, near-wall behavior, and shot impacts are experimental.
A calibration ray alone does not confirm projectile accuracy.
Quest 3 through Virtual Desktop has not been retested on this release executable.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game.

You need your own supported US v1.0 ROM.
VR requires a connected headset and an active OpenXR runtime.
VR calibrated models require user-supplied model and calibration files.

Features

The project has experimental OpenXR VR support.

How to install
