What's new since v1.8.1
Seeing each other in VR
- Your friend's body follows their VRIK body: hands, fingers, hips and body size, and legs for players using full body tracking.
- No more stretched or invisible player bodies; a friend who goes out of range comes back looking right.
- A friend's name and health show on the game's enemy meter when you look at them or when they are hurt.
- NPCs owned by your friend animate properly on your side.
Fighting together, and against each other
- PVP: swords that meet are felt and heard by both players, and a hit is dropped when the defender's blade blocked it.
- Swords have weight.
- NPCs fight anyone who hits them, not only whoever angered them.
- A hit no longer ends a fight early.
Followers, bodies and items
- Followers keep their gear and come back at once after a loading screen.
- Dead bodies stay in sync, and dragging one is seen by everyone.
- Dropped items follow the hand and land on the floor for everyone.
- Dragons spawn for every party member.
World sync (from Skyrim Together Reborn)
- Leveled NPCs look the same for everyone.
- Steadier hand-over of NPCs between players; pickpocketing updates inventories.
- Dialogue syncs when the NPC belongs to another player.
Stability
- Crashes fixed: fast travel, a ghost being unloaded, physics corruption on remote actors, and several more.
- Works with Engine Fixes VR 7.
- A game version mismatch now shows a clear error.
- After a crash, a small crash dump is saved next to the logs to help us fix it.
Hosting
- The server lets in any client speaking the same protocol, instead of refusing every other build.
- The server runs at below-normal priority, so the host's game keeps its frame rate.
update.bat updates without closing Mod Organizer 2.
Which file
- SkyrimTogetherVR-standalone-v1.9.0.zip: everything for a first install: the mod, its launcher folder, the Windows server and the install guides. Start with README.md inside.
- SkyrimTogetherVR-v1.9.0-update.zip: already installed? Drag it onto
update.bat in your Skyrim Together VR folder.
- SkyrimTogetherVR-v1.9.0-server-update.zip: the Windows server alone, for hosting on a machine without the game. It ships with no password: set yours in
config/STServer.ini.
