LukeRoss00 has been working some major quality of life improvements for the mod and it really shows in the latest version. Graphical settings can now be updated without requiring the game to be relaunched and players can set the graphical settings as high as they can go, finally making for a visually comparable VR experience to the regular game. The game can also simultaneously run top graphical mods like NaturalVision Remastered, VisualV, and GTA 5 Redux if players' computers are powerful enough.
The universal FOV fix now allows cutscenes to finally be enabled, overcoming a big functionality hurdle that was present in previous iterations of the mod. The animations for aiming down sights and getting into vehicles are made smoother by this fix as well. More minor updates and fixes include smoother camera rotation is smoother and a reduction in screen flickering.
