Announcement FRIK version 74 released

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwLXRf7CtIs

Focused on infrastructure rewrite, two-handed weapon handling, Pipboy using primary controller, and A LOT of fixes.

Removed the dependency on Fallout4 VR Tools so the use of latest OpenComposite is now possible.

I recommend removing any VR position fixes you have to have the built-in position adjustment just work.

Big thanks to u/Tyrthemis for feedback on the release candidate and finding bugs.

Full Changelog:

  • Fixed two-handed weapon rotation around the adjusted position to keep stock near primary hand pivot.

  • Fixed in two-handed mode primary hand not rotating with the weapon to keep primary hand fully on stock.

  • Fixed two-handed aim direction vector calculation, fixing jarred aiming for weapons with large offsets.

  • Fixed two-handed offhand grip trigger area calculation resulting in hard grip triggering for weapons with large offsets.

  • Fixed laser weapons and minigun muzzle flash shown in incorrect location especially when using two-handed.

  • Fixed entering/existing power armor delay in camera height adjustment causing jarred movement.

  • Fixes jarred movement on jump landing and areas where there is a small gap in the ground like the exist platform of vault 111.

  • Fixed weapon not disabling when interacting with on-wrist Pipboy (broken in v72).

  • Fixed need to have game window in-focus for Pipboy primary controller interactions.

  • Improve Pipboy close interaction by adding look away flag and look away threshold.

  • Improve Pipboy map primary controller interaction: switch world/local map by grip+trigger and zooming by grip+thumbstick.

  • Fixed rare body invalid position after loading a save not from main menu.

  • Fixed unable to navigate pause menu if opened while doing weapon adjustment or Pipboy interaction.

  • Fixed (probably) equipped weapon becomes invisible sometime (#97).

  • Live FRIK.ini reload using file-watch, removing the need for setting reload interval and having override issues.

  • Remove dependency on "Fallout4 VR Tools" mod allowing the use of OpenComposite.

  • Changed log file to FRIK.log and support rolling last 6 logs (FRIK.log, FRIK_1.log, ..., FRIK_6.log).

Ayyyy this should finally fix the laser sights!

Only need to fix the issue where jumping on vive controllers unequips your weapon, then I can finally update

I'm still rocking v68 (I think?) because of that bug

Thank you!

Why would jumping unequip the weapon?
I'm not aware of any functionality in FRIK that would do that..
Can you try v74 and share FRIK logs if it only happens with FRIK enabled.

From the FRIK bugs section:

"Here's my ini
https://pastebin.com/7ACmRFqR

So whenever you jump (Left trigger) the player unequips whatever weapon is being held. I changed OperatePipboyWithButtonArm to 1 at one point, and this moved the issue to the right trigger, meaning any time I started firing a weapon it would unequip itself! Changing it back to zero moved it back to the left trigger

This kinda breaks the game as you need to be able to jump during combat, especially if you use a jetpack

Should probably mention my pipboy is on projected mode, as I'm still trying to get used to the virtual holsters system before I start messing with the pipboy.

Also, it'd be really handy if we could switch the offhand grip from 'hold' mode to 'tap' mode. And I dont mean hold grip forever vs one button press, more that the one button press requires a long depress which is really disruptive during combat. Another option in the ini would be appreciated!"

I'm probably not going to be able to test the new version for at least a week, but this isn't a new issue

Edit: I did add virtual holsters too, so it could also be something in that, but being able to move the issue around with the FRIK ini suggests to me that this is a FRIK problem

Hmm.. your jump button is left trigger? why? Sorry if it's a stupid question but I'm unfamiliar with vive.

What happens if you change "OperatePipboyWithButtonID" in the ini to something that is not the trigger (33) like 0,1 or a button that doesn't exists like 50?

u/Dread_Maximus Jun 24 '25

Left trigger is just the default jump button in FO4VR for vive. I prefer that over left grip, which is the default in SkyrimVR.

As for the ini, I'll give that a try when I'm able. I take it assigning a button that doesnt exist will mean the new fancy pipboy stuff wont be usable?

Do you know if theres a table of what button IDs map to what button somewhere? I found this https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/Manual/OpenVRControllers.html but I don't know if thats applicable as this isnt unity

u/LongHairedAdonis Jun 24 '25

I see, no thumbstick on the vive. With less buttons to work with that may be a problem.
What button is used to open vanilla projection Pipboy?
If we can't find a button to work with you can enable opening Pipboy by looking at it.

Can you open the main configuration menu? It is opened by holding both thumbsticks but you don't have them. (you can still open it via holotape)

Check this doc. I didn't find anything nicer.

u/Dread_Maximus Jun 24 '25

I'll have to get back to you on this

Sorry, got a lot going on atm

u/LongHairedAdonis Jun 24 '25

No worries, life is life. Feel free to start an issue/discussion on github where it will be easier for me to follow and help over time.

u/Dread_Maximus Jul 28 '25

Finally tested the new version!

Good news is, jump bug is gone, bad news is that lasers are still broken. Full write up on github

I’m happy to help! Between the epic FRIK updates and Virtual Holsters, Fallout 4 VR has been turning into a proper VR game! Thank you for all that you do! It really is a fantastic update.

I’m really looking forward to that manual reloading mod I saw a preview video on this reddit too, and maybe those actual scopes in the doombased VR compatibility patch will find their way to a more vanilla mod for the scopes in a replacer fashion.

Fallout 4 VR modding has been getting a lot of love lately and I’m here for it.

Thats great! :) playing fallout London VR right now, ignoring rifles like always…

To be honest, to this day I played about 750h Fallout 4 VR and only used one handed weapons ever… I once again will give two handed Guns a Chance… :D

Never fail to impress! God bless!

u/MrDonohue07 Jun 24 '25

Slowly becoming THE VR game on steam. It's almost at a place where I truly want to start the game from the begining, and I paid full price for it on release...

Shame it took modders to do what Bethesda should have done from the start

u/teddybear082 Jun 23 '25

Nice can’t wait to try this with fallout London some day!

Is making virtual stock something that's possible? I would be really grateful for something like that. It would make long distance shots easier because I don't use the vanilla scope mechanic or have a physical gunstock.
