ah i remember HL1 VR version on my DK2 too if that's what you're talking about? Ravenholm
....Good times...About whether it will come out, in the reddit link I gave the person mainly responsible for the HL2VR mod does say that they've taken over from someone else, that they had a load of source code to work on, and have made some major changes & updates. Right now the mod is playable from the start of the game up until you get to driving the boat, so still a way to go yet.
Deffo progress has been made but yeh will it be finished?
nibre isn't on the list of credits here https://halflife2vr.com/about/
i decided to get ready for this mod release by buying & installing the game although somewhere in the back of my mind i thought i already had it, i was a click away from buying it from a key reseller, decided to check the price on steam first, and it stated it's in my library! i already have it 
installed it, whacked up the resolution and AA, vorpx'd it and it looks/plays pretty good, fingers crossed the vr mod should be even better. i tried a graphics mod but it didn't work, the game crashed. can anyone recommend a graphics upgrade mod? it must be 1 that doesn't use custom dll's otherwise it would conflict with the vr mod.

No i didn't know that, who is 'they'? The vr modders or valve?
I found a HL2 mod on Steam that has its own store page, it updates a few things :
store.steampowered.com
Edit: this doesn't work with the vr mod as they are separate game installations.

it's a whole new hl2 game install (called Half-Life 2 VR), it's about 4GB, it doesn't touch your original HL2 install (if you have it installed, you don't need it installed u just need to own it).
Nope, the hl2 update and hl2 vr are in different directories. You can however update the textures of hl2 vr.

Found these haven't tried them yet. I actually think the graphics aren't too bad and are great for a 2004 game. I have MSAA x 8 and oculus debug tool pixel override on 1.5, quest 2 resolution in oculus home pc app on max.
just tried again this (monday) morning, no go, it's google drive poo'ing itself at 3 people downloading it in a day.
has anyone managed to download it? don't suppose you'd stick it on something like Mega and provide a download link please?

someone found a hack to get around the google drive download limit, it is:
1. With the google drive link opened, click on three dots in the upper right corner and click on "add to starred"
2. Go back to your drive and to the "starred" area
3. To work, you will need to select 2 starred items holding shift and click on download.
