Hi all.

Just wondering which is the best mod to use so that I can play HL Alyx without a VR Headset.

Thanks

Fairly sure it is off " ModDB.com " but wanted to check first

Shame, this game is one of the best VR games out there, it's distasteful to play it non VR. I know some people don't own a VR headset but still..

In my opinion it should be available in VR and none VR. As said above, medical reasons for some people. For me, I wouldn't get enough use to justify buying one as they are very expensive.

how well does the Mod work? is it smooth?

Yeah it works flawlessley and is really easy to set up. Takes some getting used to the controls but it runs really well.
Occasionally you get " stuck " but it's easy to correct you just hit the spectate button and you get free again.

Anyone know how to use Health Syringes ? In the bottom left next to the health bar I can see two seperate syringe looking things
I have managed to use them but I pressed a load of random buttons lol

Just over half way through the game. Some glitches here and there especially if you ever use spectate mode. Ocasionally doors which are supposed to open don't and then you have to use the spectate mode to teleport through but generally a fun game

Well after 20 hours I have completed the game. Very good in my opinion

20 hours long?! Ok so my 5hrs playtime so far is early days then

Yeah I didn't do much exploring either, just trying to complete each level as fast as I could. Did use YouTube every now and again for reference because some doors which were supposed to open would not, and I'd then have to teleport through them with the spectate mode

How does this run on older hardware?
I'd planned to play this in VR when it released, but my rig wasn't really up to it with decent visuals. Upgraded my CPU last year to a 5800x, but I'm still rocking a gtx 1080.

Depends what you mean by that.
I have DDR4 ram/Ryzen 5 3600 and a 3060ti fe and it ran perfectly from start to finish in the highest settings at 1440p
