3. Unrar `GTAV_REAL_mod_by_LukeRoss.rar` into the main game folder, i.e., the one where `GTA5.exe` is, usually something like `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V`. There should be no need to overwrite any existing files: if the extraction program asks you to do that, it is probably because you have other mods installed, which you should remove at least temporarily (see point 1).
4. This step is very important: if you fail to do this, chances are that the R.E.A.L. mod will not work at all. Go to your `Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V` folder, and make a backup copy of the `settings.xml` file that contains your current graphics settings. Then, *replace* and overwrite your `settings.xml` with either of the two versions that were put inside the `Grand Theft Auto V` folder when you extracted the mod: select `Grand Theft Auto V\Settings\Low\settings.xml` if you have a low-end system, or `Grand Theft Auto V\Settings\High\settings.xml` if you have a high-end system. Later on, if you are so inclined, you will be able to refine the settings to your liking as explained in the [Advanced tweaking](#advanced-tweaking-and-hotkeys) section, in order to find the best possible balance between graphic quality and frame rate.
**UPDATE: A few people are reporting that the game insists on overwriting the settings file, changing the resolution and making the mod unstable/unusable. Just to be on the safe side, perhaps it's better that after replacing your `settings.xml` you set it to read-only, at least until we can identify what triggers the issue.**
**UPDATE 2: Several users report problems with the custom settings file being ignored by GTA V. This can lead to symptoms like vsync being forced on, the game running fullscreen while it should use a square borderless window, poor detail/jaggies in the distance, etc. It appears that you have to copy the line with your videocard description near the end of the file from your own `settings.xml` and use it to overwrite mine, where it says `<VideoCardDescription>NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti</VideoCardDescription>`. Apparently GTA V will fetch the settings from the file only if the video card name matches the one being used in the system.**

5. Remember to set your Windows default audio device to the Rift headset, otherwise you will have no sound in game (this step can later be automated with the [Oculus Tray Tool](https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/47247/oculus-traytool-supersampling-profiles-hmd-disconnect-fixes-hopefully/p1) by creating a profile for GTA V and enabling the Audio Switcher).
6. Put on your Rift, pick up a gamepad if you wish, launch the game and marvel at the beauty that is Los Santos in VR! Whenever you need to recenter your view or to realign the HUD in front of you, just shake your head briefly as though you were saying no (more details in the [Recentering your view](#recentering-your-view-in-vr) section below).

I am using ReVive to be able to use my Valve index with the oculus software. Usually, on the GUI inside the headset there is my oculus library with all of my games- but i cannot see gta5 on the list even though it is visible in the library on my desktop.
