100fps+ down to 18fps in the Rift???

Just wanted to add that I’ve been working on a scene in 4.5.1 with the 0.4.2 runtime. I’ve been able to achieve 75fps in direct mode with the editor minimized. Last night I installed the 0.4.4 runtime files after hearing that most people were having much better performance and the vignette had been removed as well. But my results have been that good. Direct Mode is fairly worthless unless I turn down most of my post effects and AA, and Extended is better, but still no where as usable-able as things were in 0.4.2 and possibly the combination of 4.5.1.

Well i’m not so sure about most people having much better performance with 0.4.4 than 0.4.2… myself and a few others have reported much worse performance after 0.4.3… I sometimes wonder if the people that have NOT noticed a decrease in performance is because they have Windows 8.1 instead of Windows 7, or because they didn’t try 0.4.2 in DIRECT mode + AERO OFF + mirror OFF + a screen percentage that was on the limit of barely hitting 75 fps… in those conditions i could run my scene at “hmd sp 140” on 0.4.2, but i have to go down to “hmd sp 110” to have it playable on 0.4.3 / 0.4.4 (blurry mess in comparison).

Does anyone know if we have the option of running 4.6 with 4.2? I’m going to try to rebuild the scene in 4.6 as soon as I get back home. And then I’ll try that Oculus build of the engine on github before rolling back to the previous runtime and at worst the previous build of the engine. I was really needing the 3D UMG Widget feature. I’ll post my results later.

Nope using something compiled on UE4.6 (GitHub version) with the 0.4.2 runtime will give the following message: “This App requires the 0.4.4 version of the Oculus Runtime”.
