A black vertical bar appears on the render target when displaying output from SceneCapture2D in VR. Increasing screenpercentage to 143 for a 1920 * 1080 render target removes the black bar but of course causes a nasty performance hit.
Hello soylent_me,
I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.
Quick questions:
- Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
- If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
- Can you provide screen shots of any settings/blueprints that may be involved?
I’m traveling at the moment but as I recall, one needs to:
- Create a scenecapture2d and rendertarget, assign the scenecapture2d to the rendertarget, and create a material from the rendertarget.
- Create a Plane object and apply the material.
- Set rendertarget to resolution 1920*1080
- Set the material to unlit and emissive (I don’t think this is relevant but just in case)
- Play with VR Preview and Voila! Vertical black bar
I found another user (@alecmoody) with what appears to be the same issue:
I was attempting to set up spectator screens to capture some VR gameplay footage from different angles and I am seeing this artifact. A few details: *It only occurs in VR mode *The black bar is actually in the texture generated by the render target *The width and position of the black bar is determined by a ratio of r.ScreenPercentage and the render target size: http://i.imgur.com/yDj2vNu.jpg For a 1920x1080 render target r.ScreenPercentage 143 moves the bar fully to the right. As the r.ScreenPercentage gets smaller it moves to the left.

I’m using a Rift, 1070, and latest nvidia driver.
Hello soylent_me,
I was able to reproduce to this issue on our end. I have written up a report and I have submitted it to the developers for further consideration. I have provided a link to the public tracker. Please feel free to use the link provided for future updates.

Make it a great day
Brilliant, thanks!
