Epic's low priority on GearVR and VR in general makes me sad

A quick tip for anyone getting the “only rendering in left eye despite Mobile HDR being turned off” bug, check to see that you have static lighting turned on under Project Settings -> Engine -> Rendering -> Allow Static Lighting. Also make sure the checkbox is NOT checked at World Settings-> Lightmass -> Advanced -> Force No Precomputed Lighting.

I was getting that problem with static lighting completely disabled. My guess is the renderer has no idea what to do in this situation and craps out. Be sure to restart the editor after changing these settings. Running fine now with Mobile HDR off! I’m on a build compiled from source at the 4.7.1 tag.

Many thanks for this info sinoth - unfortunately when doing JJ’s instructions above, this step:

• Change the options to ‘Mobile / Tablet’, ‘Scalable 2D / 3D’, ‘No Starter Content’

already has those settings (allow static lighting ON and Force no Precomputed Lighting OFF). Anything else that needs tweaking to get the FPS template working?? Frustrated at not being able to play around with some ideas on the gearVr

PS: which Note 4 model do you have? Snapdragon or Exynos ?

EDIT: ah I just read:

I’m on a build compiled from source at the 4.7.1 tag.

So this means it’s still not working on the Binary 4.7.1 release? the release notes are a bit misleading then

"New: Android builds can now target GearVR by enabling the GearVR plugin, and selecting the GearVR in the Android packaging project settings. "
