How to enable split screen without Oculus or Multiplayer?

Hi Pumel!

There is a way to enable this without the Oculus plugged in but it does require a some work. Also you’ll only be able to see this when in game an not in the editor.

  • You’ll have to launch from the
    UE4Game.exe. you can find it in the
    default location of C:\Program
    Files\Unreal
    Engine\4.2\Engine\Binaries\Win64
  • From there it’s best to probably make
    a shortcut of the UE4Game.exe and put
    it on your desktop. From there You’ll
    want to Right-Click the shortcut and select “Properties”
  • In the target field you’ll want to add file location of your uproject file. Make sure to add quotation marks around the file path (“C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject\MyProject.uproject”)
  • from there add a space and add the -game and -emulatestereo . The emulatestereo command will recreate the same look as if you had plugged in the oculus

All in all, the target field should look similar to this:

“C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.2\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Game.exe” “C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject\MyProject.uproject” -game -emulatestereo

You’ll be able to run this every time you want to test out the oculus view for your game! Let me know if you have any additional questions!
