How to make Oculus Rift DK2 work on Unreal Engine 4.7 on Mac?

FYI: I assume you’ve seen that Oculus haved paused Mac support to focus on Winodws?:
Oculus pauses Mac and Linux development, offers PC specs
I guess it might still come down the road however

Thanks! I thought 4.7 was better on that. my bad. I have 8.1 on boot camp partition, I think I made it work there before, with horrible lag.

Does the standalone window disappear when you hit Option + Enter? When it disappears it has moved to the Rift screen. You checked your monitor settings when you have the Rift on? Is the plug-in enabled in the plug-in manager? Just trying to think of all the variables that would affect the rift. I’ve had more difficulty getting Unity VR demos to work correctly, but never had any trouble with Unreal Engine so far. You can also try an older version of the engine, but you’ve probably already tried that!

Thanks. No, the standalone window doesn’t disappear on Mac. On Win 8 I had to hack it through the console with _stereo I think.

Yeah, I saw that announcement the other day, makes me sad and disappointed in Apple for not providing a way to put more advanced graphics cards in their machines or hooked up in an external chassis using thunderbolt or something. So it makes the Mac seem like a second class citizen and less of a priority to Oculus! I understand, but am disappointed. I’m looking for a solution that makes sense.

Agreed. I even got a 7950 in this mac just for oculus
