What is the deal with multiplayer for GearVR? Last time I was working on it GearVR couldn’t join in another game hosted by another GearVR over LAN.
Is this still true?
How can I got about getting multiplayer to work on GearVR without the need for Google play?
I have the same question - is LAN only multiplayer possible running on Android (Gear VR) (maybe with the server running on a Windows PC)?
I managed to get it working by using a pull request from a community member to fix a bug with android as a host. You can see the details in the android thread: Android multiplayer wlan: Android as host device problem - Android Development - Unreal Engine Forums
Would be nice if Epic fixed the android as a host problem in general though as it’s meant to be working there’s just a problem with the hostname that is reported by the host device.
aussieburger,
The pull request #1820 was accepted into 4.12 today. It should show up in master branch soon, and later in 4.12 Preview 1.
Awesome news thanks Chris 
Thanks for the replies everyone.
Ill have a go at that fix for now but I’m glad to see it will finally be getting sorted out in an upcoming release.
