No AO and reflections after turning off forward rendering

I am creating a VR demo, and turned on forward shading so that i might gain performance.
However after gaining little to no performance increases, and no AO and no reflections I turned off forward shading.

Problem is my AO is now gone and my reflections too, I baked the scene again, checked world settings, post process volume and project settings but AO is turned on everywhere.
But I am still not seeing AO anymore?

Setting the engine scalability to cinematic instead of epic, fixed the AO and reflection problem.
