Single/Multiplayer, Touch & Vive blueprint only Template

dethayngel · July 18, 2018, 7:05am

When I load the multi-map from the main menu widget, the screen blacks out then I’m right back where I started (in the main menu map), if I try again, the main menu disappears completely. If I try and load the VR Essentials Map from the main menu, it loads fine. Any idea why this happens?

Also, If I host a level on a LAN network using the vr essentials map (the only one I can get to run), no sessions pop up on my other computer, I made sure that they can see eachother on the network in windows.

EDIT: I’m using oculus, Ue4 4.19.2, I’m looking to run the template only on a LAN, and I’m using the Ue4 build straight from the launcher, and your template from: GitHub - ProteusVRpublic/ProteusTemplate: Single/Multiplayer VR Template for Touch/Vive Controllers and Avatars

Should I be building from here: https://github.com/Oculus-VR/UnrealEngine instead?

or does it not matter because I’m only looking to run LAN

EDIT2:
I got the other server match that I started to show up on my other rig, however when my second headset/client joins in, their screen is all black.
I’m using the VR Essentials Map to test because the multi-map is still giving me the same issue.

UPDATE 3:
Got multiplayer to work on the VR Essentials map via LAN, however when trying to load the multi-map or any map I’ve added in it still has the same problem. The screen blackouts for a second, the level doesn’t load and the players back in the main menu area, and when I try a second time the menu disappears completely.

Hey @

I was wondering what you did to successfully get the servers to show up on the other computer? I’m also focused on getting this working on a LAN. I’m on 4.19.2 also. I’ve turned off firewalls and the computers can successfully ping each other. My Steam is turned off and I’ve followed all the other directions in the included PDF. Any ideas? Thanks.

if you see this. Thanks so much for the incredible template. Any help would be immensely appreciated.

UPDATE : I got LAN working. I think it might be because in the widget HostMenu, a variable Enable Lan? appears disconnected. I’m still having issues with certain computers on my network not being able to host successfully but this is probably a network issue or something.
