I’d like some help working out how to enable the vive hmd to work in the standalone preview in ue4, My game starts and also packages correctly, however despite using the enable HMD blueprint node and the vr.bEnableStereo True command both in blueprint and as a console command, it has not done anything but show the player camera sitting on the floor and showing nothing in the vive hmd, start in vr in project settings is also already enabled.
Can somebody please help me to get the hmd to start working for my game, I dont know what else to try.
I would check to see if its an issue with possessing the player character if all those others are correct. Typically, it’s steamvr that I need to reset when it does this.
that would probably be the case, I haven’t changed those settings, could you please let me know what the settings need to be?
the player is being possessed, but the hmd remains blank and isn’t displaying anything when the game starts.
To build on this in case it pops up on searches, I have found that’s it was more of my misunderstanding of all the systems involved that caused my game not to start in VR. For VR, I’ve used 4.19, 4.20, and 4.21 and all have sufficiently worked with the start in vr option alone.
If you are having trouble in the editor, what it usually is for me is SteamVR. When an app opens that uses VR, SteamVR “latches” to it and if you try to open another program that needs it, the system can’t tell which it needs to work with and usually doesn’t work. It will stay like this until you close all apps using it, and restart SteamVR. I have to say with the most recent update, it isn’t as bad on the restarting SteamVR portion, but I find that I have to usually restart it more frequently due to “compositor not found” issues.
