UE-105452 [Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-105452)](https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-105452) This happens when you hit play in VR with a metahuman in the scene. I wanted to control the camera in VR. If I remove the groom, no crash. I tried with the basic scene, Minimal\_Default, with a static MetaHuman Amelia On Windows 10, 64Go Ram, 2080Ti, AMD Ryzen 3800X, Valve Index Is there a setting for the MetaHuman groom in VR? Thank you. ---

Groom is just very buggy right now. There are a few things I have done to try and minimize crashes. - Disable simulation in all hair types. - Remove any LODs beyond LOD1 in hair and beards. - - Remove shadow rendering from all attached body parts such as hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, fuzz, beard, mustache. When working with Groom and MetaHumans make sure you backup like every 5 minutes or you will find yourself redoing the same work over and over again.
