UE4.9.1 does not recognise Rift with 0.6.0.1, and has game breaking performance with 0.7.0.0

Hey Guys,

I was messing around with my DK2 last night and I would like for anyone who is having performance issues to try the following.
Create a new project and instead of using the maximum quality settings try and use the mobile / table setting and see if you get the same problems persist. If it does then add a Post Process volume to the world, set it to be unbound, and then inside of the Lens flares, Reflections, AO, and Bloom sections enable the first property but set it’s value to 0. Then try out the headset and see if your performance problems still happen. I have noticed that turning some of these settings off help my DK2’s performance in VR. Let me know if this works for you or not or if you have any further questions.

Cheers-

Sam

Hey Sam,

I appreciate the suggestion, but how would this contribute to debugging?

I may have misunderstood your post, but the issue is a performance drop compared to a previous engine version with all the same project settings. Obviously creating a blank project with the quality of post processing, reflections, ambient occlusion, bloom at 0 would make performance good in VR, but what would it prove?

I can also achieve performance gains similar to my 4.8.3 and 4.9.0 projects in 4.9.1 by turning off reflections, and turning down screen percentage, but that’s obviously not a solution to anything.
