The forward renderer supports MSAA, but thats only in master and not in 4.13.

Hi sorry what you mean by it’s supported in Master? Can I enable it in 4.12? (for desktop-pc)

Master is what will be 4.14. So no, you won’t be able to enable it in 4.12, 4.12 does not have the forward shading.

Ah ok!
What decides a version to be a ‘master’? Every other version?
And why does not every version become ‘master’?

Master is the main branch where the next major release is developed. When this is branched off into something like 4.13, this means there is now a 4.13 release branch and the Master branch continues on now as 4.14 to be developed in.
So at one point every major release was master until it just became branched into its own version. 
GitHub gives you access to download and compile this “master” branch to test out things or poke around in what will be in the next major release.

I see now. Thanks that makes sense.
Cheers
i remember something about contact shadows in 4.13 (had seen a video about it…)
will this not be implemented in 4.13 anymore ?
kind regards
This update added nearly everything we had to roll ourselves for the project we currently building. UV hit traces, easier material on quad to RenderTargets, a bunch of pose stuff… All we need is a full featured VR forward renderer 
Expanded notes have been added to the first post in this thread. Please be aware this only touches on some of the updates and new features in this 4.13 Preview. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list, but enough to allow you to test out some of the new functionality in order to help find issues. Full release notes will be available with the 4.13 release in a few weeks.
Cheers
Great release - so many tasty features!
Line trace rendering in VR seems to be broken - it renders only for the right eye (in two different locations). This also seems to affect WidgetInteraction debug info.
Also I noticed line traces seem to lag behind VR motion controllers - probably because of late update, not sure if this is a regression.
Thanks
EDIT: WidgetInteraction works great 
How does the media framework function? I create a source, create a media player, texture for the material, in blueprint open the appropriate source for that media player, play it. I get video but no audio from my video file. Do I have to import the audio as a wav or something still? I hear the audio playing within the media player preview, just not in the game.

If it’s not solved does that mean there are only minor improvements in 4.13? or the ticket is simply not updated to “Solved” ?
Can you clarify please?
Thanks!

I’m still interested in an answer. @ can you please shine some light?

Forward rendering in 4.13 is super early, only the first checkin of many really, and not ready for general use. That’s why it’s not being announced in this release. I expect it will be ready for use in 4.14.
The only things working in 4.13 are the actual forward rendering of multiple lights, with dynamic shadows from stationary lights on opaque. No MSAA (which is the whole point of forward), no significant performance gains, no blended reflection captures, no shadow receiving on translucency or even support for translucency lighting modes.
Capsule shadows are the only supported dynamic AO method. SSAO could be made to work but it’s super low priority due to SSAO generally being terrible in VR (mismatch between eyes causes strain), which is what the forward renderer is targeted at.

Thanks for the answer!
I absolutely need SSAO in my VR project, and I never noticed any problems with that, I have it set to lowest quality but TAA works really well with blurring it so much that it still looks great. I’ve never noticed any difference between the two eyes and SSAO. I really want to use the forward renderer since I need as much performance as possible in VR, but I won’t be able to use it if it won’t support SSAO. I know I’d have to switch to the gaussian blur when using MSAA instead of TAA, but that’s not much of a problem I think.
Are you sure there’s any noticeable problem in VR with SSAO? I used it for months now and I’m quite sure I would have noticed if it wouldn’t look right. I use SSAO mostly to replace dynamic shadows since they are so expensive, and it’s great at faking those shadows with the right settings.

Also still very disappointed to see the context menu search issue on macOS doesn’t appear to be working still. (UE-29885). Unreal Editor went through all of 4.12, including the previews with this issue and looks like still no fix for a major usability problem on macOS.
[/]
THIS! A THOUSAND TIMES, THIS!
Everyone go vote for UE-29885 and UE-29024!!! and lost the ability for the right-click-context menu in blueprints to auto-focus when 4.11 was introduced. And Epic doesn’t seem to care. This affects me constantly.
VOTE!!!

Actually i would love to know a bit more about Improvements to Instanced Stereo Rendering
[/]
In the livestream today they said that setting improves VR rendering performance by up to ~10%
Osman mentioned Mesh Decals on Twitter, do you have more details on these? Cheers!
I was just going to ask the same thing… Any info about Mesh Decals?

Is media playback or video playback working on the yet or not? gmpreussner said he was working on it last week?
no AR support， like google’s tango and microsoft holoens??
I really want that, please…

Thanks for your greate work!
I see the mobile update:Custom Post-Process material support
How can I enable post-process material effects for mobile?Thanks! [MENTION=9] Ellis[/MENTION]
[/]
It’s a same as on other platforms:
Restrictions are: project needs MobileHDR enabled and only PostProcessInput0 is supported.
So when do we get the live stream recap on because most of us can’t actually watch those things. Mainly because twitch is broken on mobile but hey not your issue.
