Unreal Engine 4.17 Preview

Just want to let everyone know I’ve been working on android/daydream apps and the new audio mixer system is really cool. In terms of immersion just having spatial attenuation greatly increases the immersiveness of a game. Also, it is my recommendation to try and bring in the very latest version of google vr plugins for the eventual 4.17 release. I am fairly certain this recent commit, uploaded yesterday, solved an incredibly irritating problem I was experiencing in both 4.16 and 4.17 involving visual artifacts/erratic behavior of the virtual motion controller: .com/googlevr-unreal/UnrealEngine/commit/6ffbe30b34dffe410a1e2f0dbca1a6c5ca06fa86 . I don’t feel confident enough in myself to say there was a definite cause and effect relationship – quite honestly I don’t understand the code that was changed – but after I downloaded and then rebuilt everything in visual studio using this particular version of the set of google vr motion controller plugins, used in conjunction with a 4.16.2 version of the engine, my problem went away completely. I am just barely starting to learn visual studio and c++ so it’s just as likely I accidentally hit some checkbox somewhere in some blueprint to either cause or solve the problem I’ve been experiencing so take what I write with a grain of salt.
