All right, I could finally solve this puzzle.

Reason was that I have set the various settings that determine the camera component’s behavior only on the client, but not on the server where the character spawned.

Here are the settings:

VRReplicatedCamera->bUsePawnControlRotation = true;
VRReplicatedCamera->bAutoSetLockToHmd = false;
VRReplicatedCamera->bLockToHmd = false;
VRReplicatedCamera->bFPSDebugMode = true;
VRReplicatedCamera->bUpdateInCharacterMovement = false;

if (UVRCharacterMovementComponent* const cmc = Cast<UVRCharacterMovementComponent>(GetMovementComponent()))
{
	cmc->bAllowMovementMerging = true;
	cmc->bUseClientControlRotation = true;
	cmc->bRunControlRotationInMovementComponent = true;
}

When I set these on both client and server (as they do not replicate) it works.

My takeaways are:

  • It is possible to use desktop or vr with the same UReplicatedVRCameraComponent
  • Setting the control rotation via AddYawInput() on the client is okay
