Textures vibrate in VR mode (screenshot included)

This is related to this thread in the UE4 forums:

When you are moving your character textures seem to “vibrate” making it very hard to converge on the image and disorienting. I also notice it (or something similar) happening when I press the PAUSE key on my keyboard. The textures seem to blur and vibrate in the same way if you let it sit paused for a few seconds.

Here is a screenshot demonstrating the issue

Hey, make sure that TXAA isn’t on. Great for a 1080 but we are on 800. That is unblur a bit, or delete/edit the post processing.

Unfortunately Chris, deleting post processing or anything from the scene outliner does not resolve the issue. Hopefully this gets resolved tmek, it seems like we are the only ones posting on this! It’s one of those things that I assume people just aren’t “paying attention” to, but really does affect the experience negatively. Things like this makes for “so-so” VR and we really need great VR right now.
It’s making me feel a little doubt in UE4’s VR quality right now, but I will stick through because I’m sure it will get resolved.

Scale back the AA. Quick setting at the top of the browser, engine scalability, and crack it back.
I don’t seem to have the same issue. If that doesn’t help let me know. It could be the rift correction jacking it up. I have a few oculus I’ll try another one. Is the blueprint map the main issue?

Last thing try quick setting at the top of the editor, engine scalability, and adjust. If that doesn’t work it could be the Oculus is doing it. I don’t have the issue but I’ll check it out on another Rift tomorrow.

okay, it was indeed related to temporal AA and the rift. I had to go to the scene outliner, the click the post process effect, in details pane below scroll to misc (clicked the white drop down arrow) choose AA mode none. It looks so much better now when moving, doesn’t hurt my eyes anymore. Thanks for the help.

Tick motion blur and turn that down too, the rift already has a lot of that, no need to add to it :slight_smile:

Hi there,

maybe a little bit late, but I got a similator problem and didn’t want to give up the glorious temporal AA of UE4. Here’s the solution:

Summary: If you got this problem, too:

  • Change the font material’s blend mode to translucent (and set it’s opacity to 1)
  • Activate responsive aa
  • Set the ‘translucency sort priority’ of your background mesh actor to a negative value

This was an issue with TXAA and VR in an old version of UE4 from over a year ago. It’s been fixed for a long while now. I’m just putting this here to close out the question
