SimpleHMD renders only on 1/4 of screen

anonymous_user_d868c905 · May 3, 2016, 1:23pm

In 4.11.2, the SimpleHMD plugin renders only on the top-left 1/4 of the screen.

The test project is unmodified example “FeaturesTour2014”.

VR Preview on 4.11.2:
(same result with “Instanced Stereo” on and off)

For comparison, VR Preview on 4.10.4:

I would be grateful if you could explain the source of the problem or how to fix it. Thank you.

I have repeated this for a completely blank project. The procedure is as follows:

Create blank project
Activate “Simple HMD” plugin and restart
Play “VR Preview”

Hello ,

I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
Could you provide screen shots of any blueprints (if any) that may be involved with this issue?

Thank you for your reply.

(1)
I have tested this on the sample project “FeaturesTour2014”, created from the launcher. I have not done any modifications apart from turning on the SimpleHMD plugin.
Should I also do it on an empty project?

(2)

Create new project
Turn on SimpleHMD plugin and restart
Play “VR Preview”

(3) I did not modify any code of blueprints from the example.

No, the monitor’s resolution is 1920x1080

Hello ,

I am still unable to reproduce this issue on our end. Are you using a 4k monitor when this issue occurs?

anonymous_user_d868c905 · May 6, 2016, 10:40pm

I tested on 4.12.0p2 and the problem no longer occurs.

So I guess I should just update the engine?

Hello ,

I am glad to see that the issue has been resolved in a later version of the engine. However, we do not recommend active development on the preview version of the engine. The preview is for testing out new features so as to determine if you would like/need to update your project upon release. I will be excepting your last post as the answer to this thread. If this issue occurs again in the 4.12 version of the engine please feel free to update this thread with any additional information you may have.

Make it a great day

Thank you for the reply. I will check again when 4.12.0 non-preview is released and post the result here.
