Hello,

i ve a problem with a build for HTC vive with unreal 4.12. When i play my project in the vr preview of the editor it’s perfect but when i made a build the result is quite blurry, and another strange thing is that the “mirror screen” of the vive on my monitor is blocked in the upper left corner of the monitor.

My project has been made with 4.12 so i can not use 4.11.

But i have recreated the same problem only with the starter content. I’ve made a very simple project with 4.11 and everything is fine the result of the build is perfect in the vive, and the “mirror screen” is in the middle of my monitor and in a scalable windows as usual.

But when i do the exact same project with 4.12 the result is perfect in the editor but blurry in the build and the “mirror screen” is blocked in the upper left corner of the monitor.
(i’m in epic quality, my light are build in production, every thing is set up to the max, i have no error message during the build, and i try with 4.12.3 same issue … and i haven’t have any problem of this kind before on my precedent project with Vive and unreal 4.10 or 4.11 with the same set up)

Do i miss something ? is there a change in the default parameter in the rendering of unreal 4.12 ? or in the set up of a vr pawn for Vive ? Anyone with the same problem ?
Any help would be very great.

Thanks a lot.

Hi weberl, it’s better with the command console r.ScreenPercentage as explain in the link, for me a good value is 180 without having problem with my fps, you can try higher but the framerate dropdown a lot…
but it’s still not as good as in the editor, and if i want the same quality as in the editor i can’t have a fps as good as in the editor. So for now it’s a not a totally good solution but they are no answer on the subject from Epic’staff , so i’m stuck with it right now . but maybe if they saw that a lot of us have the same issue they will respond…

Hi Vinzant, well i have the same issue.
I put on the level blueprint the screen percentage with the command console, also the post process quality, and still having the same problem.

I try all the AA options that ue4 provide us and all my builds are blurry i hope epic fix this soon.

Try the following:

  • Create a new empty level (lets name it dummy_level)
  • in the project settings, set dummy_level as your game start map
  • In the level Blueprint, on Event BeginPlay add a console command “Open Level” with your actual first level

Then it should be ok. For some reason the resolution resets to the correct values as soon as a level change is initiated.

Cheers,
