[SOLVED] DK2 in UE4 standalone player not working
Hi,
my DK2 is working with all demos (incl. the oculus configuration demo).
I can run the VR-Preview in UE4 (UE 4.10.4 and 4.11 preview 7), but in a standalone player the VR feature is missing.
All VR commands in the console are not recognised.
If I check "ovrversion" in the console of the standalone, then I get the following message:
"Command not recognised: ovrversion"
(The same for "HMD Enable" or "stereo on")
I have asked the same question in the Unreal forum, but got no reply, yet.

Do you have any idea, what I have do to fix this?
Windows 7 64bit
980ti
Oculus 0.8 Runtime
UE 4.10.4 and 4.11 preview 7

- Did you build with Oculus Rift support enabled? There is a plugin you need to include. See https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Oculus_Rift.
- Yes, the plugins are activated (Screenshot).
I can add VR Blueprints, IMHO that should proof, that the plugins are available, but only in the Editor.
I have tested some of the sample scenes (like CouchKnights), same effect. VR is working in VR-Preview, but not in the standalone Game. - I believe this is designed behavior (by Epic): you use VR Preview for VR (and you can switch between stereo/mono using console commands) and Standalone for regular runs. However, it would be interesting to hear from Epic what do they think about this. I can see why you would want to start your game in mono and switch to VR later.
- As I wrote, the console commands are not available, that is the strange thing. Looks like the VR-Lib ist not included in the created standalone game.

(The same for "HMD Enable" or "stereo on") - Just let clarify that you are talking about the "Standalone game" preview mode in the Editor. If you run it as a real standalone game (not from the Editor) - it works fine. The reason why - Epic runs the "Standalone game" preview with the option -nohmd, and this is why you don't have an ability to use any VR-related console commands. This is done intentionally, I believe.
- Ah, that would explain it. Thank you.
Have to try it, and I'll give response later.
EDIT: It's working with a compiled standalone Game! Thank you for your help.
