Vulkan / ES 3.1 on Gear VR and GO - are we there yet ?

Is Vulkan and/or ES 3.1 in UE4 usable with Gear VR or/and Oculus Go yet ? It's been a loooong while and long overdue. Thanks
Oculus Go
Samsung Gear VR
Unreal Engine 4

Hold on. I'm using ES 3.1 since UE 4.15 coz my explosion shader doesn't work on ES2. It works perfectly fine with no visible difference performance wise.


I highly doubt that. Epic themselves said ES3.1 runs as deferred and doesn't really work well on Gear VR. I tested ES 3.1 vs ES 2 and performance difference is quite noticeable. Perhaps you used it for Daydream.
