What version of the runtime do I need to work with UE 4.8.3?
Hello,
I just purchased a DK2, and I'm trying to get it working with Unreal, but I am new to all this, so I am really confused by what runtime will work. I installed 0.6.0.1, and when I try to use the VR.map in the content preview according to the Epic docs, but when I hit alt-enter, the window just goes black, and nothing appears on my dev kit either.
After trying that, I noticed the docs state that 0.4.2 is what is compatible with UE4 currently.
When trying to figure out if I needed to downgrade the runtime or get an update for UE4, I was confusingly taken to this post. The GitHub link doesn't work - nor does the "SDK Downloads UE4" link. The other link seems to only apply to if you are buying some sort of license, so I don't think that is applicable to us either.
So I guess my question is, what is the best way to get the DK2 working with UE 4.8.3? Is there an updated plug in or downgraded runtime that I need to use? If it *should* work with 0.6.0.1, any ideas why it doesn't work for me?
Thanks!

- I thought 0.6.0.1 should work, I'm not sure why you are having problems.
However, if you want to grab the latest source and build yourself, that may be worthwhile.
See here how to link your GitHub account to have access: https://www.unrealengine.com/ue4-on-github - Thank you so much for your reply. I downloaded the stable branch from Epic's github, built the engine, and ran the game, but I have the same problem.
My Oculus definitely works because I was able to play AAAaaaaculus, but everything from Unreal is black. VR Preview mode has the same issue. Any idea what is going wrong?
Thanks!
-Matt - Does the Config Util demo scene work? Does it say anything is wrong?
- *EDIT* After upgrading my hardware to a GeForce 970, making sure I had the right drivers, and several reboots, everything is working with Unreal. I'm so sorry for the trouble! Thanks for your help!
- OK, no worries.
