VR Water Reflection Bug in Unreal Engine

Hi everyone,

I've encountered a strange issue while creating a game environment in Unreal Engine with a sea/water simulation. When I view the environment using a VR headset, the reflections appear to be bugged. Specifically:

  1. The reflection from both eyes seems to be shown in one eye, creating a very jarring and distorted view.
  2. There's a weird, ghostly/glassy reflection effect visible in the water. This reflection also appears slightly above the water's surface, almost like an invisible render of the environment.

Interestingly, this glitch completely disappears when I remove the water/sea simulation from the environment.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a workaround? I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

  • Are you using an asset pack?
  • Are you SingleLayerWater material domain?
  • Are you using mobile HDR or LDR? 
  • what platform are you targeting?
  • what kind of reflection settings do you have across the project and material?

 

Here is an example of my ocean in both LDR and HDR spaces.
