UE4 Demos [Win x64] [UE 4.4] [OVR 0.4.1] [DK2]

[tabbott]

I've compiled a number of the UE4 Demos for Windows 64-bit using Unreal 4.4 branch and Oculus 0.4.1.

Since its a modified build to support 0.4.1, its still a little quirky but one benefit is not having to pause the service but anyway let me know if it works for anyone. Most of the demos will be compiled with teddy0k's Scalability Plugin which is needed for most of the demos (Couch Knights is not, I can rebuild if needed)

I recommend lowering settings to Medium or lower for most hardware for the realistic demos. Most machines are not capable of rendering the scenes with Epic settings (Couch Knights works fine on Epic for me).

Some recommendations:

• Use the "Extend Desktop to the HMD" Display Mode.


• Make the Rift your Primary Display device


• The Oculus Service should not be paused


• Close or minimize any 3D enabled tools (especially Unreal Editor)


• Use ATI or NVidia Control Panel to force 75 FPS on the Rift Monitor

The Scalability UI may popup on the Rift Display. Not sure what I can do about that but it is difficult to use when it does that. It does not respond to Win+Left or Win+Right. I use Actual Tools Multiple Monitors which is setup to force move windows to desktop with the mouse but that is not a real solution for most users.

What has worked for me is to turn off the Rift. Start the demo. Select the options then start the Rift and then press Play. I have 2 monitors and it moves the dialog from one display to the next but works for me and may not work for
different configurations.

Sometimes I found I had to use Alt-Enter multiple times with game focused to force the game to show up properly.

If the Health and Safety Warning screen does not go away and it frequently does not, I added a command to make it go away. Open console with ~ key and type: hmd hsw

If you are not using an English keyboard and ~ is not available then you can change <Game>\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Input.ini and add the following to the end:

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
ConsoleKey=F12

Looks like I'm using some bad defaults in the GameUserSettings. I did not touch those but its autodetecting bad resolutions in "<Demo>\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini"

You can edit that and set those manually to something more appropriate (I now use something like):

[/Script/Engine.GameUserSettings]
bUseVSync=True
ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1080
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080
bUseDesktopResolutionForFullscreen=True
FullscreenMode=1

Thanks for these!

I can't download Landscape Mountains, though. MEGA says "Temporary Error, retrying" - but it still doesn't work after several retries.

[XswampyX]

Me too... Mega is F****** S***! :lol:

[tabbott]

Confirmed. I suppose I should have tried that first but I just uploaded. Perhaps its still synchronizing or something. I'll see if one of the other vendors will allow large files.

Uploading to mediafire. Will be about 20 minutes for Landscape to finish. Then I will do the others.

[OculusRiftRocks]

amazing news, I'm glad someone did it.

any chance the temple and Shooter demo could be done as well?

[aerosteak]

Great job! But both Couch Knights and Landscape Mountains downloads don't work 😞

EDIT: got the Landcape mediafire link working, didn't notice it was there!

[tabbott]

Just uploaded Landscape to mediafire. Verified I can download from another browser so should be good. Will be uploading the as I go.

Regarding the demos, they take a while to fully build and pack (mostly lighting) so I will upload most of them as I can get around to them. Next up is Elemental. Will try Matinee and Shooter after that.

[aerosteak]

Couch Knights works now! Sorry for the previous post! Keep on the good work mate!

[snappahead]

I hate making the rift my primary display. I'll wait until that's not necessary to check these out.

[swlu]

So awesome, thx!
