Quick Help for Rift in UDK Game

Thanks! I have changed the .ini file as you mentioned however as a total beginner - how do you run a demo in the rift format?

The docs are up!

Yes, please explain how you run the rift demo in UDK.

i followed the above .ini tweak and loaded up DM-Deck with the rift on and it's working! i was thinking i would have to do something else, but nope... viola.

When I go into the game the resolution seems very low is there a way to set this in the editor?

To increase the resolution, you can set "ScreenPercentage" over 100. 150% looks pretty good and isn't too slow.

In UDKEngine.ini, look for
ScreenPercentage=100
and change it to
ScreenPercentage=150

I didn't find "Screenpercentage" in the UDKEngine.ini file. I did however find it below.

C:\UDK\UDK-2013-03\UDKGame\Config\DefaultSystemSettings.ini (6 hits)
; Scalability setting defaults
Line 39: ScreenPercentage=100.000000

What exactly is the ScreenPercentage setting doing? Is this a sort of super-sampling?

I'm a bit new to this, but I turned on anti-aliasing in the UDKSystemSettings.ini and the detail is much improved (I set it to 8 samples and 16 AF).

Anyway, I just loaded up the UT sample maps. Holy moley! What a delight it is to walk around and look at stuff. Using the Rift really highlights the craftmanship that went into building these levels. Being able to inspect everything in such an immersive way is so fantastical.

Once you have followed the direction in the Original Post, just launch the UDK Game shortcut from the Windows Start Menu.

To check out other demos, launch UDK Editor and select File-> Open. Check out the various demos, including Epic Citadel under Maps/Mobile. Once the map is open, select Play-> On PC

For greater beauty, in UDKSystemSetting.ini, I also changed:
MaxAnisotropy=16
MaxMultiSamples=8
ResY=800
EDIT: Nope, ScreenPercentage=100.000000 is the way to go. 150 or 200.
Enjoy

The ScreenPercentage setting enables supersampling - rendering the scene to a bigger buffer than the screen. This makes a difference because the distortion correction (applied to the scene when displaying on the Rift) adds sampling artifacts.
