UE 4.10.1 is unusable

Never mind - OSIG file was in a wrong place, and Paper2D was disabled.

However, there seems to be lag in the test scene, which causes discomfort. Could be performance issues or virtual IPD issue.

What are the specs on your machine?

So, I dug deeper into UE 4.10.1 and stripped down FPS template to bare bones. Basically the scene I have is lower quality than Quake.

I still only get 58 fps and 17+ ms rendering.

Supposedly Quake ported to Gear VR runs at 60 fps. That's with higher polycount/draw calls and with AI, however simple it might be.

Do you know what on earth is going on?

Ue4 is amazing in almost every way, but it's not an engine I would use to make a mobile game. Try Unity for mobile and UE4 for console/pc

Yeah, that's what I figured :(

On the bright side Unity released VR examples, which is a great help!

My GearVR app built with UE4 for the slower Note 5 works at a solid 60fps. It got through to the final of the Oculus Mobile VR Jam earlier this year. My 3d scan are pretty complex too, each model has a minimum of 25k polygons:

It can be done! I'd take a look over on Epic's forum for some mobile VR optimisation tips. Takes a while to get your head around, but UE4 is great when you break through the wall :-)

I did get with people who supposedly built test app using UE4 for Gear VR and had stable 60 fps. Somehow I followed their advice and didn't get 60 fps.

On the other hand, if 60 fps implies unlit materials in UE4, then I would rather go with Unity.
