Anyone else noticing a huge drop in performance when testing their projects in Epics 4.22 binary branch (Oculus SDK runtime 1.32)?

Is there a setting somewhere to fix this?

Draw thread on one project was running at 16-17ms in 4.21 and below, now runs at 27ms in 4.22 !! (results in a good 10+FPS drop) ::neutral:

I hope this will be fixed in the Oculus 4.22 branch before it's released?

I'm noticing something similar, though more to do with the Rift. My VR Preview in PIE is fine, though my compiles are dropping to about half the performance.

I've noticed performance reduction of my released Go/GearVR game, made with Unity. Feels like a firmware update bug that has since been fixed. I don't know what caused this.

Did you have the chance to test your project on 4.23? I want to escape 4.22 if there is no fix for it.

I use 4.22.3 + 1.39 integration and performance is fine. I haven't used stock launcher UE4 since 4.19 (not sure why would you even want to use it)

I'm noticing the same with the Oculus 4.22 and 4.23 branches, it must be some project specific setting I have (but have the same in two projects carried over from 4.18 & 4.20), just having trouble narrowing it down still ... :(

@aussieburgerVR Did you noticed huge APK size too with 4.23? Empty level on previews version gives ~50mb as for 4.23 it gives ~180mb.
