UE4 QA 07_2014 (4.3) integration with Oculus SDK 0.4!
Hey guys,
Finally, it is here. Oculus SDK 0.4 integration with UE4 4.3 (July'14 QA) is released.
Licensees can download the integration package from our web-site (Developers -> Downloads). This integration will patch the codebase up to 4.3.1.
GitHub $19-subscribers can access it through https://github.com/Oculus-VR/UnrealEngine/tree/4.3 (also 4.3.1 changes are already applied).
Note, you'll need to install the latest 0.4 Runtime for this integration to work. Once you've installed the Runtime your previous UE4 + Oculus (0.3-based) will stop working, however, it is easy to restore its functionality by two simple steps:
1) Using the Oculus icon in the taskbar switch display mode to 'Extend Desktop';
2) Using the same icon, run the 'Configuration Utility', go to the 'Tools' -> 'Advanced' -> 'Pause Service...'. The service will be automatically restarted once you run 0.4-based app.
We are working with Epic to integrate this code to upcoming UE4 4.4, will see how it goes (can't promise anything; in worst case scenario we will provide our own integration for 4.4 as well).
Note, there are several known issues with this integration, the major ones are as follows:
1) OpenGL doesn't work in Windows (in both modes - "Direct HMD Access from Apps" and "Extend Desktop to HMD".
2) There is no timewarp on Mac; will be there in the next update.
3) If you have issues in "Direct HMD Access..." mode - switch to "Extend Desktop": we are still actively working on improving our display driver.
If you have any issues or questions - post them here, I'll try to monitor this thread regularly.
