Unreal Engine 4 Integration 1.9.0 Released
Unreal Engine 4 Integration
These release notes describe changes to Oculus’s Unreal Engine 4.12 and 4.13 available from the Oculus GitHub repository. Oculus distributes integrations of the Unreal Engine which include the latest Oculus SDKs to provide up-to-date support for Oculus Rift and Gear VR.
Applications targeting Oculus devices automatically apply stereoscopic rendering, orientation tracking (Rift and Gear VR), and positional tracking (Rift only). The OculusPlatform plugin provides an online subsystem which interfaces with Oculus Platform features. The OculusInput plugin provides support for Oculus Touch and Oculus Remote controllers.

New Features
- Added VoIP and moderated room finding/joining support, available through the Online Subsystems interface. For more information, see Platform Features and Online Subsystems.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed near clipping plane calculation, which was incorrect when WorldToMetersScale was set to a value other than 100.
Known Issues
- A significant drop in framerate occurs when UE4 is not in focus in VR preview mode. To avoid this issue, uncheck the Use Less CPU when in Background in Edit > Editor Preferences > General (left sidebar) > Miscellaneous (left sidebar) > Performance.
- Exclusive Mode issues: Multiple initializations of the DXGISwapChain may cause flickering as the screen switches modes and a black screen when rendering to the Rift with a different GPU from the one the game is using to render the eye buffers.
- Stereo Layer Depth Ordering : Doesn’t support head-locked layers, only world-locked and tracker-locked.
