Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesIf you thought you were missing something because you didn't have a chance to test it, I assure you, you didn't.

I'm assuring the opposite. Do try it.
It's like after sitting in front of the monitor for years or decades, you are finally stepping into it.

Ok. I'm sure that there are some people that find it interesting. That was only my experience. And also what the guy who gave it to me concluded: people wasn't willing to give 1€ to play with it. They would try it and they were like: "Ok, interesting... but let's play Dota!". At the end he sold all the VR sets.

Quoting: kuhpunktAnd what games did you try? ;)

I don't remember very well. One free one with some squirrel (I think that's one made by Oculus themselves). Some „game“ where you are on the space station. One psychedelic thing in space (that one made me sick the most :'(
I tested youtube 360 videos. etc. etc.

And I tried Elite Dangerous the game that was the reason why one of my friends brought that Oculus from me.

In February of this year I got the newest Oculus Rift as a payment for giving c++ programming lessons over Skype to some guy who had 5-6 of these, plus some PlayStation VR (if I remember correctly, of was it for some other console) after some unsuccessful try to make a business with VR etc. I was a little excited to try it, but I tested some games no more than 10 times in total and every time I was, meh... :huh:

After that the poor thing has been collecting dust during months before I remembered that it's there and I sold it for 150€ in perfect state, like new. The only thing that I was happy about was the perfect new XBox controller that I would never sold.

What I think about VR? Absolutely uninteresting thing not worth anybody's time and especially not worth the money they are asking for it. If you thought you were missing something because you didn't have a chance to test it, I assure you, you didn't.

Quoting: PsychojauAbout the Governor, if you don"t have a very recent kernel (and even then) you can have some trouble. Not very important, but I had some laggs (I had an I7) opening projects or test while having many blueprints + animation tabs open. If I put the governor on "performances" : no more.
Now, I'm using a recent AMD and Linux 4.19. I still put this in "performances" mode but honestly, I didn't notice anything.

It wasn't happening on 4.20. Everything worked fine. At last, almost everything. Recently I found things that don't work at all - I wanted to make game menus to work with game controller, but no. It doesn't read values of axes when in menu designer (I forgot how it's called, UMG editor?). I was hopping that it's maybe fixed in 4.21, but 4.21 is working like I described. First I thought that you ware already using 4.21 and that my case was an exception. I never had to "overclock" my CPU to be able to use UE4. I have an i7 and it was always more than enough to run UE.

I wanted to test a test project before trying to open my main project in the newer version, so I just made a simple first person project.

Edit: I'm currently on Ubuntu 18.10. And with 396.54 driver.

Quoting: Psychojau

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesCompiled and tried it today. Maximum FPS that I'm getting is ~30 frames for a simple scene. I remember it was the same when I tried Vulkan when it was introduced for the first time in UE4. Although, editor seems to be running fine.

Does anybody knows if there is something that can be done to improve performances?

Make sure your kernel and graphics Nvidia drivers are up to date. Lock your CPU governor in performances mode. If you are working on performances, you can activate the tools. In console (set the key combination in editor preferences then SHIFT+F1 to unlock mouse then your keys) PROFILEGPU, stat fps, stat SceneRendering, stat game are your friends lol. Performances are always lower in editor.
In the editor, you have the blueprint machine running, the editor windows and your preview if you open it.
It's a LOT.
If you really want to try your project, use the "standalone game" mode.

Have fun ?
If anyone is interested in rendering technics and where they are available, you can read this :

Thank you for your answer!
Yes, my drivers run games through Proton without any problem. CPU governor can't help at all because, I tested it on a simplest scene with UE4 default first person template.
I understand everything, but the same scene should produce above 150 fps inside of editor on my system. I have enough experience with UE4 after using it almost every day last 2 years.
I tried to find something in editor and project preferences that could help, maybe, but nothing changed 30 fps. :huh:

Yesterday I brought Witcher 3 and for the first time I tested Proton. I expected that problems must happen etc. but, what a surprise! I couldn't believe with what smoothness and perfection it ran. Really fantastic work.

I will test this version from tomorrow. I hope that Vulkan in UE4 is really ready for serous use.

In previous few days, for the first time, I found things that are not working at all in the Linux version and that was disappointing. I hope that it's maybe fixed in 4.21

It's really strange how people are reacting to a game with some sexual drawings.

Actually it succeeded!
I tried what Lin_Soldar told me to do. Using BleachBit as root solved the problem. Then I installed Steam deb from Steam site. It's great to see Steam running again! :D

Thank you all of you once more for your concern! It's simply great to be part of such a community!

BTW, anybody tried Shadow of the Tomb Raider? Is it working perfectly with the newest Proton?
