Man this video is really what iv been looking for, for 2 years... iv been working in unreal engine 5 and learning everything the hard way lol. tutorial hell. its so hard to jump in and find qaulity videos like this that explain things in a way that i can actually understand and possibly make decisions. as of right now im still trying to learn and make a decision. i learned how to build from source a few days ago, and i did so with 5.4 oculus branch. Now im wondering do i need to go back to 4.27, which was already a choice i was pondering on based on the fact that most of my fav vr games were made in 4.27. -sigh- im worried about going backward bc i dont want to go and learn a bunch in 4.27 and then later on have to move over to 5 and learn again if that makes sense.
by the way your message at the end of the video needs to be heard by many many people. Its so hard to find those who are willing to guide you and be kind at the same time. or even give you the time of the day, when you need help.
I wouldn't worry too much about moving from 4.27 to UE5 later if you "need" to. Honestly most releases on 4.27 never have to worry with migration. Its only if something in UE5 exist that you need for the scope of your project (and honestly UE5 is missing more than it brings for VR in most cases)
@@WildOxStudios Thanks a million. so i suppose now ill take the dive and build one of the 4.27 branches. thing is, i kinda really want to use mobil hdr. thats what has been keeping me from going back at this moment bc bloom lol. singly and soley bloom. but i may just do some cards instead. will have a nice old school look maybe. I digress... Do you have a dischord?

I am new in unreal VR. I have a question. I found that my quest 3 VR performance is not same as in my PC. Everything looks find in my PC but the visual performance is downgraded. How can I solve this problem? Using cable link, thanks
@@qooduffy3573 can you explain “visual performance” this can mean a lot of things. Lower texture quality, lower frame rate, bad aliasing, missing shadows etc.
Great video, very insightful, thank you. Glad I'm not alone in reaching the performance ceiling way too quick in UE5. I have been working in it for the past year and am now shopping around for future proof alternative engines before I get too stuck into the development process. Call me crazy but a 50,000 polygon, unshadowed, sub-thirty draw call scene should be light work for modern hardware, no?
Yeah your not crazy. UE5 is a lovely engine and it can totally be performant especially if you stay in forward and use old school methods. The main thing is that UE4 and all the older stuff you still have access to (es3 and SOC) + cheaper shaders + DX11 stability + precomputed vis, cheaper cpu cost, smaller memory footprint, cheaper physics thread, HLOD groups and landscape tools. UE4 just allows you to pull your cost down even further than UE5 allows.
