(5.4.0b16 + SteamVR) SteamVR_Camera.sceneResolutionScale has no effect?

In Unity 5.3 with the SteamVR 1.08 plugin I could change the SteamVR_Camera.sceneResolutionScale to either downscale for performance, or create effective supersampling for optimal clarity.

With Unity 5.4.0b16 that setting now has no effect at all. =(

Is this intentional? Or was it overlooked / a bug? The visual clarity with supersampling is significantly increased and an important feature to have, as is the ability to reduce the scale in certain situations (IE: in Unity 5.3 + SteamVR it automatically reduced scale when the front-facing camera was enabled, this no longer occurs either).

Is there a workaround?

 

hi Rog,
SteamVR_Camera.sceneResolutionScale has been redirected back to native unity 5.4 VR setting in the recent 1.0.9 plugin update, so i suggest you just using native VR Settings for this.

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/VR.VRSettings-renderScale.html

there is also a sample scene for setting render scale in the official vr sample project.

 

Thanks for pointing that out, that's the better way to do it directly.

Plus it looks like SteamVR_Camera.sceneResoliutionScale has been fixed in the SteamVR asset / plugin to just set VRSettings.renderScale now.
