    I noticed in 5.5b9 there's a new Single-Pass Stereo option in the player settings "Single Pass Stereo Instanced (Fastest)". I couldn't find any information on this new setting in the docs or release notes - is there anything we should know about it and how it differs to traditional Single Pass?

    Hello,

    This is actually a feature which presently only works on Hololens and TBD will come to all desktop (its presently a bug that its always available to be selected regardless of platform). The difference between this and traditional single pass is that a single instanced draw call is used vs two separate draw calls in the traditional case. However the feature requires a newer D3D11.3 extension which is only available in Windows 10. In the short term we will make sure the option is hidden for PC and longer term document the feature fully and explain the requirements.
