About Meta XR Simulator not showing up
Hello everyone, has anyone tried Meta XR Simulator successfully? I am a unity beginner. Everything I did was according to the official documentation, and although the program does not report errors,...
I had this problem too until I ticked the option for "Oculus" in Edit > Project Settings > XR Plug-in Management > Windows, Mac, Linux
Same error, now solved!!!
Meta XR Simulator -> activate actually change the default OpenXR Runtime in regedit table. you can read the script at \Library\PackageCache\com.meta.xr.simulator@62.0.0\MetaXRSimulator\activate_simulator source code.
But, sometimes it just fails to change the regedit table !!!
So, I change regedit table manually !!! like image below, it just works!!!
Remember, backup the original ActivateRuntime value and change it back when you do not use simulator, but use Meta Quest device or steam VR maybe.
OK so the entry in the registry wasn't there, so I ran the activate_simulator.ps1 file manually. That added the entry into the registry. I restarted my (very simple) project and still the (activated) simulator is not showing up. I went through the 'Getting Started with Meta XR Simulator'. Any other tips you could give, that might work?
Thanks in advance.
Make sure XR settings are correct. In registry the path should be form the Library folder of the project you are running it under. Check for latest update too.
