Can't get Addressables from OBB?
I still can't figure this out. I'm trying to use addressables and store them in my OBB expansion file for my quest game. Everything should be downloaded at install time, not worried about updates or ...
I am also trying to sort this out. Either of you find a solve yet?
We did find a solution yes! We used it to release our three DLCs for PowerWash Simulator VR - each its own additional OBB file. I can't off the top of my head recall what we needed to do but I'll boot up my work machine tomorrow and get back to you. 👌
One thing I will mention is that one of the problems we were having was that we were trying to use 7zip to manually compress our obb file - and an unsupported compression format initially. We were unable to read our obb files for the longest time until we changed our compression method to pretty much uncompressed, and use the 'zip' encryption method in 7zip.
Thanks for your reply. Its funny, I was trying so many different things. Even tried creating my own addressable profiles. I finally reverted to defaults, and now everything is working great!
Glad you got it sorted! Happy new year for tomorrow! 😁
Hey James. I’m running into something similar. I have my dlc file stored as an assetbundle in horizon which is downloaded by the user as part of the dlc and I’m wondering how the addressables fits into place with this flow. If I bundle the asset using addressables and then download the bundle at runtime, will the bundle be correctly marked as an addressable? If not how can I integrate this flow so that I can seamlessly download my dlc content as an addressable? I’m really stuck on this your help would be very much appreciated.
