Hi All,So I've setup OVR 0.4.1 in my unity project and I get this grey rectangle in the middle of my view when I press PLAY. Everything works but I can't see much because of this big grey rectangle... I've attached an image of it.It happened in another game of mine and then disappeared after I'd deleted the OVRMainMenu script and put it back it.But now this just won't go away in this game.Any ideas?ThanksAB

This issue is driving me mad. Screenshot below for reference. Looks identical to the above.Example of a new scene:I also deleted the OVR and reimported. It did work for a time but now also won't go away after a reimport, app restart, or computer restart. It all began with OVR 0.4.1Things I've tried:• New scenes don't fix it.• New projects with a fresh import of the OVR do. So I figured it was an interaction with a script or asset in my project.• Started removing assets and plugins to see if something was interacting. Removed everything but terrains. It still remained.• Tried reverting to an old project where it appeared less, but no luck.• Builds worked for the first run of the app, but on the third the rectangle returned.My guess is that its related to the health warning screen. Looking into the disable thread to see if this solves my problem while developing to reactivate after.It may be unrelated, but Unity bugs on playing the scene. For 1 second I see some beautiful random glitch art like the below. This only began around the time the rectangle appeared. These glitches then appear in my textures. Randomly. :cry: System info:Macbook Pro2.3 GHz Intel i78GB DDR3 ramOS X 10.93Unity 4.5.3f3Hoping someone out there brilliant has solved this before!

Turned off the health warning and found the gray rectangle remains.It is also unrelated to any UI. Removed all menus and menu assets from project and it appears.

HiYes I've also tried many many things and it still doesn't change anything. It's not even a GUI or anything like that.What i have done though is restart my project a dozen times till the grey rectangle disappears. But then it comes back later. So it's not even a constant issue in the program. It DOES disappear at some point. Just not for long... Still working on it. This is really annoying.

I'm getting the same issue with the Tuscany demo in Unity on Mac OS X (i.e. Game view shows white/grey rectangle in the middle of the screen).Anybody manage to determine root cause for this, and/or identify a fix or workaround?EDIT: I built a Mac Standalone Build from the same project and the issue does not occur when running the app, so the issue only seems to occur within Unity.DK2Unity 4.5.3f3Mac OS X 10.9.4SDK 0.4.1Firmware: 2.11

@ArnaudbaernhoftSame here. Restarted a few times and it will creep its way back in. Now it won't leave my latest. I can even remove all items from the project and it is there on relaunch./cry@MattSimpsonDid you try launching the build more than once? I've found the first build does not have the rectangle, but following launches can. My third launch seems to guarantee it.

@kersk & @vrdaveb Thank you!!

Plugging in a HMD fixed it. So obvious in retrospect now, as I'd switched to another computer to test builds as of last week.

You guys are amazing. So grateful for your help here.

Same behaviour for me, working without DK2 plugged-in makes grey squares on both views.
Once DK2 is connected, seems to work correctly…

Tested on 4.3.4 and 4.5.2 Unity editors.

Unity 4.5.2f1
Mac OS X 10.8.5
SDK 0.4.1
Firmware: 2.11

I am having the gray rectangle problem in the editor. I also have no positional tracking. When I hit Play the OVRMainMenu script flashes the no device message. This occurs whether or not the Rift's USB is plugged in, and the quality settings don't change anything.

However, when I build out to an .app, it works fine. There's no rectangle, the device is found, and everything works swimmingly.

I have yet to try with a fresh project or go through any other tests, I'll post if that resolves anything.

Great everyone ! I'm happy to know that the issue is simply because the HDM is not plugged in.
Thanks to the Oculus Team to work on a fix :)
