To develop for Oculus 1.3 you'll NEED to specifically be using Unity 5.3.4p1:https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releasesYou will also NEED to download the OVRPlugin separately and patch Unity:https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/game-engines/1.3.0/OVRPlugin_for_Unity_5/Finally, you'll have to update the Oculus Unity Utilities:https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/game-engines/1.3.0/Oculus_Utilities_for_Unity_5/If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks.

Is there any way to delegate the oculus app to the system tray instead of the taskbar?Or just not have it running when in the unity editor?

PixelRouter, you'l have to uninstall 0.8 and grab https://www.oculus.com/en-us/setup/Another question, i'm getting a much lighter image in the rift vs. onscreen now, and i also have a blue bar to the right about 50 pixels wide visible on both the monitor and rift, any ideas?

Nevermind, I've installed Unity 5.3.4p1 and it works like charm.

In the finder, ctrl-click on the unity app (in applications/unity) and "Show package contents". Go to Contents/VR/oculus and update the files.

StonepunkStudios said: I have everything running fine in unity on a DK2 with 1.3, however when I make a build it will only show up on the monitor and not DK2. I have tried with home turned on and off first etc. VR enabled is on and plays fine in unity editor, I have allow 3rd party apps checked and all the other elements I am not sure why my build won't enable the headset.I have the exact same! Need help lol

5.4.0b8 seems to work but 5.4.0b11 crashes to the desktop when you hit play or just never kicks off the HMD. The Oculus Lobby always stays live.

*EDIT

Nevermind. Forgot to delete and overwrite the contents of C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\VR\oculus with the OVRPlugin_for_Unity_5. 5.4.0b11 seems to work okay now.

I got it working with Unity 5.4.0b11. I can continue development but builds are crashing for me when they didn't before 1.3. Could just be my game but I wouldn't recommend using it with the beta.

Did you guys drop DK2 support?

I've done all this and get "Initialization of Device Oculus Failed".

I've still got runtime 0.8 installed too. Is there a new runtime installer or something I'm missing?

We noticed a big problem with Unity 5.3.4p1 + Oculus 1.3 runtime + OVRPlugin 1.3.0 + Oculus Utilities 1.3.0:

Setting VRSettings.renderScale makes the application render at ~2 frames per second.

We isolated that line of code. Commenting out `VRSettings.renderScale =` brought us back to full frame rate.

What are you setting renderScale to?
Have you tried modifying in the editor rather than in code?

Hi guys!
I'm having a problem with plugin 1.3:
VR: OpenVR Error! OpenVR failed initialization with error code VRInitError_Init_HmdNotFound: "Hmd Not Found (108)"!

Do you know why it doesn't find my DK2? The Oculus app works perfectly with it.
I installed Unity 5.4.0b11 + Oculus 1.3 runtime + OVRPlugin 1.3.0 + Oculus Utilities 1.3.0
