Update and running a previous 0.8 firmware Unity app
Hello,
I have an app that I built last month with the this version of Unity, 5.3.1f1, and ran fine with the Oculus 0.8 runtime.
I have now uninstalled the 0.8 runtime and installed the Oculus Setup released today. Everything installed fine and DK2 runs well on Oculus Home and many of the apps. In settings I enabled the Unknown Sources option.
When I run the app I built last month the App runs but the DK2 does nothing. Do I need to rebuild the app with the latest recommended version of Unity, 5.3.3p1, in order for it to work with the new runtime and the DK2?
Thanks

- Same boat here.
So far I cant get a NEW unity project (3.3.3p1) to work with 1.3 runtime. - Hi folks, where do you download the 1.3 runtime installer from, I cannot find it? Maybe I am stupid? :)
- Looks like we need to do some updating of Unity and our apps.

It's part of Oculus Setup.- we need to use a very specific version of unity AND download and oculus plugin.

its working for me now
Or wait a bit for Unity to release an update to provide 1.3 support - You'll need to use Unity 5.3.4p1 and update to OVRPlugin 1.3. Older Runtimes will no longer be supported with consumer hardware.

This worked for me - Thanks Wheatgrinder! - I just followed the instructions on the page, now when I launch my game, Oculus Home launches automatically. If I have not set Settings/General Tab/Unknown Sources, it does tell me how to do this (should be on by default imo - people know if they are launching from within Oculus Home or have clicked on an exe on their desktop or are launching from steam. This is a layer of messing around which will upset and anger some none techie types I feel.)
I am getting a weird blue bar down the right hand side of my screen for some reason when in game.
