Virtual Reality SDK Oculus failed to initialize.
Hello, as you have seen in the title I'm having problems to Initialize the Oculus Rift SDK in Unity. I'm working in an app for samsung Gear VR. the versions I'm using are these: Unity 2017.3.1f1 ...
I'm getting a lot of problems from this Unity 2017.3.1f1 update just recently.
Firstly, it says in the editor 'Virtual Reality SDK Oculus failed to initialize.'. When building there's a libc error. Also, Google Cardboard is broken as well so now there's no fallback.
When looking at the updates this is what you see in Unity's website:
One awful solution that you can try is to create a brand new project and migrate your current project into that one. As of right now the Oculus Utilities project that I did that exact thing with, that was working for months, is now broken when building for the two most popular VR platforms. I will try an empty new project now and see if that works.
My guess is that there's some kind of interference, maybe that 'update to dll 1.20' when the latest dll is 1.21, not sure...

- XR: Added XR.WSA.HolographicSettings.ReprojectionMode. This gets or sets the kind of reprojection the app is requesting to stabilize its holographic rendering relative to the user's head motion.
