MetaXR Simulator
I cant make the window MetaXR Simulator appear in Unreal.
I followed the tutorial on
https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unreal/xrsim-unreal
but the window does not appear, so I cant enable it. Anyone knows how to solve this?
I tried using the full location with "json" file written on the path (xxxx\xxx\ file.json)
Tried using inversed bars (xxx/xxx/file.json) but the tab to enable the simulator just dont appear.
restarted the engine after all this changes and nothing

Also can't get it to open on a new project. One thing I noticed is that the label on my end says "Meta XR Simulator Package Path", instead of "Meta XR Simulator JSON File". I tried putting that path, but still nothing...
Some engineer from meta answered on the github. The metaXR simulator is supposed to work on Unreal v57, not released yet.
But you can make it work by executing the file "activate_simulator" (its a power shell script, maybe you need to configure some permissions if the script dont run properly)
After running it, you can click the VR preview on Unreal 5 and it will execute with the simulator.
to disable, just run the "deactivate_simulator" on the same folder or delete the entire folder with the scriptThank you! The script did the trick (but had to enable PowerShell scripts temporarily to get it to run).
