SDK 1.3 ovr_Initialize failure. fffff447 --

Hi, My DK2 runs perfectly with the latest Oculus Home (1.3) and so do the bundled apps. However when I try to compile the SDK 1.3 samples none of them work. The OculusWorldDemo throws up the error message: "ovr_Initialize failure. fffff447".  OculusRoomTiny throws up the error "Failed to initialize LibOVR".  I cant see a runtime version issue as being the culprit as I seem to have the latest. Please help !
Thanks
Sanjit

OK the samples work. You need to run the Oculus Home app which is part of the SDK and not the one that you install from the Oculus Website along with the free content !

Hi sanjit,

I encountered the same problem on SDK v1.3.2, could you elaborate more about your solution? Where can I find the "Oculus Home app" in SDK?

Thanks a lot.

I figured it out by myself.

Go to:
https://www.oculus.com/en-us/setup/

Grab the latest runtime, uninstall the old version and follow the installation instruction to update the runtime, then you are good to go. The "Oculus Home app" is the one you just installed.

Thanks for the OP :smile:
