Question

What is the XR Texture On Unity?

Hello, I want to optimize the memory of my VR game. When I checked my memory usage, I found that the XR Texture was consuming a lot of memory. Does anyone know what they are used for? And how are they created? 

The Engine of my project is Unity, we use URP + Vulkan.

OpenXR Plugin version: 1.14.3

Meta XR SDK version: 74.0

Thanks.

Hey, 

Great question. I believe the XR Textures you're seeing here are generated by the OpenXR plugin rather than the Meta XR SDK. I see a couple of other developers on the Unity forum have run into similar issues with OpenXR+Unity projects over the past couple of years.

It looks like you may have found this one already, but I also found another thread with a different proposed solution here and thought I'd link them both for you. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
