Frequent, unexplained HMD disconnects seems to be a common problem with a wide range of potential causes (software updates, driver updates, USB power settings, loose cables, faulty hardware, etc.).
I'm posting to the Unity subforum since it feels like there may be combinations of Oculus Home and Unity that are more or less stable. Is there anyplace that documents good and bad combinations, because I've clearly found a bad one. I'm on Unity 2017 and Windows 10, and my current iteration loop is:
Make a change in Unity
Make sure Oculus Home is up and running
Put on the headset and wait for Oculus Home to finish loading
Press Play from the Unity editor
Pray that I don't get a random HMD disconnect hardware notification
Play until I get one, which then crashes Unity
Reboot Unity and reboot Oculus Home
repeat
The disconnects may or may not happen:
When I pick up the headset
When I take off the headset before stopping the Unity editor
When I stop the editor and then put down the headset
When I adjust the headset while playing
When I'm just standing there doing nothing
The 3rd time I try the exact same pattern that did NOT end in a disconnect on attempt 1 and 2
Would love any tips on setting up a more stable development environment.
