Hey all, I've spent the last few days trying to get passthrough over link to work either via VR preview or a normal build to windows, and neither will function properly or at all. I can build the same project to native quest and it works fine, but any type of using passthrough over link is not working*. I've also reached out to multiple people I've found that have mentioned trying passthrough over link on twitter/reddit/multiple discords (unreal slackers included) and not a single person has come back saying they got it to work normally. I have gone through every bit of documentation I can find, checked these forums as well as epics, and no one has an answer. So I'm reaching out hoping SOMEONE can shed some light on these questions:
1. Does passthrough over link function at all currently? If this does not currently work, is there any sort of eta on when it will?
2. Which version/s of unreal should this be functional on?
3. Does it matter if we use airlink vs. wired link?
4. Is there current documentation to can be referenced to set this up?
- (https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unreal/unreal-passthrough-over-link/ <- these do NOT lead to working passthrough as its the same docs everyone else who has failed to get it to work has referenced as well)

Test scene with the same example with both hole textures to be safe:
Quest 2 Native Build:
Windows build:
VR Preview results in the same as the windows build above (just all black where passthrough should be). I have tried these same settings with Vulkan, DX11, DX12, rebuilt the projects from scratch, tried using steamvr and virtual desktop, tried airlink vs wired link. I have also tried changing the passthrough component stereo layer shapes to every option and tried underlay vs overlay. A couple times I have changed the shape from something to Reconstructed Passthrough Layer and preview again, and passthrough will come up, laggy and covering the full screen, but I can not make this happen programmatically (toggling visibility of said components as per the best practices page says to do). Basically the only way I can get any sort of passthrough while using link is if it shows up upon launch and cannot be toggled on or off at all.
Any info/tip/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and if its something I have missed I apologize. Thanks in advance!
Hey, I don't think that issue is related to mine but I did also run into that, don't know the proper fix, but to get around that use "By The Book" cooking in the project launcher, that's what I did and its working for me:
There seems to be a lot of broken/undocumented stuff lately I'm running into as I'm actively trying to use this stuff, REALLY hope someone can answer my original question.
