Meta XR Plugin - Hand Tracking Testing in Editor
Hi, I have downloaded the MetaXR plugin from this link https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/unreal-engine-5-integration/46.0/ and added it to a fresh unreal engine 5.0.3 project. I have then created a very basic pawn with a camera in it, two motion controllers and two oculus xr hand components. I have set up everything exactly the same way that I would do with 4.26/4.27 when using the OculusVR plugin and the oculus hand component. When I test in the editor with the VR preview I cannot see my hands. The OculusVR plugin and the oculus hand component allowed to easily test in the editor and did not require to launch on the device. Is this not possible anymore with the MetaXR plugin? Am I missing something obvious or any required extra steps? Thanks in advance, Simone

Cannot open HandsTrainSample because Engine modules are out of date.
I wanted to try out Hand Tracking with UE4, and I just did git clone the engine source from Oculus github, and build the engine following the instruction in the Oculus website. I cloned 1e09d2f (the latest one) from branch 4.25, which is release "oculus-4.25.3-release-1.51.0-v19.0" and built the engine using Visual Studio 2019. It worked fine, I could make a new project. I could also open HandSample project and it works great with Oculus Quest & Link. But I couldn't open HandsTrainSample. I built the engine and clicked Debug/Start a new instance in Visual Studio, then it opened up the editor. Then I chose the sample, but I couldn't open it. I also tried to open .uproject directly but it just says "The following modules are missing or build with a different engine version: HandsTrainSample Would you like to rebuild them now?" and if i go Yes, then I get Missing Modules error with the message "Engine modules are out of date, and cannot be compiled while the engine is running. Please build through your IDE." and I couldn't open it. I guess I have to find and fix errors in VS but I don't even know where I can get .sln file for this project so which I need to see errors in VS. I tried Generate Visual Studio project files from HandsTrainSample.uproject but .sln file wasn't generated in the same directory although I got no error. This is my first time to build the engine from source and I might misunderstand some stuff. I hope someone helps me with it.
