Packaged app does not start, black screen
Hello, I am working with UE 5.3.2 on Windows 10 deploying on Oculus Quest 2. I packaged and installed the app I am developing. After installation the app does not start. I run it from Unknown sources, it never changes the view to the game view. It either: 1. Does not react at all 2. Turns black for a second and turns the app off 3. Turns the screen black for a second and leaves the app minimised, when turning it maximized it turns the screen back to black for a second again and nothing changes. I have tried referring to several tutorials which are mostly referring to older versions of Unreal or to troubleshooting of this similar problem, like this: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/issues-getting-unreal-project-run-on-the-quest/128236 . Those proved to provide more options that are version specific or case-specific, none of them worked. Among things I have tried: 1. Changing SDKs and NDKs. 2. Disabling OpenXR. 3. Deploying with different settings (development/shipping/others ASTC/DXT/others). If I should set one of those to something specific (for example that I should always try to deploy ASTC, for the time of the troubleshooting, please let me know). Right now I am kind of losing hope and am looking for some guidance where should I be looking for next steps. Right now I am referring to UE5 documentation, let me know if thats the right approach. Specifically I am trying to use this: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unreal/unreal-quick-start-guide-quest/5.4KViews0likes11CommentsUnreal Engine github version not compatible with MetaXRPlatform plugin.
Hello, I'm sure I've done something wrong or missed something, but I'm trying to get my entitlement check working and I'm having a heck of a time. A bit of background: I've downloaded and compiled the latest Unreal Engine github fork I've built my project and it works and everything is compiling and happy I made a Game Instance blueprint I've tried to drag out an Entitlement pin, and Unreal Engine finds nothing. When I download the MetaXRPlatform (Version 65.0) The Engine starts up with this error: The 'OculusPlatform' plugin was designed for build 5.3.0. Attempt to load it anyway? and when I press Yes it gives me another error: The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version: OVRPlatform Engine modules cannot be compiled at runtime. Please build through your IDE. Do I need to compile something else somewhere? Please help! JPSolved4.9KViews1like8Comments
Pawn position and orientation in VR in Unreal Engine
Has anyone had a problem running the VR preview in Unreal Engine with player position? Namely, when I start the game and put on the headset (Oculus Quest 2), it happens that my virtual space rotates or moves by certain values. It is extremely important to me that when starting the game in the program, the player is always in the same place and in the same orientation, because I overlap the table from reality with the virtual one, so that they really coincide without having to move the virtual one every time. I need the VR pawn view to match the position, height and orientation of the camera that exists in the scene at every startup. If anyone knows what the problem is or has an inkling, I would be very grateful for an answer.3.6KViews0likes2CommentsNew oculus Update make the controllers not work in UE5
After the recent Oculus Update, my controllers have stopped working in Unreal Engine 5. whenever I try to play in the editor or a working project build, the controls do not move or allow for input. They were working perfectly before the update. This is affecting the Oculus Rift CV1 and the Quest 2. From what I've read in the forum so far all Oculus headsets are affected and Facebook/meta are sitting on their hands doing nothing Both controllers are fixed to 0.0.0. in the world space and won't move or allow for inputs Two and a half years of work are now dead in the water until it's fixed. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Meta desktop app. I have tried different solid builds that I know work. "Have you removed any third-party accessories that may affect power, battery fit, or controller detection. For example, rechargeable grips, controller covers, etc." - Yes "in your other attempts, did you unpair and repair the controllers to the headset?" - Yes "Have you checked the controller battery and the LED status (blinking, solid, or no light at all)?" - Yes I have a custom build development PC that can more or less handle anything so that isn't a problem.3.5KViews2likes7Comments
PTC v66 - Extremely slow load time on larger unreal game
Large UE games are incredibly slow to load on v66 (like 25 seconds) The same apk/obb loads in around 3 seconds on v65 and earlier. It's built against the v65 SDK. Something really weird going on with v66. I also notice sometimes OS apps are hanging/going really slow to load (like airlink) To reproduce install asgards wrath 2, First run is a bit slow but normal, compiles shaders etc. Close it Second run sits on the ... screen for 25 seconds then loads. Same for all subsequent runs. [EDIT] This appears to be to do with the app's apk signing certificate. A load of errors in the log are occurring for the 20 second wait. Certificate buffer not long enough, returning If I rebuild my app with a new certificate it then works but I can't change this on the store766Views0likes0Comments
Cannot find androidmanifest.xml file in intermediate folder of unreal engine project
https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unreal/unreal-mrc/#mixed-reality-capture-with-unreal I was following this docs to get mixed reality capture to work on out game in unreal engine. It says to add this line- <uses-native-library android:name="libOVRMrcLib.oculus.so" android:required="true" /> into the <application> tag inside androidmanifest.xml. But I cannot find this file in my intermediate folder as suggested in the unreal docs. I have packaged game once, but there is no such inside intermediate. If anyone has tried this meta's mixed reality capture, any help is appreciated745Views0likes0Comments
UE5 with MetaXR plugin not showing console commands window in VR Headset
Hello everyone, I’m using the MetaXR Plugin in Unreal Engine 5.3.2. I'm trying to get a behavior back: I was able to see the console commands window in VR Headset but not anymore. It shows on the computer screen only but not in headset. Also print string messages are not showing. What should I do to get this back? Thanks.841Views0likes0CommentsGame crashes on startup - Unreal 5.2.1
Hello, I've been trying to get this working for a while now but haven't gotten it to. This happens no matter which project template I use. This time I made a VR project and then just added meta XR and made all the changes in settings that are needed. then when building everything seems fine until I try to open the app up on my quest 2 where it just fades the screen to black and then immediately puts me back in my home environment. I get this in the logs when it crashes.
