Can't test Oculus in the Unity Editor any longer as of 0.6.0

Hello,

Is this on purpose? I now get the following error when i launch my game in the editor:
VR direct mode rendering is not supported in the editor. Please use extended mode or build a stand-alone player.


This has made it monstrously hard to test the UI in my game. Is there a new methodology i need to be following?

    It will be fixed and work like you want with Unity's built-in VR support. Should be coming soon.

    In the meantime, just remove lines 521-530 in OVRManager.cs to enable tracking and distorted view in the editor in Direct Mode again.

    #if UNITY_EDITOR
    	// Only allow VR in the editor in extended mode.
    	uint caps = capiHmd.GetDesc().HmdCaps;
    	uint mask = caps & (uint)HmdCaps.ExtendDesktop;
    	isVRPresent = (mask != 0);
    	if (!isVRPresent)
    		Debug.LogWarning("VR direct mode rendering is not supported in the editor. Please use extended mode or build a stand-alone player.");
    #endif

    Careful on the line numbers just look for that code snippet. Mine didn't happen to be the 521-530 range it was a little before that.
