Disable vsync in 0.6.0

I'm trying to disable vsync in the latest sdk but it doesnt seem to have any effect when turning it off through the quality settings, is there a workaround for this?

    What version of Unity are you using? Testing stand-alone build or in editor? Extended or Direct Mode?

    I see this comment in OVRManager.cs:

    SDK rendering forces vsync unless you pass ovrHmdCap_NoVSync to Hmd.SetEnabledCaps()


    EDIT: Removed my bad information.

    Does that fix your issue?

    Sorry, that was bad info. Just my luck for trying to code without compiling it.

    The real fix is below. You can add this code to the bottom of Update() in OVRPlayerController:

    if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.N)){
       uint caps = OVRManager.capiHmd.GetEnabledCaps();
       caps ^= (uint)HmdCaps.NoVSync;
       OVRManager.capiHmd.SetEnabledCaps(caps);
    }

    You need to put this at the top of the file under the other using statements (around line 24):

    using Ovr;
