    Hi, thanks for the guide! I'm using this setup and it works with a regular VR app.

    I'm trying to setup a XR app with passthrough effect, that is not supported with this setup. I need to use Settings > Meta XR > XR API = "Oculus OVRPlugin + OpenXR backend (current recommended)" and need to disable OpenXR plugins to make it work in VR Preview. When I build the app with this changes it crashes on my Quest 3.

    Do you know the required setup to build working app with passthrough effect?

    I was thinking about extending the guide with XR passthrough. However, since the Meta XR Plugin for passthrough is still quite experimental, I decided against it to avoid confusion. If you're interested in experimenting with passthrough today, the most stable option is to download Meta's version of Unreal from the Oculus GitHub.

    Meta and Epic may bring some improvements/fixes to XR functionality with UE5.4, we'll have to wait and see; it's a small team.

    Thank you! I got to work but still not know what the problem was. Switched to plugin version 63, maybe that fixed it for me.
