I’ve just moved my project from 4.26.1 to 5.2.1 and it refuses to open when I have the OpenXR plugin enabled. It is throwing an error relating to OpenXRCore.cpp. Has anyone else encountered this?
Hey there @Nostrildumbass! Welcome back to the community! Seems like it could be an issue with the old implementation of the plugin during migration. Does the VR template for 5.2.1 have the same error when launching?
It looks like the “solution” is to make sure your VR headset is plugged in and powered on, which is silly. If I’m not working on the VR side of my project I should be able to work on it without having my VR headset plugged in or without having to disable the plugin every time. I’m seeing one possible workaround is to use OpenXR Explorer to set my OpenXR runtime to WMR; that seems to get around the requirement. A bug, in my opinion, as this wasn’t an issue on 4.26.1.
Oh interesting! I’m currently working on an OpenXR project in 5.1 that if I don’t have my gear setup it doesn’t error out on launch, just won’t allow me to test in VR until restarting while the HMD is OXR environment’s (mine is SteamVR) up, so that does sound like a bug in this 5.2 case. Good find!
