Critical Issue: VR App Running in Windowed Mode and Crashing After v74 Update

Natan_Pareira · March 14, 2025, 2:59am

After the automatic update to version 74, my game no longer launches in VR mode as expected. Instead, it runs in windowed mode and closes after a few seconds, despite all configurations being set up correctly.

Everything was working perfectly before the update.

I am using Unreal Engine 5.2 on macOS Sonoma, with Developer Hub updated.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Please advise.

The biggest issue is that Meta does not support the MetaXR plugin for macOS, so I can’t simply download it, which might have solved the problem. However, in theory, this shouldn’t be happening since OpenXR was supposed to work normally. This doesn’t make sense.

I solved the problem as follows: I went to the plugins, enabled Oculus VR, and disabled OpenXR.

Try update the Android Target SDK to 32. Switching to OculusVR is not recommended as it’s been removed and is no longer supported.

I had tried Target SDK32, Its not working It showing in 2D window mode only, is there any project settings changes we have to do?

There shouldn’t be a required project setting change. Take a look at the Device Output log and see if anything stands out.

Thanks for trying to help. I’m not sure if this is only happening to developers using macOS, but I am on Engine version 5.2, and even after updating the SDK to 32, this error persists when I try to use OpenXR. This error only appeared specifically when the update rolled out on Meta Quest. I was literally testing my game without any issues when it suddenly updated and caused this problem. I hadn’t changed any settings.

Here is the error log when I try to run with OpenXR without OculusVR. Remembering that OculusVR needs OpenXR to work, so both plugins are active, I had written that OpenXR was disabled, which is actually not possible:
