Does DOTS hybrid renderer work on the quest 2?

2

If it works on VR and if it works on android, it should work on quest 2.
If you read the first page of the docs you can read “Hybrid Renderer is not yet tested or supported on XR devices. XR support is intended in a later version.”

Just make a really small setup and try if you want to check properly

Sorry, I should have been more elaborate in my question.

I actually did do a test and a LOT of Googling and this is what triggered the question. I made a small project that works on the Oculus Rift S and when I tried to make a Quest 2 build, this is the error I got:

Did you try opengl 3 and vulkan both?
And did you try another android device as well to check of it’s an android issue or not?

Thanks for the reply!

I did try Vulkan and that didn’t work I understand that ‘target 4.5’ is equivalent to openGL ES 3.1 but not sure how to set it.

I also noticed that the ‘Universal Render Pipline/Unlit’ shader overides the ‘#pragma target 4.5’ preprocessor. Sould I just copy the system shader and turn off the override?

Thanks again!

I sadly don’t have that much shader knowledge.
In the player settings under the list where you can swap graphics API you can toggle ‘require OpenGLES 3.1’ or even 3.2.
If that doesn’t work maybe file a bug report and see it as not supported for now?

Seems Unity’s SRP/Unlit shader is incompatible with DOTS. I finally made my own shader and it worked fine. (?)
