I am trying to create a very simple splash screen where it shows a logo for a couple seconds in the VR headset before it launches to the application. (Regardless of the drawmode it just does not work. I am not trying to get rid of Made with Unity logo, just want to be able to show the logo before or with made with unity logo.)
After I build I click the executable and it tells me the application is taking a little while to load in Rift menu. Once it loads it immediately goes to the application instead of showing me the splash screen. I disabled the resolution and quality dialog that pops right after you launch the executable. If that is enabled I see the splash screen on the tiny window on top of it but still not in VR headset. I can also view the splash screen if I hit preview in the playersettings. I am running version 5.6.0f3 and its not pro but as far as I know it should still show the splash screen regardless.
The new splash screen does not run in VR. The VR team felt that it was not suitable as it’s not 3D, so when VR mode is detected it is not shown. On some VR devices a VR version of the splash will be shown but this is not connected to the splash screen settings, so won’t use any logos or parameters supplied to it. Adding VR support to the new splash screen is planned for the future.
You should be able to customise the VR version of the splash by applying a logo here:
I tried doing this, now I get the logo on the monitor but still the same thing in the headset. It still says please wait and then says, this scene is taking a while to load etc. And then immediately switches to the app, no splash screen in goggles. Any thoughts?
This happens for me on Oculus Go after I start a new project and add an XR Rig, in 2019.3.13f1. The abd logcat show hundreds of error messages "Screen position out of view frustum (screen pos 0.000000, 0.000000, 1000.000000) (Camera rect 0 0 1024 1024) (Filename: Line: 3452).
@karl_jones I have a weird problem with the VR Splash Screen. Since we upgraded from 2018.4 to 2019.3 I recognized that starting up our app on the Oculus Quest does not show the splash screen at all, it launches with blackness.
I then tried the used image in an empty project and it showed up fine.
I then went in and instead of building with the BuildPlayer API, built our project the regular way. The image appeared, although it shows some small jaggyness, probably related to loading.
I then went back in and tried building via BuildPipeline again and then I only saw the image for a split second.
I don’t know what’s going on. Is it possible that the loading process of the engine has changed in that the CPU is so busy it does not manage to show it until the game launches and the SplashScreen time is over?
We use the XR Management plugin, Universal Render Pipeline, GLES3 only… anything else relevant?
The easiest way to replicate what Unity does in their 2D splash screen is to create a simple VR rig in a 3D scene, make planes with all your logos on them as materials, and animate them fading in and out. That’s what I’m doing for my current project, and it’s working great.
I then have a script that has a simple timer on it, and after all 3 animations play with my logos (about 15 seconds of animation) the timer runs out and calls a method (a private void inside the script) that loads the next level.
Hey there, did you ever find a solution to this? I’m having the same problem on Oculus Quest. When I build, it takes about seven seconds for the app to load the first scene, so I’m trying to put in a VR splash screen using the Player settings but the image only shows up for a split second right before the first scene loads. I’m using Unity version 2019.3.15.
Hi there, I submitted a bug report for this a while ago but haven’t gotten any response yet. I’m working with Unity version 2019.4.14 and Oculus Quest. I used to be able to get a splash image but now it’s just the dot dot dot. When you say the splash screen is implemented differently for XR/VR, can you give any more details on that? Thanks!
So is it fixed in April 2021? i encountered the same issue using Unity 2019.3.5f1 personnal : No splash screen launched with my App on quest 2. Note that i use the Unity XR interaction toolkit and the XR plugin management / plugin provider/oculus loader.
