Running a Rift build.. need some help

MrKory · January 2, 2017, 4:01am

Hi,

I am wondering how to run a build on my Oculus Rift. I can run my game in the editor without any issue, but cannot find any info on how to run my game after I build it. When I click build and run it just displays the game on my monitor and nothing is displayed on my Rift.

Is there a specific location that I need to build to or move the game to for it to be recognized?

Thank you any help/input.

No.

Have you allowed your rift to run unsigned apps in the Oculus store settings?

I’m curious, how does one get their app to be signed?

whoa Google is still around? Guess I’ll give it a try.

Thanks for the reply… I did go into the general settings and clicked to allow unsigned apps to run and was able to run a demo that I downloaded–forget the name at the moment-- so that is probably not the issue. I’ll check into signing the app. I have only been able to find info on Android signing when I hunt around.

Thanks

not sure if it is the same for rift but for vive the steam VR plugin has to be loaded in Unity and then you remove the standard camera object and replace it with the VR camera rig. After that as long as the steam VR is running and it shows your HMD ready all the content in play loads to the HMD.

The Oculus can work with both OpenVR and the Oculus SDK.

I’m not sure but if you have Oculus Store installed and SteamVR installed and you build with both support, I think OpenVR will take the lead (Maybe because of TheLab…) but you can still specify a shortcut with -oculus or -openvr parameter.

MrKory · January 3, 2017, 5:49pm

Alright… I’ll give that a try. I am reinstalling the Oculus runtime now.

I’ve read a bit about situations such as mine, which always seem to point to an Oculus Display Driver, followed by instructions to set up the Rift as a secondary monitor via windows display properties. I cannot seem to get this to work. When I click detect, the Rift is not seen as a monitor option for a second display… Could this be the issue?

Also, signing an App is for GearVR, and not required for the Rift… right?

Signing your app is not required to test your build if you allow unsigned app to run in the Oculus store settings.

It’s not 2014 anymore… you don’t need to setup your rift as a second display unless you have a DK1 which I doubt ?

Since DK2 (and CV1) the Oculus do not run as a second display (that was a pain in the ass to use) but now Nvidia and AMD recognize the rift and hide it from displays.
As a result, when you run an Oculus app, you can see it on your screen (windowed or not) but also in the rift.

I worked with DK1, DK2 and now CV1 and I’ve never had an issue like this since Unity natively support Oculus…

You are using the latest drivers and not the old DK2 beta drivers, right ?

That may be a silly question but you are aware that the Rift have a light sensor between lens that keep his screen black when the sensor see light ?

What Unity version are you using ?

From scratch, how it should work for sure:

Install the oculus latest drivers
Update your GPU drivers (What GPU are you using ?)
Configure your rift, connect your account and allow unsigned apps
In Unity Player settings, check Virtual Reality Supported
From Virtual Reality SDKs, remove OpenVR and add Oculus (for this safe test but both should work).
Test your app in the Editor with the oculus
Build in x64 for windows (It should work in x86 but you may have to install some Visual Studio Redist by yourself).
Close Unity
Run your build

And it should work.
If not, copy here the content of your output_log.txt which in the Data folder of your build

Thanks for the walkthrough!! However things are still not working…

My system is as follows… All drivers are current/newest versions

Win 7 Pro Sp1, Unity 5.5.0f3, Intel i5, 8gb ram, Asus Rog Strix 1080(updated drivers to the 12/3/16 drivers)
Oculus Rift CV1(If this is the retail version that would be purchased at an electronic store for home use??)
I downloaded the Oculus SDK and dropped it into the C:\Programs\Oculus folder
I downloaded the Unity tools 1.10 and installed the package
I reinstalled the software for the Rift… same as the link that you shared(latest drivers)
Unsigned apps are set to be allowed from the Oculus App under settings/general
Unity is set to use VR, and only Oculus shows in the list… OpenVR is not there

When I run my game in the Unity editor, it runs as expected… actually far better than I expected.
When I install and run a game or app from the Oculus store it runs as expected.
When I run my Unity game from my desktop it shows on my main display the same as it does in the editor… VR version(extremely warped), but unlike the editor there is nothing on the Rift. I have seen a few times a message pop up in the rift while running my game… Unity is taking a very long time to load… please remove the Rift and check the app… which is running on my desktop.

There are also two new icons in each of my Unity editor viewports… One looks like a microphone, the other is a round arrow that is "X"ed out with a red line… This appeared after updating my video card drivers late last night, and reimporting the Unity package 1.10.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for the long winded version!

At this point, you should maybe create a topic on the Oculus forum.

Anyway, can you paste the content of your output_log.txt which is in your build here ? (It is created after you launch the build once).

If nothing relevant is found in this file, what I would do is to import the Oculus Utilities for Unity, make some random Debug.Log on a Start function of what I could find in this utility (never used tho). Something like “Oculus is here ?”

Make a build then check what’s printed into the output_log.txt.

[Edit]
In the Oculus Utilities link, in the Known bug section:
The following versions of Unity require the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 or Rift builds will fail to run in VR, and the error “Security error. This plugin is invalid!” will be reported in output_log.txt:

5.3.6p3-5.3.6p7
5.4.0f1-5.4.2p1
5.5.0b1-5.5.0b8

Maybe you should also try this…

MrKory · January 4, 2017, 7:54pm

Here is a snippet from an output_log file for a test level that I quickly put together… It is reporting an Invalid plugin. I have a thread started on the Oculus forum, and am following another thread now with a person having the exact same issue as I am with the same Invalid plugin error…

Thanks for your help, I’ll post again once I have an answer or more info so that it may help others out to.
