VR Package makes Unity crash

Questions & Answers
1

So… i’ve installed the Oculus Rift package from the asset store to work with VR and after importing the files, it tells me that my version of OVR is 1.26 and i can install 1.29, then restart the editor.

When i do it, nothing happens. I can select my project but nothing else.
I looked at the task manager and i can see the Unity editor for a few minutes before disappearing.

So, i checked in the Editor Log and here is what i found :

[Package Manager] Server::Start -- Port 62224 was selected
[Package Manager] Cannot connect to Unity Package Manager local server
C:/Users/me/Documents/Projects/VRProject/VRProj

Plugins: Failed to load 'Assets/Oculus/Spatializer/Plugins/x86_64/AudioPluginOculusSpatializer.dll' with error 'A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
'.

I went to the project folder and deleted the “Spatializer” folder to see what i does and the project loads up perfectly. I could even import the folder i removed. But when i close and start Unity, i still have the issue.
Like i said, this happens with version 1.29 of OVR only.

Maybe someone has the same issue or knows where it comes from.
Thanks!

I have the same problem running on Windows 10 Pro x64 / Radeon RX 580 …

I was able to get around the problem, open my project, and keep building.

  1. Close Unity Program
  2. Delete the whole Spatializer folder & Spatializer.meta (Make a backup copy BEFORE you delete)
  3. Open Unity project
  4. Once project is open import or restore the Spatializer folder.
  5. I tested my VR project with Oculus Rift with no problem.
  6. I then created a Spatializer export package for the next time my project failed to load.

Anytime Unity failed to load I just deleted Spatializer and I was back to building.

Hope this help someone :slight_smile:
