Hey just bought and downloaded v1.0.5 and as soon as it gets past the "made with unity" screen it crashes immediately.

What OS are you running? 32bit or 64bit?

Edit: It seems that you are running on Windows 7, Service Pack 1. If this is the case, then I'm sorry to tell you OVRdrop only works on Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10. OVRdrop is making system calls that didn't exist in Windows 7.

The open source version is using calls that existed in Windows 7, but they were/are sadly very slow. The free version can do about 360p at 24FPS or above, where as OVRdrop can handle 1440p at 200FPS and above, on the same hardware.

You confirmed on Steam that you're running Windows 7, so I'm closing this issue because it is due to your OS being unsupported, and not an actual bug with the software.

I do intend to support Windows 7 in the future, but unfortunately there are more pressing issues right now that I'd like to take care of first.

If you need something now that supports Windows 7, please consider OpenVRDesktopDisplayPortal. OVRDDP eventually got upgraded and became OVRdrop, but OVRDDP is free and should work on Windows 7. The downside is it can only capture about 360p at 24FPS+, and it uses quite a bit of CPU to do so. OVRdrop by contrast can capture 1440p at 200FPS+, and uses very little CPU to do so.
