using WMR(Windows Mixed Reality) Samsung Odyssey, OpenVR cannot be installed!

[ll-M-ll]

Hello,

I've tried it on version 2019.3.7f and 2020.1.0BETA

How did I Install the package:

1 - Package manager > Add package from disk... 2 - SteamVR2.6Beta: is from the Asset CustomPackage then stopped the Auto Enable VR ( which would turn on the depreciated version of openVR ) I just went to Assets -> SteamVR_Resources -> Resources and turned it off from there.

The scene was just a plane with Room-scale XR-Rig

• no other assets was in the scene
• windows 10 + Samsung Odyssey (Windows mixed reality )

2019.3.7f

After enabling the OpenVR loader and hitting the play button

SteamVR was launched to run the Scene ....

workaround it was me adding Windows mixed reality loader underneath it and that ran the scene on windows mixed reality

2020.1.0Beta so what I have done was that I downloaded the package
while trying to Enabling the OpenVr Loader I got this error

_Package Metadata store error. Check if there are any other errors in the console and make sure they are corrected before trying again. Failure reason: Error installing package com.valve.openvr. Error Code: Failure Error Message: Unable to add package [com.valve.openvr]: Package [com.valve.openvr] cannot be found UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions()_

again I was able to run the scene with windows mixed reality loader.

• many times after I save the scene and relaunch Unity, even WMR stops from working, always runs on steamVR *

---

Update: - work Around (( FAILED )) X X

When I've disconnected the Headset on version 2020.1.0BETA I was able to turn on the "OpenVR Loader" but when I launched the scene after that I got this Message.

static Void PreferencesGUI() does not match UnityEditor.SettingsProviderAttribute expected signature. Use static UnityEditor.SettingsProvider signature() UnityEditor.SettingsWindow:OnEnable()

and SteamVR was launched even though I had Windows mixed reality Enabled underneath the OpenVR Loader , So I guess it just Skipped it.

New Warning/Error appeared to be blocking many other scripts

SteamVR] Initialization failed. OpenVR is not in your list of supported virtual reality SDKs. Add it to the list in player settings. To force OpenVR initialization call SteamVR.Initialize(true). UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning(Object)

I can't even to run 'Debug.log("updated");' on the start or the update function, Nothing works

Having the same issue. Trying to install OpenVR Loader, but get this error:

Package Metadata store error. Check if there are any other errors in the console and make sure they are corrected before trying again. Failure reason: Error installing package com.valve.openvr. Error Code: Failure Error Message: Unable to add package [com.valve.openvr]: Package [com.valve.openvr] cannot be found UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions()

EDIT: I ended up downloading this from the Unity plugin store. Overview guide.

what device are you using? WMR?

Try going to the package manager and uninstalling the OpenVR XR Plugin. Then reinstall with the latest release from the releases page.

I have tried that, few days ago, all preview tools disappeared including the ( OPENVR LOADER) ... I had to go back to the earlier version to be able to use it.

[zite]

I'm not sure I understand. You tried uninstalling the version you had, and reinstalling using the Installer package at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/unity-xr-plugin/releases/tag/installer and the OpenVR Loader option didn't show up in the XR Management settings?

yeah I went to the package manager upgraded the XR to the latest I think it was x.x.x3 I don't remember , when I did that the XR tools ( preview ) disappeared from the package manager ( both of them ) so I thought maybe they weren't compatible with each other, also the OpenVR loader disappeared ... I tried to go back to the older version unfortunately it didn't work either so I went back to my backup file and started the whole process from there and this time without upgrading anything.

[zite]

I think you may be upgrading XR Management Tools instead of our plugin. You want to upgrade the package named OpenVR XR Plugin. If there isn't an option to upgrade you need to click "Remove" in the package manager, then open the installer from the link above. If you're also using the SteamVR Unity Plugin then you'll need to upgrade that to the latest beta, found here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamvr_unity_plugin/releases/tag/2.6.0b3

As an extra note, we've moved the OpenVR XR Plugin from the steamvr_unity_plugin repo to this repo (unity-xr-plugin)

[ll-M-ll]

So i did exactly that, I've removed the openVR plugin and installing the newest package from the link.

and this is what happened after installing Steam open VR b3

errors keep on popping up and whenever OpenVR is selected SteamVR launches instead ...

I've noticed that now even when OpenVR is not selected I can't even run the game the headset starts tracking for few seconds with one error on the screen. which is the first error on u see on the screenshot static Void PreferencesGUI() does not match UnityEditor.SettingsProviderAttribute expected signature. Use static UnityEditor.SettingsProvider signature() UnityEditor.SettingsWindow:OnEnable()

then few seconds later all the other four errors start popping up and the entire scene froze up and nothing is tracking anything anymore.

so u kinda have ruined my build so thanks for that ....

There was a combination of critical errors between our debug dlls and unity's xr management 3.2.10. Updating to the newest preview.9 (at time of writing) this issue should be resolved.

[ll-M-ll]

@zite well i dont know what to say. once I've installed preview 9 and preview 10 after both of them had this constant compiler error Assets\SteamVR\Scripts\SteamVR_Menu.cs(175,36): error CS1061: 'CVRSystem' does not contain a definition for 'ResetSeatedZeroPose' and no accessible extension method 'ResetSeatedZeroPose' accepting a first argument of type 'CVRSystem' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'm using 2019.3

I am ready to launch my application on EpicGames now using XR, SteamVR is my only obstacle on launching it on steam. maybe steamVR is really depreciated for good.

[ll-M-ll]

I've changed the code on line 175: from system.ResetSeatedZeroPose(); to system.GetSeatedZeroPoseToStandingAbsoluteTrackingPose(); as you can see in the image, the issue is gone but I've no Idea if that have fixed the issue or will cause more problems.

here my package manger

looks like the 5 errors are gun I only have few warnings and this message keeps on poping but it doesn't stop me from going into the play mode

static Void PreferencesGUI() does not match UnityEditor.SettingsProviderAttribute expected signature. Use static UnityEditor.SettingsProvider signature() UnityEditor.SettingsWindow:OnEnable()

[zite]

It looks like you have some leftovers from previous installs. I'd recommend deleting the assets/steamvr folder and reimporting beta3 of the steamvr unity plugin.

Although, we are recommending people don't ship things with these preview versions. But of course it's up to you.

I don't really understand what you mean here. How is the store impacting the API you're using? What is "XR"?

[ll-M-ll]

@zite I believe i must use SteamVR for vr games on steam. but either way, I was trying to release the game that works on both systems with a little checker.

[zite]

What API were you using on EpicGames? You aren't required to use the SteamVR API on Steam, though we do encourage it. That said it looks like we're debugging what's left of the issues you're facing on another thread. So I'll close this one.
