'"Unable to start Oculus XR Plugin" error when starting game in Unity
I am currently developing a 3d VR game for Oculus Quest headset on Unity (v 2019.3.6f1)
Whenever I start the game in Unity editor (by pressing "Play" button) I get the following errors :
Unable to start Oculus XR Plugin.
Failed to load display subsystem.
Failed to load input subsystem.
XR Plugin is installed and updated to the latest version (1.2.0) :
What could be the cause of those errors ? Thanks in advance for your answers.
Solution 1:[1]
In XR plugin Management (Edit > Project Settings > XR Plugin Management) remove the Oculus Loader from the Plugin Providers in the Windows (PC, Mac & Linux Standalone settings) Tab. List should be empty. That fixed it for me.
Solution 2:[2]
I needed to start the Unity project after opening up the oculus app and link, ie:
- Open Oculus PC App
- Connect headset
- Open Unity Project
