While not an entirely critical bug, fixing this should allow for a better experience in VR. I am constantly reminded of this with captchas. Sure, setting up a new one, using the store, and any social features. Not sure how Amazon expects you to use downloaded shows when the app wont even open without checking in with the mothership.
In Unity, the boolean VRSettings.enabled and the string VRSettings.LoadDeviceByName allows for VR to be enabled and disabled, affecting OpenVR. System apps like Oculus TV and Browser will also no longer launch, and casting wont work. Oculus treating Roblox as a VR application despite it not being VR seems more dependent on Oculus’ part than it does with Roblox, but that still doesn’t mean that it isn’t impossible to fix. Create a new Unity scene or open a pre-existing scene like HandInteractionExamples.
In that config file, you need to set HandTrackingSupport to 'Controllers and Hands'. I closed out of the Oculus app believing I didn’t need it, and noticed that Roblox closed shortly after. In the imported Oculus folder (It should be found at Assets/Oculus), there is a scriptable object called OculusProjectConfig.
I experienced this myself attempting to use a Valve Index with Revive (which is a compatibility layer between the Oculus SDK and OpenVR).
This is a frustrating experience for many, and for a VR headset line that takes up about 30% of Steam’s total playerbase, a bug that ends up affecting a large amount of VR users on Roblox. If you cant open the game or app you downloaded for your Oculus Rift S or Rift, try these troubleshooting tips: Restart the Oculus app on your PC computer.
There is technically another way using Services in Windows 10, but it’s not a definitive solution. As such, even though disabling VR in the GlobalBasicSettings_13.xml file prevents any VR elements from working, Oculus will still register Roblox as an application and will continue to treat it as such until OVRServer is quit out of in Task Manager (as mentioned by OfficerGibbie).Ĭurrently the only solution that can definitely stop Oculus from interfering with Roblox is to remove the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus\ShowServiceConsole, but affecting the keys in RegEdit is not exactly the safest nor the smartest idea. The Oculus Link pipeline is designed to stream inputs and outputs between the Oculus runtime and the client application (Roblox). Using an Oculus Quest 2, I can confirm that this issue occurs. Find here all new App Lab games, the games database is updated daily with Oculus ratings. Hopefully roblox can fix some of the bugs on there side (and oculus fix oculus link), and maybe robloz could even invest more into vr? is a third party site designed to help Oculus Quest users find and discover App Lab games.
Enable Developer Mode on Quest Turn on your Quest headset and open the Oculus app on the Android or iOS device you used to set up your Quest. Nomber_key:000248Using an oculus quest 2, my only way of making it stop is by literally restarting my computer.Īlso sometimes it will start to get laggy and upon joining games it will say my computers graphics card is outdated for roblox (which its clearly not, i have a new very good graphics card and this only affects during vr mode).Īlso, there is no way to exit roblox in vr unless i take off the headset and forcibly close it (meaning alt f4 or closing window or taskmanager, esc l enter doesn’t even work).Īnother thing is i cant turn iff vr mode unless i hook up oculus and have it fullfill a “request” (which half the time i have to restart the headset or my pc to get it connected).ītw, this is all using oculus link, however ik many of these problems occur with other headsets and devices, meaning some problems are a thing roblo needs to fix, which to be fair i think vr mode just needs to entirely be redone as lets be real, its very buggy, deprecated, and honestly not very “high quality” when it comes to stuff like its ui (like how i literally cannot exit the game and the weird in vr mode symbol on the computers screen.)Īlso, maybe roblox could redo vr on roblox, and maybe make roblox in some vr stores (like the oculus store) and vr could be a official compatibility/device on roblox! Dont worry - you can always change this name later if you decide to develop & publish apps to the Oculus store.
