    Using Unity 2017.1 personal.

    Hey all.
    I have a computer where I'd been developing VR apps for Vive using SteamVR. I'm onto a different project that uses Oculus. I'm ramping up on Oculus so I started with this quick guide
    https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/latest/concepts/unity-tutorial/

    Further, I imported the Oculus Integration package from the store
    https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/oculus-integration-82022


    I have Oculus setup properly on my computer and have gone through their demo and what not, so I know that Oculus runs on this machine.

    However, after following along that tutorial, when I launch the game/experiance SteamVR loads, AND on top of that I get an error saying OpenVR Error! OpenVR failed to initialize with error code.....

    Anyone have a similar experience as was able to get past it?

    Fixed it.
    I exited SteamVR. I removed the OpenVR from the player settings.
    Still was not loading up into the headset so I reboot my computer, that seemed to fix it.
