Unity 5.0.0f4 + OVR 0.5.0.1

Hi.

When I import the package into Unity and start any demo scene I get a warning and lot of errors:

What's wrong?

Warning:

Version check failed. Please make sure you are using Oculus runtime 0.5.0 or newer.

Did you import the package to a empty new project? It should do the job, I have tested Unity 5.0.0.4 and OVR 0.5.0.1 yesterday. If you want to import it to an existing project, delete OVR folder and all ovr related plugin-folders, restart Unity and import the new OVR unity package, this worked for me!

 

Just delete all previous version plugin stuff from unity3D project and import the latest version.

 

yes, just an empty project

Probably I should also notice that I don't have any Oculus Rift hardware.

 

In that case, it will probably be very hard to test your game. I'd wager that this is also why it's not working.

 

This is not the problem, I just had the same error on my new project and I have been working with Oculus Rift projects for a while. You don't need a oculus Rift to run a Unity project with a OVR camera.
The error disappear after I Run the Oculus Runtime and restart my pc... just leave this thing running at the background and your project should now play with no errors.
You can download at Oculus website :
https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/#version=0.5.0.1-beta

 

I'm a little nervous to switch to the latest Oculus runtime. Is the performance any better with Unity 5? I.e., does the frame rate still get locked to 37 in all but the simplest scenes?

 

Same errors here using:
ovr_unity_0.5.0.1_lib
Unity 5.0.1f1

 

If it helps, Worked fine with Oculus 0.5.0.1 sdk (installed runtime too) and Unity 5.0 / 5.1 versions.
Just replace UNITY_5_0 with UNITY_5 define if you see error related to player settings.
