    Getting a weird bug when hit play in Unity 2020.2.0.f1 and MARS (latest version, downloaded January 19, 2021)

    Hmm, I haven't seen this happen before. What OS are you on? And what is in your scene?

    I'd try updating to the latest AR Foundation (and AR Subsystem) packages and seeing if the issue persists.

    I gave up, MARS is just too heavyweight and expensive for me. I believe in the dream but the current implementation as a huge plugin (instead of a bunch of small packages) and pricing scheme is just too much for me to handle right now.

    Hello @edwon

    That specific error is confusing, and something that I've fixed, that's making it way to a Unity release. It's something that affects XR.SDK systems as a whole.
    Something seems to be registering our simulation tools twice, which we don't have an open repro for. Have you done anything specific in the Project Settings -> XR Management panel, or any steps that would affect the [RuntimeInitializeOnLoad] attribute within your personal project?

    If you don't mind, could you tell us if you had Reload Domain turned off under Enter Play Mode Options in the Editor Project Settings?

    Yes I had Enter Play Mode Options with Reload Domain turned off (reload scene was on)

    I'm using Unity 2020.2.0f1

    Does the issue occur if you turn the domain reload back on? If that's the case, we can focus on fixing the issue with fast domain reload.
