Since the Oculus update, all apps that I attempt to sideload are stuck on loading infinitely and never open, is there a fix for this issue?
Hi,
Have you tried:
- A different cable.
- Reinstalling the app.
- Toggle debug mode.
- Ensure you're on the admin account, not a secondary one.
- Switching to wireless mode after the initial USB connection due to the flaky nature of USB.
- Clearing the %appdata% folder of SideQuest before a new install?
If you could upload a video/screenshot to imgur.com, it would help greatly.
I have tried these options and the problem persists, I have also tried side-loading the same game onto my Quest 2 headset without the new update (we use Quest 3 as our main headset) and it got passed the 3 dot loading screen and onto a still image of the experience (because lack of resources to handle it).
Can you please upload images so I know what you're referring to exactly?
What are you trying to install too?
Many thanks.
What images would you like? The app that is being sideloaded is appearing in the unknown sources tab, but when it is clicked on and launched within the headset the 3 dot loading screen is played infinitely, whereas in the past it would load for about 3 seconds before the Made with Unity text would appear.
We are trying to install a VR experience that we have developed. I have also tried installing a previous version that worked with the sideloading and that is also not functioning.
Try installing ALVR from our stock and see if that works, if it does, then you know the issue is with your app.
Of where you're stuck, anything is better than nothing for me to get an idea of the situation.
