This is the same principle as Engine Stop Tech. We do not need it for what we run for.
For crying out aloud, just release your stuff as an APP and then judge if it is worth it.

After uninstalling OTT then reinstalling it and resetting profiles and audio switching it seems to work fine now except one of my programs (X plane 11.25) will now not shutdown properly and I need to force it to shutdown.  Other apps/games seem to work and shutdown properly.  I'll include my latest xp11 log file in case any experts out there can help.  Thanks.

My x plane 11.25 is the only program that has a problem.  The problem started after the Oculus update.
I have to take off my headset to force it to close because it has the error of not responding.  It does run fine it just will not shut down like it used to.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one, lol!  I have just started a support ticket regarding this problem.  It is def something in 1.29 doing this.  Never had a problem with 1.28 and If I disable Oculus home and run XP11 in non-vr mode it works and shuts down fine.  For now my quick fix is to have task manager active and minimised on my task bar so I can quickly select and end task.

Well thanks for the added random frame freezes. Obviously this update has too much we do not want for our purpose...playing Games & Apps. Kindly give up developing Home and revert back to a Home Classic + Option for No Home at all.


um, no don't do this


Why not?  Just so a few people like you can play with Dollhouses?  Maybe Oculus should sell Core 2.0 as a separate app, say for $10.  Then they will probably see how wasted their efforts have been because few will buy it imho.



You can take a short (teleported) walk in Steam VR Home - and you can also walk around and enjoy your VR home in MS MR. I'm guessing that Oculus didn't want their users to feel left out. Personally I just want fast and easy access without any bells and whistles to my games and apps. I'm not into dollhouses at all, and I don't need to take a walk - that's why I love the good old Oculus Home so much  ❤️

Just an update on needing to kill XP11.25 with task manager when exiting the program.  I started a support ticket with oculus support and got this reply.  Basically they said I need to contact the developer to try to sort this out.  Oh boy!




Thank you for taking the time to contact us with regards to update 1.29.




As X-Plane is a non-Oculus application and is the only app you are having issues with, you will need to contact X-Plane's developers and work with them with regards to compatibility issues with our software.




However, do let us know if you are having any issues with the Oculus home software itself, or any Oculus applications.




Kind regards,




Ryder

@TomCgcmfc thanks for the update.  How do we contact them?  All the websites point to forums. Then where do we post there?

I did post on their forum but I will also try contacting them directly.  Not sure how but I'm sure I'll figure this out.  I'll let you know what they say.

Use the feedback link in the Desktop app. Devs won't read the forums as apparently thay can't take public criticism. Use the Desktop app link often, maybe someone of them wakes up to the reality what the consumers of their products really want.
