Unity for mac and windows6/8/2023 Iteration times are 15-20 minutes for every little change, which is crippling when learning, exploring and prototyping. That means I still end up having to build and deploy to the Quest rather than using play mode (making the switch to Windows much less worthwhile). But that's meant switching to Windows, and the only Windows machine I have is my gaming laptop, which is a few years old now.Įven on Windows, though, Unity's in-editor play mode only seems to work when sticking to open standards OpenXR and XR Interaction Toolkit functionality seems to work, but APIs from the Oculus Integration package mostly don't. To install the Unity Hub for Windows, macOS, and Linux visit Download Unity on the Unity website. I've stuck with it anyway as the Oculus Integration for Unity and related SDKs seem to have much broader support than the Unreal integration. I build a project using Windows for Mac When I tested in Windows Unity with Mac selected as target platform and everything worked fine without error. That removes one of Unity's biggest pluses over Unreal in my opinion. The trouble is, Unity doesn't really work for VR on Mac running in editor (playmode) fails due to missing DLLs and, according to Unity, is unsupported. On balance though Unity seems to be by far the more popular toolset (judging by the volume of posts on the Unity and Unreal specific forums here), so I've been focusing on that. I've tried Unity and Unreal (I've worked with, and am familiar, with both) and each have presented a lot of challenges. Actual result: Scene View and/or Inspector, Project Browser starts flickering, we are unable to navigate in the Editor and perform any action. Open copy pasted asset by double clicking on it. Unity officially supports the following Linux distributions: Ubuntu 16.04 Ubuntu 18.04 CentOS 7 Note: If Unity Hub fails to launch while you are using Linux, you might need to give UnityHub.AppImage executable permissions. Import the attached VFX asset to the project. Also, make sure to read or reread the earlier section. To install the Unity Hub for Windows, macOS, and Linux visit Download Unity on the Unity website. I've been experimenting with VR development since getting a Quest 2 and the frustration is growing. On a Mac, your screen might look a little different from the corresponding Windows screen captures.
