VR builds acting as spectator?

Hello, I was trying to test with myself in VR and noticed that I didn't have a rig and from the Unity editor (the other me I was testing with) couldn't see or hear me either. There is not another rig that spawned unless I'm testing with 2 editors. Using Unity 6.2.6 and latest Normcore version.

This is the error I get while in logcat:

are you using two separate projects or something?

maxweisel•12/14/25, 9:55 PM

this looks like when two separate unity projects connect to the same room or don’t have all of the same game objects in the scene

Mmaxweisel are you using two separate projects or something?

Jolly DuttbustOP•12/14/25, 10:47 PM

im using parrel sync

Jolly DuttbustOP•12/14/25, 10:47 PM

lets me have 2 instances of the same project open for multiplayer testing

maxweisel•12/14/25, 10:48 PM

that should be fine. You may need to run Save Project as well as Save Scene. it looks like maybe some state hasn’t made it to the clone project

Jolly DuttbustOP•12/14/25, 10:51 PM

the editor's run fine, i can test in them and see myself on both clients. its when i make any kind of build where it tosses out errors and no one can see me

Jolly DuttbustOP•12/14/25, 10:51 PM

but somehow the editor just, doesn't get them JES_Shrug2

maxweisel•12/14/25, 10:52 PM

hmm, honestly I’m not sure then. are you able to send us a repro project? I can have the team take a look

Jolly DuttbustOP•12/14/25, 10:53 PM

im gonna do a tad more poking at it and see if i can resolve it if thats alright, if not then sure

maxweisel•12/14/25, 10:53 PM

sounds good

maxweisel•12/14/25, 10:54 PM

let me know if you sort it out. either way I’d like to update Normcore to send a better error here

Jolly DuttbustOP•12/14/25, 10:54 PM

alrighty
