    Sorry to post this twice, Unity 5.4 beta forum was just closed.

    I'm developing on Mac El Capitan, but making windows builds for our test PC.
    On Unity 5.4.0f3, I cannot get my project to work in VR anymore after building. It used to work fine in 5.3.x.

    I set up a clean project, import newest steamVR, and OpenVR doesn't even show up in my list of supported virtual reality. Instead it shows that it's "missing from build", and if I remove it I cannot re-add it.

    On the build, I get the OpenVR failed to initialize, no dll found error.
    If I remove OpenVR and uncheck virtual reality supported entirely, I get the same issue.

    @Curious-Developer I went to reply to your 5.4 beta forum post, but it was closed, thanks for re-posting here.

    This issue is present because OpenVR doesn't show up in the drop down on OSX. This was not intended and we actually fixed this internally, but it wasn't pushed to 5.4. We have ported the fix to 5.4 now and it will be coming in the first patch to 5.4 (5.4.0p1).

    So for now, to build windows standalone projects with OpenVR, you will need to be on Windows unfortunately until the next patch. it ended up in your drop down most likely because you are working with source control and you added it to the player settings on windows and pushed the updated player settings file. You can remove it on OSX and copy the UnityApp/Contents/VR/(Win/Win64)/openvr_api.dll to your built application if you really need to develop on OSX.

    Thanks for the quick reply! I have no issues waiting for the patch release, I just thought this was odd with the big VR push in 5.4, because all of a sudden it wasn't working. Appreciate the update!
