    I am using the Vive. After the plugin was installed I was able to play scenes with the Vive seamlessly.
    Now all of a sudden, the tracking doesn't work anymore; when I play the scene, it just looks through Camera(head) without any tracking of the headset or wands.

    All the icons for the headset, wands, and bases are green in the SteamVR app. The only clue I have is that the script on the [SteamVR] object is disabled upon play and cannot be enabled -as if some value is aborting the operation of the script. This problem coincides with the import of a Unity store asset package; removing that package did not help. Restarting SteamVR and the computer itself did not help. Other games like Superhot work fine so the problem is not the Vive itself.

    I would greatly appreciate a speedy response time.

    Resolved the issue. It was the aforementioned asset pack. Fortunately, Unity suggests backing up projects before installing shady asset packs, which I've done but forgot about.
