Version 207.1 Release Notes

Overview

Version 207.1 adds support for AMD graphics cards and grab and pinch from camera hand tracking. It also fixes memory growth, crashes when an app exits, and a range of rendering, hand tracking and input issues.

What's New

  • AMD GPU support: Meta XR Simulator now runs on AMD graphics cards. The memory growth that could use up all system memory during Unity Play Mode and crash the machine is fixed, and the fix has been verified on AMD hardware.
  • Grab and pinch from camera hand tracking: Camera-tracked hands now report grab and pinch, so apps can read them like any other hand input.

    • What's Fixed

  • Fixed memory that kept growing over long sessions.
  • Fixed crashes and hangs when an app exits or disconnects. Apps also reach a focused state faster at launch.
  • Fixed Vulkan validation errors and several layer rendering issues, including the white screen in Passthrough Camera Access.
  • Camera hand tracking is more accurate and steadier, and keeps working through Stop and Play in the Unity and Unreal editors. Fixed Look and Pinch hands getting stuck or left behind.
  • Fixed stuck keys, micro-gestures and Meta VR Glasses input.
  • On macOS, background servers now close with the simulator and adb discovery works. The app now shows as "Meta XR Simulator" in Finder, Dock and Spotlight.

    • Known Issues

  • VRS Recording does not capture user interactions in the scene.
  • If you update the Unity OpenXR package while the Editor is open, XR Simulator won't connect until you restart the Unity Editor.
