I'm using Quest so it didn't matter
thanks for letting me know :) the Quest version is on sidequest and hopefully applabs soon. Once it's on app labs I'll be updating the itch.io version as well and offering codes for anyone who has bought it there :)
Hi. what became of the idea of updates as well as app lab codes?
When it comes to the WhirligigGo version, that's pretty much it. Meta have pretty much abandoned it. Worryingly they have also done this with the Quest 1.
So when it comes to the Go version there really isn't any way I can update as all the SDK's are dead and the Unity version has move on without backwards compatibility with anything including and before the Quest 1. Which is one of the reasons I've made it free. The Quest 1 will also become free at some point for the same reason.
When it comes to the Quest 2/3/pro all these are on app labs and if you've purchased it on itch.io then I'd be happy to provide you with a applabs key. Just email me phileday@yahoo.co.uk I will be releasing a major update for these very soon with a load of improvements, sharing location support and loads more. I'll be updating the itch.io quest 2/3/pro picovr and pimax here as well.
I hope that explains things :) Email if you want a code.
All the best
Phil
Wow, that was the quickest reply I did not expect! I really appreciate it. I have purchased it on itch.io 2 years ago but cheapened out with just 2 USD so I have done the honorable thing and purchased it on the quest story regularly. Thanks for the detailed reply and generous offer, you deserve the support!
Thanks for your support :). I'll be releasing a new version soon which will appear here and on applabs so look out for that as well :D
HI!
I'm using version 4.86. Should I switch to a newer version? If you want to install, do you want to remove version 4.86 before installing?
I know that this is an old question but I thought I'd reply in case the info is useful to others.
I would recommend updating when possible as the updates include a lot of backend SDK updates that can improve performance. When it comes to Whirligig on a standalone headset, when you uninstall all settings files are removed. So for a full clean install uninstall and then install the latest version. If you install without uninstalling you settings won't get removed, however if you find you have issues (sometimes previous settings can cause issues, I try to avoid this but it can happen) uninstall and reinstall can often help :)
