Idiots guide to Oculus support?

Here are the steps to setup FMOD for Oculus Quest 2, as a set of step-by-step instructions which should hopefully be more clear:

  1. Follow the Unreal Oculus Setup Guide to ensure everything is working in Unreal to begin with
  2. Download FMOD Studio
  3. Open FMOD Studio
  4. Open the “Examples.fspro” project that came with the FMOD Studio installation
  5. Download FMOD for Unreal, ensuring the version you download matches your FMOD Studio and Unreal versions
  6. Create a folder called “Plugins” in the same directory as your Unreal .uproject file
  7. Unzip FMOD for Unreal into your newly created “Plugins” directory
  8. Create a folder called “Platforms” in the same directory as your Unreal .uproject file
  9. Open the “Platforms” directory and create a new folder called “Android
  10. Open the “Android” directory and create a new folder called “Config
  11. Open the “Config” directory and create a file called “AndroidGame.ini
  12. Open “AndroidGame.ini” and add the following contents:
    [/Script/UnrealEd.ProjectPackagingSettings]
    -DirectoriesToAlwaysStageAsNonUFS=(Path="FMOD/Desktop")
    +DirectoriesToAlwaysStageAsNonUFS=(Path="FMOD/Mobile")
    
  13. Save and close “AndroidGame.ini
  14. Close and reopen your Unreal project
  15. When the “FMOD Settings Problem Detected” popup appears in the right, select the “Settings…” option
  16. In the red area, select “Fix
  17. In the top menu, click “Help>Validate FMOD
  18. Click through the series of popups with either “Yes” or “Okay”. Validation is finished when you see this window:
    image
  19. In the Content window, click through to FMOD>Events>Music
  20. Drag the Level_03 event from the Content window into the main viewport
  21. Hit Alt+P on your keyboard to play the level. You should hear cinematic music
  22. Launch on your Oculus Quest 2

Hopefully that is a little more clear, please let me know how you go with that. I have passed on your suggestion to write an Oculus setup guide, thank you for the suggestion!
