removedChange how our Oculus driver handles initialization failure. This affects people who use Oculus headsets with the Oculus Desktop app, as well as people who stream to their HMDs (all types, not only Quest) with Virtual Desktop Streamer. The driver will no longer be unloaded on failure, which was causing crashes. Some failures which resulted in safe mode restarts will now display better diagnostic information.
