PC Software Build 25.0 Release Notes

These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of February 1st, 2021.



Oculus Link

  • You can now set your refresh rate to 80hz and 90hz when using Link with a USB-2 cable.
    • Keep in mind, that even with some of the newest and most powerful GPUs, maxing out values for the render resolution slider with a 90 Hz refresh rate may result in dropped or missing frames.
  • Fixed an issue causing Link to show a black screen after exit.
  • Reduced incidence of “Oculus Link is not working” errors that were happening on shut down.
  • Fixed numerous black screen issues that could prevent you from being able to use Oculus Link.
  • Fixed an issue where the new graphics settings in the Oculus desktop app weren’t showing for some people.

    I got V25 today.  All works fine with my Rift cv1 and Quest 1 (which is still on V23) wireless w/Virtual Desktop.  No problems with any Oculus or Steam Store apps.

    Something strange is happening, I'm going to blame Ocubook's updates. (you know, the ones they give no information about).

    A while back I had my first BSOD in many years. It happened after an Oculus update and others reported the same thing. Very quickly after this update a new update snuck out and BSOD's stopped happening.
    Yesterday morning I had another BSOD. Today I opened my Rift desk top app to check on something store related. It froze on the "Home Page"/tab or whatever it is. I waited but nothing happened, mouse and keyboard unresponsive.
    I had to shutdown with the power button.

    When I restarted and opened the desk top App, I got this..................



    Nope, it ain't new and has never been disconnected or the software reinstalled.

    Please Oculus, leave my Rift alone so I can enjoy the time between now and 2023. Separate your Link stuff and add it to the Quest stuff.

    @Richooal  Fortunately I have not seen this yet (or ever) with my Rift cv1.  All seems very stable so far.  Famous last words, lol!

    I've done a few restarts, tested my Rift (working fine despite the software) and it still asks the question.

    Instead of this (a question with no options)..................

    I'd like to see this ................

    Maybe just try a Repair and/or try uninstalling your Rift cv1 and set it up again.  What Win10 version and gpu driver version?

    Thanks Tom, but I belong to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" set.  The Rift works fine, so I'm not going to repair or reinstall for the first time in over 3 years just because there software thinks I might have 2 Rifts connected to my PC.
    I really think it's time to create a rift (see what I did there) between Rift and Quest. Leave one version of the software (in working order, with no more "updates") for Rift only users and have another version that gets all the wonderful link and quest updates. It's not asking for anything extra. Eventually the gap will get so big that some will actually want to upgrade to Quest or whatever it becomes.

    Just got the 25 too. No problems so far - it updated perfectly. Been testing a few games, again no problems at all. Feels exactly like .... Update 23, lol.

    No difference between 23-25. No new bug, no improvement. :p
