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.

      Just got update to 26.0.0.39.502
      "No information available about this update" as usual. I'm going to assume it's PTC V26, no thread about it either.

      I'm just heading off to try out all the new Rift features. ;)

        I'm still pretty happy with v25 with my Rift cv1 so I don't think I'll try ptc v26 for now.  Please let us know what you think mate.  Thanks.

          So, V26 (PTC?) works smoothly with my CV1. No problems detected. However it's still asking me if I would like to set up my Rift.

          I know you do not want to do this but maybe try setting up your Rift cv1 again.  Even I've needed to do this a couple of times in the past couple of years and it seemed help fix things for me.  I think it may have reinstalled a couple of drivers during this process.  Not really sure, up to you mate.

          PTC 26 introduced a big badaboom bug with MSFS2020, confirmed by lot of fellows, white flashes several times per minutes (instead of once in a while), or more probably, head shifting anywhere and comeback at is correct place one frame later. I opt out the Beta, back in official release for now.

            Still having this same issue i posted in the v25 PTC thread with the Release v25 version -- https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Oculus-Rift-S-and-Rift/v25-PTC-PC-Software-Release-Notes/m-p/848360#M27755

             

            On v25 i started seeing an issue on Quest 2 Link playing dirt rally 2.0 (steam) where the bottom half of my screen would have like a white-distorted overlay on it shortly after entering(or exiting) VR mode for a race.  Exiting quest link resolves the issue in the headset... appears to be a quest link related issue.

             

            i just tried on the v26 PTC version and ran into this issue as well. 

            Also tried with the recent v27 PTC and this issue continues to be a problem.

             

            however the below isn't an option anymore
            Reverted back to v23 and couldn't reproduce the issue.

            Specs:
            Win10 latest
            RTX 3090 - latest drivers
            i9 10900k
