Hi everyone! Thanks for testing. Meta Quest software version 47 is now live and available to everyone. I've posted the release notes for it here. It does include support for the Quest Pro Touch Controllers with Quest 2 devices. If anyone is having trouble with getting them working, some basic steps are to try rebooting your Quest 2, making sure you're on the wifi network, and checking for updates in your headset and mobile device.

If none of that works, there's always a trusty factory reset to clean out any weird configuration issues or files that might be causing trouble.

Otherwise, it'd probably be best to contact the support team directly to work on the situation, in case there's something specific to your setup that might be causing the problem.

Help others find great discussions and answers by adding kudos and marking solutions to your questions.

On 47.0.0.264.341

Device is suffering from Air link stutters as other people mentionned. It seems somehow better than v46 but the issue is still ongoing . Awaiting for a fix.

my device has been unusable for a couple weeks now. I'm even starting to wonder if this is a legal matter. Selling a couple hundred dollars worth non-working device is just plain wrong.

Link and Airlink stutters. (72-120hz)

There will be a patch for resolve the issues about link cable and air link connection for pcvr?

For me, the stuttering is almost completely gone, but framedrops are still there, so it's weird. Something happened with the encoder that's for sure, because my old (and untouched) OBS presets can't record with nvenc anymore, encoder fps goes down if I turn it on. I only record Beat Saber so I've set the recording to CPU now, which works but energy efficiency would be better with GPU encoding.

Anyway, it's playable now at me. I reduced Air Link bitrate to fixed 125 mbps (in V44 it was on fixed 170) and I'm using 90hz.

v47 afflicted my headset with the "won't charge over ~55%" unless you are in the boot loader. Nice. No way to resolve this from what I have read, but it surely seems like a software issue. Some had mentioned that it started working again after a subsequent update, but I have no way to re-apply v47 or do much of anything until the next update comes out, if that even fixes it. Frustrating that this bug is still circulating.

I have the same issue as kzolee216 with a similar PC

I7 - 9700K

Asrock Z390 Extreme4

32GB RAM

Asus 3070 Ti TUF Gaming OC

It's really horrible experience. I have tried factory resetting and overclocking the GPU and the CPU (no difference). I reinstalled the Oculus app on the PC (Windows 10) with the latest Nvidia drivers, and older drivers ... no difference at all ...

Since v47 extreme stuttering and glitching in racegames like Project Cars 2 and Automobilista 2 on Quest 2 with link cable. Everything worked fine on v46. Please fix this, at the moment racing in VR is simply impossible!

For the love of Christ give us a way to revert back to V46 from V47.

I have read enough post and so called solutions over the past three days to make my eyes bleed. Its clear V47 is a problem for many of us using the link cable , its also clear many of us only use the quest 2 only for pcvr and our headsets are just sitting on our desk taking up space.

This is the kind of mess that means our next headsets we purchase will be someone else's product.

Do better. Much Much better.

For a lot of us issue started with v46. V47 made it better for me, I hope there is no new update which will ruin everything (although it's still far from perfect) for the holiday season. V47 and 44 was perfect, I don't understand why I can't downgrade. I don't give a crap about the new features when PCVR is ruined.

I wish I knew I could block updates before all this mess. I would have never updated. Why can't I just downgrade the firmware of a device I payed hundreds of euros for?
