    I hope there is new update before the holidays, so all of us that can't play now, enjoy the holidays. The V46 was way better than V47.

      Yeah if it fixes, sure. But someone wrote that there was an update yesterday which made things worse.

      I think some rolling release feature ruin things, but not activated for everyone in the same version. So a lot of you getting it now with v47 and some of us got it earlier in v46 because v46 was the worst for me, it was unplayable.

        The encoder still lags and causing stuttering on the lateset update.

        Also, if I put down my headset for 10 minutes, air link disconnects itself. Why? This wasn't the case before and totally unnecessary.

        Also these new hands in standalone mode are crazy **bleep**, sometimes it's all over the place if the controllers are moving. Why can't we turn them off to restore the ghost hands? It's totally useless anyway.

          After several returning to factory settings, reinstalling oculus app on my PC, I have manage to make it work with the link cable.

          I have lowered the encoder bitrate to 280 from 300. Now its way better.

          But the first 2-3 times it didn't work.

            I am having the same problem, I only play PCVR. Before I could stream half life Alyx on ultra no problem @ 1.6x, now on airlink I cannot even navigate the oculus menu without lag and then it grinding to a complete halt. Link cable does the same, stops functioning and just a static screen with the stupid black tunnels after about a minute, so the quest is now a paperweight for me.

            I have tried a factory reset of quest 2 and reinstalled the desktop software, but its still broken 😞 I am so angry with them for rolling out this update that breaks my device!!!!

            Did you try lowering the encoders bitrate ? It worked for me. Now it is ok and Im using it only for PCVR.

            I also have been able to use my link cable by lowering the encoder bitrate. ( I was maxed at 500 and just dropped to zero) There does seem to be a minor drop is the image quality. But I can walk around in Skyrim again..

              I was out taking some time off, so the announcement post was delayed. I've published it now here.
