    Ryanality I have a question for ya. Do you have any idea when the new co-presence feature for Horizon Home will be available to PTC members? I would love to test it out and give feedback before it drops publicly!

    I'm in the PTC, but whenever I check for updates in my headset it says none available..? am I doing something wrong..? Or is this another example of UK users getting left behind..??

    Just received the v41 updates yesterday (the PC version first then the Headset). During game play PRIOR to the headset update there were no problems. As soon as the V41 installed on the headset I experienced bad stutter or Lag on the games (not Home) that I had been in. Factory reset the HMD, and retested with the problem still there. It turned out that the wired  LINK  was the cause (Airlink was fine) as though data was being pumped to the HMD in an irregular fashion causing at some times the top/bottom of the screen to shift to one side or the other or images out of place momentarily. The Usb cable was moved to all other sockets with no change and replacing the cable with another (unused/in the wrapper) cable (tested both between 2.9 and 3.1 Gbps) made no change.

    Thanks for sharing everyone, I'd like to get this in front of the team but could use some more details for the report! For those of you experiencing FPS issues or any latency with v41, can you confirm for me if this is happening only when on Link or Airlink or if this happens using standalone Quest 2? Also, if you notice this only in games or if it comes up when in home? For those with lag on PCVR, what version Windows are you running 10/11?

     

    Please make sure that you've reported this through the report a bug feature, as well.

    Sorry, forgot the operating system part.  Mine is windows 10 (will NOT update to 11). Airlink SEEMS unaffected as does the "Homeless" Oculus home (contradiction? lol.). The Quest Link when running intensive games is where I find the problem, most of my games are on Steam and the ones in my HMD were erased with the factory reset. Dropping the Quest link in the performance setting to "recommended" and also on Steam VR did not show an improvement for the problem.

    Also, the problem does show up in Steam VR home when looking at their menu in the wired Link.

    Thanks for the details everyone! The engineering team identified an issue that was causing some FPS/stuttering issues on PCVR and they're starting to roll out a fix for it. I'll update you all when I've gotten confirmation that it's out for everyone!

      Did something change? Tried the Quest Link this evening and, although nowhere near gone, the stutter "seems" to be slightly less than before.

      I no longer have those hard freezes but still feel lag. It's better, but not like it was before v41.

      Just received the PCVR update to 42.0.0.136.285 and in the few mins I was able to test it I could raise the recommended Quest 2 setting to 1.2 at 72 Hz and set Steam VR back to normal game settings with no noticed problems in Quest Link (for the 10 mins I was in) such as the bad stutter and screen jumps. I Liked the setting for Quest link and Air Link being in the same window now. Thank you for your work!
