    Is it to much to ask for when saying that we should get the oportunity to opt into PTC again if left it and to be able to downgrade to latest stable release? Not fun to be stuck on a version with serious issues without the ability to downgrade to v42 again which worked just fine.

    Im here with a basically useless PCVR function 😕

      This last update v43 has serious performance issues...

       

       

      Just have the oculus running without doing anything is consuming above 50% CPU usage.

       

      My PC:

      Windows 10 up to date

      Intel i3 8100

      GTX 1650

      16GB RAM

          64Gb RAM

           

          Screenshot was taken when the Quest 2 was off...

          Also, I'm getting a lot of Link disconnects. PCVR is unusable for me at moment.

           

          This is how v42 shows in the same machine, same scenario:

              Me too... on my quest 2.

              Desktop-App is still at v42.

               

              Precise:

              - Version: 43.0.0.167.120.387708431
              - Runtime: 43.0.0.167.120.387708528
              - OS Vers: user-37314400736000000

              - Oculus-App-Version: 42.0.0.136.285

              The V43 update is completely broken, the same thing for both LIVE and PTC. Massive CPU hit from just open the app and idling.

               

              My specs:

              Windows 10 21H2

              i7-3770k (OC4.4GHz)

              RAM 16GB

              GTX 1070Ti OC

              OS and app installed on SSD

                I also have high CPU load problem with v43 OculusClient.exe. Repair installation did not help. For me this makes Quest 2 PC VR unusable for sim racing ☹️

                Up to date Win10, i5-7600K and 1080Ti, just Oculus software open, no games running:

                  Please answer, Oculus home contains a miner? I see 30% cpu load on my i5 12400f, started only Oculus Home app, with not linked quest2.

                    It does not include a miner - that´s for sure. 
                    For most of us - Oculus is below 1% in usage while in idle(not using the headset)

                      Basically - THE PROBELM PERSISTS: 50-60% cpu usage.

                      WITH PTC AND WITHOUT PTC oculus version is:  43.0.0.175.173 (43.0.0.175.173)

                      It looks like day ago I opted out from PTC - it reinstalled old v42, today it forced v43 and cpu 50%

                       

                      DEAR DEVS, WHAT TF YOU ARE DOING !!!????

                      P.S. 

                      I was thinking to buy 2nd headset for my dughter but now I consider to look somewhere else...
