    Basically is 100% true what others have said regarding OCULUS LINK PC SOFTWARE (not on quest 2), version 43 PTC. I have a 9700k CPU , RTX 3080 and OculusClient.exe, without doing anything else just starting it, has 50-55 CPU usage. When i opted out from PTC and back to v42 on PC ( not on Q2), the usage was back to normal (0.5-3 %). 

    Something is definitely wrong in v43 OCULUS PC software.

    Please Oculus - allow me into PTC again or atleast push the latest v43 firmware out to my headset.

      V43 killing CPU so you rolled back to V42 a few days ago. All was now well. Why did you update to V43 again and not rectify the issue? CPU now working hard even when not using headset, AGAIN.... Task manager clearly shows Oculus software is not optimized again. So frustrating when the issue is known about and relaunched. I tried to remove my software and reinstall hoping to revert back to V42 with no luck!

        That is THE ISSUE. YOU CAN'T ROLL BACK ON PC. It forces updates. I opted out from PTC, it installed v42. Next day it installed v43...

          Same here, i thought "well, at least its fixed" and hours later the V43 update appears.

          This makes me want to throw the Quest through the windows, seriously, Oculus dev team test something? This is the things that makes me look for a headset not from Oculus for the next one...

            Estou tendo um problema absurdo com o uso exagerado e irracional do meu processador, não sou o único que quando você abre o ouculusapp se depara com 70% 80% da cpu usada, obviamente é um erro, nunca houve um problema com meu i5 9400f antes. na v42 sempre foi perfeito. Eu gostaria de tê-la de volta

            Im running a Ryzen 5 5600g with a gtx 1080. used to run perfectly before V43 and now im getting screen tearing in the oculus link menus while navigating, its ridiculous how badly this update came out.

            Make sure u report this CPU issue with v43 via Oculus App also, it seems here at least nobody cares anymore, even to respond.

            Hi all, thanks for reporting! I've updated the team about the CPU usage and they're investigating it. If you're still having trouble, it also helps to put in a bug report, with logs.

             

            They did put out an update to correct a different issue which is why some folks saw v43, then v42 again, and back to v43. Also, v43 for Quest is starting to go out, outside of PTC.

             

            Thanks again for testing and reporting! I'll let you know as soon as there's more to share.

              Hi,

               

              This CPU-hog bug is affecting us Rift S users too. Near impossible to play my regular games without any warping now. Everything has been fine for months. It's absurd that you don't allow users to at least choose from the last 2-3 sets of driver revisions, or prevent unnecessary upgrades.

               

              I own 2 Rift S headsets and my daughter has 1, we're daily users. Please fix this bug ASAP or at least revert back to v42 ASAP so we can continue to enjoy them.

               

              TY!

              Skuzz420  I'm not sure why this should effect your Rift S unless you are enrolled in the public test beta on the Oculus desktop pc app which is v43?  I'm on the non-beta and it's still v42 and I don't see this cpu-hog bug with my Rift cv1.  Maybe download the oculus desktop app from the support website run a Repair.  Hopefully that will land you back onto non-beta v42.  Also, make sure to enable oculus openxr runtime on the top of the settings/general tab.  Good luck mate and cheers.

              Many of us had reported what we get V43 while not enrolled on Public Beta, right now the public version looks to be the V43.

               

              I cant play with my Quest since one week due to the broken PCVR, im starting to think about selling my Quest 2 and buy another option, every new update comes with a surprise...

                Im still stuck on v43.0.0.125 on the headset... PC app reverts back between v43.0.0.175 and v42.0.0.xxx
                I find it hilarious that we all got diff versions on our headsets and those of us that have broken PCVR (glitching etc.) isnt getting a new version pushed out. 

                Using the PC apps repair tool doesnt do anything - it just installs the same files from the Meta Cloud.

                 

                Thnx for upping the prices though - now I can squeece some more out of it on the second hand market! 
                Im done with Oculus/Meta! Varjo have a diff level of customer experience 😄
