      Hope it works! 
      HMD is still on a broken v43.0.0.xxx version so cant use PCVR via Link or Airlink. 
      Using it via VirtualDesktop atm. 
      Can´t enter PTC again since Oculus Phone app says it´s full. 
      My patience is running out and concider buying a Varjo Aero or Reverb G2 instead..

        This is straight up trolling at this point,how a multi billion dollar company can have such an incompetent management ? 

         

        Just gonna put oculusclient forced on 1 core and make it die until you fix this

          As I am forced to use v43, I will try to prevent the update in some other way, useless and horrible update. the funny thing is that the update was so poorly received that there are people like me who are trying to force v42 by dubious means for lack of support or control over the updates, disappointing and amateurish.

            Did I read that correctly, v43 is being sent out to the masses??? What is the purpose of this thread then, I opt into the Beta (to help in any way I can) I report a major issue that others are seeing, I don't get any recognition of the issue what so ever and now the version is being sent to everyone. Well done!!

              The worrying thing it's that it's not the first time, it looks like Oculus developers make 0, i men, ZERO testing and no ones looks for the user reports

              I was able to install v42 and block the update. It works like it meant to be. DEVS - v43 IS BROKEN !!! 

              I 'm writing it again in case you do not spotted it earlier:   V43  IS   B R O K E N,   B R O K E N,  B R O K E N.

               

              Also, the layout/design of this forum is one of the worst I've ever seen....

                  After updating to v43 (43.0.0.178) airlink broke, when im moving the headset it also moves the menu bar and the whole room but desktop window stays still, it was working fine before updating. ( sorry for the first post)

                  Updated to Oculus App Version 43.0.0.175.173 (43.0.0.175.173). Developing in Unity and app performance is OK but CPU usage when idle is 30pct - fans are going crazy.

                  Hi everyone, there's a fix for the CPU usage issue which some people are experiencing that's being tested right now. It's going to roll out gradually so that the team can monitor its performance. Keep an eye out for the PC build 43.0.0.188.173 which has the potential fix. If you don't have it yet, just wait a few more days and check again (I don't have the exact timeline for 100% deploy since it'll depend on how performance goes, but it shouldn't be too long).

                    Hi Ryan, no change for me.

                     

                    On PC, In Oculus > Settings > General tab, at the bottom it says Oculus App Version 43.0.0.189.173 (43.0.0.188.173)

                     

                    Does it matter that the non-bracketed version says .189. which is higher than the other?

                    My PC also got updated version 43.0.0.189.173 (43.0.0.188.173) but CPU usage problem still exists.

                    I tried to send feedback via Oculus App just in case it would provide some usefull info to developers, but feedback functions seems to fail. I get error message when I'm closing the app.
