    I first tried service restart, but that didn't change anything.

     

    It seems that logging out (and new login) solved CPU load problem!

     

    Running Oculus App Version 43.0.0.189.173 (43.0.0.188.173). No other changes done on computer.

      Great to hear! I'll let the team know. If anyone else is still having trouble after getting the new build, go ahead and try logging out and back in and see if that does the trick.

       

      Thanks for reporting and testing with us, everyone!

      Logging out and back in for from the desktop app did the trick! Thanks!

        Same here, no fix after the update. Service restart or relog doesn't help.

        60% CPU usage at idle!!!! What the heck is this client doing? Mining bitcoins? All my VR is lagging and losing headset tracking.

          I can also confirm logging out and back in worked for me.  

           

          Go to Settings>Account>Log Out

          The issue is only with the Oculus account, when I used the Facebook account to log in with the Oculus app the issue was fixed. CPU usage with Oculus account is still 70%!

            Hi astrotol, I can confirm this works!!! Thanks!

             

            RyanalityNot happy at having to finally merge Oculus/Facebook to get past this bug, but CPU is now idling at 3-4%!

             

            What on Earth is going on inside the Oculus App with after an Oculus login?

             

            Please do tell when you find out! 🙂

            TY!

            OculusClient.exe
            Desktop version 43.0.0.175.173 (43.0.0.175.173)

             

            CPU was at rest 13%-15%
            Logged out, use the Facebook login (relog, restart)
            Became 0%-0.3%
            Works fine

            I wanted to report an annoying bug when setting bitrate for Airlink.  It will throttle down to 23 mps and shoot back up to the 150 range causing it to feel like your hitting a brick wall. Easy workaround is using the debug tool and manually setting bitrate. Hopefully this helps others. Happy Gaming!!

            Can you please provide a URL link to the download for v43.

            I've looked in the store page, i.e. https://store.facebook.com/gb/en/quest/setup/

             

            The "download" links in there point to the older Oculus install.

            This thread is for the public test build of V43. V43 should be rolling out to users as we speak if it hasn't already.  There's an article on how to update your Quest software here.

            Take your destiny into your own hands. Sand cannot keep a shape by itself, but add water and it becomes malleable. Fate can be such, if you add the right element.

            There is NO link at the location you mention to download the latest version of the App.
