Anonymous  MSFS is working perfectly with v55ptc on both my Q2 and QPro/rtx4090 with Link and Air Link.  Sorry but I'm not sure what your problem is mate.  All I can suggest is you contact meta support and include your log files.  Good luck mate and cheers.

Edit; like others have said, make sure your Oculus desktop app is also on v55.  Go to your desktop app settings/general tab and scroll to the bottom to see the version.  If it's v54 you need to go to the beta tab and check the box to enroll into the public beta.  Hopefully that will help.

So… I’ve done an hard reset on Quest Pro because I couldn’t connect AirLink anymore, now it works, but I cannot restore mobile notifications on iPhone. Such a mess!

barabba9174  Oh well, at least you got Air Link working again, well done! 

I never bother with mobile phone notifications from my iPhone.  I always have it nearby, usually in my front shirt pocket anyway.

Ryanality  Aside; seems that the forum formatting is broken, for me at least.  All latest posts seem to go to last pages and I don't see any reply buttons after current posts.  I tried clearing my browser cache but this didn't help.  This is with my PC Chrome browser and iPhone Safari.  Hopefully this is just a weekend glitch, lol!

TomCgcmfc for me it’s an important feature, above all when I have to give the availability to my job in case of emergency. It means been able to have a look to messages without removing the headset.

So… more important than AirLink!

TomCgcmfc  The Announcements page of the forum has been switched to a “blog post” format rather than the usual forum layout. It seems that the blog post style doesn’t encourage discussion among commenters.

Have issues with Quest Pro and apps that looks Jaggy and unsharp for objects at a distance. Also making text hard to read!

Apps such as Figmin XR, Korg Gadget VR and others

Don`t know If it`s due to the PTC release or the Apps that can`t handle the Quest Pro?

Any one else seen this?

I know this sounds crazy but it works for me and the smoothness is back. Airlink when playing a game exit your boundary and then walk back in (Walk past the wall guardian.)  Now you will just see a black screen. While in your play space, restart the headset twice, (if you only do it once it will be less glitchy but it will still be there)  This completely removes glitches in the hands (I usually do a couple of turns in the default white desktop app room.) However after about an hour maybe 2 slowly but surely the white pixels will come back (Not as intrusive though) Anyways I know this all sound like a placebo but it really isn't in my case, hope this helps somewhat out.

Still having these nauseating stutters with airlink every 40 seconds... I tried everything. multiples reboots, factory resets, I give up. 1.5k dollar paperweight

v55 update 130 (i think its that).  The rainbow sparkles and lag spikes are back, BAD.  Earlier v55 had improved this, now its worse than ever.  Even the workarounds like putting the headset to sleep and waking it dont work except for the first few seconds.  Switching to 120hz in ADB still helps a bit but causes tracking studders bad so thats a no go. 

build 77 or whaterver the last was was good.  Tried to get off the PTC to find an earlier version of v55 but its still kicking me to v54 which is just awful.

Pretty sure this is a render/decode issue from pcvr apps

It happens with standalone games as well. So i guess it's not a Airlink/Questlink problem. It started with v53, there's something wrong with rendering in the unit itself, in OS prerhaps.

 

Something that reduces the problem for me is. Turn your device on, let it boot then Power down. When you turn it on again, hold the power button unil the meta logo blink and hard reboot. It works for me. Not everytime, but is quite consistent.
