v25 PTC PC Software Release Notes

Oculus Link

  • You can now set your refresh rate to 80hz and 90hz when using Link with a USB-2 cable.
    • Keep in mind, that even with some of the newest and most powerful GPUs, maxing out values for the render resolution slider with a 90 Hz refresh rate may result in dropped or missing frames.
  • Fixed an issue causing Link to show a black screen after exit.
  • Reduced incidence of “Oculus Link is not working” errors that were happening on shut down. 

(Quick note version numbering: v25 will be the next live release for everyone, as v24 will stay as an internal stability build only)

    Same effect here. Extreme stuttering with PTC 25 and Quest 2 original Link cable. USB test also delivers less Gbps than with PTC 24 and stable. Maybe just compatible with a higher Q2 firmware?



    Rolling back to v23 and then reinstalling v25 beta seems to have fixed the problem for me...I think it's worth giving it a try


    Noticed that too. But setting the encoder up to 500Mbps will cause the same problem again. Compare the Datarte on both versions. You will get less on PTC 25.

    Yes, I confirm the same here...

    Next problem with PTC 25. Extremely jittery with Rift S and Walking Dead Saints and Sinners.

    After my issue, that after the download of PTC v25 my Oculus-app doesnt start anymore (seems like the OVRServer is crashing in loop) i have cleaned my Oculus-Installation, deleted anything related in %appdata% and Registry (Windows 10) and reinstalled the Oculus-App. Now - when i activate PTC in the settings, the Download of PTC v25 does not start. Ive waited several days (since last saturday) and nothing happens. I am on a clean install v23 and the download of ptc v25 is queued and nothing happens. Any hint, how i can solve this problem ?

    Same here ...
    After updating to V25 PTC (coming from V24 PTC) the services didn't start anymore. Seems that the OVRServer process is crashing continuously. Oculus Home app is restarting in a loop. For MSFS2020 i have to use the PTC version.

    Reinstalling brings me back to a working V23 but the download to V25 PTC is queued since more than 24h. As you can see in https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/96633/complete-breakdown-of-oculus-installation-now-cant-even-repair-reinstall-as-download-gets-stuck , other users got the same issue and solved it with downloading via VPN. It seems, that there is a problem on Oculus side.

    With V25 Oculus Rift S is huge perfomance problem with MSFS2020. Lots of artifacts and very low FPS. 15-20fps with LOW setting ingame.

    Lots 'app missed submit count' frames
