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)

Thanks man!! downloading v24! but! I don't get that part

"create txt-files without extension(.txt) in Oculus folder
tmp
Staging"

Should I create text file and write "tmp Staging" in that text file but then, erase ".txt" from it's name? Or create two text files with the names tmp and staging without .txt, ending?

So I changed the folders, manifest too. And I'm still at 23 (Oculus App Version 23.0.0.43.517 (23.0.0.43.517)) and after turning on ptc it started to download 10 updates, probably to newest v25. Or will it not say in the app that it is v24, but it is? : )

EDIT: found the show file extension option in file explorer :P will try whole process again : )

Thanks for replying. Problem is I can't erase .txt from the files because it isn't in the name, yet it is a text file.
I don't know if that's windows 10 thing or not. I don't get it

I made it : D it seems to not be installing new updates now, nice. However, oculus app shows I'm still at Version 23.0.0.43.517 (23.0.0.43.517) is that the case with you too? Will check later on if perfomance got better ; )

Dude, you are a genius. The change in performance between v23 and v25 is astronomical. I was flying Las vegas strip with smooth fps in mfs2020. And here is a kicker, i have 1050 ti for gpu. I will write about it in vr mfs2020 group because the difference is mindblowing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

If you want, replace the Manifest folder from the 24th archive and it will show the version that is. But it will write that there is an update.
But better to leave the Manifest folder from the officially installed version, then the oculus home will not understand that it is being deceived :)))

I kinda think mine get it :D but maybe because I copied it earlier, because it tries to download the update, it's queued. But it's not updating so that's good. But to hell with that, the performance is amazing now!
