i pushed the update on the PC app. I've not noticed any major differences yet but i'm sure they will come in time. I have noticed, however, that when running Half Life Alyx through Steam VR it really struggles, which it didn't do before i updated. It's very, very laggy. It's actually unplayable. Has anyone else experienced this?
Yes. HL Alyx with Steam VR uses a ton of CPU now for the Oculus Server. I can run it fine with my i5-6600k and RX5700 and Virtual Desktop. Oculus Link is unplayable because my CPU bottlenecks it. I'll probably get a 7700k just to get another couple years out of my current PC, but I would think Oculus could develop the Link to be more efficient than a SINGLE dude cobbling the VD stuff together.
My headset is still on V21 though so we'll see if V23 on both PC and HMD helps.
