Optimize Your Air Link Experience: The Best Setup for Minimal Lag
Hello fellow VR enthusiasts, I wanted to share some insights on how to get the most out of your Oculus Air Link experience. As you know, Air Link allows us to enjoy PCVR games wirelessly on our Quest headsets, which is nothing short of amazing. However, to ensure that you're getting the best performance with minimal lag, your network setup is crucial. Here's what I recommend for the optimal Air Link setup: 1. **Wired PC Connection**: Your PC should be connected to your network via an Ethernet cable. This wired connection is more stable and offers higher speeds than Wi-Fi, which is essential for streaming high-quality VR content. 2. **Dedicated Router**: If possible, use a dedicated Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 router for your VR setup. These routers are designed to handle high-bandwidth activities like VR streaming. Wi-Fi 6, in particular, offers higher speeds, improved efficiency, and better performance in crowded networks. 3. **Tri-Band Router with a Dedicated Channel**: For those who can't have a dedicated router, a tri-band router is a great alternative. Make sure to set up a dedicated Wi-Fi channel for your headset. This means your headset will have its own exclusive lane for data traffic, preventing other devices from causing interference and potential lag. By following these steps, you should see a significant improvement in your Air Link experience. The dedicated channels and stable connection minimize latency and provide the bandwidth needed for a smooth and immersive VR experience. Remember, every setup is unique, so you might need to tweak some settings to suit your environment. But with a LAN-connected PC and a dedicated router or Wi-Fi channel, you're setting yourself up for success. Feel free to share your own experiences and tips below. Let's help each other get the best wireless VR experience possible! Happy gaming!
The Meta Quest Link installation is failing.
I'm unable to install the Meta Quest Link app on my PC. After accepting the terms of use, I should be able to select a drive for installation, but I'm only getting an error message saying I don't have enough space. My system has nearly 2 TB of free space, but I can't select either of my drives. Could someone help me with this?

Can’t upload add-ons (DLC/IAP) for PCVR app: “Permissions error” + “OAuthException”
Hi all, Is anyone else unable to upload asset files for add-ons (DLC/IAP) on PCVR (Link) apps? Every upload attempt ends in: "Permissions error", "type": "OCApiException", "code": 200 "An unknown error has occurred.", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 1 What I’ve tried: My apps and each DLC file is way less than 1GB Generated new app secret Removed and re-created the app in the developer hub Rebooted, tried different CLI versions Confirmed everything is set up correctly in dashboard Add-on is configured as normal, SKU matches, etc. No issues uploading add-ons for Quest/Android apps — only PCVR/Link I’ve seen a few others mention similar errors (over the years), but no solution yet. Is this a known Meta bug? Is there a workaround or is everyone just stuck waiting for a fix on Meta’s side? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
Anyone know a good place to buy sound effects for a project?
Hello I am curious as to where I can find a good site for purchasing sound effects for a Horror / Mystery game? This my first time going at a project completely solo. I do have simple audio gear but I would be interested in purchasing sound effects rather than trying to produce all of them myself. Thank you in advance.anyone know how to navigate menus or apps in PCVR link without controllers?
it seems that once i connect my headset to the PCVR link cable i can no longer yse hand tracking or navigate to anything on the virtual desktop. just to make sure we are on the same page. when i say virtual desktop i mean the gray grid world with the meta quest menu bar . i'd like to navigate to open or start application wihtou my controller since i don't use them in flight sims. is it even possible?Hand-tracking using Meta Link
I have noticed for quite a while that PCVR lacks the ability to do hand tracking/finger tracking even though some 3rd party software allows for it (Virtual Desktop/Steam Link). The oculus Rift S is way in the past now, at least in comparison to the quest 2 and 3. I would love to see some real updates happen to the software used; the interface has been the same since the Rift S was launched and I haven't really seen meta mess with it much let alone update it's look/features. Some people have been talking about getting hand tracking with a developer account, but that's so out of the way for a consumer who has already paid for hand tracking and just wishes to use it on a better platform that's easily accessible to them (pcvr). I frequent VRChat which allows for hand tracking; and while I use steam link it can vary with performance and video quality. I know I can't do much in the way of making change here but I hope some developer will see this and try making something out of it. I would love to see at least something made of the original oculus menu, even if it's something like attaching a screen to a remote like Steam can, or just going through with the watch idea after so many years.
