Meta Quest v83 USB Link problem

Public Beta v83 has e problem with the max bitrate encoding that you can use in the DebugTool

On v83 you can use up to about 640mbits MAX before getting lagg, stutters, jumps, etc, staying in the Meta Link Dashboard you already notice all the problems, without running any game or app. That of course affect EVERYTHING that you run in that state.

On v81 you can use up to the limit of 960mbit without ANY lagg or problem, totally smooth.

Please check and fix that, thanks

  • Hello,

    Finally,
     is there a way to downgrade to Desktop app to v81 ?

    Link v81 worked well too on my ecosystem ...

  • I have not tried lowering the bandwidth and like most of you in here I had everything dialed.  As soon as it moved us from v81 to v83 it broke.  I even moved to the Public test version and it still has the bug.  Yes I double checked all my settings after the update and disabled ASW.

      You're welcome! and BTW! ... The new official NON PUBLIC BETA release v83 for Quest it's now working without that problem, I don't know if the latest BETA still with the problem, I did't test it yet.

        I updated to that and min still gives me super bad stutter at 960MBps I have to be down to 500 with same settings as few days ago , it happened before once as well due to update . I wish they made it optional and don’t force the Pc update , I had my wifi off since v81. And it was magical now I’m think to purchase a dedicated headset like Index used to be to avoid all this bull every few months.

      BAD NEWS ... FALSE FLAG ... The problem was NOT FIXED ... The DebugTool for some reason on v85 now it needs that you RESTART de Oculus Service in the top menu, in order to update the value that you put in the "Enconde Bitrate" field. Even tho the DebugTool app version (visible on "about" option menu) still on v83 after you update to the beta v85. In ALL previews version, on DebugTool you just type the Encode Bitrate value and press ENTER, and that already update in realtime the bitrate to the new value. So, I thoght that after updaing to v85 it's the same, so I've enter a new value like 900 mbits, and press enter, thinking that was already updated to that value, I see no sttuter and I thought the problem was fixed, but nope, the new value was not updated, you now must restart the service and that will update to the new value, so... Then I've notice that the problem at a higher bitrate (anything above around 550) create the drop fps to about 30fps (constant, without stutter) in the dashboard and any app or game. So, No problem fixed yet.

      • I have the same problem. In the menu allready things cant keep up in v83 its a night mare now in v85 also. I create content and I can not play like this. Meta fix this please. I did not invest this much money to get a bad experience and not be able to make content any more

      Same here , please could you some how have one stable firmware and PC software and leave it optional to update ? My last update was so perfect it was just a dream now it’s complete shhhhhhttttt and instead of crystal clear 120 I see crystal clear 45 no matter what I do with space warp , also please take Space warp out or have some option to completely remove it , some of us don’t need that fake stuff but it kicks in anyways !!!

        You need to use the OculusDebugTool and change the ASW setting from "Force 45 fps, ASW disabled" to "disabled". Note that this option could get reset when you restart your PC or update the software, so you need to check it regularly.
