sensors can't track headset rift s error
Ive been trying to set up a rift s headset, i get past the first setup step, cables connected correctly but when i get to the sensor check, it keeps giving me this error:
Ive tried troubleshooting for hours but nothing seems to work, and the only thing i see in the headset is the loading screen with 3 dots. Does anyone have any advice or tools that i can use to fix this issue, or any way that i can get meta support because when i try to submit a ticket, i have to put in the rift s serial number but the system doesnt recognize it. Please help me with this issue meta or readers.
