Link and Air Connection

How much longer can you continue to mock your customers? Why does every update to the PC app break both the cable and wireless connections? Okay, there's a problem, but why isn't there a way to revert to the old, working version, or have you just broken it and done with it? I even bought a new SSD and reinstalled everything, including the latest OS, and nothing helped! What kind of attitude do you have toward your fans? What are the chances, in your opinion, that I'll buy another Meta product or recommend it to my friends with this kind of treatment? I'm seriously tired of it.

  • Hello, you are absolutely right, I had to reconnect my Rift S. The link of the quest 3 does not stop disconnecting and it is indeed the fault of the updates with the V74 or V75 it worked very well. Meta this PC VR madman it is my last headset with them that's for sure , sorry for my bad english :)

    Link/AirLink is working perfectly fine on my Quest 3 (v79.1034) and Windows 11 (24H2), i7-5820K, RTX 3080, 32Gb. I haven't had any problems in the 4 or 5 months that I've had my Quest 3. There have been many updates during this time, but nothing "broke" 🤷‍♂️.

    The only issue is a known bug where, after exiting Link, hand tracking is disabled until I toggle it off and on again (this seems to be a bug with the headset firmware, not Link).

    It happened to me too: the problem arose when I updated both my PC and headset (quest 2) to version 81. From then on, I either use the cable or connect via WiFi only with virtual desktop. The problem didn't arise until I had version 81 only on the headset and 79 on the PC.
