Wired Link Completely Broken

After the recent v.81 update my Quest 2 headset has become fully paperweight due to the meta PCVR-LINK issues. I use my headset only for PCVR and ever since the latest update came out my headset gets recognized by the app and all but whenever i press to connect my link in the quest 2 pop up it just gets stuck on the Meta loading screen with the 3 dots but i hear the audio from my pc.

It has NEVER been like this, whatever you guys did with the update rollout you clearlt havent tested it enough or you're forcing people to buy your newest equipment for the money.

 

Its been nearly 10 days since this bug happened for me and numerous other people across Reddit, Discord, even on this website here.

      Description:
      Each time i connect my Oculus Quest 2 the connection gets established and i can hear my PC audio, but the headset itself gets stuck in the Meta loading screen with the 3 dots and a notification pops up which says "Meta Quest Link isn't working correctly. Click here to check our support article."

      >The Quest connects.
      >I only hear PC audio, the streaming handshake between the pc and the headset doesn't work as it gets stuck in an infinite Meta Loading screen with the 3 dots.
      >In the Meta app this message pops up: ""Meta Quest Link isn't working correctly. Click here to check our support article.""
      >Bricked headset

      Steps To Reproduce:
      Be as specific as possible. The more detailed your steps, the easier it is for us to replicate the issue.

      1. Start Meta App on the pc first, let it load fully.
        2. Connect your headset, the "Do you want to enable link?" Message pops up, i click yes and it directs me to the loading screen
        3. My PC Audio is heard through the headset, the streaming/handshake of my screen between my PC and the Quest 2 is just a permanent loading Meta logo screen with the 3 dots.

      Observed Results:
      the streaming/handshake of my screen between my PC and the Quest 2 is just a permanent loading Meta logo screen with the 3 dots.

      Expected Results:
      I expect it to behave like how it usually did, i connect my headset, it works fine, i play vr games using my link cable, then when i get tired i turn my headset off and store it away in a safe location in the box.

      • GPU used: Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti
