Question

In-headset image freezing on link app

As the title says I've been having a long occurring PCVR issue where the image in my headset, a quest pro, will freeze while all other data, being tracking and audio, works perfectly fine, this doesn't happen during steam links new beta that uses USB, though i have other issues with that app, so I'm certain the issue ISNT my cable or my ports

i do run other programs but again, steam link didn't have an issue with them and neither did quest link pre v76, if anyone else has or had this issue please let me know what you did to fix it or how are you currently trying to combat it 

My specs are 

4070s 
Ryzen 5 5600x
32gb of ddr4 ram

The programs i run along side meta link are 

OBS
Slimevr server
Voicemod
Space calibrator
OVR advanced settings
Steamvr

I've attached a video of the frozen in-headset image, whilst recording this everything was tracked fine on my monitor mirroring

Is there an official known issue post or is it just community driven posts?

As this is a user only forum, all posts and are from volunteers offering advice. Your question here is irrelevant as you obviously didn't check the forum for possible solutions before opening an unnecessary thread. 

However, you can also contact Meta support through their website or the links on your phone app if you want official support.

but tried the majority of solutions given in that thread only to come to the same conclusion that it didnt work

Have you tried downgrading your gpu drivers, this works for the majority of people who are having trouble with this - since months.

That's why everyone tells you to search the forum...

In the thread below I've linked a few threads - probably not all - that are related  to this issue. Maybe you'll fid some other helpful tips there as well.

yes, i have, being vague about it doesn't help at all

"just read lol" is about as helpful as a blind mans directions

Hm, still no answer, if you've downgraded your drivers.

I'm not sure, if you want help at all...

... I'm out here.
