Question

Not able to use Horizon Link for weeks

Hello. 

Lately, I have been having an issue where when I try to play my Steam VR games using Meta's Horizon Link app, it will randomly disconnect the VR headset from the link entirely. In some cases, the game (from the headset) will freeze and glitch out if I move my head at all. I have never had this issue from my +1 year of playing PCVR with this headset and now this issue has started occurring. I have tried resetting the headset, using a different cable, switching OpenXR(s), and even changing my encoder (from the debug tool) from H264 to H265. I think it might be due to a recent Link update, but I am not sure.
