Question

Horizon Link only connecting as USB 2.0

My Link connection was okay on Saturday 17/10. After my session, I was prompted to update drivers (again!), and did so. When I went to use it yesterday 18/10, the image in my headset is stuttering and unplayable. Only because I have the Debug Tool on high settings, did I realise that my cable is now only connecting as USB 2.0. Defaulting the Debug Tool fixed it, but the image is not as good.

 

Question: I thought I would have to spend £90 on a new cable, but could it be the updated drivers causing the issue?

    Maybe I’m missing something, but how does that help me? Similar issue but different set-ups, and I do not see a definitive answer to my question...

    No, it’s not a definitive answer, just showing that a few other people had issues with that the past days.

    Why is it asking you to update drivers? Are you on PTC?
