Meta Horizon crashing after 30 minutes to an hour of playing

After around 30 minutes to an hour of playing, the screen freezes and turns off followed by an orange light. I would peek over at the monitor to see that the app itself has crashed rather than the Rift S. It restarts after a couple seconds. Guessing this is a software issue rather than my Rift S bugging out. Could anyone help me with this?

      OP is obviously referring to the horizon link app... But a july update messed up rift s users (headset crashing from idle wake white to orange light for me) still waiting for a fix

          Honestly, I might just wait to get the Steam Frame, because this whole situation is just ridiculous.

          Do that, if you're only playing PCVR. It's not as expensive as I first imagined, $1058 plus $60 for the comfort kit, a lot of YouTubers say it's better to get and another $150 for colour pass through if you want it. I was imagining $1,500! And if don't have any paid for standalone Quest games, you won't be losing anything as the Quest library will be gone. It's not for me personally as I'm not so into PCVR, but it will suit some. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. ðŸĪž
