White horizontal stripe across screen while using link

I think that because of the workaround, every 5 minutes the oculus service is poping something that is taking focus on windows for 1~2 seconds and bringing it back. Closing the oculus service fixed it for me, anyone else with this issue?

I updated to Windows 11 and V35 and PCVR is now a nightmare with my Quest 2. I have the white stripe, I have to keep the oculus service console open and every 2-5 minutes the VR basically crashes with no error I simply see a flat picture of the game and the same picture but reversed in my back. Facebook and Microsoft are not doing anything to fix all the issues I think I will sell my Quest 2 and quit VR for a while.

Bonjour à vous, je me demandais si quelqu’un avait trouvé une solution au problème de bande blanche en bas d’écran. J’ai le même problème seulement avec DR2 et j’ai beau chercher partout, je ne trouve aucune solution. Merci de me tenir au courant.

Bonjour à toi,

Personne ne te répondra si tu ne fais pas un minimum d'efforts. Tout le monde communique en Anglais ici, et je peux te garantir que les autres ne feront pas l'effort de traduire le français pour t'aider, si tu ne fais pas l'effort de comprendre ce qu'ils ont passé du temps à écrire... simple conseil 😉

Pour répondre à ta question (vu que tu as de la chance de tomber sur un français), il n'y a aucune solution officielle et Oculus semble ignorer tous ceux qui ont ce problème. Depuis 1 an que ce problème est signalé, rien, nada, que dalle !

Dans les pages précédentes, un utilisateur explique en détails toutes les étapes à suivre pour contourner le problème, mais ce n'est pas sans inconvénients. Il faut downgrader le système en V24 car c'est la dernière version officielle qui fonctionnait sans ce problème. Mais en downgradant en V24, tu perds toutes les évolutions apportées par les versions ultérieures (airlink, etc).

A toi de voir, si les fonctionnalité perdues par un retour en V24 ne te pose pas de problème, tu peux essayer de suivre la méthodologie détaillée dans les messages précédents, ça semble fonctionner pour tous ceux qui l'ont fait, sinon tu es condamné à attendre qu'Oculus fasse quelque chose, et c'est pas pour te décourager que je te dis ça, mais ça fait 1 an qu'on attend qu'ils agissent et qu'ils résolvent ce problème... 😡

Yeah this is clearly something software related is something with the Oculus software.   I just started getting the bar today and it got progressively worse the longer I played.  I was playing FO4 VR but switched to Skyrim VR and Pavlov. 

However as soon as I switched to Virtual Desktop it didn't show up.  

Update.  Ok so i went into the occulus debug tool and adjusted somethings. 

1. Distortion Curve set to low

2. Encode Bitrate to 350 (i had this set to 350 last year at some point it got set to 0 or defult.  Not sure when this happened but it did)
3.  Link Sharpening Enabled 

Not sure which of these three things fixed it but it works fine now.  My money would be on the bitrate.  

Hi everyone. Here is the main i send to oculus support today. 
I managed to get rid of the bug, using Airlink, but each of you does not necessarily have the means to do the same.
I invite you all to make a similar mailing campaign to the support, the youtubers ect in order to be heard. I do not have a good grasp of the tools of the Internet, but a mass movement can perhaps advance the problem.

Hello Oculus / meta / facebook

Here, it's been eight months that this bug was reported by me, more than a year that this bug occupies the number one place of your user forum, months that your updates follow one another without concern for this problem.
Rescue solutions have been found by forcing a return to V24 of your firmware; but in the meantime your technical service remains deaf and dumb.

For my part, I have to consider your VR solution unsuitable for the needs of my clients (Pilots / Real estate professionals / Virtual reality rooms) and must therefore cancel the pre-order of 750 planned units.
On the more personal side, I have to change my VR headset for a competitor as soon as possible and warn as many people as possible against this major defect that your company has deliberately ignored in your headset.
You had launched a revolutionary product on which you found it easier to neglect the PC and Simmer community. It is your choice and it is unfortunate.

If you choose to change your mind, there is still time to communicate on your forum with all the users who, moreover, have made good progress in identifying the problem.
Understand that as powerful as your company is, the competition grows fast and fiercely.
Generally speaking, players can pass the towel on a badly finished product, but rarely on a feeling of ignorance and contempt.

Yours truly "

Good luck to all

*Forget about / to not consider (thx google trad) 

For anyone that's still having issues, try going into the Oculus Debug Tool and disable the "Encode Dynamic Bitrate", which I've found is set to default. I originally ignored this and left it as default because I thought it affected Air Link only since the Oculus Dash menu allows you to choose between fixed and dynamic. I'm running a 3080, so I've set the bitrate to 500 for now and the image quality is amazing. I haven't encountered any low compression bars or pink/white lines since doing this.

I got v37 PTC. Still not solved. 😩

Many thanks to fyte, manual starting the oculus service fixed the stripe in MSFS. In my case it appeared some seconds after changing to vr. Yesterday i played half an hour and no stripe 🙂
