Hi everyone,We recently identified an issue with Meta Quest Link unable to launch which caused users to be stuck in the app launch loading screen. We’ve now released an update that should resolve this problem.What’s changed: The main issue is fixed, and you should be able to use Meta Quest Link as expected. Please note: For now, you won’t be able to see your hands in Dash. However, raycasts are visible, and you should be able to interact with games and other content as usual. Thank you for your patience while we worked on this fix! If you continue to experience any issues, please let us know in the comments.

Abdallah.hilali I wasn't actually having any link/air link problems with either my Q3 or QPro until today's meta-link app update. Now I cannot see my controllers in dash and many meta-link apps crash. Back to the drawing board imho, lol!

Now the experience its worst

Link launchs and connect correctly but the experience its horrible, slow, artifacts, lag.

At least with the firewall workaround LINK was working good, but today its impossible do nothing

Hi Abdallah.hilali. After this fix, there is a significant performance regression on PC VR. Especially on performance heavy scenarios. This worked fine in previous version. Appreciate it if you can investigate the cause of this!

I ran the quest link this morning after the update on the Meta quest link app and it started this morning, then an hour later I went to boot it up and it's stuck on the loading screen like it's been for the past 2 days. Are the servers still taking a crap? or do I need to delete and reinstall something?

Nice response time regarding the issue, However I see many additional issues in this post. I have not tried my system today yet but perhaps a rollback is warranted as everything was perfect before the update(at least for my iracing setup). And I like the hands and use them as a primary vs the controllers.

Add on: I use a cable link and always have as airlink is too slow
