Question

Updated Meta Horizon Link app to 85.0.0.239.552 and now USB Link breaks within a min or so.

Everything was working fine for months but after updating to 85.0.0.239.552, my USB link is broken.  After a min or so, the video craps out.  Images below, video attached.

 

This is not while playing games or dev'ing in Unreal or Unity.  This is simply connecting my headset and going into PC link via USB-C cable.  I simply go into PC link, wait about a min, and it craps out.

After this happens, I can exit out of Link.  When I disconnect and reconnect the USB cable,  the headset registers the connect and pops up the USB debug window.  But if I go to Quick Settings, the Link button says no PC is connected.  Link functionality is broken.  The ONLY way to reset Link is to restart the headset.  Then I can go back into PC Link, wait a min or so, and then it craps out again.

This has completely stopped all development on my project.

This issue seems to pop up when you hit VR Preview in UE 5.5.4.

USB link breaks in UE 5.6.1 as well.  As soon as you hit VR Preview a couple times, link craps out.  Airlink appears to work, but the link cable simply doesn't work.

It seems to be a problem with NVIDIA drivers. Rolling back to 591.74 or 591.86 fixes it.

Does anyone know if its safe to update the drivers now or if it keeps happening on newer nvidia drivers? I'm still on 591.86 and don't want to update in case it breaks again.
