Hey @Jakethecool69. Launching the PC app from a three terabyte drive sounds pretty smart. We would suggest that you uninstall the app from your computer and restart it and follow the instructions below:

 

Installing the Oculus PC app on a different system drive:

When you install the Oculus app on your PC computer, it'll install on the C: drive. If you want to install the app on a different system drive, make sure the new system drive has sufficient free disk space and is formatted to use the NTFS file system.

 

To install the Oculus app on a different system drive:

  1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run command
  2. Enter the following path: [drive]:\Users\(Username)\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe/drive=[new system drive]
    • Replace [drive] with the letter of the drive where Oculus was downloaded to.
    • Replace [new system drive] with the letter of the new drive you'd like to install Oculus to.
    • Examples:
      • C:\Users\(Username)\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=D
      • C:\Users\(Username]\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive:D
  3. Click OK.

The Oculus app will then open and attempt to install the app on the new drive you've chosen.

If you're still having trouble launching from that drive, please reach out to support with your PC logs that you collect using the following steps:

 

  1. Open the Run window (Windows key + R).
  2. Enter and run: C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusLogGatherer.exe
    • The above link is the default directory. Bear in mind that if you installed the Oculus PC app to another drive you will need to update the command with the correct file path.
  3. Select the checkbox next to ‘Full logs’.
  4. Select "1 day" from the "Collect last" drop down list.
  5. Wait for the log collection to finish. This can take some time to complete.
  6. The program will automatically generate a zip file containing your logs, which will be saved to your desktop automatically.
  7. Attach the newly created zip file to your next support response.
