We've just started rolling out a possible fix for the repeated sensor disconnection issue. This is a problem that could cause the sensor to disconnect while idle on certain hardware configurations. Although we had some trouble reproducing the exact problem in our lab, we have a good idea of what the core issue was and believe it may be resolved.
Some customers have already received the update, and everyone else should have it within a few hours. The update should happen automatically, but you'll have to just unplug and replug the sensor to reset its state.
I'd recommend people wait until later this evening to test and see if the fix actually resolves their issue. Either way, please report back so we can understand if the fix was a success. Thanks.
Edit #1: Just one question: Is there anything other included in the patch, or is this strictly for the USB disconnects?
Edit #2: I had constant USB disconnects & reconnects for 20 minutes, then i recieved the update, pressed "update" and after oculus restarted i havent heard a single usb disconnect in 5 minutes. Lets go peeps.
Edit #3: Going on 30 minutes now. Still nothing. Lets hope this continues 🙂
Ok just played for about 30 minutes with the update and SO FAR everything is good. Hopefully this is a permanent fix :). Thanks for your hard work Oculus team....I know we all appreciate it!
What about the Microsoft wireless adapter for the bundled XBOX 360 controller? That keeps disconnecting with error as well. I know it's a Microsoft issue with the anniversary update. However, Oculus did bundle it with their device and it's the only way to play games if you don't have any other controller.
I would expect Oculus to work with Microsoft to get this issue resolved as well. Is there any update on this?
