TL;DR of the most important my request:
en: Please do not suspend my playing VR because of re-logging-in of Oculus.
ja: オキュラスの再ログインのためにVRを中断させないでください。
PROBLEM IN SHORT
There are two problems in the process of re-logging-in:
- It looks restarting VR Application is required to re-logging-in.
- It looks the re-logging-in process will freeze if some VR apps are running.
DESCRIPTION
The bad behavior I have is like the following.
Yesterday, When I'm playing VRChat, I found the laser beam of Oculus from my hands.
I opened OculusDash and I found the message let me login to Oculus (I forgot the exact message).
So I clicked button to login & run process to login on web browser via SteamVR.
Then, Oculus Air Link suddenly crashes/stops and it became impossible to reconnect.
I opened desktop, then I found the OculusClient that is not working including close button.
I waited for a few minutes but it still working so I stopped VRChat and SteamVR, killed some processes of Oculus, and restarted Oculus.
Then I could login quickly.
MY PREDICTION
I think the problem is caused by one behavior: restarting Oculus is required to re-logging-in.
IMO, It's very clear that the first problem is by this.
The second problem is not clear.
In the process of restarting Oculus, if some VR app is running, the OculusClient asks us "do you want to close the VR app?"
However, in my opinion, in the process of re-logging-in, the OculusClient cannot show the prompt above so Oculus cannot be restarted.
If there's no need to restart Oculus, the both problems will go away.
ADDITIONAL REQUEST
If It's too hard to implement re-logging-in without restarting Oculus, please implement one option to use OculusDash without logging-in while the currently running VR app is running.

expected behaviors:

10: Do not stop Oculus AirLink during re-logging-in
11: Re-logging-in successfully.
