Oculus software is the worst thing I've ever had in my life..

[damianthetactic]

I spent over four hundred and thirty something bucks on this oculus rift s and believe me when I'm wrong I love you are right but don't get me wrong there's some companies that do their jobs right when it comes to VR such as valve and HTC but oculus you guys here are doing a massive step back in your process. What could have been over 20 hours of play session yesterday through today turn up to be maybe a few and buy a few I mean at least eight eight out of the 20 hours I was able to play and the other 20 hours in this example being I was spent devoted I'm getting my VR to work my headset has no issue the no issue at all it's this software and the software is absolutely dogshitand I want to say something to the thousands or maybe even millions of you guys who have a riff desk I want to let you guys know in a little secret who is that software is really really really really really really bad.it is so poorly optimized and so unstable that upon turning on my PC and turning on oculus it wants to restart the program over and over and over and over and over again but whenever it doesn't give me that pop up to restart the program he wants to give me a few other different problems like for instance the headset is this connected in some way shape or form from the USB or the display forI am so utterly disappointed on how hockey this is handled the situation I've read Reddit posts I've read f****** articles in everything I could on this matter you know that he's trying to get a fix for it before it even posting it on the forms so before you ask yes I have done my research yes I have tried every little thing in the book yes I did spend the last 20 hours I have not slept in the last two days because of how excited I am for VR and for having fun with it but with oculus software I'm not so excited anymore I'm more or less generally pissed and generally pissed is an understatement at my current feelings right now due to the fact that I spent over four hundred bucks on this headset just to be you no let down by the f****** software.I just want to point out that if there's anyone in oculus or anybody who wants to help out in my situation to let me know because I am quite frankly sick and tired of trying to work this software and maybe have a miracle and be able to play it for a few hours at mostoh and to the oculus staff or maybe even the developers if they read this little Forum posts that I made do yourselves a favor get to work on updating the software and better yet you have thousands of customers maybe even millions why don't you actually roll out the update way earlier and get it out so nobody has issue cuz it seems like a pretty simple software issue to me I've seen the stuff before and it gets fixed within a week but you guys apparently haven't fix it in over a year from some of the Reddit posts I've seen if this keeps up with me in the next maybe week or two I'm going to just send back my rift s. Anyways if there's anybody else would who is still experiencing this issue you know leave a comment down below saying how much you hate the software or how much you want it to be fixed so damn desperately or even removed entirely so that way we may play steamvr at peace because don't get me wrong I don't mind play robo recall every now and then so I don't know maybe move it to steam word belongs instead of having your own really buggy software so reliant on it anyways. I'm sorry and oculus please fix thank you I am Damian please get back to me as soon as possible and don't think is this as a threat talk is more or less this is a threat to a code that you have written known as oculus shitware.

This was voice to text with Google voice so apologies if the Grammer is wack.

Yeap, I second every word you said. Worst software in the history of softwares. I'm stuck for a few days downloading an update. Lol not even the updates are getting through.

The software works great on my PC. I’ve never had an issue with Oculus Software. I think the issue is your pos computer.

Congrats Maxxgold but read these forums and look at all the problems with USB disconnects and the framedrop/stuttering issues that are related to it. Oculus has admitted they are aware of the problem and its with their POS bug filled software not our POS computers.

Agreed, but with any PC equipment, you as the user need to figure it out. We can’t expect Oculus to design their headset to work on a million different setups. It’s up to you to make it work. I build my own pc’s and I’m never the guy losing his shit on a public forum. I put the link to the Inateck USB card right in my signature below. And , yeah it is your POS computer. If you had real USB 3 ports you would be fine, but most people just buy some put together junk. You buy or put together shit and then expect companies to help you. If you can’t figure it out, they make consoles for you to play games on. Either way, the OP’s post is way over the top and deserving of the response it got.

Yes but Maxxgold is correct, most (if not all) posts slating Oculus [NEVER] post their system specs - its like they don't really want help, and just want to shout and scream like little girls.

The OP is apparently not familiar with the nature that is PC gaming, the devs for PC only have a million and one different configurations to design a universal product for.  It is your hardware, or a conflict with software you have installed on your machine.  I have Oculus and Steam both installed and both software packages work flawlessly.   That's because I have the right hardware and none of the software conflicts.  People that put their own PCs together or have been using PC for several years seem to be able to make this stuff work much better than  the average consumer.  You're certainly not going to be open to any of our responses given that you think you're actually giving us all some secret info with your barely coherent post.

Yes this. Have been building all my rigs for many years now, and so far have had no trouble with my headsets.
Oculus working great for me.

I built this PC also and it is top of the line except for the CPU, but even that still far exceeds minimum specs. I also did buy the exact Inateck card the Oculus recommends. I also bought a powered USB hub as well. Not only do none of these things work but I've been dealing with a support tech for 3 months and feeding them logs while playtesting everything I can think of. The tech keeps telling me they are aware of the problem and are trying to fix it and admits it is their software and there is nothing more I should do but just wait. BTW everything worked fine for months until they released a Frankenstein update in December which introduced these problems for many people with different combinations of hardware. What if next month they release a driver version that makes your headset inoperable? Is that your fault? You just going to keep buying a new mobo or card every update? People with no problems are very forgiving of a company's faults until it happens to them too. With the way Oculus is going your wait may be less than mine.
