This is a more detailed explanation of my last post. Over the past few months, I have been struggling to get the Quest Link software to work properly on my PC. I've been playing PCVR games since 2022, and this is the first time I'm encountering this problem. Upon clicking the Quest Link application, it is stuck in a perpetual boot loop, and is only fixable through restarting the Oculus Runtime Service through the services application through Win+R and typing "services.msc" to locate the Oculus Runtime Service. After manually restarting the service, the Quest link app will successfully launch and will allow you to play PC/VR. Everything seems fine for about 30 minutes before it proceeds to freeze-frame your current VR session. Unplugging and replugging the cable works temporarily, but the issue happens more frequently the more you do that. This issue is relevant to both of my desktop computers, both of which exceed the minimum specifications for PC/VR. The issue is not my cable, as I've tested multiple cables just to have the same issue, and if it were the cable, it wouldn't explain the perpetual loading upon launching the Quest Link application, which leads me to belive it is a software level issue, and not due to my hardware, or even drivers for that matter since I do not experience issues outside of VR.
"Perpetual boot loop" as in when you click on the link app to use it, it is stuck in the loading screen until you go into the services application and manually restart the Oculus Runtime Service
You're not alone; it's following the V74 and V76 updates. I personally tried everything for over 12 hours... Méta remains silent on the problem for now. Whether it's the V76 software or the Quest Link application on the PC, no one really knows... Seeing as some people don't have any problems... In any case, it really bothers me because I pay a subscription for my car simulation...
Its not even really a connection issue. My quest 2 will connect no issues. its the simple fact that the Link application just.. doesn't work at all.
