Random disconnecting after Meta Quest 3 v76 update (April 2025)

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask if anyone has been encountering issues after the last April update, around 24th April to be exact. I mainly use the headset with wired link to play VR sim racing. Before this update, I had absolutely no issue, shortly after the install, the VR connection is lost after about 15-30, after an intense session.

Is there any fix for this? I saw that there is no way to roll back the driver... which is quite a shame. I was so excited after I bought it and set it up, only to have it crash now every half an hour.

Meta suggested me to opt-out of the beta program and factory reset the headset to get back to last stable version. They recognize that there is potential issue with v76 and adviced to rollback to v74. That is...not possible though.

The instructions were to opt out of beta and factory reset the headset to do so.


The quest link app is now (still) on 76....351. I disabled auto updates on both the app and the headset. The headset was back at v76.0 after the factory reset.

The first try out was positive. I played twice as long without a game crash. Will test more later.

I have this problem too. I fly DCS World mainly. It has appeared in the latest updates. Also handtracking is lost in my headset alltogether. I will factory reset and try, but it seems to be V76 / V77 that is the issue. Never had this issue since I bought the headset at launch.

YEP. I did a factory reset of the headset and the problem got EVEN worse. Now I get crashes when not even using an external VR game. It crashed right when I connected Pc via link cable. I saw the diamond pattern when looking to the sides too.

Don't bother Harry....i tested again and after about 12 minutes of flying the entire system froze.
So ...315 + v76.0 in the headset doesn't work either

I don't know how

I have experienced same issue since latest update. It seems that76.1023 caused the problem, I believe it was still functioning correctly with the initial v76 update. I recall when I got home, I picked the headset, which had just completed the update, and since, Link has been crashing frequently.

I attempted the update again through the portal and performed a factory reset. While downgrading to v76 resolved issue temporarily, reappeared after some time. I updated again to the latest version, oddly shows as v76.1024, even though the portal states that the latest version is v76.1023.

I also tried airlink, but it seems to have completely stopped working. the headset indicates it is connected launching the app either crashes it back to the settings screen or leaves it frozen on the Meta logo.

I also tried to reinstall the oculus app on the computer but still having the issue.
