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.

I'm having the same problem only thing that helps is to leave my pc on and put the q3 in sleep mode when not using. If I reboot my pc it will take 45 minutes of screwing around reinstalling the link app and restarting my pc.  Even still i had a crash today after 15 minutes of iracing.. Meta needs to fix th

Same here!

The latest email i got from meta support indicates that have internally escalated the issue as they understand some...or many..of us are no longer able to play PCVR. We have to wait for the developers to fix it, or the rollout policy to change enabling a rollback to the last-known-good.

And then wait for it to drop....

Yes, I also got the same...

Added info, it seems it disconnects even if I watch Youtube (VR ->PC desktop)... crazy how they managed to absolutely ruin the experience. If they don't fix it I will most likely sell it and look for an alternative which is specifically for PCVR... I have the feeling that Meta is more interested in their app store games and those stupid VR Worlds than PC Link.

I found something in another topic, this might be a possible workaround.

Temporary solution for Quest Link wired V76 issues... - Meta Community Forums - 1317415

I used an adapter to convert the original quest cable to a type A port. On the USB test C type is showing 3.1 with the adapter its 2.9, both is USB 3. I played 30 minutes, and I haven't experienced the issue. 

One thing to mention, its charging the headset slower, so it's not ideal. Also only tested for 30 minutes, but feels like that's a progress from the maximum 20 minutes. I won't be able to test tomorrow, but thought someone might want to give a try.

You know what a smart dev in companies do when they do a mistake to roll back to previous version, also even if u the copy pasta search milions of forum the app wont work anyway, i also notice on the oculus tools doesnt work any tool appearing error, i did milions test even formatting all nothing happen even switching pc same, the vers v74 never had problems, if they dont fix in couple month i do refound because they not providing assistance and ignoring everyone

Those who just want to play PCVR (offline) games can avoid any USB disconnection by blocking Meta Quest Link app's internet connection with a firewall rule. (outbound)
By doing so you never get disconnected.  In fact, inside AppData\Roaming\OculusClient are log (error) files saying that the disconnection happens from the server.

Obviously is just a temporary measure until this issue gets fixed. But at least it's still possible to play PCVR on  latest update without the USB disconnecting. (tested it for more than 2 hours without USB disconnections).
