Why is Link / AirLink so Unstable ??

PanDamien

I literally tried everything, Clean installing my PC , reinstalling the Oculus app multiple times, resetting the headset.
I can't play more than 2 hours before Link becomes absolutely unusable.
As soon as there is a some load into the game, the Oculus dashboard and all its services just crash leaving me with no controllers gestures (hand stays stuck open) and a 1 fps VR experience on a 1200€ "Pro" Headset and a 3K € High end Laptop.
I previously was using a Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop and you guys need to explain to me how a single dev Is capable of making a streaming app that is 1000% more stable than Link.
I'm forced to use Link for getting all the face tracking data, but I swear I soon as Virtual Desktop releases an update to support it I'm out of here.
This is truly unbelievable and I have to fight with Link every single time I try to play VR and I'm done.

Using AirLink Fixed and adaptative 60Mbps is unstable. 
Tried messing around with the Oculus dev tool.
Also tried using the Official Link cable but I get red bars at the bottom of the screen because you don't know how to manage your encode/decode. (An issue that is not present when using AirLink because another method to encode/decode is used...)
 
Please for the love of god.

And please don't tell me it's my Windows, a software I'm running or my quest having a hardware problem, I already checked and it's not the case.

As I have said, that cpu and GPU are laptop based.  Laptops are notoriously difficult for pcvr.

E and P cores are also on Desktop CPU. That’s not a laptop only thing.

Fine you believe what you want to believe.  I am out.  Just don't cry to oculus about a refund.

Don't want to sound rude here but why do you try to find excuses for it/blame it on his hardware so hard?!

Damien already told you on the first page to stop spreading misinformation about laptop GPUs and I told you before I have the same issue with a desktop GPU (that meets Meta spec) and have no issue with an unsupported GPU that is almost 10years old and gets outperformed by the 3070ti in his laptop by a longshot.

Go arround the forum and look for yourself how many peoples are having issues with AirLink since the last update. 

I looked and the only people who are complaining or have unstable link issues ARE THOSE WHO ARE USING LAPTOPS.  Laptops are an problem if you use the quest period.  I have over 2000 posts, hundreds of solutions and 700+ kudos.  So do your self a favor and actually read through the forums.  Just because you flex and say how much spent on a laptop, the value is useless if it is the wrong tool for the job.

 You’re right , only laptops are having issues.

You are making a fool of yourself - I can find two from this week alone on first glance. Here or here

I don't care about imaginary points. They don't qualify you to anything as this shows perfectly. So I would suggest you do yourself a favor and read my posts and maybe write a bit less posts but instead a couple more quality ones.

As said I have the same issues with a Desktop GPU. Also I checked the compatibility again and I cant find any official statement from meta that Laptops would not be supported. So buckle up and get the stick out of your A...there is something broken and we want to figure out what and why. I don't care if it's because of Intel CPUs (with P&E Cores) or if its a firmware/driver bug on Metas side - I just want to figure out what the problem is and just blaming it relentlessly on laptops is just not gonna help.

If you want to lock the post you can, this is not going anywhere sadly. I already sent a lot of logs to the support and i haven’t got a answer yet.

this is beyond frustrating at this point
