I've recently got a computer with an RTX 2050 and an I5-13420h as well as 16gb of ddr5 ram. Even with these specs though, I have a glitch where it says my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements, even though it does. It runs vr superb, especially on airlink. Although, the fact that when clicking to do airlink on my quest 2 it says "Missing Requirements" quite bugs me. Is there any way to fix the issue of it stating I don't meet the minimum requirements or is it just a glitch?
Alright, then, @Thatgoofyvrguy! In that case, let's go ahead and try uninstalling then reinstalling the Meta Quest Link desktop app using these specific instructions:
Toggle Air Link off in your headset settings
Disconnect your computer from the internet
Backup any necessary content

Reboot into Safe Mode

Uninstall the Oculus PC app using the Control Panel

Delete all Oculus folders from the following folder:

Note: The AppData folder is usually hidden. Use these steps to access AppData.
Press Windows key + R to launch the Run dialog window.
Type %AppData% in the Run box and click OK or press Enter.
File Explorer will launch to the AppData\Roaming subfolder.
Click AppData in the File Explorer address bar to show all three subfolders in the AppData location.
Restart your computer in normal mode.
Reconnect your computer to the internet.
Install the Oculus PC app again using the setup tool from our website here.
Toggle on Air Link and re-test the headset.

In terms of gameplay, it runs every vr game I throw at it smoothly (except ITR2 which gets 36 fps but is playable).
Even with a link cable I still have a loading screen bug that can be somewhat easily fixed by cancelling the process of pairing a new headset via link cable whilst the 3 dots are loading on my quest 2.
Gameplay is fine, the only issue I have is that meta blatantly lied to me when they said my card wasn’t supported, the simple explanation is that now it says all 20 series are supported except the 2050, but I recall that before they said my card wasn’t supported via the forums, the site said all 20 series cards were supported with no exclusions.
I just find it weird that they support the gtx 1650 super (which the Rtx 2050 is slightly better than) but they "apparently" don’t support the 2050.
This warning message is still there saying my gpu isn’t supported, but overall my vr experience has been good with a link cable.
Pro tip, don’t EVER buy the meta quest link official cable for any reason. Other very trusted third party brands like kiwi design sell the one I got for 20$, and it slows down the power consumption while using the cable significantly, or if you use the charging version (which needs you to plug the charger into a wall, and into a port on the cable), it charges the headset too.
so TLDR, get a third party cable from kiwi design or another popular brand, much cheaper and better.
