Greetings, @skrannerz! We hope you're having a great day today! Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We know it's no fun to not be able to use our devices to their full capacity so we would love to help getting this issue resolved for you. Just to ensure we are on the same page, the black screen issue you are experiencing happens on your desktop is that correct? If so here are a few steps to fix this problem.

 

  1. Go to Windows Settings > System  > Display > Graphics Settings
     
  2. Click Graphics performance preference
     
  3. Click Choose an app to set preference > Desktop app
     
  4. Locate your OVRServer_x64.exe. By default, this will be located as follows: C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\OVRServer_x64.exe
  5. Click Add
     
  6. Set this to Power Saving then close the settings menu and click Save
    • If this does not work or is already the setting selected, Performance Mode can be tried instead
       
  7. Reset the computer and test VR Desktop

i have problem is assetto corsa, i tried backrolling update and didnt work, then uninstalled the app now it wont let me open on the page to redownload, and if i do i have connection error when setting up

Hey @skrannerz! Thanks for the swift response, and providing that clarification for us. Luckily, we do have a couple of troubleshooting steps that you can try to get pass the connection error. If you haven't already please verify the following has been attempted:

  1. Restart the device
  2. Try another application to check if the connection issue is related to the Oculus app only
  3. Try another connection type (ethernet or Wi-Fi)
  4. Try checking the settings of the Antivirus software for options to whitelist or add Oculus as a trusted program.
    1. Adding the Oculus application to the antivirus software’s whitelist or trusted list should help resolve slow down or issues accessing content without compromising the user’s system integrity.
    2. Please provide this public article for additional information on antivirus software.
  5. Try a different network; one with no restrictions.
    1. Trying another network without a proxy can help resolve any slowdown that occurs when routing internet traffic through another network.
  6. Try troubleshooting network Wi-Fi issues with RouteThis Helps

We hope to hear from you soon. Have an extraordinary rest of your day!
