v46 frame drops/stutters/headroom dips

Edit: For anyone stopping by looking for a solution, there isn't going to be one. This issue is falling on deaf ears by meta staff. The issues described exist both in standalone and pcvr link/airlink. It seems to be widespread, possibly most or all quest 2 devices, yet it's been relayed that it's only a small subset of users experiencing the issue... sure. That's definitely why we can totally troubleshoot and fix it /s

The only remedy is going to be through an update issued by meta. I/You/We have done all the troubleshooting and bug hunting possible, all signs point to them. Good luck everyone!

...

Frame drops, reprojection (even with ASW set to Off), stuttering, performance degradation, and gpu headroom dipping to 0 or even negative has been since v44, and now v46 as well. I have come across this issue in many different posts here in the meta forums, elsewhere as well, and no one has come to any conclusions other than this HAS to be an issue with oculus software itself. Witnessing OVR errors and socket errors amongst others in the console logs and no previous fix is capable of providing any remedy to the current issue. I have tried all previous working drivers from nvidia, uninstalling with DDU and reinstalling old to new. No change. HAGS set to off, clean installed oculus based off of official support techniques (safe mode and manual folder deletion), toggled and focused console window, set high priority on ovrserverx64 and game running, disabled link sharpening, disabled mobile ASW, reset all graphic settings to default, set vsync to off in nvidia control panel, reset nvidia control panel, nothing. These issues stem directly from the oculus software and there's no chance of user error. For those hoping to chime in about windows update breaking the software, that is also untrue. I have now tried windows 10 on updates 20h1, 20h2, 21h1, 21h2, and 22h2 and this issue is present across all of them. I also tried on windows 11 builds 21h2 and 22h2 and the same issue persists. We desperately need a community update from @Ryanality as i know im not the first to raise this issue. I wish i could say it was just user error, machine setup etc. There are multiple internal errors displayed in the console window and i've submitted these logs with the support team as have the others experiencing this issue. It would be great if we could PLEASE get a public update regarding this issue. I have been troubleshooting this for several weeks straight.. i'm going absolutely mad. PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basic troubleshooting, clean installs, NONE OF IT WORKS! 2 years of using this headset and software...and this is the worst its been by far! 😧

What does a cloud storage synchronization app has to do with encoding?

I was finally ready to spend time with PCVR. I had received and put together everything I needed to have a great VR experience, minus a mat that is supposed to arrive Friday. I've got magnetic prescription lenses, facial interfaces, a pulley system with an extension cable, knuckle-straps, head-straps, booty straps (okay, no booty straps). But first I wanted to optimize my PC to make sure I would get the best first impressions of games like HL:A, and get immersed and then probably lost in my first playthrough of Skyrim (and completely decked out with mods). I would say it's unfortunate to have found this thread AFTER exhausting all my options, but I would have exhausted them all regardless. And I did. I wasn't having a good experience with every in-game and out-of-game setting at the lowest possible, so I tried a ton of suggestions I found online. They've all been listed at some point in this thread. It's exactly like you and Fatal88 describe, down to the exact fluctuations in encoded frames per second. On the plus side, with this issue being the last standing, my PC's VR performance has become immaculate otherwise, which is to say that if they fix this last issue, I might just have a smooth experience lasting more than 5-10 seconds (my CPU and GPU frame-times are like a nice spaghetti and meatball right now).

I haven't tried Air Link, but it's obvious that I shouldn't waste my time on it. I don't think there is anything left worth trying. I even bought the overpriced Oculus Link cable to see if my Anker cable is the issue. I'll be getting my $80 back the next time I go out. 

It sucks: I only just got my pulley system (the dangler) Monday. I started optimizing performance all the way back on Friday. I tried the dangler even with the issue and thankfully it's everything I hoped it would be. But now I have this great setup for a thing that doesn't even work XD  Will my PSVR 2 work next year on PC before my Quest 2 does? XD for real though. With no update on the situation in 3 weeks (can't believe this issue has lasted even longer for some that have reported it), we're completely left in the dark about how seriously the issue is being taken and how long until we can use the functionality a lot of us had in mind when we bought in to the dream. We have no idea when it will work again. I honestly can't help but laugh out loud at how absurd it is. At least I can laugh about it. An issue like this can't be fixed soon enough and I feel for everyone like me who spent hours figuring out that there is nothing we can do to fix a core feature we paid for.

So I take it v47 has not resolved this issue?

No, random application framedrops still here.

I've been having the same experience with Quest 2 in sim racing titles since v46.

Specs:

  • Ryzen 5800X
  • RTX 3080
  • 32GB 3600mhz memory

Absolutely perfect and smooth prior to v46, now the stutter/judder is pretty much unbearable.

The amount of troubleshooting I've been doing has driven me insane. I actually got VR sick for the first time today.

Meta, please fix this. My quest 2 is essentially a paperweight until you do.
