hi, i experienced something interesting today.
i played damaged core for 2 hours, i noticed a slight stutter if i lean to the right. but not everytime i cant trigger it it happend randomly.
i changed the usb slot because i looked into the oculus home settings/ devices it showed me my hmd is on a usb 2.0 . ive got a pretty new mainboard a z170 and i got only usb 3,0 ports on the back. because of this i changed the usb port and then it showed me im in a usb 3.0 port, so far so good i thought. i noticed the last week some stutter but i thought its the graphiks driver or something... but it was not really bad. now with this game what got much head movement it annoied me and i noticed the bug. i changed the hmd usb cable back to the old port, now it shows me usb 2.0 again, but it work perfect, like it should. greez

I know on my Z77 board I can turn off legacy mode on usb3 ports which as you would guess makes them usb3 only.

May be worth a shot but could cause other problems if using usb 2 devices on your usb3 ports.

Yeah this is happening too on for my sensor, it's in a 3.0 slot but tells me it's a 2.0, it works fine and all but seeing that error symbol just bugs me

Same for me on an Asus Crosshair formula Z mainboard.

Total coincidence, I had that seen today on my Asus Z87 Pro board. (2nd day I even own the Rift). The sensor was shown as "USB2.0". It was likely an issue with the plug not making proper contact and standing out a little since the i/O plate of the board is a little bent. So I re-plugged it and now it says 3.0. Will try with bios settings as well.
edit: I cannot exclude a software/driver problem of course. It may well be that for some reason upon init a port switched to USB2.0 mode, for whatever reason.

Maybe it's a power thing? Try external USB 3 hub with external power supply to see what happens.
