Quest 2 Disconnecting During iRacing + Link Cable Connection Issues
Hi, Quest 2 user here. I primarily use the headset for iRacing and connect it to my PC using a USB 3.0 Link cable. Like many others, I’ve been running into problems with the headset suddenly disconnecting mid-session. The HMD screen goes black, then returns to the VR Homes. iRacing continues running on the PC just fine, but once this happens, I can’t rejoin the race.
Interestingly, the Meta app on my PC still shows the Quest as connected when this occurs. However, the only way to get it working again is to physically disconnect and reconnect the Link cable. Only then I can put the VR back on and reconnect to the PC via Link.
I’m not sure if it’s related, but, I’ve been having trouble even getting the headset to connect to the PC in the first place. Often, I have to disconnect and reconnect the Link cable 2–4 times before it finally links. Sometimes it gets stuck on the Meta loading screen with the three dots indefinitely, and other times it just reverts back to the VR Home screen.
As for troubleshooting, I’ve already replaced the Link cable three times—even though all of them passed the connection test in the Meta PC app at over 2.5 Gbps. I’ve tried every USB port on my PC, used a powered USB hub, and even uninstalled and reinstalled the Meta PC app. None of these have resolved the issue.
Would appreciate any help or suggestions—this has been really frustrating, especially during races. At this point it is starting to become a desk weight because I don’t trust that it will last a 20min practice session. I need to to run realizable for hours or I’m going to go back to monitors
