Link cable Screen tearing/pixelated horizontal lines
I wanted to share my experience in case someone else runs into the same issue. Ever since I upgraded to my new 9070 XT, I’ve been having serious problems using my Oculus Quest 3S with the Link Cable. The headset connects normally and everything runs smoothly for the first 10 minutes or so, but then heavy visual artifacts start appearing inside the headset: horizontal pixel lines with wrong colors or stuck frames start appearing and it quickly becomes completely unplayable. If I unplug and replug the Link Cable, it starts working again, but only for another 10 minutes before the issue comes back. I spent over a week in contact with Meta Support, both through WhatsApp and email, working with their specialists to try every possible fix. We went through basically everything: uninstalling and reinstalling GPU drivers, using DDU, cleaning the system, changing cables, switching USB ports (all 3.0 or better) and even doing a full Windows reinstall. Unfortunately, nothing worked. In the end, since they couldn’t solve the problem, they added some credit to my Oculus account as a small compensation, which I appreciated, but it obviously doesn’t fix the issue. The problem disappears completely if I swap my GPU back to my old Nvidia RTX 2060, the Quest 3S works perfectly fine with that one. So this seems to be an AMD-side issue. My specs: CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X RAM: 32GB DDR4 GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT MB: Asus Rog Strix B550-F Gaming (wifi) I’ve already contacted AMD support as well, but they haven’t been able to give me a clear answer so far. I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, i also found this thread with the exact same symptoms and these reddit posts with similar issues (1, 2, 3) At this point, I just wanted to share this so other people are aware this might happen. If anyone else with a Radeon 9000-series card has seen something similar, I’d really like to hear about your experience.
Wired Link Issue v81.1034 been happening since v79 and v76
Ever since the v76 or v79 updates my link cable hasn't been registered on my headset causing PCVR issues my cable isn't broken but it rejecting connections to PCVR I use my headset only for PCVR and ever since the these updates came out its been causing major issues to PCVR in general the PCVR programs that I use keep rejecting the connection after a couple of minutes causing major issues with my PCVR experience. I tried a random USB cable and it has the same issue so I know its the port on the Quest and not my cable's I'm on current v81.1034 and this has been an issue on my quest for a while now. You guys need to fix the Cable connection on the cable it needs to be fixed because PCVR on Wi-Fi is super buggy and I want this Fixed
Issue with link
When I use my cable to play pcvr, after 20 or so minutes i get this glitchy lines on my headset. You can't see it on the game. The lines stay on my screen and make everything look blurry. It goes away when I replug in the headset. I have tried another link cable, and the issue persists.
V81.1034 latest release now detecting usb 3 as usb2
So, having updated to 5131230.22000.520 on 29th Oct, I noticed performance was slow - noticable lag connecting over the link cable. Previous build was fine. I then ran a usb test and it appears its now detecting my USB 3 connection as USB 2 and in the link software I know have an exclamation mark telling me to try USB 3. Its telling me my link speed is 340meg. So i wonder if some regression has crept in the release and now we are missing USB 3 support. Note my pc is AMD chipset based. Nothing else has changed on PC. Meta really do need to do a far better job of testing against pc's !!! its not the first time we've had major issues.
Wired Link Completely Broken
After the recent v.81 update my Quest 2 headset has become fully paperweight due to the meta PCVR-LINK issues. I use my headset only for PCVR and ever since the latest update came out my headset gets recognized by the app and all but whenever i press to connect my link in the quest 2 pop up it just gets stuck on the Meta loading screen with the 3 dots but i hear the audio from my pc. It has NEVER been like this, whatever you guys did with the update rollout you clearlt havent tested it enough or you're forcing people to buy your newest equipment for the money. Its been nearly 10 days since this bug happened for me and numerous other people across Reddit, Discord, even on this website here. ISSUE A HOTFIX AND PATCH THIS.
Meta Quest Link completely broke on the latest V81 System update.
Hello, my Quest 2 updated today to v81. Since the update, every time i try to run the Link software it boots me out of it, back to the Immersive Home. EVERY TIME. I did a COMPLETE reinstall of Quest Link too, two times! And it just refuses to work! Yesterday I was playing fine, what is the problem?
Issue Linking Meta Quest 3 via Cable or Air Link
My Meta Quest 3 was working perfectly until last Friday. Now, I am unable to establish a connection using either the cable or Air Link. I am currently running the latest version of Meta Quest Link: 81.0.0.828.254. The error message (in Portuguese) says something like: "Critical error: It is not possible to update the link. Please restart your computer or contact support." Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? Thank you in advance.
