Oculus + Air Link causes computer crashes when the headset disconnects from WiFi.
As usual, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the issue originates due to all the handoffs between apps. My Quest 2 is connected via Air Link through the Oculus App, to SteamVR, which is then running VR in Unreal's editor. If the connection is active and the headset is awake, I can successfully run in editor as many times as I want. If the connection is not active (only SteamVR is open, Oculus is closed and not set up), Unreal will successfully fall back to a spectator pawn. If the connection is active but the headset has disconnected, my computer will freak out and eventually crash whenever I interact with VR. So far, those crash events occur when I open Unreal (which presumably makes contact with the VR setup) and when I hit that Play in VR button in the editor (as when the headset's fallen asleep between uses). As soon as one of these actions is initiated, I hear cable whine from my PC--the only time I've found that it does this--and I have a very short time to catch it before the mouse freezes, the screen stops, and the computer needs to be restarted. If I'm able to get my headset on, dismiss the lost connection dialogue, and reconnect to my PC over Air Link, it has a decent chance at recovering. I think I've had this happen with Unreal closed, though the above is my primary observations so far. SteamVR has been opening and closing for ages and never caused this on my computer. I previously used VirtualDesktop for this and also never had issues there, though this was largely before my current PC was built so that's not a clear indicator. The computer itself is very new and, on paper, shouldn't be a problem. GPU - 3080 Ti CPU - 5950x RAM - 64gb2.2KViews1like1CommentPlease skip Guardian check when Guardian is disabled on Quest 2
I appreciate the developer feature of disabling Guardian, which saves us time. Thank you. I'd like to report a serious bug in the latest Quest 2 firmware update that wastes developers' time. A simple 2 steps to reproduce it: 1) Settings > System > Developer > Disable Guardian. 2) Long press the power button > Restart Quest 2 will then get stuck in black after the Meta logo disappears, and the only way for a developer to get out of it is to factory reset the device. It appears that Quest 2 got stuck checking Guardian when Guardian was disabled. If so, please make the firmware skip the Guardian check if Guardian is disabled. This will save us lots of time, from developers to developers.4KViews3likes2CommentsDistortion shader freeze one screen of the Quest - Unity
Hi!, we are developing a Quest game using Unity 2019.4 with Built-In Render Pipleline Graphics (not URP) We added a particle effect for an explotion. When we compile and test it... the right screen of the Quest freezes until the particle animation ends. What is happening?
