is there a fix other than getting a new one for permanent black screen and permanent tracking loss?
so i was playing echo vr today, totally fine, then i go shower, and then come back to my quest constantly losing tracking and freezing the screen...i kept doing hard resets and finally did a factory reset which only resulted in my quest going black when i turn it on...all i see is the oculus symbol, then a lit black screen, sometimes the 3 dot loading comes out, my sensor doesnt work as well either...this actually all happened when i tried to "record video" on the melody vr app for the whiz khalifa concert which froze my screen for like a second...it says i cant but i stubbornly tried 2 more times, which ended up losing my tracking after a minute after the screen recovering....now i know DAMN well this isnt my fault or an issue on my end...never have i dropped the quest sat or any damage other than my own sweat for the 6 months i have had it...i now know that oculus support is terrible and doesnt care as much as they should, but im worrying that ill never get to use my quest unless i buy a new one, which is never in stock, and for only 6months of use spending 436 dollars is not worth it, especially when oculus doesnt have a promise that the issues are resolved tbh it seems like the graphics chip burned out or something over one of the games or the attempt to record something that isnt allowed, its like they are throwing too many experiments without testing, and once you use it it starts screwing with your quest, i used multitask browser 2 days ago and turned it off because i felt like it lagged more, maybe that could be an issue idk...but if i do ever get a new quest, im never using the experimental functions or using the record function for these shows, SCREW THAT
Rift S is the only PC headset that has issues with black / static screens and loss of tracking.
I have an original Oculus Rift CV1 and I purchased the Rift S which worked great until Oculus updated. Now I’m having the same issues as a lot of other people in the forums. The interesting thing is that once I hooked up my original Oculus Rift with three sensors, the issues are gone completely. I have full tracking, no black screens or white static. So if you’ve been on the fence about hooking up your old Rift “if you still have it” I’d do that to continue playing until everything is sorted through a software update on the S. I am in original CV1 early adopter and I remember for two years there were issues with everything from stutters to tracking issues which Oculus never owned up to. From what I’m hearing from many forum posts they are at it again with excuses and false troubleshooting tactics. God I hope this will not be a repeat of that 2 year fiasco. Very disappointed because it worked flawlessly until the Oculus update. #FACEPALM
