Quest Link loads infinitely (black screen, 3 dots)

I saw that someone else was having a similar problem, and a lot of people were also having that problem.

Most of them solved by disabling an integrated GPU or updating their drivers.

I don't have an integrated GPU, and, as of two minutes ago, Windows and my AMD drivers are all up to date.

I tried to get help from Steam Support (because I was trying to use SteamVR), but I don't think steam was the problem.

(using a quest 2 and this for connecting to PC. )

I've uninstalled, reinstalled and repaired the Meta Quest PC app multiple times.

Please let me know what I should try.

thanks 🙂

This is the only "error" popup I've had, apart from "PC disconnected" which isn't really an error...This is the only "error" popup I've had, apart from "PC disconnected" which isn't really an error...

  • Has the device ever worked before?

The headset works on its own very well, just not with link.

  • When did you first notice this behavior?

I've been trying to make it work with link since October 1st of last year (I got the headset a day before).

  • Have you checked if your PC is compatible?

Yes... but I did notice the note about the Radeon 6500.... which I'm using. Is that why it isn't working?

  • Does the headset work when not connected to a PC?

My headset works perfectly fine (when not attempting to use link).  It even works while connected, I've used the remote display even and it works fine.

  • Are you  connecting their USB cable to a USB 3 port?

Yes.

Have the exact same problem, worked fine until the last update.

I connect the Quest 3, gets detected by the Meta Quest Link app, on the headset make quest link via cable, the screen goes black with 3 dots and the Meta logo, stays there doesn't load.

if i force close the app the PC App says the headset is low battery. no matter what the % is. its always like this.

Sometimes I get the low battery notification while the app is still open.
