Oculus Link dropping out

Hi,

my Rift S works perfectly with MFS but my Quest 1 & 2 drop out of Link connection all the time - big hassle…

using official Oculus USBC cable & also have ALogic cable,

both cables test at between 2 & 3 Gbps connection,

whenever return to MFS Main Menu - the Link connection drops out (also sporadically in flights)…

any ideas or help?

cheers

Sorry if this partly off topic, but do you think Virtual Desktop might work better? Is Virtual Desktop more stable than the link cable in general, or is the wifi setup a whole new can of worms? I’ve been watching from the sidelines and thinking about getting a Quest 2, but posts like this make me really squeamish, especially after I got a bad G2.

My link would drop out because the cable was worn and even the smallest cross movement and the link dropped,took a while to find it as you always look for the most complex issue when sometimes it’s a basic problem,new cable and solved

Hello,
got exactly same issue since sim update 3, back to menu=disconnected.
And happens sometimes during flight (a week ago it was impossible to play).

I am sure it is not the cable, because it happens only with FS2020.

I noticed something though, in rogue squadron, pushing all render cursors to 200% (unplayable !) leads to same issue. So I imagine it is a problem of datarate (sorry don’t know if it’s the right term).

I pushed a ticket with oculus support for this.

yeah,

get good results with Link a lot of the time - a faulty cable would simply not work at all,

& i’m putting 2 different cables to the test,

have also pushed a ticket to Oculus support…

I get this from time to time. Simply reboot the headset and it sorts it.

If you have a Ryzen based system, this might be the reason.

Yes, my link cable drops when I go back to main menu. Whenever I use Virtual Desktop this does NOT happen.

Would love to see if this has been solved by anyone , having the same issue, either when trying to start vr or when exiting it seems that link drops out and I’m sent back to the main screen until it asks if I would like to connect to my PC again, do this a few times until it works, If I use the steam runtime this doesn’t happen but the game seems to run differently

FWIW - I was getting disconnects but they were random and not tied to going to to a menu and it wasn’t just FS it was racing sims as well. That said, I have solved the issue by going with a powered USB hub. Of course I had to buy a USB A to C adapter as well in order to plug into the hub.

I have the official Oculus cable and it “was” plugged into a USB C port in the back of my GPU. Did some research and found that that could lead to intermitent power flow which could cause the disconnects. The powered hub also keeps the Quest 2 fully charged when playing which is really nice.

I’ve had ZERO disconnects since using the powered hub since I bought it 3 weeks ago.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

which adapter did you get, please?

i think you are correct that power delivery is key for the Link to work properly…

Mine is fine plugged straight into usb

But I guess every pc different mine is all new components z490 mobo

Thank you!

Although using PCIE GEN3 sometimes my USB port just got disconnected (ASUS X570)… sometimes the joystick, sometimes the BT USB dongle…

Trying the new Asus BIOS and now it’s working again (PCIGEN4 in Auto), no disconnection so far!
