Ok Quest 2 users let's unite and list our settings/specs etc

I bought several weeks ago a Oculus Quest 2 with a lot of expectancy. Unfortunately, since today I will be unable to make the VR works reasonable good. I’ve tried too many configurations, no one was good enough, Also I bought a new video card, no was the solution. I’m losing the battle and considering go back to 2D. The last frontier will be the next update for April 13th, or may be DX12. All this VR stuff was very frustrating

I shared my settings in another post. May help those that just want to fly for a while till future updates give us back some head room to do more.

I don’t know whether it is placebo effect of not, but one thing that stuck out here is even though you have asw to off, going in to ott or debug and changing to another setting when flying and back to asw off appears to show improvement.

Thank you for this tip.

@MEWSIK what is the exact process? can you elaborate? like restart the headset or something?

Picked up a Quest 2 last week, have been using FS2020 in VR over wireless Virtual Desktop which has been working pretty well, very solid 30-35fps on Medium settings @ 80% scale @ 90hz/130mbit bandwidth.
My Link cable arrived today, and getting nothing but issues (glitchy, jittery) compared to wireless - seems to only be in FS2020. I have yet to try HL Alyx with it, although there seems to a bug with the beta where SteamVR only works in 72hz even though in the Oculus Device settings it’s set to 90hz
Is Oculus Link still an issue?

My specs:
Oculus Quest 2 running Public Beta
OpenXR Mode: SteamVR
i7 8700K @ 4.8GHz
32GB RAM 3200Mhz
GTX1080Ti OC @ 1975/6003Mhz
Samsung 860 NVMe SSD

NV Driver: Tried both 457.30 & the latest - no difference.

OTT is set before you Connect link to the PC.

  1. Start link
  2. Take headset off
  3. Re click all your OTT settings just to make sure they are set
  4. Start flightsim.
  5. Start VR ( before hitting fly now)
  6. Once loaded and in flight head set of, change asw to say 30hz in OTT. The. Change back to off
  7. Put headset on and continue flying.

Yes it’s an issue at the moment.

Thanks for that. Glad to know it’s not me being stupid with something. At least it’s really good over wireless, quite amazing really.

i dont know if anybody else can relate. .

Yesterday i had a flight from washington to atlanta with the tbm. Had the nvidia update before (465.89) and all went well. was quiet satisfied at all, buiseness as usual.
Today i wanted to fly from Leipzig (there is still the bug with the taxiway bridge) to Erfurt and suddenly my quest 2 gives up. rejecting the vr, going to start screen. had now the issue three times and i got nothing changed. cant enclose the problem of course i got no changes in the settings at all. anybody there with similar problem?

3090 / amd 5800 / 32ram

So folks,

after testing monday and yesterday and a coversation with oculus there is an solution.

I had the problem that my quest 2 wont connect to my pc via cable with oculus link. Everytime i hit the oculus link button on my quest 2 there were the three loading signs for an miute or an half and then the quest 2 was going back to the home screen.

Tried to deactivate nvidia overlay, deactivate bullguard security (■■■■ you). Set the quest 2 back to factory settings. Updated all hardware and software to the latest and nothing happend. After contacting oculus support i got this anwser:

Thank you for contacting Oculus Support.

I understand taht you are having an issue connecting your Quest 2 to your PC using Oculus Link. I appreciate you for letting us know you feedback on what you are experiencing as well as providing your log files so that we can review the issue. No worries, I’ll be happy to look into this for you.

After reviewing the log files, I see that there are some updates needed which can cause the issue you are experiencing.

Since your Nvidia Overlay is enabled, kindly disable it by following the steps below:

Click on the System Tray to show hidden icons.

Right-click the Nvidia icon.

Click GeForce Experience.

Click on the Settings icon.

Toggle “In-Game Overlay” to off.

Close the GeForce Experience window.

If you are using Oculus Tray Tool or other third party software that can make modifications to graphics or settings, please uninstall for troubleshooting purposes as these programs can cause conflicts that effect performance and display.

Please disconnect any extra devices connected to the PC leaving only the product hardware, mouse, keyboard and one primary monitor.

The next thing that I would like to ask is to check if Game Mode is enabled on your system. Follow the steps below:

Open the Windows Settings menu

Click on Gaming

Click Game Mode

Toggle Game Mode off if it’s turned on

Furthermore, If you have not tried so already, try to disconnect your Quest 2 from your PC before installing the Oculus app. If the issue still persist, please follow the steps below:

  1. Ensure that you have enough space on your primary drive for the installation.

Even if installing on another drive, the main drive will still need space for the temporary install files. Please reinstall once troubleshooting is completed to keep your system protected, if it is the cause reach out to the developer for further troubleshooting.

  1. Temporarily disable any antivirus software programs.

If this does not resolve the issue, temporarily uninstall the software as it can still cause conflicts even while disabled.

  1. Disable any remote desktop or team viewing software
  2. Create a test Windows user administrator account to rule out a Windows account issue. Please be sure to not include any spaces, special characters or numbers in the username. Install the software on the new account.

If you are trying to install on another system drive, please be sure that you are following the steps to do so from our public support page here.

Once you are able to complete these updates, please let me know the results. If you are still experiencing issues, provide new log files for further review.

If you have any questions or concerns that you want to address, feel free to reach us back.


The first steps i tried before concating occ support. Nvidia overlay was always on, game mode and hardware acc always off for my setup. So this diddnt help. But what helped was an deinstall of Bullguard security and the occulus windows app (after disconecting quest 2 from system^^). Restarted engine. Installed the occulus app and it works now. Therefore i dont know if its the reinstall or the bullguard. Whatever.. I go on a search for another antivirus. Maybe its that.

So in case anybody needs this i leave this here..

RTX3080 mobile, need to lower my computer screen resolution and refresh to get a decent framerate. It has a 300hz display, may be related.
Around 60-70 with medium graphics and 1.4x res, no AA and lots of tweaks I can’t remember.
I have a batch that closes everything in the background, reduces screen resolution, enables VR and reset all after you hit a combo key.
