Just a PSA for anyone with a Quest 3. I was having strange crashing issues lately when flying in VR. Seemed isolated to DCS and it was relatively random. Game would randomly crash, sound would continue, but video would freeze both in the headset and the screen and all keyboard inputs would appear ineffective. Only recourse was to reboot.
Long story short, I swapped Q3 link cables (from an Oculus cable to a generic USB to 90 degree USB-C I had bought a while back) and problem solved. Amazing how much difference the cable can make if you’re not using AirLink.

Hey 
I’m well, busy as ever but got a new job which I’m liking so far, which is nice!
How’s things with you?
To be clear, I haven’t bought the Q3 yet, but I am fairly well decided that I’ll get it. There’s the thread about the upcoming Steam alternative, but I’m kind of thinking that this side of Xmas would be nice…

well.. public service anouncement..
Today my quest 3 absolutely refused to do anything with Link. It was just showing the Meta logo ad infinitum. Trying to be sneaky and launching DCS anyway got me the game sounds but nothing else. I then went into an AI deep dive.. They made me do a lot but nothing worked. Fortunately there is something better for troubleshooting than AI, it’s a certain type of person called a redditor. It turns out that the easy solution is to have the internet unplugged when you start up the link and the bit more difficult solution is to have outbound rules for your firewall blocking outbound traffic for the meta app.

Fortunately, no Steam frames for sale today.

That reddit link is blocked for me, maybe VPN related?
Anyhoo,I only read this a couple of days ago. Although it is about Meta Horizon Services, I wonder if it could be related?
In any case, knowing Zuck’s track record for continuing to support ‘stuff’ that he loses interest in (i.e. money), A Quest 3 has just dropped to the bottom of the list as a replacement for my G2.

It says to block this file from having Internet access and you are good to go.
