HOW do I get around this? Windows 10. Geforce 980Ti card. Never ends. Always has issues updating itself. Gets stuck in a loop. I have had to keep my windows firewall down to make this work historically annoying but this last time (and now) Im simpply stuck and it won't update as it constantly tries, fails, tries, fails.... WHAT GIVES??? This is supposed to be a REAL product distributed for normal use. Why is it so weird with a "normal" OS, windows 10, and a normal card to get it to work? Any advice on how to get it to update?
If for some reason you can't imagine a never ending prompt to update your oculus rift then by all means watch this screencast 🙂 https://vimeo.com/216431579
There is no reason a consumer device should have problems updating properly and this happens routinely. Extremely dissapointed in how Oculus continues to handle this
Something on your computer causing this or everybody would have this problem. I suspect a firewall setting since you said that turning your firewall off in the past got it to work. Maybe some other security software on your PC causing this or a corruption on the PC.
Have you tried doing the whole Oculus setup again from scratch?
I think that's the only thing you can do to eliminate it been a corrupt setup. Come back if that doesn't work and we'll see if we can help further. Do let use know if it works though. Cheers!
That's not normal. It could be a corrupted install. Try downloading the setup again and running a repair install. That will usually fix it. https://www3.oculus.com/en-us/setup/
uninstall and reinstall have it running now so thank you for the link to reinstall. Only pain I guess is now having to redownload 120 gigs of games... BUT it's working and hopefully will update in the future. 🙂 Thank you
I know this is really old but I had the same issue and finally realized it was because I had moved the support folder from my ssd to my standard drive because of the size and used mklink to make a hard link. This worked fine for the games but was causing the upgrade to fail. Once I moved it back the install was successful.
