Oculus Home:

  • You can now rename your Homes! In the details page for any of your own Homes, there is now an edit icon next to the Home name that will bring up a VR keyboard. Express yourself with a brand new Home name that will be reflected in recommendations, gateways, and friends' Places lists.
  • We've made it easier to manage items. You can now easily relocate items directly from the inventory menu to move or reposition them. We've also reduced download sizes for faster item delivery.
  • We've polished up the presentation of Homes in our menus to be much faster and more intuitive.

Rift S:

  • Updated audio driver to improve Rift S audio quality.

Thank you! 

And just so ppl don't freak out like I did, you'll be prompted for 2 firmware updates.  It'll update your headset first, then prompt you to update the firmware of your controllers.

It did not resolve my issue despite the new drivers and firmware installing. The headset still does not pass sensors check in setup. It only worked 5 minutes the first time I plugged it into the PC, then never recovered. Tested on two PCs with fresh Windows installs. 8 days without resolution now.

Update done. I went to Beat Saber the sound is better. Not a HQ Hi-Fi, just a mobile phone speaker fine. After one game I went to play Onward. During the start I got a blackscreen super fast. The loud sounds still make blackscreens.

Steam or Oculus home games?
I think to help with trouble shooting, we need to specify which store we're tryign to play from that's giving us issues.

For me, I still have some occasional isses with STEAMVR games crashing on my S.  I'm guessing this will be addressed with a STEAM update.

Thank you but I think the problem is the loud sounds. For example if I use headphone in Contractors I don't have any problem. But if I use the in strap audio and I shoot my loud pistol baang black screen.
I met this problem many other games like Knockout Leage (if you hit somebody, the loud sound kill the headset) etc.

But answering your question: SteamVR version 😄
