Hi,
My rift S used to work fine until a couple of months ago. Now I have to unplug and plug it in again every startup (?!) to make the usb work.
I have now bought a pcie USB 3.1 5V3A card and plugged the rift s into this new powered usb port.
But the rift s still says usb connection is not working, and I have to unplug the cables and plug them back in EVERY TIME I start up my computer.
I do not believe this is what oculus said we would have to do when we bought their hardware? And the chance of breaking a usb/display port/cable by doing this is very high now and completely oculus' fault if this does happen.
I have installed the latest oculus drivers.
When I first bought and used the rift s I did not have an issue. It is, therefore, one of their updates that has caused this and is a very serious problem. There are many who have this issue on the forums.
Is there a fix out? I am definitely not going to recommend or consider buying from oculus in the future if this is how they update their hardware.
Comments
I decided to delete and uninstall the generic usb drivers and most of the other usbs in device manager.
On restart my computer opened oculus and recognised both usb and displayport as connected. (You would think this has solved the issue?) Oculus starts factory setting up my device with guardian. On ending guardian setup, the oculus dashboard in vr appears with a notification that the usb isn't working! But I still have access to the dashboard and can use the oculus and play games normally.
On restart oculus still says that the usb isn't working but, in fact, I can now use my headset without unplugging and plugging back in the cables.
Very strange and fundamental bug that I hope oculus fix as it is destroying people's enjoyment of using the headset. I have seen quest owners with a similar bug, too.
Update 2:
After another restart back to having to unplug and plug back in.
Weird problem any oculus staff out there?
