White Static Flashes in Rift S

Hello all,

Wanted to post this in the forums to see of anyone else is having a similar issue, in hopes that I'm not the only one or perhaps someone has already contacted Oculus to see if it's a software issue or not.

I'm having intermittent white (kind of like static) flashes every now and then. They're completely at random and happen in Oculus home and all the VR games I've tried with it (Marvel Powers United, Onward, Blade and Sorcery, Beat Saber)

Any info (other than "I'm not having any issues at all") is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well the jury is still out on whether or not I will get a refund. We will see what she replies with. I will keep you posted.

@"philippe.heroux.58" - any updates on your situation?


The support rep was able to make an exception for me she said. I will be able to get a refund afterall. I'm in the process of packaging everything and sending it back. Careful not to go over 30 days if you plan to get a refund. This is not their standard process.


That is great news! I'm happy they're not giving you a hard time. I will let you know if and when my static flashes are resolved. So sorry you had to go through all that troubleshooting.

Anyone tried update that just came out few hours ago?
It's a software update, no new firmware included, but nevertheless.

 Well, that was a first for me - I'm on a public test channel and I got no flashes yesterday after the update.
That said I only played for an hour; we'll see if that was just a fluke tonight.

Please post any changes also if that's the case I was wrong about cable length.
I really hope this is solved
Thanks and Good Luck
