Both with Rift S? No problem with my cv1

I’m still on CV1.

I've got the system tray thing too.
I wonder if it's related to windows itself (such as version). I'm on windows 10 ver 18362 in an admin account.

Windows 10 1903 here. Build 18362.88

I’m using Windows 10 v1809, admin account.

TomCgcmfc · October 2019

Maybe time to update to 1903 and at least nvidia 430.86.

Mine exits normally.
CV1 + 3 Sensors
Windows 10 1903, Build 18362.388

Excellent update, now some people will start giving constructive criticism instead of complaining about stupid stuff.

Also, I'm a bit late to the party but the "pull-out windows" function now works perfectly on my laptop (since 1.40 or 1.41), I used to get the infamous orange box with an exclamation point, but since it's out of experimental state, it's worked great.
Multiple screens, that's just awesome! Now I can play point&click games on one screen, with another screen for my music player next to me, and some pictures opened in windows around me like posters. I can't wait to have enough horsepower to do all that in Elite:Dangerous.
Thank you Oculus!

I can't wait to try out Oculus Link when it's released (if it lives up to the hype). I really want to update my VR equipment but I don't want to leave the Oculus ecosystem behind, and I don't want the Rift-S either.

I have a Rift S, ever since my Oculus software updated to 1.42 I have been having constant crashing of the Oculus dashboard. I added some new program to my oculus dashboard and have been unable to get my Rift S working even after restarts and reinstalling the Oculus software 1.41 and 1.42

TomCgcmfc · October 2019

Maybe contact Oculus support and start a ticket, including sending them your log files.

ryoeucharist · October 2019

hallo i'm using rift s, after update Firmware my display port cannot detected.

is there a solution here?

Mine also when I close Oculus it just minimizes to the system tray... I have to remember to close with the system tray icon so that it switches back to balanced power mode, otherwise the CPU will be stuck at 5GHz wasting all those precious electrons....

Ha, I just leave my conservatively overclocked i9 9900k (water cooled) at 5Ghz (all cores) with a high performance power plan, dam the expense (probably a few $'s per year)!

The main energy usage comes when playing 3D/VR games/sims which loads up the cpu (and gpu) utalisations and you can see the temps go up (= higher energy demand). My temps never go above 75degC and drop to 30degC very quickly once the games/sims exit and I go back to low usage apps like MS Office and web surfing.

Yeah that has been pretty much my experience as well.

KNP54 · October 2019

Also I noticed also that since the update, my monitors never turns off, wasting all those precious photons this time!

Here's what "powercfg -requests" says:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -requests

DISPLAY:

[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume8\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\OVRServer_x64.exe

VR Active

Even though Oculus Home is not running....

edit: Maybe that's the reason why Oculus Home just minimizes to the system tray? Since OVRServer thinks that VR is always active?

Orkel · October 2019

Static mic bug still happens in 1.42 branch. Random times when talking in social VR my voice (and my friend's with his S) turns into a second of staticy, robotic crackly voice before returning to normal.

Sometimes the voice is permanent instead of just a second - and requires a replugging of the USB to be fixed.

PC hardware is irrelevant, I got it on my old and new PC and my friend got it on his old and new PC, I've read of others also getting this issue both on these forums and on Reddit. This is a software or firmware issue that needs fixing. Might be related to USB bandwidth or be related to the old "static flash" visual bug.

Orkel · October 2019

snip, double post

dburne · October 2019

Well for some strange reason, the behavior of my Oculus Home just minimizing to tray when I would close it, has stopped and now it closes properly for me as of yesterday I think.

Yes same thing here! It now properly closes... Maybe it's the windows 10 update I installed yesterday? Or the fact that the update required a reboot? who knows! But anyways, thanks for saving all those precious electrons and photons!

Orkel · October 2019

Small update on beta branch an hour ago, not sure what changed.

dburne · October 2019

Yeah mine just updated also.

HailHoge · October 2019

dburne · October 2019

Yep, happened to me too. Full reboot and all seems well,

Please fix the download issues ! Downloading is a hassle on oculus store, especially in case of low speed ADSL or 4G. Downloads frequently stop, every 5 minutes or so, and I have to manually restart again, and again... Asgard's Wrath was impossible to download here. No problem on Steam, or others app stores.

Same here. I'm still having this issue with the robotic voice that my friends are hearing from me when playing vr with them. I also hear all sorts cracking and static sound.

From what I can read in the comments here and on reddit, this is affecting many users.

Please, Oculus, work on these issues instead of adding fancy things and nice to have to the home app, and don't ask me to uninstall/reinstall or try different usb ports because I already tried.

I will open a ticket to let them know that I'm affected by these two issues and everyone else having these should do too.

MPires · October 2019

I'm also with the robotic voice when using the mic.

dburne · October 2019

It would be nice if they could fix the mic issues with either firmware or software.
I am having my doubts they can, so using a USB desktop mic. It works at all times, something my Rift S mic will not do.

Orkel · October 2019

Another Beta update, 8 parts.

manxjason · October 2019

Any patch notes?

HailHoge · October 2019

thank you for update.
displayport is not working 1.42.0.309426.
displayport stay connected 10sec. but disconnected after 10sec.
depending on the USB port, the time may stay connected 5sec.
i got both logs and sent.

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/rift-s-displayport-issue.18866216

he has same issues. and he has ticket too.

It seems that he investigating in more detail than me. his ticket may be useful.

what is interesting in his case is that it worked properly with Rift (not Rift S).

dburne · October 2019

Yay, this update seems to have fixed my no audio message with red x I was getting in Oculus Home. Using a USB mic and have mic in Rift S disabled. Showing all green now, thanks for that Oculus!
Hoping it stays that way anyway.

Edit: Also of note this morning I was working on some cable management and had unplugged both the Rift S display port and usb for a brief amount of time, so don't know if that had anything to do with it, or if was this latest update.
