Oculus Link

  • A new button on Dash allows to you quickly exit Oculus Link to go back to the Quest Home screen.
  • Important note: This PTC software is not compatible with the Oculus Link feature on Oculus Quest if your Quest is still on software version v12 or lower. The v13 software update is rolling out to Quest currently, which will enable you to utilize Link on both PC software version v13 and this v14 PTC. We continue to work on improving this experience in future releases. Thanks for your patience!

Seems to be a running issue for numerous people when using the PTC builds.

well i dropped out of the PTC because i couldnt get the mirror to work properly and it put me back to v12 that basicly brought back all the stutters and low performance issues, so i came back after this recent update and the mirror is still dodgy and the virtual desktop is all i can say is shocking whatever you have done to that

Someone on reddit posted that you have to rename Oculus Virtual Audio Device to "Headphones" and it will fix the issue. Silliest bug ever.

[EDIT]
Didn't notice @guenter.huber22 posted a link. Follow it for the fix 🙂
The advent of computers and the subsequent accumulation of incalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought, parallel to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.

OK, my link seems to be working now, something must have happened overnight... BUT when I try and play War Thunder or DCS, anything of that nature, I get these insane freeze ups, like the link can't handle the data, freezes about every 10 seconds for a good 2 seconds or more.  Happens at all settings and wasn't an issue before, frame rate was acceptable and it never froze so WTF is going on... 😞
