All of these features and enhancements will become available throughout the week of February 24, 2020.
Oculus Link- The Quest microphone has been re-enabled for use with Link.
- A dedicated Oculus Link button has been added to the Oculus Quest menu bar to make jumping into Link quicker and easier. Similarly, a button was added to the Dash belt that allows you to quickly exit Link when using it.
- Link audio and microphone volume controls have been added to Dash and the Oculus desktop app.
- Moving forward, Oculus Link no longer requires that the Quest software and the PC software have matching version numbers. However, the two software versions must be within one version of the other. For example, Link will function when the Quest is on software version 14 and the PC is software version 15 or the PC software is version 14 and the Quest software is version 13. It will not work if Quest is on version 13 and PC is on version 15 or vice versa.
Miscellaneous- Fixed a bug that prevented Oculus Link from working when the resolution had been adjusted with the Oculus Debug Tool.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented Oculus Link from launching when the Link cable was disconnected and reconnected after ending a previous Link session.
- Additional bug fixes and stability improvements

Oculus Support asked me to check this, but it'll take hours to download v14 etc using my slow connection, sigh...

I do not use the room, but with each update I have to download the extra 10 gigabytes!(((((((((((((((((((((((

Throughout each version change my Rift S has been working beautifully.
Not to take anything away from those users who are experiencing issues as I am sure it is very frustrating, just to say it may not be quite as widespread as it might seem.

That said, Link has the potential to be great, so I'm glad that they're focusing on that for now. The problem is we've been hanging on for way too long on the PCVR side. It's retarded that they didn't work on a performance mode that allows to run VR apps with the absolute minimum.
My hopes for VR next gen:
- Full Body Tracking. Come on, Oculus!
- Eye tracking with foveated rendering. Must reduce the power needs!
- More big-scale games. I need a true VRMMORPG!
- Bigger community.

First of all I think that Oculus has done a very good job improving pcvr over the past couple of years. For me (Rift cv1) up until ~1.38/1.39 I think that the performance/features improved quite a bit and the platform was very stable. Once v12 software was introduced it's been downhill.
I blame their need to make the Quest Link (which is still in beta btw) work at all costs. Very silly imho and Oculus should have just kept separate software app for Rift (S and cv1) and the Quest Link. At least until the Quest Link was stable and out of Beta.
As far as making pcvr work on the lowest PC specs possible by providing a performance mode that's just about the worse thing to do because it will do nothing but induce motion sickness and poor visual results. If you want good pcvr then you need a good pcvr PC (even with the Quest Link). WMR already has a low 60fps performance mode that you can even run with an integrated cpu. Try it and I assure you will not like it (I tried this a long time ago btw).
Anyway, just my $0.02 worth. I still have not got the v14 update but I suspect it isn't going to float my boat, lol!

Since I am one of the ones effected I am obviously not a big fan of Oculus anymore and the frequent updates for Quest or for silly additions (avatar features, etc..) are frustrating when they continue to ignore such a huge problem that renders our product useless.
