Quest / Go Build 14.0 Release Notes

Update 3/4/2020: I'm hearing that the v14 software update should now be available to 100% of Quest and Go users. If you encounter any issues downloading or using this update, please contact customer support. Thanks again for your patience during this rollout!

Update 2/28/20:
 Hey everyone - Wanted to jump in here and provide a quick update on rollout progress. Rollout is still ongoing and only available to a percentage of users at this time, which means that if you haven't yet received v14, you should not expect to receive it over the weekend. We’ll continue the rollout next week as we ramp up to all users. Oculus Link should continue to work as normal in the meantime, as long as you have some combination of v13 / v14 software versions on your Quest and the PC software. We greatly appreciate your patience while the team works through this.

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.

Bug Fixes

  • 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 caused a temporary black screen after waking the Quest up from a deep sleep.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented Oculus Link from launching when the Link cable was disconnected and reconnected after ending a previous Link session.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused images to not display on the welcome screen after a headset reboot.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the Voice Command feature from launching via Oculus button double press when the Voice Commands Shortcut experimental feature was enabled.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the floor height to be higher than normal when putting on the headset slowly.
  • Additional bug fixes, stability improvements, and software optimizations.

I've updated my oculus desktop app but I've yet to see an update on the quest. I had an email which states "Updates for the Quest and Go follow the same staggered release model that the desktop software does" 

Does this mean I have to wait for the quest headset to update?

Why don't they release the updates simultaneously?

I have a blue banner stuck at the top of my screen prompting me for an update which isn't even available yet!

Does anyone know when the quest update will be released?



The Quest v14 update is rolling out over the course of this week, but have you tested whether Link works despite the message? It did work with Quest v13 and the PC v14 beta, but that message still showed.

Going forward, Link is supposed to work as long as you are within one version number between Quest and PC (i.e. Quest v14 will work with PC v15, and vice versa), so this shouldn't be an issue for future updates. Hopefully they'll also change the wording of that message or the conditions that trigger it, to avoid causing confusion.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

The link works but it's a little leggy and glitchy if I'm being honest.

My biggest problem is the mic functionality.
 When I installed the V14 update there seemed to be a problem with the audio driver.  So I disabled/enabled it and that now works fine.

But then I tried a few games to test the mic. I tried VR chat. Pavlov and Echo VR. But nobody seemed to be able to hear me.

I'm hoping that when the headset updates that this will solve my problem.

The notes mentioned that some of the fixes won't work until Quest v14 is installed, so I guess the mic fix is one of those. I hadn't yet received v14 on my Quest when I checked this morning, but I'm hoping I'll get the chance to test it tonight.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

I'm not expecting it until tomorrow. Can't see it downloading tonight.

As soon as I grabbed this update both of my controllers started going heywire. Losing tracking repeatedly. Restarting didn't help.


Same issue here. Beat Saber is completely unplayable for me currently. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Headset tracking is at the very least better... but controller tracking is now completely messed up

Does any of you use YUR on the quest? It seems to be fixed for now since I disabled the calories tracking. I hope that stays so. But even if that's the case, on reddit someone who doesn't even have YUR has the same problem: www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/fahejy/the_newest_firmware_update_can_break_your/
