well i had the 17.0.0.183.462 (17.0.0.183.462) no issues with the usb 3 issue however i was on acc last night on the rift s and after about 39 nibutes i got stutters then 5 minutes before the end of a 60 minute race the view went all messed up like i was just about to go into warp speed, it was like my head was fixed in one spot and when i moved my head it moved the view in the distance and kept my head in the same spot.

i took the headset off and put it back on and just got a black screen and did this a few times until it came back, i then canceled the game and it still did the same in oculus home so it wasnt acc causing the issue

Same issue here. Oculus is complaining about USB 2. I've been using my CV 1 through the Vive Linkbox for years with no issues. Since the latest update the CV 1 isn't recognized anymore.

I tried downgrading to v16. This got rid of the error messages about USB 3, but I still had a black screen. Finally I completely reinstalled v17 and it seems to work now. I still get the warning about USB 3, but it works.

Why do we have a distinct lack of anyone posting from staff?
