I've stayed on the v11 or v12 since last year (blocked updates through firewall rules), and just got a RTX 3080.
--------------------------------------------------
I am very hesitant to update since my software version is so many revisions out of date, and can't afford a bricked Rift S.
Seems that for most this v20 actually works, is that the general consensus and safe to update?
Or just stick with the annoying message on the old version?

I get the message in virtual desktop that says my PC doesn't support VR, which is obviously something to do with the older software I have.
But VR works normally other than the message I see in virtual desktop.

PS - are there any benefits to newer versions as it relates to RTX cards? Any useful processing that happens with RTX cards that could be a better VR experience?

Mate, take your tinfoil hat off and update your Oculus software. I think you should also update win10 to 2004 and your Nvidia drivers (latest ones are meant for the new rtx3000 series). Hiding under a rock is not going to help you in the long run imho.

Mate, no tinfoil here except from what is used to wrap spuds on the BBQ.
You make good points about keeping software current, and some odd [incorrect] assumptions about my overall software installation patterns.
I'm interested to hear your take on what essential features that have made significant usability improvements for Rift S (not CV1) users you think I may have missed out on by staying on the circa December 2019 firmware version?
Cheers.

For my cv1 and pretty sure same for S; X Plane 11 now shits down properly and games/sims that have Vulkan rendering options now work without crashing, Link has also improved. All this without any decline in VR performance. Of course you also have the ability to get support.
i guess if nothing new floats your boat then jest stay retro, lol!

Recording in-VR
- We’ve improved in-VR recording by adding an image stabilization feature. This enhancement will reduce unwanted motion that can happen when looking around in-VR while streaming.
