Something's not right here.
The Rift is dead (to facebook) + The way forward is the Quest + PTC was only for the PC version + No significant software update for Rift in a long time.
This version has apparently gone public very quietly without a new PTC version.


I reckon we're seeing the end of the PTC for PC.



Is that taps I hear in the background?

usb 3 detection still an issue specifically only on oculus software, has been for ages now, also having the issue with pinned windows blanking to grey, this is after a full wipe and DDU.

I've not seen a single update that's fixed either of these issues and it's beyond a joke now, way to kill off a product line by breaking it and turning a blind eye to it's existence.

First, this new update kills the helmet and you have to manually reinstall the app to get everything working.  then, in the middle of the game, the floor level gets lost and ends up on my belt.  great job, facebook.  I have not received such a disgusting product since the very first Chinese touch phones.

I feel bad that you hare having issues. However, occasionally it needs to be pointed out that there is a difference between a specific error happening on someone's specific unit and hardware and a statement that X breaks Y. 

If what you are experiencing was happening to everyone, this site would be blowing up and Oculus would be rolling back the update. If you want help from us, there are plenty of people here with a Rift S who could help troubleshoot with you.

I am in the discord, in the VR community, at least 4 people have already complained about a non-working helmet and black screens.  I was able to fix it only by uninstalling the program through its installer and deleting it to the manual oculus folder.  Perhaps the problem is that the software is not installed on the system drive.  Problems with the floor most likely stemmed from such a reinstallation, but at least the helmet started up.  And with a black screen, even here, I'm not alone.  I saw several posts with a similar problem on this form.  New posts

Don't worry mate.  I think that Oculus have just forgot to delete the PTC from this thread's title.  In any case, it seems to work fine for me.
