Hey there Pavelpouble, 

 

Thank you so much for reaching out. 

 

In regards to your Rift S, while it can occasionally flash an orange or yellow light, red is one of those colors that we would love to investigate further with you.  

 

If you would please submit a support ticket complete with the log files of your computer so we can work toward a solution together. 

 

To gather the logs: 

  1. Open the Run window (Windows key + R).
  2. Enter and run: C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusLogGatherer.exe
    • The above link is the default directory. Bear in mind that if you installed Oculus Home to another drive you will need to update the command with the correct file path.
  3. Select the checkbox next to ‘Full logs’.
  4. Select "1 day" from the "Collect last" drop down list.
  5. Wait for the log collection to finish. This can take some time to complete.
  6. The program will automatically generate a zip file containing your logs, which will be saved to your desktop automatically.
  7. Attach the newly created zip file to your support response.

We look forward to assisting you with this.

I had this problem just now, it turned out to be the cable plugged into the headset that was the issue - unplugged it and reseated it and it works ok now.

This is a real Joke...  They dont care anny more about Rift S   ( It is someting whit the firmware head-set).
