Oculus App Status "Can't reach Oculus service", urgent cannot develop our app for quest store

We are in beta and are trying to release a build for Oculus QA

We started having issues with the Oculus app on PC. When it is run it fails, saying:

Occulus App Status
Can't reach Oculus service
Please try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, try repairing your Oculus app.

We have repaired it, that didn't work. Then reinstalled it, as Administrator, also didn't work. Then uninstalled and deleted everything under C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Oculus, and reinstalled as Administrator OculusSetup.exe, and rebooted. It still cannot reach the Oculus service.

There are some errors at the end of OculusSetup.log:

This is an extremely urgent issue for us, as we can no longer access certain settings from within the OVR Plugin for Unreal Engine, it does not even show the settings unless the Oculus App is running. We also cannot access Rift mode because of this, among other issues.

Me too. I tried patch , repair , delete everething and install it again under VPN. All is unsuccessful. Why can't developers solve this problem?

I open ticket to support "Your request (2845186)" it is unbeliaveble terreble support. At the first email I wrote that I have OS Windows 7 SP1 and that Software OculusSetup supposed to support it. After that I was asked to do a lot of actions to "solve" the issue, they didn't help, then I was asked to collect Oculus logs, I provide it, then to collect windows information. And at the end I was told that Windows 7 is not supported.....   F.......k!!!!!

Is this fixed? I have an identical error log. 😞 Put in a ticket to...

Same problem here. I just want to bin my quest 2 and wait for a competent company to make a headset. Completely broken software with no fix

Why can’t meta tell us how to actually fix this? Their repair thing does nothing but waste your time. Absolutely crap software
