Request Developer Flair

I have a weird issue, where my oculus 2 is connected to wifi and seems to work just fine. I can browser any URL as long as it is in "domain" (like reddit.com). Also SMB works in my local LAN.

But as soon as I try to access URL that is of "IP:Port" format, I get ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED error. This happens in Oculus Browser as well as in other apps that have browsers.

The IP:Port addresses are from my internal LAN (192.168.0.XXX; the same LAN oculus is connected to, the same LAN I can access SMB shares). I have tried with other devices (laptops, phones; all through the same access point) and they can all reach the same IP:Port just fine.

Any suggestions?

I connected to the wifi through the Meta app so that it would work on my headset but for some reason the wifi on the headset asks me to sign in. When I click sign in it brings me to www.gstatic.com where the page is blank. Not sure what to do from here. Thanks for any tips and help you can provide!

This morning I got up to use my oculus to come to the realization that it is not working. It keeps flashing from pass through into the Home Screen except the home screen black. I cannot access settings because once it flashes back into pass through everything on the Home Screen is reset. Does anyone know what this is? I have tried resetting it and booting it but nothing seems to work. If anyone has any ideas I would be so appreciative thanks in advance.

my brother got this off a mate who said it was broken, im trying to resurrect it. it shows no indication that it’s charging and won’t turn on.

there’s a burn hole by the usb c slot so could just be that. the guy thought the motherboard was fried but could be anything. if anyone knows anything or a common issue this could be please let me know :)

Hey sub, been experiencing massive latency using a Bluetooth 5.3 headset. Like a second delay, both in games and videos. Seen some info online and read something about improved drivers next year as Q3s doesn't have a jack input.

Anyone has checked this issue in depth and has knowledge to share? Thanks in advance

The default interface and a 3rd party one are just a bit too wide for my face which lets vertical line of lights on the side.

Im looking for small velcro side pads that I can put under the velcro of the interface to make the side narrower to block the lights.

My google research didnt come up with much, anything to recommended or some DIY solution?

Wanted to purchase this as I have procrastinated far too long. Store listing says unavailable. Damn.

i was looking at used vr headsets the other day, and found a used rift s for the equivalent of around 70 dollars

i want to know if this is a good price for what im getting, or if should just leave it

it seems like a good deal since its around a sixth of the retail price

i dont really plan on using it all that much either, so the fact that the headset isnt that good doesnt bother me

any advice would be much appreciated

so im borrowing my sisters vr for a few days and the strap just kinda popped outta place…

i may just be high but i’ve been struggling with the past 30-45 minutes trying to figure how to get this damn thing back in.

any help/tips? where does it even go back in???

Ok, so here goes. I have a CV1 Oculus Rift which has always worked flawlessly; my main use case is to sit at my desk and fly a glider simulator during the winter when I can't be doing the real thing, or when it's raining or crappy weather which, if this year is anything to go by, is most of the time.

It fell out of use a few years ago because of time pressures with a young family; but it has remained on my PC, still connected, ready and waiting to be used.

So when a new version of the simulator I used was released, with some better features, it's rekindled some interest amongst my friends to get back into it and I decided to set it up.

I picked up the headset, dusted it off, plonked it on my head and loaded the Oculus software. Other than it had apparently forgotten about the headset / or wanted to go through the setup again, which took a few minutes, everything was completely fine. It all worked for the 30 mins to an hour that I was faffing with the setup, the simulator recognised it, and a few moments I was sat in the cockpit on the runway in the pissing rain (whoops, got the weather settings wrong!).

This lasted about 5 minutes before it cut out; seemingly, meta had realised that I was using out of date drivers/software and demanded I upgrade to Meta Link.

I allowed the upgrade to happen (like I had a choice), the software installed with no issues, but the headset will not remain connected. It repeatedly seems to attempt to connect to USB, cannot or will not sustain it, and goes off again. After several attempts, the little orange light on the headset blinks repeatedly and it won't do a think until its unplugged, and connected again where the same thing happens.

Interestingly (?) - If I don't connect the HDMI, it seems like it will stay connected (can't really verify this, other than meta link saying so, cause obviously I can't see anything through the headset).

I've uninstalled Meta Link, and reinstalled, a number of times, no errors, but no change. I've updated NVidia drivers to the latest, no change. There appear to be no other outstanding driver updates I can do. There have been no other hardware changes related; and the PC is an i7-8700 with a 3080Ti, so more than enough to run VR (as it always has done).

Meta support are so far hopeless; trying to make me jump through loads of hoops that are unrelated to the actual issue (as per all scripted helplines), which seems pretty obvious (although I have checked and reseated cables etc, they aren't loose because I mainly use VR whilst seated and treat my kit with care). They asked me to send a log file and then their email server rejected the 20mb attachment, no doubt they will tell me the Drive link I have sent them can't be accessed and I will be unable to have a proper conversation with them.

So, Reddit, are there are any other CV1 users out there that have had problems and found resolutions or workarounds to Meta Link?

I mean from amazon or alie or like zenni/reloptix non prescription lenses. If so, from where would you recommend me to buy?

Hello, my left rift-s controller recently died. Despite my best efforts I can't seem to find the root of the problem, so it looks like I'll need to replace the controller. Is there anywhere reputable to find replacement controllers or am I out of luck? Thanks.

This is, to say the least very Annoying. if I have Oculus on my pc and right at startup it hogs 25% of my CPU, even when not planning to use it, It is mainly the OVR Server and it causes that loading wheel by the mouse to constantly be there, it is getting stupid, my performance has been suffering and seeing that blue loading wheel is irritating me.

Any ways to fix or help this?
