Except it would have been 100% unnecessary if he a) had a compatible computer or 2) ran the compatibility tool which would have said you have underpowered USB ports. We all had the same problems with both Developer Rifts, thats why they made the system checking tool for the CV1. But I don't think he has anything to be embarassed about either, as all these things everyone has to learn once! (AND this video likely helped countless others) _It just kind of irked me when he blamed THEM and the DEVICE3, when he didn't seem to check his computers compatibility beforehand. 100% Not the Rifts problem, evidenced by the fact he got it working.
I used to love my Oculus Rift S, then they had an update 8 months ago and me and all my friends got black screens, haven't been able to play since and oculus support really didn't help. I'm not even gonna bother with a quest or quest 2, I'm going straight to the Valve Index now lol.
I've heard about that, and I was scared that I had that problem at first. My budget wasn't great, so I went with the Oculus Rift S. But if you can get a Valve Index, then that's definitely the best choice. The Oculus would be so much better if they actually fixed the software, but the software sucks so much!
I have an Index... And a CV1,.. I PREFER MY CV1... The Index has Vertical FOV not really much more Horizontal. It is heavy and bulky,.. The basestations have moving parts... I just ordered a Rift S. Weird that millions have no problem like this ...
I got my Rift S in November 2019, and only now I'm getting that dumb issue where the Rift freezes while making a beep sound, then static into a black screen. As usual Oculus support was hopeless >:(
I HAVE THE EXACTLY SITUATION RIGH HERE... THE WIERD THING IS THAT THE HEADSET WORKS THE FIRST TIME WHEN I CONNECTED IT, AFTER THAT SENSOR CAN'T TRACK THE DAMN HEADSET....
Guys, there is cheat for this error, go to device manager, find rift s in USBs and right click, there is some driver part, you need to press update and from my computer and pick generic usb :) this worked for me every single time :) i tried many stuff :) "This is THE WAY"
I love how you documented your entire troubleshooting issues with the rift s and yet people are still believing that the rift s is better than the quest 2... I literally got my quest set up in like 30 minutes, sure I needed a Facebook account but honestly that's only a first world issue and it's something that I honestly don't care about because on the internet privacy is a thing of the past anyways.
Just a note with the link cable: You don't need a USB C Card. The USB C is for the Headset to plug it in. When plugging it into your computer you just need a normal USB port.
Actually the official link cable is USB c to USB c. You can use an adapter but I don't think it would work in a USB 1 or USB 2 port it needs a USB 3.0 or higher
I bought a rift S and had a small tracking problem where it would jitter constantly when I turned. Video recording was fine. It was just tracking, but it could track my hands perfectly. Eventually found out it was that the device is a power hog, and the USB port I was using wasn't supplying enough power. This is why a powered USB 3.0 hub is suggested. The one closest to the board and power supply worked perfectly for me though, apparently they are daisy chained power wise and experience power drop the further out you go? I don't know. It seems weird that they tried to power so much off of usb 3 alone. Nobody would have complained if a third power cable came out at the end for a wall plugin. God knows your computer must be near one.
anyone else have an issue where if they are playing a game and they move their head and touch the guardian boundry it glitches and moves back a little and then comes back to where it should be? like the guardian keeps moving like that
So, my Dad absolutely loves rally sims and for years he's been wanting to try a VR experience but has never had the chance/money.

I have had both. The quest was significantly more expensive and it came with many more problems for me. The rift s has always been on the border of having problems and occasionally it does too. idk man I will probably just buy an index lmao
I feel your pain. It’s annoying that they stopped making cv1 cables, so I was forced to switch to a rift s, then a month later, they release the fucking quest. I still have my rift s. I use it very often, 17 hours setting up, the. 30 minutes playing, the. 15 hours fixing the error, repeat from 2.
i can literally get through the entire thing until the very god damn end when you have to continue the setup in vr... and i just get no display but a white light and a blue light indicating it works this is fun

Had those problems with my old pc, maybe the pc hardware isn't strong enough, i had to boost the power going through my USB 3.0 ports for it to work. I know everyone cant get their hands on expensive things. There's always a solution its just if you're willing to look for it and if you're willing to potentially invest in a new little higher tier GPU or CPU. I got tired of my pc being so bad that i just saved up for a new one..
It worked... for a couple days... then it pooped out did that UPDATE: I finally made it work! Just power off your pc then unplug the oculus. Then power on the pc and open the oculus app to the set up page and you can remove your oculus or keep it but I suggest removing it and adding it back. Then plug in the usb to a different 3.0 and if you don’t have one then just try the same port again. Once you reconnect it, you are good to go. When you are finished with your oculus unplug the usb and then when you are ready to play plug it back in where you had it before
thank you for the video! I got my vr and it was working perfect for around a week but then one day it just stopped. I had the same issues as you and you helped me fix the first issue/screen (connecting the display port and USB 3 cables), I'm still stuck on the headset sensors though. I'm still trying some things to see if it work before I make the decision to buy the other product. : )
I watched this video after going through the exact same journey as you. Im now waiting for my pce card to arrive. Hope it does. Just bought boneworks and half life alyx since the damned thing used to work, but when i was ready to play them... Nope. Im so mad :c
So, I have had the Rift S for about half a year now or like 6 - 8 month and they have been fun when it has been working but I had issues with the set up. First I had trouble making a oculus account, then i had the sensores issue wich you also had. After I had managed to get past those two problems I did not face as many problems for a while. But the I got tracking issues with my right hand, where it would stop tracking when moving it fast and move to a randomspot in-game where my hand definetively was not. I fixed it by just taking the battery out and put it back in. And that was the only issue i would encounter until Yesterday. Yesterday first the sound stopped working. and I know it was the headset and not the game because as soon as I switch to a diferent out put for my audio it works fine. But like 1 minute after the audio was gone, my headsets tracking (Like the stuff responsible for how my head moves) moved as if I was moving my head when i was standing compleatly still. And this makes the games unplayable. I have tried restarting the PC, setting up the headset again (Like the first time) And the thing is I have changed nothing since last time it worked fine. The only diferance is that I have a new keyboard. But I still use the same USB 3 port and the same Display Port as before for the headset.
I had, and still have this USB problem, i even bought Rift S because it only need 1 USB 3.0 port. And i have Z590, with nothing but USB 3.2, RTX 2080, I7-1170k, 32GB of RAM and 500Gb + 1Tb NVMe drives, and i have USB problem. I know this is not my hardware because i can play Crysis on max settings and STAR WARS Battlefront II with out any problems. Also everything except Oculus works perfectly on my PC. I think that Oculus is phasing out Rift and Rift S and spending all their resources on the Quest, and the Rift simply can't cope with newer machinery. Just try to charge your Phone or a tablet with your USB port and see if it can charge it with out problems. That test will tell you if it is performing right. Also i bought a powered USB 3.0 and it did help somewhat after i did move it from PCIe 1x slot into PCIe 16x slot...
@@TheMadface80 I'm happy to report that the pcie part has fixed my problem! I also made sure that the correct driver was used. The driver was thankfully installed automatically. If anything, the oculus keeps "disconnecting", but I'm able to successfully reset the connection no problem. Not sure what's going on, but it's better than what was happening before. Thank you for the video. Truly.
@@bejoba3519 I'm glad it worked for you! If you have intermittent issues of it disconnecting occasionally, go to - Device Manager - Press the arrow to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers" - Right-click on anything that says "USB Hub" (i.e USB Root Hub or Generic USB Hub, or anything like that) - Select "Properties" - If there's a "Power Management" tab, click on that. - Make sure "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is unchecked. - Repeat for every device under "Universal Serial Bus controller" that's a hub or references USB 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 - Hopefully that works.
I feel like I saved myself a lot of frustration by just getting the Quest 2 and a USBC cable. It’s not without its issues but the problems in this video are far beyond my knowledge and patience.
In my cause I must perform a sacred ritual which involves unplugging the cables, and putting them back in. If it doesn’t work I must perform it again… and again and again and again and again and one day it works :)
For months I had problems with my Rift S audio drivers crashing. The only solution I found was to let windows handle the audio and run a 25ft cable to my headphones directly from my pc.
Having your exact same problems here. I ordered an external powered usb extender as another guy suggested it in a video I saw before yours. Strange thing is that the Rift S was working perfectly before and I only own the thing for about 4 months. I hope to fix the issue as well otherwise I’m returning it
@@neoaxel94 Unfortunately not even the external USB worked for me. Today I asked Amazon to returrn Oculus. I think when I have some more money I will go for the Reverb G2. Oculus has been a great disappointment. What really bothers me is that I had it for only 5 months and in the beginning it was working perfectly.
My wife arrived at home with a gift for me...the Oculus rift cv1 (used) BUT my setup wasn't enough so..i bought another cpu,mobo,ram,gpu...I 56400 Msi z170a Gaming m5,16gb ram DDR4 corsair vengeance,Msi gtx 1060 3 gb. Back to home,plugged in and OK!! it is enough for it...Started the setup and...i cannot complete the sensor tracking..(request expired) so i bought a powered USB 3.0 but still nothing...checked all the power save on usb ports,downloaded the media feature pack for win 10,updated all drivers gpu usb etc...and still nothing...I've called an computer technician that spent all day with thos stupid sensors and...nothing! Now i'm watching your video...and realized i got ASMedia root....jesus... so if i buy a PCI express card MAYBE it can fix my problem? I'm trying everything from 3 damn weeks,i'm gonna trown this crap rift out of the windows soon!!
My rift S worked first thing. But at the time there was still two issues creeping up the back of the mark zucchinis back. First of all every 10 to 15 seconds the mic would turn robotic so I bought a mod mic wireless and that fixed it. But then the other problem came up. THE HEADSET CRASHES EVERY 10 MINUTES so I went to oculus support and guess what. They said that is was with my computer even though its custom with the newest parts and guess what they said next you'll love this. BUY A NEW HEADSET And I was like no only if I get a full refund on this and they said. ONLY IF YOU BUY ANOTHER OCULUS HEADSET And after all this they still think I'm buying another oculus headset? No Next time I'm gonna just buy a index or a vive.
they do have online chat though 1:17 bottom right corner there is the chat option. im having issues with the display port right now it says it is not connected ive tried everything but nothing works
I related to this video and great job on editing! This is my situation: Just got an oculus rift s after my rift stopped working and support couldn't help. From the first day on I've had to plug in both wires, unplug them, and plug them back into different ports every time I want to use it. Recently it's decided to crash either my oculus or my whole computer in games. I consult some friends and bought a new USB 3 card, it didn't fit. I now have to buy a new computer and the rift s has started giving me a black screen when I put on the headset.
Dude I'm literally dying physically at this point, but my problem started completely different all the checks are green and "working", but the pass-through and tracking doesn't work at all!!! Did exactly the same shit like you, but the support still suggests the same shit for the 12th time and they have like 5 logs from me... I'm tired, really really tired. But one thing I didn't do was change the driver I'll try that tomorrow and if that doesn't work I'll get a pcie card and after that, I will just return this shit or I'll break it
I couldn’t use my rift s for multiple months because the controllers didn’t give any output and they wouldn’t track. I only just fixed this today. I hate that lizard man.
Tried every fix I saw in this video, tried other videos and looked for every possible solution online, and yet still I can’t play anything. I’ll be returning my headset soon as well as the $100+ worth of stuff I bought to try to fix the problems.
I know its old but let me tell you, the oculus quest makes far more headaches, because your GPU needs to compress and decompress the image and press it through an usb type c cable, and that requires much more gpu power.
The hardware for oculus is good but the Oculus app is just crappy. I had a warping thing and I thought it was the cpu or cable. Nope it was a synchronous space warp setting that you can't disable. So I am just using virtual desktop. I had a kiwi link cable and that was good, it's just oculus software unfortunately
I assume you ran the COMPATIBILITY TOOL? That should have told you if you had underpowered ports... We have all known this since CV1. This is not a prboem with the headset... There is nothing to fix except for people to have modern computers... They assumed people would use the compatibility tool... They DID WARN YOU by supplying a compatibility checking tool.. friend.
The compatibility tool hasn't been supported since 2019, and Oculus no longer offers a download link to it officially. The only way to get it is through shady websites, which I just did. When I got it, it still says all my USB aren't compatible even though it works well now. And the Oculus representative never once mentioned the tool, which would've been an obvious thing to talk about. So no, they didn't warn me until I was like 5 days into the support emails.
I have a lot of issues with random crashes and a static issue with the sensors where they completely turn off, i fuckin hate how annoying those bugs are, but still for me i kinda find it worth it (Although it does destroy my progress)
Loved me quest and link cable.................I’d like to say the saying “all good things come to an end at some point” was wrong in this situation but nope, my link cable stopped working and now I’m buying a refurbished rift s off of Amazon
@@oadnapalliko7342 ye same, but it arrived and i had no difficulties at all :) everything worked first try, it works very well actually, no problems at all
just bought my bf the Rift S and tried to install the oculus app last night, i ran into the "repair software" loop where no matter how many times you restart pc or uninstall the software it wouldn't repair.. I had to go through my files and delete all oculus files & logs, run a cleaning software, then restart pc and try installing again. The app is currently installing right now, so we'll see if this shit actually works 😫
before schoenberg toke over oculus, my rift and rift S vos working great but now meta has ruined best headsets, and now they are full with issues, one moment worx and then again issues
I got my Rift S right before quest released and had DP issues from day 2, I have to unplug and replug multiple times to get mine working and also have ASMedia USB Driver.
I had my rift s at the end of December, when my wife and I were in temporary accommodation. We moved back home last Saturday, 6th March 2021, so about 2 months later. The rift s worked perfectly at the temporary property but since coming home it's giving me a display port error. I'm just about tearing my hair out here......pissed off is not the word........:(
I did get Rift S Today, cost me 300€. So... I really have about top-performance computer... Ok, might have couple of years old CPU Ryzen 2700x but otherwise... Ok AMD x5700 8GB card... But really... MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WIFI motherboard, AMD Ryzen 2700x 8 cores / 16 Threads, 64Gb DDR4 3200Mhz mem, AMD RX5700 8GB, 2x 1 TB M.2, Logitech G15 keyboard, Naga TRINITY Mouse, Bluecloud W104 4K Web Camera, Oculus Rift S VR headset... And couple of monitors... You think that this setup is just plug&play with Rift S... Ok... I had no problems with USB 3 because I have USB 3.2 so it is green... I have plenty of display ports on my card but the Oculus DisplayPort thing just rolls and rolls in setup and don't find a port... Yea, I have update AMD drivers, change ports, and so on... Dada... So I understand if some older hardware has problems :)
For the past week my rift has been crashing, 5-10 minutes in and comes back but my audio disappears (very nice) or my cameras crash, forums are no help and neither is oculus.
My problem right now is it will say it’s connected or connecting but then the display port has a red X and it wasn’t showing any image even though they were both plugged in and it started working and then it stopped and when I tired to open guardian it wouldn’t open
Dude I have these EXACT same issues hahah. Except that my pc is pretty powerful and modern and my rift s worked absolutely fine before.. then I haven't used it for like half a year, (I didn't buy any new hardware, didnt update anything in between) and now it just says cant sense the sensors.. no matter what I try.. spent the entire day yesterday trying to fix. Tried soo many things.
@@zachm6470 :/ i did absolute ton of things.. for many days. I think in the end I just updated windows to latest version, usb drivers to latest, graphics card, and unplugged all cables possible from headset, then switched from asrock usb 3.0 drivers to generic Microsoft usb drivers in device manager and re-plugged everything
This thing clearly isn’t worth it, mine only worked for like one week but now it loses tracking and crashes like every 10 to 15 minutes. I’ve been trying to fix this POS for basically 2 weeks and I’m at my limit lmao.
so for Christmas 2020 I got the Oculus Rift S and then I forgot I didn't have a HDMI port or display port thingy so I had to buy a new graphics card , wait like 4 days or 5 days for it to arrive, then it took another day actually inserting the graphics card , although then VR was working perfectly, no issues until a few days later when the VR headset wouldn't connect, so now a few days of just pain I finally came to the conclusion and brought something that had a USB 3.0 , Although when the headset was working perfectly I had a USB 3.0 so here I am waiting for the t h I n g to arrive tomorrow. I am very tired, I want to play hotdogs horseshoes and hand grenades, and plus a few days ago when I had gotten medal of honour above and beyond, so I loaded Steam VR and then that's when the VR headset wouldn't connect. the USB 3.0 thing is arriving tomorrow, please jersey post/royal mail, I just want to play medal of honour VR.
My Ouclus Rift S keeps stuttering anywhere I play. Even in the Oculus home and Valve home I keep having this extrushiating lag effect and seeing the black lines whenever I look around. It is so hard to play a game with so much intense stutter and render difficulties. I tried everything myself and others on the internet could think of. Even going into the Oculus debug tool and Nvidea Geforce settings the games still lag! I just cannot find a way to stop it and my headset just turned a year old!
I refuse to accept that the quality of this video only got you a few hundred views... this is some top tier stuff.
I agree,
It solved my issue too and oooo damn was I close to returning it
This guy gave 200% into fixing his issue and you can hear it was stressful. Damn it made for a great video.

It worked... for a couple days... then it pooped out did that
UPDATE: I finally made it work! Just power off your pc then unplug the oculus. Then power on the pc and open the oculus app to the set up page and you can remove your oculus or keep it but I suggest removing it and adding it back. Then plug in the usb to a different 3.0 and if you don’t have one then just try the same port again. Once you reconnect it, you are good to go. When you are finished with your oculus unplug the usb and then when you are ready to play plug it back in where you had it before
SAME.
thank you for the video! I got my vr and it was working perfect for around a week but then one day it just stopped. I had the same issues as you and you helped me fix the first issue/screen (connecting the display port and USB 3 cables), I'm still stuck on the headset sensors though. I'm still trying some things to see if it work before I make the decision to buy the other product. : )
Did you solve the headset sensors issue in the end I’m stuck on it now?
I watched this video after going through the exact same journey as you. Im now waiting for my pce card to arrive. Hope it does. Just bought boneworks and half life alyx since the damned thing used to work, but when i was ready to play them... Nope. Im so mad :c
It didnt work. They replaced my oculus tho.
So, I have had the Rift S for about half a year now or like 6 - 8 month and they have been fun when it has been working but I had issues with the set up. First I had trouble making a oculus account, then i had the sensores issue wich you also had. After I had managed to get past those two problems I did not face as many problems for a while. But the I got tracking issues with my right hand, where it would stop tracking when moving it fast and move to a randomspot in-game where my hand definetively was not. I fixed it by just taking the battery out and put it back in. And that was the only issue i would encounter until Yesterday. Yesterday first the sound stopped working. and I know it was the headset and not the game because as soon as I switch to a diferent out put for my audio it works fine. But like 1 minute after the audio was gone, my headsets tracking (Like the stuff responsible for how my head moves) moved as if I was moving my head when i was standing compleatly still. And this makes the games unplayable. I have tried restarting the PC, setting up the headset again (Like the first time) And the thing is I have changed nothing since last time it worked fine. The only diferance is that I have a new keyboard. But I still use the same USB 3 port and the same Display Port as before for the headset.
I had, and still have this USB problem, i even bought Rift S because it only need 1 USB 3.0 port. And i have Z590, with nothing but USB 3.2, RTX 2080, I7-1170k, 32GB of RAM and 500Gb + 1Tb NVMe drives, and i have USB problem. I know this is not my hardware because i can play Crysis on max settings and STAR WARS Battlefront II with out any problems. Also everything except Oculus works perfectly on my PC. I think that Oculus is phasing out Rift and Rift S and spending all their resources on the Quest, and the Rift simply can't cope with newer machinery. Just try to charge your Phone or a tablet with your USB port and see if it can charge it with out problems. That test will tell you if it is performing right. Also i bought a powered USB 3.0 and it did help somewhat after i did move it from PCIe 1x slot into PCIe 16x slot...
You can buy a 20 dollar cable from anker that is several meters, works with link, and is usb c to a, so you would have saved money
You wouldn't understand the struggle of being poor man. Rather get a game for 20$ then a cable.
Friggin brilliant sorry you had to go through all that crap. But it’s made a great video. Cheers
Thanks for the heads up, I just ordered the PCI-E part and I'm hoping that it'll work for me as well. Cheers.
Honestly, good luck with that. I hope it works!
@@TheMadface80 I'm happy to report that the pcie part has fixed my problem! I also made sure that the correct driver was used. The driver was thankfully installed automatically. If anything, the oculus keeps "disconnecting", but I'm able to successfully reset the connection no problem. Not sure what's going on, but it's better than what was happening before. Thank you for the video. Truly.
@@bejoba3519 I'm glad it worked for you! If you have intermittent issues of it disconnecting occasionally, go to
- Device Manager
- Press the arrow to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers"
- Right-click on anything that says "USB Hub" (i.e USB Root Hub or Generic USB Hub, or anything like that)
- Select "Properties"
- If there's a "Power Management" tab, click on that.
- Make sure "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is unchecked.
- Repeat for every device under "Universal Serial Bus controller" that's a hub or references USB 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2
- Hopefully that works.
Does it make a difference which pcie card you buy as long as it is usb 3.0?
I have the exact same issue so when I buy a USB 3.0 expansion card hopefully I prey to God it work
Currently having this exact issue, only thing is this has just started happening after over a year of use with no major problems like this
The censor beeps killing me
Your video is very funny and all i was thinking about this frustrating situation
As long as you have any high speed usb 3 port you can use a good quality usb c- a cable with the quest
I feel like I saved myself a lot of frustration by just getting the Quest 2 and a USBC cable.
It’s not without its issues but the problems in this video are far beyond my knowledge and patience.
I had the same issue at first but just had to unplug the usb and plug it back in a few times and it finally worked
im still having problems with my headset
Mine crashes whenever I launch steam vr and play a game
@@1by151 bro literally same u find a fix yet?
In my cause I must perform a sacred ritual which involves unplugging the cables, and putting them back in. If it doesn’t work I must perform it again… and again and again and again and again and one day it works :)
been here for like 7 hours and nothing my oculus rift s keep turning off
Asmedia USB issues have been the bain of my existence for the last 3 years ... AS MEDIA Host controllers cause so many problems and even damage
For months I had problems with my Rift S audio drivers crashing. The only solution I found was to let windows handle the audio and run a 25ft cable to my headphones directly from my pc.
I think it was like that because your gpu doesn't have enough power so when you bought PCI 4 ports it gave enough power
Thank you for the actual solution!!!!
This is the exact same experiance I've had
Having your exact same problems here. I ordered an external powered usb extender as another guy suggested it in a video I saw before yours. Strange thing is that the Rift S was working perfectly before and I only own the thing for about 4 months. I hope to fix the issue as well otherwise I’m returning it
hii thats works for you? mine was working until now and i dont know what to do
@@neoaxel94 Unfortunately not even the external USB worked for me. Today I asked Amazon to returrn Oculus. I think when I have some more money I will go for the Reverb G2. Oculus has been a great disappointment. What really bothers me is that I had it for only 5 months and in the beginning it was working perfectly.
I fixed disconnecting all the electric power of the PC and removing the system and installing again w10
@@neoaxel94 I'm happy for you :)
My wife arrived at home with a gift for me...the Oculus rift cv1 (used) BUT my setup wasn't enough so..i bought another cpu,mobo,ram,gpu...I 56400 Msi z170a Gaming m5,16gb ram DDR4 corsair vengeance,Msi gtx 1060 3 gb. Back to home,plugged in and OK!! it is enough for it...Started the setup and...i cannot complete the sensor tracking..(request expired) so i bought a powered USB 3.0 but still nothing...checked all the power save on usb ports,downloaded the media feature pack for win 10,updated all drivers gpu usb etc...and still nothing...I've called an computer technician that spent all day with thos stupid sensors and...nothing! Now i'm watching your video...and realized i got ASMedia root....jesus... so if i buy a PCI express card MAYBE it can fix my problem? I'm trying everything from 3 damn weeks,i'm gonna trown this crap rift out of the windows soon!!
"WE NEED MORE WOMEN IN STEM!!!!"
Women in STEM: 4:45
My rift S worked first thing. But at the time there was still two issues creeping up the back of the mark zucchinis back. First of all every 10 to 15 seconds the mic would turn robotic so I bought a mod mic wireless and that fixed it. But then the other problem came up. THE HEADSET CRASHES EVERY 10 MINUTES so I went to oculus support and guess what. They said that is was with my computer even though its custom with the newest parts and guess what they said next you'll love this. BUY A NEW HEADSET And I was like no only if I get a full refund on this and they said. ONLY IF YOU BUY ANOTHER OCULUS HEADSET And after all this they still think I'm buying another oculus headset? No Next time I'm gonna just buy a index or a vive.
subbed, this was quality
they do have online chat though 1:17 bottom right corner there is the chat option. im having issues with the display port right now it says it is not connected ive tried everything but nothing works
dude your so lucky with your problems my problems have been lasting...for a whole year.
Welcome to Oculus. Powering terrible bugs that are almost impossible to fix.
I related to this video and great job on editing! This is my situation:
Just got an oculus rift s after my rift stopped working and support couldn't help. From the first day on I've had to plug in both wires, unplug them, and plug them back into different ports every time I want to use it. Recently it's decided to crash either my oculus or my whole computer in games. I consult some friends and bought a new USB 3 card, it didn't fit. I now have to buy a new computer and the rift s has started giving me a black screen when I put on the headset.
Dude I'm literally dying physically at this point, but my problem started completely different all the checks are green and "working", but the pass-through and tracking doesn't work at all!!! Did exactly the same shit like you, but the support still suggests the same shit for the 12th time and they have like 5 logs from me... I'm tired, really really tired. But one thing I didn't do was change the driver I'll try that tomorrow and if that doesn't work I'll get a pcie card and after that, I will just return this shit or I'll break it
I couldn’t use my rift s for multiple months because the controllers didn’t give any output and they wouldn’t track. I only just fixed this today. I hate that lizard man.
just returned mine, since i couldn't fix the issue. stupid that this happend really
Tried every fix I saw in this video, tried other videos and looked for every possible solution online, and yet still I can’t play anything. I’ll be returning my headset soon as well as the $100+ worth of stuff I bought to try to fix the problems.
Have you tried all?
USB Powered HUB
USB pCIE card
USB 3 to USB Type-c adapter
dude it took me 5 mins to set up mine, maybe your pc is just not up for it
I know its old but let me tell you, the oculus quest makes far more headaches, because your GPU needs to compress and decompress the image and press it through an usb type c cable, and that requires much more gpu power.
The hardware for oculus is good but the Oculus app is just crappy. I had a warping thing and I thought it was the cpu or cable. Nope it was a synchronous space warp setting that you can't disable. So I am just using virtual desktop. I had a kiwi link cable and that was good, it's just oculus software unfortunately
I assume you ran the COMPATIBILITY TOOL? That should have told you if you had underpowered ports... We have all known this since CV1. This is not a prboem with the headset... There is nothing to fix except for people to have modern computers... They assumed people would use the compatibility tool... They DID WARN YOU by supplying a compatibility checking tool.. friend.
The compatibility tool hasn't been supported since 2019, and Oculus no longer offers a download link to it officially. The only way to get it is through shady websites, which I just did. When I got it, it still says all my USB aren't compatible even though it works well now. And the Oculus representative never once mentioned the tool, which would've been an obvious thing to talk about. So no, they didn't warn me until I was like 5 days into the support emails.
Yeah the way Oculus made their product really sucks. Just in order to switch from pc to a new pc is time consuming.
I have a lot of issues with random crashes and a static issue with the sensors where they completely turn off, i fuckin hate how annoying those bugs are, but still for me i kinda find it worth it (Although it does destroy my progress)
Loved me quest and link cable.................I’d like to say the saying “all good things come to an end at some point” was wrong in this situation but nope, my link cable stopped working and now I’m buying a refurbished rift s off of Amazon
had the exact same problem and copied what you done so thank you 🙏
I am having this issue now but after having used my rift s for a year now
Same here
So the main problem is just... i have to buy a 4 port pci.
REALLY MAN?! I WAITED A WHOLE DAY TO TRY AND FIX IT AND ITS JUST THAT?
i literally just ordered a rift S a few day ago, it hasnt arrived yet but im praying mine works
same this video got me scared now
@@oadnapalliko7342 ye same, but it arrived and i had no difficulties at all :) everything worked first try, it works very well actually, no problems at all
ig some people are just unlucky
oh well thats better
just bought my bf the Rift S and tried to install the oculus app last night, i ran into the "repair software" loop where no matter how many times you restart pc or uninstall the software it wouldn't repair.. I had to go through my files and delete all oculus files & logs, run a cleaning software, then restart pc and try installing again. The app is currently installing right now, so we'll see if this shit actually works 😫
OMG THX, 1:40 YOU SAVE MY LIFE LOVE YOU BRO (no homo)
before schoenberg toke over oculus, my rift and rift S vos working great but now meta has ruined best headsets, and now they are full with issues, one moment worx and then again issues
I got my Rift S right before quest released and had DP issues from day 2, I have to unplug and replug multiple times to get mine working and also have ASMedia USB Driver.
I HAVE THE OCULUS RIFT S AND I’M HAVING THE SAME USB PROBLEM AS YOU EXCEPT THAT I WAS TRYING IT ON A PS5????!!! WTF
I had my rift s at the end of December, when my wife and I were in temporary accommodation.
We moved back home last Saturday, 6th March 2021, so about 2 months later.
The rift s worked perfectly at the temporary property but since coming home it's giving me a display port error.
I'm just about tearing my hair out here......pissed off is not the word........:(
Did you fix display port error?
Good video
I did get Rift S Today, cost me 300€. So... I really have about top-performance computer... Ok, might have couple of years old CPU Ryzen 2700x but otherwise... Ok AMD x5700 8GB card... But really... MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WIFI motherboard, AMD Ryzen 2700x 8 cores / 16 Threads, 64Gb DDR4 3200Mhz mem, AMD RX5700 8GB, 2x 1 TB M.2, Logitech G15 keyboard, Naga TRINITY Mouse, Bluecloud W104 4K Web Camera, Oculus Rift S VR headset... And couple of monitors... You think that this setup is just plug&play with Rift S... Ok... I had no problems with USB 3 because I have USB 3.2 so it is green... I have plenty of display ports on my card but the Oculus DisplayPort thing just rolls and rolls in setup and don't find a port... Yea, I have update AMD drivers, change ports, and so on... Dada... So I understand if some older hardware has problems :)
I’ve had mine a week and I’m battling usb and Display port not connecting issues pray for me
same bro
Same here, it's fucking ridiculous.
you sexy man you fixed it, after all these super serious videos i watched that did not help you did.
Dude thank you so much
Can u make a video of how u built the usb 3.0
I hope this helps
th-cam.com/video/bnbszqbXXik/w-d-xo.html
I have a similar problem but I can’t get past adding my profile picture, I just get a black screen it’s very annoying
For the past week my rift has been crashing, 5-10 minutes in and comes back but my audio disappears (very nice) or my cameras crash, forums are no help and neither is oculus.
My problem right now is it will say it’s connected or connecting but then the display port has a red X and it wasn’t showing any image even though they were both plugged in and it started working and then it stopped and when I tired to open guardian it wouldn’t open
Thank you sooo much
Dude I have these EXACT same issues hahah. Except that my pc is pretty powerful and modern and my rift s worked absolutely fine before.. then I haven't used it for like half a year, (I didn't buy any new hardware, didnt update anything in between) and now it just says cant sense the sensors.. no matter what I try.. spent the entire day yesterday trying to fix. Tried soo many things.
Same exact situation
@@zachm6470 i think updating windows to the latest version helped.
@@CoyotePark did that😐
@@zachm6470 :/ i did absolute ton of things.. for many days. I think in the end I just updated windows to latest version, usb drivers to latest, graphics card, and unplugged all cables possible from headset, then switched from asrock usb 3.0 drivers to generic Microsoft usb drivers in device manager and re-plugged everything
@@CoyotePark thanks!
This thing clearly isn’t worth it, mine only worked for like one week but now it loses tracking and crashes like every 10 to 15 minutes. I’ve been trying to fix this POS for basically 2 weeks and I’m at my limit lmao.
Hey this video helped a lot but I’m still kinda confused. I was hoping you can explain what that is I need.
I have a laptop so I not I can’t buy that but instead do I just buy a stronger USB 3.0 port?
so for Christmas 2020 I got the Oculus Rift S and then I forgot I didn't have a HDMI port or display port thingy so I had to buy a new graphics card , wait like 4 days or 5 days for it to arrive, then it took another day actually inserting the graphics card , although then VR was working perfectly, no issues until a few days later when the VR headset wouldn't connect, so now a few days of just pain I finally came to the conclusion and brought something that had a USB 3.0 , Although when the headset was working perfectly I had a USB 3.0 so here I am waiting for the t h I n g to arrive tomorrow. I am very tired, I want to play hotdogs horseshoes and hand grenades, and plus a few days ago when I had gotten medal of honour above and beyond, so I loaded Steam VR and then that's when the VR headset wouldn't connect. the USB 3.0 thing is arriving tomorrow, please jersey post/royal mail, I just want to play medal of honour VR.
this sucks, i have everything necessary but my monitor doesnt have a camera so i cant get past the goddamn sensor check
My rift s kept disconnecting my displayport for weeks only for me to find out the cable was not fully plugged in the headset.
I'm having the exact same problem, I'm gonna try your last steps and if that doesn't work I'm going doom on Facebook hq
i cant get mine to work
@MADFUTGIVEAWAYS __ nope, ended up buying a quest and using oculus link, works perfect
my problem is that sometimes it works then other times it doesn't work for like 2 days because of the sensor check
My problems are with Steam VR..says cannot track headset. Works flawlessly with Oculus. The chess game keep crashing on Steam VR...a chess game!
My Ouclus Rift S keeps stuttering anywhere I play. Even in the Oculus home and Valve home I keep having this extrushiating lag effect and seeing the black lines whenever I look around. It is so hard to play a game with so much intense stutter and render difficulties. I tried everything myself and others on the internet could think of. Even going into the Oculus debug tool and Nvidea Geforce settings the games still lag! I just cannot find a way to stop it and my headset just turned a year old!
