Rift/ Meta 2 - hardware is there but not there- need help

[TOMCATZ]

Hi 

If this is not the right section- please move this to another topic. Thanks 

 

I bought the Quest 2. In the years before I was a proud owner of the Rift and I was totally happy. But since I bought the Oculus Quest 2 - everything fucked up. 

 

First: I bought the Quest 2 , connected everything (link cable original oculus) , installed the app on my mobile, started the oculus program on my computer, removed the old hardware (rift s) out of the program. The oculus software realized the new headset (Wireless , link-cable), everything was on green light but:

Then I've tried to start DCS - no hardware found. T have tried to start a video player - no hardware. Still the connection was on green- in the headset was a picture and the connection was shown in the Setup. 

 

I deleted all folders and deinstalled the oculus software from my computer and started all again from scratch. New download from the company, new installation, again ... same result. All was shown on green light, connection was established but it was not possible to start a video player or DCS flight simulator. 

 

So I decided to go back to my old Oculus Rift. I set up all the cables again, HDMI cable not found. I reinstalled the complete oculus software, cables, setup ... HDMI connection not found. 

So I checked the hardware manager - "Second monitor RIFT is connected" - so - it is definitely there, online and working. The cable is correct, original and working. All ports and USBs are updated and working. 

I made a windows restore - Oculus software can still not find my HDMI connection to the headset.   Yes- USBs in and out, reset, restart, HDMI cable in and out in order ... I did everything what I found in the internet forums and youtube videos ... 

 

I have an i9 processor, Win10, 3090Ti and 64GB RAM - so should be more then enough. All driver updated- everything is working fine except every hard- and software from Oculus. 

 

Okay - I had a working Oculus Rift software. I bought the Meta 2 that is not working, reconnected my Rift equipment and this is not working anymore.....

 

At the end of the day I just want to play DCS in VR- nothing more. So would be more then thankful for any kind of help. 

Thanks

I'm not at home at the moment to be able to check, but in your Oculus software on the PC do you have, I think it's called, experimental features or open beta features enabled in the settings? You might need that enabled in order for it to work with DCS, but I'm not sure. And I'm assuming you have VR enabled in your DCS settings and also enabling the link cable in the software inside the headset once it's connected?

I'm running a Quest 2 and my procedure is start the Quest PC software, Turn on my headset - make sure it shows green and connected in the PC software - put on headset - enable link cable in menu inside the headset - Start DCS.

Hey Tomcatz,

Did you see this option in your headset on start-up..."Allow connected device to access files"  ?

followed by... "Enable Oculus Link"  ?

I've checked my settings. In your Oculus PC software, go to settings and under the 'General' tab make sure that you have the Unknown Sources option ticked that "allows apps that have not been reviewed by Oculus to run".
