Whenever i started the launcher with vr settings, the game crashes on startup.

You must disable OpenXR Toolkit.

did fix this for me, oculus dropped a new update , not in PTC

So i wonder if something in this update is causing issues.

**UPDATE 7/30/2024: META HAS RELEASED THEIR V68 UPDATE AND THEY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY ROLLED OUT A BUG IN ONE OF THE BASIC API OF OPENXR. THIS IS NOT A BUG IN OPENXR TOOLKIT. I HAVE REPORTED THE BUG TO THEM AHEAD OF THEIR RELEASE, BUT THEY DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE ON TIME. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE FIX WILL BE IN V69.

AS OF 2024, SUPPORT FOR OPENXR TOOLKIT IS DISCONTINUED. THERE IS NO NEW DEVELOPMENT AND NO TECH SUPPORT OF ANY SORT. THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT RECOMMEND TO INSTALL/USE OPENXR TOOLKIT, AS IT IS KNOWN TO CAUSE ISSUES WITH MANY OF THE NEWER GAMES RELEASED IN SINCE 2024.

(sorry for the capitals, not mine)

Can you please confirm the update you've just received is v69?

Even without openxr game still crashes, looks like an oculus update bug indeed

Searchin on the web, i have found a fix for this quest app issue, for me at least it worked.

This didn't work for me.  I'm getting the same error shown in the original post.
