Quest 3 - Removing headset for a few seconds stops DCS

[Gunslinger52]

Hi All,

Putting my headset back on, no longer continues on with the game.  It used to, up until maybe 3 weeks ago.  

DCS seems frozen (but I can't tell if it is DCS that has stopped working, or it is a Quest 3 thing).

I have checked the power/sleep settings in the Q3, it does not sleep before I put it back on.

Q3 says it has the latest software.  Nvidia drivers I believe are the latest.  Windows is up to date.

Any help gratefully recieved.  (I'm new to the Q3, so a lot to learn still.)

Cheers

Oh that's great!  I'm really new at this, and got all confused.  I heard VD is great, and you can use it with a USB-C cable, so bought it, but now it seems like I have to do other things to get that to work?

So VD works without any Meta software loaded?

https://discord.gg/SAq65JPh  best is to read up on the discord for the app has all the step by step instructions, short answer is no its wireless as most of us buy a second dedicated router that only the headset connects to for wireless.  Totally uninstall all the oculus and meta software as its not used for VD

That is extremely helpful!

Appreciate you taking the time to help out.

Have a good one

Are you using OpenXR Toolkit?

[sleighzy]

Can try putting tape over the sensor as well. A few people do that to stop it sleeping for that very reason (although in your case it hasn’t actually gone to sleep).

Yes I am.  And yes @sleighzy, I reverted to tape over the sensor, and it has stopped the issue.

I have purchased Virtual Desktop, so need to sort out a new router or else figure out to use it via USB-C

Router is the way to go for official support, or if Meta change anything that prevents the steps in the below guide from working. It may be enough just to use a usb-c to ethernet adapter for VirtualDesktop and Quest 3 (it does for some folk), however if you need the extra steps to get it working (note that these may only be needed for a Quest Pro ) then you can try them here:

If you’re using OpenXR toolkit, turn off turbo mode to see if that fixes the issue.
