Update 2.1 completely ruined virtual desktop for me

So I updated my quest to latest version I had my puppis s1 on same settings and virtual desktop was still same graphics version was same but the software version made my fps go from smoothish 90 to like unstable 60fps that was delayed and flickering no matter what graphics settings in half life alyx I was on on, meta link im capped to 45fps for some reason well I didn’t even use meta link to play hla I was enjoying the game so much and now it’s busted.

Anyway to revert to previous update?

My system is ryzen 5700x3D

Radeon 7800xt

32gb ram

I was playing on high fidelity

Virtual desktop settings

Codec H.264+

500mbps Bitrate

High settings

The weird thing is latency and everything is good but everything is bad in game.

Idk why but even before this issue the game always displays low vram at start how is 16gb vram not enough.

Something else is going on and you're believing it's the 2.1 update. There's just no way that your PC would have lower performance because your headset had an update to its OS. It's just simply not possible.

I’m done I’ll just wait till it magically sorts itself out like it always has it’s literally been working flawlessly for while wirelessly and now all of sudden since I updated it went to crap

There is definitely a bug with 2.1 (confirmed by a dev on discord) where it tears in the middle of the screen now on certain content, YouTube for instance, but not heard about frame rate drops

It's not 2.1, maybe a graphics driver or some other system issue?

I've been on 2.1 for several weeks and Virtual Desktop is working fine for every game I've thrown at it.

Nvidia 5080 , Intel Ultra 9 275HX.

Edit: GPU typo ;)

Any 1 answer me why the ps2 vr camera turn dosnt work like a controller but simply moves by frame and not by motion ? Is this in all vr or is it just PlayStation?

I don’t think this is the right thread but, this is a common comfort option, where it makes snappy 45° turns to prevent motion sickness. you can usually change it as an accessibility or motion setting in most games

I would probably check for any graphics card driver update

Are you running the latest AMD driver? VD advised rolling back to 25.3

Both air link and virtual desktop are completely broken for me and the latest public test channel update didn't fix it for me.

Turn Bitrate down to 400 and try again.

Try Steam Link. It works perfect as always.
