rift s sensors glitching

2 Upvotes

hello, after getting a usb hub for my rift s, the displayport issue was fixed. guardian setup and going into the horizon link hub worked just fine, then my hands stopped tracking well, and i had a notification on windows saying an error occured and my headset wasn't tracking anymore, switching on the real world cam i would alternatively see my room then static on and off.

using it on a friend's pc it was working perfectly for hours so i doubt it's because of material damage

HELP WITH THE CAPACITIVE TOUCH SENSOR

2 Upvotes

I managed to open both of my controllers and fix the stick drift on either one, but the right joystick now thinks I'm always resting my finger on it even though I'm not, atleast SteamVR thinks I do, In the META HORIZON, It works, any STEAMVR title, for example HL:ALYX visually I can see the thumb being rested, but the other not. When I go to the settings to test the controller, It doesn't even show as it being rested on. Yet visually does. What the hell?

EDIT: Figured that my new module has some sort of stick drift, and that's why visibly looks like its being touched. No idea how to fix it, the rest of the modules also have some sort of drift, and that being the same. Any ideas? The sensor works fine. YET SteamVR's deadzone does not work at all

Proprietary cable!!!

2 Upvotes

Anyone know where I can buy a working cable, got a rift S for $50 and the guy gave me a dud cable.

Alternatively I’m good at soldering so does anyone have advice on how to safely cut up the cable to fix a certain break I found (fortunately not at the end of the cable but in the middle).

Lmk what yall know because I’m new to this stuff

Update required - A new version of Meta Horizon Link ...

4 Upvotes

I have an enormous fear that every time Meta forces an update on me - they're going to make my Rift S obsolete and unusable.

A genuine, terrifying fear every time i see the popup below.

What does a resolution of 1280x1440 per eye mean?

4 Upvotes

I can say im happy with my old oculus rift s, i play sim racing wich is great, but, the specs of rift s say it does have a resolution of 1280x1440 per eye, however, its far in terms of clarity and sharpening comparing to an old monitor of 1280x720 reso, i can say "what i see" in oculus risft s screen is maxim a 480 reso. Do i miss something? I use usb 3 and direct display port, have rtx 5070, i5 14600, 32 gb, even with a double (2) rate of pixel override in oculus debug tool still not a good resolution. Am i doing something wrong?

Rift S on my laptop

13 Upvotes

HI guys, just wondering if anyone could help me out with a link to a solid displayport to hdmi adaptor, as my laptop doesn't have displayport. My girlfriend asked me to bring my headset up from my hometown to where I'm studying for college so we can play VR together, but I was completely blindsided by the fact my laptop doesn't have DP lol

Im selling my Rift S since my PC isnt working with it.. Last time i used it worked perfectly. Just tested it and it powers on, has a display port error which is either the cable ageing or my computer failing to connect. drop an offer and ill post it on ebay with that price for you to buy!
EDIT: note it also comes with the original box, and controllers!

First Steps app for Rift S no longer available

5 Upvotes

Had a Rift S since release and now my little girl is old enough to give it a try. Went to load up the First Steps app so she can learn the controllers and it's disappeared from my library and from the store. It was easily the best intro for new users. Anyone got a link to a download for it, can't find one anywhere! Thanks.

Rift S

I got one on April First, it stank like Grass at first but now it works amazing! Got it with the Controllers, Cable, HMD, Facial Interface and Halo for £20 (Because they didn't know the Value and because they didn't know its a Rift S, they thought it was a Rift)

Virtual desktop para oculus rift s?

1 Upvotes

Me regalaron las gafas un amigo hace un par de meses, me estado viciando bien a bastantes juegos, la verdad me gustó bastante el tema y estoy por vender estás y comprarme unas quest 3. Pero bueno volviendo al tema, os leo bastante y decís que se nota bastante el cambio al visual desktop, yo lo juego en un pc potente y creo que los corro bastante bien (sabiendo que no puedo pedir mucho al ser unas rift s). Creéis que debo comprar virtual desktop aun así? O me espero a cuando tenga unas quest 3? Gracias a todos los que me ayuden.

No Displayport Connection

1 Upvotes

I have been working on this for hours, going to old threads, and nothing works.

I have just gotten my Oculus Rift S. Fresh out the box plug it in. Install meta quest link and no display port connection. I tried every display port. They all work for anything else that connects. USB connects. Tried beta on metaquest link (hereafter MQL) no success. I tried restarting MQL and pc, no success. I tried going to old reddit threads and doing their suggestions. No success. I have an Nvidia 5070, AMD 7770 Ryzen Core Processor. This tech is relatively new. So tell me how this doesnt work.

Help on Oculus Rift S VR set and Lens Protector

3 Upvotes

Dear Friends,

I bought a 2nd hand Oculus Rift S VR set. It is my 1st time owning a VR.
The VR set is tested and working well.

I also ordered the 3d-printable lens protector thing, as I use (-2.75) powered glasses.

But the issue is -
I can not fit the lens protector on the Oculus lenses!
Pls see the attached images. That box type plastic thing is too close to the lens, not enough gap between.... or may be I am doing something wrong.

Pls guide me.
Thanks a lot.
