general issues

[thayek12]

Hello. I started the early access on 15-Mar-25 and have the following issues:
* General setup:
- Oculus Quest 2 on link cable using USB-C 2 (issues pertain to Oculus Quest 3 using Link cable USB-C 2 and over Airplay too)
- Played only Solo mode so no online aspect beyond what the game needs by itself.

* movement and looking around were not smooth. When moving around in the tutorial, I was often waiting due to lag. My laptop is hardwired to my router so any internet aspect should be considered to be at max upload/download. Based on the recommended specs, i believe my laptop should meet these criteria.

* there is no sound. Laptop sound set to Oculus. Oculus volume turned up and set output on headset. ItR2 set to output to Oculus Headset. However, no sound (whether walking, firing a gun, or otherwise) came thru. Volume set to high. Settings checked over and over to make sure all output was pointing to the Oculus.

Please let me know your initial thoughts as I am finding it difficult to trudge on and complete the first mission based on not being able to hear anything. The non-smooth movement may be acceptable but we will have to see when the scenes get more intense.

There's links to audio trouble shooting.

You say you've tried airplay (airlink?). If wireless is an option, maybe it's worth giving Steamlink a try? It's very easy to install and use.

You can also try setting SteamVR as the active OpenXR runtime in stead of Meta Quest Link.

A dedicated wifi 6 router and Virtual desktop fixed a lot of the problems I was having.

Ditto with me. Also remember that Steam Link is a thing and, while not really customizable, can get the job done just fine- and it's the perfect price (free).
