oculus rift s controller no haptic feedback after update

[Morpheus]

after an update a day ago my controllers wont vibrate in ANY game inside steamVR, either beat saber, arizona sunshine, pistol whip, etc, 3 days ago it worked just fine, but now it doesnt
it does vibrate in the steamvr menues, and it does work perfectly in any oculus game, but it doesnt when I play in steamvr, i tested every steamvr beta, except the mac ones, did a clean install of the oculus meta quest link, uninstall and reinstall steamvr, nothing
anyone has any idea or same issue?

The number of those affected is increasing rapidly. So I hope that those who are responsible for this get their asses up and start fixing it. I assume this is directly related to the Oculus Rift S version. After reading from others that reinstalls don't help, I didn't even do it, waste of time.

Same issue! fixed it (huzzah!) by changing the OpenXR to Steam via the SteamVR setting menu.

that OpenXR config are not present from the vr itself, i had to switch to desktop with the headset connected, i found how to change it somewhere

When you run steam vr switch to desktop and then there should be somewhere a little box window saying something like steam vr running, click on that little box windows top left, there you see three “_” hamburger letter click on that and there you select settings. Thats the new location of open xr

i now have haptic feedback on every steamvr game, not just beatsaber

Okay, it's super simple.

Open up SteamVR through Steam - if you don't see it in your list you'll need to make sure that Tools are ticked in the drop down at the top of your library.

On your desktop, go into the little SteamVR window that pops up. It'll have icons for your headset, controllers etc. On this window, click the three lines in top left corner. Then click Settings.

In the Settings screen, go to the OpenXR option. In here it'll tell you what the current default is, and if it isn't SteamVR already, you'll have a button that says "Set SteamVR as OpenXR Runtime"

Click that button, you might need to confirm it with Windows first. Then just give your games/vr setup a restart just to be safe, and away you go.

Hopefully that's helped! I'm replying 'cause this sorted the issue for me as well and the more that see it, the better.

I am happy to report that it should work again even without SteamVR:
Now (March 2025) with the most recent version of the Meta Quest Link-App 74.0.0.675.347, they brought back Controller Vibrations on Rift S when using Oculus / Meta Quest Link as the active OpenXR runtime!

What has always worked is using SteamVR as OpenXR runtime.

I recommend people to download this Meta Quest Link update, and then use Windows Defender Firewall to block the Oculus/Meta software from accessing the internet. This is the only way to avoid those forced auto updates I know of. Of course, then you won't be able to update Oculus PCVR games as well.
Here is the list of .exe files I blocked (maybe not all of them are necessary):
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-remote-desktop\RemoteDesktopCompanion.exe
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-client\OculusClient.exe
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-dash\dash\bin\OculusDash.exe
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-platform-runtime\oculus-platform-runtime.exe
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\OVRredir.exe
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\OVRServer_x64.exe
C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\OVRServiceLauncher.exe
