Oculus Rift S disconnecting while playing SteamVR
Haven't played VR in a while, never had any issues before. Now launching a game through SteamVR makes controller tracking go nuts and then the headset disconnects. Games launched from my oculus library are fine, but games I have to play through Steam do not work. I would love some help or ideas if anyone has any. I don't think it's a power draw issue cause I've never had that issue before. Thanks!

Glad I'm not the only one. I'm also getting this disconnect error and it's getting really annoying. I have no clue how to fix it.

I've been searching for a fix for 4 days now and can't find anything that helps. Everything in my oculus library still runs totally fine, but SteamVR games crash or lose headset racking immediately

I'm able to runs some games flawlessly like H3VR. And then there is games that crash instantly. I'm starting to believe it's just bad drivers for the Rift now that they don't support it at all.

Have you tried the betas for SteamVR? There is one called old oculus windows 7/8 that I found actually helped me get into some games and then broke others but it's worth a try. Also make sure you are opted into the beta on oculus as that can help too. Download Oculus Tray Tool if you don't already have it as that has lots of options that can help.

I'll try the steam beta and the tray tool out! The driver thing I totally could see being an issue. It's unfortunate that they've dropped PCVR for standalone headsets
