New link pair

[Geekz360]

I have gotten a new PC, however my headset still searches for the old one and will not unpair even after unlinking from old pc. How do i relink my oculus quest 2 to my new pc?

I would try just uninstalling the Steam link app on the quest and then reinstalling it. It doesn't seem to remember the pairing if you do that so it would ask you to set it up again

The Steam Link app can pair to multiple PCs without any issue.

It is likely a software or configuration issue on your PC. We've recorded all of the known causes for failure to connect on our FAQ page here: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0E2C-406B-9135-38A4 under "Troubleshooting" under "If you cannot connect try".

Please let us know if any of those issues resolve your issue.

In addition, please let us know what router (model number) you are using and how your network is configured, so we can see if we can either reproduce or otherwise solve your issue. Also, since this involves your PC, what PC you have (GPU/CPU/Computer Model)

I reinstalled several times however this didn’t change anything and it still looked for the previous connection. However, after leaving the headset on for 30 minutes or so in the steam link app after connection fail, it eventually discovered my new PC and I was able to solve the issue. Thanks

No. This is a complete lie. Once you open the Steam Link App in the Quest 2 it looks for your previous PC. If it can't find it it tells you to remove the headset and go check your previous pc, that you are logged on and that it is on. It will not show you any way to unlink that one and link a new one. And it most certainly does not tell you that you can link another computer either.

If there are multiple Steam Link VR - compatible PCs running Steam on your LAN and there is no other confounding network issue, all of those PCs will be visible within your headset. If you have previously paired to any of those PCs, you can click on them and stream.

If you have previously connected to a PC only that last PC will be shown, even if it is not connectable.

If you are seeing other behavior, please articulate a test case, so we can investigate.
