Damned oculus update made half life alyx unplayable

[Clarencezer]

♥♥♥♥ man was enjoying the game so much, just encountered the big combine dude for the first time that made it frightening decided to play tonight after work but was prompted by an oculus software update.

Very strange update, had to restart the software multiple times till It no longer prompted me to. Now as soon as i come back to play my saved game my hands freeze in place or whenever I shoot a gun while gripping it with both hands it goes into a tracking issue mode and just spazzes out.

Any idea how to rollback this oculus rift s driver or firmware thing so that I could play?

[Edit 01: 28/03/2020 12:03am] - I'm on an Oculus Rift S, Firmware Version 2.2.0 / Oculus app version 14.0.0.170.710

[Edit 02: 28/03/2020 10:19am] - Hello friends, I'm not asking for a comparison between Vive and Oculus Rift S thanks! I simply wish to find ways to eliminate my issues in order to continue playing Half life Alyx!

I had no update from Oculus today.. My game is working okay. I have the Oculus Rift S.

My recommended settings suddenly went from high to low yesterday, and even then the game was choppy... Restarting it didnt change anything and it kept crashing after some minutes.
However, I tried loading a save from the beginning of the level and the settings went to high again after I resetted them, everything runs fine now.
Maybe you should try loading an earlier save?
Running on Rift CV1 btw.

I had no update today.
Are you maybe partaking in the beta program? You can check this unter settings Beta. If so, try deactivating it (software will then downgrade to the regular version, including drivers and all).

Hey man I tried that and noticed it was better but the hand movements got choppy and still gripping weapons with both hands and cocking back the shotgun bolt causing this strange spazzing in movement as if the tracking goes bad.

Don't know why but everything was fine initially.

Are you guys plugged into a USB 3.1 port ( blue) or 3.1A port (red). Don't plug it into a USB 2 port ( black).

Aye my man I'm trying all kinds of fixes, definitely on a USB 3 port.

Unplug your rift's usb connector, restart pc, plug it back in, play all day.

It has some weirdness. It keeps telling me my RTX2080S doesn't have enough VRAM. Game still seems to run fine though.

I have a 2080S too, the message was gone after I've increased the page file size(why? Idk)

Ah, The oculus is actually the best option for new comers for VR, It's actually better than HTC Vive, It has higher resolution, LCD display with 3 sub pixels per pixel, a newer USD version and has touch controllers over motion controllers.

The Vive is close to oculus Rift S lenses and display but far from it's advanced tracking. The only other VR set out there that is over the Rift S is the Index and for display the primax. other than that the oculus has one of the best rated tracking and screens out there.

You shouldn't waste your time with some random post with no argument...
