    For people that start to have audio issues over ~600 Mbps, try turning off the audio from the quest 3 and get the audio from headphones connected to the PC separately instead (say with bluetooth). This worked for me, allowed me to crank the bit rate beyond 600!

      Whenever i get jitter again, the main game window pops in front of the console window and the on/off trick doesn't always work either. Now i've turned off vsync globally. But i'll test later tonight, have stuff to do, if the jitter doesn't come back i'll be playing the whole time :p

When i right click on the sound icon, the Start taskbar stays open, doesn't go back to the game mirror and stops jittering. I don't know what to make of all of this, last test i'm gonna do is keep the taskbar open without the console window.

It never fails, just always works. But i do miss the resolution from the quest 3. I think i would use it more if it worked more like the index without need for controllers and activating link manually every time. Just start the game from steam and put on the headset and i'm good to go, just like the index. Is there anyway i can get the quest 3 to work like that? Best Regards

  • @OwenHuges
    @OwenHuges 3 місяці тому

    Thanks Ham, this is really useful, and will hopefully help me win my battle to get my quest 3 and pc to link to each other. One thing which confuses me slightly: at 3:46 you have a picture of how you add extra power to the cable using that Kuject cable via a separate charging port. From the picture, it appears the the USB-c cable is plugged into the charging port, so does that mean you then plug the “normal” usb part into a normal usb connection on your pc?
    I’ve bought the BoboVR M3 Pro Battery pack and face cover and the UGREEN Quest VR Link cable - but so far I have not been able to get the q3 to recognise my PC when I plug the cable into the USB-c slot in my motherboard. That slot worked for my old Reverb G2 (which sadly just stopped working completely a few weeks ago - refuses to power up at all and is now long out of warranty) but using the Meta (which I think is just the oculus rebranded) software, I just can’t get the cable link to work, and my wifi is too slow for AirLink (plus, as I use VR solely for sim racing, I much prefer a cable connection anyway.) So I’m wondering if I need to purchase something similar to the Kuject charging port you have shown? If yes, I’ll use your link (as I would be very surprised if any shops here in Perth, Australia stock it) - but I just need to check about the USB part first. Have I understood correctly? Ie if I use the charging port will I need to connect to a normal USB on my pc rather than the USB-c port?
    Finally, is that port only available with the Kuject cable? Or could I potentially use another charging port (given I already have the UGREEN cable)?
    Sorry for all these questions, but your videos are so helpful, and I’m determined to get this q3 working if at all possible!

    • @OwenHuges
      @OwenHuges 3 місяці тому

      Just to add, after following your instructions, I’ve got it working, so thanks a million. But I’m still a bit unsure how often and how I’ll need to recharge the battery. And also if it might help with performance to add the charging port? I’ve not yet touched anything much at all, and AMS2 worked perfectly, but iRacing will need a bit of tweaking as I’m currently getting only 70 fps. But I haven’t really started tweaking at all yet, so hopefully I’ll get there.
      Thanks again for this video though: before I followed your suggestions I was completely stuck, and now it’s working. I’m massively relieved - and extremely grateful. Thank you again.

      Very nice. Personally I'll stick to 90Hz as I don't like the trade off of squeezing more frames (at 120Hz) into the same or less bit rate, the codec compression becomes more apparent to me. This is where dedicated display port headsets really shine, compared to compressed video solutions.

    not sure i understood right, you said that the cable with the charger was fine on quest 2 but we are talking about quest 3 here... shows as 18w over the quest 2 10w. does that means that if i use the cable with quest 3 it will melt the cable or quest 3 while using it?

    • @HamVR
      @HamVR  10 місяців тому

      I’m saying that the Quest 3 consumes more power the Quesr 2, 18w. The USB power output of most PCs is typically 15w, so you will need a USB cable that allows for additional power adaptor input to maintain charge while you use it wired to your PC. You can turn the screen brightness down and disable WiFi to extend game play time also. The USB cable that comes in box is too short to use for wired PCVR mode, but is fine for charging the Quest 3 when not in use.

      Are you trying to spectate a Quest 3 standalone game? Unfortunately there is no great way to do that. You can try Side Quest screen copy but there's a lot of steps to follow to setup. Alternatively upgrading your Wifi router to 6e and having it the same room as the Quest 3 would help with the choppyness. If your PC is plugged into the same router you can try cast to computer option as per this video

    Last week I purchased the QUEST 3. I am very overwhelmed in that I love it, but on the other hand experience many problems. The games (I have about ten of them) stutter after a few minutes, which is frustrating. So I bought a video cable for the QUEST 3, putting it into use wasn't exactly easy either, but more or less succeeded after I finally got confirmation via Firefox. This confirmation did not succeed because Firefox is not compatible with the QUEST LINK. Now the image freezes after a few minutes when I use Steamlink via the QUEST LINK cable.

    Great video. What confuses me is. They are not using direct dp port to video card. Instead opted for usbc with software to video card interpolation. What's the point in using a graphics card? Meta should have done a better job with that. Usb C video rendering is a waste of cpu power...

    • @HamVR
      @HamVR  Рік тому

      It's not the cable, its the power adaptor. The Quest 3 ships with a 18w charger (Quest 2 charger is only 10w). You can get longer game time if you turn off WiFi and turn the screen brightness down to half and run at 72Hz or 80Hz. Otherwise, you will need higher rated adaptor or USB with PD. Some user have said 30w is enough, but there is no official guidance I can find.

      If you use a USB cable that also lets you plug in the 18w power adaptor that comes with the Quest 3 e.g. via a T junction (like Kuject or Syntech cables) that should give you several hours of play. Also if you turn the brightness down and disable WiFi it will last even longer. A typical PC USB connection alone does not output enough power unless it also has Power Delivery mode (which is rare).
