Meta Quest Link isn't working correctly

[Eagler]

I got that message last night after running an update my quest 2 stated I had pending..

Spent the hour last night trying to get it working and finally found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/1qggd3s/meta_quest_link_isnt_working_correctly_error_all/

I had to turn off wifi, disconnect the network cable then run link app ... the link cable would then work as removing internet access blocked some check that is breaking it..

There's a link in that link that tells you what occulus file needs to be blocked in windows


At least I have a work around now..

Thanks for this post, Eagler.  I had the same problem with my Quest 3 unable to start Link and stuck in an update loop.   The instructions in the link worked, and I have also set up an Outbound Rule in Windows Firewall to block OculusDash.exe.   I was about ready to try a factory reset so I'm glad I ran into your post.

Boy, the people on Reddit sure don't think much of Meta.  I guess must be well deserved.  I wonder if Meta laying off so much of its VR staff last week had anything to do with the bad update?

I seem to be vr headset cursed as I had my pimax Crystal Light brick on me last week with a firmware update..

Glad each was only a temporary inconvenience..
