Entry into the VR world.

My controllers are still in the box.

2 days now and this set up makes me look like a friggin moron! My pc has plenty of juice to run this cartoon graphic game. I think it is the quest 3 link SW that is the issue.  It loses connection, when I look around the little hour glass spins. I started mapping from scratch and the settings do not hold.  Is there any other sw that will work with the tether? I have the correct cable. I am about ready to return this turd to best buy! I want something that connects through the displayport on graphics card.
My 4060 has plenty of power to run this game

What were the results of the USB cable link test?

Check your audio settings, the quest 3 mic makes my AH lag out. So I use headphones connected to my pc for game audio and mic, not the quest ones.

You may have hit the nail on the head!  I removed the batteries and now I can make some progress.

I went through a couple of usb-c cables for my quest2 because paying $80 to occulus for theorem cable seems like robbery...

But I haven't found a decent one that actually charges the headset enough while I play so I have to manually charge it every 4 days or so for my one hour of AH nightly...

If you want to upgrade you are probably over half way in $$$ to a Pimax Crystal Light...it connects to the graphics port , has much better resolution and sound when you graphics the DMAS earpiece upgrade..

Good luck with your vr as I think the experience is more than worth the hassle and expense..

Basics.....

When you log in the game in VR, after the login page, check the "video settings" to be sure your headset is on the right graphic card on your computer.

Next, not all headset cables are the same. Some are slow, some dont charge worth a crap, and others just fail now and then. I use...

With this USB-C powered hub

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C36LS9TC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

USB-C ports are the fastest, and with the powered hub I get a good steady supply to the headset.

If you are not using a USB-C port, be sure you are using the 10Gbps USB ports, they are "teal blue" not the regular blue of most USB ports. The regular ports are only 5Gbps speed and so will give you trouble with  not enough band width. If using the USB port this cable is an option.

I havent used this one but I have seen a number of "comparison" videos and this one always rates high. It connects through the USB 10Gbps port and to the headset, but has the charging block in-line. Add a USB-C cable to a fast charging plug and it should keep the headset charged while you play, even for long sessions.

I dont have any trouble with the headset speakers, but the mic was always too low. I added a lapel mic...

And attached it to the side strap and it works great.

Thank you all for the help, I am finally flying! Main issue was the hand controllers, once batteries were removed I was able to navigate in the VR world!
So far my direct connect via USBC seems very stable, I ordered one of the cables that charges and moves data at the same time.  The micro freezes when keying mic seem to also be resolved by using my PC headset.  Now I need to get over the motion sickness, I hear that is normal for the first week.

A small desk fan blowing in your face might help get over the motion sickness..

Another way is to play Jet Island on steam as it's vr motion sensation is 100x stronger in that game on its hover board than AH vr is at its worse..

For my Quest 3 I use this USB cable: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0F1CMG4BF?th=1

And this charger: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charger-iPhone-Galaxy-MacBook/dp/B0DMFFK5LV

My Quest 3 is plugged directly into the USB 3 port on my PC, and this charger sits inline so the battery never drops any charge when I'm playing on my PC.

The micro freezes when keying mic seem to also be resolved by using my PC headset.

I've ended up using a USB mic on my desk as I got sick of my headset falling off when I'm looking up. So I end up using my Quest audio for sound output and the USB mic for vox.
