I’ve seen some videos and guides but a lot of them are dated back multiple years.

I’m primarily looking for something to use for watching 3D movies.

    Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

    The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.

    Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case

      I thought it might be a loose connection or a cable issue as well but I’ve tried reseating them and also using an externally powered USB hub because I’ve heard that can fix some issues.

      Don’t you need Meta’s software to setup the headset and get your computer to recognize it?

        Likely just a usb bandwidth limit you are hitting, try unplugging other devices that arent in use, I had this issue with my rift cv1 Edit* Also plug your rift directly into a usb 3.0 port on your motherboard, hubs even powered ones can cause issues with high bandwidth devices

          I have tried that. I unplugged everything except a wireless keyboard I used to navigate the menus and it didn’t help

            Odd last troubleshooting thing I can think of is to try plugging it into one of your front panel usbs since they are usually using a separate usb controller. Otherwise you might just have a defective unit

              Due it being like this since I got it, an intermittent issue, and a common issue online I don’t think it is the unit. Killing Oculus’ software and restarting it would occasionally get it to work so I feel like it might be that. I spent sometime reading Oculus Support threads and others shared my suspicions.

              My only other thought would have been my motherboard or power supply. My CPU, GPU, and RAM should be enough.
