Not used my Index for about 3 weeks now. Quest 3 is now my daily driver. Air link over my regular wifi is perfectly adequate. (my router is only 2m away). Some things do work better through Virtual Desktop, though. Only downside is battery life. On it's own, it will only last 1.5 hours at best at full settings. Most of the time, I will run it with a 25000mah 30W battery in my back pocket with a magsafe cable. Keeps it charged up, but it will drop 1% every 10 minutes or so. But it still enough to go for hours at a time. Charge level was still at 91% after an hour of Gorn. Still on my original controller batteries as well. Not sure what sorcery they used to make them last as long as they do. Index controllers batteries would have depleted about 15 times over.
This is for the people at the lower end of the pc scale, airlink for me runs laggy and horrible, 3600x and entry level 4060. I bought virtual desktop and it runs amazing. Works fine wired in. I think airlink uses tbe gpu much harder so for anyone having trouble with pcvr buying virtual desktop could be the answer for you as well.
What’s your internet like? I heard it needs wifi 6 and a good router to work well. Mine gets here in a few days and I have a wifi 6 high end gaming router, 4070ti and 11700k, and hoping it’ll perform well. Otherwise I’ll just buy VD lol
I have a really high-end computer yet airlink takes up 40% GPU usage on idle, however, VRD on the other hand not only uses up 18% on desktop but also has crystal clear visuals, especially when using the HEVC codec. My set arrived about 2 weeks ago and although it's amazing, I'm waiting for my M3 Pro to arrive so I can get back into true VR with the addition of no cable problems. I had a RiftS prior but over my 400+ hours sunk into steamVR with it, stressing myself out not to step on or get twirled up in the cable every time I played, tethered VR just really isn't worth it in the slightest. You could offer me a bigscreen beyond with all valve peripherals but I would still prefer the true wireless Q3 over it.
thanks, i have a quest on rental and virtual desktop is installed already so just needed the stream app off website for my laptop. my laptop isnt great but i wanted a chance to play around with virtual desktop. im having trouble with airlink finding my pc but virtual desktop works fine
This was useful to get my Quest 3 up and running with my PC. Going to play Asgard's Wrath and then Half-Life Alyx. I never did PCVR with my older Quest 2, so will see how it goes. Thanks!
VD is only better if you don't know how to properly setup Link and Air Link. I find both work well and while I prefer Air Link, this is mainly just a personal preference thing imho.
I just randomly thought of your channel putting on my headset and remember you convincing me to buy a quest and then a quest 2 you basically got me into vr and without you my quest 3 wouldn’t be coming in the mail thank you nathie
i did evevrything up to getting and downloading the firmware, i ddownload but then it says cant connect, it looks like we cant reach the oculus server, please check your connection
Is there some way to for example play the Steam version of Beat Saber without needing to pay for it and make it so in the future you don't need pc in order to play it?
Why nobody mention that quest store and pcvr store are different and you have to re-buy the game and you are limited to a specific range of games on pcvr you can’t just play any game why all youtubers showing only the best part which if you as me it is not !
Does anyone have or have had an issue where you click launch in the Airlink menu in the Quest 3 but then three loading balls appear and just stay there? It just loads and loads but nothing ever appears for me. I’ve tried so many troubleshooting methods and talked to meta support but still no luck. And I’m pretty confident that my hardware is good enough to run airlink/pcvr, but it still doesn’t.
Is there no way to play without air link though? The Meta 3 has 128 or 512 Gigs of storage, I would have thought most games should be portable straight in there so you don't have to rely on any air link.
The issue is when I connect the ethernet, then my Quest 3 headset doesn't pick up my Wifi which prevents me from being connected to Quest Air Link. I tried using the D-Link Air Bridge & it works except now I cannot connect to Steam VR. When I I tried sharing in Network settings, etc and it does not work.
I can't connect the OC3 to the PC via air link. it does not reach the stage where the six-digit code appears. The time on the video is 3:21. A pop-up window appears here and asks you to restart the headset or restart the application in the Beta settings. at the same time, everything works when connected via cable. Help me, what should I do?
Hello. Since 3 weeks, i couldn't use oculus software, 3 white points appear on my headvr. I just buy an airlink cable same issue. I did to uninstall oculus software via safety windows parameters but not fix. What's going on, have you an explaination?. Thank you.
i have a quest on rental, i can use virtual desktop on my pc very easily as its installed on the rented headset and that application works fine, i have log in details for oculus app for pc to use too. im having trouble with the airlink finding my pc within the oculus app though, any thoughts people? can i just go to steam vr through virtual desktop and do it this way
So I already bought fnaf vr 1 and beat saber on the non air link meta store, is there any way that I can redownload it on the air link without having to repay and transfer the data?
in 3:17, there is no computer there, even though both the computer and headset are conected to the same wifi, is the ethernet cable necesary for airlink to function?
I am selling my Valve index for this, the fact that this is basically a plug and play system for VR games both on the quest and steam vr is awesome. The Valve Index is just requires too many items just to play VR.
As I'm using this guide i had the oculus app in the background downloading and the sound took over in the headset while you were talking about audio problems. I swear i thought you did it on purpose lol
Thank you so much, You deserved a subscribe here bro Can you please tell me mention the games were used in the video? Plus, I really think we need updated version of this
I wish one day there would be a app that in mixed reality you have loads of different dj lighting and obviously a light controller you can place the lights anywhere in your living room once your vr set has scanned the room then just slap your headphones on with a bit of techno a few stellers down your neck and good to go. ..your very own rave. I mean a couple moving head lights some strobes a laser some wash lights all in mixed vr...........how lovely lol.
What PC VR game are you planning to play first?
half life alyx, boneworks, Roblox💀
NATHIE I LOVE YOUR VIDS THEY HELP SO MUCH THANK YOU!
Fortnite 😂
I think my first 3 on the Quest back in the day were Alyx, Stormland and Lone Echo
Half life alyx

How do I get a virtual desktop
@@KingZolomonfrom the quest store you can find it witu apps
I was a bit confused. I can already do all of this on virtual desktop. Is there anything here for us who already have VD?

Steam VR performance test is no longer available. Update on a replacement to check?

I did pcvr with the quest 2 it worked great but the quest 3 is much better
yeah, I try this on my brother quest 2, BUT! if you have bad router the feeling from the game can not be the best
can you do pac man vr from 1996 in meta quest 3?
Virtual Desktop is much better

Same, except Quest 2 was my first and I buy my Quest 3 in March
I tried Quest 3 a few weeks ago. Really impressive. How are you enjoying it?
@@user-sy3el1yy2m I basically don’t use it I got into The Finals and I rarely play vr games

5:32 Audio Issues
This usually happens when you switch from Virtual Desktop to Oculus
Is that a Super73 ebike In the background?
7:59 If I use wired connection to PC, will the device charging?
no

Steam vr performance test isnt there for me?
it was taken out of the store this week.
It's there any way to fix the stuttering issue and the controller performances?
@Nathie SteamVR Performance Test is no longer available on the Steam store. That's what I saw when I checked out your link for testing
Hope it returns for the new Steam Link feature but for now you will have to use Meta's Air Link page for reference.
can you play hunting unlimited 2010 on steamvr?
bro. did you take off the quest 3 to tipp something into your laptop? why not use passthrough XD
Is there some way to for example play the Steam version of Beat Saber without needing to pay for it and make it so in the future you don't need pc in order to play it?
ik im a bit late but i tried the metas version of steam vr desktop view and it is still pretty bad
Why nobody mention that quest store and pcvr store are different and you have to re-buy the game and you are limited to a specific range of games on pcvr you can’t just play any game why all youtubers showing only the best part which if you as me it is not !
I just wanna know if i could play normal games on steam deck or laptop and watch youtube and movies. don't care about the vr part for now.
airlink doesn’t work, can anybody help? i am on quest 3
Nice video
wadda bout NO FUCKING AIRLINK
Well that didn't age well ;p
Notice: SteamVR Performance Test is no longer available on the Steam store.
Air Link is still operational but I agree Steam Link has just made other streaming options irrelevant.
SteamVR Performance Test is not available through Steam anymore :/
steamvr performance test is no longer on steam :(
🤝👍🇳🇱🇳🇱
No mention of oculus debug tool. Personally I found without making changes in Oculus debug tool I got many artefacts and a pretty poor video quality.

my pc didnt show up on the airlink
What quality of router do I need? I think mine is Wi-fi 5, and everywhere I've seen talks only of Wi-fi 6 and 6e.
what's the game of the minute 1:55?
I'm even more confused now. Do I use Quest Link or Steam Link to play Steam on my quest 3? I thought I needed both and it...crashed spectacularly.
i cant open the browser
….mate
My quest 3 does not want to connect to my pc
I know this is for air link but, when I use a link cable it says usb 3 connection recommend, I can’t find a fix
Nvm I got it, I dint see a usb 3 port on back, good video by the way
Thank you bro for help
how do i get a better video encoder
This vid has been so goodd!!!! Most FPS has been achieved and i can finally play half life alyx again!!
Is there no way to play without air link though?
The Meta 3 has 128 or 512 Gigs of storage, I would have thought most games should be portable straight in there so you don't have to rely on any air link.

With this can you get blade and sorcery or do you need steam vr?
You can get blade and sorcery on standalone
Can you mod on here

Why does my headset disconnect from my WiFi when using Oculus Air Link?
So if I dont also buy a $1200 Gaming PC on top of my new Quest 3 then I'm shitoutta luck ?
well...its not working for me, followed exactly as you did to do this stupid air link thing and it keeps giving me some bullshit error
I think half life alyx is the best game ever made. The add-ons are awesome also. The John Wick add on is good
It says to go to default browser to continue and nothing happens so I'm stuck
Nice video. Better and quicker tips than alot of more popular videos
anyone have issues installing the oculus setup? Mine won't install...keeps saying cannot connect to server
Question !!! Don't we need to install verpx/Luke Rose ??? +_+
Just what i needed, thanks :D
I want to know about Like Cable, Does Meta Quest 3 compatible with Oculus Quest 2 Link Cable?
Yes works with all Quest headsets
can i play apex on steam with it?
My eyes JOLTED to the life sized big daddy in the background 😂
Just tried to download Steam VR Performace test and it has already been removed from the steam store
Take off your headset? the whole passthrough thing is so you don't have to do that anymore! lol

I’m bought the game for 20 bucks on the website and then it says I still need to add the steam app to my pc still
Can you play pc games without steam?
yeah
when i enable unknown sources it just has a loading thing on the side and it wont enable
Can I use Steam or Air Link with a MacBook?
mine ran with my quest 2 but now its not working with quest 3
So I already bought fnaf vr 1 and beat saber on the non air link meta store, is there any way that I can redownload it on the air link without having to repay and transfer the data?
Can i play non VR games on steam by using this Air Link?

@@nathieoh that flat video games, thanks
in 3:17, there is no computer there, even though both the computer and headset are conected to the same wifi, is the ethernet cable necesary for airlink to function?
And Valve Just released a SteamLink VR App, so we don't need to layer apps like Airlink or DesktopVR to use SteamVR anymore !
a very exciting milestone!
What do I do when I try connecting to air link I am only get a loading screen
I am selling my Valve index for this, the fact that this is basically a plug and play system for VR games both on the quest and steam vr is awesome. The Valve Index is just requires too many items just to play VR.
I’ll buy your index for 300 lol
So AirLink works with Electronic Arts launcher ? even if i lauch per example Squadrons from steam?
As long as you launch it through Steam it works fine.
Cool , thank you@@nathie
What is your video card?
so helpful thank you!!!

Thanks for such a detailed video. It went well beyond on how to set up air-link. Great tips for a newbie like me
why is mesh a no no?

How do you download it on phone or xbox

updated the link, thanks!
Unfortunately, the SteamVR Performance Test has just been taken out of the Steam Store... Just 5 hours ago 🙃
Nooooo 😭

So AIRLINK is works better on the Meta 3 then the Meta 2 ???
