If you’re running into random glitches with your Oculus device such as Oculus Rift or Sensor, there may be something wrong with your Oculus driver. To fix the issue and leverage the full power of your VR gears, you should upate your Oculus driver to the latest version, and here are two options for you:
Option 1 – Manually – You’ll need some computer skills and patience to update your drivers this way, because you need to find the exactly right driver online, download it and install it step by step.
OR
Option 2 – Automatically (recommended) – This is the quickest and easiest option. It’s all done with just a couple of mouse clicks – easy even if you’re a computer newbie.
Option 1 – Download and install the driver manually
Device manufacturers will regularly update their drivers to fix bugs or add new features. To get the right Oculus driver, you’ll need to install the Oculus app on your PC. Here’s the detailed guide:
- Go to the official support page of Oculus.
- Scroll through the page to find your Oculus model and click Download Software to initiate the download process.
- Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
- Plug your Oculus device into the computer. Then the Oculus app should automatically detect it and install the appropriate driver.
If this method doesn’t meet your needs, try the easier option below.
Optin 2 – Automatically update the Oculus driver (recommended)

Руководство по установке драйверов
Важное: На Windows 11 возможно потребуется отключить проверку подписи драйверов. Как это сделать
Первый способ:
Отключаем кабель от шлема.
Скачиваем официальный установщик драйверов Oculus: oculus-drivers-1.71.0.000017-w10.zip
(этот пакет входит в состав приложения для ПК — Oculus Home.)
Распаковываем и стартуем файл oculus-driver.exe. Никаких сообщений вы не увидите, но если зайти в Диспетчер задач, то в списке процессов обнаружите его. Как только он исчезнет из списка — драйверы установлены.
Подключаем кабель к шлему и идем в Диспетчер устройств. Раскрываем раздел Oculus Device, должна быть такая картинка:
Новая версия Meta Quest Link может установить драйверы с другим названием:
(если Режим разработчика не включен, устройства Compiste ADB Interface вы не увидите, будет только один пункт — Composite XRSP Interface)
Второй способ (ручная установка):
Скачиваем драйверы с сайта Oculus: https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-adb-drivers/
Распаковываем их.
Подключаем кабель к шлему
Заходим в Диспетчер устройств, в раздел Oculus Device и пробуем подсунуть их по-очереди к устройству с восклицательным знаком.
Добиваемся, чтобы получилось как на картинке выше.
Второй с половиной способ: в распакованных драйверах находим файл android_winusb.inf, кликаем на него правой кнопкой мыши — Установить.
Третий способ: Скачиваем Quas, последовательно нажимаем пункты: J — V — P. Драйверы будут установлены автоматически, в зависимости от установленной операционной системы ПК.
В декабре прошлого года мы выпустили подробный гайд о подключении Oculus Quest 2 к ПК. За это время многое успело измениться. Нужно обсудить некоторые моменты, которые возникли в 2022 году. Что за ошибка «Невозможно установить связь с сервером Oculus» и что с этим делать?
Видео-версия:
Многие из вас догадались, что потеря связи с сервером связана с блокировкой Facebook* в России. Блокировка коснулась и ничего плохого не совершившей виртуальной реальности, потому что практически все сервера FB находятся в запрещенной в нашей стране организации. К счастью, достать «волшебную пилюлю» не так сложно.
Подключение Oculus Quest 2 к ПК: Oculus Link
Что потребуется:
◉ Гарнитура Oculus Quest 2;
◉ Совместимый компьютер/ноутбук;
◉ Программное обеспечение Oculus;
◉ Кабель Oculus Link.
О совместимом компьютере/ноутбуке:
Вы можете посмотреть, совместим ли ваш компьютер с Quest 2 на официальном сайте, но минимальная конфигурация сильно занижена. В статье про VR Ready компьютеры мы подобрали реальные минимальные характеристики.
О кабеле Oculus Link:
Для подключения потребуется специальный кабель с пометкой Link. Кабель от смартфона не подойдет, поскольку ему не хватит скорости передачи данных. Тип кабеля зависит от наличия разъемов в вашем ПК: USB-C – USB-C или USB-C – USB 3.0.
Шаг 1. Скачайте «пилюлю».
Скачайте любой действующий «сервис, который нельзя популяризовать с 1 марта» на компьютер. Вы можете попробовать бесплатный доступ на 1 день. Он потребуется всего один раз на этап установки софта.
Шаг 2. Скачайте официальное приложение Oculus.
Перейдите по этой ссылке, спуститесь чуть ниже и нажмите синюю кнопку «Download software». Для того, чтобы зайти на страницу, потребуется «сервис, который нельзя называть».
Установите приложение. После успешной установки приступаем к настройке гарнитуры.
Шаг 3. Включите шлем и подключите его кабелем к разъему USB 2.0/3.0.
Для настройки технически подойдет USB 2.0, но при запуске игр переподключите к 3.0 на материнской плате (сзади корпуса). От переднего USB 3.0 соединение может быть нестабильным в дешевых корпусах!
Наденьте шлем и нажмите «запретить доступ данных».
Шаг 4. Выберите способ подключения Link (кабель).
В ПО после подключения у вас появится окно выбора способа подключения. Выберите первый.
При успешном соединении загорится зеленая галочка. Нажмите продолжить несколько раз до завершения настройки.
Шаг 5. Наденьте гарнитуру.
В главном меню нажмите на Quest Link и далее «запустить». Вы должны оказываться в белом пространстве Rift.
Шаг 6. Включаем «Неизвестные источники» и играем в Steam-игры.
Важный нюанс! Для запуска игр из Steam вам нужно включить один ползунок.
Открываем ПО Oculus, заходим в «Настройки» во вкладку «Общие». Активируйте «Неизвестные источники».
После этого штриха запускаем Steam и скачиваем SteamVR. По завершению загрузки, открываем его и всегда держим в оверлее.
Теперь вы можете запускать любую игру для Rift или Steam на Oculus Quest 2 по кабелю.
Компьютер не видит шлем. Что делать?
Вариантов может быть много. Самое элементарное:
● Сбой в ПО. Попробуйте выдернуть кабель и заново подключить к ПК. Переустановите приложение Oculus на ПК. Перезагрузите Oculus Quest 2.
● Бракованный кабель. Подключайте Quest 2 к компьютеру только через кабель с пометкой Link. Софт Oculus не видит кабели от смартфонов, планшетов и т.п. Если вы купили кабель Link на вторичном рынке у подозрительного продавца, есть вероятность, что вас обманули.
● Компьютер не подходит для VR. Возможно, у компьютера устаревшая конфигурация, либо не подходит для VR. Сверяйтесь с официальным сайтом.
О беспроводном способе мы расскажем в одной из следующих статей. У наших клиентов, подписчиков в Telegram и YouTube накопилось очень много вопросов по подключению через Air Link, поэтому логичнее будет сделать полноценный FAQ по всем возможным проблемам.
