Could someone explain how any of this makes sense?
So, on my quest 3s that worked completely fine for the past week, ever since this morning when i run steam link normally i get an almost fully pink graph, aka dropped frames afaik.
Then i try ALVR and i get no pink lines but i get a lot of latency (like 6ms out of 8ms or something, which is much higher than it was before iirc) and stutters, moving my head too fast makes everything jittery.
Then i try SteamVR through VD and then i get a normal latency but a lot of red and yellow on the graph.
And airlink just kinda sucks, like it ain't SUPER bad but it isn't even close to how smooth Steam Link worked yesterday.
How the fuck does every option give me a different issue. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE YESTERDAY, i did no driver updates on my GPU, no windows updates, no SteamVR updates, no Quest updates so what the fuck happened?
I've been troubleshooting this problem all day and nothing has worked, updating my WIFI and Lan drivers didn't do anything, updating my BIOS didn't do anything, factory resetting my quest didn't do anything, reinstalling SteamVR and SteamLink didn't do anything, trying to use SteamVR's older version didn't do anything.
I hope that when i wake up tomorrow this was all just a bad dream cause what the fuck is going on.
