Fortunately, you can use a generic USB-C 3.0 cable, but you still want one that uses high-quality materials and features excellent shielding. There's no point in trying to enjoy better PC visuals if your cable degrades the picture quality. You want a 3M cable at a minimum to make sure you can still walk around to experience standing and some room-scale features.

It has said any good quality USB-C cable will do, but it's worth checking. Second, try restarting your PC or laptop, as that can sometimes fix issues with graphics cards that aren&#39;t as well supported as others.

For more help, check out the official Quest Plus Link support section. How to Fix the Oculus Quest Black Screen of Death While PC experiences can still benefit from inside-out tracking without external sensors, you will be tethered to your PC by cable, so your VR playspace may be substantially smaller. You don&#39;t have to worry about battery life in quite the same way, though.
