Hi all – thanks for voting for this idea. The static / white flash issue on Rift S was resolved with the 1.39.1 software update that went out last month. If you are still experiencing similar similar issues after receiving this software update, please contact Oculus support!

    This is unacceptable lenght of time for this not to haver been fixed. Going to return. because of flashes and IPD adjustment is frankly **** I can get one eye or the other never both.

    I have these white screen flashes several times a session. Is it faulty hardware, drivers, the cable connection or maybe static electricity buildup from the cable dragging on the ground?

    I don't know, but it needs to be fixed.

    A month and a half waiting for the flashes to resolve and no progress. We need a solution now.

    Rift-S, GTX 1060 6GB, Windows 10 Pro - Same issue. Once every 20 minutes or so - Lasts for about a quarter of a second.

    Same problem on Rift-S very frustrating. Graphics card used Evga Geforce 1080ti. Same card ran CV1 without issue.

    Yes, very annoying issue. I have GTX 1070 and it does quite well but this flash happens on occasion. Breaks you out of immersion . Not so bad I stop playing but it would great to have a fix.

    Same, have white static flash every ~1hr of play. Usually in higher graphically intensive games i think. And often at entering oculus home (high graphic settings).
    Rift s; MSI ge75 2080; i7-9thgen

    I believe I found a work around to the static flashes. I installed Oculus Tray Tool and Enabled Oculus Homeless. I'm still testing but so far I haven't seen any static flashes.

    Looks like their Oculus Home software is a piece of ****.
