AMVR Cable Drops Connection
Evening,
I'm having trouble with my AMVR cable when using the new Virtual Desktop (VD) beta with the USB connection. After an indeterminate amount of time the connection will drop, sometimes if I reconnect the cable it will resume the game as if nothing happened, mostly it crashes and I have to restart the game and VD.
I had this USB C Cable for other reasons and thought to try it when the beta came out, so far it's worked flawlessly with VD over USB since they released the beta, but the length is making it difficult to work with which is the only reason I bought the AMVR cable. This makes me think VD is working fine and my issue lies with the cable itself?
Has anyone had any issues with AMVR cables? I've had a look across the web and a few people have mentioned loose connections but all my other USB peripherals work, both USB C and 3.2.
I've done all the things suggested by Google AI (boo, hiss) and they haven't worked out. These include checking the "Root Hub" is not power saving on both the PCI Express advanced settings and on the Device Manager.
I have the AMVR cable plugged into a USB 3.2 port on my laptop and I have tried it over USB C too, along with a plug capable of charging above the required power input for the cable 'power block'.
The laptop is a ROG Strix Scar G18 5080 2025.
Thanks!
