The server is not down, but the api is live. Only two apps and the specific versions of those apps are approved (that i know of as of this writing).
This means no other apps (unless properly approved) will be able to connect. Do not make posts about the server or other apps unless you are using one of the above it will NOT work.
This being said this is NOT the only source. There are plenty of sources in the megathread which do not depend or rely on the vrSrc Server. This largely only effects sideloaders (and some shitty downloaders) that use the vrSrc as the server
I have read all the pinned posts and i have searched the megathread.
Tried Rookie for the first time today, everything was smooth until I accidentally tried uninstalling a game while installing, it crashed all of my downloads.
I restarted both my PC and Quest 3, fully deleted the C:\RSL folder and reinstalled both the Rookie exe and public.json file.
Now it doesn't want to connect to the server at all no matter how many uninstall reinstalls, internet disconnecting, and restarting.
Here is a debug log of what my Rookie went through, help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it difficult and does it have any risks or downsides? and is the meta quest 3 worth the $800 price tag?

is it possible to use the vrsrc servers on qrookie? im using fedora linux and the servers are the outdated old ones, and if not is there a way to get rookie working with wine/proton or just using a virtual machine with windows to make it work? im posting this since i haven't really found anything about this or similar to this

Decided to get a game off apprentice today.And what I tried to do, it does everything perfectly.But when it hits installed, it's been on it for about three hours.And hasn't changed I have read all the pinned posts and i have searched the megathread. And I cannot find anything on how to fix this. I've restarted my quest. I've restarted my P. C. I've plugged it into a different US. B port, i've reinstalled apprentice.I don't know what's going on and I need help
Anyone know how to get The Climb started with steamvr.
I've copied gammon across to E:\Games\The Climb\bin\win_x64-steam and run Climb.exe but nothing happens. I have pimax hmd and tried to run using pimaxplay which has something like revive built in, but still no go? Does it even work with steamvr?

After the recent Meta update, which changed the UI completely, all my files disappeared and I can't see any of the previously downloaded game files. I tried using rookie to redownload everything, but it doesn't work.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Added child profile in Q3 - and then I noticed previously installed things were missing. Apparently you have to instal them only after the profile was created. I plugged in the headset into the Win11.
RSL's now saying no device found. Developer mode is still enabled I can still see the unknown sources on my profile.
I can't seem to connect anymore with either profile.
I saw somewhere else that you might have to create a 13 plus account but I'm not up to that stage yet. I don't have another email address I can use to create another account and deal with all this stuff.
At the moment I'm just trying to get it to work with my primary profile again
every time I plug in the USB it says ' click on this notification to allow access ' not the usual allow debugging popup
https://qpmegathread.top/pages/dev-mode.html
everything here is still working It just cannot be detected anymore
but it's only to allow explorer to access
I have read all the pinned posts and i have searched the megathread.
I know it's not recommended to have a second account but I need this so that I don't have to keep changing the height in the game from adult to child and back again
I deleted the child profile from the headset and I still cannot connect RSL
I have read all the pinned posts and i have searched the megathread. i have been trying to load my B&S but it’s stuck? i waited for 15 minutes and it doesn’t load, it’s just stuck, i have downloaded any mods or anything on my first time launching it it has been like this, it’s the newest version and this isn’t my first time installing it is there anything i need to uninstall? (i uninstalled it using rookie maybe i need to use side quest to uninstall some files?)
I am trying to install AC Nexus with APKognito because i played on Horizon+ without knowing, after i rename the APK and OBB and sideload them to my quest 3s i got stuck on loading screen. Did i miss a step while installing?

I’m trying to open utorrent on my quest 2 and everytime I open it that message pops up I’ve restarted, turned off, and reinstalled it but that always pops up. It does open for a few seconds though.
Edit: I used libretorrent and it worked thanks guys!
Getting this error. Before it worked perfectly, same settings in router, computer, nothing changed on my side. Anyone having this?
i made a mod for a game thats just a .so, i tried just repacking it to load the mod at startup but then i get an error "cannot log into oculus" or something similar, so i was wondering if there is a way to load it without repacking the apk or a way to fix the error after repacking. i have alot of experience reverse engineering and modding pc games but ive never modded an android or quest game so i dont know if there is a standard workaround for it.

Honestly got no clue what im doing here haven't used RSL in a while and I launched it and it asked me to update it or something, so i did and then it gave me three options and two of them involved like pasting a link or something and I didnt know what that meant so i picked the third option of continuing offline with my own library and predictably i cant see the list of games to download. Anyone know what to do?
Edit: I got the popup back, can someone guide me
Is anyone else getting a 500 Rclone error when downloading? I was able to get one download to finish earlier and now it’s saying there’s an internal server error. TIA
