Extremely unlikely that 24.1 is responsible for your hooking issues. The general hooking mechanism hasn’t changed at all. Check what else might have changed on your system. There almost certainly is something else going on.
Oculus Link restarts itself when the Windows display config changes, which happens occasionally due to the new virtual vorpX monitor. Not a bug on vorpX’s end, just some weird behavior of the Oculus app. Easily avoidable by starting vorpX before the Oculus app, not really an issue at all.
That said, you can roll back with the procedure mentioned in the 24.1.0 release post on the front page. (1. Uninstall vorpX, 2. Reinstall with the regular installer). If you didn’t keep your original web installer, check the support FAQ for how to get a new one.
