I'm going out of town. Was gana bring my keyboard, mouse and quest 2 with me to remote connect to my home pc. I wana play pancake games using the keyboard. The mouse works fine-ish but it's the keyboard I'm running issues into. When booting up the new horizon game on steam no keyboard input from the quest work, game probably uses raw input. I'm ask if there's a fix, or a alternative but if there is none there is none.

So I tried to uninstall and redownload blade and sorcery nomad because I didn't like one of the mods and I couldn't uninstall the mod through the mod menu. But when I tried to redownload the game, it doesn't let me. There's no "install" button on the home menu and instead the game is greyed out. It's the same on the app too, it says it's downloaded when it isn't. Could someone please help me out on this because I have absolutely no clue on what's wrong with it.

Hi everyone!

My bf and I are considering getting a Quest 3. I used to have a Quest 2 and really enjoyed it as I’m a gamer and the possibilities with VR gaming are great.

He’s into tech and the idea of VR and mixed reality but isn’t a gamer - what cool things would he be able to do with the Quest 3?

I just bought a Quest 2.

I need some games.

I'd like to play Halo on it;

Opening Beat Saber just hung on the title screen so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Now when I open it, it brings up the Store page. I can select "Start", but nothing happens.

Presumably latest version of BS as I just reinstalled it and Quest 3 on V63.

Help. Quest 3 boots up to the choose account screen, but I have no way to select continue. Neither controllers or hands register. There's a little dot in the center of where I'm looking, but I have no means of selecting anything. When pressing and holding the power button, the power off/restart screen appears and there controllers work just fine. I'm at a loss. Can't log into the device. Tried restarting multiple times.

Some recent changes on my end: on vacation so new location, added a secondary account so Quest always boots to switch account screen, and recently updated to V63.

Hello does anyone have issue with immersive?

I just bought my quest 3 yesterday and I installed immersive to play wow on massive screen.

Unfortunately I'm unable to start the app it gets stuck at 3/4 loading and that's it.

No I don't have 20€ to pay for virtual desktop sadly. (I do but my wife won't let me)

Right after initial steps quest updated it's firmware to newest version so that shouldn't be the issue.

Any help would be appriciated.

I used to have no issue using my vr headset with the gaming laptop I have. I've recently reset my laptop tho just to have a fresh start and now all of a sudden it's not compatible? Can't figure out the issue

My Quest 3 controllers are not detected when I launch Arizona Sunshine on SteamVR via Virtual Desktop, and VDXR doesn't work. Anyone ever encountered this ?

Hello community.

I have the following problem with my Quest2, after the last update the glasses stopped saving my guardian system, it gives me the following message:

"The limit was not saved

To solve the problem, restart the headset. If you continue, you will have to draw a new boundary every time you put on the headset." (in spanish) "No se guardo el limite

Para solucionar el problema , reinicia el visor. Si continuas tendras que dibujar un nuevo limite cada vez que te coloques el visor."

I tried to factory reset them, it worked fine for the first few minutes, then when I finished downloading my games and configuring my profile this thing happened to me again.

I tried deleting the Guardian data as well and was unsuccessful.

​

Has anyone had something similar happen to them? Could you help me?

The included info is my pc specs now. I just upgraded my quest 2 to a 3 and want to give my pc an upgrade as well. When my budget is around 350-450 and I don’t mind second hand parts, what should I upgrade for the best VR experience? (For context: my pc knowledge is not very good)

Post by: u/Aliceangry

I'm a user of both Quest 2 and Quest 3. I've spent the most time playing Beat Saber. I'm curious to know what game you've played the longest, so I can download and try it out.

Post by: u/Intricaterot

Thank you for taking the time to help me out.

My issue is that I don't know exactly how much power my MSI motherboard USB-C port delivers.

It can never fast charge neither my phone which support 30W fast charging, nor anything else, I find this problematic when connecting the Meta Quest 3 via cable link to the pc using the usb-c port. the battery drops as if it's not plugged ,albeit at a slower rate.

The USB-C version is 3.2 I didn't manage to find out which generation, and whether it supports power delivery or not. Nothing in BIOS that indicates either.

The MSI motherboard is PRO B760M-P

I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help me figure this out, thank you for your time.

I am currently playing VR boxing games as an exercise substitute. I'm also occasionally playing games like Beat Saber, Until You Fall, Pistol Whip, OhShape, SynthRiders and Ragnarock to switch things up a little bit

I'm reaching a point where this exercise is becoming less demanding and I'm looking for ways to up the ante without damaging my body. I'm looking at buying wrist weights that are anchored to the user's thumb for stability or weighted gloves. Wrist weights would probably be easier to use with VR controllers but that's not that important. I'm cautious because I'm not sure if it'd be better for the weight to be on the wrist or the hand for this kind of exercise.

What do you think?

I recently started using Horizon Workrooms on PC for work and absolutely love the setup. Yesterday, I dove in for a solid 4-hour session with the original head strap of the Q3 and it was fantastic. However, I noticed that I'm not getting any notifications for Microsoft Teams calls. Is this a common issue? I'm heavily dependent on Teams for my workflow and this could be a dealbreaker. Would love to know if anyone else has experienced this and if there are any workarounds.

Hi,

I was looking for a bluetooth pair of headphones for the Quest 3. My current AirPods Pro have terrible latency on this and I was reading that the Quest 3 has Snapdragon Sound support so the latency should be much improved.

I came across the EDIFIER W220T as they are officially supported and are not very expensive: https://www.aptx.com/products/edifier-w220t

Has someone tried them? reviews in sound quality are decent but I will use them exclusively for the Quest 3 so I was wondering how well they pair.

I have previously tried the SoundCore V10 and returned them immediately, the sound quality was very laking and I don't have access to the Vega T1 as I am from the UK. Any other 2.4Ghz device won't do as they do not have USB-C passthrough so I am stuck with Snapdragon Sound (I won't go wired)

Good day guys,

Not trying to break any rules so I will not give self promotion details. Serious question - We are developing a Fitness based VR game. A proper one with real goal setting mechanics, huge gamification, the whole 9 yards. I would like to know whether you prefer to buy a game outright or rather have a F2P with in-game purchase and/or monthly subscription.

Side note: I see most games in this genre go for about $25-$30, so we would be the same it we go that route, otherwise I was thinking F2P with a $10/month sub for additional content.

If I am breaking any rules here, I apologize, I am trying to stay within the rules by purely asking the question. For me to ensure I build something the community really wants, I need to first know what they want.

Thank you all in advance for any feedback.

This is what happen when trying to add another account to the quest. I try on phone/tab/pc, on chrome/edge/safari, quickly/slowly, with quest on/sleeping Nothing change, still the same loop for ever. What can I do ?

Post by: u/Large-Style-8355

I can watch Netflix in my Windows 10 web browser of choice (Opera) but not in Metas Browser on the quest 3. When I start a movie on the quest it says "something bad happened, error code .... Please log out" every time. I logged out in the browser in the PC but still the same error. Any idea what's going on, how I can work around that?

Post by: u/Extra-Fig-7425

Every option just goes back to the same screen, i have not tried sideload update yet. Should I try that or tried to get it repair from the vendor? (brought it when it was released, hopefully warranty still ok)

Hi all, is everyone else still having this issue with their headsets?

Post by: u/DevilzSpawnz

It asks you [SWITCH TO CONTROLLERS] -> After you pick up your controllers please continue to the center of your play area and select continue. I do all this but when my controller or finger hovers over the screen or gets near the continue button it just completely Grey's out. How do I fix this?

Is it possible to downgrade the PC Link app (NOT HEADSET) from v63 to v62, as it breaks an application I use. I am not enrolled in the PTC.

Post by: u/Toastieez

I can think of any way to make my setup better apart from a 4090 and I’m still getting ~50ms latency. I have a wifi 6e router that I play right next to, and a 4080 super, 14700k gaming pc with a wired connection directly to my router.

Any tips to reduce my latency?

Post by: u/Hot_Lawfulness_727

Hi everyone, as you read in the title, to be more specific my drivers are up to date and my connection is 866/MBS per sec, as well as both PC and Quest 3 using the same connection network.

When I play for about 10 minutes or less it disconnects, and pc doesn't just DC normally, the screen goes black and I have to force the power off (using virtual desktop)

I don't know why this started happening 2 months ago, everything was fine until then.

Long story short, I have been using my Quest 3 without any issues for a month, didn't drop it and treated it carefully. After a while I started to notice some issues with tracking in passthrough mode. When I tried to rescan my room to setup guardian it failed multiple times and I switched to manual setup. Next day I turned on my Quest 3 and got a black screen with permanent Tracking Lost error. I tried all methods to fix it and nothing helped. After I did a factory reset I'm stuck on the controller pairing screen with no tracking and no ability to connect controllers.

You don't hear about this problem often because Meta is quickly replacing these units, unfortunately they don't provide any warranties in my country so I'm stuck with this unit on my own.

I decided to disassemble Quest 3 and I found out that there is some oxidation, corrosion and burnout on a few pins of the depth sensor connector, this sensor is just a vcsel laser dot projecto located in the front of the headset in the middle between cameras. Due to its location under the air intake and in close proximity to the face and mouth, it can accumulate moisture/condensation from breathing, leading to connector corrosion and ultimately permanent damage.

https://preview.redd.it/k2ikzz1pktqc1.jpg?width=1939&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9042808bcf971939a78ce2b495fb0b154ad5aaeb

I did a full teardown of the headset and didn't find any other traces of corrosion or moisture anywhere else. Turns out the only damage was on that connector of the depth sensor.

I decided to assemble it without the depth sensor and unfortunately Quest 3 still has no tracking. I suspect that this is because I removed the depth sensor and it just locks itself into a loop where it tries to startup cameras.

Software update can theoretically fix this issue if Meta realizes that they need to skip depth sensor checkout in the initial setup, it's really not needed for tracking as cameras can do SLAM without it. Just add an optional check for presence of a depth sensor, if Quest 3 does not find it because it is broken or disconnected, then just skip it and cameras will be able to work normally. Depth sensor is only used for guardian scanning (and for mixed reality), but this step can be done manually like in Quest 2 and Quest Pro. This is such a simple software fix that can get my (and maybe many more in the future) Quest 3 back to work. I did a few more tests and realized that if you disconnect proximity sensor the Quest 3 actually freezes on the Meta logo and goes into bootloop. Why do this? Isn’t it more logical to simply notify the user about a malfunction of the proximity sensor and put the displays in permanent on mode? The user will be able to turn off displays by putting Quest 3 into a sleep mode with a power button. The same issue when Quest 3 notices that there is no depth sensor, the entire tracking system freezes and the cameras can't turn on and the tracking stalls, moreover, it also blocks the connection to the controllers.

Please make changes to the software. It's unacceptable for the Quest 3 to just stall like that, users can read, just give them an error that something is not working as you did with the cooling fan.

As for a hardware fix, please Meta add a simple foam padding around the fpc connectors of the depth sensor, this will prevent any moisture accumulation inside. Smartphone manufacturers have been doing this for over dacade now.

The resolution of Quest 3 lite is the exact same as Quest 2. The form factor is the exact same with a new shell.

They probably swapped out the fresnel for pancake lenses, added a new shell with some new cameras for passthrough, changed the facial interface to the Quest 3 one, changed strap.

It's funny how they are calling it the Quest 3s when it's literally a Quest 2 with some modifications.

I play with a friend that none of us can hear in VR unless we cup our hands over our ears (they've even upgraded to a Q3 in hopes that would help—but it did not). Any suggestions for earphones that are compatible with the BoboVR S3 Pro headstrap for Q3 (it's on pre-order).

BoboVR has earphones but it looks like it may only compatible with the PSVR boboVR headstrap.

Our friends that have headphones connected through their PC can hear him... but most of the group only plays via standalone.

It was available for me after the second v63 update which arrived today to my region. I tried it on youtube app, venta x and vrchat, all worked fine. You can activate it from experimental settings.

I have no idea why it took 3.5 fucking years to implement this but it works fine at least. Now all I need is some decent 180º asmr videos on youtube

Like the title says. I think the default media player is far too curved for enjoying a movie, and the fact you can't dim light around the screen is annoying as well. What is the best app to watch movies you've loaded directly to your Q3?

So if a game or a site were to request my hand and body pose data, how could it be used, stored, or shared? Like would I be at risk if I gave permission to some of the wrong sites? And if I did, how could anyone even use said data to begin with?
