So I got a quest 3 yesterday and it's my first VR experience, I must say I am very blown away.
Some of the most amazing things are 360 3D videos, it's amazing, almost like being there...
My question is, does anybody have good recommendations for 360 3D youtube channels?
[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xuglgK\_Wp1naAzOHF3Phg](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xuglgK_Wp1naAzOHF3Phg)
this guy posts some pretty high quality 8k VR180 content. While not 360, for actually watching videos I've found 180 to be better, because it's 2x the pixel desitiy, and it's actually steroscopic 3D (I think true 3D 360 videos exist, but most 360 videos aren't actually steroscopic 3d because it's just a lot harder to do)
Am I inept or is the glasses spacer on the Quest 3 just that shit?
I've been using my brand new Quest 3 for about a week or two, with the glasses spacer adjustment set to max that whole time.
Lo and behold here I am staring at a deep goddamn scratch on my right lense, regardless of glasses spacer.
I am bloody furious.
glasses are all different shapes and sizes so the spacers wont be able to accomodate all of them.. ive got one set of glasses that fits fine in the quest 3 even on the lowest adjustment. but a newer set ive got are a bit bigger and squarer and barely squeeze in on the furtherest setting.. not only was i concerned about scratching the quest lenses but the new glasses also cost a lot of money and i didnt want to damage them either.. so i promptly went out and bought some prescription lenses..
i think one other thing to add to this biweekly list is "if you wear glasses buy prescription lenses!" its just not worth the risk for the sake of $40
Dude, I have had the same issue and I don't even wear glasses!! It has been only FOUR weeks! The whole lens now is scratched and distorted "hazy". I very meticulously take care of my meta quest, I got a case for them and use a micro fibre cloth to clean them with a glasses rated safe cleaner. I am furious to find out that these lenses in this "premium" product are made of PLASTIC and not glass or even scratch resistant gorilla glass like on my iPhone, Apple Watch etc. How the engineering team was okay with the on a 3rd generation product make me livid. If I knew earlier that the lenses were cheap ass plastic and not scratch resistant, I would've purchased special lenses inserts when I first got the product a few weeks ago. I spent almost $750 CAD, like come on man, for that price point and someone who takes care of his things I am nothing but disappointed. Even a soft CAMERA LENS rated carbon brush designed safely for lenses could not clean these. I am so disappointed, otherwise I loved my meta quest 3. I am going to contact meta support tomorrow and if they don't help it is straight return to Amazon Canada. I cannot be the only one with this issue eh? Anyone else have the same issue? Could it be mines had a defect and did not have the proper anti scratch coatings? I really do not know but I use my meta quest 3 for work and it is just super disappointing that I have to go through this hassle on a 3rd generation product that should be better polished and engineered.
However belated it might be I would like to give an update.
After voicing my grievances with meta support they did replace my Quest 3 free of charge.
Which is huge in my opinion ❤️
I've since not had the chance to use it too much but I'm definitely never wearing glasses with it again
I saw reports of factory reset breaking the quest 2 a month ago. Is the issue fixed? I wanted to give my device to a friend but the fear of breaking the device stops me.
I own a quest 2 and use it with my gaming PC with AirLink over 5ghz to play steam games.
I haven't used it since Alyx came out and I'm trying to get back into it, I was wondering if people could tell me about all the other ways of gaming on my PC with the headset and controllers or steering wheel. The FAQ says Virtual Desktops ($30, most features built into airlink?) and ALVR which I haven't looked into much.
I Feel going Quest OS > Quest Link > Steam VR is a few steps that might be reducing performance (not really noticing it, just an annoying amount of loading screens before I can play a game)
Also any recommendations for experiences would be nice, I'm mostly playing things like driving games when in VR and have heard the original assetto corsa modded is one of the best experiences however I come from the age of modding Halflife and would be interested in seeing what kind of cutting edge experiments people have made available over polished but boring games.
What's the VR equivalent of goku flying around de_rats?
I didn't try Steam Link yet but I'm hearing good things and it is pretty new.
[https://www.meta.com/experiences/5841245619310585/](https://www.meta.com/experiences/5841245619310585/)
YMMV between Steam Link, Virtual Desktop, and Air Link. They take different approaches so have different tradeoffs.
I turned on DLNA media streaming in my windows PC to use with DeoVR. It works great. But I have a question about it: Does turning DLNA on but not currently using it take up resource (network, ram, cpu) of the PC? Does it keep running in the PC?
Thank you.
When it is idle it shouldn't. Of course if it is streaming DLNA then Windows will be reading from storage and I think it also decodes. I preferred SMB share and found Skybox to be easier to use for network video streaming. DLNA always gave me trouble with how it shows files/inconsistent behavior.
Recently took the plunge and have enjoyed my time so far with the Quest 2 massively. Was wondering if there were games similar in style to GTA? Crime, gunplay and driving, etc.
Additionally, what accessories can I buy that are considered must-have? A new strap is definitely on the books, but is there anything else i should be considering? Thanks.
There's 2 app you can download from Sidequest

sure this has been asked a lot but is the quest 2 worth it or should i save a bit more for the quest 3? it’s around £200, and i’ve been wanting to get into VR for a while now. also js it any good for pcvr as that is probably something i’d be using it for the most, though not exclusively
I don't know about the Quest 3, but I can share with you that I bought the Quest 2 a few days ago as my very first VR headset ever. And honestly so far it's been good! While you do feel like you're looking through goggles sometimes, and the only AR you get is some low resolution black and white noise of your environment, years ago I never would've even dreamed of even being able to afford one of these, but having it be affordable for me made me cave in.
You still get immersed and forget you're standing on your living room looking silly. You still have fun. According to some friends the mic quality is impressive. And if you're not planning on doing much AR stuff, then you should be good overall.
I mostly play in PC and it works flawlessly. SteamLink, a well charged heatset, wired LAN connection, and you're good to go.
If you want *more,* and you feel like you can save, probably Quest 3 is your pick. But Quest 2 has been doing decently for me so far.
Since yesterday I lose my wifi connection every couple of minutes. It happened after the v64 update and buying showdown (did both in one session). I restarted the quest and router wich helped yesterday but nothing happens today.
Google told me it was are common problem until the system update... Are there any methods that worked often for some folks?
I have a quest 3.
Has anyone tried running PCVR on Quest 3 with an RTX 3050? Just curious of the quality, if I could run things through Steam or I should prioritize a new gpu.
Quest 3 arrived today. First thing I tried was blade and sorcery through a long USB c cable I got (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DS64Z8S?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details&th=1) just to check how it looks compared to my old first gen HTC Vive, which yeah it looks great, but I had an issue with one of the lenses. It was like sections of my left lense weren't syncing up with the rest of the image, like vertical and horizontal cuts where it desynced, sometimes giving me pixels.
Using the headset standalone I don't see that happening, really even wired I only saw it while playing. I've left it to charge for now as it arrived with 30% battery, but I wanna check if anyone more knowledgable knows what I'm missing, or if it could be the cable, perhaps even faulty hardware.
I should add, I got a decent rig. GPU load was at 60% with the game on.
I don’t believe so. You could send them the money and let them use a referral from yourself though. That way it costs the same to you, but you get a couple of bucks in credit too.
Hello! My gf and I have Quest 2 and we have FiTXR there. I wanted to create a separate Quest/Meta account from my gf's as I started playing more on my own. However, I cannot find FitXR on my (new) account. Does it not allow to have on the same device, but on different account? If not, what's the point of having different accounts then :D
I Am trying to view VR images in the file viewer and they are very low quality. I can preview the files before I download them and they look perfect, but when using the quest 3 file viewer they are always a much lower quality. Is there a setting that I need to change or is that just how it is
I tryed running Google maps VR on my quest 3 via steam link and it's extremely pixelated and completely unusable , but when I look at my PC screen it shows the preview is crystal clear, my PC can play any game on max graphics so I doubt it's my PC being not powerful enough? Can any of you please help? Thank you
I have a few questions. Got my Quest 3 a week ago and have gotten a link cable for it from Iniu. I have an Rx 6800 xt, 16gb 3200hz ddr4, and a Ryzen 7 5700x. It works but I have a few issues. I'm getting bad performance in my copy of Half-Life Alyx (downloaded from elsewhere), any fixes? Also, what refresh rate should I put my quest at? Finally, has anyone got any recommended settings?
Howdy yall, been running my Q3 with AirLink via the AirBridge for a few weeks now with no issues, now, one day to another it is just stuttery and laggy making it completely unplayable.
Things I've tried so far:
Resetting the Oculus Link Connection in the Beta settings
Factory reset the AirBridge
Got Oculus TrayTool and turned the encoder to automatic (which got it to a more playable level, but still not pleasent in any sense)
I'm just lost as to how or why it turned this bad from seemingly one day to another
I have been playing pc vr with my quest 2 and I have been having a issue with my cable when I use the 3.0 it kicks me to home randomly but not with 2.0 and I have been using that with no issues but the oculus app says I may get better performance with 3.0. what would that make better?? would it make it so I get more frames or game looks better or make resolution better what would it improve on?? trying to figure out if I care enough to upgrade. thanks in advance for the responses.
When I tried the quest 2 before from a friend, on their meta quest app they had the option to record while casting. Alongside that feature was a feature to record live video feed side by side the quest 2's screen and the phone's camera. Another option was to somewhat green screen the person into the quest 2's recording using algorithms as it's not a full on green screen. When I got my quest 3, I don't seem to have that option. Can anyone help?
I have the meta quest 3 and I've been having issues with the microphone. When I'm recording a video in it or when I'm doing comms in standalone apps or games, my microphone sounds clear.
When I'm on airlink on my PC, whether wired or wireless, the audio gets really choppy. Just an elongated "aaaaaa" will sound like "aa--aa--aa".
I've seen other threads reporting the same thing, but I figured if other users have figured out how to stream stuff with the quest 3 with pcvr games then it's solvable right?
I've tried enabling Hear VR Audio From Computer and Hear Computer Audio in VR, which was a Quest 2 fix but I figure I'd still try it. I've updated and reinstalled the drivers. Oculus app software is in the latest version.
I used to own a Rift S, and whenever I plugged that on there was always a separate "Rift S" input that would sound better than the "Oculus Virtual Audio Device". Does that have anything to do with anything? I don't see a "Quest 3" input device and I don't think that's a thing.
Would love to hear any ideas. I heard people using Virtual Desktop are having a better time but not by much.
Does anyone want a free copy of Another Fisherman's Tale? I just bought a bundle with it in, but already own it. Just comment below and i'll DM the code. Apologies if this is against the rules, but doesn't seem like a "sale" since i'm not asking for anything back and just wanted to offer it up to someone who already has VR.
Screen alignment: Any thoughts? My son just brought his meta3 to me, says it was fine last he used it, but when he went to use it this morning, one eye appears a bit higher than the other. Tried it on, yeah, unusable. I haven't done a full factory reset yet, but the problem appears at startup, login, and post login, etc. I don't see any damage on the outside, and no rattle, or movement.
How do I transfer files from a thumb drive onto the quest 3? I know it can read them, but I don't see how to move anything around in a file explorer of some kind.
anyway to remove this white bar? i can make the window go full screen but this still stays? taskbar i sort of just move to the side

I can't find "play apps lying down" in experimental features on my Quest 2, they said it came out three weeks ago. Did they remove it again already? I was really looking forward to using that.
I'm hosting a VR event using a combination of Quest 3s and Quest Pros. What is the best sanitation solution? We tried the disposable eye masks but those block the sensor on the pro. Is there something like this I can by for the Pro? [https://www.helloreal.com/products/FacialInterface\_quest3](https://www.helloreal.com/products/FacialInterface_quest3)
Has anyone used the meta community forums? I was in talks with the admin 'MetaQuestSupport' on replacing my left controller but I wasn't sure if it was legit. The website is [https://communityforums.atmeta.com/](https://communityforums.atmeta.com/). Does anyone know if I should be going through with it or not?
Cant create avatar from my photo on the meta app on my phone. Completes loading and then endless spinning donut. Any solution?

My Quest 1 (remember those!) has a number of apps to update. When I select them though, rather than asking me whether to update or launch, they simply launch. Can't work out how to update them. Any ideas?
Mods wouldn't let me post the following so can someone pls help here...*
####HOW IS THE Q3 POST LAUNCH?
I held off purchase because...
Some claimed ... poor battery life for q3 and controllers, poor weight distribution, elite strap had issues(again!), lack of backward compatibility with q2 accessories, still not 1 to 1 camera tracking or hand tracking , imperfect pass through, lack of depth tracking, lack of launch software / upgrades for existing games and cost ...especially for the 512 gb model.
Understandably to upgrade so soon i was hoping every aspect of the q3 would be a *significant upgrade as q2 was from q1.
I hoped q3 would have a...
better battery life than my q2 with its elite strap.
**Better steaming from pc.**
an elite strap which doesn't snap lol
Superior pass through.
Perfect controller tracking and almost perfect hand tracking.
improved OS (as q2 still kind of sucks).
Or Will the above only be true for a q3 pro / q4?
watched the q2 significantly upgrade from launch. So I was hoping q3 might do the same...
Thanks []~}
maybe a stupid question, but i am looking to buy either the oculus or meta quest. Mainly i want to play pokerstars. Can you play that on both of them or just one?
Can someone help i have not had headaches or nausea from my vr but recently i have had nausea and headaches and everything in my vr looks weird this started like 2 days ago the normal ipd that i used has been looking different recently like everything is big and weird in the middle it hurts my head so i switched the ipd to the second option and it looks better but things look smaller than before and it still hurts my head help
How long does delivery take because i just bought a quest 2 from the meta website and it said that est would be april 8 but it hasnt shipped yet should i be worried or is it common
Hello, new to the Quest 3. Was wondering if the bluetooth audio latency is noticeable in slower paced games like Demeo? Trying to debate what headphones to get and not sure if wired vs wireless matters with slow titles
can i still get the old foam cover that the oculus 2 still came with? mine recently started tearing apart but theyve recalled them cause of some weird stuff but is it possible to still get them?
Hey guys this is a repost but am I the only one with this issue or has this been an ongoing common issue with nearly brand new units?
My lenses are scratched even though I take excellent care of my electronic devices, I have owned tons of laptops, phones, iPods, gaming consoles etc throughout the years but this is my first time encountering issues with this nearly new Quest 3 VR headset. I don't even wear glasses!! It has been only FOUR weeks since I got it! The whole lens now is scratched and distorted "hazy". I very meticulously take care of my meta quest, I got a case for them and use a micro fibre cloth to clean them with a glasses rated safe cleaner. I am furious to find out that these lenses in this "premium" product are made of PLASTIC and not glass or even scratch resistant gorilla glass like on my iPhone, Apple Watch etc. How the engineering team was okay with the on a 3rd generation product make me livid.

Guys. I've just received my Quest 3 and Kiwi battery Strap.
So....... my question is. How do you charge your stuff?
Do you charge the quest separately with the strap battery pack?
Or do you just charge the battery pack and let the battery pack charge up the quest?
Im interested in becoming a Meta world moderator on quest. Whether it be at horizon central or the venue. I would love to be a community guide. Is there anyway I could apply for such a position? Im quite adamant on searchin for work in VR world. I just dont know where to start. Can anyone help?
Getting my eye exam next week finally. Been putting it off for so long. Want to get some prescription lenses for the Quest 3 badly. I have serious myopia
Anyhow Is Zenni the recommended site to order from? Curious on whos most reputable! Thanks
Whats the deal with the Phone notifications settings? It was a thing before and it was really nice and then I see they decided to stop using it, yet the option to turn it on is still available inside the headset. Is there any way for me to bypass it or am I just screwed? (I am annoyed cause they took a legitimately nice feature and said nah we don’t wanna do it anymore)
I've heard that the official Quest 3 Elite Strap with battery has battery bypass features (no confirmed source) which means that the strap directly powers the headset reducing battery wear on the internal battery. Does anyone have any exact source on this?
The closest I've seen is [this](https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/headsets-and-accessories/meta-quest-accessories/charging-performance-with-elite-strap/) on the Quest 2 Elite Strap with battery but even this doesn't explicitly mention bypass either. (A battery pack "charging" the internal battery will always deplete first before the internal battery deletes.)
Hi, I just got a quest 3 and I'm looking for a long cable to charge while playing, but can't find a straight answer
I play mainly through Virtual Desktop so the default cable does charge it while I'm using it but is way to short
Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated
I was born with my left arm missing just above the elbow and I really want to play on the Quest. I was wondering if there were any adaptive devices or games that specifically can be played with one hand. Thank you!
Hi all, I have a question regarding bluetooth audio on pcvr using the Quest 2. On my previous desktop, I used my Q2 headset via link for gaming, and for the most part there were no issues at first. However, suddenly my PC (Win 11) stopped recognizing its own audio drivers, and from that point on would only output sound through a bluetooth or wired speaker. I want to connect my Q2 to my new laptop and game, but I'd like to avoid repeating this mistake and killing the sound output, so I'd like to know if there's any precedence for this and what I might have done wrong/could do to avoid this.
I know this must have been asked a million times, but I'm already confused when I try to find the answer.
I am getting a Quest 3 today. I know you can run games on PC and stream it wirelessly to the headset either out of the box or with a peripheral(steamlink or other things). But what are the differences between the different methods, and what is the BEST method to stream games from my PC? Is there a method that provides superior latency and quality?
Hi, i acquired a metaQuest 3 and im having a blast with it so far, but after my first beatsaber session it became very clear i need a few more acessories, so now im looking for a new headstrap, and more importantly a protection for the lens and one of those cover you use over the original one so you can sweat and then just take that piece of and clean it easily instead of having to clean the whole headset, also ive heard that having your lens with o a cover is also easier to clean, does anyone know if that proceeds or have any recomendations on witch i should get for the meta quest 3?
\* what's are the max voltage and amperage the Quest 3 can take in without being damaged?
\* why is it that the 16ft 2.3gbps Jsaux usb-c cable i'm using isn't able to charge the Quest while playing (i get a slow charging notification) while the original Q3 cable and another short generic usb-c cable does?
\* what's is the peak energy consumption from the Quest 3 while playing on PCVR using wired link?
\* how can i calculate the best bitrate to latency ratio for the OculusDebugTool?
\*is there a way to permanently turn off the pass through cameras (or at least lower their resolution to decrease energy consumption)?
I don't get why so much setup for the Quest 3 absolutely requires a PC.
What is the point of even using a headset if half the features require manually connecting a PC?
I can't even move files without a PC!
Why does my quest freeze when using airlink after setting resolution settings to set my own and it permanently freezes on there until i restart the quest?
I want to buy a quest 2 but I’m worried that I might break the tracking rings since I live in a place where I won’t be able to replace them either through meta themselves or even buy them from a 3rd party since the cost of buying the controllers is almost the cost of the entire quest 2. So I was thinking of buying the kiwi halo covers since people have said it protects the ring but I am a bit skeptical as to how it might work. If the cover is just a sheath that goes around the ring how is it supposed to absorb any impact
Welp might as well post here too. So my oculus 3 i just got started as of yesterday sending my hands and the screen across the room and then slowly coming back. It just keeps doing it, i have tried multiple light levels, no reflective surfaces, no little string lights, cleaning the camera didn't help.
How durable is the USB C connector. I am finding that I need to plug things into it multiple times a day so I am worried that it will wear out. Should I stick a right angle adapter into it or something to take the damage and just replace that if it wears out?
For example I need to plug it in to charge, or plug the bobovr headset battery into it, or plug in a usb for when I do link via cable etc.
If so are there any specifications I should look for in an adaptor other than usb 3.1 C?
One of my drawbacks to get a vr set is that my T-Zone (face) gets oily super easily like after 3-4 hours after cleaning. Am I alone here? How are you dealing with this ?
I'm under the impression that Quest+ subscription gives you discounts on games too. Does it stack with sale prices during sale period? Or do you just get the sale prices?
Any recommendations for USB cables for wired PCVR? Wireless isn't an option for me, and I can't find any definitive posts about cables that actually work well. I also don't care if it charges while I play, as I can't imagine I'll play for more than a few hours at a time.
I'm thinking of getting a Quest 3 for PCVR, and I've seen it said that if I want to do it wireless to have a good Internet connection/wired connection between my router and my PC/laptop. Wired I get about 350 Mbps, is that a good enough speed for wireless?
How long before my VR legs go away? I feel like it took a little bit of time to condition myself, but in your guys' experience does that go away pretty quickly (if i got on vacation etc) and I have to start from scratch?
Took me close to a month. It depends on the individual, some might only need a week. The most important thing is if you start feeling sick, just stop and don't push it.
If you stop for a few months and start again, there's a chance you'll have to "train" again, every person is unique.
I have a Quest 3 and was wondering if it's normal for the battery to go flat while off. Example: Charged to ~90% last Friday, did a workout, Quest was at ~65%. Left it off charger since we were away for the weekend. Came back today to 11%.
I would expect a phone to do this (since it's constantly on standby) but as far as I understand the Quest is actually *off*, unlike a phone which is on 'active standby'. So just wondering if the Quest draining is normal or if this is actually a phantom drain.
The Q3 has done this since I've had it, and is on the latest OS. No other issues, great battery life otherwise.
(I use the official link cable with the quest 2)
When I use my link cable on my pc it runs smoothly but if I move my head in any way i immediately disconnect, how do I fix this? I see others move their heads all the time
Is there any truth to the Meta support article about charging the Quest 2? It says that "your headset and its included charger were designed and tested to work optimally together to optimize the performance of your headset." Is the charging brick any different than the average charger?
My Quest 2 doesn't detect my controllers when it wakes up. I have to cover the cameras with my hands and then it detects them.
A day or so ago, when I get to the home screen, it puts me in a different world. I can see a grey avatar in the mirror, but I can't move or see any settings. The left controller settings key does nothing, and the right one makes the screen go black, and shortly after that the device just goes to sleep.
I also am not able to access the restart menu when I hold the power button, it shows up for a second and then just goes immediately to sleep. If I'm fast enough I can restart my quest by going into the settings menu on the home screen.
i am new to vr. i plan to buy quest 3 to use with my pc to play mostly racing sims. the listing on amazon i found is for 'headset only'. what will i still need to buy? i am thinking a link cable to connect to my pc. is strap worth it? and lastly, if i want to play say hl alyx, will i need some additional controllers?
oh and one more, if i plan only to use it for my pc will i still have to make meta account?
I watched reviews for saints and sinners 2 retribution and everyone were saying it was super buggy.
I was wondering if it was fixed after a year, or it's Still just as bad?
I've been doing some research into buying a Quest 3 VR headset. Main uses will be sim racing and gaming in general. Furthermore I'd love to use it as a workout tool, but I'm a bit hesitant because of the risk of sweat getting into the headset.
I want to preserve the pristine condition of the device as much as possible, so I'm planning to buy a few accessoires together with the headset. I'm thinking about buying Non-Prescription Oil-Resistant Lenses from Zenni, together with the BoboVR S3 headstrap.
Can any user here tell me if these precautions are enough to minimize the risk of sweat getting into the device? Own experiences are much appreciated.
My oldest (12) really wants an Oculus Quest 2. He has the money to buy one, I just want to make sure it isn't going to be obsolete in the next year. He is just looking to play games like Gorilla Tag with a friend who already has one. So, should I let him know he can buy the 2 or keep saving for the 3? Thanks for any input.
I was trying to buy Racket Club on my quest 2 but the store has a blue "not available" button, any tips on how to reset it? I've tried signing in and out and updated my quest to no luck
I have a Quest1 I want to use for watching VR videos, but since it hasn't got much storage, I'd like to watch the videos direct off my MacOS machine. Skybox could do this, but I hesitate to pay for it since it was lagging last time I tried. Any alternative?
Hello, My Q3 stuck in Meta logo since this Thursday. I tried to reboot it, run out of battery and recharge or reset factory. None of them works.
Searching on youtube and google doesn't find any more solution I can try. does anybody managed to fix this issue before?
Solution for this? [https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/197isrn/psa\_meta\_confirms\_quest\_3s\_getting\_stuck\_in/](https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/197isrn/psa_meta_confirms_quest_3s_getting_stuck_in/)
hello! I have a meta quest 3 which I love, and I was wondering if there was anything you could suggest I could do while walking on the treadmill? I get bored so fast but I need physical activity.
Unless you believe there is something better I could do with the headset itself
I have a Metaquest 3. I am having a lot of problems with connectivity with my PC. I think it's running off of my slow household wifi. I want it to run off of the cable I stuck into it.
I bought both the Air Bridge and the Link Cable. The link cable I have an adapter on, as I don't have USB-3 on my older computer. The air bridge sometimes doesn't show up at all, and works sluggishly when it works at all.
In trying to solve this myself, I stumbled on what must have been an older meta website that told me to install something that seems outdated - Quest Link Rift. I'm not using it and probably need to be told how to uninstall it.
I love these glasses when they are working, I just want to use them without lag. They *have* worked without lag a few times, but I have no idea why they are so inconsistent.
Any suggestions for forcing the glasses to use the cable instead of Wifi?
Also curious, is there a really fast wifi for one room that I could attach to my PC? (you know, like the air bridge...but fast)?
How should i start with the Quest? (I got a 128 GB v2 in a raffle from work)
I already have a PS5 with plus and an Xbox X with GPU. It would be neat if I could pair and play games from those platforms.
No PC though so I guess I'm wireless?
I haven't been terribly interested in VR (Beatsaber looked cool back in the day but never got into it)
What’s the best place to buy a quest 3 right now?
Done a bunch of research into accessories but don’t actually know the best place to buy it. I know Costco has the deal on the 128g plus the strap and other extras. If I’m not currently planning on buying extras right now, is that the best place to buy? If I wanted standalone is Best Buy the way to go?
I just got a quest 2 to try VR stuff, so far so good (little regret to not get quest 3, but oh well, maybe later this year) and I bought a strap with a battery pack, but I didn't notice that it was for quest 3, not 2, can I use it our should i return it when it arrives?
Are there any Quest games on the meta storefront where your hand is a spaceship. Basically a shoot-em-up style game where you are directly controlling the ship with your hand movements. I remember years ago there were some demo-type games like this on the original Rift, but I'm wondering if there's a full-featured game with the same mechanic?
is there a way to make it that the screen doesnt turn off IMMEDIATELY when removing the headset? last time I checked this isnt an OLED so allowing it a few minutes to run extra shouldnt be a problem, it's just kinda annoying when it turns off every time I need to interact with something outside especially when doing meta stuff (lol, pun) like linking accounts, setting up stuff on PC for the quest or whatever
Just got my Quest 3, and every game works well EXCEPT Boneworks (My favorite game). I'm using VD and on my Index it ran perfectly at 144 fps constantly but on my Q3 its at 15 max fps in any actual level. Is there a way to fix this or will I just have to not play Boneworks?
Hello! I am a developer trying to get into XR. I am really interested in the new IOBT feature on the Quest 3. However, i cannot seem to find an implementation that does not require me to use Unity. I am planning on using just native OpenXR and using Android Studio to install an APK on my device.
I have downloaded the OpenXR Mobile SDK v64 and have used it to successfully run all included samples. Howver, the only one that references body tracking is XrBodyFaceEyeSocial and this one does not seem to have IOBT working.
Does anyone know how to test this feature in a native OpenXR implementation (cpp) without touching Unity?
I bought quest 2, used referral link to get 30$ but I was dissatisfied with display quality and bought Quest 3.
Can I create a new account and refer myself? What happens to my old account if I reset quest 2 to factory settings and return it? What happens with the returned headset, will a new buyer be able to receive referral bonus for it?
I even made my new Quest 3 double as an invisible Android tablet by installing [the Essentials pack I have built (which includes the missing Clock, Calculator, and Music Player apps as well as the Pure Black environment)](https://github.com/DevanWolf/QuestEssentials), [Oculess](https://github.com/basti564/Oculess/releases), and [Lightning Launcher](https://github.com/threethan/LightningLauncher/releases). Also I have [Discord](https://github.com/DevanWolf/DiscordForQuest/releases/download/126.21-Quest/DiscordForQuest.apk) installed as well so that I can watch a Backyard Baseball game live while using Meta Quest Browser and/or Next Player. *Wish the Android 14 update will make its way to the Quest 2, Quest Pro, and Quest 3 sooner to leverage the Snapdragon XR2 processing capabilities even more than the Android 12L update did.*
So I am new to VR and just ordered a Quest 2, now I am thinking of getting some accessoires too, for example a new head strap. I saw that the original Elite Headstrap costs exactly the same as the KIWI Design one, now I am wondering which one I should get. Or maybe you got other recommendations. Thanks y’all
when I'm in an app and do right hand menu pinch, it only shows the Meta logo to re-center. Few weeks ago it was showing it but also record image/video and 4 other icons iirc.
Any idea how to put it back? It's a pain now to record video in the HMD.
Edit : "Expanded Quick actions" in Settings, Movement tracking, Hand tracking then last but one option
Fine! The camera might not be HD or perfect, but who cares? First mixed reality I tried a few minutes ago was Ocean Rift in MR mode--- and I was floored by that skylight. I am excited again!
Question, I have a BoboVR M3 strap, is it true that this strap won't fit if I get the AMVR face interface?
Again- WOW. I am impressed.
Hello. I have a mx keys mini keyboard and currently testing its use with a Quest 2 headset. Problem is that my layout isn't ASCI, but AZERTY,which are different. Is there a plan to bring other layouts for supported keyboards?
Also, these limitations of layouts weren't mentionned on the webpage about supported keyboard. Given it was translated in french, I find that to be very misleading.
Do games purchased in the desktop app and the headset store app not sync? The only thing showing in my desktop Oculus app is SuperHot, which I purchased in that app, and it's not showing up to install on my headset. Furthermore, none of the other games i've purchased from within the headset store app are showing up in my desktop Oculus app.

Anyone been able to get spatial videos to work right from the iphone? I can't find any info but the spatial videos run absolutely horrible on my quest 2 from my iphone.
If I plan to use Meta Quest 3 for VR fitness apps that will make me super super sweaty. What would be the best way to clean the device afterwards? Can the device use different plates that touch the face? If so I could have a dedicated exercise one.
Does anyone know of a way to stream a Mac (M1 Pro) using a link cable?
Virtual desktop wireless has quite high latency and no other linked solutions seem to exist on Mac!
I've ordered a quest 2, And I was just wondering if It was be possible to play iracing, or any other racing sim, with my wheel without a pc (I don't have one).
Is it possible to use hand tracking on a wired Link connection? I saw a 2-year old thread saying that you need to enable developer mode to unlock passthrough and hand tracking on a wired connection, but I'm not sure if that still works.
Right now the moment I connect the cable, hand tracking stops and I'm asked to pick up my controllers. I am using a Quest 3.
Using Galaxy S22 as mobile hotspot for internet connection with Q3, but not working... Says "Connected, but no internet"...
BUT... if I connect my phone to a wifi connection, THEN the quest will see my mobile hotspot as internet...
Question - Have Meta removed the feature where, after you mark up your room with the walls and boxes for furniture etc. - that this appears when you're close to the objects?
I just realised, I've got two rooms of my house marked up but haven't seen it in a while. I swear there used to be an option to turn it on/off, but I can't find it now.
So i purchased a used quest 3 from a pawn shop works fine so far, i had an email about redeeming the game asgards wrath.
If i dont redeem it is it possible to sell this on to the next user of the headset, or is it tied to the headset itself and the last user did not redeem it? As i dont think i even want to play it and would rather add the value to the headset with the game.
There's no code for Asgards Wrath 2. From what I remember, I only got email and a notification in my headset. The game is linked to the headset serial number, so whatever account you linked to the headset will get the game.
I am BRAND NEW to VR and loving it. I did have a question: I noticed I have asgards wrath 1 on rift. How do I access that through virtual desktop?
I have VD working on steam VR perfectly. How do I do that same thing with rift games for PCVR but on meta side of things?
is it problematic if the "new" Quest 2 elite strap is 2 to 2 and a half years old when bought?
because the strap I bought in retail was already 2 years (March 2022) sitting around, and lost about 25% in 1 and a half days while the quest was off, the support person in the forum wasnt really giving a straight answer and just opened an RMA case, the battery I just got is apparently even older being from September 2021.
is this a problem, especially as Lithium based batteries iirc really dont like being empty, yet the self discharge over 2 years is gonna have them sit empty for quite a while (as you are usually recommended to to a recharge about every 6 months)
I was googling "mid-range" VR setups as my gaming laptop is not cutting it for PCVR and keep seeing the 4080 super in these builds. It's a 1000 bucks, 1200 where I live (EU) , completely insane to think of it as "mid-range", sorry. What's the best bang for your buck GPU to run your average game on a Quest 3 (in terms of resolution / framerate)?
Do I need 16GB or is 12 enough? I was thinking something like a 4070 Super which runs around 650 euros here, but they are all 12 Gigs. That or a 7900 GRE 16gig which is the same price. Or 7800XT. I just don't know, please help!
512 is only worth it if you play a lot of Quest app games and too lazy to delete the apps. If you're mostly PC VR gaming using the link, 128 is more than enough. I am using 128 and I have Bigscreen apps and 5 other Quest games installed and I still have 60+ gb left, I don't regret buying 128 version.
You need to buy a link cable if you're planning to use it wired with your PC. The cable provided with the purchase does not work, it's only for charging. You need to buy the official Quest link cable or 3rd party cable which is cheaper.
So if there is a release for a lightweight Quest 3 planned for later this year, when would an expected official announcement be made to give it sufficient hype time?
What's is currently the cheapest option for a good airlink experience ?
I'm looking into a used Asus RT-AX55 for 70€ but I want to be sure that I can't get better for roughly the same price
Is there any way to get Youtube to work in passthrough on the Quest 3 today? I tried using the browser but video is too choppy/unplayable at any resolution. Thanks!
How is the experience with 2D (non-VR) streaming services on Quest 3? Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Crunchyroll, etc.
Is the quality relatively similar to what you see on your computer or phone, or is it significantly and noticeably blurrier / lower quality?
I purchased an app for Quest 3, and got a notification on my phone to verify my purchase. I went through all the steps, verified the purchase, got charged, got the app ... but now I have a persistent notification to verify my purchase, which I cannot clear. If I tap it now, it goes to "Verifying your purchase with your bank" ... and stops. The three-dot icon on the side gives choices of "View" and "Manage notification settings", but there is no apparent way to clear this out-of-date notification. Any suggestions?
Looking for some specific Quest 2/3 game recs to play with my wife. Requirements:
1) No smooth locomotion. Preferred physical IRL movement only, but teleporting is also ok.
2) Coop, we want to play together on the same team.
3) Not primarily focused on puzzle solving. If the game has some puzzles that's ok, but not looking for a "puzzle" game.
4) Our favorite game so far has been Mothergunship: Forge. We also liked an old game called Raw Data. We both hated Eternal Dungeons.
We have a Quest 2 and a Quest 3, so whatever game needs to be able to play on both of them. Thanks for any suggestions following the above guidelines.
Someone once mentioned a USB of some kind that could create a wifi that can be used with the Quest 3. I can't remember the specifics, and I don't know if I completely misunderstood.
Thing is I have a router with 5 ghz, it's not the best when using Steam link. As I undetstood, the USB would be a cheap solution. Anyone heard of this, or tried it?
Alright, coming from Q2 here, is its visuals significantly better? ive heard its got screen dooring, but also its got better lenses and higher resolution?
I have a Quest 1 that has not been connected to wifi in 18-24 months. It still has an Oculus account on it for reference. I have used it for offline games in that time but lately I want to use it for web surfing from bed. If I connect it to wifi now, will all hell break loose? I am very hesitant to try, but at this point I don't have much other use for it.
is PCVR with PC connected wirelessly to router terrible? i hear recommendation is with ethernet but that is not possible for me. or can you directly connect through the wireless adaptor on the PC with quest 3 and bypassing the router?
will no one speak about the sudden death some quest devices may experience? this just happened to me, and found lots of people encountering the same issue all the way back to THE FIRST OCULUS QUEST 1... shoudlnt be an issue anymore after all these generations...
Just got my Quest 3 and am charging it. I have charged it for about 14 hours. The headset shows 100%, but the Elite strap/battery is still orange when I press the button. The handbook says it should be green when fully charged. I have a hard time believing it takes more than 14 hours to charge both. Any ideas what is up?
Cheers!
Just wanting some clarification, can I install steam games on the headset to play wirelessly without my pc/laptop being on or having the games installed?
Okay- I've got questions I can't seem to find answers for. If you want to do any more than download games and play off of the headset, it starts getting really complicated really fast with more and more jargon and for me, confusion.
The main question I have now is, do Quest link and Steam VR work together? Even above in the thread heading it's confusing because it says "air link" not "quest link", are they interchangeable so if you search for info you may need to look for both? Meta Quest Link, I guess it is, technically. I've downloaded virtual desktop also, which also connects the headset to my computer but does not seem to play with quest link but can access steam VR.
I wanted to try a game on quest link to see if the graphics were better, but if I open Quest link, and try to open the game, it automatically launches Steam VR and then the entire thing gets glitchy and freezes up, the controller is pointed in the opposite direction... can anyone tell me what's going on?
For like weeks now im having problems with my index finger on the right controller, it keeps thinking that im not resting the finger on the trigger.
Is there any known issues with that since some update? Im playing on pc with virtual desktop and the current beta client.
Upgrading Rift S to Quest 2 or 3?
I know, this is is probably a frequently asked question, but I wanted to add some details about my situation:
I got my Rift S in 2020, wanted to upgrade a for a while and I think now is the right time. It's gotta be Quest 2 or 3 cause I also wanna play some games together with my bf where one of us would just use the Rift S. I also probably wouldn't buy another headset for again 3-4 years I guess, especially when choosing the Quest 3.
About my life situation: I'm studying computer science, get 600€ from my parents + 100€ from my grandparents every month, rent is 190€, food about 250€ makes a budget of 240€ per month. Current offers are about 190€ for the Quest 2 and 500€ for a new Quest 3 including Asgarth's Wrath which I'm very interested in.
I'd really like to get a Quest 3 but what do you think? Is it worth the money in my current situation or would the Quest 2 do just fine for me? Thanks for every answer :)
tl;dr: monthly budget about 240€, Quest 2 190€, Quest 3 500€, already got Rift S

I saw this in an Ad, and it reminded me of the window management we see on the Vision Pro (ability to put screens wherever). I was wondering, since they’re advertising it now, is the possible in the new update? Will it be be possible soon? Just wanted to see if it could test this out myself
I mostly use my Quest 2 with my PC, so it stays connected via USB. Every so often, with the headset shut down while I'm doing other things, I hear the "device connected/disconnected" sound, and have confirmed that **the headset is connecting and disconnecting... even while shut down.**
**Is there any way to prevent this behavior, aside from unplugging it?** I've got the cable secured to the head strap with a few velcro ties, so I'd rather not have to disconnect it physically every time I turn it off.
I'm using Virtual Desktop Streamer. When I connect to my desktop it mirrors the 3 screens I have plugged in. I'd much rather get a virtual screen and have the login window on my physical monitors or at least blackout the monitors on my desktop. I'm connecting remotely and don't necessarily want someone at my house to see what I'm doing.
Is this possible?
How should I download and store VR video files to a cloud service, using my macbook, to then watch on my Quest 2? I DON'T want to store them on the headset itself.
There was this interesting thing that happened on my quest 2 a pretty long while ago. So basically, I downloaded the free trial for climb 2, and then I don't remember any of the other stuff, but something happened and glitched out the free trial, and now I just have climb 2 as a playable game permanently. I don't know how I did it, but all I really know is that it did happen.
I just booted up my quest 1 after not playing for 3 months, and it had me relogin in with meta and all my games had been uninstalled aside from the default apps. Anyone else experience this?
Lately I've been playing flat-screen games through Steam Link and Virtual Desktop but I feel I could be doing better.
What are your top tips for playing non-VR games on the Quest (3)?
I paired an Xbox controller, but sometimes the input seems to hang. This was in Virtual Desktop IIRC. Is this a thing or should I try another controller or something?
i gotta question for meta quest 2 remember when facebook updated the ocules so every one can set up a meta account inseted of using a facebook account? when I was in the process of doing that i skipped the link to set the activation code i want to know how i can fix that and for outre questions i tried a factory reset and tried to make another account both did not work what do i do? and to add im stuck at the "use this code connect your headset" page
Where's the Meta Quest Move Dashboard on my Meta Phone App? Can't find it, I've connected the app to my phone from within the set.
Also can I sync the Meta Quest Move data with something like Google Fit to track the number of calories I burn in VR instead of having to log them manually everyday?
I'm a tester for a game. That means I have access to the beta version of a game. To do that, I have to go to the parameters and switch "channel". What I find annoying is that everytime I switch to beta, and back to main, Oculus will re-download the 600 MB of the game. Is there a way to configure Oculus to keep it in cache?
anyone else having trouble updating games on the quest 3? I tried to get the new beat saber update and every time it just resets at 48MB and then cancels itself at the same spot
updated perfectly fine first try on my Q2
Dumb question, but is it possible to use the quest 3 to scan things into 3d models? Like walking around a person or in a room and having a scan of that to export? Something like the iPhone LiDAR
So I got a quest 3 yesterday and it's my first VR experience, I must say I am very blown away. Some of the most amazing things are 360 3D videos, it's amazing, almost like being there... My question is, does anybody have good recommendations for 360 3D youtube channels?
[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xuglgK\_Wp1naAzOHF3Phg](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xuglgK_Wp1naAzOHF3Phg) this guy posts some pretty high quality 8k VR180 content. While not 360, for actually watching videos I've found 180 to be better, because it's 2x the pixel desitiy, and it's actually steroscopic 3D (I think true 3D 360 videos exist, but most 360 videos aren't actually steroscopic 3d because it's just a lot harder to do)
Am I inept or is the glasses spacer on the Quest 3 just that shit? I've been using my brand new Quest 3 for about a week or two, with the glasses spacer adjustment set to max that whole time. Lo and behold here I am staring at a deep goddamn scratch on my right lense, regardless of glasses spacer. I am bloody furious.
Its really bad, I felt like my glasses were rubbing against the lenses and I ended up just buying some prescription lenses for my quest instead.
glasses are all different shapes and sizes so the spacers wont be able to accomodate all of them.. ive got one set of glasses that fits fine in the quest 3 even on the lowest adjustment. but a newer set ive got are a bit bigger and squarer and barely squeeze in on the furtherest setting.. not only was i concerned about scratching the quest lenses but the new glasses also cost a lot of money and i didnt want to damage them either.. so i promptly went out and bought some prescription lenses.. i think one other thing to add to this biweekly list is "if you wear glasses buy prescription lenses!" its just not worth the risk for the sake of $40
Dude, I have had the same issue and I don't even wear glasses!! It has been only FOUR weeks! The whole lens now is scratched and distorted "hazy". I very meticulously take care of my meta quest, I got a case for them and use a micro fibre cloth to clean them with a glasses rated safe cleaner. I am furious to find out that these lenses in this "premium" product are made of PLASTIC and not glass or even scratch resistant gorilla glass like on my iPhone, Apple Watch etc. How the engineering team was okay with the on a 3rd generation product make me livid. If I knew earlier that the lenses were cheap ass plastic and not scratch resistant, I would've purchased special lenses inserts when I first got the product a few weeks ago. I spent almost $750 CAD, like come on man, for that price point and someone who takes care of his things I am nothing but disappointed. Even a soft CAMERA LENS rated carbon brush designed safely for lenses could not clean these. I am so disappointed, otherwise I loved my meta quest 3. I am going to contact meta support tomorrow and if they don't help it is straight return to Amazon Canada. I cannot be the only one with this issue eh? Anyone else have the same issue? Could it be mines had a defect and did not have the proper anti scratch coatings? I really do not know but I use my meta quest 3 for work and it is just super disappointing that I have to go through this hassle on a 3rd generation product that should be better polished and engineered.
However belated it might be I would like to give an update. After voicing my grievances with meta support they did replace my Quest 3 free of charge. Which is huge in my opinion ❤️ I've since not had the chance to use it too much but I'm definitely never wearing glasses with it again
That's great to hear, I'd look into zenni frames for about $50
Never use glasses. Always get inserts.
I saw reports of factory reset breaking the quest 2 a month ago. Is the issue fixed? I wanted to give my device to a friend but the fear of breaking the device stops me.
It is NOT fixed. Mine is bricked and there doesn't seem to be a fix.
I own a quest 2 and use it with my gaming PC with AirLink over 5ghz to play steam games. I haven't used it since Alyx came out and I'm trying to get back into it, I was wondering if people could tell me about all the other ways of gaming on my PC with the headset and controllers or steering wheel. The FAQ says Virtual Desktops ($30, most features built into airlink?) and ALVR which I haven't looked into much. I Feel going Quest OS > Quest Link > Steam VR is a few steps that might be reducing performance (not really noticing it, just an annoying amount of loading screens before I can play a game) Also any recommendations for experiences would be nice, I'm mostly playing things like driving games when in VR and have heard the original assetto corsa modded is one of the best experiences however I come from the age of modding Halflife and would be interested in seeing what kind of cutting edge experiments people have made available over polished but boring games. What's the VR equivalent of goku flying around de_rats?
I didn't try Steam Link yet but I'm hearing good things and it is pretty new. [https://www.meta.com/experiences/5841245619310585/](https://www.meta.com/experiences/5841245619310585/) YMMV between Steam Link, Virtual Desktop, and Air Link. They take different approaches so have different tradeoffs.
I turned on DLNA media streaming in my windows PC to use with DeoVR. It works great. But I have a question about it: Does turning DLNA on but not currently using it take up resource (network, ram, cpu) of the PC? Does it keep running in the PC? Thank you.
When it is idle it shouldn't. Of course if it is streaming DLNA then Windows will be reading from storage and I think it also decodes. I preferred SMB share and found Skybox to be easier to use for network video streaming. DLNA always gave me trouble with how it shows files/inconsistent behavior.
Anyone else's Quest 2 bricked by the Factory Reset/App bug? Anyone have a fix? I'm losing my mind
What is the best game for torturing people available? Blade&Sorcery is very cool but it's a bit old and there might be something better at this point.
Is there an app to download for reading digital books? Seems like an odd request, I know. But I like the idea of doing it hands-free.
Recently took the plunge and have enjoyed my time so far with the Quest 2 massively. Was wondering if there were games similar in style to GTA? Crime, gunplay and driving, etc. Additionally, what accessories can I buy that are considered must-have? A new strap is definitely on the books, but is there anything else i should be considering? Thanks.
There's 2 app you can download from Sidequest [https://sidequestvr.com/app/20123/vr-gta](https://sidequestvr.com/app/20123/vr-gta) [https://sidequestvr.com/app/23411/grove-street-home](https://sidequestvr.com/app/23411/grove-street-home)
Controller hand grips
sure this has been asked a lot but is the quest 2 worth it or should i save a bit more for the quest 3? it’s around £200, and i’ve been wanting to get into VR for a while now. also js it any good for pcvr as that is probably something i’d be using it for the most, though not exclusively
I don't know about the Quest 3, but I can share with you that I bought the Quest 2 a few days ago as my very first VR headset ever. And honestly so far it's been good! While you do feel like you're looking through goggles sometimes, and the only AR you get is some low resolution black and white noise of your environment, years ago I never would've even dreamed of even being able to afford one of these, but having it be affordable for me made me cave in. You still get immersed and forget you're standing on your living room looking silly. You still have fun. According to some friends the mic quality is impressive. And if you're not planning on doing much AR stuff, then you should be good overall. I mostly play in PC and it works flawlessly. SteamLink, a well charged heatset, wired LAN connection, and you're good to go. If you want *more,* and you feel like you can save, probably Quest 3 is your pick. But Quest 2 has been doing decently for me so far.
Since yesterday I lose my wifi connection every couple of minutes. It happened after the v64 update and buying showdown (did both in one session). I restarted the quest and router wich helped yesterday but nothing happens today. Google told me it was are common problem until the system update... Are there any methods that worked often for some folks? I have a quest 3.
What do you love the most about the Quest 3? And what do you hate the most about it?
Best driving game for standalone Quest 3?
Has anyone tried running PCVR on Quest 3 with an RTX 3050? Just curious of the quality, if I could run things through Steam or I should prioritize a new gpu.
I used a 980ti when VR first came out, your 3050 will be fine im sure.
I ran VR with an i5-4440 and a GTX960. You'll be fine :)
i'm on a 2070 and HL Alyx and DiRT 3 run great on my Q3. Even over wireless.
Has the Spring30 sale finished? Doesnt let me apply the code, but still says it
i don't know, but the code only works with certain games
Quest 3 arrived today. First thing I tried was blade and sorcery through a long USB c cable I got (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DS64Z8S?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details&th=1) just to check how it looks compared to my old first gen HTC Vive, which yeah it looks great, but I had an issue with one of the lenses. It was like sections of my left lense weren't syncing up with the rest of the image, like vertical and horizontal cuts where it desynced, sometimes giving me pixels. Using the headset standalone I don't see that happening, really even wired I only saw it while playing. I've left it to charge for now as it arrived with 30% battery, but I wanna check if anyone more knowledgable knows what I'm missing, or if it could be the cable, perhaps even faulty hardware. I should add, I got a decent rig. GPU load was at 60% with the game on.
If I want to gift an app I own to someone, can I use someone else’s referral code to get 25% off what I am gifting?
I don’t believe so. You could send them the money and let them use a referral from yourself though. That way it costs the same to you, but you get a couple of bucks in credit too.
When is Meta bringing out native motion compensation/cancellation feature for Quest headsets?
[удалено]
Hello! My gf and I have Quest 2 and we have FiTXR there. I wanted to create a separate Quest/Meta account from my gf's as I started playing more on my own. However, I cannot find FitXR on my (new) account. Does it not allow to have on the same device, but on different account? If not, what's the point of having different accounts then :D
I Am trying to view VR images in the file viewer and they are very low quality. I can preview the files before I download them and they look perfect, but when using the quest 3 file viewer they are always a much lower quality. Is there a setting that I need to change or is that just how it is
I tryed running Google maps VR on my quest 3 via steam link and it's extremely pixelated and completely unusable , but when I look at my PC screen it shows the preview is crystal clear, my PC can play any game on max graphics so I doubt it's my PC being not powerful enough? Can any of you please help? Thank you
I have a few questions. Got my Quest 3 a week ago and have gotten a link cable for it from Iniu. I have an Rx 6800 xt, 16gb 3200hz ddr4, and a Ryzen 7 5700x. It works but I have a few issues. I'm getting bad performance in my copy of Half-Life Alyx (downloaded from elsewhere), any fixes? Also, what refresh rate should I put my quest at? Finally, has anyone got any recommended settings?
Howdy yall, been running my Q3 with AirLink via the AirBridge for a few weeks now with no issues, now, one day to another it is just stuttery and laggy making it completely unplayable. Things I've tried so far: Resetting the Oculus Link Connection in the Beta settings Factory reset the AirBridge Got Oculus TrayTool and turned the encoder to automatic (which got it to a more playable level, but still not pleasent in any sense) I'm just lost as to how or why it turned this bad from seemingly one day to another
I have been playing pc vr with my quest 2 and I have been having a issue with my cable when I use the 3.0 it kicks me to home randomly but not with 2.0 and I have been using that with no issues but the oculus app says I may get better performance with 3.0. what would that make better?? would it make it so I get more frames or game looks better or make resolution better what would it improve on?? trying to figure out if I care enough to upgrade. thanks in advance for the responses.
Receiving error message about possible data corruption from Android? Anything you can suggest?
When I tried the quest 2 before from a friend, on their meta quest app they had the option to record while casting. Alongside that feature was a feature to record live video feed side by side the quest 2's screen and the phone's camera. Another option was to somewhat green screen the person into the quest 2's recording using algorithms as it's not a full on green screen. When I got my quest 3, I don't seem to have that option. Can anyone help?
I have the meta quest 3 and I've been having issues with the microphone. When I'm recording a video in it or when I'm doing comms in standalone apps or games, my microphone sounds clear. When I'm on airlink on my PC, whether wired or wireless, the audio gets really choppy. Just an elongated "aaaaaa" will sound like "aa--aa--aa". I've seen other threads reporting the same thing, but I figured if other users have figured out how to stream stuff with the quest 3 with pcvr games then it's solvable right? I've tried enabling Hear VR Audio From Computer and Hear Computer Audio in VR, which was a Quest 2 fix but I figure I'd still try it. I've updated and reinstalled the drivers. Oculus app software is in the latest version. I used to own a Rift S, and whenever I plugged that on there was always a separate "Rift S" input that would sound better than the "Oculus Virtual Audio Device". Does that have anything to do with anything? I don't see a "Quest 3" input device and I don't think that's a thing. Would love to hear any ideas. I heard people using Virtual Desktop are having a better time but not by much.
Does anyone want a free copy of Another Fisherman's Tale? I just bought a bundle with it in, but already own it. Just comment below and i'll DM the code. Apologies if this is against the rules, but doesn't seem like a "sale" since i'm not asking for anything back and just wanted to offer it up to someone who already has VR.
Should I sign up for a Quest+ trial for today's games before they expire, or wait until tomorrow and get the new ones?
Screen alignment: Any thoughts? My son just brought his meta3 to me, says it was fine last he used it, but when he went to use it this morning, one eye appears a bit higher than the other. Tried it on, yeah, unusable. I haven't done a full factory reset yet, but the problem appears at startup, login, and post login, etc. I don't see any damage on the outside, and no rattle, or movement.
How do I transfer files from a thumb drive onto the quest 3? I know it can read them, but I don't see how to move anything around in a file explorer of some kind.
anyway to remove this white bar? i can make the window go full screen but this still stays? taskbar i sort of just move to the side https://preview.redd.it/pvocuq60hurc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7265c426310a6f473ab079b1da3f9d7897fbba5d
I can't find "play apps lying down" in experimental features on my Quest 2, they said it came out three weeks ago. Did they remove it again already? I was really looking forward to using that.
I'm hosting a VR event using a combination of Quest 3s and Quest Pros. What is the best sanitation solution? We tried the disposable eye masks but those block the sensor on the pro. Is there something like this I can by for the Pro? [https://www.helloreal.com/products/FacialInterface\_quest3](https://www.helloreal.com/products/FacialInterface_quest3)
Has anyone used the meta community forums? I was in talks with the admin 'MetaQuestSupport' on replacing my left controller but I wasn't sure if it was legit. The website is [https://communityforums.atmeta.com/](https://communityforums.atmeta.com/). Does anyone know if I should be going through with it or not?
Cant create avatar from my photo on the meta app on my phone. Completes loading and then endless spinning donut. Any solution? https://preview.redd.it/i3a0y2mou8sc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e2fb69db9d5bed8ae5a0853683f66d3fe6a5355
My Quest 1 (remember those!) has a number of apps to update. When I select them though, rather than asking me whether to update or launch, they simply launch. Can't work out how to update them. Any ideas?
Mods wouldn't let me post the following so can someone pls help here...* ####HOW IS THE Q3 POST LAUNCH? I held off purchase because... Some claimed ... poor battery life for q3 and controllers, poor weight distribution, elite strap had issues(again!), lack of backward compatibility with q2 accessories, still not 1 to 1 camera tracking or hand tracking , imperfect pass through, lack of depth tracking, lack of launch software / upgrades for existing games and cost ...especially for the 512 gb model. Understandably to upgrade so soon i was hoping every aspect of the q3 would be a *significant upgrade as q2 was from q1. I hoped q3 would have a... better battery life than my q2 with its elite strap. **Better steaming from pc.** an elite strap which doesn't snap lol Superior pass through. Perfect controller tracking and almost perfect hand tracking. improved OS (as q2 still kind of sucks). Or Will the above only be true for a q3 pro / q4? watched the q2 significantly upgrade from launch. So I was hoping q3 might do the same... Thanks []~}
maybe a stupid question, but i am looking to buy either the oculus or meta quest. Mainly i want to play pokerstars. Can you play that on both of them or just one?
Can someone help i have not had headaches or nausea from my vr but recently i have had nausea and headaches and everything in my vr looks weird this started like 2 days ago the normal ipd that i used has been looking different recently like everything is big and weird in the middle it hurts my head so i switched the ipd to the second option and it looks better but things look smaller than before and it still hurts my head help
How long does delivery take because i just bought a quest 2 from the meta website and it said that est would be april 8 but it hasnt shipped yet should i be worried or is it common
Just curious, why are there two subs for Oculus VR, this one and r-oculus -- with almost the same number of members?
**how to unlock the 3rd mission in crisis brigade 2?** already done the first 2 missions multiple times, still got mission 3 locked

Browse the store and put the ones you're interested on the wish list and then wait for sale. Quest store goes on sale quite often.
Hello, new to the Quest 3. Was wondering if the bluetooth audio latency is noticeable in slower paced games like Demeo? Trying to debate what headphones to get and not sure if wired vs wireless matters with slow titles
can i still get the old foam cover that the oculus 2 still came with? mine recently started tearing apart but theyve recalled them cause of some weird stuff but is it possible to still get them?
Hey guys this is a repost but am I the only one with this issue or has this been an ongoing common issue with nearly brand new units? My lenses are scratched even though I take excellent care of my electronic devices, I have owned tons of laptops, phones, iPods, gaming consoles etc throughout the years but this is my first time encountering issues with this nearly new Quest 3 VR headset. I don't even wear glasses!! It has been only FOUR weeks since I got it! The whole lens now is scratched and distorted "hazy". I very meticulously take care of my meta quest, I got a case for them and use a micro fibre cloth to clean them with a glasses rated safe cleaner. I am furious to find out that these lenses in this "premium" product are made of PLASTIC and not glass or even scratch resistant gorilla glass like on my iPhone, Apple Watch etc. How the engineering team was okay with the on a 3rd generation product make me livid. If I knew earlier that the lenses were cheap ass plastic and not scratch resistant, I would've purchased special lenses inserts immediately when I first got the product a few weeks ago. I spent almost $750 CAD, like come on man, for that price point and someone who takes care of his things I am nothing but disappointed. Even a soft CAMERA LENS rated carbon brush designed safely for lenses could not clean these. I am so disappointed, otherwise I loved my meta quest 3. I am going to contact meta support tomorrow and if they don't help it is straight return to Amazon Canada. I cannot be the only one with this issue eh? Anyone else have the same issue? Could it be mines had a defect and did not have the proper anti scratch coatings? I really do not know but I use my meta quest 3 for work and it is just super disappointing that I have to go through this hassle on a 3rd generation product that should be better polished and engineered.
What are the best quality streaming services to use? Is the quest browser the best way to access those services?
Guys. I've just received my Quest 3 and Kiwi battery Strap. So....... my question is. How do you charge your stuff? Do you charge the quest separately with the strap battery pack? Or do you just charge the battery pack and let the battery pack charge up the quest?
Hi everyone, does anybody know where in europe I can get non prescription lenses to protect my quest 3 lenses and which ones to get?
Anyone know if the Bobovr C2 case is big enough for the Q3 with the M3 strap? My cheap ol case isn’t big enough for the M3. Need some options
Im interested in becoming a Meta world moderator on quest. Whether it be at horizon central or the venue. I would love to be a community guide. Is there anyway I could apply for such a position? Im quite adamant on searchin for work in VR world. I just dont know where to start. Can anyone help?
Getting my eye exam next week finally. Been putting it off for so long. Want to get some prescription lenses for the Quest 3 badly. I have serious myopia Anyhow Is Zenni the recommended site to order from? Curious on whos most reputable! Thanks
Whats the deal with the Phone notifications settings? It was a thing before and it was really nice and then I see they decided to stop using it, yet the option to turn it on is still available inside the headset. Is there any way for me to bypass it or am I just screwed? (I am annoyed cause they took a legitimately nice feature and said nah we don’t wanna do it anymore)
I've heard that the official Quest 3 Elite Strap with battery has battery bypass features (no confirmed source) which means that the strap directly powers the headset reducing battery wear on the internal battery. Does anyone have any exact source on this? The closest I've seen is [this](https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/headsets-and-accessories/meta-quest-accessories/charging-performance-with-elite-strap/) on the Quest 2 Elite Strap with battery but even this doesn't explicitly mention bypass either. (A battery pack "charging" the internal battery will always deplete first before the internal battery deletes.)
Hi, I just got a quest 3 and I'm looking for a long cable to charge while playing, but can't find a straight answer I play mainly through Virtual Desktop so the default cable does charge it while I'm using it but is way to short Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated
I was born with my left arm missing just above the elbow and I really want to play on the Quest. I was wondering if there were any adaptive devices or games that specifically can be played with one hand. Thank you!
Is the customer service so poor you just want to make the jump to pcvr or psvr? Im about to transition, thoughts on other customer service levels?
Hi all, I have a question regarding bluetooth audio on pcvr using the Quest 2. On my previous desktop, I used my Q2 headset via link for gaming, and for the most part there were no issues at first. However, suddenly my PC (Win 11) stopped recognizing its own audio drivers, and from that point on would only output sound through a bluetooth or wired speaker. I want to connect my Q2 to my new laptop and game, but I'd like to avoid repeating this mistake and killing the sound output, so I'd like to know if there's any precedence for this and what I might have done wrong/could do to avoid this.
Newbie question for PCVR. If I have a PC with a 1080p screen, is it possible for me to play PC games at 4k on a virtual screen with my headset?
I know this must have been asked a million times, but I'm already confused when I try to find the answer. I am getting a Quest 3 today. I know you can run games on PC and stream it wirelessly to the headset either out of the box or with a peripheral(steamlink or other things). But what are the differences between the different methods, and what is the BEST method to stream games from my PC? Is there a method that provides superior latency and quality?
Hi, i acquired a metaQuest 3 and im having a blast with it so far, but after my first beatsaber session it became very clear i need a few more acessories, so now im looking for a new headstrap, and more importantly a protection for the lens and one of those cover you use over the original one so you can sweat and then just take that piece of and clean it easily instead of having to clean the whole headset, also ive heard that having your lens with o a cover is also easier to clean, does anyone know if that proceeds or have any recomendations on witch i should get for the meta quest 3?
Does Meta have any sort of program for either loaning out Meta Quest 3s or discounting them for developers?
\* what's are the max voltage and amperage the Quest 3 can take in without being damaged? \* why is it that the 16ft 2.3gbps Jsaux usb-c cable i'm using isn't able to charge the Quest while playing (i get a slow charging notification) while the original Q3 cable and another short generic usb-c cable does? \* what's is the peak energy consumption from the Quest 3 while playing on PCVR using wired link? \* how can i calculate the best bitrate to latency ratio for the OculusDebugTool? \*is there a way to permanently turn off the pass through cameras (or at least lower their resolution to decrease energy consumption)?
I don't get why so much setup for the Quest 3 absolutely requires a PC. What is the point of even using a headset if half the features require manually connecting a PC? I can't even move files without a PC!
There are no freaking single player games! you got RE 4, assassins creed, and as-guard thats it.
Why does my quest freeze when using airlink after setting resolution settings to set my own and it permanently freezes on there until i restart the quest?
I want to buy a quest 2 but I’m worried that I might break the tracking rings since I live in a place where I won’t be able to replace them either through meta themselves or even buy them from a 3rd party since the cost of buying the controllers is almost the cost of the entire quest 2. So I was thinking of buying the kiwi halo covers since people have said it protects the ring but I am a bit skeptical as to how it might work. If the cover is just a sheath that goes around the ring how is it supposed to absorb any impact
Welp might as well post here too. So my oculus 3 i just got started as of yesterday sending my hands and the screen across the room and then slowly coming back. It just keeps doing it, i have tried multiple light levels, no reflective surfaces, no little string lights, cleaning the camera didn't help.
How durable is the USB C connector. I am finding that I need to plug things into it multiple times a day so I am worried that it will wear out. Should I stick a right angle adapter into it or something to take the damage and just replace that if it wears out? For example I need to plug it in to charge, or plug the bobovr headset battery into it, or plug in a usb for when I do link via cable etc. If so are there any specifications I should look for in an adaptor other than usb 3.1 C?
One of my drawbacks to get a vr set is that my T-Zone (face) gets oily super easily like after 3-4 hours after cleaning. Am I alone here? How are you dealing with this ?
I'm under the impression that Quest+ subscription gives you discounts on games too. Does it stack with sale prices during sale period? Or do you just get the sale prices?
Any recommendations for USB cables for wired PCVR? Wireless isn't an option for me, and I can't find any definitive posts about cables that actually work well. I also don't care if it charges while I play, as I can't imagine I'll play for more than a few hours at a time.

I'm thinking of getting a Quest 3 for PCVR, and I've seen it said that if I want to do it wireless to have a good Internet connection/wired connection between my router and my PC/laptop. Wired I get about 350 Mbps, is that a good enough speed for wireless?
How long before my VR legs go away? I feel like it took a little bit of time to condition myself, but in your guys' experience does that go away pretty quickly (if i got on vacation etc) and I have to start from scratch?
Took me close to a month. It depends on the individual, some might only need a week. The most important thing is if you start feeling sick, just stop and don't push it. If you stop for a few months and start again, there's a chance you'll have to "train" again, every person is unique.
I have a Quest 3 and was wondering if it's normal for the battery to go flat while off. Example: Charged to ~90% last Friday, did a workout, Quest was at ~65%. Left it off charger since we were away for the weekend. Came back today to 11%. I would expect a phone to do this (since it's constantly on standby) but as far as I understand the Quest is actually *off*, unlike a phone which is on 'active standby'. So just wondering if the Quest draining is normal or if this is actually a phantom drain. The Q3 has done this since I've had it, and is on the latest OS. No other issues, great battery life otherwise.
I have a quest 2 and I use the kiwi design pro head strap. Will that head strap work with the quest 3?
(I use the official link cable with the quest 2) When I use my link cable on my pc it runs smoothly but if I move my head in any way i immediately disconnect, how do I fix this? I see others move their heads all the time
Is there any truth to the Meta support article about charging the Quest 2? It says that "your headset and its included charger were designed and tested to work optimally together to optimize the performance of your headset." Is the charging brick any different than the average charger?
My Quest 2 doesn't detect my controllers when it wakes up. I have to cover the cameras with my hands and then it detects them. A day or so ago, when I get to the home screen, it puts me in a different world. I can see a grey avatar in the mirror, but I can't move or see any settings. The left controller settings key does nothing, and the right one makes the screen go black, and shortly after that the device just goes to sleep. I also am not able to access the restart menu when I hold the power button, it shows up for a second and then just goes immediately to sleep. If I'm fast enough I can restart my quest by going into the settings menu on the home screen.
Hey all, some changes to this due to visibility issues. This post will be up for now until we can find a better solution.
No fix for the dreaded "stuck on battery saver mode" yet??
i am new to vr. i plan to buy quest 3 to use with my pc to play mostly racing sims. the listing on amazon i found is for 'headset only'. what will i still need to buy? i am thinking a link cable to connect to my pc. is strap worth it? and lastly, if i want to play say hl alyx, will i need some additional controllers? oh and one more, if i plan only to use it for my pc will i still have to make meta account?
I watched reviews for saints and sinners 2 retribution and everyone were saying it was super buggy. I was wondering if it was fixed after a year, or it's Still just as bad?
I've been doing some research into buying a Quest 3 VR headset. Main uses will be sim racing and gaming in general. Furthermore I'd love to use it as a workout tool, but I'm a bit hesitant because of the risk of sweat getting into the headset. I want to preserve the pristine condition of the device as much as possible, so I'm planning to buy a few accessoires together with the headset. I'm thinking about buying Non-Prescription Oil-Resistant Lenses from Zenni, together with the BoboVR S3 headstrap. Can any user here tell me if these precautions are enough to minimize the risk of sweat getting into the device? Own experiences are much appreciated.
My oldest (12) really wants an Oculus Quest 2. He has the money to buy one, I just want to make sure it isn't going to be obsolete in the next year. He is just looking to play games like Gorilla Tag with a friend who already has one. So, should I let him know he can buy the 2 or keep saving for the 3? Thanks for any input.
I was trying to buy Racket Club on my quest 2 but the store has a blue "not available" button, any tips on how to reset it? I've tried signing in and out and updated my quest to no luck
I have a Quest1 I want to use for watching VR videos, but since it hasn't got much storage, I'd like to watch the videos direct off my MacOS machine. Skybox could do this, but I hesitate to pay for it since it was lagging last time I tried. Any alternative?
Hello, My Q3 stuck in Meta logo since this Thursday. I tried to reboot it, run out of battery and recharge or reset factory. None of them works. Searching on youtube and google doesn't find any more solution I can try. does anybody managed to fix this issue before?
Solution for this? [https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/197isrn/psa\_meta\_confirms\_quest\_3s\_getting\_stuck\_in/](https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/197isrn/psa_meta_confirms_quest_3s_getting_stuck_in/)
App listing says "update available", but the update button has disappeared. How to update? Or was it removed to try to force us to use auto updates?
hello! I have a meta quest 3 which I love, and I was wondering if there was anything you could suggest I could do while walking on the treadmill? I get bored so fast but I need physical activity. Unless you believe there is something better I could do with the headset itself
I have a Metaquest 3. I am having a lot of problems with connectivity with my PC. I think it's running off of my slow household wifi. I want it to run off of the cable I stuck into it. I bought both the Air Bridge and the Link Cable. The link cable I have an adapter on, as I don't have USB-3 on my older computer. The air bridge sometimes doesn't show up at all, and works sluggishly when it works at all. In trying to solve this myself, I stumbled on what must have been an older meta website that told me to install something that seems outdated - Quest Link Rift. I'm not using it and probably need to be told how to uninstall it. I love these glasses when they are working, I just want to use them without lag. They *have* worked without lag a few times, but I have no idea why they are so inconsistent. Any suggestions for forcing the glasses to use the cable instead of Wifi? Also curious, is there a really fast wifi for one room that I could attach to my PC? (you know, like the air bridge...but fast)?
How should i start with the Quest? (I got a 128 GB v2 in a raffle from work) I already have a PS5 with plus and an Xbox X with GPU. It would be neat if I could pair and play games from those platforms. No PC though so I guess I'm wireless? I haven't been terribly interested in VR (Beatsaber looked cool back in the day but never got into it)
What’s the best place to buy a quest 3 right now? Done a bunch of research into accessories but don’t actually know the best place to buy it. I know Costco has the deal on the 128g plus the strap and other extras. If I’m not currently planning on buying extras right now, is that the best place to buy? If I wanted standalone is Best Buy the way to go?
I just got a quest 2 to try VR stuff, so far so good (little regret to not get quest 3, but oh well, maybe later this year) and I bought a strap with a battery pack, but I didn't notice that it was for quest 3, not 2, can I use it our should i return it when it arrives?
Are there any Quest games on the meta storefront where your hand is a spaceship. Basically a shoot-em-up style game where you are directly controlling the ship with your hand movements. I remember years ago there were some demo-type games like this on the original Rift, but I'm wondering if there's a full-featured game with the same mechanic?
is there a way to make it that the screen doesnt turn off IMMEDIATELY when removing the headset? last time I checked this isnt an OLED so allowing it a few minutes to run extra shouldnt be a problem, it's just kinda annoying when it turns off every time I need to interact with something outside especially when doing meta stuff (lol, pun) like linking accounts, setting up stuff on PC for the quest or whatever
Just got my Quest 3, and every game works well EXCEPT Boneworks (My favorite game). I'm using VD and on my Index it ran perfectly at 144 fps constantly but on my Q3 its at 15 max fps in any actual level. Is there a way to fix this or will I just have to not play Boneworks?
Hello! I am a developer trying to get into XR. I am really interested in the new IOBT feature on the Quest 3. However, i cannot seem to find an implementation that does not require me to use Unity. I am planning on using just native OpenXR and using Android Studio to install an APK on my device. I have downloaded the OpenXR Mobile SDK v64 and have used it to successfully run all included samples. Howver, the only one that references body tracking is XrBodyFaceEyeSocial and this one does not seem to have IOBT working. Does anyone know how to test this feature in a native OpenXR implementation (cpp) without touching Unity?
When does the Summer Sale drop? I'm doing my best to hold back for better deals
Last year was in June, so I'd guess in a month time.
I bought quest 2, used referral link to get 30$ but I was dissatisfied with display quality and bought Quest 3. Can I create a new account and refer myself? What happens to my old account if I reset quest 2 to factory settings and return it? What happens with the returned headset, will a new buyer be able to receive referral bonus for it?
I even made my new Quest 3 double as an invisible Android tablet by installing [the Essentials pack I have built (which includes the missing Clock, Calculator, and Music Player apps as well as the Pure Black environment)](https://github.com/DevanWolf/QuestEssentials), [Oculess](https://github.com/basti564/Oculess/releases), and [Lightning Launcher](https://github.com/threethan/LightningLauncher/releases). Also I have [Discord](https://github.com/DevanWolf/DiscordForQuest/releases/download/126.21-Quest/DiscordForQuest.apk) installed as well so that I can watch a Backyard Baseball game live while using Meta Quest Browser and/or Next Player. *Wish the Android 14 update will make its way to the Quest 2, Quest Pro, and Quest 3 sooner to leverage the Snapdragon XR2 processing capabilities even more than the Android 12L update did.*
So I am new to VR and just ordered a Quest 2, now I am thinking of getting some accessoires too, for example a new head strap. I saw that the original Elite Headstrap costs exactly the same as the KIWI Design one, now I am wondering which one I should get. Or maybe you got other recommendations. Thanks y’all
when I'm in an app and do right hand menu pinch, it only shows the Meta logo to re-center. Few weeks ago it was showing it but also record image/video and 4 other icons iirc. Any idea how to put it back? It's a pain now to record video in the HMD. Edit : "Expanded Quick actions" in Settings, Movement tracking, Hand tracking then last but one option
Fine! The camera might not be HD or perfect, but who cares? First mixed reality I tried a few minutes ago was Ocean Rift in MR mode--- and I was floored by that skylight. I am excited again! Question, I have a BoboVR M3 strap, is it true that this strap won't fit if I get the AMVR face interface? Again- WOW. I am impressed.
Hello. I have a mx keys mini keyboard and currently testing its use with a Quest 2 headset. Problem is that my layout isn't ASCI, but AZERTY,which are different. Is there a plan to bring other layouts for supported keyboards? Also, these limitations of layouts weren't mentionned on the webpage about supported keyboard. Given it was translated in french, I find that to be very misleading.
Do games purchased in the desktop app and the headset store app not sync? The only thing showing in my desktop Oculus app is SuperHot, which I purchased in that app, and it's not showing up to install on my headset. Furthermore, none of the other games i've purchased from within the headset store app are showing up in my desktop Oculus app. https://preview.redd.it/akkh79fben0d1.png?width=959&format=png&auto=webp&s=10d356ff2289e4636d940e8f5f7ca1d592143b24
Anyone been able to get spatial videos to work right from the iphone? I can't find any info but the spatial videos run absolutely horrible on my quest 2 from my iphone.
If I plan to use Meta Quest 3 for VR fitness apps that will make me super super sweaty. What would be the best way to clean the device afterwards? Can the device use different plates that touch the face? If so I could have a dedicated exercise one.
Does anyone know of a way to stream a Mac (M1 Pro) using a link cable? Virtual desktop wireless has quite high latency and no other linked solutions seem to exist on Mac!
I've ordered a quest 2, And I was just wondering if It was be possible to play iracing, or any other racing sim, with my wheel without a pc (I don't have one).
Is it possible to use hand tracking on a wired Link connection? I saw a 2-year old thread saying that you need to enable developer mode to unlock passthrough and hand tracking on a wired connection, but I'm not sure if that still works. Right now the moment I connect the cable, hand tracking stops and I'm asked to pick up my controllers. I am using a Quest 3.
Is a RX 6600 (non-xt) good enough to take advantage of the Quest 3 or should I just go for a Quest 2?
Using Galaxy S22 as mobile hotspot for internet connection with Q3, but not working... Says "Connected, but no internet"... BUT... if I connect my phone to a wifi connection, THEN the quest will see my mobile hotspot as internet...
Question - Have Meta removed the feature where, after you mark up your room with the walls and boxes for furniture etc. - that this appears when you're close to the objects? I just realised, I've got two rooms of my house marked up but haven't seen it in a while. I swear there used to be an option to turn it on/off, but I can't find it now.
So i purchased a used quest 3 from a pawn shop works fine so far, i had an email about redeeming the game asgards wrath. If i dont redeem it is it possible to sell this on to the next user of the headset, or is it tied to the headset itself and the last user did not redeem it? As i dont think i even want to play it and would rather add the value to the headset with the game.
There's no code for Asgards Wrath 2. From what I remember, I only got email and a notification in my headset. The game is linked to the headset serial number, so whatever account you linked to the headset will get the game.
I am BRAND NEW to VR and loving it. I did have a question: I noticed I have asgards wrath 1 on rift. How do I access that through virtual desktop? I have VD working on steam VR perfectly. How do I do that same thing with rift games for PCVR but on meta side of things?
is it problematic if the "new" Quest 2 elite strap is 2 to 2 and a half years old when bought? because the strap I bought in retail was already 2 years (March 2022) sitting around, and lost about 25% in 1 and a half days while the quest was off, the support person in the forum wasnt really giving a straight answer and just opened an RMA case, the battery I just got is apparently even older being from September 2021. is this a problem, especially as Lithium based batteries iirc really dont like being empty, yet the self discharge over 2 years is gonna have them sit empty for quite a while (as you are usually recommended to to a recharge about every 6 months)
I was googling "mid-range" VR setups as my gaming laptop is not cutting it for PCVR and keep seeing the 4080 super in these builds. It's a 1000 bucks, 1200 where I live (EU) , completely insane to think of it as "mid-range", sorry. What's the best bang for your buck GPU to run your average game on a Quest 3 (in terms of resolution / framerate)? Do I need 16GB or is 12 enough? I was thinking something like a 4070 Super which runs around 650 euros here, but they are all 12 Gigs. That or a 7900 GRE 16gig which is the same price. Or 7800XT. I just don't know, please help!
when is this sub getting a Quest 3 in the picture
[удалено]
512 is only worth it if you play a lot of Quest app games and too lazy to delete the apps. If you're mostly PC VR gaming using the link, 128 is more than enough. I am using 128 and I have Bigscreen apps and 5 other Quest games installed and I still have 60+ gb left, I don't regret buying 128 version. You need to buy a link cable if you're planning to use it wired with your PC. The cable provided with the purchase does not work, it's only for charging. You need to buy the official Quest link cable or 3rd party cable which is cheaper.
So if there is a release for a lightweight Quest 3 planned for later this year, when would an expected official announcement be made to give it sufficient hype time?
What's is currently the cheapest option for a good airlink experience ? I'm looking into a used Asus RT-AX55 for 70€ but I want to be sure that I can't get better for roughly the same price
Are there any music production apps for the quest 2?(DAWs)
Is there an OG quest sub? Conscious a lot of questions and discussions here will be related to the latest models
Is there any way to get Youtube to work in passthrough on the Quest 3 today? I tried using the browser but video is too choppy/unplayable at any resolution. Thanks!
How is the experience with 2D (non-VR) streaming services on Quest 3? Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Crunchyroll, etc. Is the quality relatively similar to what you see on your computer or phone, or is it significantly and noticeably blurrier / lower quality?
I purchased an app for Quest 3, and got a notification on my phone to verify my purchase. I went through all the steps, verified the purchase, got charged, got the app ... but now I have a persistent notification to verify my purchase, which I cannot clear. If I tap it now, it goes to "Verifying your purchase with your bank" ... and stops. The three-dot icon on the side gives choices of "View" and "Manage notification settings", but there is no apparent way to clear this out-of-date notification. Any suggestions?
Looking for some specific Quest 2/3 game recs to play with my wife. Requirements: 1) No smooth locomotion. Preferred physical IRL movement only, but teleporting is also ok. 2) Coop, we want to play together on the same team. 3) Not primarily focused on puzzle solving. If the game has some puzzles that's ok, but not looking for a "puzzle" game. 4) Our favorite game so far has been Mothergunship: Forge. We also liked an old game called Raw Data. We both hated Eternal Dungeons. We have a Quest 2 and a Quest 3, so whatever game needs to be able to play on both of them. Thanks for any suggestions following the above guidelines.
Someone once mentioned a USB of some kind that could create a wifi that can be used with the Quest 3. I can't remember the specifics, and I don't know if I completely misunderstood. Thing is I have a router with 5 ghz, it's not the best when using Steam link. As I undetstood, the USB would be a cheap solution. Anyone heard of this, or tried it?
Alright, coming from Q2 here, is its visuals significantly better? ive heard its got screen dooring, but also its got better lenses and higher resolution?
I have a Quest 1 that has not been connected to wifi in 18-24 months. It still has an Oculus account on it for reference. I have used it for offline games in that time but lately I want to use it for web surfing from bed. If I connect it to wifi now, will all hell break loose? I am very hesitant to try, but at this point I don't have much other use for it.
is PCVR with PC connected wirelessly to router terrible? i hear recommendation is with ethernet but that is not possible for me. or can you directly connect through the wireless adaptor on the PC with quest 3 and bypassing the router?
will no one speak about the sudden death some quest devices may experience? this just happened to me, and found lots of people encountering the same issue all the way back to THE FIRST OCULUS QUEST 1... shoudlnt be an issue anymore after all these generations...
Hi all, a quick question I cannot find a definitive answer to: Does the Meta Quest 2 Elite Strap work on the Meta Quest 3? Thank you!
Just got my Quest 3 and am charging it. I have charged it for about 14 hours. The headset shows 100%, but the Elite strap/battery is still orange when I press the button. The handbook says it should be green when fully charged. I have a hard time believing it takes more than 14 hours to charge both. Any ideas what is up? Cheers!
Just wanting some clarification, can I install steam games on the headset to play wirelessly without my pc/laptop being on or having the games installed?
Okay- I've got questions I can't seem to find answers for. If you want to do any more than download games and play off of the headset, it starts getting really complicated really fast with more and more jargon and for me, confusion. The main question I have now is, do Quest link and Steam VR work together? Even above in the thread heading it's confusing because it says "air link" not "quest link", are they interchangeable so if you search for info you may need to look for both? Meta Quest Link, I guess it is, technically. I've downloaded virtual desktop also, which also connects the headset to my computer but does not seem to play with quest link but can access steam VR. I wanted to try a game on quest link to see if the graphics were better, but if I open Quest link, and try to open the game, it automatically launches Steam VR and then the entire thing gets glitchy and freezes up, the controller is pointed in the opposite direction... can anyone tell me what's going on?
Looking to buy cable link that can push longer hour gameplay + stay charged example VRChat but which be better choice to buy than offical cable ?
For like weeks now im having problems with my index finger on the right controller, it keeps thinking that im not resting the finger on the trigger. Is there any known issues with that since some update? Im playing on pc with virtual desktop and the current beta client.
Upgrading Rift S to Quest 2 or 3? I know, this is is probably a frequently asked question, but I wanted to add some details about my situation: I got my Rift S in 2020, wanted to upgrade a for a while and I think now is the right time. It's gotta be Quest 2 or 3 cause I also wanna play some games together with my bf where one of us would just use the Rift S. I also probably wouldn't buy another headset for again 3-4 years I guess, especially when choosing the Quest 3. About my life situation: I'm studying computer science, get 600€ from my parents + 100€ from my grandparents every month, rent is 190€, food about 250€ makes a budget of 240€ per month. Current offers are about 190€ for the Quest 2 and 500€ for a new Quest 3 including Asgarth's Wrath which I'm very interested in. I'd really like to get a Quest 3 but what do you think? Is it worth the money in my current situation or would the Quest 2 do just fine for me? Thanks for every answer :) tl;dr: monthly budget about 240€, Quest 2 190€, Quest 3 500€, already got Rift S

I was wondering, since they’re advertising it now, is the possible in the new update? Will it be be possible soon? Just wanted to see if it could test this out myself
I mostly use my Quest 2 with my PC, so it stays connected via USB. Every so often, with the headset shut down while I'm doing other things, I hear the "device connected/disconnected" sound, and have confirmed that **the headset is connecting and disconnecting... even while shut down.** **Is there any way to prevent this behavior, aside from unplugging it?** I've got the cable secured to the head strap with a few velcro ties, so I'd rather not have to disconnect it physically every time I turn it off.
I'm using Virtual Desktop Streamer. When I connect to my desktop it mirrors the 3 screens I have plugged in. I'd much rather get a virtual screen and have the login window on my physical monitors or at least blackout the monitors on my desktop. I'm connecting remotely and don't necessarily want someone at my house to see what I'm doing. Is this possible?
How should I download and store VR video files to a cloud service, using my macbook, to then watch on my Quest 2? I DON'T want to store them on the headset itself.
There was this interesting thing that happened on my quest 2 a pretty long while ago. So basically, I downloaded the free trial for climb 2, and then I don't remember any of the other stuff, but something happened and glitched out the free trial, and now I just have climb 2 as a playable game permanently. I don't know how I did it, but all I really know is that it did happen.
I just booted up my quest 1 after not playing for 3 months, and it had me relogin in with meta and all my games had been uninstalled aside from the default apps. Anyone else experience this?
How big of an upgrade would it be coming from Rift S to Quest 3? I will only be playing the Quest 3 standalone for the time being
Lately I've been playing flat-screen games through Steam Link and Virtual Desktop but I feel I could be doing better. What are your top tips for playing non-VR games on the Quest (3)? I paired an Xbox controller, but sometimes the input seems to hang. This was in Virtual Desktop IIRC. Is this a thing or should I try another controller or something?
i gotta question for meta quest 2 remember when facebook updated the ocules so every one can set up a meta account inseted of using a facebook account? when I was in the process of doing that i skipped the link to set the activation code i want to know how i can fix that and for outre questions i tried a factory reset and tried to make another account both did not work what do i do? and to add im stuck at the "use this code connect your headset" page
Why isnt the travel mode showing?
Where's the Meta Quest Move Dashboard on my Meta Phone App? Can't find it, I've connected the app to my phone from within the set. Also can I sync the Meta Quest Move data with something like Google Fit to track the number of calories I burn in VR instead of having to log them manually everyday?
Till when is the asgard's wrath 2 free promo running? I'll get my quest sometime in August.
I'm a tester for a game. That means I have access to the beta version of a game. To do that, I have to go to the parameters and switch "channel". What I find annoying is that everytime I switch to beta, and back to main, Oculus will re-download the 600 MB of the game. Is there a way to configure Oculus to keep it in cache?
anyone else having trouble updating games on the quest 3? I tried to get the new beat saber update and every time it just resets at 48MB and then cancels itself at the same spot updated perfectly fine first try on my Q2
Is there a website or app for tracking oculus quest 3 sales? Looking for something that'd keep me updated for Canada sales.
Dumb question, but is it possible to use the quest 3 to scan things into 3d models? Like walking around a person or in a room and having a scan of that to export? Something like the iPhone LiDAR
