Escaping Wonderland
This game appeared on the horizon+ games catalogue recently. I looked forward to playing it because of the reviews. But can't because when I open it up the intro/menu part is constantly spinning around and my controllers aren't even able to click the spinning menu because there's no functionality. Anyone else getting this or is it just me? I have a slight issue with my right controller so it's possible it's just me. The thumbstick won't rotate left atm. I've tried the "drift" remedies suggested online but nothing's worked so far, so it might need replacing as it's annoying even if it's not stopped me playing other games.
How to configure a single Unreal Project for Varjo XR4 and Metaquest 3
Hi , I’m currently working with both a Meta Quest 3 and a Varjo XR-4, using the same Unreal Engine VR project (UE 5.7.4). I recently ran into an issue where VR Preview would not work with the Meta Quest 3 . When launching VR Preview, the Unreal Editor preview window opened in a non-VR state, the camera remained fixed with no head tracking, and the headset was stuck on a loading screen (on unreal editor). After some investigation, I found the following discussion which described the same issue: https://communityforums.atmeta.com/discussions/Questions_Discussions/vr-preview-does-not-work-when-metaxr-plugin-is-enabled-in-unreal-engine/1362455 Following the suggested workaround of removing the Khronos OpenXR registry entry resolved the Meta Quest 3 VR Preview problem. However, after doing so, my project no longer works with the Varjo XR-4, which had been functioning correctly before. My goal is to maintain a single Unreal project that can run on both Meta Quest 3 and Varjo XR-4 without having to delete the Khronos registry folder, switch OpenXR runtimes manually, or modify system configuration each time I change headsets. Has anyone faced this problem and found a workaround for this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Viewing Quest Achievements
We're coming up on a year and we still don't have an official way to view and sort the Quest Achievements that we put forth effort unlocking in our massive VR libraries. Developers continue to include them in games as they know it yields extended play sessions and even users revisiting their games to experience every ounce of the hard work they put into their projects. Currently we can only view them in a recently unlocked list in the Meta Horizon Mobile App, and external websites created by Quest users (which are the most useful way at the moment). People didn't even realize Achievements existed because it was hidden in the Scoreboards App, and users hoped for integration into the Profile itself, similar to Steam, Xbox, and PS. Instead, we were left with a misunderstanding of how important Achievements are to the Quest ecosystem. At the very least, could we please get a way to filter by game/in-progress/completed in the Horizon Mobile App? We would love to see them in-headset eventually, but even a small step forward would revitalize our play sessions. 🙏
URGENT: iOS account stuck in private Pets Park - need server reset
I’m on iPhone. My Horizon Worlds account is server-locked to a private Pets Park instance. I deleted/reinstalled the app, offloaded, updated, restarted phone. Still auto-loads “private park” with “The stream will begin shortly” screen. I cannot access any menu or leave. Please reset my active world to Home.
Achievements Done Right
Why? Currently achievements on meta quest are almost meaningless while even having a designated app almost nobody uses called "scoreboards". I was thinking achievements should get revamped and heres how. How? For users: achievements should be displayed on the control panel and notification panel with a new app introduced named "Achievements" Achievements should have tiers like playstation and xbox. Tiers going 1 (worst) and to 4 (best) Bronze - minor achievements Silver - normal achievements Gold - challenging achievements Platinum - extremely hard achievements (All with complete different sounds for each tier, with platinum being the "best sounding" tier.) For developers: add tools for developers to add tiers for specific achievements.
