Horizon Worlds Bug Report: Crashing Every Time I Select or Move Anything (Meta Quest 3)
What is going on with Horizon Worlds right now? Build Mode keeps kicking me out of my world after just a few object movements. Even selecting or touching an item can cause an instant crash, and it’s been happening constantly on my Meta Quest 3. This doesn’t happen on PC with the bot or in the desktop editor — it’s only the headset version.
Issue Summary:
Horizon Worlds keeps kicking me out of Build Mode on my Meta Quest 3 any time I try to interact with anything — selecting items, moving objects, or opening scripts.
What’s Happening:
- Selecting any item (wall, object, asset, etc.)
- Moving an object even slightly
- Opening or editing any script
→ Causes Horizon to freeze and immediately kick me back to the Horizon menu, with no warning or error message.
Repro Steps:
- Enter my world on a Meta Quest 3
- Go into Build Mode
- Select any object, open any script, or try to move anything
- Horizon crashes and exits Build Mode instantly
Frequency:
- Happens every single time
- Very rarely lets me touch one object before crashing
- 90% of the time it kicks me out immediately
What I’ve Tried:
- Restarting the Quest 3
- Reinstalling Horizon
- Switching Wi-Fi
- Reloading the world
- Loading older backups
- Checking memory (world is well under capacity)
- Testing other worlds (no issues there)
- Other people in my world don’t get kicked — only me
Expected Behavior:
Be able to select, move, and edit objects without being thrown out of the world.
Actual Result:
Instant crash every time I interact with anything.
Device:
- Meta Quest 3
Impact:
I cannot build at all — any attempt to edit the world immediately removes me from Build Mode.
