  • It's not so much the headset as it is the OS. Pretty much anything on the platform published by Meta over the last 2 years is notorious for being buggy and glitchy. I just made a post here last night complaining about how horrendous the lag is in Horizon Worlds, and how it constantly keeps crashing. 

    I've doing a little research on Reddit and on this forum and from what I've learned, Zuck didn't want to hire on an independent team of devs that specialize in game development, so he just pulled developers from the Facebook team. According to the grapevine, NONE of the developers for Horizon Worlds or Quest 2/3 play video games, develop video games, or have any inkling of interest in VR. 

    Even before I learned this, my experiences in Horizon Worlds left me thinking, "This platform seems like it was developed by a bunch of people who had no idea what they were doing." Seems I was right. 

    Incidentally -- make sure you're not playing with the charger plugged in. If the processor gets too hot, it'll slow down. Likewise, don't leave it plugged into the charger after it's fully charged (green light) -- the lithium ion battery apparently degrades faster if left plugged in on 100% charge.

    Hello Whispy0_0, thank you for your post. 

     

    We understand that you are having some issues with Rec Room not running to the standard that you expect. This could be due to a few different reasons, such as too many background processes running, slowing down the GPU, or if the headset is plugged in while you are playing, that can also cause the processor to heat up and slow down the device. Could you please follow the steps below to contact us privately, so we can ask you some more in depth questions about your issue, to get your Quest 2 running as you expect it to.
