Quest 3 suddenly won't save/use roomscale boundaries

As of a couple of hours ago booting into any app automatically sets a stationary boundary. I can define a new boundary just fine but absolutely nothing will use it now. Clearing the boundary history did nothing, hard resetting the headset did nothing. I'm on the most recent version. At a loss here. I don't want to play in stationary because I feel unsafe reaching out because it won't warn me of walls/objects or anything. I had been using roomscale boundaries since launch.

  • Somehow every app had on its own set its boundary to stationary even though roomscale was available. Did not know that was even an option. Hit it in the quick menu after launching an app.

    I had the same problem and fixed it.  OP means once you launch your game, press the oculus button on the right controller to get back out. In the quick settings menus, toggle the boundary from stationary to room scale.  Then resume your game.  For me, that fixed all occurrences of the problem.

  • Just upgraded OS to 79, and exactly the same thing has happened.  Am currently trying a factory reset with all of the problems inherent in that (try holding down Power and Volume down for nearly a minute before anything happens!) to see if that will fix things.  Really pitiful that Meta's so-called upgrades keep causing the same problems.

      I'm Constantly having problems with the boundary too! What the @$×% is the problem Meta? How about actually make sure things work before issuing an update. I play Golf+ and rely on my glanceable boundary and it has just vanished... I try to toggle the boundary on in the main menu and it makes me redo it, which is fine, but after that it toggles on its own back to off. I had a Pro and this happened often and now is happening with my 3. Unacceptable. And I am tired of submitting bug reports to your AI, as I am well versed at troubleshooting and it never has a suggestion I haven't tried... how about just make it work like it's  supposed to! Seems like I submit a bug report, and eventually things magically start to work again, not from the bug report suggestions and only for the problem to return again. Never fails... figure it out Meta!
