Question

Will crashes with "Not enough Memory" ever be fixed?

So tired of apps crashing with error of not enough memory. Are we ever going to get a fix. Happens with multiple games at randome times. Population One and Contractors Exfilzone are most often probably because thats what I play most often. I don't care about fancy home environements, background apps, and such...just want to play my games without crashing.

    That's very interesting. First, try reinstalling the game. If the issue persists, ensure there is at least 20 gigabytes of storage space left on your device. If that doesn't work, the last option would be to factory reset your headset.

    How would reinstalling the game or having more than 20gigs of storage help with memory useage? That's about as effective as saying "try wearing a dress, see if that helps".

    Reinstalling the game may fix corrupted file issues. Leaving sufficient free storage space is required so the headset can cache necessary game data, including save games.

    It's multiple games... has nothing to do with storage (its available memory not storage). And have a group that plays Pop One almost nightly. Seems we take turns crashing out of the game every night.

    On what quest are you playing on, Quest 2 or 3?

    I found uninstalling WhatsApp and Messenger helped a lot. They were using quite a bit of memory running in the background.

    Thanks, I have already uninstalled those, but will make sure they are still uninstalled since I ready somewhere they get reinstalled by Meta.
