Quest 3 Controller Tracking Issues in fast paced games

Hi,

I’ve been experiencing loss of tracking with my Quest 3 controllers which is problem that didn’t occur so often when I had the Quest 2. The controllers have not been damaged in anyway as they’re brand new.

In attempt to resolve this, I’ve tried every solution I could find.

  • Resetting boundaries and space 
  • unpairing and re-pairing the controllers
  • restarting the headset
  • new batteries
  • revaluation of the environment around me (lighting conditions, etc…)
  • check for any software updates
  • set controller tracking frequency to 60Hz
  • disabling space setup 
  • disabling hand tracking
  • factory reset of the headset

All these have been checked and attempted and still see no results that fix the issue. 

It’s frustrating because I’ve had no problem with this when I had the Quest 2 and performed better on Beat Saber. Whereas, because of this issue, my performance has significantly worsened. I read a forum from two years ago that this issue was resolved, however, this is something that is still occurring.

I am having the same issue with my quest 3, I don't get how the quest 2 tracking runs more consistently, I did the same things you did too. Hopefully someone comes out and says why these issues are occurring and releases a fix. If you found a way to fix this plz let me know. I want to play beat saber again without issues.

But is Q2 really better that Q3:
