Question

Quest3 stopped working after update.


After the automatic update that happened the day before yesterday, the Quest3 after turning on shows the meta logo and then goes black.
I tried to update through the meta online update tool and it didn't work. I returned the Quest3 to factory defaults, it didn't work either.
I tried to install the update again through the online tool and the problem persists.

    Best way forward? Fix the update.. maybe try testing updates before release.

    After being updated to the latest Quest3 version 76.0.0.452.315 , I am unable to complete the Link connection process. I am stuck on a black screen with just the Meta logo. My setup prior to this version was working consistently  and properly. A  version needs to be released asap to fix this problem.

    I contacted meta support and we tried everything. From reinstalling the update to returning quest3 to factory default... without success. Solution: I have it until the next update comes out. They should develop a tool to go back to the previous version.

    Thanks for trying with meta support.Very frustrating for sure. I have to do a "repair" each time I want to use the Quest 3.Hopefully an update comes asap to fix this.

    Meta - when are you going to fix this? Many of us have been having this issue for several weeks and it's a known issue, so stop treating us like we don't know how to plug in a USB cable.  I'm a developer and have a deadline for an upcoming conference, and now I can't consistently or reliably use Link on any machines.  I even went so far to, out of desperation, buy a new Quest 3 to replace my Quest 2 and, guess what?  After of one day of it working, it too is now not working via Link - same issues all of the users above are reporting, plus this:

    Meta - it's time for you to address this publicly and, better yet, FIX THE PROBLEM.  Are you not a mega-tech firm with billions of $ in profits?  Why can't you just address this honestly and give us a fix?  I am looking at having to CANCEL the next two months of showcasing this new work!!

    WTF have you guys actually done? I have to restart meta link service every time I turn my computer on to connect VR. 

     

    FUTHERMORE the bitrate has decreased, now I get a very glitchy image on assetto corsa with a player count above 15. 

    This never used to happen, it used to work perfectly fine. How could you f&%* this up so bad?
