Question

v81 - Made my Quest 3 laggy and buggy

I have v81 pushed onto my Quest 3 a few days back - (not PTR) and since then have been having lots of issues:

  1. really slow to load games - can't even get into Citadel on Horizon Worlds - says I lost connection
  2. Multiple apps have issues loading in game graphics
  3. Can't see to join friends in games - always gives errors
  4. Out of memory issues
  5. Wifi dropping out unexpectantly

I've done multiple restarts, let it sit powered on for ages, turned off background processing in experimental and tried to clear cache (how does one even do that).

Very frustrating - want a fix or go back to previous.  Would rather not factory reset.

    Note - for the dev team. I did log a ticket inside Meta Quest headset - but I could only really leave a really short one because I'm in Australia and the voice option just doesn't work - never has - I think it's region based.  Using the virtual keyboard is very time consuming - so I didn't leave as much text as I did above.

    It's almost like the update has put the brakes on my wifi - but I'm getting great bandwidth on a dedicated wifi 6 router. Another idea is that where ever all the image content / data is stored for all the games, it's just really really slow. Once I'm in game I can sorta run ok
