Quest 3 - Intermittent network error when joining multiplayer games

Hello,

I'm experiencing an intermittent network issue with my Quest 3.

The headset worked perfectly when I first bought it. About 10 days ago, I started having problems joining multiplayer games.

The issue affects both Walkabout Mini Golf and Demeo. The games launch normally, but when I try to join a multiplayer session, I often get the message:

"Network error. Please check your connection and try again."

What's strange is that my Quest remains connected to Wi-Fi, and everything else works normally:

  • Internet browser works.
  • Netflix works.
  • Meta Store works.
  • Meta Horizon messages and friends list load normally.

Thinking it was my router, I replaced my Orange Livebox 5 with a new Livebox 6 (Wi-Fi 6), but the problem remained exactly the same.

I also performed a factory reset. The problem disappeared for a while, but came back a few days later.

The issue is intermittent: sometimes I can join multiplayer games without any problem, and other times I can't join at all.

My Quest 3 is running Meta Horizon OS V2.5 (build 5227074.3480.520).

Has anyone experienced the same issue since the recent updates? Is Meta aware of this problem, or is there any recommended fix?

Thank you for your help.
