When im playing games they crash and a pop up appears saying "not enough memory to run (Game)". So far this has happened in into the radius and blade and sorcery nomad, but i haven't played much of anything else recently. I have about 30 gb of storage left, so i don't know how to fix it or if its even a bug.
Hey there, @Gibberish125. We can definitely understand how concerning memory issues can be, especially when they're stopping you mid-game and taking out of your VR experience. We'd be glad to help out however we can! Memory is separate from your storage, so while it's good that you have some free space still, it shouldn't be the cause of this. Which headset is it that you're using? Depending on your device, the recommended troubleshooting could be a bit different. Once we hear back from you we'll gladly do everything we can to get this resolved. We'll be looking forward to hearing back from you!
I’m on standalone Quest 2. It sometimes happens spontaneously but mostly only when something is being loaded, like a 3 star sized dungeon in blade and sorcery or loading into a new map in into the radius.
Thanks for getting back to us, @Gibberish125. See if a factory reset would help out. Before performing a factory reset, make sure that your cloud backup settings are enabled. After this, follow the steps below to perform a factory reset on your Quest 2.
From the Headset:
Power off the headset.
Press and hold volume down & Power.
This will boot into the USB Update Mode menu.
Press volume button to move selection, press power button to make the selection.
Navigate to Factory Reset and press the Power button.
The device should now begin the Factory Reset process.
Hey there, @Gibberish125! We just wanted to check in since we haven't heard back from you yet. If you'd still like help with this just let us know, we'd be glad to help out!
The same thing that is happening to Gibberish125 is happening to me, my sister, my friends and others whom I have been meeting in games. We keep getting punted from the games like Demeo, pop1, verizon worlds etc with same message about not having enough memory to run games yet I have plenty of memory! Plus we keep getting frozen, black screens etc. It has to be a bug on your end if all of us have same issue?
