Late to this V.81 party, but hoping I didn't join it at all
Like the title says, I am rather late to this V.81 update (I only got it today, and immediately learned that it's already 4 months old). Honestly, I have nothing good to say about the update. I guess all that I'm going to say about has already been addressed here, but just still need to vent this out. The worst thing about the whole update is the decreased battery life. I've never had my Quest 2 (which I've only had for 2y 1m) battery drain this fast. Only reading through the patch notes to V.81 drained battery by 16%, just because there's this new "immersive home" running on the background all the time. After 15 minutes in FitXR, my battery was already down to 63%. After 15 minutes!! Before this update, I was able to do a whole 40 minute workout on FitXR and have still over 50% of battery left. The battery drain is truly insane after this update. Also never has the home screen and menus been as laggy as they were after the update. Things are loading so slowly, some menu buttons requires to be pressed twice before they are registered.. It's just horrible. The second worst thing is the already mentioned immersive home. I don't understand why Meta doesn't give customers the ability to choose with these "Horizon Worlds/Central" things. Why force them on people who don't want anything to do with them?? Is their Metaverse plans doing so bad that their only option is to force people into these things? I personally don't want anything to do with them, and I know I am not the only one with this opinion. So not only is this absolutely useless garbage being forced onto people, they also do it in a way that makes their VR sets work worse. Hindsight is always 20/20 as they say, and if this is the way these things truly are going, boy am I glad that I cancelled making my Quest 3 purchase and removed it from shopping cart while doing other shopping. At this rate, I'll rather get Pico 4. I don't use standalone features that much (mainly use for wireless PCVR), and thankfully I haven't spent that much money in meta store for apps. I truly hope that they get all the performance and battery drain fixed on V.83, when I finally will be able to get that update (probably need to see again after 4 months).Solved204Views0likes19Comments
