This corporation is getting ridiculous. Bring back Home Environments. Stop.
I want to start by saying the micro instant the Valve Steam Frame is released, I will be immediately throwing my Oculus Quest 2, and 3 in the garbage as hard as I can. I cannot stand this nonsense anymore. I do not want to even sell it for the hundred bucks I can make off of it, because I know Facebook will make way more money collecting the intimate, personal data through the inside-out tracking cameras of the next poor sucker that uses one of these things. Facebook has done nothing but shoot itself in the foot over and over and over, month after month with absolute zero public favor as a result. Besides the VR Youtubers glazing and reaching as hard as possible to find a teeny tiny positive thing with each quest DownDating. (The opposite of updating) This is probably something I'm going to be banned for, but I do not care. My data being deleted from Facebook will be an absolute win. I have loved this corporation so much for its VR hardware from Palmer Luckey, and software for the first 4 years of its existence. Then it went to garbage. Removing home environments and forcing users to constantly use their headset at full tilt (100% GPU/CPU usage) at all times. This is the exact definition of bloatware. The new homes look horrible, I don't want a bunch of fake NPC's that cosplay losers, that jump around my forced meta horizons slop environment. Why would you undo all that progress making those environments, they were literally the only cool thing left. This is clearly malicious, what are you even gaining from doing this? While I'm here, i'm going to mention the state of Oculus Link. There is no oculus link anymore. it is completely non functional, its been 3 years of the exact same loop. One week it will work flawlessly, then after a 'meta link' update, it goes right back to having zero functionality. It will finally work for no reason, then like magic clockwork, an 'update' comes out, and it no longer connects, no longer has audio, no longer has depth perception. This is clearly a deliberate method to push PCVR players away from high fidelity pc titles, into their standalone horizons slop. I have put so much god forsaken money into this company through 99% ad revenue and personal data collection, and about 1% transactions and purchases. I've put about a thousand+ dollars into this to be abandoned and forgotten. Facebook no longer allows support for their product. Yes. I am not fabricating anything. If you managed to finally dive through the hoops to get to the Serial Number selection screen, it will not accept your number. It doesn't matter what it is, they will pretend they cannot find your box, or your headset, or your controllers and selecting "I don't have a device or serial number" will prompt you to a screen saying "we cannot help users without devices at this time". Genius strategy!! Do absolutely nothing to improve your company, actually, do the opposite. Completely ruin your company over the course of 2 years, completely disable any support for quests, boom profit. TLDR. I will be immediately switching to the Valve Steam Frame the micro-second it drops and throwing away all my Oculus Quests in the garbage due to a complete failure, lack of trying, and constant malicious attempts to screw the Quest users over at every possible turn. Stop updating, or do it right. Expect the automatic bot comment from Facebook to be the first comment, using the perfect words to get you to shut up. Actions speak louder than an automated bots words, act like normal people for 20 minutes. What are your thoughts, be so for real. Assume anybody shooting this down with zero thought is a metabot. This is inexcusable. Give me genuine reasons to appreciate what this has become. With technical explanations. This is genuinely horrible and you've lost me and thousands of others.
Bricked oculus rift s
Ok i have a rift s, that worked fine and dandy perfectly for years. then suddenly after not using it for some time it stopped working. by stopped working i mean: it tracks my movement in games (when using oculusKiller, and sometimes when using the normal Meta Quest Link). only shows a black screen, or loads infinitely(3 dots). what ive done to try and fix it: restart pc reconnect cables different ports powered usb hub removing all other connected devices updating drivers complete pc wipe and reset. complete reinstall downgraded drivers and software (v24, v25, v28 all tested same result) tried oculusKiller (works better but still just shows a black screen, while still tracking movement, and playing audio) using a quest 2 with cable works (but disconnects often randomly) I dont know what is wrong and dont know how to fix whatever this is. I paid for this hardware and suddenly being unable to use it is unacceptable ALSO: i am unable to get support because the support thing says: "We couldn't find a device associated with the verification info provided. Please try again." (with a valid rift s serial number) i can also not find a different way to contact meta about this
Idea for a Unified VR Platform to Grow the Ecosystem
Hi! I wanted to share an idea that I truly believe could help VR grow for everyone: companies, developers, and players. Right now every VR company is building its own separate system. Each headset has its own store, its own controllers, its own rules, and its own standards. This makes VR more expensive, harder for studios to support, and confusing for people who want to get into it. But what if the biggest companies worked together on one shared VR standard? Something like a “PC of VR,” where all headsets follow the same base system. Meta, Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Valve and others could still make their own hardware, but they would all run on the same fundamental VR platform. This would make headsets cheaper to produce, easier for developers to support, and way more attractive for big AAA games. We could finally see full versions of GTA in VR, Skyrim built for VR from the ground up, Call of Duty in VR, and long story-driven games that are worth buying a headset for. Players also wouldn't need to worry about choosing the “wrong” VR device. If the VR industry grows together instead of separately, VR can reach the mainstream future that many of us imagine. The Ready Player One type of future can only happen if there is one unified foundation instead of seven incompatible ones. I hope this idea reaches the right people, because I believe a shared VR platform would benefit the entire industry and bring VR to millions more people.
Casting to phone does not show the full view
When I cast my Meta Quest 3 to my phone with screen ratio 21:9, I see pretty much nothing of what the person is looking at and I constantly tell them to look down. Then I noticed that even when I record the screen or when I take a screenshot, what I see doesn't align with what's recorded. In the video below I trace the edges of my field of view with my finger. As you can see, there is a large portion of the video that I don't see through my headset and a large portion that I see, but it's not being recorded. Combine that with cropping the video to fit a wide-screen phone and what the person looks at is often beneath what's visible.
Help me
So I woke up one day and got on my vr but it was stuck saying‘Finding position in room’ so I factory reset it because that’s what I do when my headset glitches. When I did it asked me to log into my account but the email used for my account was my old email that I don’t have access to anymore so I was wondering how could I log back into my account
Quest 2 Meta cams not working properly
Hey, my Meta cams (so the cams used to see the environment etc.) doesnt really work. So if I start my Quest 2 and it asks for the Guardian thing to set up it does work and I can see my real surroundings through the cams but it only works for like 3-5 seconds until the cams crash? Basically they freeze and it stops working for some reason. But also when I start the Quest 2 I already have a black screen for the setup and basically have to do the guardian thing "blind". I already did a Factory reset but that didnt fix the issue.
No Quest cash received.
Hi. I signed up through a referral link for my new account, and activated my new Quest 3. And so far I haven't received the $30 promotional Quest the link itself told me I would get. I would like to know if it takes some time for it to appear, or if it is an error, as for what I've seen it seems to be one. Hope you can help me. Thanks.
