New Quest 3 locked on software update, impossible to fix.
Hi guys, I bought my first Quest 3 today. When I turned it on, it started a software update but it gets stuck there — the device keeps turning on and off without completing the update, and I can’t get past that screen. I haven’t even set up my Meta Horizon account yet, and since I didn’t purchase my Quest 3 through the official Meta store, when I try to enter my device’s serial number on the website it gives me an error. I tried doing the sideload update (the only fix I found on the internet) by holding the volume down and power buttons on the Quest 3. But when I select my device in the browser, I get a message saying: “your device is not supported, please try reconnecting your devices.” Weird cause both my PC and Chrome are detecting it as Quest 3. I also tried disabling adblock, deleting caché and cookies, incognito mode, other browsers, other PCs, other cables, connecting it on different times, etc. There is not a single thing I haven't tried. (Every single one of these attempts were done while having 50% battery. There’s nothing else I can do, literally — I’ve already tried factory reset several times as well. Do I need to return my device? I'm submitting this post so support can help me. I'm quite desperate, I don't see my issue anywhere on google and I spoke to support via Whatsapp and everything they told me to try, I already had.
Issue: Quest 3 controllers always fall back to “Oculus Touch Legacy” in SteamVR games
Hi everyone, I recently switched to a new Meta Quest 3 from meta warranty services, i continue to use my same Touch Pro controllers and I’ve been stuck with a very frustrating issue: In the SteamVR menu / dashboard, the controllers show up correctly as Quest 3 Touch Plus (blue laser, correct 3D model). But the moment I launch any SteamVR game, SteamVR switches them to “Oculus Touch Legacy Bindings”. In-game, the controllers look wrong (smaller, with tracking rings, purple lasers) and are miscalibrated (like held backwards in Paradiddle, drumsticks pointing the wrong way). With my previous Quest 3 on the same PC, everything worked perfectly out of the box (no tweaking, games launched fine with the right bindings). --- What I’ve already tried (nothing worked so far): Full factory reset of Quest 3, complete clean reinstall of SteamVR and Oculus PC app, deleted every config folder and registry keys (AppData\Local\openvr, Steam\config, Roaming\SteamVR, Oculus folders, etc.). Tested both SteamVR Stable and SteamVR Beta. Stable → no oculus_touch_plus profiles exist → always falls back to legacy. Beta → includes Touch Plus profiles, but some games won’t even launch properly. Manually added custom bindings_oculus_touch_plus.json and oculus_touch_plus_profile.json into SteamVR\drivers\oculus\resources\input\ and Steam\config\input\. → SteamVR still insists on using Legacy inside games. Disabled SteamVR Home, disabled Steam Input (globally and per-game). Tried forcing Oculus runtime (-vrmode oculus / -oculus) in launch options. → Works only for some Unity/Unreal titles, not for all. Confirmed in SteamVR Developer > Input Debugger → games always load oculus_touch (legacy), never oculus_touch_plus. --- Summary SteamVR Stable right now does not ship oculus_touch_plus bindings. My old Quest 3 worked perfectly (must have been on a version where they were included). My new Quest 3 is stuck in Legacy mode for all games → broken calibration and wrong models. Only way it works correctly is launching games via Meta Link library or Virtual Desktop (bypassing SteamVR). --- What I need help with Is there a way to force SteamVR Stable to always use oculus_touch_plus globally for Quest 3? Or is this simply a bug/missing feature in the current Stable build of SteamVR? Has anyone else solved this without being stuck on Beta (where some games won’t launch)? Thanks a lot — this issue has been driving me crazy because my previous Quest 3 worked flawlessly, but the new one refuses to use the right controller profile. ---Quest controllers Idle off is way to sensitive
As the title says, in the past few updates or so setting the controllers down will instantly set the controller off.. This can also happen when laying down or even standing still in a pose with the controllers still in-hand or sitting with your hands on your lap. We need a way to either disable this 'feature', or allow us to set the idle timer with a max of never.
Quest 3 switching from roomscale to stationary boundary
I've been playing thrill of the fight 2, and other boxing/fighting games with no problems for the past 2 years. After a recent software update I'm having severe issues with the boundary. When i'm in a game or a fight, the game i'm playing disappears and shows my surroundings EVEN THOUGH i'm right in the middle of my boundary, or the screen just goes black for a second and switches to stationary boundary. this is really frustrating me because i have literally never had this issue before. it seems to happen the most when i grab my headset and adjust it on my head. sometimes when i do that i get a notification that says "no boundary found". please fix this.
Is there a way I can fix this "Request Not Completed" issue on the meta store?
I currently bought a meta quest 3s a few days ago, and then I tried to buy some games just to realized it wasn't processing the purchase but rather would show an notification that says "Request Not Completed We noticed something unusual and, for your security, this request couldn't be completed. Please try again later, or visit our Help Center." I've contacted their customer service but still hasn't got anything that solved my issue with this, is there anyone here who got a solution for this? I would appreciate it
Oculus Rift S Headset stays black after years of it working
My headset randomly stopped working one day and I've tried everything to get it to work. I've reinstalled the software, I've updated my graphics drivers, I've plugged it into different ports, and still nothing. I tried asking for help on the support page but for some reason, my serial number for my product isn't recognized. Can someone help me please?Meta Quest Link / Air Link Stuck on 3 Dots (No Video): Advanced Fixes Needed
We are still dealing with one of the most persistent and frustrating bugs in the Quest Link ecosystem. I am making this post because the endless "three-dot loading screen" issue is still happening to users for days, weeks, or even months, and there has been no effective, consistent fix provided by Meta. The problem: My Meta Quest headset successfully connects to the PC app, which reports "Connected," but the headset itself gets stuck on the black screen with the three pulsing white dots indefinitely. I can often hear the PC audio, but I receive absolutely no video feed. This bug makes PC VR unusable. I have tried almost every known solution to fix this, including all standard and many advanced troubleshooting steps.

Age restrictions. I am over the age of 18. For some reason meta will not let me join "Meta World Hardy Spades" it's showing an error message of "You can't visit this world It's rated ages 18+, so you won't be able to visit until you turn 18." I contacted meta and tried to reapply my birth date. It's still not working. Also the meta help is showing an error. The only way I could contact them is through web browser
