[UNRESOLVED as of May 30, 2024] - Quest 3 Controller Tracking Issues
update May 30, 2024: There have been no updates/improvements to controller tracking since Meta Support marked this as solved! Community consensus seems to be that this issue stems from hardware/software limitations with the controllers, specifically the method of tracking (as a software developer working specifically in the machine learning and computer vision space, I agree that this technology is not particularly robust enough to handle some types of movement). If you play games that require fast hand movements and/or dynamic hand positioning, I would recommend not buying a Quest 3, unfortunately. I've heard some anecdotes regarding improved tracking with the Quest Pro controllers, but the improvements are marginal at best - not worth the additional ~$300 for minimal performance gains IMO. My personal recommendation is to stick to Quest 2. Not to detract from the various improvements that the Quest 3 has brought (e.g., color passthrough w/higher resolution, better hand tracking, higher overall hardware specs compared to Quest 2, etc.), but Quest 2 controller tracking is significantly better than the Quest 3's. Ideally, my hope is that Meta will push an update that allows for pairing Quest 2 controllers with the Quest 3, but as of right now, that's just a pipe dream as Meta has given no indication of making these headsets/controllers backwards compatible. While I'm (naively) hopeful that things will change, realistically speaking, I have 0 expectations and a lot of disappointment. tl;dr: I've had a Quest 2 for almost 3 years. I received my Quest 3 today and was very excited to use it. Controller tracking performance is much worse than the Quest 2, at least in the context of games where you swing your arms as fast as you can. This was not a problem for the Quest 2 (unless controllers were physically damaged, e.g., hitting a wall, dropping them, etc.). Don't buy if you play games like Gorilla Tag, Beat Saber, Synth Riders, or any of the other games mentioned throughout this thread!!! Question: Are there ways to modify the Quest 3's controller tracking such that fast hand movements won't be affected by the prediction-like behavior where the in-game hand moves farther than you swing? When I perform a baseball throwing movement with my hand/arm, the tracking will not keep up and it ends up losing my hand's position for a fraction of a second, causing my in-game hand to be positioned farther away than my hand actually is (this is not an issue with Quest 2 controller tracking). Details/Context: I primarily use VR for exercise, and I mostly play Gorilla Tag. Gorilla Tag is a game where you play as the upper half of a gorilla, using your arms as your means of locomotion. Basically, you use your arms as if they were your legs, and you can run, climb trees, wall-run, etc. It's an infection-based tagging game where you join a lobby of up to 9 other people, and the game will randomly select a player to be the first tagger. The tagger(s) will continue tagging until everyone in the lobby has been tagged (infection-style), and then a random player will be selected as first tagger; this pattern just continuously repeats. While the learning curve is pretty steep to play at a high level, there is a growing community of players who are very competitive (approx. 10-20k players based on the communities I participate in - Competitive Gorilla Tag on Discord and Gorilla Tag Competitive on Discord). As a prominent member of this community, people have been seeking my feedback on whether or not the Quest 3 is worth it. While I feel that a majority of the new features are amazing, I have had issues with the controller tracking. Gorilla Tag is an active game where you're constantly swinging your arms as fast as you can to travel around the map(s) to avoid being tagged. The primary player base for the game is Quest 2 users. Aside from physical damage, most players have not had any problems with controller tracking on the Quest 2, aside from when the controller goes out of the tracking range of the headset (as expected). However, the Quest 3 controllers lose tracking during medium-fast to fast hand movement (medium-fast: like playing catch with a friend; fast: throwing a baseball as hard as you can). The consequence of this in the context of Gorilla Tag is that your in-game arm extends to the game's max arm length frequently, causing your hand to collide with the wall/tree/ground and launch you away from the surface. This is a big issue for games/activities involving fast-paced hand movement as it's not nearly as reliable as the Quest 2 controller tracking performance.

Boundary should have certain heights depending on where furniture is
when making a boundary that you should stay in, you should be able to change the height of it so it is not in the way of your face and you know where certain furniture is depending on the height and not being a wall so it is easier to not hit stuff

Roblox crashing (read more)
My Roblox keeps crashing every 5-15 minutes even though I have good internet and a meta quest 3 and I know it’s capable because I used to play Roblox Vr on my meta quest 2 before I got my quest 3. If anyone knows what’s wrong please help because I love playing Roblox Vr and just messing around with people.

Can no longer invite or join friends on calls
A couple of days ago after my headset updated, I no longer had the option to invite friends to calls, nor can I join calls or even see when my friends are online. When I go on to ‘People’ the option to invite/chat isn’t there and instead it takes me to the Shop! I tried asking a friend using the app chat on my iOS to send me an invite, which they did but when I clicked on it and tried to launch on to the VR, nothing came through on the headset to allow me to do it. Any ideas would be very much welcomed, thanks

Hey Guys, For some reason my meta quest is stuck in a boot loop and tried everything even factory resetting and trying to side load update but nothing works. I’ve also contacted Meta and they said I could buy a new one, but I don’t want to waste another $100 for another headset so what should I do?

iPhone Meta App Shows Old Headset After Factory Reset Cant RePair Device Bricked
iPhone Meta app shows old headset after factory reset and I cannot re-pair it. I am stuck in a pairing loop and need help. I factory reset my Oculus or Meta Quest headset. On the Meta website and on PC, my account correctly shows no devices. However, in the Meta Quest iPhone app, my old headset still appears and cannot be removed. Because of this, the iPhone app believes the headset already exists and will not allow pairing. I cannot remove the device, and I cannot re-pair the freshly factory-reset headset, leaving the headset unusable. I have factory reset the headset multiple times, removed the device from the Meta website, deleted and reinstalled the Meta Quest app on my iPhone, restarted the iPhone, and logged out and back into my Meta account. After reinstalling, the ghost headset still shows up only in the iPhone app even though it does not exist on my account online. This appears to be an iOS app cache or sync issue where the app is holding onto a device that no longer exists in Meta’s backend. Has anyone found a way to fully clear a ghost headset from the iOS Meta Quest app or force the app to recognize the headset as a new device after a factory reset?

Meta Quest 2 suddenly not connecting to WiFi
For some reason, my Meta Quest 2 has decided to not connect to my home WiFi network completely today. It was working just fine yesterday, as I was on in the evening. But now, even though it shows the WiFi network, the strength on it is excellent, it's working on all my other devices and the three computers within my household, it just gives me the "Failed to connect to WiFi" on my Quest 2 every single time. I've tried all the "general solutions" that have been suggested... restart your headset, update your Oculus app, update your headset, reset your router, forget the network and reconnect, etc, etc... Everything short of a factory reset, which I'm trying to AVOID, as it's now a MESS to even set up an account anymore. I don't want to have to go thru all this if I don't have to. To say this is frustrating me is an understatement. I've not experienced issues like this over the years I've owned my headset, and now, I can't do anything but use it as a paperweight at the moment. If there is anyone that has any type of information on why this is occuring, please enlighten me. I'm at my wits end here.

Cannot make purchases
I can’t make any purchases from the meta store, not when I’m on the headset or desktop or mobile. It keeps telling me there is a security concern and I should raise an appeal but doesn’t tell me how to do that. Please help

Quest 3 has no audio when connected to PC
I recently get the Quest 3, and for some reason I can't get the audio to come through my headset when it is connected to my PC using a link cable or AirLink. It shows as a device in the sounds settings and it is enabled in the audio Control Panel Playback section. I never had this problem on my Quest 2. I have updated the drivers, tried disabling the Nvidia High Definition Audio driver. Any help greatly appreciated! Note: This green audio bar next to the Oculus audio device stays at half-full whether the computer is playing or not. Not sure if that helps
