Active Meta AI in Portugal. Come on!
Hi Meta. Why Portugal isn't in your country availability list? Come on, it's not hard to allow Meta AI for AI Glasses in Portugal, at least in english. We bought expensive glasses and we are having only a half of the experience. VPN aren't working anymore, why are you doing this? Same for Meta Horizon. Portugal isn't Spain, so please consider us as well... There are users too. I paid full price for both, Rayban Meta AI glasses, Quest 2, and Quest 3. Influenced 2 people to buy Rayban Meta AI, and 7 people to buy Quest. And now I feel like a illegal thief by using a VPN just to have same experience as others... Come on, just do it. Thank you.New Game Alert Runner Runner
Get ready to lace up, lock in, and never look back. Runner Runner throws you into a world where speed is survival and every second counts. The ground beneath your feet isnât just a path â itâs a challenge. Neon-lit cities blur past, ancient ruins crumble behind you, and futuristic highways stretch endlessly into the horizon. Thereâs no pause button for greatness. Thereâs only forward. In Runner Runner, youâre not just running â youâre chasing records, dodging danger, and mastering momentum. Every jump feels electric. Every slide is razor-close. Every near miss fuels the rush. The controls are smooth, the pace is relentless, and the action never lets up. Whether youâre vaulting over collapsing platforms, weaving through unpredictable obstacles, or outrunning mysterious forces hot on your trail, the thrill never fades. But speed alone wonât save you. Quick reflexes, sharp focus, and perfect timing separate casual sprinters from true legends. As you progress, the world evolves â faster routes, tighter gaps, trickier traps. Power-ups ignite your run with explosive boosts, magnetic pickups, and gravity-defying moves that turn impossible stretches into highlight-reel moments. And the competition? Itâs everywhere. Climb global leaderboards, challenge friends, and prove that your run is the run. Every attempt is a new story. Every fall is a lesson. Every restart is another shot at glory. Simple to learn. Impossible to put down. This is the game that keeps your heart racing and your fingers moving. This is the test of reflex and rhythm. This is pure momentum. This is Runner Runner. Are you fast enough?
Quest 2 Stuck on passthrough on wake-up
I just used my Quest 2 and for some reason it's stuck in passthrough when I turn it on. The controllers won't connect and are at full battery (as is the headset), and the only thing I could do was adjust the volume, where it displayed the volume slider graphic, but turned the entire screen black, which then returned to passthrough when the slider went away. So far I've shut it down and restarted it a number of times, all with the same results. I had used my Quest 2 a couple of days ago and it was working fine, I hadn't done anything too taxing on it graphics-wise, so I'm not sure this how this came about. Does anyone have a fix for this?African American History Museum

Can't use Meta Horizon app with quest 1
I bought a meta quest one, and I'm furious to find that I can't even use it! The setup is just completely broken in the app and I have found many forum posts from about 3 years ago of people complaining about the same thing, although now the workarounds they suggested don't even work any more. Would like to relight the fire on this one, please can this be fixed?
Meta, Please Fix Meta Store
Do you know what this super long image is? This is the list when I sort by "Newest" in "Brawse All Games" on Meta Horizon App. This is sooooooooooooooooooooooo bad it brings tears to my eyes. I have to scroll and load over 20 times to reach the actual newest game (red circle one)!!! đ€Ș This isn't because there are a ton of crappy gorilla games, but because it shows even unreleased games. Meta devs, ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Have you never considered usability? Someone might say, why not just look at "New Releases" section? Unfortunately, there are many new games that aren't displayed in "New Releases" section. Not only crappy gorilla games. Even properly made games don't show up!!! đż What a terrible store. Meta, display new games in New Release section!!! Even if game devs put in a lot of effort to create their game, if it's not listed in New Release section, it's less likely to be seen by people who don't know about the game. This means lower sales. If there is no profit, developers will leave. And lower sales means lower revenues for Meta. Who exactly is this store made for? Coming soon & Pre-order games have their own section. "Newest" in "Brawse All Games" should only show games that have been released. If there are far more games being released than there are now, are you going to make us scroll 100 times to check new games? đ€š And when Meta fix broken search function? The store's bad usability and glitches have been pointed out countless times since old days. What on earth are Meta devs doing? It seems like they're reducing game sales and Meta's profits by broken store. Before selling hardware at a huge loss, why not try building a great store?
DJ Bot and Adding Games in August 2025
I am finding it hard to get support or answers from anyone on these subjects. I'm new to VR but I know a lot about coding/modeling. I really just need help to be able to DJ live in my world. And I'd love to add games, but everyone I message doesn't get back to me. As of August 2025, there is NO Horizons app on Meta Quest link or anywhere. The only way I have found to enter Horizon as a player is on the Browser version. I know how to use Voicemeeter to route audio as a virtual microphone. Audio has very bad quality when using Horizons on desktop browsers. I've tried other apps. Maybe its a browser issue. For example: Spotify > Voicemeeter > Horizons on Chrome/Edge = Bad Quality audio Is there a better way to do this? Other worlds are able to have good quality audio. They seem to have a Horizon.exe app from before it was discontinued. The only one currently available is the Horizon Worlds Editor, no Horizon app. And maybe point me to a good source for games that will message back!
