Meta Quest Pro Controllers Offset Tracking
I have had the meta quest pro controllers since 2023 and they just started acting up a while back, recently they have been having a about 11 inch offset Infront of my face and when doing a 360 they try their best to stay in the place. But the thing is that I can still move it forwards and back it's just very inconvenient and very hard to do anything. If anyone knows a solution to fix this, I would be delighted if you could leave a reply. Thank you!

[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.

Quest 3 controller pairs but not working at all
right quest 3 controller paired and tracking, but no inputs work. Controller moves around when viewed through headset. but if you pull the trigger, grip , thumbstick, a, b, or meta button. they don't work, or move like there even getting a signal when viewed through headset. Left hand is fine. Charged every thing up, left batteries out over night, paired controllers through app. tried factory reset but cant continue since it wants me to press the meta button on the right controller and it wont do it

Quest 3 lost all tracking
Brand new quest 3 just arrived, configured an everything was doing pretty well. Was just logging into a game when all tracking just stopped working, a window saying "Tracking lost" showed up, but I couldn't click anything since the controllers stopped working too, hand tracking also wasnt working. I tried cleaning up the cameras with a very soft towel, tried rebooting, resetting to factory settings, everything I could. The screen is either completely black, black with a dot or on the starting screen asking to turn on the controllers, but the screen just moves randomly and isn't following the headset movements at all. There is a white dot blinking on the left controller and they keep vibrating every few seconds.

Controller tracking and refresh rate
I'm looking for an in-depth understanding of Quest 2 controller tracking and differences between 72hz and 90hz headset refresh rate. Does the controller actually track any differently between these two settings? My understanding is the controller tracks at 60 frames per second, so does that mean there is no difference in the quality of controller tracking between the 72 and 90hz settings? I'm using a low pass filter on the controller speed and I can definitely feel that when my app is set to 90hz, I get higher speed readings on the controller vs 72hz. Any insight here would be appreciated, thanks.

Meta Quest 3 Grey screen after factory reset
HI Team, I have tracking lost issue and did factory reset from Headset as per the instructions given by Meta. But I can see only gray screen. The start-up guide is not coming up after multiple ons and offs, and i left the headset charging for 24 hours as well. It is really frustrating to have this kind of issues. I am not running a VR center and my business has been stopped due to this issue. Please let me know a quick remedy

Oculus Link Sync Issue with Quest 3: Video lag behind head movement
I've found a bug with the Oculus Link software using the official link cable and Quest 3. Every time I try to play some relatively demanding PCVR titles or enter some heavy worlds in VRChat, after the computer stutters for a few seconds for loading, the headset tracking and the streamed video feed go completely out of sync. The frame rate in the demanding scene after loading is high and smooth, but the video feed in the headset is a bit delayed relative to my head movement, resulting in an extremely nauseous experience. Even after I quit the demanding game and returned to Oculus Dash, the problem remains, and the video feed is still delayed. This bug can be reproduced consistently. Reconnecting the Oculus link briefly eliminates the problem, but the delay happens again when I try to load scenes. This makes the Oculus link unusable. Any solutions? PC spec: Dell G15 Laptop (i7-12700H, RTX3060, 16g RAM, Plugged in wall). Quest 3 connected via Thunderbolt port

Meta Quest 3 Stuck In Boot Loop and In Locked State
First of all my headsets lock state says locked, I was just booting up my meta quest 3 to play some gorilla tag(like always) and I was able to boot up the hedseat but the hedseat wasnt tracking properly, i was able to boot up gorilla tag before my hedseat fully shut down, when i tried to boot it up again it started a boot loop. Tried to shut it down using the USB something screen(idk the full name) and forcefully shut it down, boot it up again after 5 minutes, still a bootloop, reset the headset a few more times, boot loop stopped but i still couldnt boot it up, left it there, it booted up, couldnt do anything cause my headset wasnt tracking anything and cameras were just not working, since i couldnt do anything i shut it down, boot loop started again and i currently have the headset shut down, what should i do?

Frequent micro stuttering in Meta Quest 3
Hello, I've owned a Meta Quest 3 for a few days now. Since yesterday, I've noticed a "micro stuterring" problem that appears when I use the headset in standalone mode. This is the same problem described by pan.c.kaplanis and Renegade_R in this topic (see page 2 and following) : https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/VR-Experiences/Some-Quest-3-standalone-games-are-lagging-stuttering/td-p/1100483/highlight/true/page/2 Nevertheless, I'm making a new topic because the previous one was initially about Beat Saber (but it's been diverted to Home), and because the problem is marked "Solved" whereas it's not solved at all in my case. Problem description: In the Home application and standalone games, at certain moments, for example when I crouch or strafe from right to left, "micro stutters" appear. This is very visible on the Home application interface, but you can see it by looking at the background too. It's as if for a very short moment (1 frame) the position of the headset shifts, giving the impression that the image is hopping, before returning to its initial position. It happens very quickly, and the shift is not huge. Nevertheless, the repetition of the phenomenon makes it noticeable. The problem appears when I crouch or strafe to the sides. It doesn't appear every time I do these movements, but it happens regularly. I have the impression that micro stutters appear more often when I'm pointing at something with the controller, and/or when the boundary walls are displayed. The problem is extremely noticeable on nearby objects, but it also affects distant scenery. Unfortunately, when recording video, the problem simply doesn't appear, or appears too subtly. In any case, I'm not able to perceive it on video. I'm convinced that this problem wasn't present 3 days ago when I unpacked my helmet. I think it appeared with upgrade v59 as I found other reports of stuterring appearing at that time. I'm now on upgrade v60 but the problem persists. It's annoying because using the headset is generally smooth, but these micro stutters are so recurrent that they're ruining my life in Quest 3. Incidentally, I have the impression that the problem is also present in PCVR with the Link cable. I have the impression of seeing these micro stutters when I crouch in Half Life Alyx. But here I'm less sure, because I know that in PCVR, problems can come from many places. I really hope that an origin for this problem can be found, as all the posts I see on the net suggest that the problem appeared with update v59 and hasn't been fixed since. I can hardly use the headset at the moment, as this problem is really getting on my nerves.
