Request Developer Flair

Hi! I recently got a Quest 3 and would love to give my wife her first VR experience. She’s a bit worried about motion sickness, so I want something that feels like a true VR showcase but won’t overwhelm her. Oh, and free options would be perfect! I’ve explored a few YouTube VR180 videos, but I’m curious—what do you recommend for showing off this incredible technology?

Hi all.. I'm trying to find good VR "experiences" - not games. Interactive films like AmazeVR used to do is cool. VR movies. Not just 360, but VR. Know what I mean?

As the title suggests, i just got a Quest 3 as a (early) Christmas present. I'm loving it and was wanting to try PCVR as I heard there were good games on steam that aren't on Quest natively (namely: Bloodtrail, Blade & Sorcery non nomad, Subnautica). I watched a tutorial, and got it all working but when I'm in a game, it tends to freeze and when i move my head, my character doesnt turn but i instead see either a black box or a pause menu type scree. I don't know if its because im on Airlink, but im getting the 16ft cord soon so maybe that will fix it. My pc is the Acer Nitro V 4050 laptop.

My question is: Is it my pc specs that's the issue, wifi, or just the fact im on airlink? I really hope it's not my pc specs because I do not have the money to buy a new pc.

Thanks in advance to all help.

Edit: I should probably mention, I got the Laptop around a year ago with no thought of PCVR in mind; therefore, I wasn't looking at how VR games would run, just flatscreen games. And regular games really don't run that bad despite what people say.

TLDR: What's causing PCVR issues?

My almost 13 year old is asking about getting an oculus.

I’m googling, and I’m trying to understand but I’m 48 and grew up with Atari and fax machines.

Is there a dumbed down explanation for people like me?

I know again someone asking. I have looked in so many threads and checked out so many cables. I cant find the right Anker cord on Amazon and longer and every other brand appears to be the word jumble temu via amazon garbage. Does anyone have a 100% great cable recommendation that is of at least the technical quality of the oculus brand?

So my oculus controllers have been glitching and are disconnecting or not working in game but they are fine when I pull up the menu please help cause I don’t know how to fix and i haven’t been able to play 🙏🙏🙏

I have and hdmi capture card which I've used with Quest 3 / HDMI link 1/2 months ago. I was using YUY2 / 1920x1080 / 60fps no problem. Decided today to plug it again and now I am only seeing MJPG options and YUY2 / 1920x1080 only runs at 5fps? What has happened? Some update? Is anyone having the same trouble? Thanks.

My Meta account that I use for my Quest 2 is currently scheduled for deletion and any time I attempt to cancel it, it tells me "Somethings gone wrong", I've been told online that it could be for account violations but there should be no reason for that as I haven't used the account in quite a while until yesterday when I had no problem playing my games, and I have also put in no requests for an account deletion, then all of the sudden, today I turn it on and it tells me I'm unable to log in. I have purchased a good amount of games on there and would not like them to be deleted. I'm also unaware if I can just make a new account and transfer the games? Any advice is helpful. Thank you

I just got a Quest 3 a couple days ago and have been researching a lot to set up PCVR properly. I have a 4070ti super 16gb vram, 7800X3D, 32gbs of ram. I just set up a WiFi 6 (not 6e) access point in my room. Which does occasionally spike to like 50-60 ms.

I have space warp disabled, steamvr res set to 100.

I just assumed I’d be able to get a steady 90fps with my set up. Anyone got any tips or pointers?

I wanted to view a specific picture today and I had to set up my old Oculus Go again. Everything worked fine until the step where I had to watch a video in Meta Horizon explaining the safety precautions. The problem is that the video is not displayed at all, and you can't skip this step. So device setup stays frozen, so to speak. Has anyone here had similar problems, and if so, what was the solution?

My controller straps are cooked and idk what to do

My analog stick has been stuck for about like 4 months and its getting a tad bit annoying and is there even a way to fix it? I really need to know. (Extras: Im using the Meta quest 2)

So after 4 years I finally fixed my Rift S. Immediate problem occured with the controllers not vibrating (in beat saber for example). Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't know if the controllers worked 4 years ago or they stopped working mid-way. The batteries are fresh store bought.
(just a bit of an update, I reached out to Meta Support and they want to charge me 150€ for refurbished controllers after telling me to disconnect the controllers for 3 minutes...)

Thank you for the help.

I'm having an issue with my Meta Quest 3 and could use some advice. I have an external 1TB M.2 drive in an enclosure, formatted as exFAT.
Apps like 4XVR and Skybox VR can access and display files without any issues, so I am sure it should work. However, any file explorer app, such as MiXplorer, detects the drive but doesn't show any files.
I've granted full permissions to the file explorer apps, and the drive is brand new. I have tried as many explorers as I can find, only a handful will detect that it exists, but none will show any files from it.
I was thinking maybe its a power thing since it's an M.2, but as 4XVR can play films from it with no issue at all, I am stumped.

Interestingly, I tested MiXplorer on my Nvidia Shield, and it detected the drive and displayed files correctly.

If anyone has experienced something similar or has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance!

So im planning to buy second hand quest 3 with 5 meter pc cord for free, will it work well to play steam games and etc? I did read that 'virtual desktop' is best, but people said that u need dedicated router for this. I have a setup like this: Main wifi router => router in my room next to pc => my pc (connected with ethernet cuz no wifi module) can i connect quest 3 to that router inside my room if it's only connected to main router and my pc with ethernet?

What do you think of the TGA decision for VR GOTY?

I have a disabled friend, he can't utilise full range of motion with his arms, however I would like to get him a VR headset as he is an avid gamer. My idea was just a headset that functions like a monitor, I don't care if it has motion tracking or not. Just something that can be more immersive and fun, like a PSVR but for xbox I guess. Every single (literally every. Single.) VR headset I have found is either playstation specific, requires at least one motion controller to even function, or is just a mount for a phone. Surely I can find a screen that just plugs in so you can play via HDMI?

Hello! As of recently, for the past few days my oculus quest 2 and rift s occasionally disconnect from wifi, for my quest itll do it often, and itll take like 5 minutes to disconnect/reconnect but for my rift itll take a few seconds and then im back and it isnt often, but for my rift itll just say vrchat connection has timed out. I am not sure what the issue could be since I have good wifi (fiber) and havent had this issue before, I've been playing vrc on and off and used both headsets without any issues until recently, as for my PC it is a custom built with decent specs, it isn't awful so it shouldnt have issues and it is newly built (around 5 months old), so I'm not sure if anyone else has been having this issue or knows how to solve it but please help, I'm just hoping it isnt anything to do with my pc since it's new.

Quest 2.

Here's what happens:

1. I connect Quest 2 to PC

2. I launch game

3. I play

4. I'm done playing, I unplug Quest 2 from PC

5. Later, I want to play again

6. I connect Quest 2 to PC

7. No sound

8. I restart Quest 2 & PC

9. I reconnect Quest 2 to PC

10. It works

There's always that necessary restart after the 1st usage and it's genuinely frustrating.

Hey all, just got a Quest 3 and been loving it so far. I'm trying to play my Steam VR games as the Meta store is honestly pretty lacking, but I'm having a lot of difficulties with consistent play.

I've tried using the Steam Link app and it's not horrible but the quality of the stream isn't great. It was suggested to me to use the Virtual Desktop app and the quality is far superior but now, I'm having issues with my controllers spazzing out. It's almost like the program or something is failing to keep up with them as they're constantly vibrating and aiming all over the place. It's hard to hold my fake guns as my hands are flailing all over the place and fail to register that I'm still gripping the middle triggers. I've messed around with the settings under the "Stream" tab inside of my headset for VD, but even resetting it to default does not seem to solve the problem. I did not have this problem while using Steam Link however. Anyone have any advice?

In terms of computer and internet specs, I have a RTX 4080, i7-12700, 32GB DDR4 RAM, everything installed on an SSD. I am hardwired into my router that is capable of wifi6. The Quest is on the 5ghz network. Thank you!
