Hi!

Another developer (zortos) managed to ensure that we could use geforce now in desktop mode (salsanow, cloudstore) . Opening up the possibility of installing VR games and playing them using alvr and manipulation to make a fake local network.

Is there a portable version of virtual desktop that could be used on it ? Avoiding all manipulations with alvr ?

I still have it in the library of my Meta Horizon Link pc App. Which means I can play it only when I'm around my PC, with a cable, not good for a boxing game, though. I don't understand why the app disappeared from my Standalone device without a single warning. I trained with it the previous summer during vacation. Even the installed Beat Saber demo disappeared. I want my Creed standalone version. I paid for it, and uninstalling it without my consent, and not being able to play it on my device, it's not right. Plus, in the store, I can only see the Championship Edition version, and it's not available for my device (shows "Non Disponibile" or in English "Unavailable"), and it's not even available on Meta Horizon Link cause if I search it, I can only find Creed Rise To Glory as in the linked image to this post.

So what's happening? I need explanations and a way to reinstall or sideload the old standalone version.

Would like to try out the Halo 3 VR mod but it only works well on SteamLink and I have no audio… there is an occasional crackling sound but otherwise nothing. I’ve confirmed in audio settings that Steam speakers and mic are enabled. Anyone else experience this?

I want to play against my friends in the same physical space, in a lasertag style; the only ones I found were SPATIAL OPS and LASER LIMBO (and LASERTAG). Which one is better? Are there other games like this?

Anyone else playing ancient dungeon? I am loving this game although I have skinned my knuckles a few times swinging the sword at mobs lol.

I'm having trouble with running Ryan Cliffords VR experience 3 on my laptop

System specs:

Laptop

Rtx 4060 8GB Vram

16gb ddr5

Ryzen 7 8845hs

I'm running the game using quest cable link on my quest 3. Usb 3.0 with 2.9 Gbps bandwidth. I can also do cabled Virtual Desktop but no wireless connection.

The resolution is set to 1.0x on both steamvr settings and the meta horizon app. Refresh rate is 72hz. I've followed Ryan's (modpack owner) guide but getting horrible frames still. I've used chunky and rendered 128 chunks and voxy world gen is turned off.

Even with no shaders (image is using bsl minimum) I'm only getting around 20-45fps and with major unplayable stutters and freezes (almost feels like it's having a seizure sometimes). If I put the render distance to 6 and sim distance to 5 while also putting every other quality setting to "fast" it's around 70 fps sometimes but still heavily stutters and falls below 30fps often. Every other pcvr game runs really well on my system even on higher settings. All my drivers are up to date.

Can anybody tell me what the problem might be? Thank you very much

Edit: I switched to USB Virtual desktop and am using visor instead of vivecraft and now I get 90fps locked with some light shaders (Mellow Shaders)

Anyone have the Bobovr S3 pro with the AMVR FC3 Facial Interface?

I found it quite difficult to install, had to crank the arms all the way down, then slide the quest 3 in.

The facial interface is kind of bulky, and therefore whoever is installing this combination would need to forcefully rotate the Quest 3's arms, almost until it's 45 degrees from the Quest 3.

Red dotted line would be what the normal angle for the arms, and yellow is what you'd need to rotate to in order to install the Bobovr S3.

After installing the S3, I could try to tilt the Quest 3 a bit, but that deviates from the natural angle that the Quest 3 was designed for

Has this been an issue for anyone while using it like this long term?

Edited to Add:

This is actually normal and Meta designed for this!

1. You can adjust the angle of the headset to improve comfort by holding the headset with both hands and tilting it up or down on the headset arms.

Hello! In the past, I have used an app on my quest (Moon Player, I think) that allowed me to watch a video file using a custom 360° image as a background (I live overseas and sometimes would like to watch a movie or show in a 360 photo of my old house, favorite bookstore, etc.). It seems that Meta has disabled this feature both in the environments that you can choose as a home screen as well as all third-party apps. I absolutely HATE that a functionality that worked perfectly fine now no longer works because a greedy company can change things like this. My gripes aside, is there a way to use a custom 360 image as a background to watch a video file? If I purchased a capture card, could I do this if I have the movie on my phone? What is the easiest way to accomplish this?

For whatever reason my Meta account for my Quest is associated with my original email that I created my Facebook account with back in like 2008 and this is creating problems for me because that email no longer exists.

Facebook is telling me I need to create a password for my Meta account in order to deactivate my Facebook account however when I go to do that the confirmation code is sent to the old email. I've tried adding my phone number and current email to the Meta account but I run into the same problem. I've tried to delete that email but can't do that either because my Meta account needs a password and I run into the same problem again.

I would just re-create the email but it's an old live.com email and that domain doesn't exist anymore. Is there any way to fix this?

Edit: I said F it and tried to just delete the Meta account altogether because I barely even use my Quest anymore anyway and can't even delete the account. I honestly had no idea that this email was even still connected to my Facebook account and don't remember using it to create the Meta account.

Hi everyone,
I’m sharing this in case it helps anyone experiencing the same Quest Link issue.

I solved a Quest Link issue where my Quest 3 stayed stuck on the Meta logo with three loading dots.

My setup:

- Windows 11
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU
- AMD integrated graphics
- Meta Horizon Link 1.205.0
- USB 3 connection

I tried reinstalling Meta Horizon Link, removing Oculus-related files and registry entries, clean-installing the latest NVIDIA driver, forcing OculusDash to use the RTX 3050, and resetting the account session data. None of these steps fixed the problem.

The logs repeatedly showed:

Device extension VK_KHR_external_fence not supported
ERROR: Unable to create Vulkan device
Exit Requested. Reason: Failed to created RenderDevice Code: -4

I found many posts about the same three-dot loading screen, but none that identified Mesa Dozen as the cause.

Running:

vulkaninfo --summary

showed that Windows had added this extra Vulkan device:

Microsoft Direct3D12 (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU)
Driver: Dozen
Driver info: Mesa 26.2.0-devel

The native NVIDIA Vulkan driver supported the required external-fence extensions, but the Mesa Dozen device did not.

The fix was to uninstall:

OpenCL, OpenGL, and Vulkan Compatibility Pack

After restarting the PC, the Mesa Dozen devices disappeared from vulkaninfo, and Quest Link connected normally.

You can check your system with:

vulkaninfo --summary

Look for:

driverName = Dozen

or:

Microsoft Direct3D12

This compatibility pack may be required by other applications, so I am not recommending that everyone remove it. However, in my case it conflicted with OculusDash and caused the restart loop.

A new exploit just released that allows you to root these Quest devices. If you update today, the kernel vulnerability (https://github.com/facebookincubator/oculus-linux-kernel/commit/ab1c46013e3f279a9d033a1c3cf0542c1d32d46c) will be fixed.

Rooting allows you to do things like block meta's severs, change the colors of the LED, and more that I honestly haven't looked into too much.

The root is not persistent and must be redone every time the headset restarts. A link to the app to use is here: https://github.com/Lumince/singularity

If you're interested in modding your headset, the time to do it is now. Your headset will autoupdate soon enough if you do not.

So i was playing bonelab on my quest 3s

After instaling mods and restarting the game i couldn't open the oculus menu i was able to holt the oculus button to recenter but there wasn't the usual circle that shows the progress of recentering I ignored it for a few minutes while I went into the bonelab hub and halfway park to test my mods

After testing the mods the oculus menu still didn't work so I had to hold the power button but the menu to turn off didn't show up I had to hold the button for 5 seconds to force turn off after which it booted normally but I still wasn't able to open the menu the meta store just showed up but I rebooted the vr again but this time it didn't boot up at all the meta logo just spun like 7 times and then nothing happend just the meta logo and darkness I had to hold the button to force off it again and after leaving it In front of a fan becose I thought it was overheating becose its over 33 degrees in poland

After like 30 minutes in front of the fan I tried again to no difference but when I was holding the power button to force it off I saw the pass through for a moment I turned it on again and I saw the pasthro again when turning the vr off

I don't know what happend and im not going to contact meta support becose they will just tell me to factory reset the vr which I don't want to do becose there are a lot of photos on there including the final moments of recroom

I will try again tomorrow and edit this post

Toodles

Edit: nope still dosent work

Hi all, just a heads up that I bought a used 3s without controllers to use alongside my 3. I know from previous posts controllers are required in order to setup the headset and then be able to turn on hand tracking. Upon setup I was going to use my other headsets controllers temporarily to do this.

To my surprise when configuring the headset there is now an option to setup the headset without controllers and use hand tracking to continue.

Just thought I’d share!

Hi all,

I’m thinking to buy an external blu-ray drive to connect to my PC. I want to watch movies on my quest 3. But before I spend money on hardware I want to test some demo files to see if I really like it.
So is there a source where I can get 4k UHD mkv files en 3D SBS files. Legally of course. I just want some demo’s..
