Get a halo strap on Amazon. There's many brands but they all seem to be mostly the same.

oculus want me to send in the broken one for some odd reason before they send me a new one
thats a huge inconvenience to me since I know very little about snail mail and only use email
Are you referring to the stock strap or the elite strap?

I just want to know if anyone else lies down on the floor when shits loading. I only get to play late at night lately. I'm tired af.
I'll tell you what it's pretty immersive loading into a game lying down. It's like you woke up in the matrix.

I had the same thing with my Q2 - factory reset achieved nothing, tried everything google could throw at me. Ultimately got it replaced, however you'll probably find its a bit of a process as you'll do a little back and forth with their customer services team which can take a while given there's often a couple of days before you get a response, and sometimes being asked to try the same thing by different people. Ultimately you'll get to the point of being asked to provide a video of the boot up, which should lead to getting the ofer of sending it back for some diagnostics. Got a replacement in the end, however it mus t have been 6-8 weeks before I received it. Luckily I hd a Q1 knocking about so that was okay, but it's a bit of pain nevertheless...

I lucked out and a factory reset saved the day. It was pretty easy as it had most of my info on the phone app so once connected I was up and running as soon as all my stuff re-downloaded.
Yup, that's gonna be quite a lengthy inconvenience.

Hey, anyone purchase apps through SideQuest prior to app lab? I had to do the factory reset, and now a game that I paid for, Operation Serpens, is only allowing me to re-install through app lab. I already paid for this months ago, but with no tie between that payment and app lab, it looks like I have to repurchase the game?
Anyone dealt with this?

Why? Just because you can't shoot yourself in the head? Get the fuck out of there. The gameplay is still incredible. Easily in my top 5 list of VR games.
If you are only playing quest 2 native games, you need not look any farther than the quest store in headset. Worthwhile game rarely go on sale though.
As far as PC VR, you can follow the subreddit r/vrgamedeals or check isthereanydeal.com before purchasing anything.

I started using my quest 2 last night and I have some questions. First. I was using the virtual desktop to play some vr compatible games on steam. It kept crashing and I’m not sure why. My usb3 cable seems to be compatible. Second it seems like the vr experience for these games are poor. I only get a floating virtual screen in neon arcade and not the full 360 view. It also seems like I need to use the virtual keyboard to interact instead of the joystick triggers. I’m not sure if there’s something g else I should be doing.
Have you installed SteamVR and ran through the setup for it?

I did thanks now I can at least run games natively through steam vr but new retro arcade at least seems to have busted touch controls to where I can teleport around but I have no idea how to interact with any arcades.
Itad is a good option, although I prefer gg.deals. Way better sorting, easier to read and they often show deals that itad doesn't.
I like to keep an eye on this page: https://gg.deals/deals/?feature=1&onlyBestDeal=1
I would say only worthwhile games go on sales. All the daily deals are pretty decent. Also you get the 30% off from time to time, that comes in handy.
Make sure it's not too dark in your room.

Just buy it, it's not only the best VR game by a big, big margin. It's also one of the best game ever, period.

I'm a big fan Playstation VR and I want to get a PC headset. I guess Quest 2 would be the best option.
Is is compatible with old Rift games with room-scale support? I would want to play Pipejob.
Is the Link cable really necessary? I have many long USB-C 3.0 cables. I have read that the Link cable has much higher speeds, but the bitrate works even with a 2.0 cable.

You can play old Rift games wirelessly using Air Link, Oculus Link Cable isn't necessary. Other USB cables will work, but some will have slower transfer speeds or the lack the power to play-and-charge.

Even on quest 2 I have issues where I miss because the controllers don’t register. It irritates me to no end. I assumed it was a quest 1 issue initially…. Nope.
Oh yeah, I'm talking Quest 2 too. Idk if I should give them for warranty or is it normal...

"Get Lost In Nature With Luke" on Rift or Steam is an impressive looking demo of nature photogrammetry.

the video water repeats like every 5 seconds though. feels like being in an animated gif

Quest 2 is apparently being recalled because some people are allergic to the facial foam. They're also offering silicone covers as a make good for anyone who wants one.
I replaced the foam a long time ago, not because I'm allergic but because it's a gross sweat sponge.
Although the recall is the headline, I think just as interesting is the apparent sales numbers. 4 million. Holy shit.

Family is up for a reunion. Noticing that casting to my tv disconnected a lot. Like we get 30 seconds and it goes out. Any help?
Happens to me too. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I think it depends on the connection stability.

Quick question:
I have a buddy visiting next week and I want to show him something cool on the Quest 2.
For noobies to VR, what would you all recommend? Beat Saber is not his kind of deal. I have Vader Immortal, Superhot, and Eleven Table Tennis.
I think Superhot is probably the best, but let me know if there is another cool experience out there I should be showing him and just not thinking of.
Thanks,

Echo arena? It's free and the tutorial is fantastic. Really high quality game and you literally feel like you're floating in a spaceship. It's probably the best movement mechanics I've found in VR.

Gun Club is an awesome experience. Especially with headphones on and the volume jacked up.

Vader Immortal is usually a pretty good one.
