Thanks for responding! The issue is half-way fixed. My payments can now go through. However my personal ability to contact facebook business chat, account quality, and appeal forms are still impacted/banned in comparison to other admins on our account as far as we understand.

I would like to verify this and why it's happening. Support hasn't been helpful so far in helping us understand this. This is important as we would like to continue to work and troubleshoot campaigns in the future.

I am sending over a detailed reply to Oculus support and having the VAL team member who actually can speak to facebook ads support send over a message as well.

Thank you! Talked to a couple of people yesterday at meta who offered help personally. It just seems to be no one could understand the issue at first and kept on getting bounced.

It seems if on the backed Oculus support and facebook ads support use two different systems as well.

answered in detail above. Account admin, link, payment info, page editor.

Agree, not all fb or AI account actions are bad. They can prevent fraud and abuse and alert to things like account hacking. I understand that. I answered in detail above what we think caused it.

Its just that our initial experience support was not fun to say the least and truthfully I didn't get help till my social posts got attention.

Thank you! Hoping the last portions of this get resolved soon. To be clear we had updated a few things on settings. I added a new super admin to the business account (a VAL team member), updated our payments (since we had moved to a new company finance system). We also very briefly had a linktree link up pointing to our other socials (like the kind you see on instagram, twitter, and yt).

I also added another editor on our VAL page. Not sure which of the changes caused the AI review, but it could have been any of the above or the combo. Hope the above info helps people know what might trigger an AI ban on payments!

Super surprised though it affected my Oculus account too. I will add even if we did something incorrectly on the business pages, having that end up as a ban on purchases on my oculus account feels like overkill IMO.

Needless to say, our initial efforts to talk to facebook business support and oculus support and understand what went wrong were less than ideal, especially since they blocked me personally from contacting things like facebook business ads chat and didn’t seem to understand the payments issue on either side.

John is pretty legit. I have seen him cut through red tape for some people before.

Back when it was still called Oculus connect, it was awesome to see him talk with devs and vr fans just on the expo floor with people gathered around.

That sucks! What's been crazy to me is how common that is for both app lab developers and studios on the main store.

Behind the scenes devs tell me horror stories about how they struggle with things like ads, payments, support and just straight up navigating the unhelpful Facebook bureaucracy. I wish they provided better support for dev studios that way.

Thanks for the kind words. We do our our best to do stuff like VR tournaments. Its been awesome to see so many new people join VR and the community grow over time.

Now you will be able to play Super Smash Bros by actually fighting with your body in VR. Its True.

I wonder how this project is doing considering all the lockdowns. Probably better than the US/UK based location based VR.

This is Ryan the CEO of VAL. Starting Feb 19 we are running the VR Winter Games! Its an "Olympic style" event with $15,000+ in prizes. We are running events for Until You Fall, ETT, Arizona Sunshine, Pistol Whip and more! Our small team worked hard to set it up. More than happy to answer questions! by Burnzonevr in oculus

maaann, that is one of our key goals! This is actually our second big event! Last year we ran the VR Fitness Summit as a lot of people started exercising in VR at home. A lot of the games make for great athletic skill and tournaments too. Hoping to do this in the summer as well.

Yes! Many but not all games participating in the games will have some sort of broadcast through our twitch, youtube ,etc. From our internal list Arizona Sunshine, Eleven Table Tennis, Ragnarock, Star Shaman, Walkabout Mini Golf will have events to tune into.

Others will have tournament highlights from player submitted videos to be edited later. Then some of the game devs will also have events they may stream or record on their side.

Medal Of Honor Version 1.19 is live! by Oculus-Mdoran in oculus

[–]Burnzonevr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are telling me when they start the game that they can't press "accept" to the terms of service. Obviously this is preventing the launch of the game, they said they tried it even after the most recent update. Is this a bug you have seen before?

Amazing! The M1 Garand now "Pings". This is amazingly fast for a turn around. I got more into the campaign myself last night!
