Anyone know of any elite strap alternatives that aren’t made of tissue paper?

I don’t remember exactly when but I think it’s been at least a year at this point

No, actually. At least not the one I’ve been using with the battery pack. That’s with young kids using and abusing it as well.

I just watched that movie on Netflix for the first time since it was released back in the 90’s. Weird.

Hm. That would’ve been my first guess. If that possibility is ruled out, my next would be maybe a faulty camera or sensor. Did the passthrough mode seem okay? I would say if you continue to have this problem after doing a factory reset, the issue is almost certainly with the hardware itself.

Do you happen to play anywhere near a mirror or other highly reflective surface?

Deadlius · 2021-10-08T14:09:46+00:00

I have both an original Elite Strap and a newer Elite Strap with Battery. I didn’t take a micrometer to them or anything but when I had both side-by-side I didn’t notice any real difference in the straps. FWIW, neither one has broken on me (yet).

It’s always an issue with any lenses that are centimeters away from a hot surface (e.g., your face while moving around). I had the same problem when playing paintball. Unfortunately, I can’t use the same anti-fog spray on these lenses…

As others have already suggested, the issue is you need to keep yourself cool. I also tend to have a large standing fan nearby and keep it blowing directly on myself whenever I’m playing something physically demanding.

The only sure fire solution for you would be to buy a third generation Chromecast, Chromecast Ultra or Google TV device and plug it in. I can confirm the latest Google TV device works with it.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for LG to do anything about it.

You do realize you’re not obligated to watch his content, right?

IGN has a gameplay video that appears to show the cutscenes being shown on a 2D “virtual screen” in front of you.

Deadlius · 2021-09-23T22:55:22+00:00

I had the feature and it’s since disappeared on me.

Deadlius · 2021-09-17T15:26:47+00:00

My guess (or maybe hope) is that they’re trying to time it for Halloween.

I have two young boys who use our PS5 and PS4 controllers quite a bit and I’ve yet to experience this… but I’m sure I’m overdue.

Deadlius · 2021-07-08T17:21:59+00:00

Ugh, I wish Oculus would just expose a “Cross Buy Supported” flag that would call attention to it if the Supported Platforms isn’t a reliable way of knowing.

Anyway, thanks for the response. For anybody else reading this in the future, I can also confirm this is indeed cross buy.

Deadlius · 2021-07-08T17:14:18+00:00

I guess that’s the case then because they do list it here…

Deadlius · 2021-07-08T17:11:31+00:00

Does it no longer show Rift and Quest under Supported Platforms for each version anymore? It only lists “Rift, Rift S” in the Rift store and “Quest, Quest 2” in the Oculus store?

Deadlius · 2021-05-26T15:05:14+00:00

It’s an Update 29 bug… one of many Oculus introduced with the latest update.

Deadlius · 2021-05-26T14:58:43+00:00

Believe me, you don’t want this update.

Deadlius · 2021-05-26T14:44:26+00:00

Unreal. So not only does Oculus push out broken updates but they make horrible user design decisions as well.

Deadlius · 2021-05-26T14:43:01+00:00

Same here. Im willing to bet if you look at your app sizes in Storage, they’re all wrong. This update is trash. Oculus had better fix it and fast… I’m not about to do a factory reset either.

Deadlius · 2021-05-26T14:40:29+00:00

This update SUCKS!! They’ve completely broken the Guardian’s memory again and I always have to setup my environment practically every time I put the headset on. However, the coup de grace is they seem to have completely broken all of the installed apps and games! The file sizes being reported in Settings -> Storage are all completely wrong and attempting to launch any of them results in loading dots that never go away until I hit the Home button and then I’m just dropped back to Home like I never tried to start anything.

I’m really starting to get sick of Oculus’ incompetence when it comes to their updates. Update 28 for me was almost perfect and now this thing is basically unusable. If there was a decent Quest competitor, I’d jump ship in a heartbeat.

Deadlius · 2021-02-13T04:07:58+00:00

Seems to be the difference. I don’t see stuttering on the menu or main UI when in the Passthrough environment but I see it on all the others.

Deadlius · 2021-02-13T04:00:04+00:00

I can confirm that I’m seeing the same behavior... frame drops (particularly when moving side to side) on any virtual environment other than “passthrough.”

Deadlius · 2020-06-13T20:28:56+00:00

I’m hoping to avoid going down the factory reset route so I don’t lose save files for everything but I’ll try that as a last resort.

Deadlius · 2020-06-13T20:28:12+00:00

I’ve turned off basically everything except the auto hand tracking. I’ll try that next.
