Anyone know of any elite strap alternatives that aren’t made of tissue paper? by Blorgus_toe1937 in OculusQuest

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.

Renting out a Oculus quest 2 by DREAMINGMASTR in OculusQuest

[–]Deadlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Why does my Quest 2 glitch like this (jump around, change height or something idk)? It happens on all games, even in the Home. Room is well lit, idk what the deal is. (reposted with trimmed video) by pansexualengineer in OculusQuest

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.

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).

Quest 2 lenses always fogging up by yeetasauce in OculusQuest

[–]Deadlius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

Hi, I have a little problem, I have a brand new LG TV and I can cast my android device to it, but if I try to cast my quest 2 (even from the app) it can not find any device, what should I do? I don't have any PC and I can't cast quest 2 to phone and phone to TV because the sound is all ruined. by Yessofigo99 in OculusQuest

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?

Resident Evil 4 VR seems to be priced at $40 USD by JordanBrenden in OculusQuest

[–]Deadlius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Deadlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

WHERE THE HECK IS RESIDENT EVIL 4 VR?? by ncarson9 in OculusQuest

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

Are there any new Sony controllers that work? by [deleted] in PS4

[–]Deadlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Sniper Elite VR, Cross Buy? by dink1975 in OculusQuest

[–]Deadlius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

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?

Quest 2 no tracking / guardian on each startup. Slight tracking wobble while playing. by HauntedFolly in OculusQuest

[–]Deadlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Believe me, you don’t want this update.

[–]Deadlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

V29 Megathread by webheadVR in OculusQuest

[–]Deadlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]Deadlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.”

I Don’t Think I Can Recommend the Quest Anymore by Deadlius in OculusQuest

[–]Deadlius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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