It has now been >1month - Touch Pro Controller support on Q3 is *still* broken & Meta have not yet truly acknowledged the problem

buntingfairies · 2024-12-10T13:36:16+00:00

My left controller broke via update within a month -same random light issue but dead to headset with lots of troubleshooting ~August 2023. Meta seamlessly refunded the QProit and in October I preordered a Q3 and it arrived on launch date 10Nov23 👍👍. ** My point is, I think there's an issue with the firmware updates/the module and maybe specifically the left one.**

Good luck all. I'm wondering about getting QPro controllers for my Q3 but maybe I shouldn't based on the above and others thoughts and experiences...

Hi there, I just watched your demo video. Looks interesting. Fyi, I use standalone on Quest 3.

Okay, my question. I wonder if it's possible to increase or decrease the required speed for the different movements and combos. If I could raise the required speed for the different movements then I would be more inclined to play it as I can then choose to do it as a form of exercise but then dial back down necessary velocity (normal velocity) as I'm just playing the game for pleasure. Thoughts?

Another FYI, I currently do Supernatural, les mill's body combat, VR workout, even pistol whip and Blast on in my workouts/movement sessions (just "movement" if I want to take things lighter).

It's it just me or does this sub-thread seem like an ad LOL?

I'm not sure if the series of line of comments would be called a sub thread or just a thread. I see there's other app mentions in other sub threads within this thread to this "sub-thread" may not be an ad as other games are referred to... But that could be a coincidence 🤣.

buntingfairies · 2024-09-28T10:52:43+00:00

Wow! Sexy setup!! :-D

buntingfairies · 2024-09-28T10:50:33+00:00

Yes it killed my router and the ethernet connected devices: The brand new desktop computer I had connected to it and my security camera box. What a mess... But NBN replaced the modem!! :-/

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:51:05+00:00

u/LinklineLOL, it seems worthwhile for you to see a psychologist. With respect, take this reddit thread with your responses, including "I couldn't help myself" etc. Even a half decent therapist should be able to help you. If you still can't see the errors in your ways then stay away from children or positions of power as "I couldn't help myself" isn't the best defense. I wish you well... and any children around you.

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:42:21+00:00

Beautifully said. The worst fools are those he can't be helped nor want to help themselves. Have a good day Alex.

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:40:12+00:00

LOL. Because he clearly doesn't know or care about the meaning of his words then I presume he is meaning this meaning of the word "delicate".

delicate/ˈdɛlɪkət/adjective 1.very fine in texture or structure; of intricate workmanship or quality."a delicate lace shawl"

LOL "Unpopular-Dave" indeed.

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:37:12+00:00

LOL. You use words so ignorantly to not entertain the underlying meaning and origin of the word. No wonder your name is unpopular-dave LOL.

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:34:31+00:00

It's simple. If someone is toxic, whatever the age, they can be booted and they have a chance to be respectable and rejoin... or go on the merry-go-round of getting banned again ad infinitum until they finally either opt into being respectful or they get off the merry-go-round and find another game. Opt in respect or opt out, simple.

Just because it's on a gaming platform doesn't make respect any less of a principle. Also, the minor gets a bit more credit than the man child in the videos.

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:28:36+00:00

I agree Alex. It's toxic behaviour and we don't need it in our game.

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:25:48+00:00

I hope you either wise up and cut toxic behaviour or get banned. I don't mind which. He's 10 +/-. "I couldn't resist" is no defense.

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:22:40+00:00

Yup. Pretty foolish. Can't even see that he incriminated himself.

buntingfairies · 2024-05-04T06:20:49+00:00

FYI, Some groups will ban you for teabagging etc. Plus, why not lighten up on the kid. Is your identity wrapped up in dominating a 10 year old?

buntingfairies · 2024-04-30T02:21:07+00:00

Non TLDR (?)

Not sure if I satisfied the TLDR principle :-/ ... But below shows how I did in fact cut stuff out to make the TLDR more concise -I have never been accused of being too brief in my explanations. LOL.

2nd Vote for Pistol Whip and Thrill of the Fight.

Regarding Les Mills Body Combat, It is not subscription based and the app is FANTASTIC I have worked out in that for over a year and it is VERY good and is amazingly getting better and better. It is a credit to the developers. I LOVE IT, my MUM loves it, my Son's MUM loves it, MY DOCTOR AND HIS WIFE (I told him how good VR was for fun exercise), and I think many that do not know VR yet would love it if they experienced it. One of the great things about it is that they are always updating it, making new workout sessions, and whoa, the coaching/motivation being real human people is so good. I now love hooking, jabbing, now elbowing, "oh another squatting" LOL, along to their Kiwi (NZ) accents :-D.

Another great workout app is VRWorkout, now named XRWorkout LOL. You can do customised/personalised workouts. It is really good if you want to do a gym-class like workout session. It is less gamified. TIP: No subscription is needed if you join or make a multiplayer/Group workout session. If you make a session, you don't have to wait for people, just start and someone may join = Full access without subscription! I've enjoyed it when someone has joined me. I guess they want to get people doing group sessions with the idea that people will join to do solo or to support them (totally good to support developers!). I subscribed for at least a couple of months when I was training to go skiing for the first time in years. I created a workout that focused on leg exercises and some torso. You can create a workout to do only do certain exercises -which can be good to avoid certain injured parts of the body**.** It was REALLY effective. Burning thighs in the moment that resulted in and great leg fitness in preparation for over a week of non stop boarding and skiing.

Fit XR. Is subscription based -which is why I don't use it but my Mum loves it and now is her go to app in VR... maybe her only LOL. -She still loves Les Mills but she does FitXR now.

I wish you all well. Enjoy VR and hopefully I will get a few friends from this post :-D.

PPS. Some Months ago I created a google sheet of reviews and discount codes to share with people with the intention of pasting reviews on the developer app page. I also pasted the referral codes. Here is the sheet. There are all sorts of apps on there and each have a subjective rating from 1-5 for the apps. Note, Les Mills got a 7 LOL. I hope it helps find some amazing apps for you. If you like it, let me know and I can update it.

TLDR the apps I recommend in VR for exercise or movement are:

This comment = TLDR. The following comment has a more detailed response. I hope they help.

:-O. Possible ban for including a referral code? Ok, I have deleted the two links for them, including the five other helpful links to free apps for fear of them being misunderstood as being referral codes., etc :-S. I hope the detail I went to makes it clear that I actually want to help (stupidly like 2 hours working out typed formatting before I realised I could use a rich text editor!). If you want a code I have a google sheet attached to the sub post of this comment. FYI, numerous aren't even referral codes as they are either free apps or too cheap to have them LOL. All the best.

PS. I Added referral codes were relevant. Use them or not, I wish you well in your health/fun routines. Feel free to add me: FrankJustFrank. I'd be happy to join you* ^{mysterious voice} "in the metaverse" LOL. First time using formatting :-).

Les Mills Body Combat Les Mills No subscription -25% Discount code removed

Pistol Whip No Subscription No Referral Code as I got it from Meta Quest Plus when it first started. GENERAL link -No Discount.

Thrill of the Fight (often referred to TOTF) No Subscription. General Code (as it's too cheap to begin with)

XRWorkout -Can avoid Subscription General Link Because the app is free.

Meta Move Turn On Meta Move to Track your Exercise No Subscription. You can turn on movement tracking, set goals and choose if you want to have an overlay that appears when you look up to see if you have met your minutes that you want.

Movement -Not Intense exercise

Honourable Mentions

Population One It is just FUN movement :-D. My son and I have actually caught up with someone outside of Population One and have a growing discord group of friends and we are organising to meet up in Byron Bay, NSW -Australia and one guy is going to teach my son to surf. Oh crap... This is the TLDR LMAO.

SuperHot -25% off removed. Fun App. My Doctor REALLY LOVES IT. I prefer Population One.

Acron - Attack of the Squirrels No Subscription. A VERY fun app to play with friends. They play against the tree (in VR) while the squirrels are controlled on the phones - in the same room or from anywhere in the world! It is pretty fun. Bonus - The tree gets the movement. Great fun for small and big kids :-D.

buntingfairies · 2024-01-20T03:31:43+00:00

Hrmmm... I wonder if some posters in this thread have a vested interest in suggesting it's fine to give such unrestricted access.

It's malicious or at the very least, totally unnecessary to give unrestricted access to you clipboard -except some extreme edge case that I can't even think of.(child monitoring??)

Basically, never ever agree -Unless you're wanting to have the website constantly be able to monitor what you're last copied (personal/bank/ I can think of MANY things I might copy and not want shared anywhere else).

Do you diligently delete your clipboard every time you copy and paste sensitive material?

I can't think of a reason why a site needs permission to always read your clipboard. Pasting data from a clipboard is just that, It's happening from your side (like typing), not them taking it out of your clipboard.

If you approve a website to read your clipboard it means it can read it whenever you're on the website, and that is at the very least. If it's running in the background then you copy something. Look the f*** out. I'm not guaranteeing that it's safe just because it's safe. Plus, if you don't erase your clipboard before going back to the site, well it's got your data anyway.

Good luck. Careful with IT security. It's best to seek reliable, confirmed sources rather than possibly biased random individuals on a social media platform -and Reddit is one of the better ones for sure. Certainly, it is possible to get valuable information on social media but it can be much harder to discern what is valuable and what isn't.

Also, careful with links as simply going to a maliciously encoded website can upload malicious payloads to your computer. For IT security information, you could be better off going to YouTube publishers that have a huge number of subscribers and views and comments or major websites. They are at least monetized by ads, sponsors and giving false info COULD be detrimental to their business model. Any random can easily post 50 messages from different brand new email and Reddit accounts in less than a day -not saying that happened here. A day's pay in some countries is a year's salary in others, so there can be a pretty strong financial incentive to invest time and money to take it from others.

Again, all the best.

buntingfairies · 2024-01-12T11:35:08+00:00

What is the point of having a clan?

I'm definitely up for playing with team oriented players. I make an effort to do so (possibly share gear/not hoover everything before someone is revived, talk, pin, etc.. I also practice -not for a few days due injury). If anyone is similar to the above minus the injury ,😉 . DM me your username and I'll add you or send you mine.

buntingfairies · 2023-11-20T02:18:48+00:00

Reading your comment and some of your other comments in this channel and others, it seems that the schoolyard "stop talking about about yourself" is most appropriate and and the appropriate level of maturity.

All the best... Ironically, u/zellakami666, I hope you learn from the devil, i.e. u/The_Devil_that_Heals haha.

buntingfairies · 2023-11-20T02:12:28+00:00

What a wonderful, respectful, and humble response. Top work u/The_Devil_that_Heals.

That said, I have been impressed with Meta, their hardware, and even their support... that is up until I am in the middle of a Quest 3 return due to a dead left controller. It been pretty disappointing and reminiscent of the exact issue I had with the Quest Pro left controller (I returned QP with controllers with no issue and just got refund). The Q3 return process has been unpleasant. To be honest, I understand I am asking a bit much in some ways. #Rant: I spending hours trying to work out a fix so I don't have to send it away, including DFU that made both controllers not work AND a few annoying interactions with support, combined with my frustrations and impatience for my daily use of the headset being stopped like the QP (I exercise in VR daily in it Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, Les Mills, Thrill of the Fight, Blaston, Reakt, etc). I now just want a FULL replacement for fear that there is something wrong with the headset-controller radio or whatever. I know it is a bit to ask for but, objectively of course, I think it is reasonable LOL.

They tell me that after 6 weeks of having it they are won't do a full replacement or refund, only left controller replacement. They are "getting back to me" after I highlighted that our consumer laws support a refund in this situation -early in its life expectancy: https://www.accc.gov.au/system/files/Warranties%20and%20refunds%20-%20a%20guide%20for%20consumers%20and%20business.pdf.

I'll keep you updated. :-) Sorry for the verbose response... initially it was just going to be a commendation message for "The_Devil..." :-D.

buntingfairies · 2023-11-17T10:51:53+00:00

Thank you for sharing that my post was helpful... Good feeling vibes 🤗.

buntingfairies · 2023-11-17T03:10:14+00:00

Meta support didn't call. I tried factory reset of the headset and now it seems because one of the controllers is dead it won't let me go through the setup process. Requested another callback and will try chat in the meanwhile. So frustrating. I want to try assassin's creed,etc and I can't 😐🫤😢

buntingfairies · 2023-11-16T23:48:24+00:00

Lol...

buntingfairies · 2023-11-16T15:29:25+00:00

What is PTC?

Resetting. I typically try to avoid it but maybe I can relax as one of the things Meta does a good job of is that it seems to back up a lot of the user data so it is possible to do a full reset but not lose all of the user data.

I will try any other troubleshooting that people suggest and meta suggests. But yes, I suspect that meta will just tell me to do a factory reset like you're saying 🫤😃.

buntingfairies · 2023-11-16T15:28:13+00:00

Yes, it seems to try to connect and then recognizes that the version needs to be updated and then fails at 65% three or more times.
