how to get around annoying quest pro bug

[bigmike20vt]

hi.
this is a weird one. I just set up my 1st game of walkabout golf with my lad
on my quest pro inset up the room and it popped up a setting window to accept or deny the game access to my microphone.

but for some reason I could not interact with it. if it were windows it was like I was tabbed into a different window (in this case walkabout golf) where the panels all would work.. but I didn't know how to switch into the menu window to click accept (or deny). I tried with controllers and my hand neither worked. also tried obvious things like the oculus button.

on the quest 2 however no such problem. when the message came up the walkabout golf game obviously backgrounded itself and I was no longer interacting with the game but with the menu. once I clicked accept then the window closed and the game automatically came back into focus.
I was still able to play but no mic which meant my lad could talk to me over the headset but I had to shout for him to hear me in the next room.

it's not a hardware issue , it's software. but there must be a fix as it would be all over the place if not. a reboot didn't sort it tho.

Try suspending the headset then resuming when the dialogue box is on screen

Also you can access the various app permissions in one of the settings menus.

so I tried that but no dice. on the bright side I just uninstalled the game and reinstalled. it then worked exactly as it did on the quest pro so that is now sorted.
but there is more..... this isn't a game issue it's an OS problem.
it's essentially the same kind of issue.

every game I load comes up with a "allow acces to game files " the window is always there. it does not affect games directly that I can tell. ... If I click the game on the task bar I can't see theessage. but as soon as I go back to the desktop that message is there. hopefully next os update will just fix it.

this minor niggle aside I could not be happier with my purchase.
I think it's time to put the G2 up for sale. I don't need 3 headsets.

Yeah unfortunately some of the recent updates have been buggy. For instance my left controller keeps saying it's overheating when playing Walkabout. I'll enable the PTC later to see if that fixes it.
