*** Oculus Quest 2 Owners Thread ***

Not the right hand quest button only though I use that too, its clicking on the sort of battery icon at bottom of dashboard after clicking on right quest button, then quick settings, and then reset interface beside the night view, clicking on the reset interface will bring up the continue box.

If things are not right for picking up on a game say too near your body, you can actually lean forward in your chair (if sitting down) before clicking that continue button, and that will make the object that you wish to pick up in game more in front of you.

At least it seems to work for me here.

Press and hold till you've recentred

 

[donegaljoe]

Thanks, that seems a quicker way, just tried it.

I'm liking the new 'futurescape' home room. I'll have to take the Q2 to work and explore it in the big play space.

Just updated from v50 to v54, seems the Quest is doing it in a few different stages as over a few days I have got a few updates.
Can I just ask if the rest of you with the latest version can still see the Quest in Windows Explorer when connected to a PC? as that option seems to have disappeared for me on Windows 10, though can still access the Quest through Sidequest.
Thanks.

Same here, the windows explorer option is still gone in V55. I also have to use sidequest with dev mode.

 

[donegaljoe]

I think it may well be a security thing so it won't be coming back.

 

[Ravenger]

Well if that's gone then it's annoying as I often put movies on the headset to watch them as you get better quality than streaming.

 

[donegaljoe]

Just tried dropping folders or files in with Sidequest, seems to work fine.

I just bought one of these to exercise in, with Les Mills BodyCombat to start with. For someone who rarely exercises this was brutal. Head to toe covered in sweat after 50 minutes. I considered waiting for the Quest 3 but the Quest 2 is pretty good value and it's not like I'm needing the best graphics for a work out.

Impressed so far. Is there anything else I should check out? Any must have apps or games?

Thrill of the fight is a reasonable work out

 

[silvagti]

I actually find superhot quite good as a workout because it forces you to move slowly and balance at awkward angles almost a bit like yoga or Pilates.

Mixing that up that up with something more frantic like beat saber is a good combo

With this new 'overclocked' Quest update has anyone noticed any improvement, UI, link or games?

Games will probably need to be updated to take advantage. Link could just see a straight upgrade I'd guess?

My Quest journey update:

I recently discovered Quest Link. I didn't know this was even a thing. I bought a 3rd party link cable (£19) and downloaded Half Life: Alyx. So damn good. I've seen videos up to this point but playing it is something else entirely. This feature is fantastic.

I'd like to go wireless but my Virgin Media Hub is terrible. Is there another way?

if your host PC has wifi you can hotspot via that.

Would I need a dedicated card or would an adapter work?
