Yeah very clearly seeing it. It even happens when I turn hand tracking off, so I think something’s up with my controller’s capacitive sensor

Well I already have an 11gb movie file on the headset so it did work before.... BUT
I tried transferring a 19gb(!) copy of Avatar 3D to the headset and it copied... BUT it is not visible.
I also tried a 6gb file and that did the same.
Also tried sidequest and that's the same. So they have borked this and I shall be complaining on their forums.

ah, so I think I'm reluctantly going to be returning my Q3.
Had a decent go in iRacing tonight, and the PCVR performance over link ain't half bad. Managed a smooth 90fps without any juddering which was nice, but a shame it's not 10bit as slight colour banding.
The main reason is the god awful mura. I've never seen anything so bad. It's like I'm wearing a really dirty headset all the time. Even in oculus home, the second you move your head you can see it all.
oh, and there's some trapped dust in the left lens. Come on meta!!!!

Did you try changing the file extension to .txt and then change it back to .mp4 or whatever after it copies over?
I'd love a native version of From Other Suns. Quest 3 should have no issues as the graphics are pretty cartoony.
I must get it.
I guess the thing which might hold back certain games is that Meta understandably are keen to release games on both the Quest 2 and 3 for the forseeable future so I can imagine some ports might just not be an option until Quest 2 support is dropped in a year or two's time.

I think the banding is down to compression and not lack of 10bit colour.

I got some 4K movies that are over 20GB and they play just fine.
Also got some full sbs that are almost 20GB and no problem playing those either.

So even though I've not put my vive up for sale yet I decided to get the Q3. Went through topcashback, never used it before so signed up, saw that there was a £30 bonus if you referred someone and the other person gets £10. Referred myself to myself, will see if that works
. Then did the credit option through very which gives approx £98 off.
not sure how much cashback is available.
Worse case the 128gb model comes in £388.98, any more cash back on that is a nice bonus!
Only £1 more for next day delivery rather than a week later! No brainer, should be here saturday.
I've been using the first gen htc vive since 2017. Did the gear VR lens mod on it, the DAS fitted and had the tp cast wireless adapter fitted. Tracking was amazing, not sure an inside out unit can give as good tracking but i'm hoping for a nice visual upgrade.

200mb 10bit AV1 didn't have any banding though, but because my router is miles away I got a lot of juddering. I actually thought oculus link over the usb was very good....if not for that, I'd be hard pressed to tell much difference. Unfortunately I reached the conclusion I don't like the headset for other reasons so I'm giving up.
Ah fair enough might give 10bit AV1 a go then.200mb 10bit AV1 didn't have any banding though, but because my router is miles away I got a lot of juddering.

Yesterday I discovered that wireless PCVR stutters like mad when headset is changing height (crouching and standing up) which doesn’t happen over a cable.
People think it’s the weaker antennas in quest 3 but I was holding router in my hands for testing while crouching and standing up so the distance and angle between the headset and the router was the same and it was still stuttering.
Clearly something wrong with tracking when connected wirelessly.
Anyway I’m sending mine to Meta for a replacement due to 120hz flicker as it wouldn’t be fair returning it to rainforest as it was heavily used by now.
In the time I used it, I had various issues with it like freezing where only holding power button for over 20s would power it back on, some weird faint mesh showing up on both screens which wouldn’t go away even after a restart but eventually disappeared, brightness flicker when first powered on/ woken up from stand by after longer down time for about a minute and constant brightness flicker in 120hz.
Also I’m still not very happy with the amount of chromatic aberration which was exactly the same on the 2 headsets I tried.
So yeah those things have a ton of issues.

Mine crashed a couple of times, but also has this weird issue where when I reset the view inside my car, I wasn't sat in the middle of the seat lol I had to reset the view with me sat to one side in order to get lined up properly. That was just one of many, many issues I had with it. To be honest, this has all been a bit of a disaster lol
This is brilliant! Because of you, I have ordered a Bobo VR M2, and will do this until the official retrofit kit is available!Not 3D printed but

As my Quest 3 arrived this morning (finally) does anyone know if it is possible to do the Quest 3 referrals like we did with the Quest 2? I know there was some discussion on it but I didn't notice any consensus opinion. Has anyone done it? I can't remember what the rules are on referrals either. Is it just a PM or was there a specific sub-forum? I'm sure I've seen a link before but I'm clearly blind as a bat as I can't find it now.
Do you mean referrals for 25% off games?
Just a PM, I've PM'd you with what is apparently the correct way to get the refferal to work. Don't know if anyone got it working, but I know just activating the q3 with a referral link doesn't work if you already had a q2.
What are these referrals?
