When you activated your new headset for the first time, there should be an in headset message telling you that AW2 will be associated with the account.

there was not for some reason - i also have not had the £23 referral credit hit my account. I have not had any emails from meta since setting up my quest

Did you already have a previous quest headset on your account? That may have interfered with the referral. Did you follow the referral link when activating and it say congratulations or similar?

Can't help on the AW2, is the headset brand new and unused, and yours the first account on it?

sunshinewelly · 30 Oct 2023 at 15:30

yes brand new from the place that rhymes with berry

Does anyone know the process of getting Asgards Wrath 2 for free? Afaik it's not being released to around Xmas time, i've not read anywhere about we get the game, will it just become available to download when it's released?

Are you not getting the annoying popups in the headset all the time. There's the option to 'get' but no 'bog off I'm not interested' option.
So it looks like I've got to put up with the notifications until the 24th of Feb when the offer runs out.

Thanks, yes you've answered my question very well. I don't have PCVR but from what you described it's as I thought, great graphics do not always make an addictive game, so I'll play RE4. Mind you, I've still to finish Red Matter 2 first which I'm loving. Well, apart from some annoying turrets trying to kill me

I did like RE4 but almost stopped playing at the cabin fight (mostly 'cos I suck at these types of games). I did cheat and use a trainer to get me through that eventually as I tried (and failed) at least 20 times to complete it, and was quite happily enjoying it again until you were forced to switch characters. Tried that a couple of times and kept dieing and eventually just gave up and played other games. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game but I spent so long on two different scenarios it just became irritating. I'm sure you'll do much better than me

Why not just get it, and ignore it once it becomes available?

I don't want it cluttering my library up, like AW1 is doing, which I'm still never going to play.

Nope nothing in my headset either

sunshinewelly · 31 Oct 2023 at 13:24

i had to contact meta through whatapp - they manually added the referral credit (for some reason they added £25)

also the game appeared on the meta app for me at the same time

Does anyone use the quest game optimizer?. Wondered if it was worth purchasing? does it make the older games look better on the q3

My 2nd headset seems fine. When I first turned it on I thought it had a dead pixel but a reboot seemed to sort it. One thing I noticed about the 2nd headset is the pass through is so much better than my first headset. Even my other half commented about how clear this new one was.

I've just tried a TP Link Tri band AXE 5400 6E router with my Quest 3, the latency in Virtual Desktop is about the same as my ISP issued Sky 5GHz router. That was with AV1 (10 bit)/150Mbps/Godlike. I think it was no faster because there's no congestion where i am on the 5GHz band, none of the neighbours are using 5GHz yet and I only have my Quest 3 on it. It's going back to Amazon.

What latency do you get with the above out of curiosity mate

I've just been playing Alyx with AV1 @ 200Mbps Godlike resolution Q3 @ 72Hz and was getting around 45ms, same as my Sky router.

They've been improving it with updates. Mine looks better than it did on release.
