The meta headset borkdate thread.

I checked my lads. It’s on 71 and says 72 ready to install. I’ve disabled auto update once I saw that. So think I was lucky.

Still says it will install from Jan 18th currently.

I've had no issues with V72.. and so have lots of others.. (including my son who also has a Q3) ... I guess it's the Meta borkdate lottery..
 
I did notice it now says Meta OS or sometihng on the boot screen now, when did that happen?

Hope my boys headset comes through unscathed, and my spare headset too. That probably hasn't updated in a while. I'll just leave it off.
 
at a 1000 i dont disagree. tbh it sounds like they ballsed the update rather badly if this amount of issues to be reported. unless its related to some mod installed preventing upgrade correctly. i.e. quest optimiser (not saying it is, just example)
 
Latest update to the mobile app renders the original Quest unsetupable, as the safety video stalls and doesn't allow any further setup process.



 
The current V72 borkdate has got meta to create a borkdate update page.


e: And now they changed the content of the page. You initially could subscribe to updates on the update issue.

Meta is quite strict on under 10s using the headset. Loads of accounts being disabled as parents bought it for their children for Xmas.

I believe it uses the eye sensors and mic to detect.
 
got my son a quest 2 last Xmas and it’s always had connection issues every other week, tbh I don’t think there software for updates and fixes are any good

Had to do plenty restarts of it or factory resets

I certainly wouldn’t be getting another vr by meta
 
my humour / typing failed me some what.
its also bad publisity and shows how bd the update / meta are with dealing with the issue.
not really sure why they decieded to release an update right before xmas. most tech companies will try and do change freezes

Yep it was a bad idea. The meta forum was carnage on Christmas day. It was just as bad on reddit.
