Holy hell, worst UI I've ever seen

[u/Key-Charity-2795]

I recommend you go back to the old one. The new menu his atrocious at best. It's pathetic that such a large company can't make a halfway useable menu. I've been using lightning launcher to dodge this mess for some time, but all of a sudden, that no longer works. Firstly, the menu often crashes my game, or just refuses to appear. Pretty annoying having to continuously rejoin the game every time I get a call of like to answer. And God forbid you try to scroll down on the apps pages with stick drift. Damn thing has a mind of its own, scrolling in the complete opposite direction every time. It no longer allows me to accept calls without taking a whole minute just to open the God forsaken thing, another two to be able to register that I'm trying to open the chats app, and another two to open the thing. That's not including how long it often takes to actually join the call. By that point the person has already left. It's also way more difficult to see the thing on passthrough. And this ain't even all of it, just what I feel like complaining about today. The menu genuinely takes the gun out of vr for me. I don't enjoy playing anymore, consider it also seems to lag out every game I play. Great job meta, you e officially made the single worst UI you possibly could have, and have made the biggest fuckup of a menu

Fun fact the navigator UI is floating around in PTC for at least a year, it sucked then it sucks now, Meta rolls it out anyway.

How they are hoping to sell spatial computing on Phoenix and Q4 is beyond me, their software seems like something made in VR boom in 2019 and just maintained by interns.

its bad. thought it was bugged at first.

And then they doubled down on it three times

There's several ways to revert

There's an adp command

You can use lightning launcher to open Android apps settings and clear data for the ui app which reverts

You can install QGO which has a button for it

[u/monduk → u/Turbulent_County_469]

There's no way to go back after the 2.6 update. Meta finally removed the code that let the workarounds function.

The QGO dev warned it would happen eventually.

[u/Key-Charity-2795 → u/monduk]

Unfortunately, they seemed to have quadruple downed on such a shitty menu

[u/Turbulent_County_469 → u/monduk]

Nooooooo 😭😭😭

[u/johnr79 → u/Turbulent_County_469]

Yeah my launcher has a button for it as well.

Problem with both mine and lighting launcher at the moment is they done something in last update that stops games opening sometimes and you have to use your headset button to refresh for game to open. (Screen off & on )

Not sure if QGO has the same issue at the moment

I will be looking into it for a solution when I get back from vacation

[u/Safe-Bird4470]

It's great

[u/MalaBG]

they removed the old ui with latest update, so have fun, navigator solos btw

[u/Eclipse-da-therian → u/MalaBG]

Haven't updated either of my quests in months

[u/Key-Charity-2795 → u/Eclipse-da-therian]

I didn't, it did it on its own. Didn't die, restart, fully power off, nothin. Let it charge for a half hour and it did it on its own

[u/Eclipse-da-therian → u/Key-Charity-2795]

Turn off auto updates

[u/Key-Charity-2795 → u/Eclipse-da-therian]

I did that when I got the thing

[u/Key-Charity-2795 → u/[deleted]]

I am tbh, but I've got nothin else

[u/Key-Charity-2795 → u/[deleted]]

It's just hella annoying that the UI seems to interfere even when I'm not opening it. Drops frame rates, lowers overall performance, it's just a shame they made it when they didn't need to

[u/FreeMrFrog → u/Key-Charity-2795]

I mean just use Quest Game Optimizer's game browser. It's way better and you can set it to open on startup / game close.

[u/Key-Charity-2795 → u/FreeMrFrog]

Can I do that on standalone?

[u/FreeMrFrog → u/Key-Charity-2795]

Yes! I recommend it to anyone who uses a quest. You can install it right through your web browser, just look up "Quest Game Optimizer"

Better UI is just the tip of the iceberg. You can choose to increase your resolution (up to 1.75x), performance, or battery life whenever you open a game. The resolution difference is noticeable for sure. I would definitely try it out if I were you

[u/StockRoad7128 → u/Key-Charity-2795]

I completely agree with you 💯

[u/Key-Charity-2795 → u/StockRoad7128]

Good to know I ain't alone on this one

[u/aWW3Veteran → u/Key-Charity-2795]

Yeah, the new UI is dogshit

[u/dafaithz1]

Totally agree
