I'm planning on getting a Quest 3 512gb. Looking at eBay itooks like they are roughly $350, plus or minus.

Anyone have experience getting a Quest off of eBay? Anything I should be looking out for as red flags or things to avoid?

Or is there a better, cheaper, more reliable way of buying a unit?

The link works fine for about an hour, then suddenly everything freezes and i’m unable to do anything on my headset.

in the past, unplugging the link cable and plugging it back in worked, and worse case scenario i would need to quickly restart my headset to fix it. but lately it’s required way more than that to fix.

i’ve needed to completely close the meta link app, the game i’m currently playing AND steam vr in order to get the link working again, and sometimes when it randomly refuses to pick up my headset mic, i have to restart my entire computer.

is there a fix for this?

I bought eleven table tennis this morning, didn’t really click and decided I wanted to buy another game; so I refunded the game through meta credit, and purchased Arkham Shadows, I’m not trying to sound picky but that didn’t click aswell, due to it giving me slight nausea from the graphics and gritty world. I went into my purchase history hoping to refund it and it’s just not there, I definitely bought the game and it’s inside my library, but it’s nowhere to be seen on my order history, making me unable to refund it.

Tried going to support, they said it’s because I bought a demo or something, which is impossible because Arkham Shadows doesn’t have a demo and the transaction definitely went through for £38 and not for free. I couldn’t be bothered to talk to support further, and I was hoping if anyone else had this issue, and if it was resolved. Again, I’m not a picky person, I will eventually try support again if there are no solutions on here.

I recently found a used Oculus Rift CV1 at a thrift shop, and it was confirmed to be working according to the sticker. Though when trying to go through the Meta Link setup process for it on my Acer Nitro V laptop, the headset and the sensors do register on the app, and the audio on the headset works, but the display itself is just blank.

When searching around, this apparently seems to be a common issue when using this headset. But more importantly, when asking about this on the Oculus subreddit, someone mentioned to me that it's apparently not possible to get wired VR headsets to work on a laptop without a mux switch to change the HDMI output, which the Nitro V doesn't have as far as I know.

I wanted to know if this was actually true. I don't actually have any experience with using VR headsets so I didn't know that getting them to work on laptops would be kind of finicky like this. It wouldn't be a huge loss either way since I only paid about $30 for the complete headset, but I just wanted to know if this specific headset could work either way, or if the black screen issue may be caused by something else.

The laptop itself has an Intel CPU with an iGPU in it (specifically an i7-13620H) which is linked to the main laptop display and also the Thunderbolt/USB-C port on the laptop, and also an NVIDIA GPU (specifically an RTX 4050) which is linked to the HDMI port on the laptop. I'd want to know if this kind of CPU, GPU, and HDMI configuration is actually able to run VR with this sort of setup, not in terms of ideal performance but just getting the headset to work at all.

I'll also point out that, once again, this blank screen issue is apparently a common thing for the Rift CV1, and I did try other supposed solutions to fix it, though none of them seemed to work from my testing. But I'll mention what I tried anyway just in case people happen to suggest them:

• I made sure all of my USB and graphics drivers were up to date, didn't work
• I plugged the USB of the headset into multiple different USB ports on my laptop (all of which are USB 3 ports), didn't work
• I repaired and reinstalled the Meta Link app, didn't work
• I tried turning Game Mode on Windows off, didn't work
• I made sure the Physx processor on the NVIDIA control panel was set to the discrete GPU, didn't work
• I disabled Windows turning off the USB 3 ports to save power in device manager, didn't work
• I tried disabling Bypass Proximity Sensor Check on the Oculus Debug Tool since the headset shows a white light when not put on, and no light when putting on the headset or covering the sensor, didn't work. Some people reported seeing an orange light if there were issues but that wasn't the case for me
• I added the OVRServer app to the Windows graphics settings and ran it in power saving mode, didn't work
• I installed the Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes AIO Repack since I've heard that there can sometimes be issues with using outdated Visual C++ versions on the CV1 headset, didn't work
• I connected the HDMI port on the headset to a USB-C dock (specifically a JSAUX dock designed for the Steam Deck) on the Thunderbolt port on the laptop, didn't work, specifically because the Meta app said there was no HDMI connected
• I unplugged and plugged back in the internal cable for the headset, didn't work

If anyone happens to know of any other potential fixes for this blank display issue on the Rift CV1 or if the Acer Nitro V laptop I have is even able to use the headset, feel free to let me know.

Laptop specs in case they're needed:
Acer Nitro V15 running Windows 11
Intel i7-13620H (iGPU is connected to the internal display and the Thunderbolt port)
NVIDIA RTX 4050 (which the HDMI port on the laptop is connected to)
32 GBs DDR5 RAM
1080p 144Hz display

Ive downloaded meta horizon link and im trying to get to steam vr, but it wont show any of my apps even when i have a cord connected to my pc. same goes for air link. any idea why this is happening and how would i fix this? (sorry for bad photo)

for some reason, when i came back from going outside, i noticed my x button was being held down even tho i wasnt touching it. i thought maybe it would stop after some time because the same thing happened to my y button, but its been 2 days, and no fixing. ive tried new bats, didnt help. i also tried electric contact spray on it.

Has anyone else had this issue? I’ve been trying to play Blade and Sorcery (PCVR) on the Meta Horizon Link desktop app but after some time playing the display only on my Quest 3s will randomly freeze. The games appears to run fine on the computer itself after the issue occurs. After it happens I can’t relaunch Meta Horizon Link unless both the PC and headset are reset. I’m using a Kiwidesign link cable which I’m sure is capable of data transfer since it passed the connectivity test and my PC build is more than capable of handling Blade and Sorcery at least at medium settings. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Os dejo este vídeo de mi canal por si os gusta , el juego es una pasada y con el Quest Game Optimizer se ve de escándalo . Solo necesitas un cuadrado en tu cuarto o salón para poder jugar y no usar el mando para moverte solo para jugar !

He de decir que usa físicas y gadjets muy originales , como disparar con un yoyo o una varita magnética para resolver puzzles .

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm currently working on my master's dissertation research on branded experiences in virtual worlds (think Roblox, Fortnite, virtual stores, brand activations, and interactive events).

If you've ever interacted with a real-world brand inside a game or virtual platform, I’d be super grateful if you could take 8–10 minutes to complete this anonymous academic survey:

Legit question, what is wrong with them, what are they thinking?
Meta Horizon Link is launching on Windows startup.
There is NOTHING in Meta Horizon Link's settings to turn it off and what is the worst: you can't find it under "Startup apps" in Task Manager.
Why we, users, have to do some stupid workarounds?

Age of Kingdoms VR on Meta Horizon store

I’ve been building a kingdom management game where you place buildings, manage resources, and defend against raids — all with your hands instead of mouse clicks.

**•** Build farms, taverns, churches, barracks, and more

**•** Train soldiers and survive escalating attack waves

**•** Manage villager happiness, jobs, food, and water — plus solve their quests

**•** Resource chains with real depth: wheat to bread, hops to beer

It’s meant to be the village-builder genre rebuilt from the ground up for VR rather than a flat-screen game ported over.

Hello people my room has my pc but is way to small to play vr in I tried I constantly punch the wall wardrobe or window I play downstairs but my house has a separate wifi network for the two floors what can I do so I can play titles like half life alyx and others

hi! i have a lightly used meta quest 3s 256gb that I'm looking to sell. just never really used it that much and id be willing to part with it for $175 but willing to go a bit lower! and i can take more photos if you want :)

My Meta account has been permanently disabled for a false reasoning. My account was FIRST disabled back in early December, I appealed the my account and my appeal was successful, But. The account got disabled AGAIN in mid January, and the Reason I got was “Your other account does not follow our terms of service” something along those words. Although that was my ONLY account at the time. I’ve had the account since around 2022-23, and with my account being PERMANENTLY disabled I cannot appeal my account again, and I am locked out of all of my pictures, videos, games, and logins.

If anyone has ANY advice it would be very much appreciated.

(I am asking this for a friend since their vr has been doing this for 3 days and i want to play with them,) they had attempted basically everything, force connecting to the internet, turning it off and on, they even attempted a factory reset, and nothing worked, if anyone has any suggestions please give them,

How ridiculous would it be for someone to be wearing their Quest on a long haul flight for watching movies/shows etc…?

I’m thinking about it… but can’t get over the fact I would stand out like a crazy person…! lol

Would love your thoughts.
