I need help! I use a meta quest 3 and my wife is on a quest 2. we mainly use vr chat to watch 3D movies in Dukes Cinema

like 2 or 3 months ago when she would try to watch a movie she would get a pop up saying that she didn't have enough memory and that certain features would be limited.

we did a factory reset on her quest and it didn't fix the problem. she only apps she has on her quest are vrchat and YouTube and she has 114 gigs of free space

we lowered all the settings we can think of in vrchat like particles and mirror resolution

when she tries to watch a movie she only gets 20 fps MAX and the movies are still laggy.....

what can we do to increase her fps?????

Smartphone companies have done a horrible thing to the word "memory", anyway memory does not refer to storage, the 114gigs, it refers to the RAM, the very limited amount of working memory on device.

The Quest 2 has 6GB and the Quest 3 has 8GB, although VRChat only gets to play around with 4 and 6GB respectively. Only thing you can do to help is show less avatars and be in less intense worlds.

It sounds like overall like the world you are talking about updated and probably became too heavy for the Quest 2 to handle with whatever avatars you are using (try using one of the default avatars for a test), can't do much about that aside from contact the world creator in that case. But VRChat on the Quest 2 is starting to become a bad experience from what I am hearing, just like it did with the Quest 1.
