Does anyone else have a Quest 2 with the Elite Battery Strap and can no longer see the strap's battery level individually in the headset UI? I used to be able to see that, but now I only see the level for the headset and each controller, no separate strap level. Did they combine these into one aggregated level, or is mine busted?

Fanatical is running a $15 Quest VR Bundle with the standalone Quest 2 versions. Not sure if these are crossbuy/play anywhere, but I did successfully redeem them all to Quest 2.
You get:
-Zombieland Headshot Fever($20, 4.5/5 rating)
-SculptrVR($20, 4.5/5 rating)
-Accounting+($12, 4.4/5 rating)
-Gadgeteer($15, 4.6/5 rating)
-Death Lap($20, 3.8/5 rating)
-Ghost Giant($25, 4.2/5 rating)
-Gloomy Eyes($8, 4.1/5 rating)
-Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl($10, 4.1/5 rating)
-60% off($15 off) coupon for Zero Caliber: Reloaded($25, 4.4/5 rating)
I'm mostly interested in the bolded games and the coupon, but I don't mind having the other games to try out. Zero Caliber: Reloaded comes out to $10 after the coupon. Pretty good batch of Quest 2 games for only $15($25 including Zero Caliber: Reloaded).

All the idiots saying it's "niche" in the mud.
A lot of my wife's friends have bought quests this year. That's when you know it's going well outside the traditional gaming spheres which is a good thing.
I’ve had the Elite strap with battery for months. Never saw the battery level individually without clicking on the main battery level. It’s really annoying since at a glance you don’t know if e.g. 80% battery means 80% of both batteries or just the main headset (because the Elite strap battery is out of juice).
Anyway, yeah - you have to click on the battery icon to see what’s what. No separate battery icon at a glance. If you’re not seeing a separate level for the Elite strap battery after clicking the battery icon, something else is amiss. Charge it maybe?

I think I tried clicking on that and nothing happened, but I'll try again. The headset charges when charging through the strap, so clearly the connection is there at least.
Yeah that’s weird. Maybe try a reboot.

My gf got me a Quest 2 for X-Mas.
Played some already and was floored, plus I ran over her foot.
It's so much more visually sharper over the PSVR I had and sold a few years ago. Anyways, Since I haven't really had a gaming PC in forever looking for recommendations 1k - 1200 to use the Oculus link , not in a rush because it looks so good as a stand alone. I missed VR the immersion feeling is so great.

anything above the GTX 1060 6GB is okay for VR so 3060 should be fine

You can still do it. You need to factory reset your Quest. Go through the referral link and then set your quest up again. I'm not sure it's ok here but I'm sure a lot of Quest owners would give you a referral link if you PM them (including me) since it benefits both sides.i got a quest and made an account but i saw that there is a referal bonus for new people?

That's exactly what the 2 people I know that came from PSVR said. They couldn't believe the clarity.

The original Quest was still a big step up from the PSVR. The Q2 eliminated the screen door effect from the Q1.
The PSVR2 needs to bring it's A game, and be wireless. Not having the bulky cables is huge.

Have they changed the Facebook login yet? Been a while I’ve used my Quest 2 or updated it, but I remember they talked to remove the Facebook login a while ago.
i purchased a quest 1 for someone and two weeks later the quest 2 came out. i had the dk2 and cv1 and oculus dropped support for the cv1. hate the Small FoV on quest and quest 2, maybe i'll get one but i don't see them ever ceding to it.
i know this is a niche opinion amongst VR users but FoV is literally the single most important aspect of an hmd to me (given that the screens are reasonably decent, index level quality at least). narrow FoV ruins the immersion for me and i can kind of get used to it but then the whole experience becomes an exercise in settling for something and not actually blown away by the experience, feels more like a gimmicky game than actual virtual reality.
i know this is cliche to say but virtual reality needs to actually mimic reality and not some glorified view finder. just my opinion

I think fov is very important, but switching back and forth trying the primax and my rift S back in the day, i just got used to the downgrade so fast it didn't seem worth it as a big deal.

Lucky for me quest 2 is my first device and I haven't tasted better fov. I love the thing but I'm already waiting for the next iteration. They better make the fov way better, the resolution is honestly pretty good. Sometimes I pretend my character has. Spec ops gogs on and that helps trick me.

Air Link and Virtual Desktop are done over Wi-Fi, and the experience depends on your router and the frame rate of the PC serving the game. With the right setup it works really well with improved visuals over standalone play with minimal latency penalty.

Makes me all warm and fuzzy how many people got quest 2s for Christmas and are loving it. Merry Christmas gaf

The other day I was smoking weed and then by putting on the headset , I may have realised that , by playing these violent games in VR, we're getting insensitive to violence. We're mimicking the action of pulling a knife in and out of a body in The walking dead.
It all feels normal when playing regular pankake video game but as soon as I smoked weed and tried walking dead in VR, I was totally flabbergasted by the realistic violence and that maybe, Meta is actually analysing our statistics. Sure I was high but I would not be surprised that corporations like Meta are more than simple social media.
I don't know why they are dragging their feet in this area, I've been hoping for ages now they would finally add a vr camera to a couple of corners of a motogp race so you could watched the races from some really unique places. Sport would give it a pretty good boost in my opinion.

As a VR fan and PSVR owner, I was impressed by my new Quest 2. Playing your PC VR games via Wifi (Oculus Air Link), starting VR instantly without any cable hassle, feeling free and not stumbling on your furniture because Guardian shows you when you're about to hurt yourself.
Bigscreen to watch 3D movies like if you were in a real theater. Skybox to stream VR and 360 videos directly from your PC (a lot faster than copying files on the headset). Playing Half Life Alyx with Air Link. Playing VR poker (pokerstars VR) like at a real table. Everything works perfectly.
I'm more than ever a VR believer. What it brings in immersion is so huge it's obvious it will be a major part of gaming pretty soon. Only question is when it will really takes off. I feel it's starting just now. Quest 2 is a major step forward.

I feel like it's already mainstream. 10 million units sold in a year is console numbers. The previous bestselling VR headset barely cracked 2 million in a year. And for me, I never predicted those numbers despite being a big believer in the tech.

Someone got me an oculus quest 2 for Christmas. While there is I like about it compared to my original vive and psvr.
VR still sucks and have nothing good but carnival games.
Carnival games? What? I didn't even know there were that many and I was just on the Quest store.
It's all in the wrist

The Quest 2 is finally fairly easy to get into (wireless is necessary), but we are a few hardware revisions away from where it needs to be. The field of view, frame rate, and screen quality is so important to having a pleasant experience.

I think that's just a minority opinion. All those things will be great when they're improved on, but the vast majority can have a pleasant experience now.

My non-gaming sister bought a Quest for her very casual gamer son for Xmas and our WhatsApp family chat has been spammed with various family members playing, so it looks to me like Meta are doing what they set out to do, anecdotally of course.
Ironically l, I sold my Rift S headset last month and likely won’t be buying again, at least for some time.

What carnival games collections are on the Quest store? The only one I know of is Pierhead Arcade and that's on AppLab (and actually really good). There are tons of great Quest games:Someone got me an oculus quest 2 for Christmas. While there is I like about it compared to my original vive and psvr.

1. RE4
2. Lies Beneath
3. Robo Recall
4. Contractors
5. Journey of the Gods
6. Moss
7. Ghost Giant
8. 2MD VR Football
9. Premium Bowling
10. Resist
I could go on and on. I'm not even sure that's a top ten, just some games I've been playing recently. I will say it needs more titles but overall I think there is a quality library here built up since 2019. Now some of these games are better on PC but since I can't upgrade my 1070 because of the chip shortage the Quest and Quest 2 have kept me plenty busy.

Do you play single player or are you mostly interested in multiplayer? The game requires a but if patience online as you will run into some people who play it religiously but for the most part the community is friendly. It's definitely a lot of fun if you're ok with multiplayer.
Single player is basically a bunch of bots vs you. They just hunt you down. It's ok but I wouldn't recommend it for that.
