20 HUGE Mistakes Quest 2 BEGINNERS Make! (2024)

[@lordofbanana6869]

You tell us to not let it overheat, refuse to elaborate on how to prevent that from happening and just end the video. Just great.

[@gingergant4060]

You can feel the headset getting warm. Just pay attention and if it feels warm take a break and go outside 😮

[@owadqoiiqwdip]

Dont let it sit on your bed or any uneven surface. I did that and my brand new quest3 overheated on the first day

[@DaNkDUROO]

It’s OK I realize that he didn’t even elaborate on anything besides the shit that you have to pay for you’re not alone he’s stupid as fuck for making this

[@SkellyMcBones]

@@owadqoiiqwdip setting the headset on your bed or any uneven surface does nothing to how hot or cold the headset will be while using it..

Not playing pcvr isnt a mistake Quest was built to be a portable vr headset, its why it has its own internal hardware to run games on it So its not a mistake But you will miss out on pcvr stuff

[@david_m_stevenson001]

Thanks dude, my wife and I are getting Quest 2 headsets next payday and some of these errors I would definitely have made. I tried out Apollo 13 by VRE when I met the company's CEO Dave Whelen years ago and was blown away (that company failed as he wanted to provide virtual education by letting users attend lectures in Harvard, Yale etc forgetting that these institutions cost money). He should have stuck to entertainment! I wonder what other applications VR has? Be good to interview you (I'm a journalist, finance mainly) as there's gotta be ways to monetise the platform which I thought would have been revealed during Covid

"Not using hand tracking" *Proceeds to throw out sign language and use his jutsu

[@cetifoxproductions]

I'm clearly an outlier. I have VR for only one reason: Elite Dangerous and Star Wars Squadrons. As it is, the only games I am interested are first-person shooters/flying sim. No other games are of any interest to me. There's nothing that runs native on the Quest 2 that would drive me to use it in stand alone. Also, other than other players in ED or Squadrons, I never had a desire to seek out other people to network with. Also, the controllers are of no use to me, either, since ED and Squadrons are seated games. I'm just glad the Quest 2 was only $200. It works very well with both games I play, even if it's a bit annoying having to deal with the extra layer of software that I didn't need to deal with when I relied on Windows Mixed Reality headsets. That being said, I love your advice on cleaning as well as keeping the headset out of sunlight. Also, I plan on looking into replacement straps, since I hate the over-the-head strap (I LOVED everything about the Acer WMR headset).

[@cortex7024]

i had my quest 2 for a few years now and have used it for almost everyday and loved every moment of it. The problem came when first few months in the straps broke off so the controllers started slipping out of my hands every now and then and i tried getting some controller strap things from amazon but they were cheap and didn't help at all and then about 4 or so months ago my quest broke on me. Main thing i do in vr is boxing as it helps me train for my MMA classes to improve my striking and accuracy and i guess i was sweating wayy too much and it managed to leak into the headset and broke one day mid sesh but my controllers were also on their last legs as i couldn't play anything but that game since it kept spinning me in circles and crouching me randomly because of how broken the controllers were, i got a new one ordered now and i also got the knuckle straps with it so no more broken controllers.

Would u recommend getting the strap with battery?

Speaking of mistakes, The people who didn't watch this video made a mistake.

[@PhaethonCrafts]

Yeah I have to buy a new headstrap. My headstrap from Rebuff Reality finally completely broke, which used the cheapest plastic ever. I only bought it because it was compatible with the VR Power 2, their battery pack. Luckily I think the KIWI should work with it too, if not I am the crafty kind of person and I will find a way to make it work. But I personally hate using handtracking for the menus. It doesn't seem to work well for me or accidentally activates when I'm watching Netflix or something and moves the screen so to speak, annoying me. It's fine for games that use it, but I just get annoyed with it in the menus.

[@AP72218]

I had done the trick saw it on tiktok so much better and easier to access because you never forget to put them on

[@BlindBxy]

I don’t use the hand tricking because it’s very glitchy for some reason. Either my hand will spasm or if I connect my pointer and thumb it’ll glitch too

1. that depends on the person as like pc i prefer solo on my own i dont need kids shouting in my ear or drama 2. i don't do game screenshots 3. sidequest got it not much interest there 4. i only play quest vr games if it was from a games bundle otherwise it wil always be pcvr 5. knew at the start my ipd is perfectly 3 6. got the kiwi headstrap 7. clean it often like 2 days max if i did not sweat but if sweating i clean it more often 8. i don't use the quest speakers not headphones i use my speakers of the pc 9. don't use them i use knuckle wraps 10. because of app support because of why use the hands if you have to hold the controller anyway to play anything and that handtracking is just a novelty thing 11. first time in vr was playing 6 hours games like half life alyx, battle talent and such i don't get sick of vr no mather how long i play or how crazy a game can be also played most games at 72 hertz partly because the videocard couldn't handle it unless i lowered settings and wel i would have went 60 hertz but the quest 2 screen starts showing flickering which makes that unusable i have nothing with displays more then 60 hertz i do notice input delay reduced but its not to a point that it would make me perform better then 60 hertz 12 subscription model is pointless for me as i am not on every single day and while 1 dolar is cheap it would still be a waste for me 13. another novelty concept which wears out quickly once your actually doing workstation load 14. wel duh 15. again duh must have never seen a cartoon 16. if i damage the lenses i got polywatch for that and then the scratches are gone again i tried using it on my glasses aswel wel that was a rip thought they were actual glass so due it being mixed glass/plastic it caused a chemical burn and now when i try to i can see my own eyeball 17. have not done that yet as i hate that quest games don't have demo's unless you consider sidequest a demo platform 18. like gaming on pc i have no vatigue or strain by doing it i grew up with using a pc the hole day starting at when i was 6 19. still planing to get it but not really needing it the worst thing i ever did was hit my fan that was in my playing field for some reason but i do think it is easier to have a carpet when having limited space 20. i use anker 20,000 mah battery banks attached by velcro anoying to charge but i have zero risk of it damaging the quest 2 i always charge with the banks but try to prevent overcharge even if the bank is smart enough not to i stopped using the included charging brick as they make buzzing sounds when used and i'm not the only one that has the problem my friend's charger also buzzes which means electricity is getting stuck in the charger which in terms also means that it can charge a bit even if i disconnect it and leave it like that then eventually the buzzing sound stops if i don't let it charge anything it keeps buzzing wel past 30 minutes disconnected
