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..

[@owadqoiiqwdip]

@@SkellyMcBones dude… if the air-exit is blocked by a blanket or something it will overheat quickly

[@Azillia]

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

[@Aes80s]

ur just too poor to have a good pc

[@Azillia]

@@Aes80s the u.s has a flawed economy Also i had a pc that could run vr but it got stolen, dont be ignorant and assume things Learn to be grateful for what you have

[@Azillia]

@@Aes80s also go back to English class You're* Quit trying to get attention, goodbye

[@Azillia]

@@Aes80s also you encourage people to cheat in game by buying hacks, i wouldnt listen to someone like you That's just no life behavior

[@Millticker]

​@@Azillia had to come back three times. although I agree with the pcvr stuff but how in the world does cheating encourage people to cheat it's not good that someone's cheating, but it doesn't make anyone else cheat also chill with the spelling correction, this is the internet it's intentional

[@evilsohn]

Easy fix for Mistake 14): Get a tiny USB IR Light that attaches to the side of your Quest 2 - cheap, easy fix, let's you play in the dark, and even turns your quest 2 into a cheap night vision goggle.

[@Smellafella5]

You know you say a mistake is not playing pcvr when the whole reason people get a quest 2 is because THEY DON’T HAVE A PC

[@Reggie-grand]

Yeah

[@LinLotl]

I remember the first time (probably in 2021) I cleaned my headset, i used a random sock for cleaning EVERYTHING. From the lenses inside, my sweat dirty controllers and the inside of the headset, but the thing is that I still do it to this day-

Im actully looking that on my quest 2 thx for the tipps

Can confirm everybody needs to play RecRoom in vr. Especially if you're into stuff like videogame development/design or if you're interested in getting involved in it but dnt know where to start! Its free and fun AND you can hang out wjth other creators all day.

Im getting mine tommoror and youve saved me! i just realized that VR isn't about playing alone and only the VR Games No! I'll make sure to make loads of friends and downloading sidequest to play loads of fun FREE VR Games! Thanks!

thank you🤓

I like how he went on blade & sorcery discord and asked someone to play even though it’s single player

[@karlikfrank]

There's a mod that allows you to play with more people but it's really buggy.

[@truck_dude]

Thanks man. I've just ordered mine from Target and it should arrive this week. Super excited for it to arrive and this video helped me learn more about VR and I'm most excited to play Job Simulator cause that was my dream since I was 7 years old. And now I can finally play it. Can't wait to get into it

[@user-sb9dd5yh5d]

I've wanted a vr headset for about 4 years, and I have asked for one every year for my birthday or Christmas but still haven't gotten one yet. I do understand we don't have much money now, but I'm about 95% sure I'm not getting one this year either... I came to my senses and realized, so I decided to start saving my money and now I have just enough money to buy my own headset. I'm waiting till after Christmas before I buy anything cuz I don't wanna have 2.

[@tamarak3943]

Did you get one for Christmas?

for sidequest do you need a pc tower or can you hook it up too a monitor and will it work?

[@memmnon]

i want to add one thing to getting games and thats keeping an eye on humble bundle . cause you can get a decent set of games for VR for a pretty decent price .

[@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.

[@fleetwoodsoup7443]

Thrill of the fight is EXACTLY how I killed my rift s. Now that I got me a meta quest, it's time for it to die too playing too much vr boxing while sweating lol

[@cortex7024]

@@fleetwoodsoup7443 yh man thats the way haha, its tough aye because you wanna just keep playing but then you get super sweaty and dont realise how much until eventually something breaks haha

[@solidghost4525]

This video was LIT

[@population0001]

as a professional population 1 vr game player i took off my hand straps because they would distract me and when i didn't use them they kept bouncing on the controlled making noises

same here except in gorilla tag

Would u recommend getting the strap with battery?

if i connect the oculus/meta to my laptop and play vr steam games can i then still use the oculus/meta to run the games bc my laptop is probably not strong enough

[@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

[@AdmireVega]

why not wait for the quest 3?

[@Victoria_shipwave]

1:20 i dont have a cable and i have a error trying to connect to my steam link vr, it is really sad what im losing and its frustrating, i have the same wifi on both pc and quest 2, but still cant connect, what should i do?? (Its not a error 200)

[@recfoxVR]

Tbh I like the default head straps. I'm just used to it

[@coolguy360yt]

What do you need to plug your quest into your PC

[@lexieplays2193]

The bobovr m2 pro has quick change batteries making it virtually infinite power. Its also very comfortable

[@HugoStiglitz88]

I don't have the battery pack but the harness itself is super comfortable

[@toddtyler9051]

I used my friends vr headset and got to play gorilla tag and absolutely loved it 😍

[@caseystradley4660]

Just to put it out the the quest 2 charging cable does not work as a connector to your pc, u need to buy a connector online, I bought a super long one incase I need to keep it attached to pc when I play

[@porgstew3657]

You can also buy the better head straps with built-in headphones

[@KNG_SKY]

How do you keep it from overheating if your mid raid on ghost of tabor and what if we dont have a pc for pcvr you know these things do cost money

[@bl3w2]

the easy way to fix most of the problems like being light headed, over heating headset and also can help you stay ( for the most part ) put, ( still use a small carpet) etc. and the east fix to all of these problems is drum role please ... a room cooler personally I use a black decker.

[@PIZZARATRBLX442]

depending on the type of over the ear headphones you can totally just put those on and it works great for me

[@PIZZARATRBLX442]

if you arent using the elite strap that is* as someone who also uses rift s im not a huge fan of the halo straps actually, I prefer the thin Velcro( I still think the video has lots of good tips though)

[@ShayNBrayden]

Do I need a high end pc to play the pcvr games?

[@okamic1750]

How do you let it overheat? You mentioned it but gave no resolution or cause

[@gyron.]

thanks for the awsome vid!

[@AB-on-YT]

I decided to play a space game with space physics as the first game i played I literally almost through up and had to lay down multiple times

[@GXNNXRL]

So I have like an orange tint on my meta quest 2 it’s not on the outside lens and I don’t think it’s sun damage cuz i turned it off and back on and it had that tiny so what is it

Hey, can the Steam deck run pcVr? My computer can't run vr at all and I wanna correct that mistake

[@solsoyce]

bro uploaded on my birthday

[@bucketrg672]

the quest 2 has a pretty hard time overheating because of the hardware limitations put by meta but in rara cases it can anyways :(

[@peanutinatree7191]

I dont like sidequest... but a link canle works pretty well. Mostly bc airlink doesn't work

[@rockyoliver8459]

Air link works pretty good, but you have to setup a few extra things. The most important thing is not using your main router, you need one specifically for the VR headset. I setup a 5Ghz router as an access point (connected into an ethernet (non WAN) and made a sacrifice of turning the data rate to 40mbps-80mbps whichever works best. I also set SteamVR to beta, and oculus to beta. Then I got some good results.

[@jett-leeabrams3174]

I know I’m late for this video but I use a rift S headset for oculus and I connect my little little cable to my headset and my PC so I could play a steam 😊VR because I don’t wanna play any other dumb games

[@ItzBoDa]

How do I get the quest plus program thing?

[@SMLsMostHated]

I love how u used the Mario Wonder Elephant Fruit power up for my dolls with elephant ears and i actually have Mario Wonder when it first came out because I had it on Pre-Order but me and my friend have fun with the game and thx for these VR Tips but I don’t have one and my 4 friends have VR

[@Shyborg0]

How to NOT overheat??? I mean when im playing bonelab with 94% till 16% the quest gets a bit louder and warmer, is that bad/overheating?

[@MaryseMesa]

yeah, after finding out that i could play phasmophobia with steamlink, I grinded phasmo for so many hours haha 😂 it's pretty much the only way I can play it

after using my quest 2 for one year, i now just discovered I could adjust IPD

[@coolgamer9015]

Idk how to play pcvr and sidquest pls teach me how to

[@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).

[@ITS_TROOK]
