My Quest 2 headset just automatically updated it's firmware and just for a change now has issues and broken things. Skybox VR Player loaded as usual and i noticed flickering on all the videos so i checked the preferences and found that 90hz framrate is now missing with only the option of 60hz, 72hz and Auto. This flickering is really noticeable to me and gives me headaches. Is anybody else having this issue yet ?

@"Vrsumo2017"#p32879 Do you still have the 90hz framerate option in prefs or has it gone ? Also my Quest 2 firmware is v47.263, you might not have updated to that yet. I also think it's very unlikely they will make the headset 120hz default as that will cause battery issues and performance issues.

Hunky-Dory mine played fine, idk if I gitvthe update yet tho. 😟

But, I did hear the new update was gone set the quest 2 to automatically by default be on 120hz.

Also I get these lil minor stutters when i playing videos, what helped that for me was turning wifi off and back on.

That's exactly what the vr youtuber said, his theory was meta trying to mess up the quest 2 to get users to upgrade to pro or quest 3. But it was just a theory of his. But he did say 120hz would be be the default with the new upgrade.

This guy keeps up with all the vr news. So he might be right about the 120hz upgrade 🤷‍♂️

Vrsumo2017 I can all but guarantee you that meta is not trying to mess up their Quest 2 a product that is at least still in sustaining development.

Meta just laid off 11000 people with 726 of them being Seattle/Bellevue area where a lot of quest development happens. Between that and refocusing development resources on current/upcoming products (pro, quest3) teams always shrink for the existing “solid” product and this is a bug that likely slipped through the cracks.

I’m guessing it will get fixed soon.

Vrsumo2017 That's bs, the quest pro is not marketed at consumers. The Quest 3 will be.
