# vale shore But bonelab runs fine on quest 2

Games have a thing called "optimization" to make them run better, more recently newer games ditch this idea, if Rec Room surprisingly added optimization like Bonelab has, Rec Room on quest 2 can look very similar to PCVR, and run Crescendo. So they say it's because quest 2 can't run it, but it can, they're just lazy.

vale shore
#

So it is possible but there lazy to add it

bitter surge
#

Yes.

#

Why do you think the mirror is still buggy? It might take more than five minutes to fix, and there isn't any copy and paste code for it.

vale shore
#

I think they should just add it so everyone is happy

#

Optimization 👍

bitter surge
#

Well, Crescendo won't make them money. Buying 50,000 tokens for 60 USD will.

vale shore
#

Still it will get people back and when the play again people will buy more tokens so rec room makes more money

bitter surge
#

You think they care? It will not bring many kids back who are willing to spend a stupid amount of money on a currency.

#

PCVR, PSVR, and screenmode are used by many of the older audience for Crescendo, most little kids play in VR us quest 2 and they don't know about Crescendo.

brisk crown
#

Being honest what % of the recroom community (that plays on quest 2 mainly) would actually play crescendo

bitter surge
#

Maybe 35% for one game, but then they would stop due to length.

brisk crown
#

Nor will it ever

bitter surge
#

Rec Room isn't optimized in general.

earnest valve
#

simple answer: cant run cuz of the battery

bitter surge
#

Wrong answer.

vale shore
#

It’s not a bad headset

bitter surge
#

Compared to PCVR it's a horrible headset.

#

Better than PSVR.

vale shore
#

Was isle on the quest when isle came out

bitter surge
#

I believe so.

#

But I think Isles and Crescendo came out before quest 2.

vale shore
#

I mean with the battery life of the quest you’ll probably be able to get past the library

bitter surge
#

False.

vale shore
#

And that’s it

brisk crown
bitter surge
#

The headset seems to die fastest in Rec Room, for the same reason.

#

You could probably beat Crescendo twice before it died.

vale shore
bitter surge
#

So? I do it in PCVR, and screenmode, I had a sub eighteen minute run. The average run is fifty-five minutes.

vale shore
#

So on my quest I have the red apples and vampire hunter set

brisk crown
bitter surge
#

I probably average around thirty minutes.

brisk crown
#

20 at most 💀

bitter surge
#

The last runs I remember were under twenty minutes.

#

But I'm trying to include bad and good runs including closer to when I first played Crescendo.

near sedge
#

do you enjoy explosives?

bitter surge
#

That is off-topic.

I played crescendo a few times and i completed 1 đŸ«„

bitter surge
#

No.

near sedge
#

yes

bitter surge
#

Elaborate.

near sedge
#

quest 2 + cresendo = boom

bitter surge
#

Perhaps, but it definitely wouldn't if they would just optimize their game.

near sedge
bitter surge
#

Do you not understand what optimization is?

near sedge
#

are you a developer that knows that they “would just optimize their game.” and crescendo would function on q2

bitter surge
#

If Quest 2 can run Bonelab with the same physics as PCVR, and many older computers can run Atomic Heart on medium graphic settings, quest 2 would be able to function on Quest 2.

near sedge
#

that’s literally why bonelab sucks

fathom dirge
#

yes, but Rec Room is an unoptimized mess

bitter surge
#

No?

#

Optimization doesn't make a game worst.

fathom dirge
bitter surge
fathom dirge
bitter surge
#

Optimization is made to increase frame rate.

fathom dirge
#

optimization is what allows a game to run at maximum capacity

#

and Rec Room isn't optimized

near sedge
fathom dirge
#

because the framerate would be horrible

bitter surge
#

Maybe it wouldn't be able to run even if it is optimized, but if it was it wouldn't just explode.

fathom dirge
#

because REC ROOM IS UNOPTIMIZED

bitter surge
#

Yes.

Yes.

#

If you put a firework in any VR headset it wouldn't work anymore?

#

That's not Quest 2 exclusive.

near sedge
#

I didn’t say every headset is immune to explosives

near sedge
# fathom dirge

how does that prove the idea of fireworks not blowing up a q2

#

bitter surge
#

Ain't no way bro used lazy rec rooms own word against us 💀

merry zephyr
#

This conversation was weird. but the reason why is that rec room has no intention going back to older quests and optmtizing it for the quest 2 and instead would rather focus on new rros

The same reason GTA 6 is not out yet.

I have a feeling Crescendo could release to Quest 3 though

my headset once did the “system alert” overheating warning and shut itself off, and it was only warm, not even close to being too hot

fathom dirge
sullen marlin
#

pretty sure if it were boiling hot, it would be hot outside also

#

plus, i booted it up and it worked perfectly fine afterwards

#

was probably just a false alarm or some shit

fathom dirge
#

so what? the internal thermometer misjudged the temperature

sullen marlin
#

anyways about the crescendo topic

#

if rr studio ever releases to the public, im sure someone will make it themselves

fathom dirge
#

and it'll run just fine

sullen marlin
#

i mean ^Crescendo_Beta exists, but it’s made with Maker Pen

sullen marlin
#

rr studio is still pretty poorly optimized on Meta Quest

#

like the flashing sky for instance

#

mostly happens to me when im laggy

#

If they make it and its Super laggy Ill still play it.

#

Yeah what everybody else said, RecRoom is so poorly optomized even for VR standards that RecRoom would actually have to care about more than making some cash to get it running properly

#

As you can tell, that's not happening anytime soon.

dark jay
#

yeah

#

I think they put all or well almost all their resources on making new things that look cool which would explain why the new things actually look cool

#

they were made with care and they try to make things that would please the player when they buy it

#

they want the player to feel good feel like it's worth the purchase just to wear and then probably leave whenever something else new comes out

#

I personally feel like if they put some resources on optimizing the game for the good of all the platforms and some on trying to make new cool things then well it may just be worth it even though the new accessories would have a loss in quality probably

#

hi

#

i came in just to tell all of you quest 2 users

#

crescendo isn’t gonna ever come on quest 2

#

crying in a discord thread won’t make them make something impossible into possible

#

they would have done that already if they could

dark jay
#

no they wouldn't

#

unless there were changes to their priorities

#

I'm not saying if recroom started prioritizing on optimizing the game that crescendo would come to quest 2

#

but it would be kind of possible I'm not sure though as I'm no developer myself

torpid umbra
#

I’m just confused about the fact that it’s not “Powerful Enough” for the quest 2. We’ve had new RRO’s, and all 4 of the other quests work. Why would it be a problem for crescendo to be put on the quest 2? How is this game, compared to other quests, more “powerful” than the quests we have right now? I’m just confused. Would it be able to be put on the quest 2 if another quest was taken down? Or is crescendo really that “powerful” for the quest 2 to actually handle. I’m not a developer either, but it makes no sense why they can’t.

well I wouldn't know cause I never played it

Ye that me, and that's a goal at the bottom

dark jay
#

oh ok

#

well hello hackybear đŸ«Ą

zealous swan
#

have you compared the details of crescendo to other quests

zealous swan
#

quest 2 runs on a mobile cpu

#

with no dedicated gpu

#

what did you expect it to do

torpid umbra
zealous swan
#

graphics isnt the problem

#

it never was

#

the fact that people still enjoys rec room on quest 2 already tells that graphic is never a matter

#

because rec room runs on quest 2 at like 360p

#

the issue is the fps

#

now imagine yourself playing in a quest with ~30 fps and a resolution lower than 360p

#

lets say 200 ish

#

200ish resolution will already make your brain feel horrendous

#

let alone the 30 fps

#

note that the targeted fps of any vr game is 90 fps

#

even if you can bear with ~200p resolution and 30 fps

#

its absolutely objective you should just go play on your phone at that point

torpid umbra
#

Oh okay

bitter surge
#

Yes, sako explained it perfectly. To be honest Rec Room on quest 2 it like lags. Like I seriously wouldn't see a already optimized Rec Center barley running near full fps in a public lobby. So I seriously wouldn't see Crescendo happening any time soon. I mean maybe if they'd consider it with the Quest 3 coming later this year which I kind of doubt. It'll take them a good amount of time to optimize the entire quest to even work. For example Bonelabs. The whole game had to be optimized and probably took the devs like AWHILE to do that. So if Rec Room was up for it same things go for Crescendo.

bitter surge
#

Look there is a way to play crescendo with only a quest 2 but every 1 minute you get kicked

Because rec room devs are lazy as shit. If isle can be on quest 2 why can’t crescendo be?

zealous swan
#

what about you stop constantly malding and go buy a pc

bitter surge
brazen path
dark jay
#

but then wouldn't that also increase the price of the quest 2 even more

#

it would end up at 500 dollars

#

and I'm sure that people would complain about such a price

wraith hare
#

They need to optimize it for quest 2 but they are too lazy

dark jay
#

I'm pretty sure the xr elite is 1000 dollars too so you can't expect the quest 2 to really beat the xr elite either

dark jay
#

you're not wrong though

brazen path
#

Yea

dark jay
#

rr devs are lazy

#

all they want money and that's just how life these days are

#

everyone just wants money

brazen path
#

All the RRO’s are made with unity and crescendo has the same graphics as Isle of the lost skulls so why can’t crescendo be on quest?

dark jay
#

Even with no optimization lots of people still play the game so they don't have to focus on that

#

they focus on making cool new accessories

brazen path
#

This is a big lie

dark jay
brazen path
#

They make a “limited” item that is 5,000 tokens which is 10 dollars and then in a month they re-release it in some stupid “S” shop but this time it’s double the price

brazen path

As well as the white pumpkin set

#

Took them 4 months to remove candy apples from the store too

#

They lazy as shit

dark jay
#

well hey they're trying

brazen path
#

I know but they used to make a lot of RRO’s a year

dark jay
#

they don't have many employees

brazen path
#

Yeah I know but it’s not really that hard too, I’m not bashing them, I’m bashing the owners who are all in for the money and only the money

dark jay
#

like i said before that's all people and companies want

#

think fortnite

#

roblox

#

many other games

#

all they want is money

#

but at the very least recroom isn't that money hungry and give away their in game currency for free by playing their game

zealous swan
#

i literally swear these guys are gonna mald about how a high powered headset costs more than 300 dollars if one ever comes out

#

they wont bother trying to find out why is it expensive

#

all theyll do is cry 24/7

brazen path
#

As well as the xr

#

And I know what the prices are

zealous swan
brazen path
zealous swan
#

doesn’t change the fact that it’s not longer worth 1k

#

index is one of the first consumer level headsets

#

it’s simply unreasonable to still sell for 1k in this generation

#

where the headset market is slowly getting refined and priced getting cheaper

stable niche
# zealous swan index is like the least reasonably priced headset as of this year lmfao

I'm coing up in 2 years of having an index i can proudly say 1k is definitely worth it. Overall it is still the best headset overall for it price, it isn't the best headset alone though, people may prefer others like the high fedlity of the hp reverb g2 but with everything else it comes with still makes it on top for it's price for example: htc vive pro 2 full kit $1800cad, index full fit $1300cad not only is it cheeper but I'd argue you get more for your money.

zealous swan

“you get more for your money”
stares at quest 2

zealous swan

won’t justify the fact I can get 3 quest 2s for the price of 1 index

#

if you want bad tracking and video compression artifacts be my guest

dark jay
#

well the quest doesn't that have bad tracking

#

I mean compared to index level quality tracking it's kind of bad yeah

#

but it's not bad bad

#

it's still very playable tracking

#

but you're not wrong about the video compression

#

at the same time you've gotta think about the people who don't care about video compression it's not like all quest and index users make videos or record their gameplay

#

video compression doesn't matter to most

#

instead of shitting on the "worst" features like video compression and tracking especially it's better just to say "if you want games close to the lowest quality or less triple A games" whatever triple A games are in the vr side of things

stable niche
dark jay
#

oh

#

yeah

#

but you can change that

stable niche
#

the tracking in my experiences wasn't the greatest, it is playable and usable for most games but, there are some games like beatsaber where it matters most and it isn't great

They said its not gonna go anywhere

I would rather play games then look at my shitty life with extra stats

Id rather play as a walking go pro that goes to hell because it feeds on blood

i hate to say it

#

idk

but they definitely are

#

pcvr is too expensive for most people

dark jay
zealous swan

you need a good pc AND a good headset for acceptable performance

one day pcvr will no longer be relevant

that's what the google cardboard is for right?

#

being a good headset

#

Or a pcvr

zealous swan
#

i do have access to relatively decent quality pcvr

bitter surge
#

Ok

zealous swan
#

why’d you ask that

bitter surge
#

Because you sounded like one of those people who doesnt have a pc or pcvr

zealous swan
#

elaborate

bitter surge
#

if the quest 2 can handle bonelab without much lag

#

then it can handle crescendo

fathom dirge
#

yes, but Rec Room is unoptimized

bitter surge
#

it is barely optimized

fathom dirge
#

exactly

bitter surge
#

because they rarely fix their fucking game💀

bitter surge
bitter surge
#

How can quest can

#

It depends on the quality

#

But if rec room actually fixes their fucking game

#

Then it will be better

#

But even then a high quality pc shouldnt be chugging along with high graphics on

bitter surge
#

my radeon 580 can even run cresendo on high graphics its not even high quality

torpid umbra
#

I need an explanation still.
Why? Why is Crescendo not able to work on the Quest 2? We have every single other quest
and the one quest we don’t have on the quest 2 is crescendo? Why?

rain flint
#

2 Things. 1. The Graphics are too high for it, 2. The Developers think it’s a bad idea.

meager tartan
#

wait a few months

rain flint
bitter surge
#

Because they stated not devoting any more manhours to old RRO’s and instead work on stuff that is supported on every platform. Anyone still screaming Quest can’t handle Crescendo should be asking themselves if they have any idea what they’re talking about.

bitter surge
#

Rec Room can barely run on anything

Now, if you ask the coach AI about crescendo on quest two, she says it’s more likely to come on quest to the lock. It will come in a future update because apparently developers have been trying their hardest to bring it to quest two and they might get it running

bitter anvil
#

Limited hardware specifications

#

Limited Random access memory, Graphics processing unit speed, central processing unit, internet storage space, potential injuries because of the whip, Rec Room's E-CPU speed, and Network heat

finite badge
#

It’s called optimization

bitter surge
#

And why is there no optimization?

finite badge
#

Cuz it can’t run?

#

It was explained to you several times

bitter surge
#

Then add optimization.

finite badge
#

You can’t

#

Because the quest 2 can’t handle it

bitter surge
#

Quest 2 can handle optimization though.

finite badge
#

They have to get rid of things for it to work

finite badge
#

Then recreate it with RRS

On quest 2

#

I don't have RRS.

#

The quest 2

#

The quest 2 has a graphics card too

#

It’s meant to handle some things

But RecRoom optimization is too much

The only reason it runs on Quest 2 is because how much worst everything is.

Yes.

You don’t

bitter surge
#

Here's the funny thing, I do.

finite badge
#

A funny thing I’m not laughing at

#

😐

#

Anybody in the game will tell you it’s because of optimization issues

bitter surge
#

Optimization shouldn't be too much for stuff to not handle, if the optimization causes lag, then that optimization is poorly done.

finite badge
#

That’s what we’re all sayin

#

That’s why it can’t run

#

Terrible

#

😱

bitter surge
#

Have you played PCVR, or screenmode?

#

Before you ask what the point of that is Il get to that.

finite badge
#

I played both, I used my friends PC when he got it (He called me over to link it for him), I play on Screen mode all the time

bitter surge
#

Go into paintball with an alt, or public game, grab the flag, what the flag does would likely be too much for quest 2 even with optimization, but the stuff like the holes on red team in spillway are possible on Quest 2. The clothing on Quest 2 has no cloth textures, but it would be able to run them if Rec Room had better optimization. All the textures would be able to be similar to PCVR and screenmode, but wouldn't be 100% the same, Quest 2 would likely still need new graphics, but the low setting for graphics would be similar.

finite badge
#

The flag doesn’t even move on quest 2 and clothes do have textures

bitter surge
#

I know.

#

That's what I said.

finite badge
#

So ion know what you’re talking about

bitter surge
#

If the optimization was good that would be possible, the flag would be able to move, probably not as much, but still would have the ability to move.

finite badge
#

Also you know RecRoom was created on unity right

bitter surge
#

Yes.

finite badge
#

And other games were made on OTHER Softwares?

bitter surge
#

Yes.

finite badge
#

Okay good

#

Now create it

bitter surge
#

Create what?

finite badge
#

Redo RecRoom

bitter surge
#

I still need to learn unity, I recently swapped from Unreal engine.

finite badge
#

It’s the same thing

#

Code is the same on both softwares

bitter surge
#

No, different coding language, very different layout.

finite badge
#

Nothing changes

bitter surge
#

C++, and C# are different.

finite badge
#

Language is the same the coding isn’t

#

Oops

#

I meant the layout isn’t

bitter surge
#

Layout isn't the same.

finite badge
#

That’s what I just said

bitter surge
#

Oops.

#

Coding language isn't the same though.

finite badge
#

It is

bitter surge
#

Unreal engine uses C++, Unity uses C#.

#

I also need to learn the layout.

finite badge
#

I think this is a very accurate video 😎

bitter surge
#

Took too long to crash.

#

Had more than twenty FPS.

#

Expecting twenty would be generous.

finite badge
#

This is a joke if it was available It’d be much worse

bitter surge
#

Yep.

#

The pitchfork they flung would've stayed they, or not go far due to poor hand collision on Quest 2.

bitter surge
#

Would've agreed if I read it correctly.

meager tartan
#

rec rooms just too lazy to enable the flag physics on the quest 2 for whatever reason

finite badge
#

Y’all know nothing đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž

meager tartan
#

ok

#

explain why then

finite badge
#

To allow the game to run with better performance for all platforms so it won’t lag, they don’t want the game to lag

#

And also you can’t say RecRoom devs are lazy that’s 1 disrespectful and 2 it’s not true

#

They have lives of their own

#

Jobs

#

And better priorities

meager tartan
#

so the flag can't move on the quest 2 or it'll lag

finite badge
#

I’m saying they also did it to other things because then it’ll be a vulnerability

#

Like the textures or the shaders

meager tartan
#

crescendo can run on the quest 2

#

they just don't have the time to work on optimizing it

bitter surge
#

Think of it as how Quest 2 cant see posters or candles on the rec center, they just can't optimize it fully

finite badge
#

Gribbly even said it in QnA and a AMA

meager tartan
#

when

#

show me

finite badge
#

Don’t remember which one but he said it

#

I was watching the premier

meager tartan
#

i'm pretty sure he didn't just say no

He did

#

I do remember he said something about soccer

Along with it

meager tartan

how long ago was this

finite badge

Because somebody asked and he responded

finite badge
bitter surge
finite badge
#

That’s what he related it too

#

I’m not sure which ama it was

bitter surge
#

Lets just get this cleared

meager tartan
#

he probably just got tired about people asking for it

bitter surge
#

If Rec Room can barely run on pc

#

Crescendo aint working for q2

#

He also said us not them

finite badge
#

Can’t recreate quest with RRS

#

You can’t even do the old RecCenters

bitter surge
#

We can port crescendo, not them

So that means no s+ items

None of yall have the knowledge of how hard it is too port stuff in game development

bitter surge
finite badge
#

SOME of them have REAL jobs

#

And priorities

bitter surge
#

Game development is a real job.

#

They even have an office.

What do they do at that office

Some of y’all need to get a grip

#

The children who complain the most about Crescendo on quest 2 would also probably complain about the whip requiring energy.

#

While everything else takes a lot less energy.

meager tartan
bitter surge
#

Rec Room also already drains battery on Quest 2, Crescendo would likely drain even more battery. So there is a chance you couldn't comeplete a run if you have the average time of fifty-five minutes, or you won't be able to do two unless you are plugged in.

meager tartan
#

even on isle

#

maybe rec royale but i never play that since it's literally a unplayable 5 fps mess

bitter surge
#

For me it seems games like Bonelab tke less battery.

meager tartan
#

not for me

bitter surge
#

Even if Crescendo didn't drain battery it could theoretically cause the headset to heat up and have to shutdown before overheating too much. I doubt that would happen, but theoretically that could happen.

meager tartan
#

whatever

#

makes burning burg more immersive

bitter surge
#

Well, if this were the case it would probably start getting bad around the second miniboss. But the probabilty of it heating up enough to shut down is low.

#

Crescendo also looks amazing with the lighting, amazing atmosphere, but with how lighting is for Quest 2 Rec Room the atmospere won't be as good, which isn't too important, but still can be important in Crescendo.

Let me make a quick picture.

#

I need to sign into Discord on what I drew it in.

bitter surge
# meager tartan so what's the main problem about the gates

Sorry it's a mess, but for simplicity reasons lets pretend every box is the same size, the brown is a gate. All of one level is loaded at the same time, every box is a different part, if the boxes were empty, but they'll have props so more polygons, and then enemies so even more polygons, sure the first levels might run decent, but the garden of sorrow usually lags and probably won't run well.

meager tartan

bitter surge
#

Skulls areas like the jungle and the village are pretty big open areas. I really don’t see how Crescendo is more complex graphically. Everyone says it is, but it’s really not.

meager tartan
#

garden of sorrow is honestly the main issue

bitter surge
#

I have never had frame drops in the cave, garden of sorrow is often laggy.

meager tartan
#

the cave in isle mostly is split into smaller rooms and doesn't have that much detail as garden of sorrow

I think the issue in the garden is the trees not the fog tbh

Can't get rid of the trees it'd be unfair to PCVR.

yeah bonelab took very long due to the game going through very high optimization for it to run at high frames on oculus quest 2 while also making the game look sort of high quality with a limit

#

in terms of quest 2 yall gotta admit it does look pretty good for mobile hardware

#

but recroom on the other hand is barely optimized

#

which is mainly the reason why my quest 2 gpu is on it's knees

#

in my dorm gpu utilization is 99

#

AND IT'S JUST SIMPLY A DORMROOM

#

Strangly enough rro's run much better than a dorm

#

but at the same time it may make sense since people would most likely spend more time in a rro so rro's are probably more optimized

Does anyone know what type of computer I can run VR on? Like USB-C attached to the computer and VR. Cause my computer isn’t strong enough to do so, so I’m just wondering which one I would need to do that.

Yes.

dark jay

i've done that but my game would crash more often so I don't do it anymore

bitter surge

Did you put it back to defualt?

it's probably cause I'm not using sidequest but something that I would say is probably better

Then try setting it to Q1 settings.

Not the GPU though.

dark jay
#

I'm just saying that my gpu is on it's knees I didn't say that performance is that bad

#

also emerald wanna correct you on overclocking

#

it isn't possible trust

#

it may seem like it due to being able to change the levels but just to let you know developers could choose the level that would be used for the game by default

there is a dynamic level option that most devs use cause it changes the levels based on what's happening in front of you and how much power it needs for that

I am going with the best AMD RX 6000 series GPU

so I’ll have crescendo and everything

zealous swan
#

it’d be ignorant to call it an easy 3d game

#

roblox games are hardly optimised to their very last bit, unlike most modern games

#

and that’s because all roblox games are created by users
users don’t have the time to spend hours just so 100 users can get 2 more fps

#

that aside, roblox is more cpu demanding than gpu, so an easy 3d term probably isn’t the best way to call it

And if you have ever heard of SadleyitsBradley, he has some good info on headsets

Also Valve did say that they have big plans for VR soon, this was recently, so they may be hinting at a new headset

no they are making a new vr headset which may be more affordable

bitter surge

And the patents hint at a standalone headsets

But Valve is planning stuff for VR

We know about the headset, but what about the games

#

pcvr games?

bitter surge
#

We gonna get Half Life Alyx 2 and then wait eternity for 3

zealous swan
#

sure it may be better than a quest 2

#

but valve isn’t full of einsteins
they can’t compress a pcvr capable computer inside a standalone headset

#

while making it not too heavy

zealous swan
#

steam deck isn’t pcvr capable

not even close

do you have anything else to say

now i feel bad after you said that

keep going

bitter surge

The Index isnt worth it anymore

#

Valve needs to make a new headset

zealous swan
#

not news

#

index fell off in this generation of headsets

#

index has its place as the first generation of headsets, but its the era of standalones now

#

valve might make a more modern headset, possibly standalone

#

but they most likely wont have the technological breakthrough required to fit a pc inside a small headset

bitter surge
#

What did Valve mean when they said “we have big things planned for VR”

zealous swan
#

possibly another headset, as i mentioned, modern ones

bitter surge
#

I mean we know about the headset already

zealous swan
#

but its almost certain it wont be as revolutional as quest 2

But barely anything about it, and only through the patents

or just that theyre developing portal vr kekw

The headset is coming out

But thats it, what other big things are they doing

valve is good at keeping secrets

perhaps time is the only answer

honestly i hope you don't need to upgrade to quest 3 as soon as it comes out otherwise i'd be upset, my headset battery is so degraded so i'm wanting to upgrade instead of just getting it fixed or replaced, also my controllers used to have drift (especially my right one, my left one only tried stopping me from going forwards it didn't try making me go backwards) but ever since my headset battery degraded to the point where 50 minutes is the most amount of time i can play the drift just disappeared from my controllers, so yeah upgrading would be good, especially when i actually can upgrade, i just hope it has better battery life and graphics and stuff than the quest 2, the quest 1 had a really good battery if you care about playing on it, i once played on my quest 1 for 5 hours (i think 7 but it's either 5 hours or 7 hours) without taking a break, other than having to plug it back in, and i wonder if there'll be any new buttons on the controller, if they made a drift prevention system in it than people would love it even more

#

but i doubt they'd do that even tho people would be more willing to buy it if it had that, also imagine if as soon as the quest 3 comes out rec room stops supporting quest 2 like they did with quest 1, as if people had enough time to upgrade, that would suck considering the quest 1 experience on rec room
