Meta is investigating reports of tracking issues blighting its Quest 3 VR headset following user complaints that controller tracking performance is \u201cmuch worse than the Quest 2\u201d in some games. Over on the Meta community forums, user NotDream<\/a> flagged issues with tracking performance on the Quest 3 controllers while playing Gorilla Tag<\/em> (a VR game that requires users to run, jump, and climb by moving their arms around) claiming that they \u201close tracking during medium-fast to fast hand movement\u201d such as throwing or catching a ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThis is a big issue for games\/activities involving fast-paced hand movement as it\u2019s not nearly as reliable as the Quest 2 controller tracking performance,\u201d said NotDream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Other forum members in the same thread claim to have encountered similar tracking issues across other VR titles like Beatsaber<\/em>, Supernatura<\/em>l, and Tennis Esports<\/em>. One comment from a game developer (known as carrotstien) for Eleven Table Tennis<\/em><\/a> claims the issues stem from the LED arrangement on the controller. \u201cOh how I wish the developers of sports games were invited to the table when discussing controller design,\u201d said carrotstien, adding that \u201cthere are users which are simply sticking with their quest2 headsets and returning their quest3s because of the tracking issues.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI wish the developers of sports games were invited to the table when discussing controller design\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In response to NotDream\u2019s post, Meta Quest Support said that the team is actively investigating tracking issues<\/a> and is working to improve performance, especially for \u201ccompetitive players\u201d across titles like Gorilla Tag<\/em>, Supernatural<\/em>, IB Cricket<\/em>, and Eleven Table Tennis<\/em>. Some of these improvements are expected to roll out in upcoming releases. We have reached out to Meta for more information on what\u2019s causing the tracking issues and to clarify when a fix will be released.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
