UPDATE: The problem was resolved round 8:40am PT. This text has been up to date to mirror this.
Meta’s servers weren’t working appropriately earlier right this moment, and the problem briefly rendered all Quest headsets unusable.
Fb, Instagram, Threads, and the Quest platform had been inaccessible from roughly 7:30am PT. Making an attempt to entry them resulted in a login error.
All of our Quest 3 and Quest 2 headsets, which had been linked to Wi-Fi and on standby, confirmed a ‘One thing went flawed’ display stopping the primary system interface from showing, that means no apps may very well be launched. UploadVR heard from dozens of different individuals who skilled the identical problem.
Quest headsets do not require an always-online connection, and nonetheless proceed to supply primary performance reminiscent of taking part in singleplayer video games, even on a community the place Meta’s servers are inaccessible. So what on earth occurred right here?
Given the truth that Fb, Instagram, and Threads logged everybody out, evidently both Meta’s server issued a signout command to all apps and units or a client-side safety examine thought the login token is not safe. Whatever the trigger, Quest headsets signed their customers out.
This is not the primary time VR customers woke as much as discover their headset unusable because of a software program problem. Again in 2018 each Oculus Rift stopped working because of an expired certificates. That downside took Meta (then Fb) greater than 12 hours to repair, whereas this problem was resolved in simply over one hour.
