2023-11-29
Avast ye! Aye, some o' these trinkets be failin' to charge the Meta Quest 3 right, but fear not, mateys! The latest upgrades be sailin' in soon to fix this cursed problem.
In a whimsical 17th-century pirate language, I be tellin' ye that if ye be ownin' a Meta Quest 3 and be thinkin' o' buyin' the Elite Strap with Battery, ye better hold yer horses! Meta be haltin' the sales o' this accessory fer now, as they be investigatin' issues with device chargin'.This here Elite Strap add-on be offerin' a more comfortable fit and be easier to adjust, and ye can even get it with a battery pack fer longer gamblin' sessions. But alas, it be this latter version that be gettin' the axe, as reported by Road to VR.
And this here problem didn't just come outta nowhere, matey! Complaints 'bout reliability issues be makin' their way through the grapevine fer weeks now. Users be reportin' that after a brief grace period, the strap be stoppin' the chargin' o' the Meta Quest 3 completely.
But fear not, lads and lasses! Meta be workin' on a new version o' the Elite Strap with Battery that won't have this flaw. Although, this ain't the first time such woes be plaguin' Meta's accessories – the straps fer the Meta Quest 2 had their fair share o' problems too.
Now, what can ye do if ye be a Meta Quest 3 owner? Well, the first step be clearly avoidin' the purchase o' the Elite Strap with Battery. But fear not, mateys, as third-party retailers still be sellin' these straps, at least fer the time bein'.
If ye already got yerself a faulty one, ye can try returnin' it to Meta fer a replacement. But be warned, as Meta admits that this "may not necessarily resolve the problem." It be a bit hit and miss, me hearties!
This ain't a good look fer an accessory that be costin' a hefty $130! But at least Meta be workin' on it, ye see. There be an issue with the firmware on certain units, so we be hopin' that new and improved versions o' the strap be comin' out soon. Meta ain't given a time frame, but they be claimin' that these straps be available "as soon as possible."
