Meta Launch Issues
We are getting reports of launch issues for Meta Quest users after the release of Blokhaven. Here are some solutions that have proven helpful for some affected players:
- Switch from a stationary boundary to a roomscale one and then try launching the app
- Uninstall WMG > Restart Headset > Install WMG > Restart Headset > Launch WMG
- If the above doesn't work, then a factory reset is a last resort
PICO Blokhaven Release - DELAYED
Unfortunately, the PICO update that includes our new Cosmetic Pack changes and the new course Blokhaven has been delayed. Our team is working with PICO to roll that out ASAP.
Friends System - PSVR2 Issues
If you are experiencing any issues with the friend system, please try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Test Network Connection: Navigate to Settings > Network > Connection Status on your PS5 console to ensure you are actively signed in.
- Manage Privacy Settings: Press the PS button on your controller, select your profile, and click Online Status to adjust your availability to Appear Offline, Busy, or Online.
Meta Stick Drift:
We've seen an uptick in hardware issues for older controllers, where players find themselves having "stick drift" or moving in-game without touching the thumbstick. This same hardware issue can also lead to a "flickering" where the putter moves between a left/right hand as the game determines which controller to use.
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Take the battery out of the uncooperative controller and use the opposite controller. If you try this path out, we recommend utilizing our "Invert Hands" settings option (listed on the 'Putter' tab of the settings), which will align you to the appropriate side. (If you're a righty using a left-handed controller, you'll still align on the right side.)
- On the Hardware level, you can calibrate your controller to help refine your movement.
- Navigate Settings > Devices > Controllers > Thumbstick Range and Dead Zone. Go through the steps provided at this screen to begin calibration. Recalibrating your controller can help address drifting issues on a larger level.
Bad Meta Quest Download
Users see: 3 flashing dots on black screen, left hanging on one of the MC logo screens.
This is likely a bad download of our game. This is a fairly common bug for Quest devices, and an uninstall/reinstall of the Walkabout application should resolve the issue. Note:
- We use an external Cloud Save sync on our player data, which means your in-game history will not be lost upon an uninstall/reinstall.
- Players will not need to repurchase Walkabout to reinstall it on their device.
Known Meta OS Bug
Issue: Meta reintroduced the bug in the Quest that causes idle controllers outside the guardian boundary to display the guardian grid. People had to resort to either drawing a little cut out in the guardian to keep the controller in, or taking the battery out of a controller.
Workaround: There is a way in the Quest settings to remap the functions of the Oculus button on the right controller to the button on the left. It's under Settings-->Devices⟶ Controller the toggle will be the 4th one down to switch the Oculus button and the Menu button
