Crossplay is now available in our Open Beta for Echo VR on Quest!

Updates

4v4 Public Echo Arena Matches

Following testing a little over a month ago and feedback we received from the community, public Echo Arena matches will now be 4v4 instead of 3v3. By adding in another player to each team, we believe there will be more opportunities for players to execute different plays, increase the amount of time they all have with the disc, and more.

General Updates

• Max Lobby size is now 10.
• Max party size is now 10.
• Public Arena back-fill timer has been updated so players will now join matches 1 minute and 45 seconds before it ends.
• OCE servers are now live.

Known Issues

Quest

The level geo will disappear while in the lobby or arena, leaving the player on a black screen.

• Temp fix — Try hitting the power button to place the headset into sleep mode and then hitting it again to wake it up. (Should allow you to continue playing)
• Alt temp fix — Try powering the headset all the way down and then restoring it.

The game crashes when closing.

• Temp fix — The game will run slow and eventually crash if an excessive amount of browser tabs are opened while the app is running
• Alt temp fix — It is recommended for the time being to just have as few things as possible running when playing Echo VR on Quest.

Player may encounter instability issues.

• Note — We recommend disabling Oculus experimental beta features, since they may cause a number of instability issues.

Rift

The trigger for ordnance moves farther away from hands after teleporting on Fission matches.
