Play Area. Grrr.

Is there a definitive way of preventing Oculus S from nannying me? Every so often and usually at inconvenient moments, it butts in with 'Play area not detected'. I DO NOT NEED A PLAY AREA! I sit down...always. I've 'disabled' what I can but the darned thing is frightened I might sue it.

There, that's better. :biggrin:

If you press the Oculus/Xbox button and on the bottom middle you can choose Guardian Settings and disable the grid.

I think this happens when its internal map of the play area is different from the actual current area, so it requests a refresh. This can happen if the lighting changes significantly, of if objects in the area are moved enough since the last scan to trigger it.

You don't necessarily have to do a full boundary scan, but it will require you to at least confirm the distance to the floor.

Thank you gents. I confess, it doesn't happen often, but when it does...

Maybe in the past but not now. There is no disabling the grid. This is a Rift S if that make a difference. Just be sure I changed from the Beta setup back to normal. No change.

I'll live. :biggrin:

I've got the older standard Rift. Sorry about that. Health and safety brigade again.

I'm pretty sure you can disable the grid in the Rift S, unless it's a very recent change.

Point me to it, if you'd be so kind. 'cos I sure as hell can't find it!

You definitely can disable the grid Ron but unfortunately I can't remember how. It is something I just do but my brain can't recall exactly. I'll take a look on mine.

Pretty sure press the oculus button and in there is something about play area boundary and walls. You will have to set it up properly first though. Just make a play area first to keep it quiet!

I'd forgotten about this thread (like a lot of things lately) but I haven't been bugged by Nanny for a long time. My quickly assembled theory is not to touch your headset until the sim you want to use is running. It's almost as if it knows you'll be sitting down if a flight sim is loaded. That's all I got. :smile:
