Stuck on the joining screen forever. (Standalone quest)

Hi, I use a standalone meta quest pro and have never had this problem until now. I open up VrChat and it loads me into my account and everything, even though that takes awhile too which isn’t normal, and then i get to the screen with your home world picture and the ‘joining’ bubble which goes on for seemingly forever (i sat there for like thirty minutes with the headset on while trying to fix it myself and nothing). I’ve tried clearing the vrc data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, restarting my oculus, manually powering off the oculus and powering it back on, messing around in the permissions settings, and disconnecting form the wifi and reconnecting. I genuinely don’t know what else to do other than factory reset this expensive ass paper weight of a headset, which is a pain in the balls and i don’t see how it would help- suggestions?

I am SO glad I’ve found another person that’s encountering the same issues as I (minus Headsets I’m an Oculus 2 user). Someone replied to my problem a while ago, and it was all of the things you’ve done. Unfortunately, like you, none of them worked.

So I’ll give you a heads up, I don’t think Factory Resetting would work. I’ve tried and nothing changed, but feel free to try if you wish. Maybe it’ll work for you? As for me, I just waited for the thing to fix itself. It’s one of the only other options to do if none of them is working in your favor.

(By the way, I’m also assuming your Oculus Pro’s having weird loading times on the main menu and other things? Mine’s loading slow trying to open up any apps and also is showing a purple avatar in the mirror instead of my own)

THIS! I’m so glad someone finally responded! And you assumed correct, other loading screens like the one before and after the joining screen (like the one where you’re just in the blue void) are also slow and sometimes get stuck completely, i got one game to boot up in the meantime but now nothing is working again! I’ll try waiting it out. Thanks!
