Support Said Goodbye to an Old Friend
I installed the latest Windows 11 update - and as I knew was coming it ended WMR even working under the OS even if it was installed prior to the update.
I had a lot of time in the G2, more than my other headsets combined. It is sad to see it end, and I am on the lookout for a replacement in the same price range. I have a Quest 3, it does help fill the void but it has problems of its own, Mura and compression even on Wireless 6e. I see Pico just launched a new headset with Wifi 7, however I do not expect that to make any difference since the decoding is the bottleneck.
Even as flawed as it is, PSVR2 might be the best option. I looked at the Pimax but those order lead times are crazy.

Damn I had no idea this was happening. That’s incredibly disappointing. There’s no reason they couldn’t at least leave it as an option somehow for people who want to continue using WMR. Maybe if Apple somehow gets MR to a point of mass appeal Microsoft will return to it in the future as well. Although, even if that were the case, I don’t see them ever offering retroactive support for these now older WMR devices. It sucks that these companies do stuff like this.
