Bug #1526

High CPU Usage and Performance Drop Post-Update on Quest 3

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	marco.g17 on August 20, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	Forefront - v5.0.290

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play the game for a decent amount of time.
2. Notice result in drop in performance, stutters, CPU lag.

Explanation

Performance at an all time low.

Before forefront 5.0 we've had a lot of memory usage issues, memory was often full but it wasn't as big of a deal during gameplay, rather than forefront stuttering it's Meta's UI that stutters. Me and my friends all have this problem on our Quest 3.

But with the release of this update, I've noticed using OVR metrics my RAM performance is still the same, but now even CPU usage has taken a turn for the worse. CPU usage is at an all time high with peaks reaching a full minute of 100% usage (at the start of any match on any map). The same issue applies to all my friends.
