while playing poker vr, the go disconnected and displayed the message "your headset is getting hot..." . When I checked the front, it was hot like boiling water. Has anyone had this issue?90ojua6usgiy.jpg

i been having my oculus go start heating up realy fast

Avoid using the charger (or external battery pack) if your Go is not at least 80-90% charged already.  If it is lower and you try to charge it and use it at the same time it will get pretty warm, maybe hot.  This is because you are using the battery plus trying to charge it at the same time.

Also, avoid using it standalone below ~25% charged because the battery chemistry then starts to heat up quite a bit as it becomes more discharged.

Maybe Google Li-ion batteries for a better explanation.

I have had my Go since the beginning and it still works great!

I have the same issue. Playing Poker VR, original Oculus Go heats up in less than half and hour, extremely hot face plate! What should I do?
