Unable to download or install a bunch of GearVR games

Hello!

 

I have been trying to download all my games over the past few months, just to make sure I have access to everything I have purchased, and I found a ton of games that won't download or install any more.  I've tried on multiple networks and on a couple different phones and the following titles simply won't download and install.  I know this is not a phone issue (there is plenty of space, a factory reset changes nothing).  All of the following titles download partially and then simply fail.  I realize that there was a similar topic in December of last year and we were assured that the problem was being worked on and should be fixed by now, but this isn't the case.  Please assist.

 

(Some of these titles are free, some are paid, none of them fully download or install)

This has nothing to do with Samsung at all.  The software is Oculus, the servers the files are being downloaded from are Oculus.  This isn't an installation issue on the phone, it's the inability to download the files used to install the software.  You can find other complaints about this starting in at least December 2021 on this forum as well as "resolutions" that haven't yet worked.  Please look more into this issue.

I would like to direct you to https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Samsung-Gear-VR/Downloading/m-p/930409 for more info.  Specifically, the last response from OculusSupport, as follows:

 

Greetings! We understand some people are still experiencing issues downloading apps to their devices. We know how this can be frustrating as it interferes with your VR experience. We want to assure you, this issue is currently being taken care of by our team of engineers.

 

Again, this doesn't seem to be a Samsung issue.  The files are coming from https://securecdn.oculus.com/ (according to watching what the app is trying to download) so it seems to be an Oculus/Meta issue, not a Samsung issue.  The app, in fact, still says to go to Oculus for help, not Samsung.  The downloads begin as normal but then cut off at the same percentage every time.  This doesn't happen on every download, only (so far that I've found) the ones I listed in my original message.  So, this would seem to be an issue with the files themselves (maybe corruption?  bad backups?  something) not something with the Oculus software.  Thanks.

Can you send me the file of angest

yea its definitely corupted data on their server or server itself has some issues i can confirm its defo oculus server and not samsung related.... 

This problem is also true for oculus go as most of the games work on gear vr too. What annoys me is that it affects paid for games. If you cant download a game it shouldnt be advertised on the store and meta should not be taking money for something they cant give you
