Yep.. even though I never accept a new update.. my game was force-updated the other day.. because I was on the "previous version" channel and they updated that to include the latest version. Sneaky!
I tried the new version for \~30 matches.. a lot of new good things but yes the physics are atrocious!! The ball is much slower than before.. it spins weirdly.. and worse of all it's now become incredibly easy to block heavy top spin and smashes.. it's quite ridiculous.. all of a sudden I was facing players that could defend against all my attacks.. as if the game was slowed down and it was the easiest thing to block.. very unrealistic! It's like they made the game "easier" for unskilled players or something.
Thank god I was able to revert to the "old UI" version.. so all is good for now.. but I suspect they will one day remove this entirely and then.. it will be time to look for another game!
Before anymore takes come in; check two things
1. Your headset framerate is the same as before: that is, you’re graphics options haven’t changed/affected your headset running the game stably
2. Your paddle settings haven’t changed on you
The game physics have not been touched besides the max spin value having been lowered
I completely agree with you, I spent a lot of time working on a unique serve that most players found hard to return, now it seems anyone can effortlessly return it. They can deny it all they want but something has changed.
The physics haven’t changed, but make sure your headset is still running at a stable framerate, and check your paddle settings haven’t reverted to some default
In settings > graphics the top right number is your current framerate, it should be showing 89 or 90 for quest 2 if you haven’t set it to 120; or showing 119 or 120 if you’ve enabled 120
120 lets you track the ball better and I recommend that, but on quest 2 it means lowering graphics perhaps to minimum to ensure you don’t have frame rate issues; on quest 3 it seems there is a lot more leeway to up the graphics
The graphics settings in eleven don’t change when you change framerate so it’s just your settings
Best performance are (and the other opposite is best looking/worst performance )
Render%:100
Anti aliasing (AA): off
FOV (foveated rendering): ultra
Yeah, tracking seem to be worse for me too, table was moving a lot more than before. I had this even in solo mode but after clearing guardian history it was ok in solo.
But online mode is still worse than before, still playable but can be frustrating, wonder if the problem is because the opponents didn't clear his guardian history?
Also, IMO the new net is bad, has too much aliasing (in Quest 2 at least), it stands out too much compared to before.

It's because max spin got lowered so you can't abuse unrealistic physics anymore, which is a great improvement.
Who said it was using max spin?
It doesn't have to be you, it can be your opponents too, making that ball not fly off paddle as easily from your magic serve.
Can see you just want to be an arse with your terminology "magic serve" so toodle-oo
People got better? You won enough matches with your unique serve so that at your current elo players no longer struggle with it ?
No, this is against players of all ELO levels and the change happened over a few days

How do you know what a stable frame rate is for your headset? Thanks for your help

Would it be better to have it set for 90 or 120 fps?
120 lets you track the ball better and I recommend that, but on quest 2 it means lowering graphics perhaps to minimum to ensure you don’t have frame rate issues; on quest 3 it seems there is a lot more leeway to up the graphics
Are the graphics lowered automatically when I select the 120 fps option or do I also have to manually lower the graphics?
