Common questions
The arena or garage is in the wrong place, or too high or low. Recenter your view in any of these ways:
- choose RECENTER VIEW in the garage menu or on the Settings page;
- click the right thumbstick in the garage;
- hold the right thumbstick for one second during a fight.
The system recenter (hold the Meta button) works too.
Can I play sitting down? Yes. Sit down, then recenter. MECHLAB lowers the ringside world to your eye height, and the garage bench follows it. The game never moves your viewpoint.
Does my Demo progress carry over to the full game? No. The Demo is a separate app with its own saves.
How do I play online? Online 1 vs 1 is in the full game only.
- LAN: both headsets on the same Wi-Fi. One player picks LAN HOST, and the other types the IP address shown on the host's room card. UDP port 7788 must be allowed on the network.
- Internet: internet rooms and quick match are coming in an update.
Is there voice or text chat? No. Online matches have no voice or text chat, and pilot names are generated by the game.
The game says it couldn't verify my licence. Make sure you're signed in to the Meta account that owns MECHLAB, that you installed it from the Meta Horizon Store, and that the headset has been online recently. Then restart the app.
How do I delete my data? Uninstall the game or clear its app data; saves live only on your headset. For anything related to online play, see the privacy policy or email collin.schreyer@gmail.com.
