These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of August 8th, 2022.

Meta Accounts

We’ll begin rolling out a new Meta account structure in August 2022 that gives people more flexibility and control in VR. You’ll no longer be required to log into your Meta VR devices with a Facebook account. This also means:

We’re also evolving your Oculus profile to a new Meta Horizon profile, which you can customize as you see fit.
Your “Friends” will now become “Followers,” similar to Instagram’s existing model.
You’ll have the option to add your Facebook and/or Instagram account to the same Accounts Center as your Meta account, which unlocks connected experiences in VR.
We’re rolling out new controls to help you more easily manage your privacy settings.

Meta Quest Guide

We are rolling out the Meta Quest Guide. Now users can:

Watch device and feature tutorials
Check out what's new in our latest Meta Quest software release notes
Find answers to top questions and get troubleshooting tips to fix problems

Note, this will be rolling out to users gradually over time.

hello,

whatever happened to "app sorting and filtering " on build v41!?!?!

Has anyone ANYWHERE got access to this rollout yet??

Unfortunately the 'App Filtering' is a rolling out feature; it only started rolling out starting with v41 (or whatever the update # was). I too don't have the App Filtering, but we'll both get it soon enough.

After about 5 to 10 minutes the charge was up to 82%, so I thought oh good it's been fixed I must check my firmware version. Though after another 5 minutes the charge 83%. Then I left to go shopping and after a further 2 hours the charge was 84% and the charge LED was green. The firmware version is the same.

Maybe contact Oculus Support mate. Updating your charging problems is not adding much value to this particular thread imho.

I was asked for an update by Ryan but I see what you are saying. I will wait a few days then raise a support ticket if I still have the same issue.

So, I find myself stuck with the crappy PTC V43.125 after resetting the headset, forgetting it doesn't roll you back and losing my spot on PTC, and now V43 is in full release and I fear I will receive no updates until v44, aproximately 5 weeks away if timelines hold.

I cannot for the life of me understand why the headset is unable to roll back to a STABLE build.

Yep, in the same situation... not being able to roll in/out of PTC on the quest headset for situations like this is infuriating.

Bonjour ,

installation vers la v43 effectuée 👍 . Je constate un casque plus réactif , c'était déjà trés bon 😉 . Je rejoins certains sur le temps de charge mais je referrais d'autre essais 🤔 . Rien pour l'instant de mon coté , pour la mise en place de mon futur compte Méta . Je vu les guides sur les comptes , c'est clair 👌.

OK, I just got the non-beta v43 (43.0.0.178.120.389405224) on my Q2/rtx3090. All seems to work fine. I did need to pair again for Air Link but it seems to be working fine. I cannot honestly tell any differences so far compared to v42. None of the new features (some promised back in v41) have bee rolled out to me yet.

My Oculus Desktop pc app is still on non-beta v42 (42.0.0.136.285) and after a couple of restarts is still seems happy to remain there and not auto update to v43. No cpu-bug and same 7% cpu usage when just in the rift void home viewing the virtual desktop. I'm tempted to try opting into the desktop pc app public test channel beta (v43) to see what happens but I'm not that crazy, lol!

Live a little and throw caution in to the wind. You have a 3090 let it burn.

This last update v43 has serious performance issues...

Just have the oculus running without doing anything is consuming above 50% CPU usage.

In the previous version (v42) everything was excellent, but with the new v43 something is wrong...

Please, I ask you to make a report to the development team and make a revision in the changes and problems that this latest update released.

I just shared this in the PTC thread, but for everyone here, there's a fix for the high CPU usage issue which some people are experiencing that's being tested right now. It's going to roll out gradually so that the team can monitor its performance. Keep an eye out for the PC build 43.0.0.188.173 which has the potential fix. If you don't have it yet, just wait a few more days and check again (I don't have the exact timeline for 100% deploy since it'll depend on how performance goes, but it shouldn't be too long).

Help others find great discussions and answers by adding kudos and marking solutions to your questions.

Honestly I don't see what's the need for all this rollout stuff? Just put whatever is the latest on the Public Beta and leave it there and update it until most bugs are squashed. Then maybe leave it on Beta for another month before releasing it as final.

It would be nice if the same could happen with Quest updates and public beta program. However, I guess if firmware updates were required then this may be a little tricky to do. For example, you can rollback your PC motherboard bios firmware but there is always a risk that you'll brick it.

In any case, I think that Meta needs to review its Beta programs because right now quite a few of us feel like Volvo Crash Dummies, lol!

Windows Oculus updated to v43 four days ago and again two hours ago. Headset updated to v43 yesterday.

Air Link has become unstable.

After the headset has been idle/standby/sleeping for a prolonged period on waking up and after the WiFi has reconnected the Quest Link status shows "not connected". Turning WiFi on and off or toggling between cable connection and Air Link does not re-establish the connection. Re-booting the headset in v42 would re-establish the connection but this is no longer the case in v43. The Oculus software has to either be restarted (Beta settings), the Oculus Service stopped and started or Windows re-booted to re-establish the connection.

Even if the connection is re-establish open Air Link in the headset often results in getting the three startup dots and dropping back into the home environment. After a few moments the connection will re-establish but opening Air Link once again gives the three dots and drops back to the home environment. After this you sometimes get a message that the connection was lost or not. In either case the connection will not re-establish until you either reboot Windows or restart the Oculus Service. Maybe one out of three times I'll be able to connect and startup Link.

Fortunately I have Virtual Desktop and Immersed installed so that I can restart the Oculus Service remotely. Neither of these suffer connection problems.

Got the v43 and I don't see anything new.

Where or when is going to be possible to create a Meta Account and Horizon user?

To use a new Q2 you have to sync it with the Oculus app. The Oculus app is still requiring a Facebook login. When will that be disabled? Unable to use my Q2 until that is resolved.
