Meta Quest build v46 release notes

These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of October 6th, 2022 and will be pushed to Meta Quest and Meta Quest 2 headsets.

 Privacy settings

  • Weโ€™ve redesigned, revamped and retooled your in-VR privacy settings for all Meta Quest headsets.
  • With these enhancements and upgrades, we hope to streamline setting up your privacy preferences. This means that now you can easily manage settings for individual apps as well as for social connections or device settings, all in one place.

Khazad-dรปm Home Environment

  • Weโ€™ve collaborated with Prime Video to create a new Horizon Home environment inspired by the portrayal of Khazad-dรปm in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, now streaming on Prime Video.
  • This will be available on Oct 10 and will only be available for a limited time.

Search improvements

  • Weโ€™re improving our search to now include commonly searched for settings.
    • Users will be able to clear out all their popular searches at once as well as clear out individual popular settings.
  • Weโ€˜re also making improvements to the search results overall. One of the ways weโ€™re doing this is by enabling Search to bring up your previous searches higher in the search results. This allows you to more quickly access settings you commonly search for.

Recent apps

  • Weโ€™ve made updates to the Universal Menu to provide quick access to your three most recently used apps directly from the menu bar.
    • This will be rolling out to users gradually.

I am still missing Advanced Camera Settings in experimental. Is anyone else still missing it? Iโ€™ve been unable to make recordings in wide screen.

For some reason I got an early jump on v46 before it was announced even though I'm not in the PTC.


Whenever there is an update I try to go through the system settings menus to see what has changed. If it is a feature I don't use I may not notice the change.

 

Biggest change I've notice is in Guardian. It will point out objects in your area. With a fixed boundry these "objects" are often the folds on the pants I'm wearing while seated ๐Ÿ˜€  These "objects" do not force passthrough mode while used the headset.

 

Installed Khazad-dรปm Home Environment. Nice.

 

Experimental camera settings are there. They showed up on v44 for me. Went from 44 to 46. There are no aspect ratio options for still screenshots however.

 

Resolution in Air Link is still a problem, as well as distortion in right "eye". Resolution is inconsistent, rarely it is sharp and clear without right eye distortion. Almost all of the time it is fuzzy, blurry with text barely readable. Once and a while it is slightly clearer but nothing like what I used to get under v43. I tried resetting everything on PC and access point. Even changed channels and shut off all other WiFi devices and any other network activity. Refuse to do a factory reset on the headset.

Would it be possible to get the 4090 added into the supported GPU list? Desktop app keeps saying it doesn't meet the new minimum requirements, but it still works fine. Best AirLink experience I've ever had.

Please return the color and contrast settings to what they were in the Experimental settings. Profiles bright, balanced and natural+contrast control

When are you going to fix Link issues?

 

Now audio is broken since a couple of updates - can't run decent bitrates without completely messing up the sound. What a **bleep**ing trainwreck...

 Where is App library filter & sort setting of v41? Where is contrast slider (not color space setting) of v42? 99% people didn't get them.

Last 2 updates are a joke. Lot's of new features in v44 and v46 I would like to use... I get upgraded from one to the other... And literally don't see any difference.. none of the stated features are working or showing up. The only thing that showed up was the new home environment... No new video recording options, no recent apps pinning etc... What's the point of releasing any updates if the majority never gets them!?
