Meta Quest build v60 release notes

Any idea why i dont see any new features on my quest 3 after v60 update? Notable things missing is the Layout Utility app, Lake Side for Environments, Passthrough during app loading. Not sure what else is missing and wondering what i need to do unless there's another update for v60.0.0.175.366.544898056.

Please advise.

Lando_Noloc This is a firmware release thread, not something to complain about Meta and the rest of the rest of the world. As I've seen no direct connection between your post and this theme, please stop mumble. Open another thread for that - thanks.

Anyway, got the firmware update for my Quest 3 and the desktop app yesterday.
Anything works as it schould including AirLink, SteamLink and Virtual Desktop Mobile.

I konow, you like it, TomCgcmfc 😉
(and yes, also the controller of the Q3 were updated)

Didn't found the "layout utility app" yet, maybe it will rollout by time or never get it.

Although the settings in the desktop app look funny, and yeah, no 120Hz option:

There is also a chance, that there will be an AV1 option in the future 😚

Saberpeep  With V60 my QPro controllers are still doing the haptic buzz when I place them on the charger.  Not sure why yours aren't?  Maybe you turned haptics full low in your Quest home settings.  I don't use hand. face, or eye tracking so I don't know about your other issue.

ohheyitsmike Features normally get rolled out over time.  Could take another couple of weeks before you have all the new features.  BTW, you listed the runtime version, not the usual version that we normally list.  My runtime version is the same as yours.  TBH, I don't find that most of the recent new features are very useful, fir me anyway.

Buetigame Ya, I also see that doubling up of Q3 refresh rates and have submitted a bug report.  Doesn't happen with my QPro.

V60 Update;

I got V60 on my Q3 yesterday and now both my Q3 and QPro are on version 60.0.0.173.366.  Also got an update for my oculus desktop app (non-public beta) to 60.0.0.162.352.

After a few restarts, including clearing my guardian history, everything seems to be working fine with standalone and PCVR using Air Link.

The only major issue I noticed is that my standalone Prime Video app has a few glitches; some white pixel sparkles around the video borders and occasionally the video doesn't actually show up (black screen with audio only).  Not a big deal for me because I normally watch Prime Video using Air Link with the Virtual Desktop app (meta/link Rift store version, not Quest store version) because the picture quality is much better.

Edit; today's version v60.0.0.191.366 seems to have fixed the Pixel sparkle I was seeing (and reported) with my Prime Video app.  So that was nice!  

Also I had a few early problems after v60 with my +2mo Q3 Elite battery strap.  It initially did not seem to want to recognize the strap battery and was only drawing power from the headset battery.  I needed to fully charge the headset by itself (left for an extra hour after the green light came on to make sure it was 100%).  Then I connected the strap battery and put it on charge.  After the green light came on, again left it on charge for an extra hour.  Afterwards, the strap battery seems to report the headset/external charge levels fine and seems to hold the headset battery at 100% until the strap battery runs out (~1-2% charge).  Also, after fully charging I always unplug the strap battery cable if I'm not going to use it for a while because, like my Q2 Elite battery strap, it tends to self discharge about 10-15% if left plugged in overnight. 

So far so good.  I'll report any further issues I find later, hopefully none, lol!

Quest 2 updated to v60 as well as desktop PC application.

Still no MTP notification when connected via Link Cable to Windows PC. Developer Mode and MTP notification enabled.

No Layout app in Library. No Lakeside Peak home environment.

Meta removed the Layout Utility app from v60 😮 why??? 😢

I am in Charlotte, NC and I did the V60 Update 2 days ago 12/11/2023. There was supposed to be 3 new home environments and the Layout Utility. I got 2 of the new home places, The wild west and the story book but not the mountains. AND I ALSO Did not get the LAYOUT UTILITY. ALOT of people are saying they also can not find the LAYOUT UTILITY.  If you Google Oculus Quest 3  LAYOUT UTILITY you will see the Reddit site where 10 people made comments about not finding the Layout Utility app.

PLAESE HELP,

Thank you, Randy Teague

scorpia14  Virtual Desktop already supports AV1, 120Hz. Air Link is basically abandonware at this point. Don't expect them to add more features when they're pushing standalone. It's beyond me why anyone still perseveres with it when VD (and even Steam Link) is far superior.

DJFLUFFY69  (and others), These updates and features are rolled out so they may not appear on your headset for a couple of weeks.  I still don't see the 3rd home environment or the Layout app yet either.  I'm not too fussed about either of these anyway. 

As far as home environments go, the only ones I find useful are the darkish ones like Lord of the Rings because it helps fine tune my brightness and contrast settings, which carries over into PCVR as well.  Right now, with both my Q3 and QPro I'm using about 90% brightness (quick settings brightness slider) and just a very slight amount of the contrast slider (Settings > Accessibility > Vision).  My Q2 is now retired but back then I think I was using about 50% brightness and just a slight amount of contrast.  Sorry if this is a bit off topic.

NorbertNoBacon  Air Link continues to work well for me and seems to improve a bit with the V60 update with both my Q3 and QPro.  So, I hardly think that this is abandonware, lol!  Snide, negative comments like yours don't add much value to these forums imho.  

Virtual Desktop also works well and I have recently tried out 120Hz and AV1 on my Q3/rtx4090.  Personally I didn't see any significant improvements to visuals using AV1 at 100-200mbps compared to using Air Link at 200mbps Dynamic bitrate.  Overall I did manage to get very good results with VD but these were not significantly better and I prefer to use Air Link (same preference over Steam Link btw).  This is purely a personal preference thing and both wireless options work well if you know how to set them up properly imho.  For those that cannot take the time and effort to learn how to properly setup Air Link (and Link) then I will say that VD is easier to setup and it's a little more fool-proof option.  Saying one is far superior to the other is pure nonsense imho.

As far as 120Hz goes, I've never seen any advantages in using this compared to 90Hz.  I've actually found 80Hz to be the sweet spot for me, esp. with flight sims like msfs because it gives me a little more headroom.  I know that some are more refresh intolerant than others though.  I can't see much difference between 80/90Hz, even with fast moving racing sims.  I do start to see some small amounts of blurring/ghosting if I drop it down to 72Hz though.

Again, sorry it this is a bit off topic.  Cheers.

Headset updated twice this morning, one was 0.97 GB.

Still no Layout App or Lakeside Peak home environment.

Still no MTP notification in Alerts when connecting Link cable to Windows 10 PC. Still able to connect MTP via ADB.
