Meta Quest build v65 release notes

Don’t download v65 ptc. My quest 3 was jumping around. I couldn’t even submit a bug report as menu would just disappear and than come back again. Games were unplayable. I barely managed to reset it to v64 as it was so hard to press button when the whole menu was just disappearing all the time.  And this all start happening completely random. 

SubPhaser  Thanks for that mate.  I now avoid PTC, unless it includes an important fix for something.  You say you were able to reset back to v64?  In the past few updates it hasn't been possible to properly rollback to the previous non-PTC version.  Sounds like this is now possible?

Like other's I'm still waiting for non-PTC v65.  No big hurry since v64 is currently working very well, esp. since updating my +5yo wifi5 router with a new wifi6 router (not 6e) last week.  This alone has significantly improved my Q3 standalone and wireless PCVR with Air Link.  I haven't had a wifi disconnect since doing this.

Your last update broke my link cable connection. Everything was working good before.... 

Hopefully people citing issues are on non-PTC v65.  Otherwise they should be posting these on the v65 PTC thread imho.  Also, it would be useful to include which Quest headset(s) and a v65 version number.  Thanks mates and cheers.

Before I had issues with the ambient sound of the home environments in my quest pro for several months now. As of v65 I can't hear others talking in horizon worlds anymore and no ambient music, but I do hear the music in the worlds like iheartradio and in all of the venues concerts.

In the game "Tetris Effect: connected" I don't hear anything, no sounds, no music while this still works in other apps as beat saber. That's so weird.

I did lots of factory resets: it all works again at first but after a reboot, the issue reoccurs. All this is since PTC v62. I went out of PTC with a factory reset a while ago but it's not helping.

Quest 2: no such issues with v65, Quest 2 luckily never got PTC.
Support does not respond on my initial problem with the ambient sounds, now it's just worse!

Ok so now I can no longer draw a boundary.  Only option I have is to let Meta suggest a boundary, so I'm right back to lines and grids at a waterfall.  These updates are making my headset virtually impossible.  All I do is sit and watch movies or meditate.  Why can't this thing be removed for those of us who don't stand up, walk around or whatever?  I know I"m not the only one who asked that this be removed for when we sit.  

I would really love some official dedicated Meta web sites with download links to Meta Horizon OS.

All the talk about latest features in firmware releases that are not available for download even weeks after launch, feels like missing out.

Firmware v64 was fast to arrive here in Croatia (EU) but v65 is still not available, like the v63 before v64.

New features are very interesting and I cannot wait to test them out, but checking firmware availability every day just to see that it's still not available is turning into a chore.

I am using a quest3 with v65 and I am trying to use wifi 6e. It seems that most apps and games do not detect the wifi connection and I need to go in to wireless settings and disconnect then reconnect to get things to run and connect as normal via wireless. I dont remember this happening with v64.

Ok, I just got v65 a few hours ago on my Q3 (version 65.0.0.540.341), QPro (version 65.0.0.557.341), and meta link pc app (version 65.0.0.499.343).

Tested out with a few standalone and PCVR with Meta Link store and SteamVR apps using Air Link and Link.  All seems to be working fine so far.  This is with my i913900k/rtx4090/32Gb 6400ram/z790mb with wifi6 router ethernet wired to my PC and dedicated 5Ghz/80mhz channel (ch36 in my case).

I can't say I notice any significant diferences but the Quest home environment seems a little snappier and the transition into Air Link and Link also seems a little faster/smoother.  Also, since recently (~2-3 weeks ago) updating my 5yo wifi5 router to a new wifi6 (not 6e) router I've yet to experience any wifi disconnects, standalone or PCVR.

Also got the update to v65 for my Quest3, but the problem persist... after 6min connection lost.
With Quest 2 there are no such problems, tested with v64 and after update with v65!
So this problem I'm encounter ist specific to Quest 3 and doesn't affect Quest 2.

• Quest 2: 65.0.0.547.341
• Quest 3:  65.0.0.546.341 (different to TomCgcmfc ?)
• Link-App: 65.0.0.499.343

As I've wrote in the specific "WiFi Problem" thread  

Yes, FritzBox 6591 (non-Vodafone!), 5GHz, Quest3 alone... and yes there is a mesh connected repeater.

Problems came up with firmware v63 or v64, before there was no problem at all.
(last update of the router itself was in 09/2023 to firmware 7.57)

So technically AirLink is broken and unuseable anymore.

Test scenario is always the same: connect with AirLink and play through VenVR.

• with Quest2 played a whole level (about 15min) and no connection lost.
• with Quest3 played about 6min and stop - connection killed.
• So it's a specific problem Q3 and newer firmwares.

Another remark: after updating to v65 there will be an "perform update before shutdown"

• with Quest 2 it takes very long (about 5 to 10min) an it's done
• with Quest 3 it takes also long (about 3 to 5min) and after power on it comes again
  (didn't last as long, about 20sec, but again and again and...)

The last point could be a hint, that there is something wrong with the firmware of Quest 3.
All points mentioned here are reproducable.
So where is the problem to fix this?

Obviosly this is a specific problem between Quest 3 and "older" but very common (AC WiFi) AVM Fritz!Box's .

TomCgcmfc Buying a newer AX router (2-year "old" 6690 in my case) for around 260€ to fix a problem caused by firmware? That's a bit drastic and I lose the german specific S0-Connector...
