Thanks, I have not seen the v37 PTC rollout on my Q2 yet but I already have the Oculus PC desktop app at v37 PTC, which I assume you should use with this. I'll let you know what I think as soon as I get the v37 PTC version on my Q2. Cheers.

Do you get the black flickering desktop panel with your 3 series card?

Fix is turning HDR off in win10.

Can you check if they fixed it or its still a problem?

HDR didn't/doesn't cause a problem with my GTX cards so.....

MystaMagoo My monitor is not HDR certified so I can’t enable it with win10 settings. Maybe just as well since there seems to be numerous posts on this forum and Reddit about HDR causing a lot of problems with PCVR.

This is 1st I hear about HDR being the fix/problem.

Didn't have problem with GTX1080 and TV was HDR enabled then so maybe it's these 3 series cards or the RTX family.

"SystemUX keeps stopping" error message.

I get this message everytime i open the "Personalization\Virtual Environment tab.. Specifically when i try to click an environment or scroll down. I tried about 5 times, 2 of which required me to restart the headset (stuck on the three dots).

other than this, no problems.. the only change i have seen so far is that "Adjust Height" has moved to Accessibility/Mobility options.. Anything else new?. What happened to v.36?

barcalaci84 Sphar-Kee I just got v37ptc on my Q2 today and I did not see this Error message when I went into Personalisation/Virtual tab. I tried switching to a few different environments without any problems. I also tried this with 120Hz experimental and it worked fine. I normally just stick with 120Hz disabled because I don't see any improvements with 120Hz, just shorter battery life and my Q2 headset is a bit warmer (but not hot).

I also tried Air Link with Oculus PC desktop app on v37ptc and all the Oculus, Steam, and VivePort games worked fine.

Overall, I have not seen any significant difference so far. Seems nice and stable, that's the main thing.

Like many updates (and this one includes a firmware update, including controllers) I often find it useful to get rid of Guardian history and re-do it after a restart. Also, sometimes takes a few restarts for some features to appear.

It will be useful to see some release notes for both Quest and PC app v37ptc.

Edit; win10 and nvidia 497.29 driver.

JP_Fr v37ptc looks the same as v35 to me with both Link and Air Link. Maybe try opting into the Oculus Desktop app beta v37ptc if you have not already done this. Also check your device graphics settings and ODT.

so many ppl buy quest 2 to play rift pc games, Meta kills 99% of all Rift dev crap. We dont want to be forced to play Mobile Meta Games that most casual ppl are okay with. Plz for the love of the Holy Grail bring back the Rift games you bought up all those dev's what are they doing ?? 🙂

rant over,

thx =")

Thanks for testing everyone! I've forwarded feedback on over to the team, but please do make sure to put in reports whenever you see things, along with sharing it here. The more details the better!

Also, it's critical that we all stay friendly on the community, disagreement is fine, but remember rule one, "don't be a jerk." Bullying, attacks on other users, and inappropriate behavior doesn't have a place here, and we will remove members from the community forums if they can't play nice with others.
