    Anybody try app sharing yet on v39? Is shared account still encouraged to pay for a new app and the primary account receives error message? Strange bug that typed up that error message 😅

        Sounds like a lot of folks are going to need to buy

        a new meta quest device, right click, select all, delete,

        and then dive follow with em, Archive folder in App Library,

        apps with ...archive... option, bingo, collect 200 monstrosities

        when you pass, send me a new beta!

         

        VR_q2_v37.0, PTC is full, I'd buy that for a dollar...

        App sharing is completely broken, and it's unacceptable.

         

        This needs to be fixed ASAP. Many of us bought a second headset because of App sharing, so if this isn't fixed soon, then I foresee a class action lawsuit arising.

          I looks like they added a new environment to Oculus Home. It's called Mountain Study and it looks like it is meant to be a private virtual home office. The thing I liked the most about this new environment is that it replaces the standard appearance of your desk guardian to a nice looking oak desk with a leather pad on it! I already manage most of my standard workflow in Oculus Home (via the browser and native social media apps), so I love that I have an environment available that caters to this! This also further supports my suspicions that Horizon Workrooms was never meant to be the ultimate solo workspace, but instead an app dedicated to creating collaborative workspaces, while your solo workflow can be accomplished in your soon to come Horizon Home.

           

          I hope that maybe this new environment is a sign that we will soon be getting the officially release of the infinite desktop that was mentioned in the press release last year! Fingers crossed for V40 to be a big feature heavy update!

            Welp it looks like they removed the Mountain Study from the Environment Library. Fortunately I stayed in that environment so I can still actively use it, but it looks like if I change my environment in the near future, I won't be able to go back to this one. Hopefully they bring it back soon! The work in VR/AR community has been looking forward to these type of updates! Do you have anything to share on this Ryanality ?

              It looks like Mountain Study is back up with the new Desk Guardian design and I also noticed that the new Desk Guardian design was in the Studio environment as well. 👍

              Has the 72Hz bug been fixed? Hesitiant to install the beta as I use 120Hz for iRacing every day.

                Hi everyone,

                 

                Special thanks to everyone who has reported issues on PTC! The team is actively watching bug reports coming in and responses made on the thread here. We saw people were having trouble with their apps not being able to download or not showing up and recently published a fix targeted at the issue last week.

                 

                The team would like to look into this further if anyone is still having trouble. If you're still not able to see any apps when in headset, or recently purchased an app and it's not showing up as available to download, can you please send me a private message here on the forums so I can get some extra detais to send the team?

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

                  Oculus PC App Version 39.0.0.65.369 just installed from the PTC. Any idea what's new? Hopefully fixes for the unplayable 120hz mode.

                    I lost 120 hz in experimental after upgrading to v39. I'm locked in at 72 hz. Please team, it took me several months just to get 120 hz.

                      Seems they haven't hotfixed it yet on PTC. If the higher refresh rates do not come back on next public release, then it is possible this was an intentional feature removal.

                       

                      I love higher refresh rates, which is super important in the context of VR immersion. I was hoping it would finally graduate experimental to default settings. I never expected it to be expelled.

                       

                      They might be locking to 72Hz as an effort to standardize the performance and experience for all developers and users.

                      I find that highly unlikely but it would be great if Ryanality could address this for many of us.

                      Most of PTC Users wait for a official Update and then, they are not longer a PTC User.

                      but hat´s no problem, because PTC is full.

                       

                      Meanwhile Virtual Desktop is better. 😉
