PTC for Quest v.47 Megathread

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest and Quest 2 v47 is starting to roll out. Meta Quest Pro is not included in the PTC at this time. Let's use this thread for collecting feedback on it. Share your impressions and let us know if you see any issues. Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting here if you notice anything going wrong.

 

Thanks to everyone testing out PTC and sharing your feedback! We appreciate your help testing out the core functionality of software as we develop!

    Still encoder framedrops with link and air link, but air link became even worse now. I've already sent a support ticket, but they're only suggesting basic things I already tried.

     

    There are more people with this issue, started with v46. There is also a reddit post and a forum thread here.

     

    Please fix it, something is changed for encoding on the Quest 2.

     

    Edit: I've only use the PTC on the PC software, because it's full for the Quest, so I can't try what happens when updating to the PTC version of the headset itself. But I don't think it's matter, encoding is done on the PC.

      Thanks for the heads up! Any beta release notes available and/or specific/new things to look for or test?

      fatal88, thanks for reporting! I've reached out to the engineering team on this and confirmed that they're working on this. It helps to get the flag from PTC too, so I appreciate you jumping in!

      dopamaniac, we don't currently publish specific release notes for PTC. Sometimes the features that will be in the release aren't enabled yet and we're often using PTC to test out bug fixes, and to find new problems that might have appeared in the build. Also, the team sometimes likes seeing what features people might notice without being told to go looking.

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

        RyanalityThat's great news! Thanks!

        I would test with the PTC version on the headset as well (to be on the same version), but unfortunately can't join PTC because it's full.

        This encoder stuttering is literally killing any love I have for Airlink. Any game requiring aiming is so difficult with the hands constantly jumping around due to these hitches. PLEASE prioritise this.

            There was official information that the touch pro controller will be compatible with Quest2 in December (v47), someone please confirm if it is available.

            Why can't any answer this crucial question? How hard can it be for someone to try an pair their pro controllers with a Quest 2 and either confirm or deny!?

            Come of guys this is a huge issue given the impending release is literally days away.

            Are the controllers supported or not?

            I get close to the wall (Guardian Boundary) during the game, then Oculus Link dropped frames unexplainable.

            Was there a new update? My Quest battery was depleted this morning (from fully charged last night), which often happens when an update installs (Quest stays on afterwards due to my lens cover triggering the sensor). I would check, but I'm waiting to get enough charge to start the headset.

            Edit: I think there was... I'm on 47.0.0.263... and I think it was 47.0.0.235 yesterday. Also, I now suddenly have avatar hands and arms in Quest Home, rather than just floating controllers.

            I don't see a new version, although my headset is on v46. But I noticed that the tracking and frame drop problem is not as bad as it was before (still there). I will also check this guardian issue mentioned by kzolee216

            Yeah sorry, I meant an update to the PTC v47 release that this thread is about. It looks like they pushed out a small incremental update.

            Hi Ryanality — I received the v47 Quest Pro update this evening. Is there information available for this update?

            Thank you
