    I really hate avatar with hands in v47, so really hope there is will be option to disable it... Please. In the Oculus TV application when the controllers appear the hands behave inappropriately, also when the controllers are far away from you and you take them the IK hands begin to shake so much, which I really don't like. Given that it is impossible to rollback to the update earlier so I have to wait and hope that this feature can be disabled in options like in experimental or so on

      Just automatically updated to firmware 47.263 and it has broken the 90hz framerate option on the app Skybox.

      There is now only the options of 60hz, 72hz and Auto with 90hz now missing.

      Meaning anything i watch has a flicker and causes headaches and eye strain and possibly seizures in some users.

      Also the homescreen has gigantic fonts in the UI that look terrible.

      Yay !

        It looks like Meta has proposed to kill the PCVR and they are getting good at it! No way i buy an Meta HMD again, his software releases are just a joke...

          v47 appears to have bricked my quest 2. air link doesn't work, shop doesn't work, logging in doesn't work, accounts don't work, library doesn't work. can't even revert back to an older version, meta is trying their best to kill the q2, especially with the PTC version I got.

          hey had the same issues when it updated to v 47.264, factory reset power button + volume down fixed most of my issues, I still have a problem with Air Link, no matter what I do massive frame drop can barely navigate to exit, and nasty visual artifacts if I move my head, like the pixels are collapsing in to virtual black hole, cat find any fix, Virtual desktop work perfect no issues what so ever...

          Did you tried to factory reset it via the mobile app or via the recovery menu? Maybe it will help.

          I' ve restored to Factory defaults and automatically install v47. I've checked that develop mode is disabled. I cant enable It with the app mobile even with MQDH

          When is face/hand/eye tracking coming to steamvr, and when can I use passthrough in airlink? Would like to actually use my quest pro but there's no firmware for it yet.

          No one wants to run ****ty standalone apps.

            RyanalitySince v47 is now being rolled out (non-beta) it may be a good idea to start a new v47 thread with release notes. I now have v47 on both my Q2 and QP./rtx3090 So far, everything seems to be working very well. Even wireless PCVR with Air Link seems a little smoother now. Cheers.

            I did not opt in to the PTC yet once again my apps and headset have updated, this time to v47.

            I noticed when in my home environment there are arms and a torso connected to the hands now.

            The only glitch so far that I can find is in the Settings - About. Network and Device are blank. In version 46 the MAC address was blank as well.

              v47 didn't fix the stuttering issue for me. I have one frame dropped every 2-3 seconds or so. Same as before. It causes micro-stuttering. Frame drops happen even in the lobby of SteamVR, so it's not performance/GPU related, as described by many other users.

              By the way, this happens both with Air Link and wired Link cable...
