    The link to the bug report does not work.

    Thanks for the flag! The link should be fixed now.

     

    Regarding your questions:
    1. It was a bug. We have a known issue thread for it in the support board and it was brought up in the previous PTC. The team has a fix that's in testing, they're going to try and get it into v40 and I'll let you know if it makes it into this PTC.
    2. We've heard requests for this and the team has considered it, but I don't have any status to share regarding the idea or it's possibility.

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

    Figured out myself: V40 PTC PC fixes the Windows 11 issue!

      I seem to still be stuttering even when moving my hands when just looking at the desktop. It's fixed just by updating the windows oculus client to v40 PTC or did you take additional steps?

      See my post above, stuttering with hand movements is present for me on cv1 on both v39 and v40ptc. Found the fix.

      In PTC 40, I've set hand track to auto switch, but it will only switch after reboot.

      Additionally, the hand tracking shortcut has been missing since V39 for me.

      My quest has been updated to v40 with what I can only describe as a crippling feature change to the headset tracking.  Previously, when tracking was disabled, it still managed to handle head movement and compensate the display.  i.e. One could still use it in a seated position and look around.

      Now, the display is flozen in place looking forward. And objects like a browser window move to stay in the front position.  it in essence is so unusable as any movement at all is noticed as bob and shake.

       

      This is not an improvement.

      Is the 72Hz bug fixed? I am one of the lucky oneswho seen reports of it so haven't had my headset on wifi for weeks so I didn't get affected, doesn't help whey you want to play online of try new games. I still see people now saying that v40 hasn't fixed it, perhaps it's only a small percentage of users but at this rate I can see people giving up on the quest all together.

      They replied that the 72Hz fix is on the list for v40 but it is not in the current PTC build.

        Can we please get a fix for the refresh rate bug? How do you guys think that this is acceptable?

        "How do you guys think that this is acceptable?"

         

        It is acceptable the same way any bug is acceptable. They did not break it on purpose, and they will fix it as fast as they can. Without knowing what changed that broke it, it is litearally impossible for you to know how hard it is to fix.

          I agree with you that usually bugs are a minor inconvenience to the user, however, this is not a bug in the traditional sense as it is false advertising (view tech specs on the oculus quest 2 store page). A locked 72 Hz makes me nauseated to the point of not being able to use the device. I just bought the Quest 2 with the purpose of playing at 90 Hz+. I don't think I can ever recall encountering a "bug" that REMOVES the critical features.

            Once the public test channel is full is there any hope for space to show up? im stuck on 72hz and i thought u could just update from the pc software but apparently, that's a different PTC for some reason.

            Hi RyanS,

             

            I have a problem, hope to get your attention, hope you can check the private message I sent you.

            I will wait for a response from you for that. Thank you ❤️

            When I'm connected to my computer with the cable, I have an "allow data access" window that now pops up every time I get a notification from my phone or when I take off and put on my headset. And it's impossible to click on it. You have to wait for it to go away at the same time as the notification. I did authorize it at least once at the very beginning

            Still no fix for 72hz only...

            We need to be able to revert back to previous builds (especially PTC members). We're helping you make better software and in return we get to: be stuck with regression for who knows how long.
