The display follows every head movement when guardian is turned off. Also, i didnt notice anything new in this update... i thought v40 was to be pretty decent...

Can we got some solid information from Oculus/Meta on the 120 Hz fix?

The OP already posted that the refresh rate fix is on the list for v40 and will be included if they can get it done in time. They also note that it is not in the curren v40 PTC build.

Hey all, I had bad stutters with v39 previously with 3080. I had to lower the monitor resolution from 4K to 1080p to fix it while playing Lone Echo 2.

Hoping tonight, I'm going to test with v40 without lowering the PC monitor. To see if this is good news v40.

The index finger extend gesture DOES NOT work when Link is engaged. Works just fine on 39.0 PC software.

Noticed it when I popped into Lone Echo - couldn't press a button. Checked my controllers outside of Link (39.0 on Quest 2, 40.0 on PC) - works just fine on Quest 2 standalone.

Checked 40.0 Dash - the index finger does not extend when lifted. Downgraded to 39.0 by disabling PTC on PC - index finger extends again

PC: 9800X3D / 5090 / Windows 11 Pro Headset: Quest 3 with Link Software: 76.0 PC, 76.0 Quest 3

I want to confirm this as well, the index finger is not being tracked in Lone Echo 2 as well with V40, however, it tracks in the Quest environment.

Ok, got the headset PTC 40 and pc software on PTC 40.

It fixed the Windows 11 problem, Holla Yua!

Now, however, when I click on the store icon (pc software) a blank box pops in front and moves with my gaze.

The only way to get rid of it is to leave pc and come back.

It only occurs when I try to open the store as far as I can tell.

Hello! I would like to share a bug from the last firmware version (v39). I'm not sure that it should be reported on the link that you threw off, because I don't want to confuse the developers.

Bug description:

Some system applications disappeared after a factory reset. As far as I know, this is not a normal situation.
My settings have also changed, now they don't have a lot of functions. (I attach a screenshot)

Oculus App (desktop) v40 PTC and Quest 2 on (v39).

It's a lot smoother without running resolution down to a 720p PC monitor. Micro stutters are still there but more like every 4-5 seconds random. Better than Oculus App (v39 earlier on weekend before v40) that occurs every second.

The best experience was setting Quest 2 at 120hz experimental and leaving Oculus App at 72Hz.

However, I still haven't received the v40 update on Quest 2 itself. Only the desktop.

Is there anyway to know what headsets have the panel that is affected by the 72Hz issue? As in certain serial numbers? I'd like to get back online but not if I'm stuck updating to 72Hz

I have the issue no refresh rate and its unplayable on 72hz make u dizzy and its a brand new headset so is the people iv seen having the same issue complaining so it seems to me that most who are getting this have the new version that comes with 128 GB and bought it recently that's just my guess but either way, if i was you i wouldn't update until v40 is out but it's up to you.

Thanks for the feedback, mine is a 64GB from release day order, perhaps I'd be right but as you said probably not worth the risk.
