    I have the v41 downloaded and I don’t see any noticeable changes. Am I missing something? I got a couple of things that were supposed to be in v40 and I already had the room setup feature before I downloaded v41, so I am kind of scratching my head here…

    Ok so after playing around with v41, I did notice some improvement with the latency issues and couple of othe but fixes. 😃 As for features, there is a new color space feature in experimental that lets you toggle between a "Natural" setting and a "Vibrant" setting. It also looks like they finally calibrated the "Room Setup - Experimental" feature to work in your Horizon Home! All of the items in my room that I mapped out, now register as active guardians in my Horizon Home, which makes it much easier to avoid bumping into things! This also makes it possible to add more than one couch and desk to your Horizon Home and have visual representations for all of them!

     

    I love seeing advancements in our home space and it makes me even more excited for what's to come! Thank you Meta!

        Sorry, about PC app PTC v41. It seems that PC app PTC v41 has Oculus Link bitrate limitation. So the max image quality is clearly worse than v40.

         

        This is through the lens comparison between v40 900Mbps & v41 900Mbps.

        I reported it to Amanda (software engineer of Meta). She said it was unintentional and she is looking into it to see if she can fix. Thanks. 😉

          In v40 I set the bitrate to 955Mbps, and the Alex game feels very real. With the same settings in v41, you can see that the bitrate is forcibly set to 500Mpbs through the log of Oculus DebugTool. At this time, although it is difficult to directly see the difference in image quality, but the sense of realism has disappeared.

          Yeah, and actually it's worse than v40 500mbps. 😞

          v41 960Mbps looks like 300Mbps of v40.

          I just went back to v40. The PTC v41 for PC app is missing the friends and chat tab in socials when you are in VR.

          I’m just curious, but does anyone in this forum besides me, use there Quest 2 for Productivity/Workspace and/or Entertainment (Movie Watching, YouTube, & Social Media, etc) use? I don’t game all that much but my Quest 2 has already replaced my computer in a lot of ways. Can anyone else relate?

          Absolutely!

          It's the multimedia side of VR I'm cheering for.

          Major live events in sports and music in particular.

          Virtual test drives.

          Comon future, I'm gettin old.

            - "Space Sense" is no longer available for me (which doesn't really make a difference, as the implementation of it sadly made it useless because static objects would show up - even with the distance settings). I hope Space Sense comes back in an improved version, where only moving "objects"/creatures show up + with proper distance units instead of bodyparts like feet etc.

            - There is still no option to set the way the time should be displayed, so it still forces you to use the ambiguous system where you need to read numbers + letters like "AM" and "PM" instead of merely looking at the numbers like in e.g. 20:32.

              Hey, Ryan. If you check out my history, I'm fairly active on these forums and am always jumping in to try new bleeding edge features - I've been a Oculus/Meta fan from the very beginning - I own a DK1. My app is saying the PTC is full, but is there any chance of putting me in? I would be a good addition to it, and would be able to provide a lot of feedback for you.

              Hi, my quest 2 doesn't hold the battery for a day without being used. This never happened before. When I come back from work I have to recharge it. I don't even have time to enjoy it anymore :(.
