Can’t wait to try. I am really surprised by the speed of iteration and the involvement of the development team. I am really hard to convince but you are doing a tremendous job. The team behind both Oculus hardware and software is really impressive.

i been using v54 ptc for 5 days now and the headset often disconnect from the wifi frequently. Controller tracking lost happens also quite often with the quest pro. Sticking with v51 on my quest 2 as a backup headset. Hope the wifi connection issue will be fixed soon. (The same happens in v53) as well. Thanks.

Ya, to echo what OldTarget said, the Quest updates teams (OS, Quest Browser, etc) have released a lot of good updates and features this year. Really impressed.

And if ppl aren't aware, the Quest Browser updated a few days ago to include support for a bunch of streaming sites like HBOMax, Disney+, etc.

bought a wifi 6e router specifically for my quest pro. I was seeing even though I am in the same room as my router that the signal strength for wifi 6e was average, which I was confused and frustrated by. Upgraded to version 54 just now and see only strong, which I am pleased with. But...I just got kicked out of airlink for a moment which ruined my game session. I am hopeful that is expected as this is still new for the quest pro, my second option is I am going to return the router and get a different model. I want it to always say Strong signal and I never want to be kicked out of airlink. I am litterally the only device on the router with my quest pro.

Is wifi 6e still in test phase and I should not expect perfect connection?

It was a new update, the actual version looks like some flavor of version 53. but yes been waiting for it all day, got it tonight.

version shows 50000390053400320

It seems to pick up my hand controllers a little quicker, but I could be just crazy. I played golf + and the sound was terrible, everything else was good. I quit the app, played walkabout mini golf and the sound was good, so I went back into golf + and the sound was good as well. The wifi 6e thing still is a bother but i wont put too much of a gripe. Getting a new router delivered on Sunday and will test it fully as I cant tell if the problem is my current Asus router or the quest pro being new to wifi 6e. Will post an update on Sunday after i fully test. On regular wifi 6 I have had 0 disconnects, but I was chasing 6e. Probably just retarded(me)

I have got an available software update and my controllers are now really quick to be detected and correctly tracked (2s) which is nice.
Didn’t got much time to test in depth but Beat Saber and Red Matter 2 are working without any issue (and I am happy that cloud save game works with RM2 as I did a headset reset a few weeks ago).

So you got v54 PTC?

Edit; I just got an update for my QPro but it only seems to be a controllers update since it still shows the same v53 and OS versions. I cannot see that there are any noticeable differences so far.

I think I am on the production build of version 53 and not 54 PTC, sorry for the confusion.

Ryan, I think PTC v54 isn't published yet. No report right now.

Hi Ryan, could you ask the Dev's when V54 will drop for the PTC as I think you jumped the gun on this one ? Normally when you post this notice it goes live with a few hours this time it's been 4 days and nothing yet, i'm not trying to be nasty or anything we all make mistakes ! it might have been pulled at the last minute ? who knows, but can you give us all here an update ? Cheers

Got my version 54 tonight, first I noticed my Oculus PC app prompt me that I needed to restart to apply new update. Then went to System - Software Update and downloaded and applied new update. Will keep an eye out for features/bugs. Any release notes for this new version?
