    v54 on non PTC? is that still not out yet? or do you mean v55? I think it will after June 4, or even as late as June 11th before v55 is on PTC.

      Yes I mean V54 as I'm still on V53.

        Ryanality can you acknowledge that WiFi stability issues in v53 and v54 are known to your devs?

          was there some minor update to the v54 ptc?? ive been on the ptc since meta has forced me to be due to v53 bricking my system.

          anyway i wanted to report an issue that for no apparent reason virtual desktop was running flawlessly on v54 just 2 days ago with 1-4 of lag on any game with my 1200mbs wifi 6 router. although now simply viewing the desktop on VD moving the mouse takes 999+ ms. 

          im aware this is not the VD support but i went to VD and all signs point to meta being meta again... ive tried restarting, reinstalling do i have to seriously factory reset AGAIN?
          pcvr looks like dog doo doo with oculus dash, the oculus dash looks like ive had the top of corneas removed even tho my rtx3060 has no problems running anything, still no changes no matter what settings i chose. would you guys just give virtual desktop low level access so quest users can use their **bleep** headset. **bleep** man

            Like the comments said, V54 is giving network stutter issues, most prominent in VD and Airlink. Please fix this in the next update thank you!

              I just hate my quest pro now. It is unbearable!

              Controllers are literally unusable, turning off every 5 seconds.
              Sparkling pixels not fixed.
               
              v54
              Controllers fixed. Hooray!
              WiFi just doesn't work anymore, with any movement of the head the speed drops to 0.
              Sparkling pixels STILL not fixed...

                The new updates " ver 53" bricked my Pro had to replace it. Killed my controllers on my Q2 had to buy new ones. I think going from android 10 to 12 created some issues that are being worked out. I took them off the PTC until it gets a little better. So far all is better.

                  im with you on the Wifi. i have gone through 3 different routers to try and get a solid stable connection. they keep releasing "new features" but introduce problems as they do. I think the wifi problems are to do with android 12 and the drivers meta built into the code. I have a new router coming tomorrow and will have it as a stand alone access point instead of trying to get a full on router that runs my whole house. Will use this just for my quest pro. If I stay on 5ghz its a little more bearable, but still has its issues. Wish they would tell us they are working on the wifi stability though.

                    I have a separate wifi 6 router specifically for quest, almost no interfirience. I also tried different routers and even 2.4ghz. It does not change anything. I had to roll back the firmware to v53 and now the controllers.... 😫

                      Are these reported Wifi issues with the V54 PTC the reason we've yet to see the official V54 update start to roll out?

                      No, because I have the public  release of V54 (non ptc) and still getting issues

                      Keep it up guys! The last few PTC updates have had issues with HAGS and airlink for me in windows 11. Cannot view desktop when playing a game, stutter, lag, etc. I'm using a 3090. It's fine with it off but may be something to look into since a lot of people use HAGS.

                      Not sure if this applies to you, but if you were on the PTC and then got the public release you may have files that are still buggy. the solution posted in reddit is to factory reset your quest 2 or quest pro and install fresh the public release of v54 and your issues should be gone? hoping i get the ptc v55 soon to test it, but may do the factory reset

                      Already did a factory reset twice, once with PTC, once fresh install without PTC, the issue is still here. Kinda silly that we have to factory reset just to get a problem fixed which shouldn't even be there in the first place... Yeah hope Oculus fixes this in V55!
