    Hello there and thank you for sharing those notes, one thing that has been bugging me on this release is the fact that passthrough is reset at every start of the device.
    It used to remember your settings when it was restarting but it's no longer the case. Could you help us out on this topic @Ryanality ?

    Got second 54 update (actually it updated only the controllers) and it seems to fix the tracking issue for Pro controllers (regularly disconnecting every couple of minutes with W-Fi 5 connected)! Meta Move is still broken but I believe it can be solved with a Move app update, without firmware updating. So, it's good to see that Meta finally starts fixing things!

      Also, please please, let users disbale guardian while in Passthrough....
      Why do we need a guardian while in passthrough ? Since we can see everything around us, this seems a little silly (Big friction point as mentioned in other forums)
      Thank you

        that is odd you still have the older v54. i think most of us got the newer v54 last Thursday or Friday. have not seen anyone stuck on the older v54 till you mention it today.

          I thought it was odd too since I usually get them pretty fast after release (even before I was part of the PTC). Out of curiosity I turned off the PTC option for my PC app back yesterday and it rolled back to V53.  I put it back on the PTC and it bumped back up to a version of 54, but not sure if it is the current one: Oculus App Version 54.0.0.110.284 (54.0.0.110.284)

          I have a Q2 and use Q Pro controllers, not sure if that matters aka if releases are hitting the Pro headset first now...

            Did try to use Apple TV+ in the ”Meta Quest Browser” in full screen mode!

            It works on the Quest Pro, but video is not stable as you get some strange flickering!
            Works fine on the ”Firefox Reality” web browser, so I guess it`s within the Meta Quest Browser that the issue resides 🙂

              my first factory reset I felt like was a pain in the a$$, but i have been going back and forth between public and PTC so often its just a bit of time. I feel like at this point Im on PTC and all the features I need are working like a champ. I had most issues with the wifi 6e but not sure if going back and forth to PTC helped but I am on PTC and so far all my drops are gone. I feel like Meta is getting ready to compete with the Apple headset. 

              Here is another thing, i love the quest pro but feel I will end up buying the apple headset. I hope i dont abandon the quest pro - only one love allowed.

                  Your update has stopped the use of 3 simulators we have developed and had on the shelf for sale to the public. You guys are affect our reputation as developers as well as oculus reputation for being a usable platform for developers

                    Do you mean the "beta" update? public "test" channel?

                      I got firmware 54.0.0.140. I feel something strange.

                      Thumbnails displayed in each category in Explore are so whity. Store's are normal. Menu icons seem whity, too. Super unstable latency (transfer time) bug of H265 Air Link isn't solved. Also, the problem with the smart phone app, when I uploaded an image to google drive, the jpg file was converted to png. Is this an app issue or a google drive issue?
