I just got another v54ptc update yesterday;

version; v54.0.0.140.344

I'm pretty sure it's same as the current non-pct version.  I still haven't got any confirmation from Meta on this yet though.  All seems to be working fine so far with standalone and PCVR using Air Link.  Can't say I've noticed any significant changes so far.

The passthrough option is still not being memorized, when we want to use passthrough, we don't want to have to check it all the time. Please bring back the possibility to remember our passthrough setting.
Thanks

Hi, i have an amd gpu 6950xt last driver version (23.5.1)....with v54 airlink it's totally unstable, no matter the codec nor encoding. It lags a lot.

I have submitted a bug report for the following issue. I just want to raise more awareness to it here because it destroys the fun of playing anything other than standalone games.

Currently on airlink and virtual desktop, there is an issue where there are artifacts that look like bright blue sparks of the edge of my display on the right-hand side for both lenses. I did some digging to make sure the LCD screen inside was in good condition and it is. This was not an issue for me or anyone else until after the v54 update that was pushed out to normal users. I was not a PTC member, but because of what this current update did to my headset I had to reach out here. The following are links displaying many other users experiencing the exact same issue. To me this is a major problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Quest 3 is coming, and this is not a good look for meta. I have invested alot into games from the meta quest store and the oculus store and I really want meta to be a top gaming headset because of this. However, if this and other issues become more prevalent, then I will just write off those purchases and move to a different standalone headset platform as they become more available. I'm sure that many other users will do the same as well. However, if it works and does not cause us irritation, then I am sure that meta will be number one. Anyway, here are the links I promised to provide.

 

Links:

v54, encoder seems better but white pixels in left eye : r/OculusQuest (reddit.com)

Meta Oculus Quest 2 Flashing pixel artifacts & White pixels flash : u/sezzce (reddit.com)

 

Also, I have attempted a factory reset of the quest 2 and that did not work, which was obvious it would not. Since this is an issue of Quest 2 and Quest pro since the update. Some have even seen this issue in v53, although I did not personally experience it then. 

 

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Respectfully,

Robert A.

007xSlayerx007   You can submit all the bug reports you want to mate.  However these never seem to make much difference with the final non-ptc updates imho.

Been a good few weeks now since this graphical issue has first started to occur due to the new update and still no new patch...

I personally encountered this problem on 05.05.2023, after updating to v53. I submitted a ticket to Meta Support a few days later.
18.05.23 I got the mail from Meta Support: "Our engineers were already aware of this issue, and they are currently working on a fix as we speak.
As of now, we are soliciting your extended patience in regards to this matter. No worries, as once we receive an update from our team, we will let you know in no time".

Noticed a problem/bug within the home environment a new home was introduced today with the latest update, what I have noticed is more visible when in tablet mode, if you move your head side to side the text becomes very blurry (sort of like motion lag) it's a lot less noticeable on multi window mode on this new home, I then switched to various other home environment's and started to notice it to a lesser degree ? Now I not sure if it's something to do with the animations having an effect on the whole system as it seems more visible with homes that have more animations than others.
