PTC v62 Release Thread

Thanks everyone for all your feedback on our previous builds, several bugs were identified in PTC v60 and the solutions for some have shipped, while others are on the way!

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v62 is starting to roll out soon for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 3. 

If you're seeing an issue or bug after updating to PTC v62 jump on over to our Get Help board and search for any existing thread, if you don't find one, make a new thread. Please add the tag "PTC v62" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v62 issues too.

It's best if you can post each bug you spot in its own thread, to keep track of individual issues separately.

Share your impressions and let us know if you see any issues. Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting on the forums if you notice anything going wrong. 

We know it's tough when you run into a problem on a PTC build and want to thank you all again for testing out PTC and sharing your feedback! This feedback is extremely helpful to our engineering teams. We appreciate your interest and persistence in testing out the core functionality of software as we develop!

I had gotten into PTC but when I had rebooted my headset I was unable to download apps from the Meta store. I factory resetted several times and I am unable to download or install games.

Update, it would seem the universe was waiting until I publicly ate my words, I swear I was at this for hours trying to make it work. It is downloading now. And while my download speed seems slower than before PTC, everything is working.

Hi Ryanality 
I've been trying daily but been unable to join the PTC on my Quest 2s since about November.  Is there any update on how I can get a device in, or if the amount of devices allowed can be expanded?  It seems like there are a lot of users here eager to test out the new firmware!

 On the dark side V62
  • The USB debugging prompt does not appear when the headset is plugged into the computer. In fact, you have to click on the Meta logo button to make it appear.
  • Personally, I've noticed major quality problems when recording a live mixed reality video from my Quest 3. Video recorded on January 25 on Quest 3.
  • I'm also unable to launch Citra, the new free Nintendo 3DS console emulator.

But perhaps most importantly, where are the new features and improvements in the V62?

 
The good news 26 January
  • Steam Link is working again
  • Quest Game Optimizer (QGO) is up and running
  • Applications can be downloaded from the store directly into the headset.
  • Ambient home sounds are back (although I'm not a big fan).

Mirror of avatar seems not to work on Quest Pro in PTC v62, but works on Quest 3..

Works ok, maybe just a glitch during the update!
