PTC v63 Release Thread

Thanks everyone for all your feedback on our previous builds, several bugs were identified in PTC v62 and the solutions for some have shipped, while others are on the way!

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v63 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 v63 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 v63" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v63 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!

v63 is very buggy for me and I NEED to roll back to v62. However, this is not working for me, it still shows me version 63.* on my Quest 3.
I disabled the "Public Test Channel" in my Meta app, but nothing happens!
I restarted the Quest, I let it charging for a while, but nothing. Any idea? I never did that before btw.

This guy recently made a video on how to sideload. So you can get the latest update, but all versions are on a certain website that I can't give you, but he will tell you. The site looks sketchy but it's legit.

I was thinking about doing it but I haven't seen any bugs yet

JackMayol it wouldn't let me side load back to the previous version because it's older and I am stuck on v63..

Tech support told me to do an RMA..

Or we could wait for the next update and it may fix it what issues are you having? 

I have tracking issues

When The pass through behind you disappears and seconds later you get tracking errors .. 

Put your hand over the sensors on the front of the quest and turn the screen off and on it may fix it for you..

It'll keep happening over and over though..

Can anyone confirm if more layout for the Apple Magic Keyboard have been added to Tracked Keyboards?

Asking specifically for the European ISO layout and space gray model of the Magic Keyboard with Numeric Pad.

Hi Ryanality 

On v63, the option to cast to Meta Quest mobile app is no longer listed in the native menu.  I can only see and select casting to a computer or Chromecast device.

Created a thread here: https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Get-Help/PTC-v63-Meta-Quest-mobile-app-not-listed-for-screencasting/m-p/1155579#M276910

Way to Go, push that update to my device to start testing, make this better than the Vision Pro, preparing to buy a Quest 4 Pro.
