PTC v68 Release Thread

Thanks everyone for all your feedback on our previous builds, several bugs were identified in PTC v67 and the solutions for some have shipped, while others are on the way!

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v68 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 v68:


1) For issues: Go to our 
Get Help board and search for any existing thread on the issue, if you don't find one, make a new thread. Please add the tag "PTC v68" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v68 issues too.

2) For bugs: If you come across a bug, please post each one you spot in its own thread, to keep track of individual issues separately.

Share your impressions in the comments below 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!

Thanks can we as PTC testers get an idea of what is being introduced in set version? This way we can try focus on certain areas? Thanks

Every PTC release we have to ask what it is we're supposed to look for and they don't tell us.  It really is hard to test something if we don't know what we're going to be testing.

This question has been asked on every PTC build release and NEVER has it been answered by someone that works for Meta!! Nope not once! Never!! don't believe me, go check for yourselves! The only answer I ever came up with is because they release so many different versions all at the same time with different features for different sub groups it's next to impossible to do a release list as most people will be sending in bug reports saying I don't have this or feature and they would end up spending days checking release numbers against, they zone codes etc etc etc etc....!! I have no idea why they do this? maybe it limits the amount of bricked headsets from a random bits of code, so just remember by being in the PTC you are rolling the dice on bricking your device, trust me the last one bricked my right quest pro controller (lucky still in warranty so got it swapped out! otherwise ouch!!)

I thought when new PTC version out we get it, so we can test it ....but still sitting on V67....unless it's like live official versions they are staggered.

I have update to PTC v68 but I didn't see any changes on the UI. How to enable the v68 after the software update.

Since updating to v68 my Right Control has cut out on me twice--seems like the only fix for this is to pullout the "good" battery and put it back in. Never had this behavior before 😞

 

An hour after posting this both controllers went out... Could only fix by re-booting 😞 😞 😞

Feature Request:

All of the new movable windows, including the floating onscreen keyboard, need to save their position and size when you place them--so that when I return from an app or reboot the device they all display where I want them.

If I have to keep re-setting their positions I'll probably just turn the feature OFF.

Still having issues with using gamepads(Xbox, Playstation, etc...) in fullscreen mode. It seems that when I turn on the controller while in fullscreen mode it USUALLY works, however if I have the controller on before I go into fullscreen mode it is very inconsistent with whether or not the application will continue to read my inputs. In both cases I'm still not consistently able to use my controller in fullscreen mode.

I just got v68 and I am really glad for the fixes and improvements.

I would love for the three floating screens to have the ability to be anchored to their position in space when I take my headset off and put it on again or when I press the meta button to recenter, while the three docked screens will still reappear right in front me in accordance to my changing position. 

In addition, I think the UI will greatly benefit from giving the ability to resize any screen, not just the browser windows or just by pushing them away, because sometimes the screens can feel too small when they are close and shrink automatically.
