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!

    After downloading the additional update for v68 a few days ago, the issue of having to hold down the power button for more than 15 seconds seems to have disappeared. However, the issue of controller disconnection still seems to occur, although less frequently.

      Dear Fatalution,

       

      I apologize - I should have clarified. The issue pertains to Pavlov VR title in OpenXR mode - I naively assumed the error is with all OpenXR titles as stated by Pavlov VR developer. You are absolutely correct that some OpenXR applications work correctly - I apologize.

      Issue with Pavlov VR persists however.

      Thank you.

        When 68 rolled out, I was so excited about the idea of audio input levels. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be working. As you can see in the screenshot below, There is an entry for audio input levels, but there are no settings under this entry.

            After the 3rd v68 update things are getting smooth.. it seems to run faster even.. I didn't notice anything to do with the meta AI or the graphical enhancements It talked about though ?

            I just had an update to v68 and now in accessibility - mobility adjust height now has a slider to set height this is something I have wished for before. It could be very useful to me and others.

              I got the non-beta v68 update yesterday on my QPro (v68.0.0.480.365) and meta-link PC app (v68.0.0.433.361), but still not on my Q3.  So far everything seems to be working ok. 

              One thing I noticed is that the PC app update reset my device graphics back to defaults (72Hz with res slider at 1.0x).  So I needed to change those back to what I had them on (80Hz with res slider full right).  Also, it changed my Air Link bitrates to default (100mbps dynamic) and I needed to change that back to 200mbps dynamic.  The PC app update was a bit different as it didn't go through the usual updating process, just happened and then required me to sign in again and update drivers.

              Anyway, hopefully now that the stable, non-beta versions are out now Meta will startup a new V68 With Release Notes thread.  Cheers.

              The v68 that you forced upon us with no way to not use it has made a bunch of PCVR games fail to load in VR and they just play on a flat screen.

              I really can't stand the way Meta does things. If we have to wait for V69 to play games like EA SPORTS WRC in VR, well thats just crazy.

              You don't tell us what is in the updates...
              If you are not abandoning PCVR link then you end up breaking PCVR link and don't seem to even care. Starting to think you like doing that to be honest.

              We need a rollback feature for the PC app for when you totally mess things up, you do it often and its really annoying. No way would i recommend anything from meta. I bought the quest 3 because it was advertised for 120 hz pcvr... well thats gone to! 
              Just straight up horrible!

                This broke the OpenXR Toolkit on my rift S. I can't play fligh simulator 2020 anymore. I hope it will be solved in the next version.

                We urgently need a "downgrade" button for when crazy updates break our system.
