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!

    Is there a way to disable this multi window?  I'm on ptc v69 and the function has been removed from the experimental tab.  I can understand someone who works uses it but for an old retired person like me I don't need or want 5 thousand windows in front of me.  The headset is basically useless to me now

      Warping issues became better in PTC V69? I'm seeing it refocusing the phone image after a movement?

        What is really strange to me. Is that I am on version 68.00 .00 .566. but I have not noticed literally any of the changes that are supposed to be in this release. None of the features or improvements that this release is supposed to have are there. I literally see no change between Sixty-eight and 67. And yes, I have ran every single update that has offered to me.

        Since I got v69 with the controller firmware update I do not experience loss of connection with a controller anywhere near as much. So that seems much better.

          Another update with another dose of defects, not improvements. How do I go back? Instead of improved performance, just the opposite. When entering and exiting an application the frame count always drops below 5. Is this a productivity improvement? I see my home not right but at 45 degrees once or twice. Since the previous update, every now and then the floating menus go where they want and I have to chase them around the room. Give an option to roll back to an old version. If so, I would buy another helmet, not from this company. While I was with the Rift there must have been 2 problems in 6 years, and here they are popping up like mushrooms.

          I think it is important to remember we are beta testing pre-releases in this thread 

           There are bound to be bugs, that is the point of beta testing. Personally, I have seen few if any bugs in the final releases.  

           

          I do find the lack of Meta participation in this thread to be quite disrespectful however.
