PTC v71 Release Thread

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v71 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 v71:


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 v71" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v71 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!

      Same here... there is no sign, that this (retail) update has changed anything!

      TomCgcmfc Also same hier... no update of the desktop app, nor update of Quest2.
      Only the Quest3 updates to firmware 70.0.0.527.522...

        V71 has a purplish blue dot indication on the right side of the Time if mic being used for MetaAI as well showing after an app having permission. With a mic indication after asking for permission it will show as well on the top of quick setting

          OK, finally got non-ptc V71 on all my current meta headsets today (Q3 and QPro) plus meta link pc app;

          meta link pc app version v71.0.0.451.524

          Q3 version v71.0.0.579.522 (1.27gb)

          QPro version v71.0.0.578.522 (805gb)

          Tested with a few standalone and PCVR apps (Oculus and SteamVR) with Link and Air Link.  All seems to be working fine so far.  I don't see any significant differences in performance.  Only minor thing I don't like is that to power off I now need to select the power option since it initially only shows Sleep power down option.  Not sure why this is the case???  Anyway, main thing is v71 didn't brick anything, lol!  Cheers.

          Aside; I see that there already is a PTC V72 thread (as usual, no release notes) and I guess we'll never see a final (non-ptc) V71 thread, lol! 

          i9 13900K water cooled, RTX4090, Z790 MB w/wifi6e, 64Gb 6400 ram, 2x2TB SSD, 1000W PSU, Win 11, QPro, Q3, w/Link and Air Link, Vive Pro1 with 2x2.0 base stations, Etsy lens mod and Index Controllers

            TomCgcmfc Confirming all your findings, also got the Meta Quest Link (desktop app) Update.
            Yeah, the power options are a bit confusing - mayby Meta tries to push the "always on" option.
            There were windows-driver updates and a new "RemoteDesktopCompanion.exe"...

            Anonymous Also got an update for the Q3 firmware... but it's a "huge" one (1.27GB).
            So the version climbs from 71.0.0.527 to 71.0.0.579... 

            Only difference - after power on the dash is really small, resetting the view makes it "normal" again.

            And there is a "hidden" error each time the desktop app starts:

            "(node:14324) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 41 oaf.data listeners added to [EventEmitter]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
            (Use `OculusClient --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)"

              Got the update for my Quest2 installed... 71.0.0.578 (1.08GB), same as Qpro from TomCgcmfc but "bigger".
              I had to do a factory reset afterwards, because it was "hanging" all the time.
              This done everything works like a charm.

              Also tested my Quest1... no updates at all, as expected (last update around 1 month ago).
              But... Air Link works as it should, which was very surprising 🤔

              Quest 1? There should be no updates on the Quest 1st Gen. Meta doesn't support it
