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!

      As I've wrote... last updade for Q1 was installed one month ago and still works with Air Link.
      And yes, support for Q1 officially ended on August 31, 2024.

      I guess I just need to wait a little longer to get the update then. I'm very excited to test out some of these new features. 

      Also being able to lookup what your specific PTC update adds, changes, and or fixes, would be a good way to let people know what to look for and test in their specific PTC version. Idk just an idea I had.

      Got a second update of v71...

      ... Still see absolutely no change anywhere, including no Remote Desktop option in quick settings or rounded corners in the UI.

      Does anyone know what each of the number sections in the versions mean? I ask because I seem to have a 605 (or 612) as the 4th section, which is higher than all of you reported. 🤷‍:male_sign:

        I also got further non-ptc v71 updates earlier today on both my Q3 and QPro;

        Q3 (6.04mb) version v71.0.0.612.529

        QPro (38.51mb) version v71.0.0.606.522

        Didn't notice any significant differences.  My QPro home panel/dashboard size looks a lot more like v69 (which I like). 

        While Q3 still has the smaller panels that I don't really like.  At least you can use the expand icon to make it a lot larger, and then you'll also have a bottom background dimming slider.  Edit, after going in/out/in with Air Link the panel /dashboard size seemed to go back to the v69 larger version.  did a restart and this seems to have stuck ok.  Go figure, lol!

        Edit #2;  Q3 changed to version v71.0.0.605.522  QPro to version v71.0.0.606.522  Not sure why???  Seems to be small updates every time I power down, lol!  Not sure what's going on with all this.  In any case, at least everything seems to work ok.

          Miniature room scan is pretty cool. It shows your movement in the Miniature room and your layout in a 3d form

          V71.600 did have one change that was noticeable and mentioned on X. Spotted in PTC V72, but it was effective on V71 newest version. They change the name of "Point Cloud Data".

          Here's my opinion, V72 official release will give us the full UI as well with additional details they are redoing on the OS. That means V72 will be releasing earlier then expected, but this a guess, just because V71.600 is not allowing me to rolled over to the PTC V72. Unless they are full house on Beta tester
