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!

    Sounds like we might have a power option to shutdown in the Meta Quest settings, without using the power button, on V71 or the near future. Not sure if this true.

    I hope everyone is aware they will no longer let you pause your immersive play. Immediately your prompted to quit the app or cancel

    Thats sad, with this new update there's no more audio sound on the shutdown menu when opening it up? But they added a different sound effects on moving your windows around.

    This update fixes the fan sound I believe, as well the white sparkles statics, and UI flickering issues?  Anyone noticed the change

    awajg I did factory reset after I received the update a couple of times. I did a certain way where it will factory reset to the previous PTC V71. Just make sure to keep PTC on when factory reset, if you like to apply the newer Version on factory reset

    Anonymous, maybe it's better for me to wait for the official release and then do a factory reset?
