PTC v72 Release Thread

Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v72 is starting to roll out soon for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S.

If you're seeing an issue or bug after updating to PTC v72:

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 v72" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v72 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!

TomCgcmfc no, I don't have an issue like that, except it will flicker a black screen and back to the reality screen when shutting down or turning on.

Is it really true that people who joined the PTC Versions are not getting the new UI? Someone was saying that on X

I do want to clarify that the Mixed Reality Link App only works on Quest 3 and Quest 3S

And the new UI power menu that we have and seen on PTC V72 sounds to me is part of the V71 New UI update.

PenguinInChicago have you tried sideloading the meta quest software update?

December 10, 2024

Rolling back to V71 to do sideloading https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/getting-started/getting-started-with-quest-2/update-software-quest/ and rolled forward on to V72 again. I was able to get another piece of the New UI I believe.

After my factory reset, rolling back to V71, do the software update on meta sideloading site, and back to V72. The Remote Desktop will not work unless you make the Meta Quest Link App to V72. And Remote Desktop app on PC will be no longer needed, some reason I was having issues that Remote Desktop app was still being use instead of going to the MQLA. It will only work if your Meta Quest Link app is on V72. V71 wants the original Remote Desktop app on PC

TomCgcmfc the Windows App (Preview) is just for scanning a QRCode from Mixed Reality Link app on Microsoft Store just for the headset to Link up to the Remote Desktop app. More features and better supports.

As soon you set it up on your PC and Meta Quest 3 and 3S, all it need on a PC is your 2 app, the Meta Quest Link App, and MixedReality Link App. And headset required the Windows App for to login the Remote Desktop on headset. But just click on Remote Desktop, and click on your PC option, and there you go.

Anonymous  I didn’t know it was a possible solution no I haven’t. Do I need to downgrade to v71 first? I finally have things where I want them too LOL
