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!

Nothing major to report with non-ptc v72 except I finally got the new UI panels with my Quest Pro (same build number, so just a rollout thing I guess).  I still get the extra environment screen flash before it takes me to the 'confirm your boundary' panel.  Occasionally I've found that once I get there I can't click on anything and then need to do a hard power off (hold power button for about 5 seconds).  Works fine after restarting.  I've filed a bug report on this.

TomCgcmfc same issues with me on the extra blinking screen. As well when I set up the headset after the factory reset, I can't click on next selection unless I reboot the device.

I mentioned this change in the startup sequenced several weeks ago. Prior to v72 you'd get the Meta logo, three scanning dots then passthrough mode with the confirm boundary window. Now it is usually Meta logo, flash of passthrough, virtual environment with Universal Menu for a few beats then the tree dots with black screen and finally the passthrough with boundary confirmation. Some variation will flash a black screen in there to.

Got an update (non-beta) for the meta-link pc app today;  V72.0.0.1105.353

All seems to be working fine and can't see any differences.
