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!

    Anyone else notice that video recording is not picking up the mic audio unless you click record video in camera app and select record mic audio and only that time you have to click it everytime and only in camera app.

      PenguinInChicago video recording will asked permission on the mic if the headset got factory reset, or a brand new headset. And after approving the mic to be used it will stay on forever, unless another factory reset happens.

      I'm more seeing that V72 is mostly all about fixing issues, enhancing features and preparing upcoming new features. That's my thoughts

      I got non-PTC v72 today on both my QPro (507mb) and Q3 (363mb);  version v72.0.0.530.347.  My meta-link pc app is still on version v71.0.0.451.524.

      All looks and works pretty well the same with my QPro.

      My Q3 is a different story though.  I now have the new universal menu with things split up all over the place.  I'm sure I'll get used to it but I really don't see the point in changing from the previous menus.  Also, when I press/hold the power button to get into the power off options all I get is a grey void with some black dots along the bottom.  The only way I can currently power off is to press and hold the power button until I get a power off chime.  I have filed a bug report on this.

      Tested both out with a few standalone and PCVR apps (Link and Air Link) including msfs2020 and a few SteamVR apps and all seemed to work fine.

      Again, I'm not enrolled in any PTC nor do I have auto updates enabled.  So, when I checked for updates I did have a choice to update now or later.

      Kinda disappointing that there isn't a final release v72 thread with release notes yet.  We never even got this with v71, lol!  Cheers.

        TomCgcmfc interesting that you have non-PTC V72. I have 2 of the same Q3 but I'm able to rolled in and out of PTC, and V72 is showing as PTC Version.

          Anonymous  Ya, just another Meta update mystery, lol! 

          On my Q3 new menu/update there now is an option to update and save backups before power shutdown.  So maybe that's what meta wants us to select and then just use the power button to turn it off.  I found I could enter/exit sleep mode by short pressing the power button, as before.  Under the menu/power there is a restart button but when I tried that I couldn't select anything with my Q3 controllers after it restarted.  The light shaft from them shoed up fine, I just couldn't select anything.  So I then needed to do a full power down and power up again.

          Again, funny that my QPro with the very same update version doesn't do all that, thankfully, lol!  So far, I'm not a big fan of v72 with my Q3.

          I'm still waiting for the new UI to show up on my headset. Got some, but not the whole revamping.
