PTC v74 Release Thread

Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v74 started to roll out today 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 v74:

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 v74" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v74 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. Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting on the forums if you notice anything going wrong.

Share your impressions in the comments below and let us know if you see any issues.

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!

    Star.Knight I also posted on one of my Reddits, I had one person say Meta fixed it. About 30 minutes later another person posted and said that it looked like it was fixed but the stutter came back after they were playing for a while. They are going to play for a bit and see if it keeps happening.

    I have found a very handy workaround to the missing "always include mic audio" in camera area of settings. If you now go to the camera app and select record video it will popular asking if you want to always include mic audio and afterwards you will see it in settings. This should trigger with all ways to initiate recording video including the controller gesture but it doesn't. But i hope this helps others

    Luna said "Meta seems to be rolling out a change on v72+ that moves the Power Options screen to be an overlay of your current VR/MR space rather than teleporting you to a black void.

    (I believe they actually tested similar for Home envs 10+ versions ago but it was reverted)"

    The power option gotten smaller in size after I rolled back to V72 yesterday for testing.

    The power option and updating screen overlap each other on this new feature.

    Since V.74, my Quest 3 no longer asks me to grant the USB device authorizations when connecting a USB device.

    This means, for example, that you can no longer use a different capture card via HDMI-Link than the one you have already connected.

    Up to V.72, it was possible to switch between the different devices without any problems.

    As Luna pointed out, mobility settings, for adjusting height, now hve been changed to a slider style, making it easier to customize your height.

    With the new UI, I say the "expanded quick actions" looks amazing. I have think this feature is amazing to keep on. I have heard people complain about it being 'buggy' but never have the issue. It's too bad they don't have it on the "wrist meta button" feature.
