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!

    Also Meta AI works smoothly in this newest update. Since it was first released, it wasn't letting me use the "Wake word" unless I reboot after turning it on. No more reboot required for me.

    QGO is able to work on V74 without any special ways, fully supported. 

    As I said before just waiting on the app to be supported for it to work.

    Great to see PTC v74 rolling out! Hopefully, this update brings solid improvements, but bugs are always part of the process. Reporting issues with the right tags will definitely help smooth things out. Looking forward to seeing how performance and features evolve—maybe one day, we’ll even get VR experiences as customizable as milkshake flavors!

    I got a new version of v74.1019 and it refused to charge above 84%. Forcing a reboot from the USB menu on my Q3 does not seem to correct it. I hope the release version corrects this.

    Edit: Forcing a power off via the USB menu and charging whilst powered down looks like its working with a solid amber light but there is no charging. Perhaps the battery charge is reported wrongly.

    Overnight I got another v74.1019 which allows charging of my Q3 past 84%. Hope it is fixed now.

    NicoEng and to whoever had issues with headset draining quickly in the past, as Luna stated, it's probably have to do with the headset constantly doing update in the background that you don't even noticed. Since everything is set for gradual update. The headset might get bogged down on updates and will drain the battery faster. We have received alot of new features since V69, and missing features, and it might be trying to push these updates.

    I was wrong, this mornings update of v74 charged past 84% once but since using my Q3 and draining the battery below 80% charging stops at 82% complete with flashing orange charge light. I am hoping that this will be fixed as I have tried a boot via the USB menu as well as a power off. Nothing seems to work.

    The color of the stationary boundaries is changing, blue to rainbow color.

    Has anyone been able to cast via USB (alt mode) as per the v74 release notes. I have V74.1019 and I have had no luck. I also don't seem to have any multi room support so I'm wondering if the update has even been applied at all. I have also tried V74.1020 on the PTC but same issue. I have a Quest 3 (128 Gb).
