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!

New piece to the new UI, I assume. A side bar menu name Recently used, settings that you used the most will show up.

Here are the changes that's happening on the stationary boundaries. Stationary boundaries are being separated from the Roomscale boundaries.

I see what you mean on the Meta Quest Pro Controllers:

V72 does have some issues on the tracking time to time, tracking vanished and reappear after I push the Menu and Meta buttons. (I was having issue trying to connect them to the Q3, no power indicator showing up, lol. I had to hold down the menu button and the Meta button for 12 seconds for it to work.)

V74 tracking just completely broken as of right now.

I'm having an issue with the external usb microphone working at the same time as using external earbuds that also have a dongle. The microphone is the hollyland lark m2 and the earbuds are soundcore vrp10. I'm connecting both dongles into a small splitter on AliExpress: 

USB3.1 Type C Male to Dual Female Power Data Splitter Adapter Up Angled Compatible with Steam Deck Laptop 10Gbps

Both device work on the splitter but only one will work.

I assume meta quest 3 only supports one external usb audio device at a time. 

Has anyone else gotten 2 audio devices to work at the same time?

Have two quest 3 headsets.  They both are having charging issues since firmware update to version 74.  Any idea how to solve this?

I had this when I first got v74.1019 charge stopped at 80% odd then I got v74 and I was able to charge to 100%. Then for some reason I got v74.1019 again and charging stopped at 72%. Today I have v74 and charging goes to 100%. Look at my messages above.

How did you get the other version of v74.  Mine updated to the public version of v74 and I can't charge above 72%.

It was all automatic I checked the firmware in the morning and had an update overnight. I far as I know v74.107 and v74.1019 are PTC versions and v74 with no decimal point is the release version. Why I went back and forth I don't know.

This morning I am back on v74.1019 but this time changing seems to work.

EDIT: just rebooted and now battery is back to 72% with a flashings orange charge led as usual.

EDIT 2: The version is now v74.1020 but charging is still stuck at 72% with a flashing orange charge led.

I have a question, I don't have the V74 update yet, is that normal?
