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!

Can anyone comment on the pro controller functionality in v74 atm? 

I'm concerned if I update to v74 they'll be unusable, as they were unusable in v74 PTC

(I'm on quest 3)

Android keyboard / input method stopped working on v74 (tried GBoard and Weixin IME). They do not show up when an input on an android app is selected (they showed up properly before this update).

This is very important bug because it is the only way I can type Chinese on Quest 3 since the stock keyboard does not support Chinese.

Additionally, opening Weixin IME will cause the system to freeze and force reboot.

Calibration of controllers in v74 is completely broken. We cannot calibrate the angle or the deadzone of the controller.

The grip button on my Quest 2 right controller broke (again). I bought a replacement grip part and joystick.

The Joystick angle and calibration functions are useful in testing the replacement.

These functions are broken in v74 so I have to hold off on the repairs until Meta fixes the problem.

Given Meta's usual track record we can expect the problem to linger for at least 2-4 more full releases.

If you have multiple profiles DO not update to v74, I can confirm on quest 2 and 3s if you have multiple profiles and your not on the main one, if you join a game then quit your menu will dissappear causing you to restart headset

I see Meta brought back the indicator in the App Library if an app has been updated. A small white dot in the upper right corner of the app's tile. Previously a slightly larger blue dot would appear. Nice.

Quest Games Optimizer goes one up and shows the date when the update was applied. Nicer.

I just tried to add a new account to my headset then when I switch I get all these pop-ups crashed then I get sent to the main account home. After all that I literally can't open the power option menu I just have to force power off, this happens anytime I try to go on the new account
