PTC v74 Release Thread

Issues of PTC V74:

1. New UI goes away after shutdown or restart. 

2. The help & tips shows uninstall even though it's install (unless there is a new update for the app that not going through).

3. Meta Horizon World mirror reflection flickering.

4. Lagging games and apps. 

I don't know if it is related to v74, but since I updated to this version, the Files app also updated, and now it only opens images/videos in the same windows, but not even maximized, and it is not possible to resize the window anymore.

I know we now have the Gallery app, but it also does not allow resizing the window.

Its interesting to read this. When I spoke to support, it felt like they had never heard of any of these issues before, and yet...people have been in here reporting on them for a week. Do they not relay any of these messages internally? 

I've been having the same problems as a lot of you. The micro lag when connected to virtual desktop is frustrating, but the worst is that its completely messed up my charging. But i'm actually super relieved to have found this post to see that it really IS the firmware update. Support has been dodging answering that like the plague. 

I have to ask though. Some of you were able to roll back via leaving the PTC. But for me, i left, and my headset didn't give me any options to roll back to v72. I left the beta channel, checked, then today I even reformatted, thinking that it might download the older version upon first launch, but it re-updated right back to v74...is there something I'm doing wrong? I can't sideload either. (Be careful with that, it acts super finicky, and i thought I may have bricked my headset as I couldn't get it out of sideloading mode for a while)

New PTC V74 Build

This new build fixes the glitches and apps showing uninstall (even though they are installed) Idk if it fixes the lagging of the wifi sped. I know when I start up the headset it will give me the lost connection on the horizon feed try again. 

Haptic totally broken. Quest 3 + Touch Pro controllers. Intensity very low with max settings.

Can't connect using iOS application. Just no connection at all. So can't reconnect controllers.

Btw have no idea why I have PTC if it's disabled in settings!?

ggodin is right, there are massive spikes in virtual desktop for pcvr-streaming with v74ptc (build xxx...11190.xxx) on quest 3.

don't install v74ptc if you want to use vd on your quest 3!!! i made a video and had around 2 major spikes in one minute, i did not test if they are periodic.

Yeah. Same. VD spikes all the time.

Even native games lag.

And still no idea why I got this update.

Double checked both mobile and desktop app. PTC is disbled.

Can't rollback. 

PS: After 30 mins of playning, haptics was disabled on right controller at all. 

Since i'm locked in with no ability to roll back, i'm just hoping this new update brings back my charging. I turned off my headset last night at 90%, left it shutdown and sitting until 10am today. When powering back up, it had dropped back down to 74% whilst off, lol. Dropped again to 60% in about 5 minutes. I turned PTC back on on the app, and it updated to the latest build. Putting it on the charging dock to charge for an hour, to see if it acts normally. My main fear is that i'm actually damaging the cells when attempting to charge with a faulty BMS, since it can't regulate it correctly. I don't want a battery fire. 

Seageart you are able to rolled back by turning PTC on and off
