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!

    Anonymous Thank you, I got it in the end! Strangely enough for me, i had to go up to go down. I tried many times last night before the new build rolled out, but it wouldn't show up to roll down. But when i tried again today, the latest build popped up, so I got that, then went off, on, off. Gave it a sec, mulling around menus, and then v72 popped up!!

    I just came back to let people know, for everyone that was having those charging problems/battery light flickering/etc, the rollback to v72 fixed it for me. But i'd like to give an opinion, and I hope it doesn't come off as fear mongering as that's not my intention. I may be overreacting, but; the battery issue, for me, crosses into the dangerous category. I don't consider it to be just a normal glitch, or graphical error. Those are annoying for sure, but anything to do with the battery or its management system is an immediate red flag/pull out moment for me until I have more detailed information about what's happening. So if that's a side effect/glitch you're dealing with, i'd err on the side of caution, and roll the headset back for now. 

    I didn't get a chance to test the voltage, so I'm not sure if the glitch was causing the headset to either charge to full battery but report a lower percentage, or if it was limiting the charge completely and/or trickle charging from around 70%, but if it in fact was full and was overcharging the cells, after a pretty short time, that could potentially lead to swelling or other damage. Meaning there could be the potential for things like rapid degradation of cells or in a worst case scenario, even the risk of it becoming a fire hazard.

    I only know the basics when it comes to BMS' and batteries, as I ride PEV's, but i'm no pro. So anyone who has more knowledge in this area, please feel free to correct me. I'm always happy to learn and I'm happy to be proven wrong. I just want people to be safe. And as i've seen effects of battery fires before, I'd rather others skip that riveting experience. 

    Thanks all.

      PTC v74

      Massive latency spikes in VD  on quest 3

      Massive Frame drops  in VD on quest 3

      Not in PTC at all, yet V74 pushed out to my Quest, unable to roll back, despite 3 hard resets.

      Same issues with airlink, latency and frame drops.

      Nothing to do with my system, i7 1200k, Z690 gigabyte gaming, 4070ti super, 64gb ram DDR4 4000, all drives SSD, dedicated ax6000 router, internet FFTD at +1.0 GB.

      It was flying along before Meat Squet messed up with V74

        My guessing they will release the new V74 next week or the end of the month.

        unable to enter passthrough mode after updating to v74 build 5070966.11190.510

        restarting the Q3 fixes it but still annoying
