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!

Having problems switching from main profile to 2nd account on both Q3 and Q2. Headsets lock up on both units since I got V74 and will crash to primary account home environment. Menu will not work and i can only preform a hard reset.

I posted in another thread about v74 and airlink and pclink issues. unfortunatley after updating my Q3 headset became locked to 72hz even though the meta quest link app was set to 120hz. I confirmed this by running Oculus debug tool which showed fps locked to 72, just to make sure it wasnt user error I tried a factory reset but it made no difference, in the end oping out of PTC and rolling back to V72 fixed it and Oculus debug tool is now showing 120 fps when running in airlimk at 120hz.

 

TLDR; Update V74 Locks Q3 headset to 72hz when in link mode.

You can now add a Browser page as an app to the Library under All.

Browser menu (3 dots), add this page to your library selection, and make sure the URL has Netflix.com/browse and add. It would be listed in the library under the All.

Netflix app that no longer supported actually letting me go directly to the browser form? I'm guessing they made a fix for it to go directly to the browser

I updated to v74 and I'm experiencing the following issues:

  1. Wireless connection issues with PrismXR Puppis S1 – I'm getting lag, even though I never had connection problems before. I used to play via Steam Link with the AV1 codec at 120FPS in high resolution without any quality loss.
  2. Meta Quest Link locked at 72Hz – Even though I set it to 120FPS using the Debug Tool, the performance panel shows it's running at 72FPS, and the lower frame rate is very noticeable.
  3. Air Link connection instability – I need to attempt the connection more than twice before it works.
  4. Unable to install APK files from unknown sources – I can now only install them via ADB from a PC.
  5. HorizonOS screen flickering – The interface randomly disappears and reappears.

These issues only started after the v74 update.

While I'm still on non-ptc v72 with both my QPro and Q3, I did try the meta-link app beta v74 today.  I didn't see any improvements and it seemed to have a few more stutters.  So, back to non-beta v72 I went and now all's well again.

Between the number of issues currently raised with ptc v74 I wouldn't be surprised to see another version bypass to v75 in the near future.  Time will tell I guess.
