PTC v76 Release Thread

Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v76 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 v76:

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 v76" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v76 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!

    Thank you for chiming in on this issue. It was the same for me. Had to move to USB3 port on PCIe expansion card to get link to work again.

    I had been using the same cable on the same port for a year before this last update broke it. Prior PTC v76 updates didn't have this problem.

    It is a mystery now to figure out what they did within versions of v76 that somehow created selective issues with certain USB3 ports.

    I guess i cheered too soon. Same issues again - now on the β€žnewβ€œ port.

    Iβ€˜m sick of it…

    Hello, I installed the V76 today. It is version V76.1021. build 5091273.8150.520. I play with the Quest 3 mainly population.one.
    After installing the update, the font and weapon skins shake every time I move my head. It somehow looks like double images. Before the update everything worked fine.
    Can anyone confirm whether they have the same problem? Or does this only occur with my Quest 3?

    I received the upgrade to v76.0(14?) last night. I noticed 2 things immediately...

    • Volume in my JIB Earbuds drastically reduced to where I had to put headset volume up to max to hear anything]
    • Controllers stopped responding in some online videos.
      • controller didn't respond, but, if I tilted my head down, a gray dot with 9 white squares appeared. If I tilted my head up carefully, a white dot appeared and, if I hovered it over the white squares, it would expand and select the the squares. This opened the normal video control bar.
      • I still couldn't use the controllers on the video control bar. But, if I moved my head and hovered the white dot over what I wanted to select, it would expand then select the item.

    The controller issue only happens on some online videos, not all. The volume issue is consistent everywhere.

    Is this an upgrade issue?

    I don’t know, if it’s two images or if the lag is so high. But in general VR seems quite overloaded at that point - if I get it running.

    And due to the fact that a lot of people are reporting the same or similar issues, it’s clearly software-driven and not a hardware problem.

    TomCgcmfc Confirming all yours and add the update for the Q2 with v76.1021 and Build 5154084.7670.150. Also the Q3 controller were updated with 8150, as it was done with 1st release v76.2021 (6319).

    Everthing works as it shoud and yes, didn't find any differences except the good pcvr battery efficiency coming back πŸ‘

    florian.buchholz.1988 In the library you may use not "everthing and all" (9 squares on the left bar)... use "apps" (4 "squares") and it will display apps only, no worlds. It isn't that difficult... and you can't blame Meta for pushing "worlds" as it's the "next big ting" for them, not only on Meta devices. It's easy for everyone to ignore it. I'll do, until there is an "adault" mode where every "kid" will vanish forever.

    bowow i got v77 earlier on my quest pro, so only tested it on my quest pro.

    v77 is STILL BROKEN regarding max wifi-downloadspeeds on QUEST PRO

    openvrspeedtest shows ~400mbit/s max with v77 on quest pro (my quest 3 reaches 1600mbit/s on same network with 160mhz channelbandwidth)

    also, it look like v77 breaks changing the eyebuffer for the homeenvironment via qgo at least on quest pro. (maybe it gets fixed by anagan77, we will see, the games still seem to work with qgo)

    bowow hatsuratsu-b Confirming I have the exact same issue on my Quest Pro with v77 PTC. Wi-Fi speed is still COMPLETELY BROKEN. It's absolutely maddening and unbelievable that such a critical bug not only wasn't fixed from v76 but is being carried over, possibly even to the public release. I have ~zero confidence this will actually be fixed in v77. Sharing your frustration completely.

    can klburns give us ANY recognition of this problem? WIFI SPEED IS BUTCHERED and is Meta acknowledging the issue and working on a fix?
