Quest build v39 release notes

I am PTC member and I still haven’t seen the Virtual Workspace options in settings yet. Any timetable as to when we can expect that Ryanality ?

I was last on PTC v39 before I left that channel to get normal updates again. The PTC program has since been full and not joinable for me.

Will I be getting this normal release even though it's the same version number, v39? Or do I have to wait until v40?

I just really want to get back on normal software to see if my PTC issues are fixed.

Since the Quest 2 automatically installed this update I can't control the refresh rate anymore. It is hard locked to 72hz and all options to change that are gone. Doesn't matter if it's native on the Quest 2 or using airlink. Everything is locked to 72hz. Also the screen sometimes stays black. This update absolutely made things worse. It's horrible.

I can't believe they pushed the update with so many people reporting the 72Hz issue in the PTC thread, guess I'm still not enabling wifi until this issue is resolved properly, so glad I didn't do any updates and stayed off wifi, these sort of botched rollouts of updates have become far too common and are seemingly amateurish for such a large company.

When can we expect Windows 11 support? I waiting months now for upgrade to win11. Oculus is the only thing holding me back.

v39 is blocking access to the device serial number instead returning just a string of "unknown". This is problematic for us and any other developers that use the the serial number to authenticate with their backend platforms.

This is the code snippet that has historically been used that no longer works with v39:

AndroidJavaObject jo = new AndroidJavaObject("android.os.Build");
string serialNumber = jo.GetStatic<string>("SERIAL");

Can you confirm what version of Android v39 uses and whether there is some other way to obtain the serial number?

Does the v39 software update say v39.

My headsets just did a software update from v38 to a subsidiary of v38.

I am asking this because I still do not have app sharing where I can use them simultaneously between headsets 

I also just love how they can’t be bothered to respond to any of our posts. Why oh why is Facebook/Meta/Oculus developer support always so terrible? It’s not like they’ve had 16 years to get better at it…. 

OK, I got v39 (public release, not ptc) earlier today on my Q2/rtx3090.  Version 39.0.0.88.336.363807235

It did take a while (~20-25 minutes) to download the update, restart, update the headset firmware, then each controller firmware.  All seems to work fine in the Quest home.  Panels are a little bigger and I can only make them bigger by moving them upward a bit from the dashboard menu.  Browser panels are still easy to move and resize though.  Clarity seems about the same as v38 (always hoping for improvements, lol!).

I'm using the current v39 PTC on my Oculus Desktop pc app.  I've only tested this out with Air Link so far but everything seems to be working fine (including all Q2 refresh rates are showing up). 

I did notice that my Air Link dynamic bitrates were down quite a bit.  With my rtx3090 I normally use 200mbps Dynamic and when I review my win10 task manager it usually said I was getting about avg 150mbps (varies a bit from 140-160).  Now with v39 this results in about avg 100mbps (varies from 90-110). 

I did try using 200mbps Fixed and win10 reported about 170-180mbps.  Unfortunately this was very unstable.  I needed to take this down to 130-140mbps Fixed to get better stability, but I still got the odd stutter.  Enabling the new ODT mobile asw afi made this all worse so I've disabled it for now. 

I'm just sticking with 200mbps Dynamic for now since this is giving me the most stable, stutter-free results.  I don't think there's a lot of difference in clarity/artifacts but maybe not quite as good a v38.  Hopefully Meta support can improve v39 with a few more minor updates.  Either that, or maybe wait forv40, lol!

Just a quick v39 update since this post;

After playing with a few settings (Oculus Desktop app, ODT, and OTT) I've managed to get my Q2/rtx3090 working much better, with Quest v39 and the Oculus desktop app v39ptc.  I also noticed that using Air Link 200mbps dynamic bitrate, and monitoring the win10 task manager over time showed that the bitrate actually increased quite a bit after running apps a little longer.  I reviewed a number of different apps/sims now and I can actually see some minor clarity improvements, without any increases in artifacts.  All silky smooth and without any stutters.  Thank goodness because I thought for a while I was going to have to go back to either Virtual Desktop, or tethered, with a link cable, lol!

I have 2 headsets. One one headset, V39 has taken away by ability to multitask. I can no longer have the 3 side-by-side windows. On the second headset when device is turned on, it shows the meta logo and then dark screen with 3 white dots, then the dots turn gray and the screen remains gray. There is audio but no display. I did a factory reset but it still does the same thing every time device is turned on.  I have contact support twice and they have not been able to help me and suggested I post here. The only other “solution” they ever offer is to perform a factory reset (and that didn’t work because the problem is V39)
