v.77 PTC Release Thread

Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v77 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 v77:

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 v77" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v77 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!

      Hate to say I told you so...!! latest news is the Quest 4 for next year has been dropped in favor of a light weight pair of glasses to compete with googles/samsungs latest offering of controller free MR headset..!! This has been their course all along with this Navigator UI update (which in my opinion is total **bleep** for VR but ok'ish for MR) Hay Ho! truth be told the VR market is tiny compared to the Smart glasses market so no surprise that Meta will drop the Quest line totally in a few years ?! Well it was fun while it lasted ! 😞 Just a shame VR never really got it's chance in the sun ?

      People need to read the release notes regarding Navigator.

        OK, earlier today I got non-ptc v77.1026 updates on both my QPro and Q3/512Gb headsets.  I also got non-beta v77.0.0.574.329 on the meta link pc app.  After a restart on both headsets I now have the new ui with x-below.  Tested a few standalone games and PCVR games/sims (meta link store, VivePort, and Steam) with Link and Air Link are all working very well. 

        However, my QPro still has its wireless bitrate limit throttled down to around 240-280mbps using Air Link and h.264.  No big deal for me since I only use my QPro with a Link cable and can easily get 750-800mbps bitrate with dynamic bitrate Max set to 900mbps.  Still, something that Meta eventually need to address asap.

        Don't know about Navigator since it's not really a feature that interests me right now.  Main thing for me is that all my standalone games and PCVR games/sims are working well.  Cheers.

          Just got V78 PTC update, and incredibly the Quest Pro Wi-Fi speed limiting bug is STILL not fixed!  I have to have reported this well over a dozen times, yet the issue made it to the official release in both V76 and in V77.  And now V78 PTC is here and this bug is still present.  I guess Meta just ignores bug reports?  I don't understand the point of PTC if bug reports are going to be ignored.

                dobkun  if you would have read the release notes, you would know that it can take MONTHS until you get it.

                Rollout details

                Navigator will begin rolling out as a limited test to some people on our Public Test Channel (PTC) with v77 and is expected to roll out gradually to all users over the coming months. This is just the beginning of a broader evolution of Horizon OS. We’ve got much more planned for the future of spatial computing.

                  Not getting feedback on this test channel is strange is there a better to transfer meta valuable user feedback ?
                  For example, the navigator needs to have an handle to grab and move closer, don't forget hand interaction, it's currently too far to interact with our hands.
                  Please advise

                  Updated to v77, headset no longer charges past 75%

                  Using original charge block and cable.

                   

                  I know just enough about tech to look like I know what I'm doing.
