v.77 PTC Release Thread

A further update within PTC v77. Still hand tracking doesn't re-enable when you exit Link.

Today I helped update non-ptc v77.1026 and meta link pc app v77.0.0.574.329 for a flight/racing sim buddy on 2x win11 PC's, both using Link.  One is a Q2/rtx2080s with Kuject powered link cable (mainly used with racing sims), the other one a Q3/512Gb/rtx3090 (mainly used with flight sims) with the official link cable connected to the z390mb usb3.2 gen2 type c port.  Both using these same ODT settings, which I also use for Link and Air Link;

Both using meta-link graphics at 80Hz refresh rate.  Res slider at 1.2x for rtx3090 and 1.1x for rtx2080s (I use 80Hz and full right 1.4x with my rtx4090).  Also, win11 graphics disabled HAGS (hardware acceleration graphics) and turned game mode = off.  Nvidia control panel global 3D settings all defaults except power = prefer max performance and quality textures Quality default changed to High Performance.

After testing with a few sims (Q3 with msfs 2020 and Q2 with Assetto Corsa) all was working very well.  I found it interesting to see a rainbow colored link startup with both of these, then going to the usual white with black gridline void.  I don't currently see this with my QPro or Q3 headsets, but they both still end up ok in the same meta link home void.

I really like that v77.1026 stationary boundary has the Large option (~2x the size of the older one).  This now works fine with Q2/Q3/QPro headsets.  Thanks Meta! 

So, if you're having issues, I think it's best to get some local help.  Even if it costs you a free lunch and/or a good bottle of something, lol!  Cheers.

In your testing - do you still have the issue where hand tracking stops working if you connect to link - requiring a restart?

I've put this in several bug reports for various PTC yet it remains in the latest PTC 77 I am on, and the nonPTC v77 that was released.

Xypheron  Sorry I can't say because I never use hand tracking (standalone or PCVR). 

So far all my Quest touch controllers, including my Pro controllers seem to be working fine.  The Pro controllers do occasionally need a bit of waving around to get them to track properly if I've put them aside while playing flight sims like msfs 2020 when I only use flight control sticks.  This has always been the case, for me anyway, lol!

TomCgcmfc Congrats to you for getting "X below" UI and the new animation while staring apps. The only difference between standard apps and Link is the additional white Meta infinity symbol. 

Also confirming new updates to the Meta Quest Link desktop app (same version) and another to v77.1026 firmware, while it's build 5097426.9710.520 now. 

Everything works fine with my Q3/512 but didn't check that with Q2/64... prooved that with the demanding "ImmersiX" which ist mostly for free (only one DLC cost a little) and some "The Room VR" (Oculus version).

THANK YOU for adding TTS as an accessibility feature! Honestly this was the missing feature needed to complete my VR experience. As a visually impaired person, these kinds of features are a game changer. You rock Meta team! 

Earlier today I got another non-ptc v77.1027 update (including firmware) on both my Q3 and QPro.  I now get that pretty multi-colored panel when Link or Air Link starts up, followed very quickly to the usual meta-link grided void. 

All seems to be working fine but my QPro is still wireless bitrate limited to ~240-280mbps.  No big deal for me since I only use my QPro with a Link cable and it easily gets 750-800mbps dynamic bitrate.  Still, something that meta needs to fix asap imho.  

No bitrate limiting issues with my Q3 though. 

I've been having some issues with le audio. One being bad latency between 350-450ms. Also another problem is one of my headphones requires le audio to be toggled on before it's connected but meta menu only allows the le toggle to be used after the headphone is connected.

What

My device is using qcc5181 Bluetooth chipset but the latency is very bad in le audio mode. 350-450ms
