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!

    I always end up talking to a real person when I need help from support.

    However, friends and family always get the run around when they try.

    Seems having some technical knowledge and a decent attitude goes a long way in getting escalated to an actual person, as I've assisted most of my friends in getting their issues resolved after their initial try with nothing but success stories.

     

     

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

    christinaHAWAIIThis won't help. Meta has taken care of this and the software will update itself in some time. Read carefully what is written under the update information.

     

    This can only be completely prevented by disabling the update application over ADB:

     

    adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oculus.updater

    Please resolve the download speed limit issue of Quest Pro as soon as possible. 

    I can't do anything in a game that needs a lot of movement unless I lower the bitrate to 70. 

    Before V76, I was playing at 400 bitrate with no issues.

    It's very frustrating that there is no official answer to this problem, and that the problem that occurred in V76 has persisted into V77.

    "Oh for crying out load will you lot just shut up about my poor little Quest Pro is so SLOWWW...!! Just throw it in the bin and go and buy yourself a Nice, Shiny, New Quest 3 and keep good old Zuc in the lap of luxury, besides that Quest Pro is 2 and half years old now so it's now classed as RETRO hardware, it belongs next to your Atari 2600 collecting dust!"

    Also don't you read the News, Meta just got rid of a **bleep** load of people from Reality Labs and i'd bet that amongst them was the people that dealt with Quest Pro problems. ? So you think you've got it bad ? Get a Job at meta and it only lasts 2 years as your thrown out with the old hardware.! lol

    Sorry guys for the sarcastic post, just trying to lighten the mood, I feel your pain I too have a Quest Pro (also a Q3 but that's not the point) and you'd expect a device that set you back over £1000 would have a longer shelf life ?  Let's hope they fix it soon.?

    After my personal experience with Google Stadia, I am always worried about cool technology that works great getting the axe!

    In V77 on both my Q3 and QPro, when you close a window it now "falls away" from you as its fading. Nice effect, I think.

    May 2, 2025

    JeffNik  it's a bit of a trade-off. One nice effect = two broken previously working features.

    Do not update to v76 or v77

    To Meta: It was incredibly irresponsible to greenlight a PTC in this state. I realize it was a big jump to Android version 14, and there's more work to be done, but there are so many core features that are completely non-functional: Quest Pro is completely ****** for a lot of users because of the 200 Mbps bug, Wifi 7 locking up is also completely unacceptable, among many other bugs.

    What's worse is that v77 barely fixes any of this. The core bugs mentioned above are not fixed at all. It's been more than a month!

    I hate this "move fast break things" mentality; it just leads to people getting frustrated with their headsets, putting them down, and never picking them back up.

    Fix the volume. It became very quiet while watching the video. This has been observed since version 76.

    I've found v77 to be very very unstable, taking video in Horizon Worlds brings my headset to it's knees, Worlds is even more unstable that every single time I try to do anything outside of Worlds when it's open even editing my avatar causes serious lag, instability, crashes and forced reboots. I'm not sure which is the problem causer it could be both of them!
