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!

        The issues with quest PC link seemed  to start with v76. sometimes it works, but once I reboot pc I go into the same cycle, in headset it says its connected, I click on connect and it goes into a screen on headset of a colour field with meta logo and the three dots. it stays in same state for a while then changes to a black screen with meta logo before I eventually have to quit. It then goes back to my homescreen and I have to try all over again. PLEASE meta listen to the community, something broke link in v76, please ensure that v77 fixes these issues. A large proportion of quest users use it for PCVR, not just a standalone.

          offbeatkid Are you ever gonna give us an offical statement about the download issues on Quest Pro? Like we know about it and are working on a solution or anything? Like cmon I know you prioritize but this is is ridicioulus exceptionaly so as the support team has no clue about the problem. Its also affecting regular wifi aswell with stutter n such

          Kind Regards

            Dear Meta,

            you have pushed the v76 in April and completely ruined the experience in PCVR for almost everyone. You have done a hotfix 2 days ago still under v76 but I couldn't test for more than 10 min and see if the disconnection issue has been solved because you destroyed the frame pacing. My settings are the same as before but it stutters every 5 seconds and the game is unplayable.

            At this point I am lost for words, I keep the headset on the table as a paper weight. 

            I have never in my life spent over 700 euro for a product, original accessories, including 100 euro for a cable, just to troubleshoot more than I actually use it. At least having a public acknowledgment and timeline for fixing the issue would calm some of us down, but there is absolute silence and this makes me think the only option is to sell and go buy from someone else.

            To reiterate, this was the most frustrating tech experience I have yet encountered... and I remember the days of win 98... so that's something.

              Seit dem Update von MetaOS V76 funktioniert das layout DEUTSCH nicht mehr, obwohl in den Einstellungen Physische Tastatur unter Geraete das Layout DEUTSCH  vorhanden ist und angeklickt ist.

               

              Since the update of MetaOS V76 the GERMAN layout no longer works, although the GERMAN layout is present and clicked in the Physical Keyboard settings under Devices.

              Got a micro update to the Windows Desktop App v76 and (Air-)Link is **bleep**ed up...
              Sorry for the harsh words, but what's up with you guys from Meta?

              Fix it immediately!

              No version number change, stayed at 76.0.0.452.315... but for now, (Air-)Link is not usable anymore 😞
              Good, that there is SteamLink, which works... much more stable than I thought.

              Updated to v77 on my Quest 3 about two Weeks ago. Now my Internet Speed is way slower, Voice Chat keeps breaking so my Buddies can't understand a Word i'm saying, Apps keep crashing or starting by themselves constantly, also constant Freezes and Glitches when opening the Meta Menu while in a Game, Headset-Tracking Problems every few Minutes throwing you out of Games, when Recording Gameplay i get extreme Freezes/Lags, the Headset is way hotter on the top middle Part then it was before (are the Fans turned off? as i can't hear them at all now), even though the Headset is plugged in i keep losing Charge while before it just dropped to around 78-83% and stayed there, Preview-Play on Video Thumbnails like on Youtube when using the Browser don't work correct anymore, and so on.....

              At least, Games don't auto-install themselves after uninstalling them, anymore... What an Upside. 🙃

              Since v70+, using wired earphones with a USB-C adapter breaks the microphone, especially when charging.
              But it got way worse in v77!

              use OculusKiller instead, it takes up less ram than the default link Dash BTW
