Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v78 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 v78:

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 v78" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v78 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!

    Hey offbeatkid,

     

    Thanks you for this thread!

    I have a serious design issue here with the session behavior. If I get it well, sessions have 2 options :

    • Setting a passcode, then no timeout is applied 
    • Disabling passcodes and have only 15 minutes timeout. 

    What about having a "no timeouts" option with no passcodes ?

    In both cases, I think this is relaying on the fleet admin to decide which strategy he/she wants to apply on it.

    Example : Imagine we have a demo app on 20 headset for our visitors and they are not very comfortable with VR. 

    Asking them to enter a password with hand tracking enabled is not viable for anybody : visitors have a bad experience with VR and staff will continuously asked to enter passwords all day. (= Bad business for both)

    Disabling passcodes will need to redraw guardian every 15 minutes of inactivity. This is a complete hell situation for the staff and visitors.

    Enterprises are paying for HMS licences, let them customize session parameters!

    What do you think about it?

     

    See ya,

    Since this new universal menu came out, you can not buy any in game items. When you try to buy something in a game (e.g. Battle talent) you get sent to the main page of the meta horizon store, instead of the item purchase site. The second problem that comes with this, you can not close it. The only way to close it is by searching the game on this windows and then starting the game, but the audio just bugs out if you do so.

    Please fix this.

    No, it’s just part of Korean internet culture.

    When we’re truly wishing for someone’s downfall or making the strongest level of protest, we sometimes use a photo of an old grandma.

    V78 has no substantial updates and appears to have serious memory overflow issues. I have experienced multiple crashes while playing Beat Saber, showing insufficient memory to run. This has never happened before, and my device still has 20g of remaining storage space, so I think it can only be a problem with running memory. Additionally, there may be lagging when booting up.

    Another important thing is that I still haven't received the update push from the navigator. Isn't it deserved to be the first to experience new features after enduring and reporting bugs for Meta in PTC?But now even the official version of V77 is equipped with a navigator, while V78 PTC is still struggling with new issues, which is disappointing.

    Quest Pro's PCVR streaming is still broken in v78 (200mbps cap). This issue has persisted since v76 - 3 months ago! This is unacceptable, I feel scammed!

    Literally everyone with a Quest Pro in my circle I have talked to has complained about this issue.

    I've had multiple game developers teach me how to block certain meta domains to prevent the headset from auto-updating, IF this issue ever gets resolved. 

     

    I've even seen people try to rationalize this decision as being on purpose. What? 

    "Prevent higher bitrates so that the GPU artifacts less during video decoding." Why am I getting MORE artifacts? This makes no sense.

    They actually fixed the Quest Pro Wi-Fi speed limiting bug with a PTC update today.  I am sad it took 3 months, but I am very happy Meta fixed this.  Now I can use 400mbps h264+ on Virtual Desktop again!

    Just updated to v78.1028- reset all my wi-fi equipment and the headset and my PCVR streaming speeds are still capped at a max of 200 mbps, this needs to be addressed ASAP, it's been 3 months now. A quarter of a year.

    Make a public statement addressing the issue, at least- so we know you're aware of the issue, please.
