    I sent a detailed feedback report using the Feedback Tool, but I'll echo my issue here:

    When opting into PTC v24, Link ceases to function for me. When in the Rift PC software, my Quest2 still registers and has a green checkmark. But if I try a USB speed test, or when I try to launch Link from my QUest2, I get a 'PC/Q2 not detected' error.  I'm using a 3rd party cable (OQLink 13ft')

    Rolling back to v23 enables Link to function as it normally does.

    Thanks !

    Don't know what you was trying to fix with this but ever since I installed this version Oculus app has been complaining there is no audio from the headset until I disconnect the USB and reconnect it, it was fine under v23. I'm using a Rift s

    Generally, they're not trying to fix anything. This is a "Test" version for the next release.
    As always, if you find a problem, use the "Help Centre" to give feedback.

    Someone missed the point.
    it seems every time Oculus fixes something/add functions for Quest/Qest2 it breaks Rift/Rift s functions which is the whole point of test version to find out these things

    Will there be an update that will allow us to go past 500 bitrate in the debug tool? I still notice compression at higher resolutions on the Quest 2 at a distance.

    500Mbps. But actual max bitrate is 288Mbps now. And even if we use high bitrate, color banding? is very noticeable.

    I want more encode resolusion width. It makes big difference.

    It looks like that changing this setting does nothing. I can not notice any difference...

    It makes clear difference in complex scene. We can see difference even link home. Let's look at forest. There are many noises on default setting. But higher setting, we can see each tree object clearly.

    Anyone checked Bluetooth?
    Last iteration of v23 introduced a BT bug for me.
    Makes sound on Ironlights very delayed and makes blocks in Beatsaber lag/missed frames.
