My desktop Oculus PC software updated to v59 last night however my Quest 3 still says no update available on v57. I've found having mismatched versions between PC and HMD to be a recipie for bad performance in the past, haven't done extensive testing here though and it seems fine.
Not looking for a specific soltuion with this post, I am providing feedback that the rolling release update scheudle needs to be better managed, it's confusing at best and frustrating when situations like I listed above cause performance issues. I would propose some of these process changes to help the community:
- Let people opt into getting it first, similar to Microsoft with Windows updates if they so choose. I am not speaking about PTC with this comment, that's a different option which someone must acknowledge installing pre-release software. The option to be the first to get release software would be preferable in many situations
- Ensure PC/Headset updates are aligned regionally and avoid version mismatching and compatiblity/perforamnce issues.
- Provide more transparency on the process. Example: "We start out deploying X region first, followed by Y, etc, and typically wait Z days before starting the next region if there's no major deployment issues"
Thank you.
