The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest and Quest 2 v41 is starting to roll out. Let's use this thread for collecting feedback on it. Share your impressions and let us know if you see any issues. Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting here if you notice anything going wrong.
When sharing feedback, try to include as much detail as possible to help the team investigate.
First comment and first test Group I guess wohoo lucky me but uh yeah
I have been testing the setup room and I manged to brake it by adding to many objects that the walls started to disappear I have yet to do it again to see if it was a fluke.
The stutter is back on windows 11 with this version
I have the v41 downloaded and I don’t see any noticeable changes. Am I missing something? I got a couple of things that were supposed to be in v40 and I already had the room setup feature before I downloaded v41, so I am kind of scratching my head here…
Ok so after playing around with v41, I did notice some improvement with the latency issues and couple of othe but fixes. 😃 As for features, there is a new color space feature in experimental that lets you toggle between a "Natural" setting and a "Vibrant" setting. It also looks like they finally calibrated the "Room Setup - Experimental" feature to work in your Horizon Home! All of the items in my room that I mapped out, now register as active guardians in my Horizon Home, which makes it much easier to avoid bumping into things! This also makes it possible to add more than one couch and desk to your Horizon Home and have visual representations for all of them!
I love seeing advancements in our home space and it makes me even more excited for what's to come! Thank you Meta!
Hi there! We're glad to hear that you were able to see noticeable improvements. Comments like these are what make our job so enjoyable.
Please feel free to reach back out in the future if you are in need of any more assistance, as we would be more than delighted to help!
Happy gaming!
This release solved a significant latency issue I had with Airlink on Windows 11, great work thank you!
Sorry, about PC app PTC v41. It seems that PC app PTC v41 has Oculus Link bitrate limitation. So the max image quality is clearly worse than v40.
This is through the lens comparison between v40 900Mbps & v41 900Mbps.
I reported it to Amanda (software engineer of Meta). She said it was unintentional and she is looking into it to see if she can fix. Thanks. 😉
In v40 I set the bitrate to 955Mbps, and the Alex game feels very real. With the same settings in v41, you can see that the bitrate is forcibly set to 500Mpbs through the log of Oculus DebugTool. At this time, although it is difficult to directly see the difference in image quality, but the sense of realism has disappeared.
Yeah, and actually it's worse than v40 500mbps. 😞
v41 960Mbps looks like 300Mbps of v40.
I just went back to v40. The PTC v41 for PC app is missing the friends and chat tab in socials when you are in VR.
I’m just curious, but does anyone in this forum besides me, use there Quest 2 for Productivity/Workspace and/or Entertainment (Movie Watching, YouTube, & Social Media, etc) use? I don’t game all that much but my Quest 2 has already replaced my computer in a lot of ways. Can anyone else relate?
Absolutely!
It's the multimedia side of VR I'm cheering for.
Major live events in sports and music in particular.
Virtual test drives.
Comon future, I'm gettin old.

Movie watching & a bit of browsing, yes. I do game but don't have a ton of time. Curious how are you using it for productivity, is it Virtual Desktop or are there specific apps ?
Well for our agency, I use my Meta Quest Browser to access my Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Asana, Canva and my LinkedIn Sales Navigator. I also use my file viewer to view content we create, and the native Facebook and Instagram Apps to review our prospects and/or clients pages.
As for collaboration with others, I meet with the founder of our Agency in Horizon Workrooms every week and host Agency Partners as well from time to time. I am also a part of a Facebook Group that meets in Horizon Workrooms and co-works together every week. We workshop different ways to use VR for business and sometimes just work on our own projects in the same room, similar to going to a coffee shop with your laptop. I tend to have a hard time making these meetings because we try to find times that work with people in different times zones all around the world, but when I can make it, the experience is absolutely amazing! I am the only PTC member in our group, so I also post videos of me demoing up and coming features as they come out and lend my perspective on how it affects our objective to use our Quest 2 sets for our specific industries. I also do how to videos on how to use Horizon Workrooms.
I don't know many people that have already made the leap to using their Quest 2 as there daily computer like myself, but as things progress, more and more people are seeing this device as not just a viable option, but in ways has the potential to be a better one! I am hoping that Project Cambria changes the game and really is something that can compete with the type of computers we're all are accustomed to using!
Ryanality& MetaStoreHelp while we are on the subject, these are some of the things that would really help people like me who what to work in their Horizon Home:
All and all though, I love the progress I have seen so far and as I have said in my previous post, I am excited for what the future brings! 😃
I tried a few times to work in Excel using the web browser. I really need to have my PC. I'm waiting for VD to allow tracked keyboards and will try again. can you let me know how it replaced your computer?
- "Space Sense" is no longer available for me (which doesn't really make a difference, as the implementation of it sadly made it useless because static objects would show up - even with the distance settings). I hope Space Sense comes back in an improved version, where only moving "objects"/creatures show up + with proper distance units instead of bodyparts like feet etc.
- There is still no option to set the way the time should be displayed, so it still forces you to use the ambiguous system where you need to read numbers + letters like "AM" and "PM" instead of merely looking at the numbers like in e.g. 20:32.
Hey, Ryan. If you check out my history, I'm fairly active on these forums and am always jumping in to try new bleeding edge features - I've been a Oculus/Meta fan from the very beginning - I own a DK1. My app is saying the PTC is full, but is there any chance of putting me in? I would be a good addition to it, and would be able to provide a lot of feedback for you.
Hi, my quest 2 doesn't hold the battery for a day without being used. This never happened before. When I come back from work I have to recharge it. I don't even have time to enjoy it anymore :(.
Why do you leave it on
