I have updated my quest 3 headset to the latest version ,i.e v74. Still, I can't find any of the features it's supposed to come with. It's been 2 weeks now.

      I use mine mainly for pcvr and a lot of people are reporting that the link is stuck at 72hz on v74

      The easy workaround for now is to go into your meta link pc app settings/beta tab and enable the beta version.  This should take you to v74.0.0.675.347 and you will no longer be stuck at 72Hz refresh rate with Link or Air Link.  This workaround is working fine with both my Q3 and QPro, both on latest non-beta v74.  

      The final v74 for the meta link app should be rolled out soon and when it does you can simply disable the app's beta option and it will roll you back out of beta.  Might be worth waiting a week or two before checking if the final has rolled out yet.  No big hurry to need to do this imho.

      There's nothing unusual about not getting all the advertised features. Sometimes they don't get installed for several releases. Some never get installed. Some get installed for a few days, then get removed - usually forever.

      TheJ0rma  no need to rush getting the "remove" feature... it doesn't work properly anyway.🙄
      Removed apps are bouncing back to the library a few seconds after I remove them.
      BTW, I'm also still using v72.

      My headset decided to update on Saturday morning, so now I am on v74.

      I also just received the v74 update last night yet nothing changed and I have none of the features. I was looking forward to saving browser links such as my streaming services and have them stored as icons with my apps.

        Im dealing with the same thing, and I was so upset having to wait so long for the v74 update. Then I finally got it last night yet nothing changed at all. It looks the same and I have none of the new available features. I'm wondering what actually was done when my device updated.

        I received the v74 update yesterday (March 14).
        When I play on the main account, pressing the Meta button works as expected.
        Pressing it once opens the dashboard, pressing it again closes it.
        When I do the same with the second account and try to close the dashboard, the game crashes and I'm back in my home. Now, the dashboard won't open anymore.....pressing any buttons does nothing.

        I can't even get the pop-up window to restart the headset by pressing the power button.
        I have to turn the headset off completely and then turn it back on.
        I've submitted a bug report.

         

        I don't like the color scheme of v74 btw... but that's another story.😂

          Choleni  I only have one account so I can't test this.  Submitting a bug report is a good idea.  Maybe even contact meta support to let them know.

          I'm also not a big fan of the new v74 color scheme (tiles and dashboard).  Cheers.
