The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest and Quest 2 v43 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 alsosend in bug reportsalong with posting here if you notice anything going wrong.
Thanks to everyone testing out PTC and sharing your feedback! We appreciate your help testing out the core functionality of software as we develop!
I thought I'd try Pavlov VR and go for some of the smaller maps with less people on them.
But now I keep getting a lot of 'Authentication Timed Out' messages when trying to join servers, about 75% of the time it fails. It's never been like this.
Hi everyone, there's a fix for the CPU usage issue which some people are experiencing that's being tested right now. It's going to roll out gradually so that the team can monitor its performance. Keep an eye out for the PC build 43.0.0.188.173 which has the potential fix. If you don't have it yet, just wait a few more days and check again (I don't have the exact timeline for 100% deploy since it'll depend on how performance goes, but it shouldn't be too long).
I tried to send feedback via Oculus App just in case it would provide some usefull info to developers, but feedback functions seems to fail. I get error message when I'm closing the app.
Great to hear! I'll let the team know. If anyone else is still having trouble after getting the new build, go ahead and try logging out and back in and see if that does the trick.
Thanks for reporting and testing with us, everyone!
The issue is only with the Oculus account, when I used the Facebook account to log in with the Oculus app the issue was fixed. CPU usage with Oculus account is still 70%!
I wanted to report an annoying bug when setting bitrate for Airlink. It will throttle down to 23 mps and shoot back up to the 150 range causing it to feel like your hitting a brick wall. Easy workaround is using the debug tool and manually setting bitrate. Hopefully this helps others. Happy Gaming!!
This thread is for the public test build of V43. V43 should be rolling out to users as we speak if it hasn't already. There's an article on how to update your Quest software here.
You need to opt into the PTC for Quest software. Once you're enrolled, and confirmed as enrolled into the PTC, your headset should automatically be receiving updates from the development branch instead of the release branch. There's no links to downloads, access to PTC is on an opt-in basis and is done automatically.
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're inquiring about and this isn't regarding the PTC.
If you're in the test group and want to update to a release version of the software instead, you'll need to opt out of the PTC and wait until the next release version hits your headset. There isn't currently a way to roll back updates or install release builds over a PTC build
FYI, I received v44 today on my PC (Headset is still on v43) and my favorite game Virtual Pinball VR is not working anymore. Regular PC VR Apps are working fine. Hopefully things will be better when my headset updates.
Update, sorry the issue was with my VP software and not with v44
v44 just showed up on my Quest 2 this morning. Besides some minor tweaks to showing the button icons instead of oculus/menu buttons and referring to them as Meta Quest apps, I can’t say I’ve noticed anything else that’s different yet.
