Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v72 is starting to roll out soon for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S.

If you're seeing an issue or bug after updating to PTC v72:

1) For issues: Go to our Get Help board and search for any existing thread on the issue, if you don't find one, make a new thread. Please add the tag "PTC v72" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v72 issues too.

2) For bugs: If you come across a bug, please post each one you spot in its own thread, to keep track of individual issues separately.

Share your impressions in the comments below and let us know if you see any issues.

Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting on the forums if you notice anything going wrong.

We know it's tough when you run into a problem on a PTC build and want to thank you all again for testing out PTC and sharing your feedback! This feedback is extremely helpful to our engineering teams. We appreciate your interest and persistence in testing out the core functionality of software as we develop!

Got the update a few minutes ago. Looked around settings, couldn't find much new. Still no keyboard passthrough feature. My controllers did get updated with v72 tho, just to add in.

Just installed v72 however i don't see any other changes to speak of.  I understand that there are many upgrades and changes with OS, wonder if that is something that is going to be rolled out incrementally?. Anyhow, I will let you know when i see the changes.

What about v71 final? What is going on here ?! I was still on v71 PTC with zero changes and now i get v72 PTC with zero changes. Could you please release a patch with all features, a normal changelog and setup a discord with a bug forum. I really get the feeling that this is a weekend project from some college kid with spare time.

I don't view any visible changes. Only update hand controllers. I will wait to view the changelog summary

I received PTCv72 on my QP yesterday and only noticed the following changes so far:

1. New splash screen image at bootup.

2. Skybox images in the home environments have been changed back to the previous 3 skyboxes. 

 

Is there any chance at getting a hint at what the PTC might include? I understand its a staggered rollout and we might not get all the features. 

 

Thanks for the new PTC!

72版的為什麼會變成外部安裝的APP遊戲畫面,變成無法點選!導致無法執行外部APP軟體?71的時候還都很正常啊!是不是Bug啊?

+1 here as well, I have v71 update since for about 10 days now but no visible changes(new settings view, etc), and now just got v72 update with only change being the name of the operating system added to the boot screen. I've factory reset my device twice now and it's quite frustrating.

@DwightMc25 
what have ptc-users to do, to change this ptc-testingsystem, where you are on ptc but acutally don't test many announced new features, because they are rolled out so gradually that you don't get them through the whole ptc-testperiode?

who thinks this is a good system at all?

Will it fix the issue where some games crash after random actions

Just updated to PTC v72 and everything seems to be fine so far. Going to tinker around a bit more tomorrow!

Cheers for the thread! 🙌

 

Are they rolling out connecting the Quest Pro Controllers within the headset in v72?... Depending on my lighting I switch between Q3 and Pro controllers and it's a pain using the mobile app.....

 

I heard it was coming in v71 but hasn't arrived.....

This release brought an important regression that severely affect Wolvic. As it can be seen [in this comment](https://github.com/Igalia/wolvic/issues/1631#issuecomment-2491121254), our main thread gets stuck on a `dequeueBuffer` call as soon as the browser starts a WebXR session. The very same APK does not have any issue in v69 or v71 (neither in previous releases as that code hasn't changed at all in the last couple of years).

We'll be happy to provide as much info as needed including the perfetto traces.

Just had an update to v72 of 1.34Gb. Have not seen any new features yet. The update is 72.0.0.368.

Origami4gamin_TTV

Wow the numbers GB have gotten higher, I'm surprised. 

Origami4gamin_TTV

There is a new rename in the setting and maybe a redesign that's in V71.600 as well PTC V72. The new changes are hidden in every sort of ways. From the mobile app functionality that connect to the headset, to the little specs, or even the settings you don't look at.

@DwightMc25 I hope this not going against posting it twice on a different thread. I'm just trying to give an example. Hope to try PTC V72

Hi, ever since the v72 version the warping of the passthrough camera has gotten worse again.  And still no features of v71. If i turn my head quickly the edges of the image start to zoom inwards towards the centre of my vision until my vision is back to normal. A bit difficult to explain but this is the best i can do.

 

version: 72.0.0.368.347.665705819

It seems like v72 (72.0.0.368.347.665705819) broke video decoding in browsers? Even when I go to youtube, the video stays in the same place on both built in browser and on wolvic (relevant issue if it helps) https://github.com/Igalia/wolvic/issues/1610#issuecomment-2493614375

Can we have a separate forum for PTC issues? I can't tag the issue PTC v72 in "get help", the forums are quite confusing to post in, could you clarify where those bug reports should go?

@FrozenAlex 

Put PTC v72 in the title when you open a thread in "get help" forum.

So it's easy to find when people search for PTC issues.

Can you guys please make PCVR easier to engage with.

There's NO NEED for us to have the now 4-5 year old Rift S home running eating up system resources, just for steam vr. Y'all can make PCVR accessible and choose not to? bring quest 3's pcvr access into a modern setting, please!

Icons are smaller on the full screen mode (window layout). And disappear if not hover over it.

@FrozenAlex I'm trying to understand what is the issue fully on videos on YouTube not working? I'm seeing no issues, as of right now

I do love the new UI on the shutdown and restart screen.

@FrozenAlex Ok well I don't use Bluetooth headphones very often. I'll try it tomorrow and see If I can get the same results.

When I click on “Cancel and power off”, it takes me back to the home environment.

Seems like the top of the windows close, minimize, and fullscreen buttons are cut off slightly at the top and bottom. Is this intentional? doesn't look like it...

New splash seems eh, the meta logo rotating alone was way cooler

Also can we have an option to keep the green ui? I liked it a lot

When starting up, after the new logo, I'm seeing Meta Horizon World Portal pop-up in the black abyss on the left. And a quick flash and disappeared of the new portal they talked about in the Convention.

YouTube audio sounds different from each other, I believe. Open windows layout in the browser, is different audio bass from keeping thee browser open as normal.

After a factory reset on PTC V72,  Passthrough is being moved

Still not like the 5 million windows that pop up.  several of us have requested a toggle button.  That would solve a lot of issues.  Also why do I have to keep redrawing boundaries after every update?  Other than that the new layout in settings seems easier to navigate.

Oh and please fix the edit button on here so we can edit instead of posting again but forgot to mention thank you thank you thank you for implementing the function for the photos and videos taken off of my Meta RayBans to automatically load onto the Quest 3.  That in itself saves me a lot of time, especially if I want to send multiple videos and photos over.

Thanks Meta for letting the icons apps on the dock bar to be able to be opened when pinched and moved anywhere on in our Passthrough. V71 and below was not able to do it. Now the browser can be open by a pinch and move.

Wouldn't it be cool to have colour themes so you could choose a color and it would automatically apply to the menu? It'd be better than the Grey to dark Grey colour scheme we have now. Also, a suggestion, when you open your menu in a game, instead of the game card opening automatically, have it pinned to the right so that your window configuration won't be messed up when you open your menu in a game, but still allow users to exit by pressing the game icon.

Also, the updating card in the shutdown menu hasn't been updated to the new UI...

I have tried wifi 6 5ghz which works well. But if I use 6e 6ghz every hour or two I get a message saying WiFi connection lost and any game I am playing soon fails or has issues like lack of voice chat. When will 6ghz 6e connections be stable?

@hatsuratsu  Nowhere in the first post does it mention testing new features. They want you to regression test existing functionality to see if they have broken something.

I quote: "We appreciate your interest and persistence in testing out the core functionality of software as we develop"

Also, there is no mention of testing new features on the PTC webpage: https://www.meta.com/en-gb/help/quest/articles/headsets-and-accessories/using-your-headset/quest-ptc...
