v20 PTC PC Software Release Notes

[ShowbizDonkey]

Update 8/19/20: We've added a couple additional items (Recording in-VR and Tracking) to these release notes that were note included in the original post.

Update 8/10/2020: We just released another update to the PTC. This update contains a fix for an Oculus Link mic issue that some users were experiencing. As always, please let us know if you run into anything unexpected with this new PTC update! Thanks! 

Recording in-VR

• We’ve improved in-VR recording by adding an image stabilization feature. This enhancement will reduce unwanted motion that can happen when looking around in-VR while streaming.

Tracking

• We’ve enhanced rendering stability for Rift S to improve head tracking.

Oculus Link

• Users are now able to hide the ‘Activate Oculus Link’ modal. You can always enable Oculus Link from the Settings > Quick Actions menu.

Woohoo!

V20, nice big round number! Gotta be something exciting here. Wait a minute, is this it?

Oculus Link

• Users are now able to hide the ‘Activate
  Oculus Link’ modal. You can always enable Oculus Link from the Settings
  > Quick Actions menu.

I don't have a Quest (or link) and so far my hardware is working fine so why this?

Dear Oculus, please consider 2 releases of software so that Rift users don't have to panic when they realise a new "update" is available. Rift users get zero benefit from all these Quest extras.

This update still does not fix the gray window on pinned displays that has been happen since December of last year.

because theres just one usb driver for both devices, so they can fix quest and break something in rift that will be fixed in next releases so they can avoid european law that obligue to support a device for 2 years after release

still cannot use my rift s since 2 days. stopped working from one day to the next. hoped that v20 will fix some issues, but i guess i am too optimistic

Is there a option to Link always on by default if Link cable is connected?

[Orkel]

Ah yes. Another update for the Quest.

Rift S bugfixes and improvements and new features when? 2025?

Sell your Rift S and wait for the next Quest (should be announced soon)  😉

See, here's the problem with that statement, there isn't anything better than Oculus at this moment in time, the only other that is as good is the Valve Index. WMR isn't on par with Oculus software wise, HTC Vive Cosmos... no, Pimax? Heard too many software complaints, etc.
