So a survey was conducted to answer 2 questions of many owners Meta Quest Ask yourself: “How are updates distributed? And” How do I get them quickly? “

How are updates provided?

Updates of Search Group and are published approximately step by stepUnderstand Meta Does not trigger a global update of all headsets at once. Zuckerberg’s company operates a limited number of devices that allow for upgrades, and this number is increasing day by day. This method is placed to guarantee a certain security, even if it scares more than one user. So, if there is a problem with the first group to receive the update, Meta Distribution may be interrupted while fixing defects and errorsIn order to block millions of users Search More problems than they already have on their helmets. While the approach may seem brilliant, wouldn’t it be nice to end up with updates that are less and better than Eternal Guinea pigs? We will leave you alone as judges of this judgment. It always has Updates can only be obtained if your helmet is included in such or such an activation group.

Not every group is connected to a specific geographical area (US, Europe, Asia), allowing developers to quickly find out if the update is compatible with all languages. Also, tell it to yourself Being able to download the new version very quickly does not mean that the next version will be delivered to you quickly.. It is better that you are part of the last group than the first group of questionable updates. Why is that? Who will be the last to install first நிலைபொருள் The chances of benefiting from a non-standard version are high and will have to wait for the next iteration (or to disable some features) to fix the situation ; If it is not part of the first panel of the next update, then it is also non-standard (unfortunately wrong).

Finally, you can install the latest update, but without the features (eg: Hand Tracking 2.0) Meta You have the right to enable or disable advertised features! So you really, and in a real way, have the functions installed on your helmet, but a red light (located on the servers Meta) Prohibits the use of them until the group you belong to approves. It works both ways, you can disable the enabled feature Meta He believes there are still a lot of things to fix. Remember when exiting Meta Quest 2, We can attach a hard drive or USB key to our device in order to stream its contents. But the device was later removed, deactivated again before being placed, then re-placed, but allowing copy / paste and not streaming. But how do you know if a particular feature is enabled or disabled? Currently, there is no core or independent software that has the tools and software to do this Meta.

Generally, the deployment of updates takes 3 to 5 daysThis can last a long time in the event of problems or large-scale implementation difficulties Feature. If you are interested in getting new features Before others, we know how many of you are in this case. You can join TPC (General Test Channel) By following the steps below:

  • Launch the Oculus mobile app;
  • Make sure your Oculus mobile app is V136 or later (by pressing the “Menu” button you will see your version number at the bottom of your screen);
  • Make sure your headset is connected to the app via Bluetooth;
  • From the More menu, press “Devices”, then “Advanced Settings”;
  • Tap the General Test Channel (PTC translation) and turn on the switch;
  • Your headset is now ready to preview the next update.

Note that the beta channel is only open to a few participants. So, once in the advanced settings, If you see the following message: “The public test channel program is full”, it means you have to wait until the seats are available. This distribution channel works just like the official updates. Note that being used accurately to check for errors increases the risk of errors in this system (see here V39 Beta, for example). It should only be done if you are not bothered by nature.

That’s it, now you know how to get updates quickly and especially why and how Meta Sort them out. Do not hesitate to spread this message around you so that good words can spread on forums or social networks.
