Rift SI 1.28 Now on Public Test Channel

Grand Champion
We've started rolling out the latest Rift SI version 1.28 to the Public Test Channel. Changes include support for nine new languages, and the release of new Oculus Avatars. Be sure to try placing the new Avatar Editor mirror in your Home, and take it with you for use in apps like Brass Tactics and Epic Rollercoasters.
  • New language support
    • We’ve added support across core software, including Dash, Oculus desktop app and Oculus Home, for the following languages: Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin American), Italian, Norwegian, and Polish.
    • You can change your language in the Oculus desktop app with the “Language Preference” option in the “General” tab on the “Settings” page.
  • Oculus desktop app
    • We’re starting to test personalized app recommendations on your Home Page.
    • We’ve added per-application language pack support for developers. As developers start to use this feature, you’ll see what languages are available for each application and set your specific language pack via the app’s Library detail panel.
  • Rift Core 2.0 Beta
    • We’ve upgraded the Oculus Avatars with new custom hair, skin shading, clothing, and eyewear designs. You can customize your avatar from within Home: select the “Avatar Editor” mirror from the “Special Items” category and place anywhere in your Home.
    • Developers who upgrade to the latest Avatar SDK will be able to utilize these new avatars in their apps.
June 29th Update:
We're rolling out some new features in the current Rift SI version 1.28 Public Test Channel release, including our first step towards multiplayer functionality in Home!
  • Rift Core 2.0 Beta
    • We're starting to roll out social features for Home. You can now invite people to your Home. Up to eight people can hang out in the same Home at a given time, and if you set your Home privacy to friends-only, your friends will be able to come over to your home whenever they'd like. For the initial release, your Home will be locked while you have guests. That means activities like editing your Home or playing with interactive objects are not supported in the current release. That said, we'll add more functionality to multiplayer over the coming months!
    • We've added experimental support for broadcasting your Oculus Desktop in multiplayer using the new Dash panel embedding feature. There are some technical limitations, which you can read about in the Rift Core 2.0 beta user guide.
    • New movement options are now available in Home. Check out your settings menu for a new “Movement” section where you can set up various options for moving around, including Walk Mode, Smooth Turning, and Snap Turning. While some of the new movement options like Walk Mode and Smooth Turning allow for direct control, they may not be comfortable for everyone.

From an reddit oculus post, it makes the lag etc. drop back to the 1.27 level, still basically unusable but not vomit inducing

Major judder in my default HOME space with 1.28, until I used the new Avatar Editor...after editing my avatar : no more judder.

Since the update, the floor is 3 meters under me, so I'm flying. I have made some sensors calibrations, no way to correct that issue :neutral: .

You’ll have to do a full setup again.

Updated to 1.28 last night.  Had a look this morning and a couple of issues:
Avatar editor mirror displays avatar image (must change it, I'm looking like a golden, young, John Lennon!) but Edit button doesn't do anything except move the mirror upwards.
Trigger on Screens/ arcade machine just crashes out to restart Home from the default home (in my case #1, noticed first when I got evicted from #4 back to #1)

No apparent performance issues.  Nvidia driver version: 398.36
PC info: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X - Sapphire 7900XTX - 32GB DDR4 4000 - 3 NVMe + 3SATA SSD - Quest 2 & 3

Sorry, forgot to say I even done a full setup.

Edit: I will test without the beta canal and riftcore 2.0. => Now, after a new calibration, floor is fixed. ::smile:

That’s great!!!!  There’s no real love in buying a wive. LOL
