    I'm not seeing any of the new objects in my inventory after the update. Tried opening a few lootboxes but didn't get any items that looked like that new stuff either. The "audio" tab in my inventory isn't there at all.

    Just received 1.36, and I STILL cannot see public homes. I can see public homes if I create a new account, but no public homes with my real account. Why??

    I have had numerous issues like that when the other person is not on the same executable or update version. my friend is in my room but not is meshes. the thing is oculus is very poor at comunicating update and what they do and what to expect.. baby steps

    I was talking about public homes, not friend's homes. The issue has nothing to do with "the other person".

    To reiterate, if I create a new account, I can see a list of public homes. On my real account, I can only see the three example homes.

    Please improve turning and allow 2 Touch Controllers to act as games do (just not Echo VR as that needs improving too!). I wonder if we can add sounds & music to our existing Homes? Provide us with a full character too.

    Same here, except I'm not going to be creating another account to troubleshoot this.

    OK, I tried 1.36 PTC earlier today.  I ran through a few games/apps, including Steam, Oculus, and independent sources.  All worked fine.  I did not notice any significant performance diffs.  

    I have not tried the Dollhouse or music features since I don't use those anyway with my Bland BigCube Home.

    This update did something to my dashboard. The screen is still at the right level but the board that you select items from such as Explore, settings, home, social etc is so high in the air now I can not reach it. I restarted everything yet it is still the same. Worked fine before this update.

    I did not see this problem with 1.36 PTC.  Not sure why you do?  Just grab it (you might need to stand up and/or start off in a sitting position to begin with) and drag it down and you should be ok.  This seemed to fix it ok for me with 1.35 after a couple of restarts.

    I agree 100%.  Where the heck is ASW 2.0???  I'm getting tired of disabling ASW in X-Plane 11 because of the crappy wavy artifacts the current ASW 1.0 produces.

    Please be advised that "Multiplayer" Home and Social aspects of VR are much more important than stability, reliability and performance.

    We're a month short of 3 years (edited) with the Consumer Version Rift, but the meat and potatoes software is still regularly spoiled by the unwanted sauces.

    I think it's time they separated the VR Library, Store and Launch Interface from the unnecessary Home fluff.

    Sorry but I do not understand your point. If you mean that Oculus seems to be concentrating on too much Oculus Dollhouse stuff, then I agree.

    If you're not seeing the new things in the beta, run Oculus, put on the headset and let home load, now run any game and let it run for around a minute, then close out of the game and you should see any new features. This is because Oculus Home needs to update something while Oculus client is open but it can't because Home is running, when you run a game Home closes and it'll give the updater a chance to enable the new features

    This should happen when you update and restart. It did with me anyway. Maybe another restart is useful for some?

    I believe that would be 3 years actually...

    I'm currently getting an error. "We're having problems starting, The software might be updating, wait a minute or if the problem keeps happening, contact Oculus support" or something like that.  This has been going on for the last 5 hours.  Anyone have an idea on this?

    Jeez! Another Home focused update? What about ASW 2.0? What about in-game performance improvements (according to this list, they didn't even try to improve it)?
    Don't get me wrong, sound objects and gateways seem very cool, and I like Home, but it's not the center of the VR world...

    You are assuming that the same people who work on home also work on the runtime, I would be surprised if that was mainly the case... Asw 2 does seem to be takeing quite a while though... But i guess they are a lot more carful with runtime changes and have to stay ahead of graphics driver and application bugs.

    Yeah, have to agree with this... most dev teams are focussed on a specific project, and don’t cross to other things (too hard to keep changing headspace).

    I’d much prefer them to take their time with the underlying drivers and system than rush stuff

    I was able to grab mine and pull it down no problem.  I seem to recall I needed to stand up in order to reach it though, lol!  Mine now seems to start up at the right height.

    I didn't assume anything, mate. It's a fact that this update only brought Home stuff, and it's a fact that other updates actually brought other stuff. That's why I'm disappointed. But hey, I'll just wait for next month update, hopefully there will be more than Home this time.
    Hyped for the Quest 2!


    My hopes for VR next gen:
    - Full Body Tracking. Come on, Oculus!
    - Eye tracking with foveated rendering. Must reduce the power needs!
    - More big-scale games. I need a true VRMMORPG!
    - Bigger community.

    In all fairness to Oculus I think there are some minor performance improvements with 1.36 PTC.  My %cpu and %gpu usage in home is down a few % and the transition time between the Store and Home is a little faster.

    If you want to see further improvements go to your home settings/graphics and turn off the improved panel rendering option but leave AA on because it does make text look a lot clearer.  Also, go to the Preferences (left controller/menu) and go to graphics.  Turn off the top auto option then turn down quality to low.  By doing those changes I lowered my %cpu and %gpu another +5% each and I cannot really notice much difference in visual quality.

    Just saw the Portal, it's awesome!



    I cordially invite anyone to make a Portal to my Home. Fair warning, this is my most common greeting:



    now all we need is more than 4 homes, and the ability to name them other than "Home#1/2/3/4".. I'm goingto sacrifice one of my homes to make it into a portal world or something; don't suppose anyone has a link to the doco on creating your own homes?
