Quest / Go / Gear VR Build 11.0 Release Notes

Search

We’ve made the following updates and enhancements to in-VR search to help you find new content faster:

  • Improved discoverability to make it easier to find new content.
  • Enhanced navigation functionality to make it easier to scroll and use the search feature.
  • Added an autofill Search bar that populates when hovering over an autocomplete tag.

App Installs

Any pending or in-process app installs will now complete before your headset goes to sleep. This means that if you started a download and then took off your headset, your app should finish downloading before the headset goes into sleep mode.


Environments for Quest

We’ve added the new Environments feature to Quest. Environments allow you to change the world that surrounds you while in your Quest Home.

  • You’ll be able to see your environment when you first put on your headset, use the Oculus store, update your settings, or browse your library.
  • You can view and change your environment from your Settings panel. To do this point at your bottom toolbar and select Settings > See all > Virtual Environments. Then point and choose the environment that you want to apply.
  • Please note this feature will be rolled out gradually over the coming weeks to ensure optimal quality and stability.
  • Once the feature is fully rolled out, look out for additional environment options coming in future releases.

Miscellaneous

  • New High Score Shelf in VR (Beat Saber) - See high scores from friends in your VR Feed when playing Beat Saber. Please note that this feature is part of a test and, as result, is only available to a percentage of users at this time.
  • Achievements in VR - See achievements (new levels, trophies, etc. in games) from friends in your VR Feed. Please note that this feature is part of a test and, as result, is only available to a percentage of users at this time.
  • Personalization in VR - You can now favorite or hide apps/genres, which will either boost or remove them from your Explore Feed.
Oculus Link
  • Remote rendering is now available!

    Check out our blog post and support center articles for details on connecting Quest to your compatible PC. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for the feature to appear within your headset. If you still do not see the feature after that time, please reboot your Quest headset and log out and back into your account on the Oculus PC software.

I got the new environment just this past weekend. The classic Oculus Rift room. The actual room scale one unlike the quest version. Makes me wonder what new themes they are planning or are they thinking of something like rooms combining features of the Rift and Go platforms. something where you can meet up choose bgm and play tabletop games perhaps?

If your Quest has updated to v12, you need to update your PC software to v12 as well for Link to work. You can force that update by opting into the PTC (Public Test Channel) in the Oculus desktop app. This is outlined in the Quest v12 release thread.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.


Try my game: Cyclops Island Demo

Hey there - this is expected during the rollout. There's a note in bold about this in the v12 release notes post here (https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/83257/quest-go-gear-vr-build-12-0-release-notes). We're working to improve this process in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience!

in the text it says:  "you will need to wait until you receive the Quest v12 update before Oculus Link will work again"

Is there something to speed up the process? Iam now waiting for 2 days.
Luckily I have a HTC Vive. But to plan it would be nice to know how many days / weeks / month, it will take, till Link will work again?

I installed it manually by sideloading it. Worked like a charm, just need to reboot after, then enable Hand Tracking in the Experiments tab in Settings.

Once you have version 12 installed on the quest.Open oculus on the pc and activate Beta,that will start the version 12 install on the pc,2 downloads.But leave it on Beta,otherwise version 1.43 will install again after and that will cause the link not to work.
Pc and quest should be both versions matching to work.
Hope that helps

Very nice! Will we have the ability to import our own environments?


Any update on this?  Quite interested.
