Performance and stability updates.
Hand Tracking
When switching from Hand Tracking to using controllers, you can now more easily find your controllers by enabling Passthrough
We’ve added an option to enable automatic transitioning between hand tracking and controllers
We’ve added a new step to the Hand Tracking Tutorial that will allow you to practice scrolling with your hands
Remote rendering support for Unity has been added so developers can more easily build and test Hand Tracking apps through their PC
Improved Hand Tracking stability
Events
You can now start a party direct from a live event’s detail page to help you and your friends get into the event together more efficiently.
We’ve made improvements to the Oculus Event Invite feature.
Event hosts can now allow guests to invite their own friends.
Viewing a developer-created event will now allow you to view a list of all your friends who have indicated that they are interested in the event.
Viewing a user-created event will now allow you to view a list of all users who have indicated that they are interested in the event as well as all users who have been invited to the event, similar to Events pages on Facebook.
You can control whether or not you appear as part of the above invited or interested lists via the "Who can see your activity on Oculus" privacy setting.
Search
Updated app search appearance and behavior. Please note that we are testing this new look and feel with a limited group, so some users may continue to see the old version.
System Apps
A new app called Scoreboards will allow you to see how your achievement and leaderboard accomplishments compare to your friends’. Please note that this feature is rolling out slowly to all users, so you may not see it right away.
The storage manager has received a makeover! A new look and some updated descriptions will allow you to have a better understanding of your device’s storage use.
User profiles have been updated to show the apps that you own, your achievements, and your friends.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug with party invitations, making it no longer possible to invite a user to a party that they are already in.
Fixed a bug related to app downloads that caused the headset to stop responding
Made the process of launching an app after switching from hand tracking to controllers more efficient.
Fixed a bug that sometimes caused app purchase button text to be displayed oddly.
Fixed a bug that sometimes caused a "Tracking Lost" when waking the headset up from a sleep state.
Fixed a bug where avatar thumbnails would sometimes not update in all locations after a change was made.
(Oculus Go) Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the display to lock up when waking the headset up from sleep.
I received the v13 OTA update on my Quest, but haven't received the v13 PC Software update. Tried opting in to the PTC which then installed the v14 PC Software, clicked enable Link, and it doesn't work. Just shows 3 dots 😞
Before the update Link worked just fine for me on v12.
Opted out of the PTC and back to the v12 PC software it went. Here's hoping that I can get the v13 PC Software update soon because I actually mainly use my Quest for PCVR at the moment.
Same issue ; The audio is playing , controls are clearly done but nothing other than 3Dots + black screen + audio
Ever since the update from yesterday on the quest allowing auto transition from hand tracking to controllers, quick link enable + guardian reset within LINK directly.... my quest Has it already
Well now, whatever I try and search online, I went on the Beta channel, rewinded, updated my nvidia driver, rebooted my quest ( not firmware reset just power off and on ) rebooted pc, no success , worth mentionning I played with my USB ports a lot too and still....
Still no passthrough on demand!? I can't believe it's taken so long to bring out a highly demanded feature that must presumably be pretty trivial to implement, despite being announced months ago.
@ShowbizDonkey Can you please advise whether this update fixes known issues with the Official cable and Thunderbolt 3 ports? Oculus support had confirmed to myself and others that known issues exist and would be fixed in the next update (which would be this one) Thanks!
@ShowbizDonkey I'm also a bit curious about the state of the thunderbolt port 3 issue @enigma01 mentioned since it would be cool to actually get the cable working directly with the usbc port and no having to use a usb a adapter any more.
