spatial audio is definitely working; I've noticed it for a couple weeks now (v69 PTC). It's pretty cool

[@rzival]

nice! Does it work with KZbin videos on the regular browser? I wonder what I’m doing wrong 🤔

[@vilzio89]

I hear it in the video but jot noticeable like if it was a unity game

[@cskhard]

2:30 the apple audio gave me goousebumps because how well it was sounding, and this is only a record. Wow!

[@jubinha]

Gotta love kurzgesagt

[@rzival]

Yes!!

[@mdsf01]

Excellent! Thanks! Looking forward to removing old apps and the new window layout.

[@rzival]

same can’t wait to officially remove some old apps. Thanks for watching!

[@Joesbeasty]

Rolling out all the features of an update separately is so stupid. I'm surprised they don't roll out the change in the number that you see in your settings, too. "I'm on V69 now but I have to wait a few weeks for the number to go up in my settings from 68 to 69. I haven't gotten that feature yet" 😂

[@rzival]

😂

[@mobthegamer5391]

I got spatial audio, and it works perfectly, though I didn't get the Meta AI feature yet.

[@SjaakSchulteis]

Didn't need to put on Headphones, could hear the difference through the loudspeakers from my laptop 😉

[@rzival]

i hope you meant the vision pro part. If it's the Quest part then i might be going deaf haha

[@SjaakSchulteis]

@@rzival Had to check it again...yes you're right. The Quest part sounds mono to me, but the Vision Pro part was a moving experience... ;

[@mapkidd]

do we have our storage rights back or nah

[@kreatos10]

Something is up with your spatial audio. its VERY distinct on mine even with the stock speaker. so much so i disabled cuz i was anoyed getting audio from behind my head while doing other things. Same here i dont have the delete button. I may still be on the ptc

[@rzival]

I’m actually relieved to hear it’s just me! It would be a shame if it was barely noticeable. Does it always work with the browser for you? Also, did you get the Oceanarium?

[@kreatos10]

@@rzival I havent checked but i dont think ive seen the new theme. some features lack a few days behind for me it seems. last i tried it was with the youtube app. maybe some apps dont support it yet.

[@musicexplained9746]

It’s not an issue of the Quest 3, but I have a problem in BigScreen when it comes to Bluetooth connections. IDK why but the sound is lacking and stuttering, but I have no problems when I plug in cable earphones.

[@kangelidis]

Weird, spatial audio works for me in v68. Still waiting for v69.

[@rzival]

interesting 🤔 how do you like the Spatial Audio?

[@independentscrambler]

I only want a shutdown option included in the menu bar. I felt like an old-school way to shut down the new generation VR headset with the available way. Like DID WITH MY Nokia 1100 IN 2004.

[@rzival]

off topic but my first phone was a Nokia 3310! then upgraded to 3660. you just brought back so many memories lol

[@tirtakart6481]

yes, deleting apps won't work, at least I don't see the option to do it

[@netnomad47]

I've been waiting for this update for days and still nothing.

[@rzival]

yeah the slow rollout can be such a pain

[@mydanty]

Nice.

[@rzival]

noice 😎

[@Azzy-xp4lq]

Why can't i see Unknown Sources?

[@bickennugget]

Nice

[@rzival]

😎 nice

[@user-ub5bg8qz1d]

Anyone else notice a graphics quality drop in Virtual Desktop after upgrading to V69?

[@rzival]

I just heard about this today for the first time. Looks like some people with v69 have this resolution issue

[@Joesbeasty]

This video just made it dawn on me how frustrating it would be to be a KZbinr trying to do a review on a new Meta OS update since the only thing you actually get right away with any of their updates, is the new number.

[@rzival]

and v70 PTC will probably be here already by time all v69 features are available 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Joesbeasty]

@@rzival lol exactly! That's the way it works for me anyway.

[@xtyzeW]

I wish they released more environments

[@rzival]

agree. I was really looking forward to trying Oceanarium. Which one are you using currently?

[@Lol4live]

When does it came?

[@ciri151]

nice

[@rzival]

noice

[@katdroid1464]

My quest 3 is stuck at v68 and doesn’t say there is an update. Am I missing somthing?

[@rzival]

nope. My quest 3 is stuck at v68 as well, I only have v69 on my Quest Pro. Meta does these slow rollouts where you kinda just have to wait until the update comes to you 😐

[@peterparker6584]

Approximately 3 days ago The Meta AI stopped working and some of us also started having trouble with the controllers randomly crapping out and you have to take the batteries out and put them back in yes I already tried new batteries for the sake of the argument I've also twice gotten an error message saying the charge port has been deactivated in the software when I go to turn on the quest headset it would start making this Bing Bing Bing and the message starts flashing on the screen about the charge port has been deactivated in the software I don't know what any of these issues are being caused by first thing I noticed was The Meta AI stopped working about 3 days ago this all took place after some v68 update that I received about 3 days ago I still haven't received the 69Can't seem to find anybody talking about these issues and there's nowhere that I know of to officially report them

[@rzival]

oh wow, I hadn’t heard of this, I hope it’s resolved soon unlike like that pesky liquid/debris error certain people kept getting a few months back

[@peterparker6584]

@@rzival Roller issue started about two or three weeks ago and it's software related. To the other stuff started more recently and i don't know where to get information about if more people are having the problem or what but it's software related whatever it is

[@batvanio]

Here for who? 69 for Quest 2 is not there yet. I hate to sand this to pieces. For some there is for others not. Either for all or for none. Hope he fixes 68 which is full of so many defects.

[@rzival]

yeah I wish it would just be available for all instead of a slow rollout. My Quest 3 doesn’t have v69 yet either

[@batvanio]

@@rzival Reminds me of Horizon World. It's been 4-5 years and it's still available in a handful of countries. A complete mockery of people.

[@snuppyart]

I did got the Content-adaptive backlight control but ngl, I dont see a difference at all. Probably only works with some specific apps?

[@rzival]

apparently it’s only noticeable in really dark scenes, kind of like a more tame version of the Quest Pro’s local dimming. I haven’t tested it myself though

[@RecRoomFocused]

[@nassifsamuel55]

I dont like the new menu system, I liked one menu right in front of me, now theres 3 that open whenever I click anything. Also, Quest game optimizer is busted now, since update can't create new custom profiles since the menu screen won't scroll down. Also after update had to factory reset since it was doing endless boot loop when starting

[@kcchiefsproductions8687]

I think most people like the update features. They just need to patch the bugs.

[@rzival]

did the factory reset fix anything? It does suck that random things break when updates happen

[@kcchiefsproductions8687]

@rzival My headset keeps saying it is updating when I power it off, but when I power it on and check the settings, it's on the same version, and nothing has changed. Is v69 suppose to be on every headset already?

[@nassifsamuel55]

@@kcchiefsproductions8687I thought everyone's was uldated, but maybe not since it's a regional rollout. I know there's tutorials on how you can update from metas website

[@nassifsamuel55]

@@rzival no, still can't use QGO profiles creator, but contacted the developer on reddit, he said he's flooded with messages about the same issue, and allot of problems after v69 update, but he's on vacation and will work on getting fixes when he gets home

[@FlockersDesign]

Funny gues new headsets already come with this software update got mine a week ago and already had this software version

[@rzival]

that’s great, which headset did you get? My Quest 3 still has v68

[@Doom_YXZ]

Did they fix battery drain?

[@rzival]

only battery-related updated I’m aware of is the content adaptive backlight control

[@duoduos9221]

dont think much can be done software wise to majorly improve the battery.

[@cia4gent128]

No one comes close to Apple when it comes to software!

[@davidsmith-wy1dp]

Still not got it pretty rubbish when did it come out it’s now the 16th absolutely rubbish

[@rzival]

about a week ago. My Quest 3 also doesn’t have the update yet, but my Quest Pro does. The slow rollout is 👎🏻
