Awesome update I can really feel the hand tracking being alot better, a quick question if you are able to answer it whats determining the Wifi6E activation/deactivation im asking as we are gonna travel overseas and are wondering if it will automatically apply when we are at events or if we might need to force it on?

When you connect your Focus 3 to a valid Wi-Fi network, it will detect which country you are in. Then, you will be able to use WIFI 6e in the country we announced so far.
For now: the US, UK, Germany, France, and Belgium are supported.

Ill trust you on this and hopefully it will work well during our events in germany during summer, any updates when it comes to Sweden?

With the Beta Program, I'm having some difficulty with my headsets. I have five devices that I am trying to update into the OpenXR Beta, which I've applied for and been replied to that I've successfully joined—but in the device they're saying they're not registered when navigating through the menu.

Is there a reason for this, or some way to force them into beta mode?

The Focus3 are all connected to the internet, yes. Preconfigured in the batch installation, and then manually checked and resolved.

One of them is actually not returning any pop-up at all now. The button to join the beta appears, but clicking accept just returns you to the same menu.

That COTA's being applied might be the clue for it, so that Beta toggle is not taking any effect. 
Do you think it's possible to factory reset one of the device to see if it can work? (do not apply COTA and do not enroll DMS while do so.)

Alright, it took quite a while however I managed to solve the issue. It wasn't just applying the beta, it was actually also updating the devices. It refused to acknowledge there was a standard update or a beta enrolment to undergo.

Resetting and restarting on it's own had no effect, however if you reset the device or restart while the device is plugged in, then you'll get the prompt. Occasionally one or two of my devices would work without requiring this after a few restarts, so I'm not sure what was happening there.

Anyway, thank you for the help.
