In the software updates section, I see more than one version for other software/mfg., but the Porsche version only shows 23.85 for me.

If that were true, then you would be presented at device power up with the option to boot from one version or the other.
Is that what one sees?
It is atypical for these smaller electronic devices to provide such an option. What may be more typical is the ability to hold two (2) operating
software versions in memory during an upgrade procedure. This is a fail safe option allowing the device to recover (and boot from the earlier version)
in the event of some failure during a software upgrade process. The last step in an upgrade is to update the device's boot address to the
newer software version. If that step is for whatever reason not reached, the device boot address of the older operating software version is
retained - and the device is not "bricked".

Do you actually have a Launch x431? It sounds like you don't.If that were true, then you would be presented at device power up with the option to boot from one version or the other.

We're not talking about the Android operating system from which it boots. We're not talking about the x431 app, even. Within the app, it has manufacturer-specific files (with versions). The Porsche-specific file is the topic of discussion, and that is not something you choose at boot time, nor each time you run the app.
My screen shots above are small samples of where you can select these versions. Here is a larger example. This is something you do within the x431 app itself.

So, from the pulldowns for each manufacturer you can select which version to run?
That's nice...

For some manufacturers, that appears to be the case. For Porsche, not so much. 23.85 is all I see, and I feel that 23.82 is a better version.
I am still working with the Launch support folks to see what they can do. There is actually a "help" system built-in to the app, called "Feedback". it gets a tracking ticket #, and maybe/hopefully messages/updates, that you can track on the device itself.

The last response was yesterday, where they asked me my x431 serial number, which was originally submitted to them with the feedback/help ticket, so my hopes are dwindling.

Thank you for checking that. Hopefully others will enjoy the same experience as yours. If you get the chance, could you plug in your x431 and check the Instrument Cluster -> Joker settings in 23.85 and see if they match the wording I put in my big post of x431 codings? This is what I saw in 23.82:
- Board computer menu configuration-Board computer menu configuration byte 2-Joker Sport
- Board computer menu configuration-Board computer menu configuration byte 2-Joker Sport Plus
- Board computer menu configuration-Board computer menu configuration byte 2-Joker PASM
- Board computer menu configuration-Board computer menu configuration byte 2-Joker lane departure warning
- Board computer menu configuration-Board computer menu configuration byte 2-Joker Sport exhaust system
- Board computer menu configuration-Board computer menu configuration byte 2-Joker Start/Stop

I completely understand!
I don't have a Macan, but a Cayenne instead - bought the Launch a month ago and returned (per seller advice) it because it was all in German on the Coding menu. Went to check out friend's Launch V Pro and his was perfect as i've seen it before. Then ordered a Launch V Pro and same issue. It totally matches the fact that v23.85 is messed up. So I guess it makes sense that when they upgraded and added features, they got lazy on the menu translation or forgot or messed up on including the correct menu files.
I've submitted a request as well as contact the seller. If nothing changes, i'm returning the device until there is an update that can prove this thing works. No point having a $1000 paper weight.
Wow!! How did you do it? Mine doesn't show me any other version except 23.85. Mind sharing the install file or point to link?

Give them some time to reply. They are on holiday from 10/1 to 10/7, as I understand it.
