Experiments

• You know how on Screens you can pick up a blob of Shapes, pretend to throw it, and it will just stay stuck in the air? Well, what if instead of that you could precisely place the Shapes where you want? Now you can, which we hope makes building blocks and board game type experiences a bit more possible. Currently all Rooms 1 Shapes set to Decoration or Environmental have this as their main action (instead of pretending to throw them) but we hope to expand the capability to more objects in the future.

• The Gun Handle Released event was feeling shy and refused to fire after reloading, but we've boosted its confidence with a pep talk and some bubbly. It's now firing as expected!- We have removed Portrait Mode! You will enter the game on mobile in Landscape mode from now on.
• We've added a new voice chat setting for those of you who like to play music or have their mic tuned just the way you like it. You can find "Music Mode" in the "Advanced Microphone Settings" section of the audio settings page.- Improvements to the 'copy code' and 'share link' buttons.

• "Copy code" button copies just the code now.
• Changed the text on the "copy link" button to "share link".

• Screens and mobile players can now press buttons even when you're reeeeeally reaaaaally close to them. Like super close.
• Fixed scroll snapping when changing pages in the Watch, so now it'll look silky smooth B)
• Added a "view invention details" button for both R1 and R2 inventions. When you have any part of an invention selected, a menu option will be available that says "View Invention Details", which will then take you to the invention details page. Pretty neat, huh?
• When deleting points from a curve shape (MakerPen), you can delete all but two points instead of one so that the bad things don't happen :)
• The report button should now appear on player profiles that are blocking you. No spam reporting for being blocked please, but do report if you've experienced CoC breaking behavior.

Rec Room UPDATE - the "Bool spits lazy facts" Edition

TLDR

• Bool chips are now lazy but also faster and more efficient!
• Your saved outfits with custom shirts can be worn again. Show me that fit!
• The Pathfinder will make better choices on where it is going (or not going).

Full Body Avatars

• Addressed that pesky issue where custom shirts in saved outfits were playing hide-and-seek. They're back, front and center where they belong.
• Fixed an issue where VR players in Full Body Avatar could experience minor hand jitters under certain circumstances.

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Bool chips got smarter and lazier, now they'll stop working as soon as they know the answer, saving heat and preventing circuit errors. Bool chips will now 'short circuit' when possible, such that they do not evaluate the remaining inputs when the output can already be determined. This includes 'And', 'Or', 'Nor', and 'Nand'.
• Put an end to the twisty-turny drama with tube and ribbon curves snapping. You can no longer snap grid point rotation when creating a curve with a tube or ribbon. When grid snapping was on, the curve control points could end with rotations that did not match user expectations.
• Added a new Circuit Board Maker Pen "Scale Control Panel Offset" tool setting. The setting defaults to true/on - maintain current behavior. When it is set to false/off, the control panel will maintain a constant distance from the object when the object is uniformly scaled.
• Squashed the bug where tapping a deep link might take you on an unexpected detour to your Dorm instead of where you wanted to go. Now you'll land where you intended, no surprise pit stops!
• Eliminated a persistent autocomplete dropdown bug where autocomplete options appear persistent on the screen even when players aren't actively interacting with the input text field.
• We uncrossed our wires to fix a bug where when using wire on an input circuit pin, the config menu wouldn't always pop up on your maker pen UI.

Rooms 2.0

• Taught Pathfinder to listen better to the Rec Room Object Reset chip, it's finally maturing :,)
• Pathfinder also learned to think before acting. If it gets two requests during the same frame, it'll now go with the most recent one, like the true multitasker it is.

RRS

• We optimized slow Studio Function Animator method calls to Animator.SetFloat(string name, ...), Animator.SetBool(string name, ...) and Animator.SetInteger(string name, ...) to substantially reduce performance impact when these are called frequently.
• Squashed an exception that could occur during a domain reload when the Asset Palette tab is open.

Rec Room UPDATE - the "Dry Eyes" Edition

TLDR

• Updated grabbable items and consumables for Full Body Avatars, now you can finally pour water into your mouth (instead of your eyes) on Screens!
• Touchpad component changes
• Patched glitch-grabbing exploit for longbow and goblin wand

Full Body Avatars

• Sometimes hands felt a bit clunky when releasing grabbed items, like there was a kind of ghost collider getting in the way of whatever you were holding as soon as you dropped it. We found the ghost and exorcized it. (Who you gonna call? Coach busters!)
• We took a pass at the 500+ items you can grab in the game and updated how they look in your hand and how you look when drinking and eating. For example, you'll no longer pour the water bottle into your eye when trying to take a drink on screens. There are just a few challenging outliers (like the Rec Royale Glider) that need some special love - we'll get to those in a future update.
• Fixed watch lag and anchoring in VR for FBA.
• Repositioned FBA seated positions to align with bean offsets.

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Reduced temporary memory allocations during circuit execution by removing extra enumerator allocations in foreach loops caused by the interface.

• Fixed a bug that could cause issues with Player Boards for joining players with a custom voice rolloff player trait.
• Added a setting to Interaction Volume V2 to allow creators to hide/show the outline while hovering.
• Fixed a bug where party or club chat would be un-selectable when switching tabs.
• Fixed the size of room and item card loading placeholders that were loading in at the wrong size.
• Fixed an issue where bogus VR tracking data could cause rendering issues
• Okay, don't get too mad at us, but we had to patch the glitch-grabbing exploit for the bow and the wand in VR. Sorry, gang.
• Fixed broken behavior after unlinking an account from a device. Don't worry, guys - we turned it off and back on again.
• Fixed a bug where some text validation was not run on Xbox input prompts.

Rooms 2.0

• Baked a fix for issues with non-hierarchical NavMesh baking in R2 rooms.
• Fixed an issue where when using the connect tool to reparent objects in R2, a selected item may go out of scope and should no longer be selected

RRS

• Fixed issues with the copying of Clamp, Rotator, and Piston content from legacy rooms and pasting them into Rooms 2.0 rooms.
• Square up! Cubemaps will now have a more optimal texture format automatically applied for mobile platforms.

• Restored the avatar snapshot as your default profile photo for new players.

Rec Room Studio

• New projects created using the Rec Room Studio launcher will now include default assets from My Little Monsters! We also have a new kit-based Template Room available from the Create menu in-game, so even if you can't use Rec Room Studio, you can find all these assets and use them!

Full Body Avatars Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Costume creators can now require players to auto-switch to the floating bean avatars when wearing their costumes. Just configure your costume and turn off the "Allow Full Body Avatar Type" setting. Previously-created costumes will have this toggled off by default.
• Melee strikes and charge attacks for full body screen players weren’t looking quite right with the Fish, Cutlass, Frying Pan, Oar, Pitchfork, Push Broom, SwingHandle, QuestSword, Whip, Stool, and Shovel. The animations, especially with how the off-hand was working, is looking much better.

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Beta content can now be saved into inventions! Inventions that contain chips or objects that are in beta can only be spawned in beta rooms, and will not be publishable until they are re-saved without any beta content.
