Rec Room PATCH - the “All That and a Bag of Chips” edition

Circuits Changes

  • Added a bunch of new chips in beta:

    • Player Head chips: Player Head Position, Player Head Rotation, Player Head Forward Direction, Player Head Up Direction, Player Head Velocity, Player Head Height
    • Player gaze chips: Local Player Gaze Origin, Local Player Gaze Direction
    • Player Get Seat - This chip will return the seat a player is in if said seat is a maker pen object. This chip does not work with vehicle seats.

  • Chip port selection should now be more reliable. (We think we fixed it! Please tell us if ports are still being weird.)

  • Decreased the volume of circuit error SFX. It could be argued that getting jump-scared whenever you get an error is a good way to train yourself to not make mistakes. On the other hand, it could be argued that… not that.
  • Fixed a bug where some Circuits math chips would continue to compute as though additional input ports were there, even after they had been removed. Math does not believe in ghosts.
  • Player Radio Channel Chip change: the thresholds when radio effects kick in/go away now account for the voice rolloff settings for the player in the room.
  • Deprecated and replaced the Distance chip, as well as the Player Get Position/Rotation/Velocity chips. They are now based on the player’s “root,” in order to be consistent with their setters.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

  • All players, including non-RR+ members, can now create room keys and currencies! (You’ll still need RR+ in order to set prices on keys and create currency packages.)
  • Added a new voice roll-off option of 15.
  • The respawn delay on objects can now be set as low as 0.1 seconds. We’ve also added an option to disable the respawn visual effect if you really hate those orange cubes.
  • Added highlight to the clone tool.
  • Fixed various skins that were missing some pieces.
  • Fixed corruption of subtitle text in VR. (Hooray!)
  • Fixed a small audio issue with the Room Chat send button.
  • Fixed an issue where some PC players were experiencing inconsistent behavior with a surface snap.

Rec Room Studio

  • Deleted boards will no longer re-appear in the game. Use the right-click editor menu on the object Rec Room Studio -> Remake Object Board, to create the board again.
