Rec Room PATCH - the “Full Body Beta Buddies” edition

Rooms 2.0

  • Legacy inventions will now be sorted into their own palette filters in Rooms 2.
  • Fixed a bug where Rooms 2 rooms might show a notification saying that players are editing the room when they load in, even if they are not and/or are not able to use the maker pen. Sorry, you weren’t allowed to edit My Little Monsters after all. :,(

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.
  • We are re-organizing your Dance moves. Some players will find them in the Gestures radial menu on a second tab while in third person. Get yo groove on
  • Added 'Quick Chat Table' and 'Quick Chat Table Set Enabled' chips in beta.
  • Added 'NavMesh Sample Position' chip in beta.
  • Released the following from beta:
    • The Grabber component and all of its chips
    • Player Get Voice Rolloff Distance and Player Set Voice Rolloff Distance
    • Local Player Is VR
    • Rec Room Object Get Root Object
    • Root Object
    • Root Player
  • Improved player voice quality in some rooms. Now your mic will be even crispier when you eat it! (We actually don't recommend you do that.)
  • All HUD chips are now called Generic "HUD Element…”
  • Additional UI optimization work
  • Added a fix that prevents rare situations where player data might not load correctly.
  • Fixed dark overlay on watch page section headers.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented sorting options from working as expected in palette search.
  • Fixed an issue where improperly configured Circuits Audio Constants would not log errors.

Experiments

  • Experimenting with performance impact on a new feature that allows for customization everywhere.
  • Experimenting with room carousels, tags, and display room limits in the Play menu.
  • Began an experiment where some rooms will use a more optimized network bandwidth model.
