TLDR
- Added Music Mode B)
- We fixed a large performance regression with R2 rooms, and performance should be back to where it was a few weeks ago.
- We fixed a longstanding issue with room reports - you can now include all the details you need or want to include with your room reports. Thank you rec roomers for flagging this one!
- It's now more difficult for loading players to break rooms and we're providing better logs for loading issues.
- A whole lotta chips are out of beta, check the list below!
Full Body Avatars
- We've convinced the hand grip animations to stop being stubborn and actually update the grip values when you change your grip. It's, it's, it's, hmm... Grippy !
- Beginning a new experiment for some new players to start as a Full Body Avatar when loading into the game for the first time.
Rooms 2.0
- We fixed a performance regression where players would lose a significant amount of performance in R2 rooms compared to R1 rooms. Let us know if you're seeing improvement this week!
- Multi-selecting components with the connect tool now properly parents the object boards without causing any existential crises.
- Ribbon tubes from R1 rooms now have their passports and can travel safely to R2 without getting lost in the code.
- Fixed an issue where R2 invention containers and shapes were playing hide and seek and not tracking to the correct invention. They've been caught and are now behaving.- We made external parent wires hidden when in a lower scope. This fixes the behavior of "Hide Higher Scope Boards" so that the wires of higher scope boards are hidden in addition to the chips, now you'll no longer get floating wires.
General Improvements & Bug Fixes
- Fixed the broken room report UI where there was an aggravating text bug that would make it difficult to type a lot of details in a room report. you can now include all the details you need or want to include with your room reports. Thank you rec roomers for flagging this one"
- Spammers be gone, we disabled the "Go To" button for non-friends in all situations.
- Leaguers can now sign in relief, we fixed an issue where teleport and snap rotating players could send items through the ground.
- The maker pen menu buttons now have a consistent font size and won't go through identity crises when clicked.
- Expanded out a white bar UI issue with the Friendotron.
- Made it more difficult for loading players to break rooms.
- Improved the messages for circuit errors you get when a player receives CV2 events before they've fully loaded.
- 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.

RRStudio
- Added a new field to the Canvas Interaction component in Rec Room Studio to let you force control hints to show up for all platforms on a canvas. You can also use this to suppress control hints on all platforms, in case of an extra dense UI.
- By default, Screens players always see control prompts for UI, and touch players do not. This default is not new behavior, but is subject to change in the future.
- The Grabber template in RRStudio got a little TLC to stop those pesky non-serialized component issues.
