Rec Room UPDATE - the "Get rotated" Edition

TLDR

  • We added Party Flags for easier partying!
  • Added categories for Rooms 2 inventions, you can use 16 tags per object and player, and more Rooms 2 additions and fixes.
  • Holotar bugfixes and playback improvements.

Rooms 2

  • Added categories to Rooms 2 inventions! This lets you choose which carousel your invention best fits into.
  • You can now use 16 tags per object and player!
  • Fixed the visibility of the yellow dotted tether lines which connect object boards to their target (this line is supposed to be visible when either the object board or its target is selected).
  • Shapes now properly show their Tags and Is Frozen settings.
  • You'll no longer be able to accidentally delete a container's pivot point.
  • Fixed the Handheld Streamer Camera being unable to spawn via the menu Watch > Settings > Misc > Streamer Camera.
  • Fixed an issue where R1 inventions were excluded from the local player's portfolio in Rooms 2 rooms.
  • Fixed an issue where we'd try to respawn objects while a player was holding them or near them.
  • You'll no longer be able to accidentally delete a container's pivot point.
  • Fixed a bug where exiting a container would incorrectly save the current position/rotation/scale. This caused inadvertent edits such as when a Rotator is rotating while a container is being modified.

Avatar

  • Expanded head and nose scale ranges for both full body and upgraded bean.
  • Holotar recording and playback bugfixes, plus new recordings will playback body rotation and animations properly regardless of how your projector is rotated. Get rotated (correctly), Holotars!

General Improvements & Bug Fixes

  • Party up faster with the new Party Flag! Drop a Party Flag to invite nearby players to join your party instantly, no watch open needed! Whether you're exploring, playing, or just hanging out, gathering your squad is now easier than ever. Look for the Party Flag option in the gesture radial menu and start making new connections at the speed of play!
  • If you have UGC Progression enabled in your room, new players will only receive a "Level Reached" event the first time they join, not every time.
  • We've disabled EAC. Be on the look out for our latest dev blog detailing what's next with Referee.
  • Fixed Synced Object Properties not showing up correctly for join-in-progress players.
  • Players now sync correctly in Object Properties
  • You can now sync Rec Room Objects in Object Properties!
  • Trigger Volumes now clear properly when a player leaves the room while still inside the trigger volume.
  • Fixed an issue where players could get stuck on a black screen when kicked back to the login screen.
  • Improvements and bug fixes for the Widget Watch.
  • Refreshed the RR+ sign-up page.
  • Interaction Volume v2 is now out of beta.
  • Clarified error messages when spawning an object with the maker pen fails.

Rec Room Studio

  • RRStudio objects now behave like containers (can have child objects) in Rooms 2.
  • RRStudio objects now use the common Rooms 2 physics properties/settings in Rooms 2.

Experiments

  • We'll be rolling out some rotation and depth control improvements for Place as an experiment, to help players place objects faster with more precision when using the feature, especially on mobile.
  • Edited an ongoing experiment that produces smoother motion for remote players.
