Update notes for November 28 video card fix and logic regressions
Hello!
Thanks to support from our players we have identified several problems that impact different users of the game.
Firstly, player PRPE7UAL has helped us identify a situation where the game would hang on start with a white screen due to a Unity issue involving certan vsync settings on Nvidia graphics cards. Accordingly we have switched to using the software encoder for movie playback on all Windows builds. This should resolve launch issues you have in these setups.
Second, thanks to Yhprum we found an issue where the updated movement UI could cause unsolvable puzzles in a few levels due to subtle changes in how potential movesets are generated. 9-2 is one such level and should be solvable again now.
Finally, thanks to omgkitteh we discovered in previous versions of the game there was an unintended glitch that allowed Toshi to move in certain ways with his powermove. This was culled in the QoL update inadvertantly, but we have restored this behavior now to preserve the 1.0 experience of the game for those players which may have been using the glitch to solve some of the levels.
Thank you to our community for helping make Backbeat even better and more compatible on all devices.
As always, if you run into difficulty with the game, please reach out in the forums and we will assist as promptly as we can.
Thank you and happy music making!
