PATCH 8: Desktop Menu Mode, Portrait Mode, and various bug fixes!

Hey everyone,

Check out the latest patch notes, new channels added to Bigscreen TV, and upcoming updates!

We added a new Desktop Menu Mode back in Patch #5, but many users were confused on how to bring it back. To make it easier for everyone, simply tap on the menu button on your controller to bring your menu back into VR even if you have Desktop Menu mode toggled on. (This feature is not available for Index users yet)

Patch #8
  • Menu button on controller will bring menu back into VR, even after turning on Desktop Menu mode
  • Performance improvements when Desktop Menu is used
  • Portrait mode is supported again
  • Fixed issue with muting blocked users
  • Side Room big screen should be working properly again
  • Fixed an issue with screens showing up as blank screens
  • Fixed projector light in the Big Cinema
  • Various bug fixes, crashes, and minor performance improvements
