Hey all,

Thanks for all the feedback and bug reports about the 2019 UPDATE.

  • fixed a performance bug for PC users that had additional supersampling set outside of Bigscreen
  • fixed a performance bug with the Camera tool rendering 4K or even 8K video
  • fixed a bug where some GearVR users couldn't use the keyboard, couldn't login, couldn't use the app
  • fixed a bug with grabbing the UI
  • fixed a bug with the list of rooms not updating
  • fixed a bug when changing a public room to a private room
  • fixed a bug with Windows 7 users crashing on app start


Friday Patch #2 fixes:
  • fixed Remote Desktop not launching for some users
  • fixed the Public Rooms List not updating sometimes
  • fixed bugs with the Alt-Tab screen; it will appear less often, and won't be annoying for users with VR controllers!
  • fixed several UI bugs


Thursday Patch #1 fixes:
  • fixed a crash on app start (on the PC)
  • fixed Audio Driver installation errors
  • fixed Audio issues due to audio devices with unicode/text names
  • improved UI/poking issues
  • fixed bug with Alt-Tab screen and it will not appear for users with VR controllers unless you Alt-Tab to Bigscreen
  • moved the full Environment selection UI from the Room page to front of the Home page
  • fixed performance issue in multiplayer rooms due to incorrectly streaming at >1080p resolutions (ex. 4K), affecting PC & Mobile performance


Known Bugs we will Fix Soon


The top priorities are the performance issues and the Audio streaming issues.

  • PC performance issues where performance gets worse every minute when you are Alt-Tabbed away from Bigscreen.exe, performance resets when you Alt-Tab and focus on Bigscreen.exe. Weird bug, horrible performance. WILL be fixed soon!
  • Mobile/Oculus Go performance issues
  • desktop audio streaming is too quiet or seems muted


Tomorrow, we will release Patch #4 and fix more of those bugs!
