Rec Room News

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed some settings not getting properly saved if you updated a single setting to multiple values quickly enough or scrolled a slider quickly enough.
• Fixed a bug where setting mouse and touch sensitivity would sometimes only set horizontal or vertical sensitivity. As much fun as it is to scroll super slow horizontally and super fast vertically, it probably made some people sick.

[h2]New Maker Pen Menu[/h2]

• We have reorganized some of the tools based on creator feedback. The new menu was created to have a better flow, as well as to prepare for future changes that the wire tool will be undergoing and to give the menu room for future tools without the need to create a whole new menu.
• Try the Navigation Bar at the bottom of the menu for quick and easy navigation on all platforms.
• Contextual Settings surface settings for currently selected tools for quick and easy access without the need to hunt for the settings you need.
• Color and material selections now include swatches that you can save and use in multiple rooms.
• Logging Screen can now be detached from the Maker Pen so you can heat test and debug without having the Maker Pen in your hand!
• New search allows you to search everything in the palette, and you can also view more information about each card. This makes it a lot easier to view details about your inventions and make quick changes to the details pages.
• We added more ways to search for your inventions! We added the following categories: Store Inventions, All Inventions, My Inventions, Published Inventions, Downloaded Inventions, and Certified Inventions if you have them.
• "This Room" can now be reached from the Maker Pen navigation bar! Big time saver!
• Tearoff tabs let you position the pages of your maker pen around your space as you see fit
• The new Transform Tool lets you move, rotate, and scale without changing tools.
• The default shape you are given when equipping your Maker Pen is now different per platform: Tube for VR and Cube for all the other platforms.
• Add a new setting to Maker Pen settings UI that allows to switch between Scale and Move mode when creating new shapes with Maker Pen.

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]

• New UI Sliders are now easier to grab. No more accidentally scrolling while trying to adjust settings sliders, and no more accidentally adjusting sliders when trying to scroll!
• Added the Code of Conduct posters to the \^Lounge and \^Park.
• Community Board videos will stop being so scared that they freeze, we comforted them and they'll play normally again.
• Players can no longer fling away objects in front of them when taking a Seat in Screens mode.
• When using a Gamepad and Keyboard, you can hold the menu button while looking at a player to easily open their profile, instead of clicking on their nametag.
• We've hidden the Subscribe button in the Invention details page for your inventions...we figure you're already pretty invested.
• Pike Goblins kept slipping on ice in custom rooms, making them super fast. So, we took a blowtorch and melted the ice. No more speedy scary goblins.
• Players will experience less jittery movements on moving platforms, though you may still experience some jittery movement when other players are on the same platform.

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]

• We have a new settings screen! Now with 87% more settings: you can now customize controller horizontal and vertical controller sensitivity separately, invert the camera on the horizontal axis and disable camera acceleration on controllers. You can not enable VSync on mobile again :P
• Screens players hold trigger handles correctly now, even in a seat... even if that seat is rotating.
• Bad guys go down with drama, once again. Put in a fix so enemies tumble correctly when stunned by projectile hits, and Barrel Knights are unstuck. Also, we talked to Dracula and he's going to stop flying outside the map in Crescendo of the Blood Moon.
• Get ready for kaboom! Find the Laser Tag and Paint grenades in the Maker Pen palette. Old grenade has been renamed "Jumbotron Grenade."
• Party peeps can see cheer badges (Host, etc) next to fellow party members' name badges instead of the party icon.
• Fixed a bug where the notification for "
  left the room" would show up twice every time somebody else left. Don't you just hate reading the same thing twice?

• Improved voice quality: Fewer pops, clicks, and sputters!

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]

[h2]Rec Room Seasons![/h2]

• Introducing RecRoom Seasons: Starting this month, RR+ members will receive free, exclusive RRO items each month upon login. See the RecCenter storefront for the current season's free item roster, as well as the dates they become available. There are some really legendary items - go check them out!

[h2]Unlisted Inventions[/h2]
Previously, inventions could only be Private (just for you) or Public (available in the store for everyone). When publishing an invention, there is now a "List in Store" toggle. If you deselect it, your invention will be published as Unlisted. This means other players can only discover your invention through Link Buttons -- it won't show up in the store, your portfolio, or through invention announcements.
[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]

• We've simplified invention pricing. Now, you can only price your inventions at 250-token increments (e.g., 0, 250, 500, 750, etc.). All invention prices prior to this change will remain at their current price unless the price is edited.
• The Create Rooms page has a new look! Now you can search and sort your owned rooms as well as any of Rec Room's base room templates.
• When room co-owners (not room creators) try to edit the earning distribution, they are now given more detailed information about who has permission to change the distribution.
• Minor changes to how incoming voice volume is tuned relative to the Ignore Bubble settings. We realized that sometimes a group of people would spawn in the same spot, and wouldn't be able to hear each other at all, since they were right on top of each other! Nearby players will now be slightly audible even if they're completely faded out visually.
• Added the ability to quickly accept some notifications without needing to open the menu.
• We've frozen the furniture in the Lounge. Facilities got tired of having to move the couches back every day.
• Performance improvement to reduce the frequency of occasional hitches.
• Fixed a bug where tube normals can become flipped.
• For iOS players who don't ever use the microphone during a gameplay session, stereo audio output is now supported for players using the built-in speakers on their iPhone or iPad (but also - we'd love to hear your beautiful voice sometime!)
• Fixed a bug with iOS audio interruptions during incoming calls. Now, game audio will resume once the interrupting audio ends. Who wants to talk on the phone these days anyway?
• Players who joined an in-progress \^RecRally game as spectators can no longer get in or reset other players' vehicles. No more hitchhiking!
• Your MakerPen preview is no longer faded out when you add shapes and tubes.
• Moved the profile gifting flows into the new UI system.
• Fixed club announcement creation and updates to announcements are now displayed whenever they're changed or deleted. We hope this makes it easier to keep up on the latest news from groups you care about!
• When the UI is almost perpendicular to the screen, it will be blank or black, depending on the platform. Yes, this is an intentional change, and we can't wait to hear how you were actually using the UI at such an extreme angle! Players are so full of surprises.
• Fixed a bug where, in some cases when players are in an offline dorm, Maker Pen and saving functionality didn't work properly.
• Pitchforks and Shovels now have sensible masses, and respond to physics correctly. It was fun while it lasted!
• Fixed a bug where deleting a room would sometimes not return you to the previous page.
• Fixed a bug where, in \^IsleOfLostSkulls boss arena, players can't properly walk or teleport on the platform to the side of the entrance. No more blaming your silly deaths on the walkway being broken!
• Fixes a bug that affected the appearance of some tubes when a dorm skin was applied.
