Rec Room PATCH - the "Bento Box" edition

A small batch of feature improvements and bug fixes this week - hope you enjoy!

[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • Added 'smile' to the emote wheel and expresso menu. No more frowns in your group photos, unless you're into that kind of thing.
  • Fixed club settings to redirect to the club details page after saving changes. No longer do you need to scroll back through your 72 unique clubs to find the one you were working on!
  • Maker Pen Tubes/Ribbons now have 3 analog options: Off, Brushstroke, and Raw. Leave it on Brushstroke for more predictable results in your tubes, or Raw to be as accurate as your trigger!
  • Saving changes made with the maker pen recolor tool now behaves as expected. (Wow, they fixed it... color me surprised.)
  • CV2 Gadgets should no longer be missing their tethers to Control Panels. Now your gadgets will look even more spaghetti-like.
  • Fixed a bug where friend introductions sometimes showed up blank.

  • Fixed an issue with the Reset pin on the Animation Gizmo not always working properly.

Rec Room UPDATE - the "Bento Box" edition

[h2]Sushi![/h2]

Grab your closest fish eating friends and mow down a box of some premium Rec Room Sushi! Nibble on crunchy hand rolls, feast on delightful nigiri, or just chuck them at your friend's face! Either way, it's sushi time!
  • Each box of sushi contains 9 pieces - various shrimp, tuna, and salmon nigiri, as well as 6 crunchy hand rolls.
  • Each nigiri has one tasty bite.
  • Each hand roll has 2 crunchy bites.


[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • Coming soon! Room currencies will be out of beta so all creators can add currencies to their rooms!
  • Get your tokens faster than ever! When you buy tokens from the store, they're added to your balance immediately instead of being sent in a gift box. Now instead of confusing players that don't open their boxes, we'll confuse players that are looking for their boxes!
  • More rooms that were experiencing infinite load times should now load correctly. No need to be scared of the dark on certain platforms. (Though, the Forbidden One might still visit from time to time...)
  • Fixed a scenario where players could attach an object to their hand without actually holding it. No more magic shows, sorry!
  • Fixed an issue where players sometimes couldn't see the stage in ^3DCharades if they already sat down before the game started.
  • Charged melee attacks (on screen mode) no longer move your character when seated. Hmm, idea for the next RRO... office chair fights?!
  • Fixed animation popping when creating a new avatar - that was distracting!
  • Fixed font issue on signs for player-made rooms in ^Orientation. Don't worry, we didn't make it Comic Sans.
  • Fixed an issue where rooms were sometimes displaying the wrong capacity. This should make it easier to find a room that your group will fit into!
  • Circuits V2 'Player Subscribes to Room Owner' chip now includes a delay of a few minutes before it will perform the subscription check.
  • Circuits V2 'Get Player By Account Name' chip now returns an Invalid Player if there is no player in the room with the given account or display name, rather than throwing an error. In other words, we now give you a specific error, instead of a generic error!


[h2]Beta Changes[/h2]
  • Resetting and deleting cloud variables now forces a save.
  • Creating a subroom no longer deletes or resets cloud variables.

Rec Room UPDATE - the "Take Me Home" edition

[h2]New Home Screen[/h2]
  • We have a new home screen and navigation. We now have a navigation bar at the bottom for frequent-use-features that you can access regardless of where you are in the UI. The home screen itself features a new layout that includes snippets of cool rooms and items for you to check out!
  • Orange Color Scheme Everywhere - We switched color scheme of the UI from the dark purple to orange scheme like the login screen


[h2]General Improvements and Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • Unlocked the Pride hoodies for all players. Now everyone can show their pride in style! (You get a pride hoodie! And you get a pride hoodie!)
  • We've made it possible to turn off syncing for Text V2, Pointlight V2 and Spotlight V2. When syncing is disabled, Circuits can be used to set the local properties of the object, and each player will see their own value. This can be used for showing secret information ("You're the imposter!") or effects (turning on night vision lights) to a specific player.
  • Fixed an issue where CV2 list variables were defaulting to being invalid. They now start as empty lists.
  • The quick chat buttons for room chat can now be physically pressed if you're in VR. (And who doesn't like pressing buttons?)
  • Fixed a bug where picking up and dropping a pool cue using both hands in VR would break it.
  • Fixed an issue where using the arrows to browse the play menu would skip some items.
  • Fixed iOS notification preferences not saving correctly. (Sorry if we pinged you when you told us not to!)
  • Fixed a periodic frame rate spike for PS4 players. (One down... many to go.)
  • Fixed an issue with date formatting if your device is set to use some non-Gregorian calendars.
