# Rec Room UPDATE - the "Hide-and-Seek" Edition

[h2]Game Updates & Bug Fixes[/h2]
(Shout out to players in the #rrplus-lounge on Discord for bumping some of these up the list)
[h3]New Stuff[/h3]
  • We're launching a new "Hide and Seek" backpack game this week! Deploy it from your backpack to start a quick game of hide-and-seek in any room where consumables are allowed. Active RR+ members will receive a few for free this week to kick-start the fun - and special thanks to @MagolorRR from the Rec Room Plus Lounge for submitting the photo we used for the box art.
  • Room Boosts are arriving this week - a new way to support rooms you love and be rewarded for it! Read more on rec.net here: https://rec.net/creator/p/Room-Boosts
  • When you earn and equip a Profile Badge, your profile will now say how you got the badge and link back to the room you got it from.
  • We overhauled the item details page. Now it has more functionality, is easier to use, and will display any active deals on items so you don't have to search for them elsewhere.
  • Tired of waiting for the paintball match summary to finish? Well now you can skip to the end by pressing Continue.
  • The Battle Pass page now shows the XP you've earned towards the next level, rather than the total amount of XP.
  • Creators can now enable the action button on Room Inventory Items in R1 rooms. Likewise, the Inventory Item action can be triggered in R1 rooms using the "Use Inventory Item" CV2 node.
[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug where VR players spawned with the incorrect rotation - which was annoying.
  • Fixed a bug with physically typing on the VR keyboard. Now you can type w3i8thuyo9utr it5 looo9kioinhgy loi8kinjgt loikie t6hisew!
  • Fixed a bug causing the "Skip Notifications" button to be greyed out. Skip away!
  • Fixed a bug with Curves/Tube rendering that was causing crashes across platforms.
  • Fixed the token store carousel, it won't break when you scroll now!
  • Fixed a bug causing storefronts to sometimes be blank - just in time for gifting season.
  • Fixed ShareCamera failing to tag players in photos.
  • Fixed ShareCamera Film not working on certain platforms.
  • Fixed a bug with the Streamer Camera breaking rendering when pointed at mirrors.
  • Fixed a RRStudio bug where sometimes the "Last Downloaded" save information might be incorrect after uploading a new save.
  • Fixed a RRStudio bug in the AnimatorSynchronizer that could cause an Animator with multiple layers to not synchronize some of the layers correctly.
