Update 2.3.7a6

This is a bug fix and improvement release, as always we appreciate the feedback from the player community to help us identify and resolve these issues!

HIGHLIGHTS
  • audio and voice will no longer glitch while loading
  • random song will trigger random stage if enabled
  • everyone will hear song previews in multiplayer


GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
  • With Random Stage selected, using the Random Song button on the song summary screen will now select both a random song & stage.
  • (PCVR Only) Notes now have an increased polygon count and note textures no longer have minimaps.


MULTIPLAYER IMPROVEMENTS
  • Audio is now muted when starting songs, ending songs and returning to the lobby from the scoreboard to eliminate voice chat stuttering effect.
  • All players in a multiplayer room can now hear audio previews or the room's selected song, provided they have the song available to play! Volume is controlled by the in-lobby volume control, and the feature can be disabled in Settings > Multiplayer > Song Audio Preview.


POWER-UPS IMPROVEMENTS
  • Power-Ups are clearer when identifying grouped targets - look for the labels "All Leaders", "All Pursuers" as well as "Everyone".
  • Power-Ups attack messages are now a little smaller in size.


TWITCH INTEGRATION IMPROVEMENTS (PCVR ONLY)
  • You can now connect your Twitch channel in game and have the default Synthriders bot visit you! If you wish to personalize your bot, you can still do so in the usual way, but now you can also simply enter your channel name in game (Settings > Interface > Twitch Integration) and let our bot come to you.
  • Twitch Mods Panel renamed to the Twitch Integration panel, and will not be visible when the game can't connect to Twitch.
  • To avoid interaction with other bots (specifically SteamElements), the !set command is now !srset
  • When enabled, the twitch help message is now part of the connection message.
  • Viewers who change status will now correctly be reflected in cooldowns.


BUG FIXES
  • In game news no longer overlaps onboarding in the case that the player launches the game twice before completing onboarding.
  • Pausing and resuming on Spin City stage no longer causes the special effect tunnel to occur
  • Non-stop play in the Electroswing Essentials DLC fixed.
  • Input keyboard no longer stays open when you leave the Playlist edit screen via the close button before closing the keyboard.
  • Playing a song with a Custom difficulty and then selecting Random Song on completion could cause the next song to incorrectly load with no notes and finish immediately.
  • Fixed Settings > Calibration > PLAY AREA title text.
  • Multiplayer: Fixed a condition which could cause players to display 0x multiplier on the Power-Ups summary board.
  • Multiplayer: Fixed an issue causing all scores on the leaderboard to incorrectly display as full combo (lightning bolts) on return to the lobby.
  • Power-Ups: Players in first place using Embiggen power-up now have a target selected correctly, identified as “All Pursuers”.
