Fixed a bug where the song stats panel would be visible over the menu after quitting a custom song.
New Achievement and Bug Fix
We added a new achievement!
We fixed a bug in the song editor that would show the previously loaded songs information instead of the song that was just loaded.
Squashing Bugs!
Bugs Fixed
Fixed a few bugs with the preview buttons in the custom song browser and they should now behave as intended and reset if you leave the browser and come back.
Fixed a bug where a song that wasn't selected would start playing in the custom song browser after 30 seconds.
Fixed an issue that would cause the joysticks to scroll very fast through songs and not stop. This fix may not work if you have edited your SteamVR controller bindings. The bindings can either be reset to the games default, or you can put the missing bindings in yourself. The settings menu should tell you which bindings are missing if any.
Groove Gunner 1.0 Release Date Announcement!
We’re very excited to announce that Groove Gunner is leaving Early Access on February 10, 2022!
Thank you to all of our players for the feedback and behind the scenes testing. This has been especially helpful for those working on the beta branches and most recently for the launch of the Custom Song Browser, Online Library, and Song Editor Integration.
Kudos to those who not only tested the game, but streamed and shared it with their communities.
Also, we can’t say enough for those that have invested countless hours using the editor, giving suggestions, and developing maps that can now be shared directly through the in-game browser.
All that being said, we really feel that although there is always more to do, a solid foundation is in place for releasing the game to more players and helping it grow.
Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming full release.
LET'S GET OUR GROOVE ON!
Song Editor and Game Bug Fixes
Changed/fixed song editor so songs can be uploaded, exported, or edited after all difficulties are completed. Completed difficulties still can't have edits to targets or bullets but you can edit the stage show.
Fixed a few issues where song editor components had errors during initialization.
Fix target/bullet sounds in editor (no bullet sounds when simulate player is off, 'Perfect' sounds when simulate player is on) There are still target sounds when simulate is off currently, this may change in a future update.
Fixed the positioning and rotation of the song stats panel after a featured song has been played.
Bug Fix
Fixed issue preventing game from starting for some players.

Added additional error handling for downloading song lists for the custom song browser.
Fixed some errors around song download counts in the song browser.
Fixed a bug that would not display the song leaderboard after playing custom songs that have leaderboards enabled.
Fixed an issue with song constantly being available to update in the custom songs selection screen.
Fixed a few more bugs around custom song editor information displaying correctly.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that would allow you to play a locked difficulty on a custom song. This is usually not preferable to the player as difficulties are usually locked because they aren't really playable.
Fixed some bugs in the song editor regarding completed difficulties.
