General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Hierarchy menu scrolling now works on touch platforms.
• Fixed vignettes not scaling with Maker Pen self-scaling on some VR platforms.
• Added 'Player Get Costume' chip in beta.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where some older rooms couldn't load.

• Added a hierarchy view to the Maker Pen menu for rooms with compound objects enabled.
• Fixed a bug where the Equals chip and the Equals (New) chip (beta) would return false when comparing equivalent Audio values.
• Fixed error tracking in 'Variable Changed' events.

Rec Room Studio

• Rec Room Studio rooms can now synchronize Unity Animators! Simply add the new RecRoomStudioAnimatorSynchronizer component to your prefab next to an Animator. Any joining player will now get the Animation synchronized! Studio Event access to the Animator is now limited through the new Component. Use the SetBool/Integer/Float/TriggerParameter calls on it for synchronized changes.
• You are no longer allowed to host public events in private rooms with Studio content that haven't passed moderation.
• Fix a bug where new saves in rooms with Studio content would sometimes automatically be set as the public save when they shouldn't be.

UGC Touchpad

• New UGC Touchpad component is now in Beta. Similar to how Whiteboards work, Touchpad gets a player's 2d input (hands in VR, cursor controls on Screens) to allow players to "touch" an object. Now you can pat, rub, and scrub like a pro!
• New chips/events in beta: Touchpad Touch Started, Touchpad Touch Updated, Touchpad Touch Ended, Touchpad Get Active Touch, Touchpad Get Interaction Enabled, Touchpad Set Interaction Enabled, Touchpad Get Interaction Label, Touchpad Set Interaction Label

Room Currency Customization Improvements

• Each currency can share the same icon, but they cannot share the same color.
• All existing currencies will still have the default icon, but the color(s) will be auto-assigned.

• We've begun rolling out the ability for players to purchase multiple Room Consumables in a single checkout. This feature is currently only available for paid Room Consumables.

• Fixed an audio issue that may have led to distorted or muffled audio in specific rooms.
• Test Event now has a string parameter in the Maker Pen menu! This allows for an easier trigger of debug chips.

• Fixed an issue where players joining rooms at the same time could wind up with corrupted player boards.
• Fixed the look of the Solstice Spring Bloom Antlers.

Rec Room Studio

• The Rec Room Studio circuit palette will no longer place deprecated chips when an updated version is available.
• Multiple object selection should work faster.
• Removed some annoying pauses while working on assets in larger rooms.

Circuits Updates

• Added a new Room Currency Constant chip in Beta, with support for Show Purchase Prompt, Award Currency, and Get Currency Balance chips. Note that the last two have their own new chips - Award Currency (New) and Get Currency Balance (New) respectively - and the old chips these two are based on will be deprecated once these leave beta.
  
• New List node!
  
• Added an 'Authority Changed' event to object boards in Beta.

• An empty progress circle will now display when hovering over a target player, if Player Interaction is enabled on them with a hold duration.
  
• Highlights and interaction prompts no longer persist if you hold down your input after completing a player interaction.
  

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• On Screens, when a player is next to an interactable and another player who's offering social gestures, the targeting and action will now prioritize interactable. Previously you were prompted to accept social gestures over interact.
  
• Maker Pen logging screen now supports multi-line strings.
  
• Fixed an issue where text was cut off in menu pop-ups.

• Rec Room Studio nested boards now display correctly again.
  

New Home

New Objective Marker System

• Mark an in-world point of interest using the new Objective Markers. Set up a marker by configuring an Objective Marker constant, and then move, activate, and modify it using a suite of related chips. This UI marker renders on top of everything else to help guide players to their destination.
• New Objective Marker chips in Beta: Objective Marker Constant, Get/Set Color, Get/Set Current Distance, Get/Set Distance Indicator Enabled, Get/Set Enabled, Get/Set Label Enabled, Get/Set Label, Get/Set Position, Get/Set Proximity Fade Threshold, Attach To Player Or Object, Get Target Object, and Get Target Player

Circuits

• New Beta Chips
  • If Player Is Valid
  • If Player Is Valid And Local
  • If Player Has Role
  • If Has Tag
  • Instance Get Max Players
  • Interaction Volume Set Hold Time
  • Interaction Volume Get Hold Time
• Fixed a bug which caused the Player Left event to fire twice for each person who left the room. We've split this up into two events: Player Leaving (fired just before a player leaves) and Player Left (fired just after a player leaves).
  • The Player Leaving event is the last moment at which a given Player value is valid. It's your last chance to do anything that assumes they're in the room.
  • The Player Left event fires just after a player has left. Therefore, the Player value received with the event will always be invalid. (But you can still compare it with other values using Equals.)
  • The old Player Left event has been deprecated, so existing rooms should be unaffected.
• Added default footstep and jumping SFX to the SFX Constant chip.
• When using the "Configure" tool on Circuits Chips, the "Chip Options" tab will now be open by default.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the 'Self' chip from being cloned.

• Better scaling on Manipulate tool handles with basic shapes.
• Fixed an issue where a drag input using the Manipulate tool on a shape container would error instead of switching to shape editing mode.
• Pressing tab will no longer break references to the edge you're currently trying to drag off.
• Fixed a bug that caused existing shapes that were scaled uniformly via their containers to lose that scale when enabling hierarchical building.
• Add buttons to AnimationController MakerPen Edit menu: "Clear Keyframes", "Clear Object Connections"

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where, when one player interacts with an Interaction Volume, the Interaction Volume would appear briefly disabled for other players.

• Fixed "Hide this Player's Name" setting on roles.
• Fixed an issue where some trees would have blocky-looking shadows on non-mobile platforms.

Rec Room Studio

• Gives creators a built-in way to have "billboard" style objects, including those with text on them! This just makes a very common object type more accessible to those less familiar with the troubles that come with 3D rotations.
• Added some prompts to save unsaved changes to scenes before closing them when switching open rooms.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Rec Room Object tags now support home values. Additions or deletions performed with tags through circuits will no longer save with the room, and will be reset when the room or object is reset.
• We've added a 'Bake Tags' button to the Maker Pen Circuits Settings page. The goal was to allow players to turn tag sets into warm delicious cookies; but instead it seems to allow players to save tags set through circuits.
• Improved the placement of the scale and move handles when using the Transform tool within a shape container with the "Rotate Around" pivot set.
• Fixed Room Door destination when multiple Welcome Mats are in subroom of current room.
• Shirts don't go that way! Fixed avatar items appearing sideways in the display case.

• Fixed a bug that caused port previews to rotate incorrectly when viewing them in VR.
• We're testing a "+" button next to the Token and Room Currency Balance that takes you to the page for purchasing more

Rec Room Studio

• Creators can now create new rooms without leaving Unity! In the "Open Room" dialog, enter the name of the new room you wish to create and, if that name is not in use, click the "Create" button to create the new room.
• Also in the "Open Room" dialog: creators can now search through a list of subrooms.
• Things that cannot be cloned in game (i.e. Role Chips) now also give you an error if you try to copy/clone them within RR Studio. This increases consistency when creating things both in game and in RR Studio. You can see if any built-in item is cloneable by checking its RecRoomObjectInstance component.
• Memory explorer can now help you find large or duplicate meshes that might be contributing to room memory bloat.
• Alpha testing now works for Rec Room Studio/Lit shader on Quest & Pico.
• Fixed an issue with Rec Room Studio rooms where Studio Objects that have a Physical PhysicsMode did not work for non-authority players.

Rec Room Studio

• The version of RR Studio that you are using now shows up in the Title-bar of Unity! This should make it easier to send screenshots of problems as you no longer have to go to the About window for RecRoom Studio to show Devs which version you're on.
• Initial version of the "Memory Explorer" tool. Memory Explorer is the first of a set of performance-focused tools that we're working on. It's intended to be a hub for estimating the memory cost of your room on different platforms. Initially, it only supports textures & render targets, but will be expanded over time with meshes, audio, animation, video, and any other large-level resources.
• There is now a Documentation... link within the Rec Room Studio drop-down in the Unity UI.
• Adding Rec Room Studio content to a room will no longer change the visual post-processing settings. (Translation: uploading a room from Studio for the first time won't make it lose the blue tint.)
• Fixed a Studio bug where Visual Post Processing effects would stop displaying in the scene view.
• Fixed a bug where the Environment Lighting settings in rooms uploaded from Studio would be ignored.

Circuits Updates

• Event Sender chips configured to Room Authority of Authority will no longer take network heat when the target player is local.
  
• Player Logic Boards have undergone some restructuring in order to improve performance and reduce their impact on the chip limit.

• Fixed a bug that caused extra undo steps to be added when creating shapes.
  

• Rec Room Studio no longer includes its own copy of Rec Room. Please install the latest Rec Room build via Steam or from rec.net. Make sure to launch Rec Room before running "Play Local."
  
• Objects created in Rec Room Studio for the orange scene now have consistent default values with objects created in-game with the Maker Pen. This provides more consistency across Rec Room Studio and Rec Room.
  
  
  
  • Wall running and clambering are now defaulted to true.
    
  
  
• Fixed an issue with setting custom texture sizes in Rec Room Studio for textures with resolutions smaller than 32x32.

• In VR, you can now trigger a reload by grabbing the handle using either trigger on your opposite hand. (Previously, it had to be your index finger... which felt weird.)
• The Reload Action Pressed/Held/Released events are now always only received by the player holding the gun handle. (Previously, it depended on whether they were in VR.)
