First of all, we apologize for the inconvenience, especially to those who experience crashes. There are many reasons for this, but we have tried to act as quickly as possible and find suitable solutions.
1.2 fixes the following issues
VRAM overload and related crashes
Loading stutters in the first few seconds when you enter a level
No progress in the onboarding tutorial if you close the pause menu with "Continue"
Some additional caching solution
We will continue to work on optimizing even more and hope that this will solve the biggest problems temporarily.

We are still on it!
You haven't heard from us in a while. But we are still working on it. There's really a lot of stuff in the works. However, for various reasons we can't publish an update in the near future.
But here is a little preview of some features coming to VR Skater 0.X:
In the meantime, we were also nominated for the German Computer Games Award 2022 in the category "Technology and Innovation". Unfortunately, we did not win.
With the next major update, however, there will also be a price increase.
Keep on VR skating! <3

Additional
It is now possible to play the game with first generation WMR. However, this is not official, as we cannot guarantee smooth gameplay with the limited tracking volume and unresponsive buttons.
VIVE Wands Hotfix 0.2.1.2
