- Adjusted the hip slots volume placement when VR player goes into crouch and prone to reduce false positives.
- We heard your feedback that the new default shirt for costumes was causing clipping issues. Now, when you equip a costume that hides torso items, you’ll see the old default shirt again.
- Improved the Screens-to-VR Handshake interaction, so for Screens players interaction with VR players:
- The prompt for accepting a handshake from a VR player changed from “Add Friend” to “Extend Hand”. (The VR player can complete the interaction.)

Rec Room Studio
- A new component called ProBuilder Optimization can now be used to save memory when using ProBuilder by creating optimized Unity meshes for runtime! If you add the component to your existing ProBuilder Mesh objects, you can use the Optimize button in the Inspector to create an optimized mesh. If you need to edit the mesh again with ProBuilder, the Edit button restores the original ProBuilder Mesh component.
Experiments
- Starting an experiment for a new title screen landing page that will affect some players. This will give players the ability to join friends that are already online in public rooms from the title screen!- Starting an experiment for party size warnings when traveling to a room too small for the size of your party. No Bean or FBA left behind!
