• All level 40+ players should have access to FBA now, check it out in your dorm room mirror!
  
• FBA Beta fix: For items that are supposed to hide ears (ear covering hair items), or completely hide hands (ex: boxing gloves), the full body avatar will now do the right thing and properly remove that part of the player.
  
• We fixed the strange "mouth askew" issue that you could only see on other players, and while fixing it, we improved the range of adjustments you can make for the full body avatar. You can still smirk if you want to!
  
• We also did some work to prevent face features from colliding, so an avatar always has the right order of features from top to bottom: eyebrows, eyes, nose, then mouth… heeeeeead, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes!)
  
• We gave our full body avatars the power of telekinesis! This will fix the issue where held objects are restricted by the length of your arm. We can’t wait to find out the unintended consequences of this!

• Sometimes when switching between avatar types, your avatar's ability to push buttons or trigger volumes with your hands stopped working. Fixed!

• Fixed an issue where a hierarchy could have different authorities for different objects within it. Just like the mitochondria is always the powerhouse of the cell, hierarchies will always match the authority of the root object.
  
• Loading into a subroom from another subroom in the same room can now show the subroom name in the loading screen in addition to the room name.
  
• Default custom locomotion graph now contains wall run and players now are able to perform wall run out of the box on the surfaces that are configured correctly. PARKOUR!
  
• Supporting the pricing of Offers with Inventory Items. Offers priced with Inventory Items do not require RR+ membership. The price icons for these offers are customizable, similar to room currency in Rooms 1.

• Improved accuracy of the CV2 row in the Memory Explorer.

There are several more updates to Player Prompt Multiple Choice in this update which also apply to this new chip.
• Updates to Player Prompt Multiple Choice:

  • Hitting the X button now works the same as hitting the Cancel button
  • A warning now shows in the maker pen log if the chip is run while a prompt is already open

We're starting to roll out big updates to third-person mode!

Soon you will be able to pick things up, throw a ball, shoot a gun, and swing a sword (you know, actually engage with the world), all in the third-person mode! And it will be a great way to enjoy your full-body avatar.

• Q: What platforms will support third-person? A: All Screens platforms (Gamepad, Keyboard, and Touch). No out-of-body experience for VR.
  
• Q: When will I get it? A: We're carefully A/B testing this feature over several rounds, hopefully "Soon"
  
• Q: What is happening to first-person? A: First-person mode is here to stay! Third-person will be an entirely optional way to play.
  
• Q: How does third-person work in UGC Rooms? A: By using our cross-platform building blocks like Handles, Interaction Volumes, Locomotion Circuits, etc. most rooms already work great in third-person! Later, we'll add new circuits for creators to customize or restrict third-person if the room is meant to be played in a specific way.

We believe "iteration is quality", and we'll be iterating on third-person a lot this year, so let us know your feedback!

• Player UIs only show above your own head in third person if you have opted in to Show Own Nametag in Third Person
  
• Touch can now reliably tap on old UIs like the costume equip button. Touch hides the dot reticle while targeting UI since it only uses direct tap.
  
• Fixed a bug where Screens could not interact with Scoreboards from the same distance as VR
  
• Camera shake and recoil are tuned and limited to reasonable amounts in certain cases
  
• While wall climbing, Screens can drop off (or slowly descend) by pressing Crouch
  
• Fixed the infinite shot bow bug.
  
• Fixed a bug in Rooms 2 which prevented you from changing default values for Player Properties on a Player Definition Board.
  
• Restrict KBM Marquee Selection to the current scope in Rooms 2. Allowing selection across scope led to a variety of issues.

• Introducing the water shader, one of the tools we've been creating for My Little Monsters! Now you can make your water features POP in all new ways. Check out the new example water assets! Prefabs can be found under `Assets/DefaultAssets/Prefabs/Environmental Assets/Water Examples/
  
• When dragging a new wire from a Studio object board, the Studio Function chip is now included among the list of chips that can be created and automatically connected to the new wire.
  
• Fixed a number of issues in R2 rooms around copying, duplicating, and pasting objects that are children of a container.
  
• The 'Set HUD Element Enabled' chip uses the Slot configuration of the Room Level HUD chip that it is connected to.

• Fixed an issue with the Swing Handle where other players could trigger swings for a VR player.
• Fixed an issue where objects with default tags wouldn't keep those tags on clone in Rooms 2.0.

• Studio Objects now have a default Object Board that contains the In and Out ports for its Unity Properties and Unity Events. Default Object Boards for Studio Objects are only available once a room has been re-built from RR Studio -- older room saves will still have an empty Object Board when creating an Object Board for Studio Objects.
• Custom skyboxes are working again!
• Fix RRStudio not relaunching for some users after an update is applied. (Fix will apply on the next release after this one)

Please see here for convenient links to controls, tutorials, comfort options, etc.:https://recroom.com/community

We love to hear your feedback, so please don't hesitate to let us know what you think.

• We've added a couple of audio settings (echo cancellation and background noise suppression) that we're going to be rolling out over the coming weeks. These can interfere with sample recording and playing music through your microphone. If you notice any issues with either of those activities, try turning these settings off in the Audio Settings.
• While targeting a drawing surface with a marker in hand, you will no longer be able to target or swap with other tools in view. Touch players can now properly go into draw mode by pressing the Draw prompt on screen.
• Added the following nodes into beta: Not Equals, List Add If Not Contains, List Distinct, List Union, List Intersect, List Except
• Data Tables now support Inventory Items as a column type.

• Fixed a bug with inventions causing dorm anchors to not work correctly. Inventions with dorm anchors which were created while this was broken will need to be fixed and re-saved.
• Adjusted the landscape geo in \^RecRoyale to eliminate spots where players can get stuck in falling animation.
• Fixed an issue where leaving ShareCamera in Tripod mode in front of a physical button can block the button from being pressed by other players.
• Fixed a bug that allowed shapes to be inverted.
• Fix rotation and inversion toggles for RR Studio billboards.
• Fixed an issue with invention rotation during spawn while using ACM.

• Fixes an issue where the center pivot operation could not be undone while in edit mode.

• You can no longer accidentally delete nodes in the Circuit Editor that should not be deleted (ex: In/Out nodes within Object Boards)
• RR doesn't support point light shadows. Removed shadow options from point lights.
• Objects that are connected to scaled clamps, pistons, and rotators now show up in the right place and at the right scale.
• Added new Inspector buttons to Create New Object Boards for objects that could have a board, but don't currently.
• Fixed an issue where the Object Board attachment mode was set to Attached on every Object Board when saving rooms in RR Studio.
• Fixed a bug with the default position and rotation when placing new objects into the Maker Pen Scene (e.g. a new Button).
• R2 rooms now support hierarchy changes involving Object Boards. Previously moving an object like a Button into a Container in Studio would leave the Button's object board in a corrupted state. Now the Button's object board will be moved into the Container's Object Board as expected.
• When moving, rotating, or scaling hierarchies of objects in R2 rooms, objects will now end up in the right place and at the right scale, without jittering around in the process.
• Fixed an error message that appeared when attempting to test Rooms 2.0 subrooms in-game.
