The CINEMA UPDATE UPDATE - Bigscreen Beta v0.17.1 patch is now live on Steam

Hey all,

Version 0.17.1 was just released. It fixes several bugs, and there are still more bugs to be fixed in the next few days.

Bugs that we just fixed

  • Desktop audio streaming—fixed bug
  • Desktop audio streaming—fixed bug where local audio would mute if all players leave your room
  • Desktop audio streaming—fixed bug where audio sounded "choppy"
  • Desktop audio streaming—fixed bug where you heard yourself echo (please DO NOT change the Windows Sound Manager settings in your system tray after starting desktop audio streaming in Multiplayer)
  • Desktop audio streaming—fixed inbound volume issues
  • Desktop audio streaming—fixed bug where devices weren't selected due to international characters in the device names (German, Russian, etc.)
  • Gaze mouse—fixed and now works in Cinema
  • Cinema—fixed bad performance when leaving the Cinema and going into other environments

Other known bugs that we plan to fix this weekend

  • Poor performance in the Cinema environment sporadically for some users
  • Poor internet connections/hiccups cause disconnections
  • Not properly connecting to rooms and ending up forever alone in the living room

Keep in mind the Cinema is a highly demanding environment with expensive realtime lighting that uses a lot of graphics horsepower. We do plan on improving this further in the future, and there are some actual bugs with Cinema performance (randomly), but just a heads up on what to expect!

These known bugs will be patched this weekend and in the coming weeks.

We're also planning on jumping into Bigscreen tonight to watch some movies and play some games. Say hi if you see devs in the rooms!
