Hey all,
Version 0.17.3 was just released. It fixes several bugs, and there are still more bugs to be fixed in the next few days.
Fixes & Improvements
- fixed Visual C++ Runtime error (crash on start)
- fixed desktop audio streaming bug where volume was too low (so you think it's not working, but it is)
- fixes for desktop audio streaming stuttering and functionality
- fixed keyboard shift key
- added ability to hide your primary monitor (very useful in the Cinema, instead of moving the screen outside of view)
- added toggle for NPCs
- monitor position/saving improvements
By now, everyone should be able to proper start/stop desktop audio streaming. There may be a few remaining bugs There may still be some crashes or freezes when people leave, or when you shutdown. Desktop audio streaming is a complicated beast, so please report these issues when it happens so we can work on it.
Need your help on this
- The "forever alone" bug: not properly connecting to rooms and ending up in the living room. Please email your debug logs, this is a really weird bug to figure out
- The "no one can hear me" bug: in Multiplayer, nobody can hear you but Bigscreen's Settings > Audio shows the microphone is properly working
You can also expect a few performance improvements in the next update, especially in the Cinema. Nobody has a VR Cinema of this fidelity, but that also means it uses a lot of performance. Keep that in mind!
