Good news! We have addressed the performance issue that has been affecting many players since last Tuesday's "look who's talking" update. When Rec Room updates, that issue should be resolved.
Bad news! We did it by rolling back to the most recent version of Rec Room before the problem. That means we are TEMPORARILY losing a few features:
- Speech lines
- Reporting button - although reporting data accrued so far will be kept, this is just an interruption of reporting service.
- The "no kids allowed" notice on boot. Note this is not us changing our policy, we just have to work around this performance bug for a few days.
- Some improvements to vote-to-kick behavior
Sorry for this interruption and removal of features.
It sucks. We're not any happier about it than you are. But it should only be a few days. We are working hard to root cause the issue (it happened when we upgraded to latest Unity, but we're still figuring out the exact problem). We gotta do what we gotta do!
Thanks to those who helped us out on Steam and Reddit by testing some custom "perf" builds... that helped us narrow the problem down a lot. We are close to a fix, but we just don't have it yet and we don't want Rec Room unplayable by a sizable chunk of you over the weekend.
As always, we welcome any feedback you may have! Rest assured that we have lots of cool stuff in the works that will roll out in the weeks ahead.
