12 Nov 2020Developer post

This article is a release note for VirtualCast Beta. For information on how to play Beta, see here.

New Feature

Released the Room feature.
- Currently the user interface is available in Japanese only. English localization is coming soon.
- The details of the Room will be introduced in our blog soon.

From now on, press and hold the menu button while touching an item to open a context menu.
- This change is made to avoid the context menu from popping up unintendedly by pressing the menu button while an attachable VCI is attached near your hands. This allows you to open the ring menu anytime by just pressing the menu button shortly.
Unified the naming convention of images exported from whiteboard to that of images exported from capture camera.
Changed the display speed of button texts and ticker messages in the ring menu.
Changed the controller binding for Grip and Use on Index controllers.

Press A to Use	Press the trigger to Use

Made an internal improvement on the rotation speed and locomotion speed settings.

Changed the maximum length of the hand laser from 10m to 20m.
Changed the laser shooting out of context menu to follow the object of interest.

Fixed the issue where sometimes unintended button was displayed outside of the ring.
Fixed the issue where sometimes the "VCI LOADING" object kept existing even after the VCI is deleted.
Fixed the issue where an image on the queue card was not visible from a certain angle when the opacity of the queue card is set to 100%.
Fixed the issue where you sometimes couldn't enter official studios properly (turns completely black).
Fixed the issue where pressing the trigger lightly while in the finger paint mode disables the finger paint mode.
Fixed the issue where the sound effect was not played when a VCI is deleted.
Fixed the issue where the nameplate's voice indicator did not turn off when the mic mute is enabled while speaking.
Fixed the issue where the FOV of a camera is not synced when entering a studio.

You can now keep the show/hide setting of the VCI debug console between studios.
- Due to this change, your current setting will be reset to "disabled."
- Due to this change, the [VCI Debug] button in the ring menu > [System] will always be visible regardless of the setting in the title settings > [VCI] > [Display debug information in studio].
