Hello there

We're excited to announce that our latest game update is now complete! Thank you for your patience during the update process. Here's what's new and fixed in this update:

VOIP 2 - Proximity Voice:
Voice chat/VOIP is now spatially integrated into the game world, with realistic effects such as sound occlusion by walls and echoes in environments.

Microphones: Creators can place microphones and speakers within their worlds. When you speak, your voice will project through in-game speakers. This brings an element of authenticity to scenarios like live stage events or PA systems.

Speakers: Microphones project your voice through in-game speakers, creating immersive scenarios like live events.

Walkie Talkies/Radios: Explore unique and atmospheric situations with player communication through walkie talkies. They'll be particularly interesting for scenarios like spooky maps.

Megaphone: Equip a megaphone to project your voice over a considerable distance in-game.

These Voice props will be made available to make creators through the Creation Kit shortly.

Voice Bubble: In the new Audio settings, you can tune how far away you hear other players from your point of view. This customization ensures a tailored audio experience that suits your preferences.

UI Improvements:
New UI System: Audio settings in the UI has been updated to use our new UI system. The Old UI will be progressively phased out.


Bug Fixes:


Improved viseme system: We've replaced the old viseme system with a more natural and responsive one.

Improved VR Streaming Support: Our support for VR streaming applications like Virtual Desktop has been improved, ensuring smoother gameplay for those who prefer this mode.

Social system upgrade:
Please note that the social system upgrade will be included in a future update. We've chosen to focus on delivering a better experience without cramming too many changes into this update.

We hope you enjoy these enhancements and the improved experience. Your feedback is invaluable to us, so please don't hesitate to share your thoughts and report any issues you encounter.

Thank you for being a part of our community. We look forward to seeing you in the game!
