changedPanic Button - In the event that unwanted audio or visual spam occurs or that frame rate tanks you can now engage a “Panic Mode”. This mode will visually mute any avatars and audio mute any users who are not your friends. Desktop : both Shift keys AND ESC key Rift : both triggers OR both grips, AND both menu buttons (B/Y) Vive : both triggers OR both grips, AND both menu buttons Windows Mixed Reality and other VR controllers : both triggers OR both grips, AND both menu buttons XBox Controller : both triggers AND back AND menu buttons Once you enable Panic mode, you must disable it by unchecking options in the System menu: Mute Users by Default - All users except for your friends will be mic-muted until you friend them Block Avatars by Default - All users except for your friends will have their avatars blocked until you friend them
addedNew Rows in the Worlds menu In response to the community stating that high quality/fun worlds were being lost in the constant stream of new worlds, we have introduced two new rows in the Worlds menu: Community Spotlight - Worlds of high quality, interesting content, or fun games Avatar - Avatar worlds with lots of pedestals to choose from
changedAvatar Audio - Avatar sound effects are now affected by the “SFX” slider in the System menu. In upcoming releases this will be getting its own audio slider in the menu.
addedVive Movement/Gesture Changes The HTC Vive Wands now have a new movement system that allow you to walk and hold gestures while moving Select your gestures as normal, however they will only hold as long as you hold your thumb on the touchpad. Center will give you the “closed hand” gesture. Pulling and holding Trigger will “save” that gesture to the trigger, allowing you to move while gesturing. Finally, you don’t need to hold down the touchpad button to move! Just tap it once to start moving, and tap it again to stop (or just lift your thumb from the pad) Any motion input, movement, turn or jump, requires you to release the pad and touch it again to trigger gestures. There is a slight delay the first time you touch the pad to give you time to click it for motion, to avoid accidentally triggering a gesture.
