How about some updates on existing games?

Evil fire was added over a week ago completely broken and we havent heard anything on this getting fixed.

Vacation simulator: months ago we did that survey saying the arcade version was terrible and they said they would address that. Are they still working on it? Have we heard anything?

Beat saber: once upon a time they promised they would add the songs packs to arcade version. Was this a lie? The first song pack came out what 7, 8 months ago?

Superhot: in regards to the most recent update. The new boundary system is not enabled by default and they only way i can see to do it is to launch the game, then change the setting, then save and restart it. Is there a way to change this setting in a config file? Rubs me the wrong way to have to log in and pay licensing in order to change a setting even if its just a minute, and kind of time consuming.

Hey Eric! Thanks for bringing up these titles as well.

Happy to provide insight.

Evil Fire: The Devs have been contacted already by the SBVR team and are working on a fix.

Vacation Simulator: We have not received an update on timeline or changes since sharing the feedback with them. Their team informed us they would be working on an update but with no timeline.

Beat Saber: We are hoping for more clarity post OC6. Their team has been hard at work on the home version and some of the new changes recently announced. Part of the challenges here are licensing the songs in a commercial setting vs home which means some songs may never make it to a commercial setting.

SUPERHOT: Arcade Totally understand the frustration here. I'll share the instructions linked in the manual(founded in the Knowledge Base) and also link the manual as well.

Sharing Admin Panel Settings Between PCs

Please backup your arcade.ini files before attempting such an operation.

You may wish to share settings chosen in the Admin Panel on one PC with all others in your arcade or LBE space. For example, so you don't have to manually set the same custom settings, boundary area or game mode manually on each PC.

Sadly however there is no convenient way to achieve this.

The best solution currently available involves copying one arcade.ini file from one PC to many others. We are exploring better options but this is as good as it gets so far.

Launch SUPERHOT VR: Arcade Edition and set the custom settings and options. Once you are happy with your chosen settings, within the Admin Panel, select Save & Restart Once the game has restarted, exit the game. Locate the arcade.ini file. See above for how to do this. Copy the arcade.ini file to a USB pen drive or other storage device Locate the arcade.ini file on the PC you wish to use your custom settings Copy the arcade.ini file from the USB pen drive (or chosen store device) and replace the existing arcade.ini file

Although this procedure is far from ideal it should hopefully still save you some time. Using remote desktop to access all the PCs you wish to update may also help speed up the process. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j1ucwgtIZTOZ6e4UEslAcdKFd9WrkVKha10LMU37Kcs/edit#

Thanks again Eric, let me know if you have any other questions!

Can you provide any broad strokes on Tower Tag licensing? Will it be ppm or fixed monthly etc?

Hey Conor!

At the moment we are currently unable to communicate these details.

Totally understand the need to know as much as possible ahead of time!

We will make sure to release details around pricing, launch date, and other news about Tower Tag launch as soon as we're able.

Have some very exciting announcements, suffice to say :)

It says check back weekly for updates and there has been no updates on any of these games in over 2 weeks now. Is it just that there has been no progress or change on any of these?

Hey Eric!

We did update the post last week with minimal updates.

New updates coming through shortly as well.

I will add in text at the top indicating when it was last updated for future reference.

Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts, they are always helpful!

Perfect, I see that now, I was expecting a new post rather than the original being updated and hadn't noticed the changes to it. Do you have any details on what is going on with Tower Tag - originally this was going to be available "any day now" back in August and now its suddenly November.

Is it an issue of getting it to work with the Springboard launcher because of the setup with using a host pc? I know there are a number of games that use a host computer to run everything and Springboard isnt really set up for that, and each one is going to be wildly different, so maybe it would be worth looking into having a way to just track usage rather try trying to make a custom CDS build. After all we all want to get as much LBE specific content as possible on platform, and it seems like the launcher in its current form is a bit of a roadblock for a lot of that content. Both the Ubisoft escape rooms and the Arvi Escape rooms launch from the host computer as a group and they have great management software, so why not leave it as is and just track usage per min (or per station when monthly flat rates become available) so we don't have to sign a bunch of 3rd party agreements and handle multiple invoices every month?
