New Feature - Random Song Button
[p]A new
Random Song button has been added to the top of the song list.[/p][p]It does exactly what you’d expect:
pick a random song from your list and jump in.[/p][p]A small feature, but a nice one for when you can’t decide what to play.[/p]
New Audio Feedback - Jammin' Combo Meter
[p]The
Jammin' combo meter now has audio effects to go along with the new visuals.[/p][p]This helps give the meter a little more punch and makes those moments feel more satisfying.[/p]
New Online Feedback - Your Turn to Pick
[p]In
online Jam Sessions, there is now a new
full-screen effect when it’s your turn to pick the next song.[/p][p]This should make the handoff a lot clearer, especially in busier sessions.[/p]
New Options Tab - Online
[p]There is now a dedicated
Online tab in the options screen.[/p][p]This includes the following settings:[/p]
Enable Round-Robin Pick Mode
[p]Players take turns picking songs in online Jam Sessions.[/p][p]If disabled, song picking returns to
host-only.[/p]
Thinking Timer Enabled
[p]If enabled, players will have a timer to pick the next song.[/p][p]When
30 seconds remain, a visual countdown will appear on screen.[/p][p]If the timer runs out:[/p]
- [p]a song will be chosen at random[/p]
- [p]the picker will not be able to back out of instrument selection[/p]
[p]To avoid awkward failures, the game checks whether the chosen song can actually be played by the current lobby before locking it in.[/p]
Thinking Timer Value
[p]Sets how much time players get to choose a song if the Thinking Timer is enabled.[/p][p]Range:
10 seconds to 180 seconds (3 minutes)[/p]
Fixes
[p]This patch also includes a few fixes and additional online improvements:[/p]
- [p]Fixed rubber banding issues in online song selection when clients were picking songs[/p]
- [p]Additional hardening of the join / content sync flow[/p]
[p]Thanks you to my wonderful community for all the feedback, testing, and support![/p][p][/p][p]As always, keep jammin~[/p][p]Frank, Restless Games[/p]
