First of all, I would like to thank you for your enthusiastic interest and support since its launch on November 20, 2023.

We identified the issue of hand tracking being stopped when moving the stage while the object was gripped, and countermeasures were prepared and applied to the patch. If you download the version you posted today, you will be able to play the version that reflects that patch. Despite our countermeasures, hand tracking issues may arise at unexpected points. To address this, we added the 'RESET HAND' tab to the menu widget. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44739568/2639ea9daf2426b3cc5f53c5ee113d8400863c8d.png In the event of a bug or hand-freezing issue related to hand tracking, the 'RESET HAND' tab can be executed to reconfigure the hand actor and play normally again. Our BarSim team is continuing to test at what point the hand tracking bug occurs, and we are actively accepting feedback from users. If there is a hand tracking bug, please email us about the situation and it will help us solve the fundamental problem. EMAIL : kimhhyunjjun@gmail.com We apologize to all users who have experienced difficulties in playing due to unexpected bugs, and we will do our best to prevent negative experiences in the playing process due to bugs or issues.
