  An attempt to fix the black screen issue at startup ⬛🥶⬛

  It would be a crime to call this a "hotfix" when the bug in question has been chilling in our game for nearly a full year... so welcome to our Coldfix!We've been trying to solve a particularly annoying issue reported by some of our players: you launch UnLoop, hear the main menu music bumping in your ears, see the game rendering fine on your PC monitor... but your VR headset is giving you a pitch-black void. 🕶️Our Working Hypothesis 🔬While digging, we discovered that PC build was defaulting to DirectX 11 under the hood. Our current theory is that DX11 might be causing this rendering disconnect in VR. To be completely transparent: we aren't 100% sure if this is the actual cause or if this build will fully fix it. Since we haven't been able to reproduce the black screen on our local dev machines, this is an educated hypothesis that we need to test in the wild!Here is what we changed to test this theory:Vulkan by Default 🌋 – We have officially switched the default rendering API to Vulkan.DirectX 12 Option ⚙️ – Added an option to switch over to DirectX 12 if Vulkan doesn't do the trick.We Need Your Help 🙌If you were one of the players hitting the black screen bug, please jump into this build and let us know if Vulkan or DX12 actually fixes it for you!And for everyone else... well, you know us by now. We love shipping builds that accidentally break something completely unrelated! 🤡 So please check it out too, play around, and let us know if everything runs smoothly or if we managed to create a brand new mystery bug.Version 1.2.1. is uploaded to beta_test channel:Find UnLoop in your library, right-click it → Properties.Go to Game Versions & Betas and switch to the beta_test branch. No password needed.Wait for it to update, then launch the game.Check in the main menu that version marked as 1.2.1.Switch Vulcan to DX12:Open Properties for UnLoop in your library.Under General → Launch Options, paste -dx12Launch the game.After switching API, it may take a while for the shaders ...

  Update 1.2.0: Timer-Free Sandbox, UI Overhaul & Heavy Visual Polish! 🚀🧪

  A fresh update has landed into the timeline! ⏱️ We're super excited to introduce our new Sandbox playground alongside a massive round of QoL tweaks, physics fixes, and visual enhancements.Here is what’s new in this update:🔫 Sandbox Mode: AgentUnknown's Playgrounds – Dive into two brand new rooms: Rocket Science and If Everyone Jumped Off a Bridge…. There are no puzzle objectives or time pressure, so you can just mess around with time loops and replicas as much as you want!(Okay, full disclosure: there technically IS a timer running under the hood, but it's super long and hidden. We promise you won't notice it... hopefully! 🤫)We'll keep adding more sandbox rooms based on your feedback and bug reports, so test the limits and tell us what you want to see next!⚙️ UI and Settings:First-Launch Settings Window – New players (which probably isn't you since you're reading patch notes) will now get a setup window upon launching the game for the first time, making it easy to configure all VR options to your liking right away.Menu Overhaul – Reorganized settings with simplified titles so navigating the menus is much more intuitive.Haptics Toggle – Added a dedicated option to disable controller haptics in the settings menu.🧲 Interaction & Physics Fixes:Fixed battery holder handle interaction desyncs.Hands of past-you no longer resize during gestures, and items should no longer levitate in hands (they shouldn't anymore, let us know if your items are still attempting ascension).Fixed a bug on "Run the Gauntlet" where turrets would stop shooting if you got too close to them.🎨 Visual Polish, Many Bugfixes & Graphics Enhancements.NOTEDuring testing, we stumbled upon a wild bug on one device where the player spawned into the main menu completely upside down. We haven't been able to reproduce it on any other hardware so far. If the time loop flips your perspective and leaves you standing on your head in the menu, a game restart will temporarily fix it and get you right-side up! Please ...
