AltVR Discord Announcement:

Hello World Builders!

Let’s get to the most important info first: The URP Unity update build will not go live tomorrow, October 5.

With the help of the community and through internal testing, we have identified some must-fix bugs. As many of you are building amazing worlds and hosting major events, we know you need advanced notice, so we are committed to giving at least 7 days’ notice before the URP update build goes live.

To the AltspaceVR world builders and creators who have come along with us through this upgrade transition: thank you. We know you have spent many hours, nights, and weekends working to update your content. We want to get this done quickly, but we care about quality a lot and want to make more improvements before shipping.

Thank you,
The AltspaceVR Team

Original post:

This update also includes an upgrade to Unity 2020.3.18, which fixed several issues our team encountered with previous builds. Unity 2020.3.18 is backwards compatible and will support your Unity 2020.3.9 content. Worldbuilders can choose to build with Unity version 2020.3.9, or update at a later time to their leisure.
