Connect Chat v2021.3.5

New Features
Backend

- Replaced the realtime, match-making, and voice chat servers with our own implementations.
- Each room can now host more than 1000 users.
- Up to 50 users are visible per room; the rest of the users will be in ghost mode with their avatar hidden and limited functionality.
- The new voice chat server is stable even when a large number of users are connected.
Greatly increased the current limit of 16 users per room to 50+!
Performance
- Improved avatar loading time.
- Avatar textures are automatically resized in order to reduce VRAM usage.
- Lip-sync is less CPU hungry.
- Optimized the default avatar's loading time and memory usage.
- Greatly reduced the overall application memory usage.
- Replaced the default VRM spring-bone implementation with a faster one.
Frame rate is more stable and frame rate drops are less frequent even when there are more than 50 users per room!
UI/UX
- Thumb-stick movement and smooth turn can be used in VR.
- Added the ability to back-step when using the teleport motion.
- Enabled positional audio (Oculus Spatial Audio).
- The warnings shown when the application starts can be skipped.
- When the login is skipped, an explanation about the consequent feature restrictions is shown.
- Voice chat in VR mode and desktop mode can now use different input devices.
We heard you! We added thumb-stick movement and made many other small usability improvements. Try them and let us know!
