Description

We’ve all had this issue for awhile. Not sure if it was intentional by design, but if it was, I’d like to know why.

We can’t go to a private instance, if you’re in an event instance of the same room. We have to leave the event instance before it’ll let us switch to a private.

Can we talk about this? lol

I understand the issue you are having. Rec Room saw people were having this issue and added extra options on the “This Room” tab. You should have these options at the top of the watch menu when pressing the “This Room” button on the bottom of your watch during the event. (Let me know if this isn’t available for you so I know its different for other players, thanks)

Here’s what happens when I try and switch instances during an event. I made an event just to take a video of what happens. Since I can’t upload the video, here’s screenshots and the last one where it shows the notification “going to the lithium bar” that’s all that happens, never takes me to neither public or private instance

To me, it didn’t even work anywhere. I couldn’t access the RecCon Keynote yesterday (2024). It said the event was full but we know it isn’t supposed to happen in a RecCon event as it’s multi-instance AND private mode.

I see what you mean now. That’s very strange. I have never come across this before. Thanks for making it known

All of the live events on the board from the first day of rec con were saying Full for me as well. If they were multi instance events, they were not working properly. I wasn’t aware they were supposed to be multi instance and private. Did you get to attend any of the events? The only one I got to attend ended up getting hacked, spawned in the vampires

I actually did join the Rec Con Keynote with Gribbly and Maxpowers but I wanted to watch it in private mode. I tried switching and didn’t work, so I tried leaving that instance and then I was locked out of the keynote completetly.

How does that work anyways? How are we all watching the same thing from different instances?

RecRoom has an in-house tool called broadcasting. It allows streaming player data and circuit event’s to multiple active instances. Some people are given access for RecCon or hosting events.

Basically it’s technology that allows you to broadcast yourself to other instances. For events. Idk about the more technical stuff cuz I don’t have access to it.

So does that mean the people we were watching on stage wasn’t actually in the same instance with us?

Yup! All broadcasting to tens or hundred’s of instances.

Surprises me that this surprises people.

There is a reason the ‘Broadcasting’ tag is above their head.
