new bean is dog shit
It isn’t lmao
the new bean is unoptimized
the move is obv a cash grab to make people buy all the new ugcs
How dawg I haven’t seen any issues with it
Performance reason
its so goofy
and this too
They have silenced us in the main chat we must prevail Gentlemen
@upbeat zenith
Yh new bean is a cash grab though to make people buy ugcs so game gets interest from investors, also why u think they would put it out sk fast and ignore community they were just complaining about money so this is them just making the game cash grab
rr baseball done for 💔
onb
rr wrestling is baked 😭
Dawg, y’all will be fine
rr basketball is just NOW getting used to it but everytime mfs jump they arms look like space jam
I said that a long time ago
yeah i gotta be forced to play leagues with a laggy unoptimized body
Your gonna be fine without it
What does this even mean dude
It’s not though, old bean was far worse
yes sir
Why are we getting rid of it if it’s a option to use it
cash grab
Nah bro actually run some fps tests and the differences are worse, it’s a cash grab they lying about performance and stuff so they get people to buy ugc
yup now you "may" aswell buy UGC items
They want investors to take interest in the game
But with the reviews and state of this server rn thats chopped
promise you all the rr ugc creators complained enough to get the old bean so theyre low qual blender hats can be bought
Because they let us continue to use it up until now as a way to ease us into new bean, it’s a part of sunsetting the old ones
They already made a full post about them not having enough money and then they talking about forcing new bean and “split test”
“Split test” code word for get more money asap
I’m not gonna talk anymore y’all won’t listen you’ll just keep believing yelling a hashtag will do anything
Sorry man but old bean is gone, if you don’t like it there are other games to play
maybe if they consistently rereleased their good clothing they'd get revenue
can you explain how its unoptimized, id like an explanation on how
I was fine on old bodies.
Old Rec Room was built with what’s essentially spaghetti code, including old bean, it was a mess
Think like… memory leaks and shit
im about to start a whole revolution cause of that.
Let’s be honest the game is kinda wack now too then
yup.
Changing the bean bodies isn’t gonna change the game entirely
New bean aims to fix those old issues with fresh code
It’s almost pointless
Are they gonna fix anything else?
Like the hacker issue
It won’t fix rec room all together but it’s a step
Or get a new engine?
Referee is their solution, they’re still tweaking it to be better than EAC was, and it allows them to release security stuff and all that sooner than they could using EAC
removing bean V1 is going to be FATAL mistake for rec room.
So keeping the bodies optional made the game code worse?
I don’t think it’ll be nearly as bad as you think
yeah but for me and my friends it is.
It was basically them working on the new code while the old gross code sat there taking up valuable resources and performance
So that’s the reason why the game runs like monkey ass?
I mean there are other social games out there
It’s one of them, it’s the same reason the new ui exists, old code sucked, new code is much better
yeah but rec room is VERY unique me and my friends are probably going to stay but... we're not gonna like it.
Idk man ima try this out. I’m a RecRoom wrestler like I said before so idk how this new body would look
The creator forum posts talk about them much better than I can, I recommend checking those out if you have the time
I’m sure the game will get better, albeit slowly
yeah. fair enough. thats why im prob staying
Right now they’re focusing on trying to pull out of their poor financial state while making as many improvements to the game as they can
getting rid of bean V1 isn't really an improvement tbh in my opinion.
I recommend joining Research Lab if you haven’t yet, they’ll email you surveys that you can do to input your opinions on new stuff as well as changes to existing features
what’s the point of removing it this is some bs
Performance and outdated
Remove old bean already
😐
Reason to remove. So people spend more cash on ugc. Well Welcome for the information.
Um yeah thats not why
its a big reason dont they need money?
Well yeah but the reason they are removing old bean has nothing to do with money
you are one really smart man i must say
Thanks man

CookieLyne also said yesterday there was a cost to maintain it in a functionnal state along with new bean and FBA (apparently old bean has been breaking a lot). So costs saving is another reason.
Technical and development purposes. I'm not a game developer nor do I work for Rec Room but I'd imagine a big motivating factor was ease of future development. Moving bean to the same systems that FBA uses unifies the two body types on a tenchinal level and I would imagine that makes it easier to work with
Also classic bean is just an old system, and mataining that system on top off all the new avatar stuff they have been doing isnt really sustainable
Because they haven’t been updating it for like 3 months?!??!
There’s a reason why
I wish Rec Room would get more into the technical aspects of this sort of thing publicly because I think it'd answer a lot of people's questions
I also think the rollout of new bean wasn't played as well as it could've been but it's kind of whatever at this point
Once more fixes come out regarding the animations it'll be in a good spot (or maybe once those fixes in the blog post drop because it's kinda hard to gauge how effective they'll be through a low framerate gif)
Also optimization is another part. Rec Room's biggest platforms are weaker systems and they benefit from any optimization they can get
Old bean wasn't the worst optimized thing in the world ofc but it wasn't exactly as performant as it could be and it wasn't built with the lower-end platforms in mind
(And by lower-end I mean Quest primarily)
And it kinda comes back to technical because I'd imagine optimizing the bean avatar would've been a really huge task if they stuck with the old system
It's a huge task either way but in the long-term it's the better choice to take the time to update it to the new system and do a full rework than to attempt to patch up a near decade-old avatar system that likely had large technical issues that aren't player-facing
They’re doing this because it’s a complicated way of saying “We care about your money, not your feelings”
Actually, no
It’s another way of saying “F*&# you! Give us money”
That’s what I’ve been saying
For years because somehow people still haven’t caught on that’s it’s been more like that
I want classic bean 😭
What is this
It's not loading for me
Then let it load
Costume dummy's will still be broke
They are looking at it
Yeah well it isn't
I waited 5 minutes for it
That's why I'm asking
Try opening it in your browser
Oooo nvm we good now
I wus gunna say bc if it breaks costume dummy's it's over for the creative community
People still use costumes v1?
Yes it's the most used costumes plus if u look at it on maker pen it doesn't say v1 or v2 for ither costume dummy
Look at top inventions, a scp invention is both top 2 and classic costume dummy
Any armour room, clan, rp game, invention majority use original aswell
I already know they will bring it back give it time
They won't. They're not going back on this.
They seem to like killing their game so I don't think so
Money reasons aside, RR already explained why they remade the bean and they had really valid reasons to do so.
The whole game is in a bad shape optimizations wise. The new avatars and Rooms 2.0 are them trying to fix the game by making more robust foundations to make the game run better. (Eventually anyways, because R2.0 isn't really there yet)
It has been explained over and over.
The game will die no doubt they will have no choice💔
If they fix the face tho like make it look like the old avatars it'll be way better
Then what's the point of removing old bean then 😭
They are making new bean more like old bean when they can just keep old bean 😭
Why not keep the old bean in the first place, yes we understand it may be ‘unoptimized’ however with keeping it you also keep a large portion of your player base, just rerelease old content that could attract even old players back into Rec Room, I don’t personally give a shit about the new bean but I respect the reason why they’re doing it, either way the point still remains of just keeping it, and do keep this mind.
It could just be me (because I am a LITTLE biased) but when the new bean is fully out and it starts to cause problems, like how everyone is claiming the old bean is, then it’s just a cycle of stupidity that everyone is following
I feel like eventually they’re going to move everybody from the new Bean to full body. We shouldn’t give them an inch because soon everybody will be using full body.
in all fairness Syrus brings up a good point, why remove the old bean just so they can make the new bean feel ‘familiar’
After alot of people leave they are going to cause they gonna need money
Yuh
Moral of the story is: just keep Old Bean, as people may see it ‘unoptimized’ but you will still keep your player base
They wanna upgrade the game but are doing stuff that make people not wanna play it
The game already is in a terrible state now they are actually making people leave
money may be tight which is understandable, but if you have a community that loves the game bc it’s nice the way it is (before enforcing new bean) then why change it at all
Exactly the game is dead I asked half the people they said they were gonna quit after the update releases RR is just ducking about a lot of players wanting to play it with new avatars
Fair enough
Greed is one powerful sin for most people
The new avatars make you look like shi I tried to use it I can't bro😭
Keep what ima say next in mind
How much do you wanna bet that the minute that new bean becomes popular and everything, it’s gonna get a shit ton of back lash more than it’s already getting
It's as good as dead
At least Deimos knows
either way, if they change their minds beforehand by listening to their community which I doubt will happen
we might have hope
They have two options
They say it's permanent but rr won't have any choice to bring back old bean if players leave
Change their mind and listen to the community or go through with it and kill their already dying game
It'll happen
Once they see how much people leave
It's like they are holding a gun to the game and the next update is them pulling the trigger
Watch them be like "Why did no say anything? We would have kept it."
Plus this is where they originally formed from why would they want to get rid of something that was used in 2017-2025
It's a bunch of bs rr is shit but the old avatars aren't doing shi to the game RR just wants to piss people off and try to make more money
Enough is enough can we all agree they’re just removing it for a good reason I understand maybe People still cares about the old bean and I’m so tired of people doing #KeepOldBean & #KeepClassicBean can we shut up about it because it’s been like two days about this announcement and like I’m not trying to be that guy but the people who still use the old been it’s time to move on I know a lot of stuff is changing in rec room I know for a fact a lot of avatars are changing but you know life move on and we have a deal with it I’m not trying to be saying you should switch to UBA but listen I know so many people who use costumes, making cool outfits, or making on outfits for their entertainment we don’t need all this fighting over which one is better we’re all in the same community and we should appreciate what is rec room doing for us I understand so many of my friends who don’t like the new upgrading bean avatar I completely understand I know it’s hard to get used of new change we have to deal with FBA and look how it leads us to know some people still like full body and some people still don’t but we still give it a chance and I know for a fact that UBA can maybe get the same cans at the FBA I don’t want people fighting over the stupid argument about rec room is dying and all this can we all agree rec room try their best and what they can do please I’m just asking 🧡

Yeah well the game is going to be fucking dead from this update
I wonder why they were losing dev time…
Oh hey Zur
o/
Because of old bean body, it is not worth fixing every time
Cause of new bean
To focused on a shitty version of old bean
Maybe if they would stop rushing everything
With the new bean body
But new bean is easier to work with, and it doesn't break with every little changes
Well yes, but also because they fired 16% of their staff
Meh, old bean can go. I like pointing with gloves
Then use full body!
I could, but I can also use an improved bean avatar with features the full body has too
And hey, never said I don't use full body either
Do not use the word improved
Well not like the old bean has improved anything in the past years
How could it have improved anything if it was once the only option???
Old bean is quite literally the improved version of classic bean
But now it isn't, and imrpovements have to be made
And new bean is a down grade
No it doesn’t. Because it’s been in the game for years. God gave you a brain, use it
Old bean is great
very nice of you mr old bean enjoyer
But it's been in the game for years, that's why an upgrade needs to be made
New bean is clunky and somehow has worse Animations
Then once again. Tell me how the og rooms don’t need upgrades?
OG rooms such as?
If you're talking about paddleball.. it's fucking paddleball
They have improved dodgeball
there are still glitches in the quest that have been there since 2018
Not in looks, but they have tried fixing some stuff with it
Like?
there is a glitch where you can skip a entire part of Golden
bruh the faces suck, we don’t need damn eye brows
Every old rooms do need improvements, but it's not their priority of course
Are you referring to glitchwalking?
No it doesn’t
their priority is getting the money from clothes manufacturers and having to get rid of the og bean
Old rooms are fine if you use Old Bean 😀
def not the hackers in the game
Exactly. “We care about your money, not your feelings”
Well if you don't want them to take you money.. don't give them your money?
People who want to give them money will give them money, those who don't won't
then maybe they should focus on fixing the fucking game then the fucking clothes
And no one’s gonna give them money if the game is overrun by children and all the supportive players wanna leave
Sure, it'd be fun for every single bugs to not be there but one cannot fix everything in weekly updates, even less if one of their avatar systems break with every update so they have to fix it constantly
I'll state this again
Don't give them money if you don't want to, those who want to give money will
And I’ll state it again, if the game is overrun by children, and the supportive players leave, no one’s gonna give them money
So let it be, you clearly hate the game for removing old bean
Not just me
Congrats for taking this long to figure it out
Not even that big of a deal
No I figured it out since a while, you all just continuously complain though
I just hope they keep old bean so we don’t have to keep debating about which ones better, why it sucks or why whether the fuck it matters
They are becoming sentient 🥹
They are clearly not keeping old bean
So many people want old bean to stay, just let it stay to keep the controversy rest
It's either keep the game alive or kill it
It’s the hope to keep it
Because they don’t care about us
I wouldn't care about you either
Rude
I've been told to not have much a brain earlier
Oh no! Some random guy said he doesn’t care about me! Whatever will I do?!
Just like Truchhi 😔
Continuously open fire with aggressive sarcasm
I don’t get this argument, people always yell at them to fix the game but when they make decisions that help in doing that y’all act like it’s the end of the world
We want them to FIX THE GAME. Not FIX WHAT WAS NEVER BROKEN
No they literally aren’t dude
They ignore the huge hacker problem and instead focus on something that isn't an issue 😭
Can u summarize
I will be resending this often
Old bean was in fact broken behind the scenes
Oh boy, I wonder why they’re running out of dev time
They are making new bean more like old bean when they should just keep old bean 😭
Read the damn thing
Optimisation and they probably will mimic the exact old bean
Then tell me how it’s existed for years with no problem
seems they focused more on cv2 and that’s broken, worked on maker AI
Cv2 barely works in rooms anymore 💔
Slowly but surely, the new bean mimics the old bean
Then what's the point of removing it?
Make it easier and keep it
I don’t have to, I’m sure people have explained it to you plenty you just refuse to acknowledge it in your argument
Read the image I just sent
Then stop messing with it it's simple
No, they have given reasons that make me wanna scoop out my left eye. Let’s see if you’ll make me lose my right eye
I've never experienced any of the bugs they talk about
No but indirectly doing stuff broke it
They just need an excuse to make money
Internal development kept breaking old bean
They had to constantly fix it
So it's their fault
If you’d read the blogs they’ve continuously talked about you’d already know
It's the fault of the old bean for being broken
Working on anything breaks the old bean because it's broken
Explain how it started “breaking” just now then?
Am i the only one who thinks its weird that it randomly just started “breaking”
Like it didnt do this for like 5 years then it randomly started
Dev add features, old bean dies, they have to fix it, yadalee yadala
Not at all
It might have done it for a while now, they just never told us anything
It’s been like that I highly doubt it just randomly crapped out
then why would they push for ugc 😭
Then why wouldn’t they have tried to fix it years ago?
It's a bonus
rec room has always been very clear about their internal issues, they are the only company i know that ADDED back a bug
They did, but it kept breaking everytime features were added
You’re telling me these low quality brain rot clothing items are a bonus?
Then why wasn’t it a problem years ago?
Because evolution didn't happen
i just dont see why they wouldve hid it for 5 years, then randomly come out with full body for no reason
Never said it has been happening for 5 years
u just said its been breaking things internally and they just didnt say anything?
?
It could have been starting to break during the times they've been adding more features for avatars such as ears for example
Who knows? I doon't
That does not say 5 years does it
the ears that nobody used 😭
Swapgoat save rec room
once again ur contradicting urself
New players were most likely to use it since we were all used to how it looked before, but there are some old players that did give it a try
So u admit that it randomly started breaking
And it was fine before they started adding features nobody asked for
I don't admit anything since I don't truely know what is happening internally, but I do know it started happening at one point
Because obviously it's been happening at one point, I'm a genius
It probably started when FBA came out
I'm only taking a guess at what could have been happening
Or like I said, when they started adding new features for avatars
FBA
An old code not meant for new features can break
That's when they started adding the weird shit
Only a guess though since we don't truely know everything internally
Because, well, we're not devs
im going based off what U said
contradicting the points ur making
The features nobody asked
Because they stopped fixing it every update
If Rec Room only added stuff people asked for Rec Room wouldn't add anything
Hell, no one asked for Rec Room in the first place.
We ask for alot of stuff and it always gets ignored 😬
yes because we were supposed to ask for a virtual reality game where the players have no arms legs fingers or necks
They add and get rid of stuff no one wanted added or gone
oh wait
that doesnt apply anymore
There are multiple things rec room have done recently that i dont agree with, notice RECENTLY
Maker AI?
Yeah fuck maker ai
The way it was implemented
Goes against what rec room stands for, that being creativity
Maker AI does absolutely suck and we can all agree on that
Since the new dev team basically
It wasn't asked for, so using your logic it should've never existed.
Notice how people started being nostalgic for rec room after 2023 because thats when they started adding terrible features
theres a difference between a feature and an entire game?
No, people are naturally more nostalgic for older stuff.
are u saying every feature should be a different game entirely?
I honestly cannot really feel nostalgic about rec room
Fortnite:
no.. i havent seen this much outpour against rec room in a long time
If we use the "NO ONE ASKED FOR IT WAA WAA WAA" excuse
Oh buddy dont get me started
gets you started
I think egg is mad guys
the egg is made
Do u really think of full body ugc slop when u think of rec room
i scrambled it
ur actually kinda peak icl
We scrambled it
i just dont see why they couldnt have kept it as a feature, i know it was breaking alot, but let it break, i feel like that’d be better then just out right removing it
or make it so some games FORCE u to use it, similar to how roblox has r15 and r6
KIA is here 🗣️
It they let it break then it'd end up like Quest 1 port. Unusable.
Only trying to state my opinion on things
Ok look, I get not wanting the old bean to go but clearly no matter what it's going away
But I do wish they can make the new bean feel closer to the old bean if anything
New been avatar is looking like a skinwalker fr
Yes
If it was the code that was breaking the game I don't get why they don't transfer the old bean design over to a more stable code
I get not liking the bean bend or the avatar features (eyes mouth position and body proportions) not translating that greatly from the old bean to the new bean
its a good thing
calling u peak
its like ur cool
Because it's not completely about looks, it's mainly about how the new one moves which for a lot of communities will make things harder
ts i can agree with
But I do think new bean is somewhat of an improvement, at least to me.
There are features I've wanted on it for a while such as glove pointing or grabbing animations
To me those are unnecessary, I don't need more realistic features like the grabbing animations in a game like rec room
But hey, would be cool if the bean could perhaps not bend that much for the old bean enjoyers, if anything, a toggle for it
Can we all just take a step back and think about how this is a cartoon kids game?
We don't need realistic features 😭
Fair, the grab animations you can toggle off in the settings anyways, there's a feature to hide your hand when grabbing things
I'm noticing my detail of them making new bean like old bean may be correct
Right there
Also I've noticed a lot of builders saying they can't build with New bean
Enough is enough can we all agree they’re just removing it for a good reason I understand maybe People still cares about the old bean and I’m so tired of people doing #KeepOldBean & #KeepClassicBean can we shut up about it because it’s been like two days about this announcement and like I’m not trying to be that guy but the people who still use the old been it’s time to move on I know a lot of stuff is changing in rec room I know for a fact a lot of avatars are changing but you know life move on and we have a deal with it I’m not trying to be saying you should switch to UBA but listen I know so many people who use costumes, making cool outfits, or making on outfits for their entertainment we don’t need all this fighting over which one is better we’re all in the same community and we should appreciate what is rec room doing for us I understand so many of my friends who don’t like the new upgrading bean avatar I completely understand I know it’s hard to get used of new change we have to deal with FBA and look how it leads us to know some people still like full body and some people still don’t but we still give it a chance and I know for a fact that UBA can maybe get the same cans at the FBA I don’t want people fighting over the stupid argument about rec room is dying and all this can we all agree rec room try their best and what they can do please I’m just asking 🧡

I'm guessing from the feedback to this update that it's not a small minority of people who prefer the old bean, and rec room probably know this. So I'm still just confused at why they didn't port the old design with the same movements on to a new code so it's stable
You've copy and pasted this several times
Long ah paragraph
okay
Well I'm guessing it's to add features easier and waste less resources, instead of wasting resources on different body models with different cloth models, make a body that you can modify the proportions of with the clothes adjusting automatically
But would've been cool if it did feel accurate to the models
It honestly feels slightly off to me and I'm not sure what it is
Ngl I would be fine if I could flip with New bean
Nah I don't wanna move on
I want the same freedom of movement as we have on old bean
Wdym by flip
To me that sounds like it would be more work because wouldn't you then have to adapt all of the new clothing to work with different sized bodies rather than having set sizes with classic beans
Already I've made facial hair clip through my characters face through changing the scale
Where you tuck your head in between your legs and your body goes upside down then you go back up and it's up it looks like you flipped if you jump from up high
once again can u summarize
Which never happened with classic
Its Time to Move ON!
my ex said the same thing and she cheated on me 😹✌️
I want that and spiking my head and new bean is whatever
To be completely honest I do not care about expression as much as enthusiasts do
I'm not going to make everything seem worse, I'm not quitting this game because of this. But it is going to make what I mainly do on it a lot harder
I just wanna have a nice avatar that I like the art style of and play my favorite games with it
At this point they're gonna revamp the entire game because of the code even though they can just figure it out
Wasted dev time. Because you laid off 16%
If they had the devs actually work then yes there would be stuff
No all I seen was just some devs messing stuff up
Honestly, this whole code thing confuses me
It really does
They fired alot of staff then complain about wasted dev time 🥀
My vision is making new bean for ugc only so they can make a quick buck off of it
They're not passionate about it anymore
They keep trying these things instead of having common sense like animal company
How can game companies move games between whole engines but rec room rather than taking the easy fix of porting an avatar to a new code they make not one but two whole new avatars
Money
i think we all just need to touch some grass for awhile 
What a banger idea
Grass stabs my feet. No.
put on shoes and touch grass with hands
