# vivid dawn Like why did u need to remove this, you should bring it back👺👺

this is what one of the devs said

The reason we are removing it is three fold
• The old bean is worse for performance, and not just for you, everyone in the room.
Giving the option to make others games run worse is a nono
• Old bean does not work with our current avatar systems
• Upkeeping both is a lot of work, there are a lot of bugs that come up that break rooms and circuits. And when we already want people on new bean already for the last 2 reasons, it's not worth it to put so much time into fixing these issues.
We are not removing it just to remove it.

You gotta think everything in the game is making with models and a lot of coding

#

The classic bean may look better appearance wise, but the physics of it was very bug-inducing and limited

#

I have heard from a bird that they are working to bring the classic bean look back, just with the same physics as the new bean

#

Something about “Personas” which will allow you to change the animation style of your avatar, and classic bean’s animation will be one of those options

#

Not sure how true that is, but it’s likely

#

So basically, no it wasn’t the worst update. From a developer standpoint, it may have been one of the biggest steps for rec room. New bean allows for UGC and has way smoother physics which could decrease the amount of debugging needed in the future

#

The main issue is that an update this big was bound to cause a lot of other parts to break. So the servers will be very laggy and buggy for a while most likely, can’t really blame the devs much for that. Bugs are something you can’t really avoid when it comes to coding a game, especially one with millions of users

new bean is easier and better for future

#

better for the “future”?

#

like why adding the new bean is “better” for the “future” (js sayin)

#

cause coding

#

classic bean was simple and limited

#

new bean has a lot more variety

#

simplest way I can put it
