This is awesome to see! I really like the UX of the sliding scale here in particular, and I’m also fond of the changes to reframe the character since I’ve run into this one a lot myself. It basically killed my 3P usage before, maybe now I’ve got to try again…
I’m happy to see continued work in this area to get more people to the right level of comfort to enjoy VR stuff more optimally
Still wish we had good default first person VR without devs having to implement it themselves but this looks like a good improvement to the third person VR.

This right here. I don’t mean to get off topic, but this is why we need regular Roblox advanced graphics settings. Roblox is doing it everywhere else but the graphics slider. Notice how Roblox cares more for the very few players who can afford VR, and their motion sickness, than the average playerbase on a year two thousand who-knows-what mobile device trying to get a stable framerate inside a ~50x~50 viewable area.

Also, I totally love this update as a whole, even though I don’t have a VR xD
These changes were desperately needed. One thing that always annoyed me about Roblox VR was that my camera settings were never serialised upon joining a new server. Has this finally been fixed? I always hated having to disable the vignette and enable smooth turning every time I joined a Roblox game in VR. Other than that, these settings look a lot more usable and will make the joining process quite a bit faster.
Your own VR settings will carry over to every game that is using the default playerscripts OR the latest VR scripts merged in to custom playerscripts. If the game has older custom scripts, this won’t work (which is why we encourage all devs with custom scripts to merge the latest!).
Slowly and surely, Roblox is becoming a great source of VR games! Now if only Roblox made their own immersive VR client. That would streamline the creation of VR titles and allow developers to build off one central and uniform client that allows the player to experience the game from their character!
You mostly saved my life by figuring out how I could find a solution, but this update definitely saved my time and allowed me to take a breather. This primarily makes VR players feel at ease and improves their experience with the game.
