• Scam Bucks are live! - 3 September 2025

  v4.1.0 is LIVE - introducing Giant Scam's proprietary in-game currency SCAM BUCKS ™ now available for purchase in 100, 500, 1000, and 2500 packs. We've also added 6 never released and never awarded cosmetics and cosmetic colorways as the first set of items available for purchase in the store. The rest of the Lobby UI has had a refresh as well. Take a look around. Check out the leveling progress and unlockable tracker in the Profile tab along with a new mirror to check out your equipped gear. We've also added joystick vaulting to the game. On most controllers, pressing the secondary face button (for example Y or B on Quest controllers) while running into the side of a snake beam will trigger an automatic vault to the other side. Note that you have to be above crouching height to trigger this and there is a cooldown before you can trigger it again. A lot of changes in this one. If somethi…

• v3.5.5 - Voice chat experiment - 21 February 2024

  We've had so many issues with our voice chat provider that we're trying a new one. Let us know if it's working better for you!

• v3.4.0 is live with revamped hit detection, reduced latency, and more! - 13 September 2023

  CHANGELOG - v3.4.0 - Hit detection has been revamped for Dedicated Servers running in Authoritative mode. When playing in a server in this mode, hits are validated by the server instead of by peers. Player-hosted servers and Dedicated Servers running in Witness mode will continue to run the "democratic" hit detection system. - Dedicated Servers can opt in to running Authoritative mode by adding this command line argument when you launch your server: --hitdetectionmode "authoritative". - In the server browser, you'll now see the current map name and server type. Player-hosted, Dedicated (W) for Witness mode, and Dedicated (A) for Authoritative mode. - Bandwidth reduced on all networked player objects (head, hands, play area, etc...) by 40%, resulting in lower latency when viewing another player's avatar. - When playing in servers running in Authoritative mode, you'll also see projectiles…

• Update 3.1.0 - 30 March 2023

  v3.1.0 is now LIVE after 3 months of development and weeks of closed beta testing. This is a very big update. Our game engine has been updated multiple versions. We've swapped out or updated many of our foundational systems such as voice chat, IK, and VR interaction. There will be bugs - please help us solve them by sending detailed feedback on how to reproduce the bugs to the discord #feedback channel. Thanks for your patience. As a reward, all players that hit Level 20 will receive the first ever Jersey cosmetic, which changes color based on team. ❤️ Shout out to everyone in the Closed Beta that helped us solve nearly 50 bugs in the past few weeks. We appreciate you! See the bug list here. We'll be moving remaining open bugs to Canny.

• v2.8.2 - Jolly Mode is here! - 7 December 2022

  CHANGELOG - v2.8.2 - Jolly Mode has come to the Snapshot Arena! Toggle it on or off the same way you would for Spooky Mode. - Tips and Tricks UI has been added to the Lobby and to the wall of each team pit. This has basic information on how the game works. Let us know what we should add for new players. - Short and Tall Cake bunker dimensions have been adjusted - Head and Hand networked position accuracy has been increased across all platforms - New SFX added for when a projectile collides with a bunker. We're looking for feedback on how this sound should be tweaked. - Discord bot in #live-match-updates now shows Time Remaining for the match - Legacy map files that were included with the build have been removed. We'll upload them to a public drive in case anyone wants to reupload them as cloud maps.

• v2.8.0 - Airball 1:1 scale bunkers and Xball mode! - 6 November 2022

  CHANGELOG - v2.8.0 - The new Airball bunker kit with 1:1 scale inflatable bunkers is live with the updated NXL World Cup 2022 layout. Find it in the New tab as `2dp_Air_NXL_World_Cup_2022`. You may now submit new layouts, or copies of existing layouts, with `_Air_` inserted into the file name to enable the new tileset when the layout is loaded (you may need to tweak bunker positions, as the bunker sizes are not identical between tilesets). - Xball mode (beta) is now selectable in the Game Mode dropdown. Xball mode is a 7 minute timed match that requires that the buzzer or concede button be hit to end the current round. The concede button is enabled by default when Xball mode is selected. Bots have been adjusted to be able to hit the buzzer. - Player hand and head positions have been updated to be more accurate when synced across the network. - Player min head/body height has been lowere…

• v2.7.4 - 9 September 2022

  CHANGELOG - v2.7.4 - Team change restriction updated. Instead of only being able to switch teams while match is paused or in between matches, now it limits you from switching teams too close to the end of a countdown that would spawn you on to the field. - Fix for voice channels. Still supporting all three voice modes, but reverted to the previous model of joining/disconnecting from channels during different game states. - Fix for spectators being kicked for being idle. - VRML S3 tab with season maps added to pedestal

• v2.7.3 is live. New unlockable masks. So many quality of life updates. - 4 August 2022

  CHANGELOG - v2.7.3 New Unlockables - New mask variants can be unlocked at Level 30 (Gray GS Pro Specs) and Level 50 (Red and White GS Pro Specs). If you've already hit this level, the next time you finish playing a match your new cosmetic will be assigned to you. - VRML Season 2 winners have been assigned Gold/Silver/Bronze variants of the GS Pro Specs mask. Settings / Pedestal Changes - Competitive Mode has been removed. It was only controlling voice settings, and now Voice Mode can be set individually. - Voice Mode has been added as a room setting to the pedestal. Choose between Competitive (separated by team and alive/dead), Casual (separated by team), and Global (all talk). - New toggle added to pedestal to enable/disable automatic sliding for your player. Quality of Life Improvements - Default joystick tracking set to Head - Concede Button has been moved to left corner of pit. Spaw…

• v2.7.1 - Fixes to cloud-hosted maps - 31 March 2022

  CHANGELOG - v2.7.1 - Fixed match stat upload. XP will be doubled for the next week to make up for the lost stats. Sorry y'all. - Fixed selection noise when selecting a new map - Fixed minimap disappearing. Let us know if you find that this is still happening. We fixed the test case we were able to identify. - Still possible for kill lines not to show. If this happens, just hit Next/Prev Round on the minimap and it'll redraw. - Fixed map name not being correct after change.

• v2.7.0 - 25 March 2022

  CHANGELOG - v2.7.0 - We now load the map categories and map list from the cloud -- This means we can now add layouts to the game and new groups of layouts to the UI without releasing a new build -- This is a deep infrastructure change - keep an eye out for bugs! -- Your local map files will still appear in the Local Files tab. Everything else will be loaded from the cloud. -- VRML map tab updated to only show Season 2 maps -- 9 new maps added to the New tab - Fixed Quest loading spinner for map list - Map sides change colors after the cooldown now instead of immediately after the round ends

• v2.6.11 - NXL Sunshine State layout is live! - 24 February 2022

• v2.6.10 - 22 February 2022

  CHANGELOG v2.6.10 - Dedicated Servers no longer take up a player slot - Fixed controller/hand orientation on Quest - this means that Quest standalone players will need to recalibrate at the Calibration Station the next time you play - New restrictions on pedestal to prevent hosts from changing critical settings while a game is live - New error messages when you can't connect to a room because it's full or the password is wrong - Replaced validation call in the Lobby that some players were getting stuck on - New banners from HK Army and Project PB in the arena - VRML Season 2 maps added to the VRML tab - Removed "wall of bricks" from VPO maps

• v2.6.9 aka "The Big Beefy" - 10 February 2022

  CHANGELOG - v2.6.9 aka "The Big Beefy" - Lobbies are now limited to a max of 10 players. - Inactive players will now be kicked after 5 minutes of inactivity. This is our first game setting that we're trying out Remote Configuration - so if you find this is buggy or needs to be tweaked we can make adjustments without requiring a new release. - Barrel Box is now active in all modes, and is no longer unique to Competitive Mode. - Window Shield now has its own toggle in the Admin menu, and is no longer unique to Competitive Mode. - Those changes mean that, currently, Competitive Mode only separates voice channels between alive/dead and doesn't automatically toggle any other match setting. - Concede Button toggle added to Admin menu. This allows the admin to enable or disable team-specific Concede Point buttons in each pit. Try them out. If the feature is buggy, Admins have the ability to ke…

• CHANGELOG - v2.6.8 - 17 January 2022

  - You now run 50% faster for 2.5 seconds off the break each point. This Break Boost is meant to give players a chance to get wider off the break. - Timed Mode now has a mercy rule of 6 points - Avatar icon cache adjusted to hopefully avoid the memory leak that was causing the crashes when more than 10 players were in a room - Issue of avatars displaying incorrectly or being overlapped with the default blue/pink guy icon fixed - Fab's new map PSP World Cup 2007 has been released - Hormesis banner added to the banner rotation in the arena

This is the first iteration towards a fully featured Xball mode. - "Play as Guest" button now available to play under a guest account without registering on snapshotvr.com.
