Hey everyone, hope you are all doing ok in these crazy times! We have another great update for you guys today that adds a brand new tool called Attach which lets you stick objects together. We also have a much needed performance optimization on the server browser due to all the new players joining us! Welcome everyone new hope you all our enjoying the game! We have a ton more below in the full patch notes.

##### **Attach Tool**

- The new tool is used for combining objects into a single object.

- This attach is in a parent child relationship where one object is the owner of the other.

- Want to add modular pieces to your figures? This is the perfect tool.

- You might be thinking this sounds like the old joint tool but this lets you merge objects and even put them in and out of bags.

- This is also much more performant compared to the old joint tool because it's just one object with multiple visuals combined.

##### **Combine Tools**

- Includes the Attach, Fixed Joint (old joint tool), Hinge Joint, and Springs Joint tools.

- Exposes the Hinge Joint and Spring Joint tools without being hidden in a menu.

- Hinge joints are just like a door, but they can even have motors!

- Springs joints are just like sound objects are connect with a spring.

- All joint properties can be configured in the right click contextual menu -> Joints.

##### **Server Browser**

- Improved Server Browser performance.

- Server Browser window is now resizable.

- Server Browser search text is now persistent.

- Server Browser search now looks in country codes if you use square brackets, i.e. ****

- Fixed some search bugs in Server Browser (also, see below).

##### **Search**

Search inputs are now more powerful (applies to Server Browser and in-game Search dialog).

- Ignores case and inflections: **A** and **รƒยก** will both be found by **a**.

- Will filter to entries which match all space-separated words in search.

- Use comma to add another set of words.

- Start a word with **-** to negate it, removing any entries which it matches.

- Negation only applies to the set of words it is grouped with.

- A set of words which are all negated will apply to every set of words.

Example: **gloom -fantasy, scythe, -casual** will find any servers with "gloom" (but not "fantasy") or "scythe", so long as they do not contain "casual".

##### **Spectator View**

- Fixed alt-zoomed objects not displaying on spectator view.

- Fixed objects in hidden zones showing when view restricted.

- Spectator Zoom may appear at cursor or at a fixed position.

- Spectator Zoom may be restricted.

- See **System Console** section for details.

##### **VR**

- Changed **Wall Mode** to **Tilt Mode**, and added **Tilt Angle** setting.

##### **General**

- Special thanks to modzero for helping us track down a security vulnerability that we hotfixed.

- Added **Drag Selectable** toggle to components: when disabled the object will not be included in a drag selection (unless **SHIFT** held).

- Alt-zoomed books (i.e. PDFs) may now be page-turned with the mouse wheel.

- Split **Zoom Toggle** key binding into **Zoom Toggle** and **Pan** actions.

- Alt-Zoom may now be fixed in place on the screen instead of following pointer (see **System Console** section below)

- Made collapsed context menus more obvious.

- Added entry in Misc settings to set size of collapsed menus.

- Objects which can go in hand will be drawable by hitting **1** on them, like cards etc.  Can be disabled in Misc settings.

- Fixed context menus being stuck.

- Fixed turn indicator not displaying.

- Fixed scaling on custom figurine colliders.

- Fixed BBCode showing up in steam/discord rich presence.

- Fixed some UI theming issues.

##### **Lua**

##### UI

- Fixed a bunch of bad interactions between 2D XML UI, 3D XML UI, the normal UI, and invisible objects.  Everything should now behave as you would expect.

##### Object values

Allows objects to behave similarl
