If you are running into problems with matchmaking placing you into a server that is not the best performance for gameplay in your location, you can temporarily select the region(s) you prefer. Click on the globe icon on the Main Menu to access this feature.

Custom Modes

General

  • Added arrows to indicate reload motion directions. This can be disabled in the Weapons Settings menu.

  • Several performance and stability improvements.
  • Fixed a variety of environment and collision issues.
  • Fixed a PC desktop window scaling issue and should not be stretched anymore.
  • New look to the shield shaker and shield soda.

Support

For support visit http://support.bigboxvr.com to get access to self-help resources or file a ticket.

New Known Issues

  • The reticle will sometimes stay yellow after reloading. Switching guns should fix this.
  • A brief loss of audio is sometimes encountered when joining a voice chat channel on Quest 1 & 2 without headphones. This is due to enabling echo and noise cancellation features.
  • Players occasionally turn invisible for a short period of time.
  • Gun reloads can become jammed and prevent the player from being able to reload.
  • Steam VR users playing on an Oculus headset: When Purchasing Bureau Gold, you will need to take off your headset to approve the purchase.

If you see a notice that you need to "update to play" but don't see it in the store, uninstall and reinstall POP: ONE to force the upgrade to happen. You won't lose any progress or data.

~ see you in game!
