NOTE: Servers need to have the same revision number as client (e.g. v7.0), but can be on a different sub-revision (e.g. Client can be v7.0a and Server on v7.0d).

*Setting up Amazon Web Services server
This marks a major upgrade under the hood: new version of Unity and physics engine. This helps speed up graphics and the physics engine but previous games/robots may experience slight change in behavior. Please report any required fixes/tunings on the discord channel.
- Power Play added –
- 2 Robots:
- PP_VSlide is a simple vertical slide bot that can easily maneuver
- PP RoboRaiders 7129 is a passthrough design that promises on quicker cycles close to home, but has a harder time maneuvering
- The cones present a tough physics engine problem. In the Power-Play game menu there is an option to increase physics accuracy to reduce any cone issues, but this may slow down your frame rate once most of the cones are in play
- 2 Robots:
- Spin-Up options-menu fixed to allow disabling of push-back wall
- Ability to lower player count for tournament mode added
- Linux Server – added console commands
Version b:
- Trying to fix headless mode / standalone server mode: still some issues
Version c:
- Power Play –
- Cone physics changed to speed up physics engine (5X improvement).
- Server code sped up to help with slow physics
- Some tweaks to PP RoboRaiders bot
- Client updates for non-critical functions slowed down to prevent flooding server if server experiences severe lag
- Note about AWS servers: Power Play physics are very demanding and appear to overwhelm linux AWS servers easily. Recommend using c5 or c6i server or better (c6i preferred). Windows server seems to have less issue (better drivers giving physics acceleration???)
Version d:
- Power Play –
- Fixed circuit algorithm from counting junctions to both teams if previously owned by both alliances
- VR Fixed –
- Only available in Windows
- To turn on VR, open “Video” settings and press “Start” VR button
- Mac M1 architecture fix
- removed M1 native code to fix graphics issue. Should now run under “Rosetta” avoiding issue
- Premium skin license GUI fix
- Server GUI startup fix
