  • If you encounter any technical issues during submission, please let us know ASAP so we can assist you

To help with any last-minute questions or concerns, we're creating this thread as a dedicated space for you to ask anything related to submitting your worlds for the competition.

💭 Whether you're wondering about:

  • Technical questions and troubleshooting

Critical Warning: Publishing a World as Non Discoverable and then switching to Discoverable Automatically Enables Members Only Option in the Desktop Editor

Please be aware that there is currently a bug in the Desktop Editor which can have implications when publishing your world. 

If you have published your world, with Discoverable set to off, setting Discoverable to on in the Publishing modal in the Desktop Editor will automatically switch Members-Only to on. 

Please make sure that you switch Members-Only to off before you publish your update, as judges will not be able to judge your world if it is set to Members-Only, and it must be available to play on mobile.

If you are impacted by this issue please alert us as soon as possible in the submission thread.

 

Good luck with your submissions, and we look forward to seeing your amazing creations!

Ok thanks!

Do you have special settings on or something to display the UI button icons? on DE instead of having buttons with UI, it just shows pink and green placer?

In Preview Configuration, make sure "UI safe zone overlay" is disabled.

Hi guys - i don't know if the de-dupe works to solve the members only bug that was emailed today? I had thought it was public?

 I finally had my friend playtest it but it seems that my account is the only one that can view it? It works for me on both iPhone Pro Max and WebGL.

Actually I think I've found the bug - logging into an alt account on my other iPhone... 

For other accounts, mobile does not seem enabled - pair your headset is required. 

Does this load on mobile/web for you (no members only vr headset pairing required): https://hz.me/w/634941769705453?hwsh=rUkBRJX01o

Hello, I apparently was bit by the known "Members Only" bug noted in the contest submission form.  However i was unable to make changes in time to change this.  There has been reference to a "submissions thread" for purposes of reporting this issue, but I can't seem to find that link now that the contest has ended.   Is this an appropriate place to report this or is there a link to the official reporting thread?  Thank you!  

The world referenced is "LOL COMBAT ARENA"

(Including link here:) The world affected is: 
LOL COMBAT ARENA

I have no idea why it's showing up as members only again when I have set it to public several times already. It's a bit hard to test since I have to log out and in to different accounts, and even then, it is inconsistent. These are the same worlds but some users see it as accessible and others do not.
