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!

I found the same thing. Even enabling the microphone in the screen recorder, the in-game audio wouldn't come through. I experimented with using an analog audio out from the phone, into my PC's mic input (well, though a MOTU interface), and recording the audio in parallel on my PC. 😅

I had that problem right before the feedback festival. Couldn't get my world out of members only. I ended-up cloning it, scrapping the old one, and publishing the public clone instead.

Hi, 

Where can I see if my world is set to "Members-Only" ?

I'm using the desktop editor and I can't see that option.

i think yours looks fine,

 

i believe as long as it is seat to Public it should be okay, even if it is also beta world? @PablosCorner

a little strange your UI looks different 🤔

Thanks for flagging this issue, we'll be sure to make note of this. Since we should be able to test on at least one device, this shouldn't be an issue. 🙂 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Since we can test on multiple devices, this shouldn't impact the status of your submission. 🙂

Maybe I don't have that option, since I'm a new creator or not in the US. I think the submission is fine then 🫰

My world is not visible to public, but also not member's only--but those options are both grayed out. I can't change them. Even though it's not visible, it's not member's only--but most people I give the link to just get a blank screen when trying to run it on mobile.

@flarb

you have to make it public for others to see it
duplicate your project, and start with public before publishing
