Attention Espire Agents! We’re proud to announce the release of our latest Espire 2 “Boundaryless” update!
This update is a small one but aims to address the **#1 issue** players are experiencing during Mixed Reality play - the guardian boundary. This update removes the guardian boundary during Mixed Reality gameplay, and will restore the guardian boundary when you play our Virtual Reality content (Campaign, Co-op missions, Espire Ops, Weekly Challenge).
We know this update has been a long time coming. Espire 2 is a ‘contextual boundaryless app;’ it's a game which includes both VR and MR game modes. During VR gameplay (Single Player Campaign, Multiplayer Campaign, Espire Ops, Weekly Challenges) the guardian boundary is required, but during Mixed Reality gameplay, the guardian boundary actually blocks players from being able to reach the extents of their rooms! This is an issue for all contextual boundaryless apps with both VR and MR modes and while workarounds do exist to disable the guardian boundary, they are cumbersome and complex.
Thanks to the team at Meta, we have the ability to now support the “contextual boundaryless” feature in Espire 2 and the game will disable the Guardian boundary when in MR and re-enable it in VR.
Current issues under investigation
We are aware of the following issues with Espire 2 that we are actively working on fixes for:
- When playing the MR experience, if the player presses the "Abort Mission" button, the player may be asked to return to their guardian boundary.
- After playing MR mode, if the player then plays a VR game mode, there may be performance issues in some VR levels. A workaround is to close the Espire 2 game and launch it again, playing the desired VR mode.
We will hotfix the game to address these issues as soon as the fixes have been tested.
Thanks for your support!
We hope you enjoy the latest Espire 2 "Boundaryless" update! We invite you to join our discord at https://discord.gg/EspireVR where you can find Espire co-op buddies , weekly challenge competitors and share your thoughts and feedback directly with the developers.
Cheers!
