Yanvar
A downloadable game for Android
Yanvar aims to port and replicate the January 2017 period of Rec Room for Quest headsets, with as little compromises as possible to keep things authentic.
Featuring the classic and iconic baked lighting of older Rec Room versions, better physics interactions, a smaller and simpler collection of Rec Room Originals plus 3 unreleased Rec Room Originals, teleport-locomotion only, custom Yanvar-exclusive additions, and most importantly, wiggly bodies.
Although it's recommended to play on a Quest 3 or 3S for the most stable and authentic experience, Quest 2 and Quest Pro players are able to play with some compromises, and may experience quicker battery drain. Quest 1 players are able to play but tend to experience poor performance.

2018 builds are obfuscated so the code is harder to understand

FINALLY MY REC ROOM WONT LAG
THANK YOU for this quest players can never play old Rec room without this! Also, can you please make more versions like 2018 and 2021 and if you do 2018 can it be the build with the November 8 beta Crescendo.
I have also made some YouTube vids on Yanvar (2) year4098RR - YouTube
I heard that 2018 builds are obfuscated so it might be harder for them to do it
Is this a virus?
bro its not a virvus its fun
"Update? What's that?"
- Yanvar
is it safe to get cuz its giving me warnings
e
This game has 0 viruses
It is safe :)
Im Stuck on loading screen for half an hour now
Exacrly, same! I wanted to experience this.
Try redownloading it or check for updates
Thank you for this.
Can you pls add other builds like 2018 🙏
they can add different rooms but builds are hard to add
How do i download with mobile vr station
Just wanted to ask if u guys at yanvar devs have a discord bc I to dumb to find it myself apparently
https://discord.gg/yayDtAsjHe
Please make this accessable on SteamVR so i can play with Quest friends
-Eggy, On HTC Vive Cosmos Elite
SteamVR version is for developers only
ita not loading in im stuck on the rec room screen help
go to website get the newest apk and install that apk
How to go to website
dude your on the website
lmao 😭
How you update
go to website get the newest apk and install that apk
I just lost all my shit after the 'accuracy,optimization,and fixes' update im actually so annoyed rn
Did you delete the old apk?
i just created an account just to tell you
DONT DELETE THE APK
I know mmmmmmmmmmmmm
no server rel
Will there ever be screen mode for mobile players? (Since it's an APK)
this is a january2017 version screen mode got added in early 2018 i think
Oh I'm guessing that's a newer version cuz that poster isn't in the game rn (team charades poster)
that isn't yanvar Newtgtrrbl that was just a example of what screenmode he is talking about
I know, I meant 'a newer version of rec room what yanvar is based off of'
i hope they don't add screen mode support that will ruin the game....
Exactly
NO BART SIMPSON SHIRT 😡😡
Add golden trophy please and 2016 shirt or 2018 version on the game
Golden trophy is in the game. Go to watch , go to the menu where you select a game , press the Rec room face then select the icon that looks like a hammer (note) RN the golden trophy is a beta version and the goblins look goofy.
tbh the game is way more laggy then before
How do i update it keeps saying update your yanvar.
take the new apk that was updated from this website redownload it and reinstall it the game doesn't
bart simpson shirt
please
please
