Friends list not updating
complete
Lorenzo Van Der Schueren
The whole social tab doesn't update for me, the only time it does is when I start it up and then it's frozen. So I have to restart my game every time I want to see who is on or if I want to join someone. Added friends in a session don't appear unless I restart again ...

As of a previous update, the friends list now updates with active changes. Let's call this solved!

100の人: You're going to have to provide more information other than "it happened again" :)
Please make a new post with:
- Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the problem
- Output logs
- Screenshots
- Video
- Any other relevant information
Treat the issue as if you're trying to show us how to make it happen. If we can cause the bug to occur, on our end, it makes it a ton easier to fix. If that isn't possible, documenting what it looks like when the bug happens might help.
FYI: Your output logs are stored in
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat
. They're text files, and they're named output_log_HH-MM-SS.txt
. The time stamp shows the time at which that log started, so make sure you give us the right one.It's a hidden folder, so you might have some problems tracking it down. Try pasting this into your File Browser address bar:
%AppData\..\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat

Welp, friend list is now intentionally worse due to load mitigation.

This now happens pretty much without fail since the last few upgrades (1067 at time of writing).
It almost feels as if the client has gone back to the old method of updating the friends list... although at the same time the server side of things is also quite badly broken, with people showing up as online when offline when not and offline when online etc.

Friends list will no longer update for me.

I've been seeing this more and more since a few weeks ago.

We've made a lot of improvements to the way the friends list works and updates over time. This should be happening a lot more often, but we're still observing it happening in rare cases. We'll keep looking for new causes of this issue and squash them as we find them!

This appears to happen for me when i am for no reason forced to provide login details for VRC when i start playing, the social list does not even query the server for the online friend list unless i restart with no login provision required on the second start..

Favorites list is not synced with current friends list... almost like they're using two different data sources.
Seeing favorites that haven't been friends in 6+ months.

after last update it started for me too, it never updates anymore

Im not even getting friend requests from people sitting in front of me, or invites. Maybe the notification system for quest users is being affected by the social tab not being updated and calling for this type of information correctly.
