Reconnecting Loop Based on Ping
complete
Jon~
Explanation:
The current build (2018.4.3p1) changed the client reconnection behavior.
Problem:
There is one problem though, it's
based on ping as far as I can tell. I attempted to use 2 connections to test this, one that is extremely unstable and goes above 1000 when a download is put on it in vrc, and one that is stable and usually stays between 600-800. (the stable one gets 1-2mbps, the unstable one gets 100-200kbps) The unstable one can join other worlds with only 1 reconnect since its ping is 100-200. The stable one with a ping of 600-800 cannot, it just gets black screened and put in an infinite reconnecting loop. The world the stable one spawns in is the only instance it can be in, upon leaving it gets a reconnecting loop. I have had multiple people confirm this with multiple people above the range test if they could change instances.
Quick Side Note: Ping is NOT a good way to check connection stability. It is latency. Someone having a ping of 600-800 with a stable connection to the server just makes them half a second to a second behind everyone else.
Solution:
The only solutions I can think of are an option for this to be disabled for those who naturally have a high ping (I've also heard some with a 200-300 ping having issues with the reconnecting, but this is uncertain) from a file in the vrc cache folder where the particle limiter can be tweaked or it to be removed after the server issues are resolved.
The only reason I'm making this post in the first place is because I just want to play VRC normally without having to grab the world+instance ID and relaunch the game to launch into it. Multiple people have had to do this in order to even stay in 1 instance and can't leave it without relaunching the entire game to switch instances.

This issue was fixed in 2019.1.1.

This problem has been going on for a month now and still hasn't been fixed. This is a major inconvenience to everyone wanting to play with friends and it is making people quit playing VRChat all together. New players will keep on giving this game hate UNLESS you fix it. Stop adding stuff that nobody wants and doesn't care about (The avatar menu that displays all the polys and dynamic bones on your model for example). Nobody cares about these things and they are completely useless. Some streamers are suffering from this issue and it gives your game such a bad name, due to new players wanting to see what the game is like and they just see loading loops left, right and center. Fix your game if you want people to continue playing it. Please and thank you.

I like that they optomize the game for people with potato PCs but if you have potato internet you are out of luck. Makes no sense and this "feature" should never have made to a public release.

i haven't been able to leave my home world in over a week, on the off chance that i can actually even load into my home world
edit: after no longer being able to play at all for the last few weeks, i've quit vrc. hopefully a better dev team who actually know how to make a game will come along and replace VRC soon.
GearBell
I have no control over my internet,so to be filtered out of vrchst because i have crappy internet is unfair. I agree this needs to be changed. Yes Im sure they'll have a fix for this but philosophy wise lots of people have bad internet that cant be fixed yet they contribute alot to the game. Lots of contributers are gonna disappear if this filter idea happens. I agree that this needs a fix!

GearBell: definitely second this. I have excellent internet but every now and then my ping will shoot from mid 30s to ~300 for about 20 seconds. This usually sends me a bit of lag, and then reloads me into either a different instance, or Login loop. This filter really sucks as it can happen while friends and I are world jumping or mid conversation. It makes VRChat a difficult place to hang out when we could just Discord call and if everyone Discord calls to hang out, nobody is on VRChat

Jordan Neighbors: im mostly mad cause of how much ive contributed to the game and i suddenly am shoved out cause im too poor to afford good internet.

GearBell: I fully agree. I only have excellent internet because I have so few bills to deal with and even with my occasional lag, I'm affected. As a creator of your magnitude, I can only imagine your frustration. I've seen so many people use avatars from your worlds all over VRChat so your contributions are at least somewhat significant to many users. You'd think they would focus on perhaps a warning system for ping levels rather than just auto booting people. Some people's work is much more important than others, ie yours to mine :P. I mainly get on to hang out with friends and see what new avatars are to offer. You're likely constantly updating and testing multiple worlds and Avatar ideas. Certainly not acceptable for this filter to throw out the lesser internet connections

GearBell: I agree 1000000% I have bad internet too , And I cant even get anything better then what I have but having this happens is horrible I can barely play
No Google
GearBell: ping is more often then not a matter of physical distance to VRC then your speed. So even if you had the money it would probably not solve this issue.
Waai!
I have a stable 250 ping and I am experiencing this issue consistently. VRChat is currently unplayable for me and will most likely stay this way over the holidays.
Please, never do this again, developers.

Please try again in VRChat 2018.4.4, the issue should be resolved now.

Aev: Tried VRChat 2018.4.4 but now I'm getting the login loop. Tries to log me in, goes to spinning VrChat logo then back to trying to log me in again.

Aev: Tupper - "Shut down VRChat. Press your Windows key and type "cmd" into your Windows Search bar. Right click "Command Prompt" and click "Run as Administrator". A black command prompt window should pop up. Copy this command with Ctrl-C, and paste it into the window by right-clicking in the window.
REG DELETE HKCU\Software\VRChat\vrchat /va
Press Y when asked to confirm, and then press Enter. After you're done, close the window and try VRChat again."
Doing that will get you into the tutorial world but you still can't join friends or other worlds...
If you do the REG DELETE then join friends from the VrChat website (BEFORE opening VrChat) you will be able to join friends and/or other worlds. It will bring you to the login page. After logging in you will get the Login Loop a couple of times but it should eventually bring up the world loading screen.
Keep in mind you will have to do all those steps every time you want to change worlds.
GearBell
Aev: still no luck. Just a progress report. Still stuck at loading loop. Confirmed its vrchat server, not computer.
