[860] Client Hang on Exit
Kung
When closing the client (tested closing from in-game menu) VRChat seems to go through the motions of a proper shutdown (avatars despawn for a few frames and then I'm kicked back to SteamVR) but the app remains unresponsive on the desktop. It requires a manual task kill to fully exit.
Probably a known issue but just adding it here for issue tracking.

I haven't used VRC for ages, though I've had problems with other games hanging or Steam not recognizing their closure. I've found that stopping Steam's background processes stops this in those circumstances, allowing the game to be launched again. I'm not sure if the same procedure works in the event the problem is caused by EAC though.

Still happens really rarely, usually due to hanging on to some file handle somewhere. We've fixed most causes of this, but not all.
Moving back to Open, as this isn't really

being worked on, but instead it is a symptom of several individual problems that are being worked on as we find them.kawashirov

This issue has resurfaced for several days now. Tried to force-quit only to report back "empty process". Can't restart until it finally quits 3 to 4 minutes later. Tried validating and the problem still exists. It does not matter whether in VR or on desktop. Log did not report any abnormal activity on exit.
UPDATE: last time this occurred probably a legacy asset using one core (of a multi-core processor) and it suddenly steals a lot of resources until it's finally able to receive the quit message to stop. Tested some worlds and it happens to be one or possibly more than one asset doing this. Not sure which one, haven't dug any further. No idea why unless it got blocked from accessing? IDK.

Looks like it's still happening, will adjust the internal task, thanks for the feedback !

It still happens to me from time to time. To be honest I guarantee I could make it happen again today so I can show you it still happens.

I personally haven't experienced hang in a while, wondering if anyone else has, if not i'll complete the task.

Ruuubick - Designer: still the game takes alot of time to close after clicking exit. Alt+F4 helps luckily.

Ruuubick - Designer: almost every single time I close the game from desktop it hangs, having to close it from task manager. Haven’t been in vr much lately but last time I played i dont think it did

✪Chrono✪: There seem to be many factors in play. So some see it more than others.

We've found the cause of this issue and plan on addressing it in the next few Open Beta builds.

Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: It's been an issue since 2017, is this finally the solution to the issue?
Tupper - VRChat Head of Community
owlboy: Potentially. Hanging on exit got worse in 2018, and we tracked this as a cause. It might solve the issue entirely. We'll wait and see.

Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: When you say 2018, do you mean 2018 or 2018? I mean 2017 not 2017.

For me it feels like more deep hang, that in 2017-version. In 2107 it's "crashing" by self after some delay on exit, or if it hangs, I was able to click the cross on window and it was closing anyways. In 2018 it hangs ALWAYS on exit, sometimes it hangs in some strange way, so "this program does not respond" dialog from windows system does not always triggered and it's hard to close the app manually. only taskmanager helps. It's rly annoying from VR, also because privileged processes as taskmanager can't be controlled from Steam dash.
