Open Beta

For some avatars, after the download completes, the loading process remains stuck in the "UnPacking" state, and the avatars become error avatars. This issue seems to occur regardless of Safety settings or Avatar Display settings, as the avatars cannot be displayed. Even after changing settings and reloading the avatars, the problem persists. This issue was observed not with my own avatar but with the avatars of several friends.

it appears that the uncompressed size stat is failing to load which (seemingly randomly) causes avatars to be set to there fallback or imposter even if there uncompressed size would fall within the set limit.

One of my current gripes with prints is the inability to easily hide or remove them. ( https://feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/1546-remote-remove-printed-pictures ) A solution I thought about is to give prints a selectable capsule, like stickers, portals, and users. This may also be a solution to the "obstructed buttons while running" issue posted earlier.

Open VRChat Take a print from the camera Input text (Screenshot 1) (doesn't actually make a difference) Other user saves print in gallery (Screenshot 2 Owner removes print from world (Screenshot 3) Owner deletes picture from gallery (Screenshot 4) Other user tries printing the deleted picture and their client won't let them print any other pictures (the print button is blacked out) regardless of ownership. The user can't also delete their copy but can delete other pictures. This can only be fixed by restarting the client. Error logs can be found in the screenshots. (Screenshot 5)

I tried to switch accounts while on this beta. It doesn't completely close the instance, and you can even still walk around the world. The video clip shows me walking into a portal and changing worlds after I click the "Switch accounts" button.

Today, I observed a specific user whose avatar was stuck in the loading avatar for a long time, then became an error avatar. Attempting a hide/show avatar just resulted in the same - long loading avatar, then changed to an error avatar. Some other users in the instance reported they had the same problem on open beta, and were able to see the user in question after reverting to live. I've attached the output log below; the user in question was おちゃ around 7am local time. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/aethxhwjjr67wewlyejmd/output_log_2024-11-29_06-33-18.zip?rlkey=mlwpkxwpj14ea7uw81ecbnyp8&st=hmcnhlrl&dl=0 They did change to another avatar at one point, which I was able to see, but when they switched back it failed to load again.

I added " asset-polygon-loading.power-of-tech.com " to the Video Player Allowed Domains in my public world settings, then clicked the "Save Changes" button to save it. I started an OpenBeta client and joined the world with the public instance. Of course, the client's "Allow Untrusted Urls" setting is ON. The video player encountered the error "Not allowed untrusted url." The world is " https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_ce1aa5f3-dd24-4190-a3d2-4a0b87382673 " The video is " https://asset-polygon-loading.power-of-tech.com/video/Canny-demo.mp4 "

This is a Local only issue. Other people in the world saw the trails behaving as intended. In the Great Pug and In A Rubber Room? My trails (one or more) will attempt to stretch back and forth between my avatar root and the trail root. This persisted between restarts of VRChat and was isolated to random worlds. Most worlds did not have this issue. Clip of the issue. https://i.imgur.com/HuJyOJw.mp4

While streaming the camera via Spout, it appears the resolution specified in the config file is not respected. In fact, it seems to for some reason be streaming much lower than 1080p (By just guessing it looks to be about 720p). Attached video is me toggling between Spout and the game window. Game is being rendered at 1440p (downscaled to 1080p by OBS), and the Spout stream is being rendered at a much lower resolution regardless of my config settings. Edit: Had a chance to check and confirm this also happens in VR mode. The game window will render the camera at the right resolution, but Spout is locked to a low resolution.

The ParticleSystemForceField component new to Unity 2018, combined with "external forces" module can open up a whole new breadth of avatar/world interactions not seen since Ik controlled GPU Particles. Mimi made an example showing what this component can do: https://i.imgur.com/yglb74H.gifv For the module to be useful, it must be allowed on avatars so that (combined with IKFollower) leg and arm positions can emit forces. Doing so can enable new types of 30dof interactions not seen before between avatars or between avatars and particle systems in worlds. Worlds that wish to block avatar particle interactions must only uncheck avatar layers including Player, MirrorReflection etc. For this reason it should be safe to allow avatars to carry this component without impeding world creation. https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/Manual/class-ParticleSystemForceField.html
