Bug Reports

Since a recent update, Shadow users can no longer launch VRChat. It feels like we’ve been banned.

I am reporting that the issue described in the previous Canny post steam-audio-open-beta#1662 has not been sufficiently resolved. ( https://feedback.vrchat.com/steam-audio-open-beta/p/1662-steam-audio-beta-audio-sources-close-to-head-not-panned-hard-enough ) Specifically, the panning and spatialization of audio sources located in very close proximity to the head remain too weak. The separation between the left and right channels is not distinct enough when the source is near the ear. This lack of accurate spatialization critically impacts immersion, particularly for ASMR content or intimate social interactions where close-range audio positioning is essential. Below is a comparison demonstrating that the issue persists in the current build compared to earlier versions.

I thought i was going insane for the longest time but after checking thinking that my centering was off but I realized it wasn't my fault in the end. The grid itself is off. (Attached file for middle section compared to top and bottom) (Middle row is shorter than top row by 3 pixels) (Middle row is same size with bottom row) (Right column is wider than Left column by 5 pixels) (Left column is wider than Middle column by 1 pixel) Also the overlay is clipping into the dark outer border of the camera by about one pixel.

When using VRChat's native hand tracking on PCVR, the hand movements that are displayed locally do not correspond accurately to what remote users see. The core issue appears to be that finger curl data is transmitted on a per-finger basis rather than per-joint, similar to the legacy Index-controller finger curl implementation. This leads to incorrect representation of specific hand signs, particularly those that involve fingers being straight but angled. Users employing custom OSC hand tracking do not face this problem, highlighting a discrepancy in how hand tracking data is processed and transmitted in VRChat. Steps to Reproduce: Use VRChat on PCVR with native hand tracking enabled. Perform hand signs that require specific joint-based finger curls (e.g., fingers that are straight but angled). Have a remote user observe the hand signs. Compare the hand movements observed by the remote user with what is displayed locally. Observed Result: Remote users observe incorrect or misaligned hand movements due to finger curl data being transmitted per-finger instead of per-joint. This issue is consistent across different users and instances, regardless of whether VRChat is restarted or even reinstalled. Expected Result: Hand tracking data should be transmitted per-joint rather than per-finger, ensuring that remote users see an accurate representation of the local user’s hand movements. This is essential for the proper execution of Sign Language and other precise hand gestures in VRChat. Frequency: Always Impact: This bug severely impacts users who rely on Sign Language for communication, as it prevents accurate representation of certain hand signs. The lack of precise hand tracking translation compromises the ability to communicate effectively using Sign Language in VRChat. Additional Information: The issue occurs across multiple users, instances, and devices. Users with custom OSC hand tracking do not encounter this issue, suggesting a difference in how tracking data is handled. Accurate transmission of hand movements, down to the individual joint level, is critical for Sign Language and other detailed gestures.

well i tried to get on vrc today and came to the sad message that the game cant be ran on a virtual machine. i dont get why tho cause vrchat isnt a competitive game in any sorta way compared to games like marvel rivals which i dont understand why access was just removed with no warning at all . please not all of us can build or purchase a pc not with these ram prices now that we found a solution to that issue. its being taken away other than cause cheaters. ive been playing the game for like 4 years and ive only ran into hackers when EAC wasnt there. Hell i even bought sllimes cause they work on shadow pc !!! shout out to slimes for making FBT available to all peoples. But please i just wish to hang out with my friends and enjoy VRchat

Pen item "Frosted Scribe" pickup state is out of sync in certain situations, preventing ownership transfers from working properly. The following issue occur: X: Jittering occurs when a pen is taken from a user holding it. Y: The state of holding the pen persists even if the user holding the pen has it taken by another user. Z: When the user holding the pen has it taken by another user and the user who took it releases the pen, the pen returns to its original state and can be written with. However, it does not appear to the other users that the pen has returned, and they cannot see what is being written. Here I will define user A and user B and describe how to reproduce the issue. User A equips the "Frosted Scribe". User B takes the "Frosted Scribe" from User A. (At this point, Issue Y occurs.) User B manipulates the stolen pen. (At this point, Issue X occurs.) User B releases the stolen pen. User A can see the pen returned to their hand. However, to User B, the pen appears to be in the same location as when they released it, and it does not appear to have returned to User A. User A manipulates the pen. (At this point, Issue Z occurs.)

get EAC Error kicked (Moderator Kick may work the same, unsure because ppl don't kick me) attempt to rejoin that instance see 0,0,0 for a few frames and get booted to random Public instance It took me over an hour and a support ticket to realize why this was happening. There was no error explaining that EAC error kicks tempban for an hour from that instance, so I had to take to the VRC Discord to find out what the hell was going on. This ABSOLUTELY NEEDS an error message in the client. The fact that it doesn't is crazy. I don't even know why I started getting EAC errors recently, but what bothers me more is how long it took me to figure out why I could not rejoin, and needed to waste the Discord's time to do so.

Please alow shadow pc to work 😭😭I know u probably didn't mean to cut off shadow pc users but it feels like you took everything from me. Please please please fix this 😭😭😭😭

Open vrchat and go anywhere. World audio seems fine. Voices are bugged, they sound perfectly fine sometimes and then out of nowhere voices sound really loud/close or sound like they are coming from the wrong direction. Maybe a spatial audio bug?

Since a recent update, VRChat no longer launches on Shadow PC. It appears Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) is detecting Shadow PC as a virtual machine and blocking the game. I am not using any mods, cheats, or modified clients, and this service is my only practical way to access VRChat. This change has completely prevented me from playing, despite having been a long-term, legitimate player. I understand anti-cheat measures are necessary, but a blanket block on virtual machines affects users relying on trusted cloud PC services for accessibility, cost, or hardware limitations. Request: Clarification on whether Shadow PC support is permanently blocked. Consideration of whitelisting trusted cloud PC providers. Any recommended alternatives or workarounds for affected users that would be possible for users affected by accessibility, cost, and/or hardware limitations.
