[1886]Disconnection or packet loss results in an infinite "Connecting" screen when attempting to reconnect.
HatsuneSora
This is a bug that originated during the beta phase—which introduced the current nameplate and UI designs—and it has persisted into the public/live version. It is also currently present in the BETA and UNITY-6 versions.
The error occurs following packet loss, a lag spike, or a momentary disconnection. VRChat then displays one of the following messages:
-VRChat is not responding
-VRChat is time out
-VRChat is disconnected
However, upon attempting to reconnect, the application gets stuck on an infinite "Connecting" screen and remains that way until VRChat is completely restarted.
Through testing, I noticed that this error occurs when wearing a "Very Poor" avatar. It does not happen when using avatars rated "Excellent" through "Poor."
Here is what I have ALREADY TRIED to fix it:
-Completely uninstalling and reinstalling VRChat like new
-Uninstalling SteamVR
-Clearing the entire VRChat cache
-Updating network adapter drivers
-Clearing the DNS cache
-Factory resetting my modem/ONT (provided by my ISP) Internet speed 500 Mbps
- Nothing in BETA version.
The error persists when wearing a "Very Poor" avatar. Consequently, I recorded a video demonstrating how to reproduce the issue, which I have attached to this post.
In the video, I used two avatars: one "Excellent" and one "Very Poor." I simulated an internet disconnection by simply unplugging my LAN cable for 15–20 seconds to trigger the "time out" message. I am also attaching the output_log files from each session shown in the video:
- Avatar_Excellent_output_log_2026-08-14_01-03-37 – For the optimized avatar.
- Avatar_VeryPoor_output_log_2026-08-14_01-23-05 – For the "Very Poor" avatar, where the error/bug preventing reconnection occurs.
I would also like to highlight the following lines from the log file where the error occurs:
1.- Error - [NetworkTransport] Failed to raise deferred operation of type 13.
2.- Error - SocketWebTcp.CloseCallback(). Going to disconnect. Server: wss://ns.photonengine.io:443/ Error: 1005 Reason:
3.- System.Exception: Failed to raise deferred operation of type 13.

These lines appear repeatedly when the error occurs, indicating that the session will not reconnect.
I hope you can help resolve this error, as it is very frustrating to have to completely restart VRChat whenever this momentary disconnection happens.
The information from my PC is located in the .tex files.
