Duplicated Avatar/User Bug
tracked
カイザーキツネ01lol
My friend closed VRChat through Meta's Universal Menu
Then I closed my game too
after ~25 minutes we went back in the group instance
then there was the other character of him
everyone who rejoined can see it, before they were not able to see it.
We are both on separate versions
My friends build number is 1629
I have put my build number in the Build number text field below
He is the group owner and he can't kick, ban or warn anyone

This is currently happening to us with up to 5 clones of the same user in the world, and even if that user leaves, the clones remain. We can not get rid of them and it breaks things (apart from performance issues). There doesn't seem to be a specific way of reproducing it, as it happens with multiple users on different platforms and they do nothing special.

Additional information: Output logs (394 KB) in support ticket #707476 (too much sensitive data to purge/sanitize and post publicly here). Logs start at ~22:42:40, issue logged at 22:51:45.
This time this happened immediately after I tried joining a Friends+ (friend #1), the instance was emptied while I was joining, I was sent to "Must request travel first" softlock and then sent to an TryAlternateInstance instance (Friends); I was meant to be the instance owner for this new alternate Friends instance, but somehow my friend #2 had connected to the alt instance before me.
I still had to wait several minutes for my friend to actually load into the instance.
The player pill was only on the unanimated "Loading in" copy and both were initially loaded as error robots.

Unusually long granular load times: 'waitForPlayerInitialize': 5.001, 'waitForPlayerData': 5.007. (timeouts?)

I'm trying to summarize the logs here publicly.
- Invite generated to join a lonely friend #1 (a sole user of the instance) in Friends+ at 22:42:04
- Invite accepted to join friend #1's Friends+ at 22:42:08
- Entering world at 22:42:11
- Friend #1 left the instance I invited myself to, leaving the Friends+ instance empty.
- "Must request travel first." at 22:42:40-22:43:41
- TryAlternateInstance at 22:44:11
- Entering alternate instance world (Friends) at 22:44:14
- Dispatching 1 player join/leave events that arrived during scene loadat 22:44:23
- OnPlayerJoinComplete WubTheCaptain/OnPlayerJoined WubTheCaptain@ 22:44:33 - high granular load times seen at this time,Restored player 1
- [Behaviour] Player ToxicSpel did not receive initial data in time, forcing spawn@ 22:44:38 - reportedOnPlayerJoined ToxicSpelat the same time (error robot loading in)
- ToxicSpel actually loaded in at 22:45:53, Restored player 2at 22:45:54, duplicated avatar/user.

Seeing a clone of myself in the same instance
amsonia_
I joined an instance and seconds later i found a clone of myself in the world, not moving around but in the falling animation. The clone loaded in as my fallback (but kept the blue "loading in..." icon) while i saw myself as my quest version avatar. Another person (pc vr) in the instance didnt see this clone though. The instance showed that there are 3 people in it so the clone might have counted aswell. I did not see this in a different world so far, so i am unsure if it's world related.

As the title says. There's no way to reproduce atm.
The log is attached.

I and a couple friends ran into this (or a very similar/related) issue on OB as well, except just with the loading avatar. We were able to see a duplicated loading avatar in our view as we were loading.

What world is that?
I've noticed that when a user is connecting, a user can show up at the origin point (0,0,0) and then if they successfully connect, the avatar will move to the world spawn point.
It's only a world problem in so much that an avatar at 0,0,0 is noticeable, I have seen some worlds tweaked such that the origin point is hidden out of view.
