Huge Lag spikes when avatars loading in
Stray the Fox
Everytime a single avatar loads in the game lags heavily. When it is many people, the game tends to almost freeze because of that.

Yes, this Bug is back again and even more Worst, some Users Crashing then a Avatar is loading in. We lose in a 30 PPL world always 1 Player then one is Joining. but its mostly Random who is Crashing.

Today, after some patches, build 1287, still some lagspikes when loading avatars. So yeah it's still every time challenge for devs to smooth it out again and again.
Good luck.

Back at it again VRCdevs, since yesterdays patch.

As far as I know this is mainly happening cause of performance stats. Before EAC I used the mod no performance stats which made this none existing. But yeah it’s back now tho. So it would be nice to offset this somehow, multithread it or just not do it at all, or give the people the option to care for this performance stats or not.

Why not do the avatar performance scan server side ? One time after uploading ?
Want to save resources ?
Ok then do it "crowd computed" by different clients, and let them vote over it. And then save the result to the server along with the other avatar meta data.
You can even optimize the "crowd computing": let the SDK compute a performance level and save it as "claimed performance level" (can be faked ofc with modified SDK). Then let the crowd compute the real performance level only, when the avatar "should be displayed" according to the "claimed level" and the clients performance settings.

After the latest update (2020.3.3p2, build 996.) i have this issue, and for me its making the game unplayable on any public map, because if i join somewhere, my ping goes higher than 1000, youtube videos stop loading, and then my internet just dies, then the game kick me with the reason you are timed out. If i not getting kicked, then if someone change avatar or join, my game just hang while the avatar is not loaded.(for me its net-lag not FPS-lag, disabling avatars in the security tag helps)

Lag spikes and fps drops from avatars and menus

The game has a lot of lag when avatars a changed now, sometimes freezing my game for like 10 or more seconds every time someone or myself changes avatars. I've noticed this in the "Know your friends dice game" world of all places, and a couple of others. The menu also seems to lag a lot after opening Worlds or Social, observed in most worlds I visit. I have no idea why.

This and the menu stutters should be the top priority. These problems are real and they are not even considering fixing them yet. It's been there for months. Little demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EKN7nRmxdI

Let me report it again. The lag spikes are even more harder and worser when world has many players. Saw it on Septh 11th, and i must say it's not funny problem.
It affect for all streamers too. When someone join or change the avatar, you can even see streamer froze a bit.
Long time ago, avatar loading is good controlled. Now it's like client really pauses for a moment when avatar is loading (always at 100%). Heavy avatars have even longer freezes.
You should really look at it and try optimize it more. Nobody want freeze a lot in busy worlds. Do you want see Lolathon freeze a lot in the stream? I bet you don't like it.
My last stream at 11th Sept in lesson room, i can see how everyone react on freezes. We're signing too, and it freeze. That is not good for signing, because you will miss a part (compared to voice, which has different channel).
