Remote Users Avatar Teleporting on Instance Exit
closed
Salbug
Whenever a user leaves an instance, their avatar is quickly teleported in a random direction during the fade-out from their POV. This issue appears to be purely visual but is easily noticeable.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Observe another user's avatar as they leave an instance.
- On your screen, their avatar will appear to teleport in a random direction during the moments as they leave.
- On their end, they will not notice any unusual behavior, as the fadeout proceeds normally.
Additional Notes:
This issue is localized to observers and does not impact the departing user's experience. However, it does still create a visual anomaly albeit brief one for others.

Coming back to this issue, I've only been able to reproduce this problem when offsetting with OVR Advanced Settings and then exiting SteamVR (thanks very much for this suggestion!).
I'm going to close this for now since I haven't been able to reproduce this in VRChat without using external software like OVR Advanced Settings, which is something we don't really have control over from our side.
Salbug
So I have a untested theory on how to replicate this.
I believe it's more likely to happen to fullbody users (unsure though if this also is likely to happen to halfbody users) who close SteamVR while in VRChat (either that or just simply closing VRChat) but either way, once that happens you see the affected user teleport about a meter or so before disappearing a few frames later.
Salbug
Yeah, thinking deeper on it, I believe it might just be related to SteamVR and people who have Playspace Mover / OVR Advanced Settings. It's likely just the user's playspace shifting in the frame before they disappear when shutting off SteamVR while in VRChat.
Salbug
I can confirm that it is more likely to happen when a remote user closes the app.

Update: Haven't been able to catch a video of it, but some others who have observed the behavior speculate it is likely to happen when a user closes the app.

Thanks for your report. Unfortunately we haven't been able to reproduce this issue so far.
Are you able to provide a video of the issue triggering? Does this issue only trigger in specific worlds or with specific avatars?

Dexvoid it doesn't happen to me anymore. It actually was only broken for me for 1-2 days in december
Salbug
Dexvoid I'll try and catch a video of it if I can, but when it was happening it was usually in any world with any avatar.
