Still consistently stuck in loading screen at 100% if avatars don't finish downloading
complete
Ϲake
I want to start this by saying that this has happened for many months and it would be really great to not have to restart every few minutes.
Description: Upon attempting to join another world, even your home world or an already downloaded world, you get stuck loading at 100% or, if the world is already downloaded, 0.00b/...
Repro steps: Grab a friend and make them switch to a huge avatar (100mb+ depending on your net) or join a full world e.g. Drinking Night, go into their world and, before everything has a chance to fully download and load in, go back to your home world / another world.
Expected: You load into the world you selected.
Actual: You get stuck at 100% or 0.00b/... until you restart the game
This happens when you don't let every single avatar, including your own, fully download and load in. I've replicated it hundreds of times without fail throughout my 300 hours of playtime. The only way around this for someone with subpar internet is to drop your Avatar Size Limit to 10-20MB and wait for every avatar in the world to fully load in before switching to another world.
The only way to get out of the loading screen is to restart the game.
I love this game but it has become quite literally unplayable for someone with mediocre internet unless I limit the avatar size to 5Mb. Even then, in a world with 30 people, a lengthy wait can be expected before being able to join another world.
Another thing to note is that, and I believe this happens when avatars finished downloading but not loading in, you may join another world but will be stuck not loading anyone's avatars, regardless of if they've finished downloading or not.
Edit: I've tried clearing my cache, using Revo to completely wipe my hdd clean of VRChat, reinstalling multiple times, and some random setting changes people in-game told me to try. I play through steam and the issue has persisted for months.

I've heard some people state they're still getting this, but when asked they state what sounds like a similar but definitely distinct bug. Anyone still seeing this?

This was a (surprisingly) tough one, but it should be fixed in 2021.2.4, our latest release!

Stuck at 100% on world downloading screen
Nope
After switching few worlds the game will get stuck on world downloading screen. The progress bar will show 100% but the game will not proceed further to initialization screen. Going to home world will not help because it won't load as well.

VrChat loading screen 100% stuck bug

Version: VRChat 2020.3.3, build 992.
Description of the bug: 100% stuck loading screen
Steps to reproduce (how did you encounter the bug?): The loading screen when reach 100% stays forever with the 0.00b/ that happends when I go to another world or go home and the only way out of it is to exit/quit the game to start over and still will happen randomly.

Happened for me when I used a slow connection (around 10 Mbit/s). After switching to a 100 Mbit/s connection I almost never had it again.

The bit about changing worlds before the avatar is finished downloading appears to be new info-- thank you for repro steps!!!
I'll pass this on.

Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: Hope it helps! I really love this game but it's awful to play with snail speed internet and this bug right now. Thanks for looking into it and let me know if I can help some other way (logs or whatever)!

Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: I want to report that I haven't had the issue described in the post at all today. First time I've played in a week, in case some fixes have been done!
Edit: Nevermind, got stuck after returning to my home world and trying to join on a friend. Seems inconsistent or rare now? If I do some investigating I'll update the post or edit this reply.

Every update I am hopeful for a fix, but nope. I spend more time loading into worlds and restarting the game thousands of times than actually playing nowadays.

Here with the same Problem and contributing to give this issue more attantion. It seems to happen if you dont let all the Avatars load in, gonna try to verify that soon. And the only fix is to Restart the game which gets annoying fast.
