I strongly recommend this given when I opened VRChat today the first 'event' I saw showed images of self-harm on the auto-popup menu.

Very much like the change to Windows 11, UI changes are annoying. I know we'll adjust but the amount of times on muscle memory I accidently misclick when trying to open the social tab or calibrate is insane. Please do not go move the most used buttons on a whim.

I also think that this Launchpad update is not a good one.

To summarize briefly:

Don't move important buttons too frequently.

Don't make important buttons smaller.

Don't remove the expand button.

Don't leave too much white space.

You should judge the importance of a button based on how many times you press it.

You should carefully align what users need with what the management wants them to use.

Another way to put it is this:The menu from about a year ago is better.

I thought that criticism alone would only complicate the situation, so I only made the bare minimum changes and created an image as an example of a better design.

I've posted it alongside the current version for easy comparison.

I believe there are many areas that could be improved if we carefully honed them in on them, but I intentionally kept the changes to a minimum.

System overhauls are important at times, but innovation without user support is simply destructive. If the person who created this UI arbitrarily swapped the back and home buttons on the smartphone, and changed the PC keyboard from QWERTY to AZERTY, or vice versa, would people understand how inconvenient it would be?

+1 .. Gave it a chance, but the most used buttons like "respawn" and "calibrate" is just .. a lot more inconvenient now.. Like.. why?

Not to mention the content of the big menu (Live now) section being utterly irrelevant to how I use vrc. I could not care less. And even having it automatically pop up on every start is just infuriating.

I gave it a go. Tried not to judge it. But nothing of these changes have been an improvement - Quite the opposite.

I had a difficulty trying to find home, sit/stand because of the words are small to notice it’s there.

The 2 options below 3 options are going to be very useless because I don’t want to shop, including the events that are live.

The new quick menu look does look very useless, with the full menu I prefer the old one. Why I wanna go to live or upcoming events that I’m not interested?

No one at canny thought of putting the most used "Respawn", "Home", "Sit/Stand", and "Safety level" buttons at the bottom as the very very smallest buttons, instead of putting the very unnecessary "Live Now" and the very infrequently opened "Shop" buttons at the bottom.

Now, changing "Sit/Stand" from "press the button" to "aim the controller cursor at the button and press it". also "Home", "Safety" button.

While in a vehicle, you need to press the "Respawn" button to escape from that state, but the button is now very small, so if your avatar moves faster than you can aim with the cursor, you will not be able to respawn that world.

This patch will make it impossible to move between worlds in certain situations, requiring you to exit the world by restarting and restarting the VRChat game itself.

This isn't something I made up, it's based on my own experience, and I'm still really pissed today.

This patch makes me understand why people recommend VRCMods.

very much TRUE

as Daisuko-chan mentioned.... Those 4 buttons get more " Smash OR Pass " abusage.....or higher traffic volume than world, avatar, social, and groups.

Primary buttons should not or never be move as its the first place that every one goes to.

What does " Live Now " do for the USER? What usefulness does it have compared to RESPAWN OR SIT/STAND?

A User going to a instance for a bit then starts to lag heavily.....that user will probably need an aim assist to hit that small HOME icon....

Shrink the Length of the AD bar to the left and move Live Now and Shop to the Right of it........If space s the issue that cant move it their then expand the launch pad. Turning both Live Now and Shops into half horizontal blocks and restore the original buttons back.....i believe we had something like that before...

.....next damn thing the investors gonna want is AD Space during LOADING Time......

but hey...who are we to say........having a CUSTOMIZABLE LAUNCH pad on he front TAB is not in the picture....First shoving the rotating ad then shop now Live....whats the next investor idea they gonna shove down our throats.....

Thats my rant of the night...id go on more but typing from an CV1 Oculus is hard...

I agree with you, they just move the bottom section of the launchpad as small icons, and they will add the live now tap in the first slot which will move social to the second layer and I would be clicking on Avatars tab like a lot just to open social menu. They should make it customizable.

Go Home and Respawn button before were big and easy to click and now it is just so small that it is difficult to press them.

Why just why it didn't need to change

my question is why is it that every time you load in they are shoving the live page down your throat anyone else notice that
