"Can't Travel" errors makes no sense and have bad formatting with ellipsis.
I got this report from another user. Pic related.
First
of all, it seems string#76296
You are not allowed to travel to that location. {0}
being substituted into
#35552
Can't Travel: {0}
which makes no sense: those stings say the same thing and provide no info one to another. They are not very clear.
Second
, the formatting on this pop-up alert is broken, text being scaled down a lot, not split into lines and cut with ellipsis. End user can't see the final text of error and actual reason of error, that being substituted into 76296.I assume same issue with original English texts too.
So, end-user sees that they can't travel because they not allowed to and that's it. 🤷🏻

ᴋᴀᴡᴀ can you share the repro steps you're using to reproduce this?

White Lotuz I personally did not have that error last times, but sometimes people reporting it. It usually happens when they trying to join group+ instances (especially vrchatru meetups) trough website link.

White Lotuz Ok, I figured out following:
- This error happens when user tries to join friend+ instance to a friend, but friend left already (as friends+ doesn't behave as "hidden public" anymore).
- This error happens when user tries to join group+ instance, but doesn't member of the group and don't have friends in instance (Same, unfortunately, group+ doesn't behave like "hidden group public" + vrchat doesn't suggest/inform user to join the group to be able to visit instance)
- This error happens when group instance requires to have role to join, but user doesn't have the role (It seems vrchat have no logic to inform users that they need to have some specific role to do some kind of actions)
- Some other similar "race conditions" when few friends try to join each other and can't because they are moved already or simply because social got desynced again.
Those cases are pretty common and easy to happen, so this
needs
proper explanations for sure to not confuse unexperienced end users.White Lotuz
ᴋᴀᴡᴀ thanks for the repro steps. We've merged a fix to add multiline support for HUD notifications so that should help with formatting on long strings. We'll take the suggestion for adding more clarity to the error, thanks!
