Android crashing with private instances
tracked
Jinx404
- open vrchat mobile (android)
- select world and create a private (invite only) instance
- the app crashes
I thought it was just me, since I don't normally use mobile, but it seems it's been happening to others. I also heard things are fine when you join a public instance
so I tried that just to check and yes, so far it seems it's only crashing on private or at least invite only instances

Is there a fix to this yet?

Austin482 Instances being unresponsive compared to how they're supposed to work, that's still an issue. So they still have more to do. They did fix the instance creation crashing thing though.

instance bug (beta/android)
Xelzinho
When I was in an instance with IK (facial system) activated and playing, an error occurred and the game closed, I opened it again and tried to enter an instance, when the game closed again, I tried to restart, clear cache, reinstall, but the bug persists to this day, the only way I found was to first enter the instance (classic lobby) and then migrate to others, otherwise the game closes by itself.

needs more information
Can you provide your device and OS details?
Do you have any logs from the crash?

StormRel I use VRChat on a Note10+. Runs on android 12, OneUI version is 4.1. I don't have any logs but I can provide a screen recording of the issues if needed. Someone I know having the same issues runs on a A51. He has a screen recording of the crash in which I can provide as well.

Limited666: A video would be helpful! Do you know how much ram is in the model your friend has?
Limited666
StormRel I have no idea. I'l grab the videos needed. I know how much ram my phone has. It's 12GB. Also, those videos I sent in via Email to you, I'm told the mic audio got corrupted after the first clip. I'm unsure why that occured as every clip was part of a larger 5 minutes and 55 seconds screen recording. If you're wanting to know what I was trying to say, it's basically what I was mentioning in the first reply to Jinx. Instances not working properly, that's what I was trying to showcase. Instances worked fine before but when the crashing issue occurred, so did the instances not working as they should.

StormRel I provided the screen recording my friend made but I cannot provide the one I made because it's too large of a file. I can only provide videos or photos up to 8MB. My screen recording exceeds that. However, I did describe my issues in very specific detail in my first response to Jinx.

StormRel google pixel 6a + Android 15. I'm not sure how to get logs from this version.

Not entirely true. When I create instances, as you say, it crashes. However, there's an issue also where if you join an ALREADY made instance, it doesn't fully load the instances registry. Resulting in places like, Rainy Road, having it's player join and leave notifier broken and unresponsive, only showing the plus that's normally there. Other places like Midnight bar, have the issue of failing to load main properties, leading to an inability to run the instance as intended, going behind the bar counter won't work and at the spawn, the message of "this is for people who may have skipped the language select screen when joining" remains present, for the entire duration. I assume these issues continue to persist in different ways when joining other instances of different worlds. I've contacted VRChat staff about it but they still have yet to actually tell me if they're fixing it or not. So I'm still skeptical if I'll ever get to play again, as I have no other platforms to play on and cannot afford another platform to play on.

Limited666 no idea by what you mean by not entirely true considering I just described the issue exactly as I was experiencing it but glad it didn't happen to you I guess.
Limited666
Jinx404 What I meant was, if you're likely experiencing the same thing, then it's plausible you haven't noticed EVERYTHING wrong but rather just ONE thing. That's totally fine, as experimentation is optional... but I will say one thing, it's unfortunate for both of us that such a thing is occurring.
Jinx404
Limited666 oh absolutely. I'm not a regular mobile user so I peeked into the discord, wondering if this was a common issue people already experienced, since it's in beta etc. A couple people actually said they did, but no solution. Folks were suggested to post here and I thought sure, why not bite the bullet and do it. See what happens. I'm still trying to figure out if it was something I overlooked but it is assuring knowing it's not just me. Hope something gets figured out. (also sorry, cranky at odd hours. I apologize if I came off rude earlier.)
Limited666
Jinx404 No apologies needed. Could tell it wasn't like you to have random bursts of rudeness. The way you originally talked in the first post pointed out your lovely personality pretty much. I may not be a licensed psychologist but I'm a self taught one for years, so it's always nice to meet people like you. Hopefully we can talk in-game sometime if they ever fix the stuff. ^w^ (Also, side note, you are right... it may not have been worth taking VRChat staffs recommendation on posting here since the vibe they give off comes to mind like a lazy toddler. "We suggest you try these troubleshooting steps even though you already have but then post on a random social site for no apparent reason other then to complain more while we ALSO don't tell you about us fixing ANYTHING so you'll worry EVEN MORE." Honestly... companies like VRChat and Facebook have REALLY put me into a downward spiral... for no other reason than them not doing the job they're paid for. Meanwhile I have no job so IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MY TASK TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO LIKE I'M THEIR PARENT! LIKE...-! Y'know?) 🤣🤣�
