As title states, opening the user profile in the big menu causes significant hitching and can occasionally cause crashing. This doesn't occur in live.
Happens in boyh open beta and 3p beta.

Opening profile in VR while on 3p-beta causes VRChat to crash.

- While in VRChat, be in an instance with 10 or more people.
- Open the quick menu.
- Click the status area in the upper left corner to open the larger profile view.
- While opening the larger menu, VRChat hitches, then freezes completely.
- Force quitting VRChat is required.
Once I thought it was coincidence, but this has happened to me three times. I've attached my last log where this occurred.

Game locks out (Freezes) when clicking on user profile from launchpad.

I think this started happening since the last January 22nd open beta update. Tho before this update the game would sometimes freeze for 5 to 10 seconds after clicking on the user profile from the launchpad menu. I only noticed this on PCVR so Im not sure if it affects any other platform. I also havent noticed any patterns to it either it just sometimes happens and sometimes doesnt. But more often it does. The game just completely locks up and it never unfreezes- even after 15 mintues of waiting. No crash- no error- just frozen until you restart it. SteamVR just shows idle frame times too as if the game wasnt even running so ig it is a crash of some sort.

This is also happening to me on the open-beta branch (build 1783), even in an instance alone or with one other player. On occasion it would temporarily freeze upon viewing another player's profile but does not permanently freeze the game like my own does. In JustJaime's log and my own output log file however, there's nothing present that indicates the cause during the time the game first freezes upon opening one's own profile. This has been occurring to me and a few others in the VRChat Discord server from what I could find but has yet to be addressed.
When VRChat freezes while accessing my profile, the badges and represented group are not visible. It will freeze for about half a minute before freezing on another frame, the output logs do not record any particular reason for freezing just before 2026.01.25 01:29:48. It remains frozen until approx. 7 minutes go by as I am writing this. The logs then output at 2026.01.25 01:36:50, unsure if it's related to the issue but after that frame of time the game freezes once more. The game is set to a "Not Responding" state during all freezes.
