Some avatars fail to load completely and become error avatars
complete
Tukumomi
For some avatars, after the download completes, the loading process remains stuck in the "UnPacking" state, and the avatars become error avatars.
This issue seems to occur regardless of Safety settings or Avatar Display settings, as the avatars cannot be displayed.
Even after changing settings and reloading the avatars, the problem persists.
This issue was observed not with my own avatar but with the avatars of several friends.

A few observations:
- Sometimes they will eventually load in as error robots after being stuck as loading diamonds for a while.
- I have had this happen to even my own avatar, if left long enough it turns into an error robot. No amount of changing in and out of the avatar or rejoining will fix it, I just have to use a different avatar.
- I have also seen this happen to other people’s avatars, no amount of hiding/showing will fix it, I just have to ask them to use a different avatar.
- I don’t use vrcx, never have.
- for me it only started happening after the second beta (1547)
- Clearing my cache seems to have fixed it.

Same continues to happen to me. Only fixed once I switched out of beta. Unsure what was causing the issue.

[1547] Avatar load failures when a lot of avatars change at the same time

When using open beta yesterday, a lot of players changed their avatars at the same time; a good half dozen of them were then stuck in error avatars thereafter. Hide/show avatar did not recover their avatars. Log: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2cnf241etgiur2qrug9bf/output_log_2024-11-20_05-01-32.zip?rlkey=8dv9ayita8nj7l4jmphuyijvj&st=ja4s04rk&dl=0

Seems to be working now. I think it may have been server issues?

Just in case, for anyone affected: Make sure you have no third-party applications running that could interfere with VRChat's cache functionality. Especially VRCX has caused issues before during this beta. Make sure VRCX is fully closed and then run VRChat again. If you still encounter this issue, try clearing your cache. If you _still_ encounter the issue - please post a log file so we can further investigate.

Do you have any logs from when this happened?

When the issue occurred, third-party applications like VRCX were not being used.
Apologies, but it seems that the log files have already been deleted.
I switched to the beta version and checked by visiting public worlds and with the help of a friend, but it seems that error avatars caused by this issue are no longer occurring.
(As others have pointed out, it might have been a temporary server error. However, it’s puzzling that it only occurred in the open beta...)

Same, many many of my avatars were error robots, but they showed up fine to everyone not in the beta, also some avatars of other players would also be randomly error robots, this persisted even with a clear cache and a restart, the same avatars would always error out. I had to switch back to normal vrchat as the beta errors were too intrusive.
