Open Beta

For how much I like auto-hold being available for accessibility, I really hope that it can be toggled off in the settings for VR users. As someone who really hates "sticky pickups" in VR games; this is a must for me. Having pickups stick to my hand until I press the grip button again is very unintuitive for me and doesn't feel natural whatsoever

I have been using "--disable-amd-stutter-workaround" and "--enable-hw-video-decoding" since December 2024, and the 7900 XT was running smoothly with those settings. I am using a PICO 4 as my VR HMD. It would be ideal to test with devices such as the VIVE or Index, but since I do not own them, my testing is limited to wireless streaming only. I tested the open beta (Build 1797) using the 7900 XT with driver version 25.12.1, using both Virtual Desktop and PICO Connect. It ran without any issues. (Of course, I did not use the stutter workaround launch options in the open beta.) Next, I tested the open beta (Build 1797) with the 9070 XT and driver version 26.2.1. Performance was very good with both PICO Connect and Steam Link. In Steam Link, slight reprojection was visible in the frame time graph, but it was not noticeable during actual gameplay. With Virtual Desktop, the behavior seems unstable as soon as SteamVR is launched, and stuttering occurs regardless of whether those options are enabled or disabled. I suspect this may be related to an issue with AMD’s encoder in Virtual Desktop. Because AMD switched driver branches starting with version 26.1.1, I believe the 9070 XT does not have encoder-related issues with Virtual Desktop on driver versions up to 25.12.1. In previous testing with the stable release of VRChat on driver 25.12.1, no issues were observed, regardless of whether the launch options were enabled or disabled. 25.5.1 to 25.10.1 (25.10.xx.xx) 25.10.2 to 25.12.1 (25.20.xx.xx) 26.1.1 to 26.2.1 (25.30.xx.xx) <- The encoder issue on the 9000 series appears to have started in this branch.

Having ALT Scroll be what scrolls items in your hand kinda hurts muscle memory alot and Third Person being a new feature is awesome and something I wanted for years. But Could we please have the scrolling function of it pls be on ALT so that items can still be scrolled normally? Thanks

earlier in the session i was at the smallest height i could be, however the camera didnt scale with my avatar. as you can see the photo is being taken from far away with zoom, but it appears closer than it actually is.

this was a bug a while ago however it stopped happening, but its back.

This involves using the search button that's within the Group, Social or Worlds tabs, and not the search icon on the top by the bell. Launch the game. Open up menu and go to Worlds, Social, or Groups tab. Click the search button that's exclusive to that page. • "Search Worlds" button in the World tab • "User Search" button in the Social tab • "Find a Group" button in the Groups tab Search for anything. Observe nothing happen.

As part of the new item system, and as a companion for Add items & Item Interactions to Shield Levels¹ and Add option for "Allow Item Interactions from" Permissions² it is recommendable that culling options, similar to avatars, are added to the Quick Menu for improved safety and performance. These options should ideally include: Limit nearest number of items to [x] Show items within [x] meters Always show friends' items [boolean] This would allow users to self manage their own experiences with items beyond safety, ensuring that items are not unnecessarily shown and allowing them to have minimal performance impact in edge cases where numerous items are spawned. — https://feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/items-add-items-item-interactions-to-shield-levels https://feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/items-add-option-for-allow-item-interactions-from-permissions

Right now stickers scale based on how far away you are when you place them. It would be a nice QOL improvement to have an option for static scale. Could even set it up so the /actions/Menu/in/Scroll action bind changes the scale (desktop could scrollwheel too) I'm planning to place various avatar contacts on a sticker but if its scale is inconsistent, the contacts will be misaligned.

With the recent Open Beta changes, the following update has been introduced: Particle systems attached to an avatar can no longer collide with objects on the Pickup, PickupNoEnvironment or Item layers if they also apply a physics force. This resolves an exploit that could render some worlds unplayable. It’s disappointing that this change also removes features that many users have enjoyed as part of their avatar gimmicks. Please consider allowing this behavior to be toggled on a per-world or per-instance basis, similar to how stickers or items can be controlled. This would let creators preserve fun avatar interactions while still giving world authors the ability to prevent abuse when necessary.
