Client

New Features

Let's start out with a video for one of the big features of this release: Native eye tracking!

Native eye tracking is here! It currently supports Quest Pro standalone as well as OSC input.
- There are a bunch of new settings available in the Tracking & IK main menu page such as:
  - Disabling eye-look and eyelid tracking separately
  - Setting eye tracking to turn off when you mute yourself (in case you want to keep the eye rolling private...)
  - A toggle that will show you where your eyes are currently looking. This toggle does not show for remote users.
  - Force eye tracking raycast, which will force the eyes to converge at a distance determined by a raycast hit. A fancy feature that lets eye tracking align to the depth of different surfaces in your worlds. Perfect for those who love staring longingly into deep abysses...
- Do not fear, if your avatar had the existing automatic eye-look set up in the SDK, it should work with this system!
- Note that winking is coming soon (in a future SDK version), but it will require a reupload to function
- Check the OSC Eye Tracking docs for OSC endpoints
- Users on Live will not be able to see your eye tracking, as the live client doesn't know what the heck to do with that data
The Settings menu has been completely overhauled with a new look and better organization
Avatar downloads are now prioritized by size, which means loading into a world—especially on slower internet connections—will show you more avatars more quickly

Added a new launch flag --disable-hw-video-decoding that will force software video decoding on AVPro video players
- This may provide a fix for those experiencing video issues on AMD GPUs, but will use slightly more CPU resources instead; if you have experienced stuttering or crashing with video players before, please let us know what hardware you have and if enabling this helps!
The 2FA input panel will now auto-select the text field
The camera focus ring will now fade to gray after a few moments so you can focus ( ;) ) more on your picture's subject

"Here" tab now refreshes your current location after switching instances
The Groups Info page will now allow you to accept pending invites instead of always showing "Request to Join"
Issues when logging out and back in without restarting
Nameplates no longer float too high above avatars in relation to SkinnedMeshRenderers without a root bone
The "emergency avatar" shortcut (~, \, #, or similar) no longer triggers while typing in a text field
"Represent Group" button now shows when viewing a group from a user profile
Improved transparent shader for avatar hider and earmuff distance visualizations
Built-in keyboard weirdness when moving the caret to the start position and entering a new character
Placeholder controller image on "Controls" page
MSAA no longer defaults to "Off" on fresh installs
Camera issues such as scrolling through camera filters, camera submenus, and camera scrolling over focus settings when using the arrow buttons
Issues when loading "Generic" avatars
Issues with animated audio on avatars when earmuffs are enabled
Hovering over elements in the wing menus sometimes not animating correctly
Potential improvements to EAC unloading, preventing some users from restarting VRChat
Safety and security fixes

In a future release of VRChat, we're adding tooltip translations to the Quick Menu and Main Menu for Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Korean!
- These translations are only for the tooltips to start
- These were originally slated for release with this update, but due to feedback from our localization community, we're delaying until a later release

OnOwnershipTransferred now fires when the master client leaves
Serialized network IDs (from the Network ID tool in SDK) now read correctly in the client, which fixes some worlds breaking their Udon sync between platforms
Security changes around the Udon Blacklisting system. Any GetComponents call may now return null entries if there are filtered components: Watch for this in your scripts!
