# VRChat 2023.2.1
Release - 13 April 2023 - Build 1295
# 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](https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/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
## Improvements
* 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
## Fixes
* "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
## Additional Notes
* 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

# Creators
## Improvements
* Added `IsPosed` parameter to PhysBones
## Fixes
* **`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!
