VRChat 2023.3.1

Release - 9 August 2023 - Build 1332

New Features

  • Added video link support to Quest!
    • Previously, you'd have to use a direct video link or an external link resolver to get videos from various sites to play on Quest. Not anymore! Video links of all kinds will work.
    • We've implemented a link resolver similar to the one we use on PC, so now you can play video on Quest without having a direct video link. You can simply paste in the URL.
    • See our Creator docs for our allow-list of services that work without having to Allow Untrusted URLs.
  • You can now purchase yearly VRChat Plus subscriptions on Oculus Quest!
    • There will be a new button on the VRChat+ menu yearly subscriptions, with a 16% discount versus subbing monthly.
    • ⚠️ Yearly VRChat Plus subscription purchases will not work on the Beta on Oculus Quest.
  • We also redesigned the VRC+ homepage in the Main Menu!
    • If you're a subscriber, this page will now change to indicate the status of your sub, as well as show VRC+ specific settings.
  • New "Avatar World" filter added to search for when you just need something cool to wear

Improvements

  • Group menu improvements including:
    • Merged the Join a Group and Group Search categories into one
    • Copied the Group Locations category from the Social tab to the Groups tab and renamed it to Group Activity
    • If you're not a member of a group we'll prompt you to find or create one
  • We've made it possible to throw all your VRChat pictures into one, big, unsorted folder
    • Adding picture_output_folder to your config file and pointing at a valid folder should now redirect all pictures taken in VRChat to that folder instead of My Pictures/VRChat
    • You can also stop sorting pictures by date by adding picture_output_split_by_date to your config file and setting it to false
  • Added a Group Nameplate Banner toggle to the Action Menu

Creators

  • Added support for OSCQuery, which allows for easy OSC setup!
    • Applications that implement OSCQuery can automatically find VRChat and configure themselves to send data.
    • Native support for multiple OSC receivers! VRChat will automatically find OSCQuery apps which support data it can send, and open up a new port to send that data to each supported receiver.
    • You can still configure OSC using Launch Options. However, if you don't, VRChat will automatically find a good UDP port if you turn on OSC at runtime.
    • See the Unity Examples for more information on setting up an OSCQuery App to send and receive data.
  • Added support for sending out head and wrist tracking data from the VR system over OSC. This feature will require the receiving app to use OSCQuery.
    • This requires enabling an option in the Tracking and IK section of the Main Menu: "Allow Sending Head and Wrist VR Tracking OSC Data"

Known Issues

  • Lighting in avatar preview can be affected by world settings
  • Muting/Unmuting via key or button does not play a sound
  • OSCQuery: Input/MoveBackward provides an incorrect description
