VRChat 2023.3.3

Release - 4 October 2023 - Build 1353

Features

  • Implemented the Content Gating labeling system.
    • Avatars and worlds can have Content Gating labels added to them at upload time or via the VRChat Home website. These warnings will appear in the VRChat UI
    • The labels will be used to filter content for users in an upcoming update.
      • The filter isn't active yet, but we're telling you about it now! We're adding the labeling with this release so you can label stuff early.
      • You really should read the blog post for more filter info, but here's some important details:
        • Users under 18 have all Content Gating labels on by default, and cannot turn any labels off
        • Users 18 or older have all Content Gating labels off by default, and can turn each label on as they see fit
    • Please read more in our Content Gating blog post first!
    • We've also updated our Creator Guidelines to account for this new system and to define what each label means.
  • You can now preload worlds!
    • Click the Preload World button on the instance page to download the world without joining!
    • If you get an instance invite, preload from the triple-dot menu on the invite.
  • Added a timeline for Group Announcements!
    • Now you can read all the recent announcements from a Group! Scroll through the latest news from your favorite groups
    • Added a 'lil marker when a new announcement is ready for you, and added timestamps to posts
  • Added language detection!
    • If your system language is set to a VRChat-supported language, we'll automatically switch your client to match.
  • Like, a lot of performance improvements...
    • General improvements to load times on all platforms, including worlds and first joins on Quest.
    • Numerous framerate improvements, including framerate when no mirrors or realtime lights are visible.
    • Nameplates now have better performance and less effect on framerate.
    • If Skip Go On Load is enabled, you'll now entirely skip the download screen and jump straight to loading.
    • Fixed a number of rare edge cases that could cause instability.
    • Loading screen and loading screen music no longer stutter.
