VRChat 2025.2.1 (OPEN BETA)

April 15 - Build 1621 - Open Beta

Features

Profile Refresh & Pronouns

Profile Editing got a refresh and we added a new field: Pronouns!

There is now a new "Edit Profile" button on your personal profile page. You can edit your profile picture, icon, bio, links, languages, and pronouns.

The new pronouns field has also been added to player nameplates. Don't want yours to show? Leave them "Unlisted."

VRRat uses he/him, if you're curious.

Changes & Fixes

  • Made some changes to how instance settings are presented based on feedback:
    • We've removed the extra step to change instance settings when creating a new instance. You can still change them from the Quick Menu's "Here" tab after you've entered your new instance.
    • Changed how the Emojis and Stickers options in the action menu appear while in an instance with those settings disabled.
  • Fixes have been made to PhysBones to address jitter that was introduced in 2025.1.3.
    • These changes affected many avatars, but were most noticeable on a few skirt setups as well as long flow bones like flow toys. These changes also address an underlying jitter issue that were present in older versions but only under high framerate situations, greater then 60fps.
    • Please test your PhysBone creations and report any new or unfixed issues!
  • Added more options to control the Drone's FPV screen movement in VR: Slow move, static, and head lock.
  • Fixed VRChat aim and look-at constraints calculating incorrect offsets in some specific situations with the component active and the offset unlocked.
  • Added an option to completely disable output logging.
  • Improved reliability of avatar download prioritization.
  • Improved behaviour for choosing which hand has the "active" cursor, for example while the Quick Menu is open, or while holding pickups.
  • Fixed sharing pedestals sometimes showing scrambled or corrupt images when device memory is low.
  • Fixed UI state issues when switching into a local avatar.
  • Fixed processing dialog sometimes remaining after purchasing a VRC+ subscription.
  • Improved latency of voice and IK after teleporting long distances, or when Udon changes voice ranges.
  • StringLoading will no longer cause a hitch when loading large non-string data.
    • Accessing Result will still convert the data to a string via Encoding.UTF8.GetString and may stutter, but using ResultBytes will not.
  • Fixed VRCObjectSync not setting the gravity/kinematic states of the attached rigidbody if these are changed via Udon as soon as the game object is enabled.

Camera Dolly Fixes

  • Added an option for Camera Dolly points to stay visible while playing an animation. Points will not be visible to the camera.
  • Fixed Look-At-Me constraint not being applied to Camera Dolly multi-stream cameras.
  • Fixed Camera Dolly animations in portrait looking skewed.
  • Added an option to export animations relative to the world origin (previously the default behaviour) or relative to yourself (local).

Known Issues

  • Your Drone configuration may be reset when coming from a previous build.

April 17, Build 1622

Fixes & Changes

  • Fixed an issue that would cause other players to sometimes not appear, or with great delay.
    • We are not 100% certain our fix catches all the edge-cases here - if you are experiencing this issue and you are sure you're on the 1622 build, please report so on this canny! 🙏
  • Changed the minimum and maximum font size of pronouns on the nameplate to be in line with other elements.
  • Custom pronouns will now be hidden from nameplates while in streamer mode.
  • Fixed a bug that would result in the platform tag on nameplates appearing collapsed.
  • Fixed a regression that made the movement of PhysBones using Immobile different then expected.
  • Fixed a regression causing particle systems on avatars to sometimes start playing when they shouldn't.
  • Optimized some internal network usage.
  • Safety and Security fixes. Love to see it.

April 24, Build 1623

Fixes & Changes

  • Fixed player voices sometimes not transmitting, once again.
    • As before, this fix will only apply in newly opened instances. Please wait a day before reporting this issue still occurring!
  • "Do Not Disturb" no longer auto-declines incoming friend requests.
    • Instead, they are delivered quietly to the "Friend Requests" inbox.
  • User notes and pronouns can now be edited by clicking on them on the user profile.
  • Increased minimum pronouns text size on nameplates to improve readability on lower-resolution devices.
  • Fixed remote camera positions not syncing.
  • Fixed "Audio from Camera" mode incorrectly changing listener radius based on avatar scale.
  • Fixed an issue where Quest devices couldn't use all intended microphone modes ("Toggle", "Always On").
  • Fixed HUD sometimes becoming invisible in worlds with Occlusion Culling enabled.
  • Fixed a memory crash with certain avatars using PhysBone collisions.
  • Fixed crash that could happen when traveling extremely far distances, usually from a teleport, while wearing an avatar with PhysBones.
  • Restored a log entry related to avatar switching used by some community-made tools.
  • Fixed a regression in world load times on non-PC platforms.
