By doing so, they'll automatically be sent to Canny. * You can do so via the Quick Menu. Click the Report (!) button, located in the top right corner, then click "Bug Report." * This feature supports automatic uploading of your client log file. * Introducing Signed Distance Fields (SDF)! * Stickers and Emoji now get a gpu-side check to see if they're 'cutout' friendly. That is, only have partially transparent pixels close to edges. * If they are, we run our own SDF calculation that turns their alpha into infinitely scalable images that look more like vector art. * SDFs increase both legibility and performance! * These images get pixel-perfect antialiasing and clipping at any distance and from nearly any angle, even on Android! * Emojis have been upgraded to utilize this new tech and get a facelift, they'll no longer be super aliased from a distance, even if animated. * Fixed a menu soft lock bug triggered by switching to a performance-gated avatar via a pedestal in the instance. * Previewed Accessories in the Accessories tab of the Shop are now shown on their own rather than attached to your current avatar. * You *might not* see this change, but most users will. * Some camera additions! * Added a black and white filter to the Camera. * Added a "Dog Vision" option to the Color Filters settings in the Quick Menu Settings page and the Main Menu Settings Accessibility tab. * Bark! * "Apply To World" now applies the selected filter settings to the world for the Desktop Steadycam view when that option is enabled from the Camera menu in PCVR. * Changed uses of the word `player` with `user` for clarity in several strings. * Fixed some overflowing texts on QM Selection menus and localized some strings that were unlocalized in various areas. * Fixed an issue where the max Prop spawning distance in relation to your current avatar size was sometimes wrong in third-person view. * Improved position and timing of entry Warp Effects. * Updated styling for compact user cells across the UI. * Reintroduced precisely highlighting pickups that can change shape, in other words `SkinnedMeshRenderer` support for `VRC_Pickup`. * We reverted this one in the last release due to it affecting some content. We've now added a field to specify which meshes exactly to outline. * The SDK that will allow them to fix that is *not* shipping with this patch, however. Next release will have it! * We feel that the amount of content this affects is extraordinarily small, but we still wanted to note this here anyway! * Users with slower connections should no longer appear at world origin before moving to their correct spawn location. * Prop Abilities have been enabled in the client. * We previously mentioned this change for world creators in the [last release](https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202623). * Instance creators can now do the same thing, giving them the ability to disable certain Props from being spawned. * Recently Used avatars section in the wings now works properly on fresh installs. * Dedicated "Friends" sections have been added to: * "In Instance" on the Social tab. * "Recently Seen" on the Social tab. * The Quick Menu's "Here" tab. * Android devices will now replace rtspt:// URLs during video player loading with `rtsp://` to work around a limitation of ExoPlayer. * Minor internal networking improvements. * Optimized image loading from the local cache. * Drone customizations persist across sessions again. * Fixed an issue that could lead to softlocks after using "Switch Account" from the menu. * The "boop" sound effect that plays when you get a notification is now decoupled from your HUD visibility mode, meaning that you can still hear notification sounds even if your HUD is turned off. * If you'd prefer not to hear notification sounds at all, you can turn off the "Play Notification Audio" setting. * The icons used in the Item Ability settings now use your selected UI theme. * Fixed an issue that could cause the keyboard UI to get stuck open. * Fixed an issue that caused extra buttons to appear under the Avatar preview, when viewing a list of avatars in the Shop tab. * In the Quick Menu, users' Mic Level now displays "0%" while they're muted. * Fixed a bug that prevented links from showing up on notifications. * Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause travel to fail, leaving the user stuck until a client restart. * Fixed an issue that sometimes caused User Icons to not update when Shield settings are changed. * Fixed a bug where removing a VRChat friend who was also a Discord friend would remove them from the Discord section of the Friends list as well. * Updated the design of user cells in the Friends and Groups wings. * World category buttons no longer have clickable/hoverable regions extending above them to steal focus from the other buttons. * Shiny/metallic materials now render correctly in the Avatar Accessories editor. * Greatly improved the reliability of `VRCObjectSync`, specifically around ensuring that the final state after motion is the same between all players in an instance. * Déjà vu? We had that one in 2026.2.3, but needed to revert it for internal reasons. This release brings it back! * Fixed loading screen preview inconsistencies. * Slightly improved instance loading speed. * Performance and memory optimizations. ## Android Mobile * Event Calendar: Fixed an issue that caused certain regions to display the calendar incorrectly when the week in that region does not start on a Sunday. * Removed "Interactive Object Tooltip" setting from mobile, as this setting did not affect mobile platforms. * The app now handles very large group icons and banners more gracefully. * Localization changes.
