Dear Community,
This patch has ongoing server and security updates which should improve the overall experience for everyone in VRChat. We've also fixed some bugs and updated a few systems to improve usability. In addition, we've begun to lay the groundwork for future features and systems now in progress. We care about our awesome community and want to thank everyone for their help and patience. We look forward to some very exciting things coming soon.

RELEASE NOTES
- Eye simulation works again!
- Audio bug progress. Should be less frequent but if you encounter it please send us video or steps to reproduce.
- Fixed issue where certain pickups only could be picked up by master.
- Fixed issue where static portals didn't take users to the same instance.
- Local testing has been fixed (requires new SDK, which can be dowloaded after logged in from https://vrchat.com/download/sdk).
- Fixed issue where objects deleted caused performance drop.
- In the world details we now show 20 automatically selected instances of a world that are sorted to be more meaningful to users, instead of all instances of that world.
- Fixed bugs and updated the automatic instance selection where users were loading into an empty hub or other worlds.
- Fixed bug that caused you to not be able to invite people whom where in a private instance
Automatic instance selection is used in the following cases:
- when joining the HUB (or any room) on launch
- used to select the instance that appears in the upper left on the worlds menu
- used to pick the instance that a dynamic portal goes to
- used to pick the instance that a static portal goes to when someone walks through it
And finally...
Due to security updates, you can no longer request invite from people in private instance. In the last patch for various reasons we deliberately and temporarily enabled a user to request an invite from anyone in an invite only instance. However, that meant invite only instances weren't truly controlled by the author/owner. We are aware that might be slightly confusing or frustrating. Going forward some systems, including instances and notifications, will be getting updates to improve VRChat travel and flow.
