Changelog
- Added Cache Management category to Main Menu Settings
- Content, Image, and Video caching is now located here
- Added Damage Number function to Object health components and in the runtime gizmos for damage Raycasters
- Added Default Max Resolution and Default Audio Only Mode options for video players
- Only affects newly loaded players (world join/prop spawn)
- Added download progress on scrubbing bar (uses the buffer indicator)
- Added expected pause logic to resolve livestreams pausing after playback starts
- This bug appears to be an upstream issue with AvPro/Windows Media Foundation
- Added game server compatibility check system
- The client will now prevent and tell you why you cannot join an instance with breaking network differences from the client you are running
- this may or may not be related to a certain update to a certain game server
- Added long video length confirmation for hour plus videos and a hard max of 10 hours
- The larger a video the longer the download and higher the storage usage
- Added Low Latency Mode Streaming toggle for video player in Implementation
- Enabled AvPro Resampler and disable Low Latency mode when livestream is detected
- Added RTMP protocol to pass through in SetUrl (doesn't try to use YTDLP)
- These two changes above, plus the removal of auto recovery, drastically increase the functionality of livestreams. Not perfect, but alot better!
- Added thumbnail display while downloading video
- Added video and metadata caching for Youtube videos
- Subsequent plays of a cached video will be faster as they won't require download
- Cache is cleared on game start or when they reach the configurable max
- Automatically downloads/updates the required FFMpeg executable for YTDLP
- Improved Badge Management:
- Added a Hide/Unhide button to badges, allowing you to prevent/allow others to see the badge
- Added an Unfeature button to badges, allowing you to remove your featured badge if you prefer to leave it empty
- Combined the CVRAvatarPickupMarker and SpawnablePickupMarker components into a new CVRContentPlacard component:
- The UI has been redesigned to better display the content image and publication status. It is also now responsive to whether the content is available to you (for spawning/wearing) or if the content does not exist or is unavailable.
- The new component is also capable of displaying Worlds, Groups, and Profiles on the card, with exposed events to recycle a card at runtime.
- The old components still work as they have, but you can switch to the new combined component to take advantage of the new functionality.
- Reworked YTDLP for Youtube links
- Videos are now downloaded before playback as they must be combined before they can play
- This should be more reliable in the long run as we're relying more on the YTDLP defaults
- Default all playback in AvPro to not low latency and have resampler enabled for buffering
- Fix codec filters used by YTDLP
- This fixes quality settings for various sites like Twitch, also allows audio only on Twitch and others
- Fixed 100MB option for Avatar Max Size / Prop Max Size visually becoming undefined on game restart
- Fixed API requests which timeout after 30 seconds throwing internally
- This addresses an issue where authentication request timeout soft locked you for example
- Fixed calling refresh categories and content endpoints when not needed
- Fixed color banding in self portrait output
- Fixed CVRMainQM tab change not informing C# side and losing track of pages
- Fixed CycleButton not creating buttons properly, oops
- Fixed issue where a legacy hack would interfere with Group Moderator unblocking
- Fixed minor menu issues:
- The refresh button in the discover tab is now disabled until selecting a category
- Fixed an issue where switching discover categories quickly could break details buttons
- Fixed nameplates rendering position being incorrect in legacy worlds and mirrors
- They were billboarding differently in each eye 😠
- Fixed page open/close handling not being consistent across tab/navigation/menu state changes
- Fixed sitting in a chair not immediately signaling state change for immobilize
- This was causing the player capsule to collide with the chair you sat in for one frame
- Fixed TTS selection getting cleared if the currently selection is temporarily missing
- Fixed videoplayers not showing the watching button on initial load of the videoplayer
- Fix error when opening video player settings panel
- Fix offline/local testing instance video playback
- Improvements to ChatBox:
- User ChatBox messages sent within falloff range will now display on the HUD
- You can configure the preferred place for user messages to appear in ChatBox settings (Bubble & HUD, Bubble Only, HUD Only)
- Mod and OSC messages will always display in a ChatBox bubble
- Lowered ChatBox ping sound to 75% of its original volume
- Internal cleanup of the CVRGlobalMaterialPropertyUpdater to make it more efficient
- There should be no behaviour changes, but if you encounter any issue let us know!
- Internal refactoring to asset filtering:
- Animated material swaps no longer bypass shader filtering
- This applies to the custom shader content filter and nonspi shader filtering
- Render texture instancing now applies to animated material swaps
- Blocked/hidden props no longer needlessly run filtering logic before aborting content load
- Fixed allocation hotspot when filtering animation events
- Animated material swaps no longer bypass shader filtering
- Made the internals of CVRMaterialDriver more performant and fixed another allocation hotspot
- Moved all YTDLP resolution to newer setup
- Moved video player hardware decode to Implementation Video Player category
- Moved Video Player settings to Implementation settings category
- oh my god I touched too much video player nonsense please help me
- Only download video if there is multiple formats in the target video
- Pass livestreams through newer YTDLP setup, you now get thumbnails while it starts up!
- Removed AvPro auto recovery as it was causing streams to restart when unneeded
- This in general I don't think is needed, it just forces the player to completely restart when it's struggling to keep up which probably just makes that worse
- Removed "this cannot continue" placeholder
- It could not continue...
- Fixes for several Prop-related systems:
- Fixed null subsync transforms preventing props from registering with the prop distance hiding system.
- Fixed the prop list accumulating duplicate subscriptions to prop state change events, which could eventually cause a long hitch when opening the Quick Menu. The severity depended on how many events accumulated in the cohtml trigger queue, with the queue growing faster the more times the subscriptions were duplicated.
- Fixed an issue where the object loader could drop a prop bundle if its loading task was canceled after the bundle finished loading but before the loaded object was registered.
- The impact depended on the Unity version used to build the bundle:
- For Unity 2019 bundles, this could prevent all Unity 2019 prop bundles from loading for the remainder of the session because they share the same bundle name.
- For modern bundles, this only affected loading of the specific prop for the rest of the session.
- The impact depended on the Unity version used to build the bundle:
- Fixed minor issues with UI SFX:
- Fixed Camera indicator shutter audio source falloff being global
- Fixed ChatBox audio source having doppler enabled
- Updated libVLC engine (17/06/2026)
- Updated Prop List to use new loading placeholder
- Updated to AvPro v3.4.1
- Updated to VLC-Unity 2026.3
