Excuse the quality of video - the lag you see adds to the authentic experience that I was experiencing at the time. With fluctuating numbers of 60 - 70 people in a world intended for, at max, 45, I'm sure just about everybody was feeling it. Had to have my security settings on max the entire time for any sense of stability. But hey, for what its worth, the VRChat rendition of Times Square was beautifully picturesque and scenic with an interesting cadre of users populating the world. I certainly had a good time...while it lasted.
About 15 minutes before the ball drop, a wicked lag spike hit and VRChat was chugging bricks. Friends icon and world thumbnails were coming up as "Image Not Found", but, I kinda wish I just stuck it out. So I had the bright idea of rejoining the world - big mistake. That crashed my connection to the game, along with thousands upon thousands of other users at roughly the same time. So, pretty much spent the next hour in a discord webcam call with a bunch of other furries until the call came that VRChat was back up, and we all came right back.
2020 was a bit of a shit-show, but we can hope 2021 will be a step up, right? Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. A quick disclaimer for what you might see in the video? The screen-cap of VRChat Plus is pure satire from someone on Twitter. Either way, hope you enjoy the video.
Happy New Years, 2020. You survived the year. Now prepare your anus for 2021.
