I don’t know who thought of designing the new user interface, but if I’m gonna be honest, I actually hate it. They literally made it harder to view VRC+ profile pictures since they made the profile pictures more wider than usual with an addition to the icon (I mean, kinda makes sense having the icon), and they literally made the View Profile section look like Discord. Plus, I do not see avatar profile pictures at all either. Personally, I see this as a way of VRChat trying to make users pay for VRChat+ so you can set a custom profile picture. If a user doesn’t have VRChat+, you should see the profile picture to an avatar. Not just a static estimated color. Plus, apparently, you can auto select users by right clicking on the mouse, which I also hate because you can accidentally open your menu when clicking on something by accident. Please give us a way to revert back or just revert the user interface back to how it was when I started using VRChat. I was more comfortable using it that way.

While this thread is still fine everyone should mirror their feedback over on the Canny: [1878] Improve user profile layout [Redesign concept] | Voters | VRChat

It’s not possible to download older unity-6 or open-beta manifests, but it’s possible to revert to older default main branch versions with the old UI.

From the Steam Console (steam://nav/console):

  • download_depot 483100 438101 9086569173265135051 will download VRChat 2026.2.3p2 - July 8, 2026 - Build 1866 for Windows.
  • download_depot 438100 438101 905545213110036892 will download VRChat 2026.2.3p3 - July 14, 2026 - Build 1867 for Windows.

In my case, the files will be downloaded to the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\content\app_438100\depot_438101 directory where I can use start_protected_game.exe or launch.exe to launch the old versions and connect to live.

That’s true, but won’t the ui eventually get updated over there as well? I don’t mind getting used to new user interfaces or whatnot, but I don’t like how it is.

The UI is client-side. You can keep using old versions for now, barring any network compatibility issues or EasyAntiCheat launch failure alerts that will become evident later.

To be honest with you the new ui just made navigation so complicated now who ever approves this needs to look what went wrong

Honestly, true. I had to revert back to the stable release as the user interface was annoying me. But I’m gonna hate it even more if they actually roll out the new ui.
