FOV or Perspective Shifting Bug?

Ever since the “Gift Drops VRC+” update for VRChat in December 2024 I’ve had an issue with my Perspective/View when I play. Every time I grab an item or hold something it is extremely close up in my face, like my cameraview is way further ahead than what it should be or my grabbing position is way closer than it should be. I cannot use items or look at stuff properly when holding it when it doesnt even fit at a proper range on my screen, it stops me from even throwing things or aiming properly like in game worlds (I theorize that it’s literally hitting my own hitbox and stopping the throw somehow and the natural aim is off from the true center it’s supposed to be designated for/at). This issue persists to even other aspects like my UI/HUD being way too zoomed in for some reason and no settings changes or adjustments fix it whatsoever (no it is not based on the avatar I was wearing or the height scale, I’ve already checked that).

To describe it is kinda weird in all honesty, like it narrows my vision/perspective but I still see almost the same? It mainly affects my grab position but also stuff like my HUD and UI layouts for VRC and other game worlds.

These show what Im talking about when I say Im grabbing items too close, I am in a game world “Blackout”. The items being held are way too close and actively are unusable due to the location of my grabbing position and my hitbox. Apply that to other worlds, items, games, settings, etc and you see how annoying and frustrating it is for me.

This is what my quickmenu/launchpad looks like now, a bit too close compared to before. (I scaled FOV to max while taking screenshots to show differences but there’s a picture limit for new people so I can’t post those)

This is from a game world called “Prison Escape”
Before and after this issue has started. Both are at standard FOV unedited, only change would be the size of the character which doesnt affect the view perspective.


Note: I have never changed my FOV or edited it before this whole issue so I know that can’t be the cause or issue.

Any clue on how to fix/resolve this?

I dont know if I should be editing or replying but it’s an update nonetheless.
I tried going between the beta version and even trying to force reverse or stall further vrchat updates to see if that would do anything (which it didnt) and nothing has changed whatsoever.

Would appreciate and smart people help to get this fixed tremendously.
