Stuck on Joining?

Help!

So I’ve been able to go through the many worlds of VRChat until a couple of days ago. I decided to hop on one day, it logged me in as usual, but when it was loading the Home World I was in, it just stopped on the “Joining” screen.

And I waited in there too for a minute or four, nothing seemed to change, just me in the blue void with the word “Joining” staring me down.

As for system, I’m on a Oculus Standalone 2. I hope to know if anyone has a solution to this problem so I can continue hanging out with my friends in this game. Thank you!

It seems like the issue you’re experiencing could be related to your internet connection or possibly a server-side problem with VRChat. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to try and resolve the issue:

1. Check Your Internet Connection:

  • Make sure your internet connection is stable, as interruptions can sometimes cause the game to freeze on the “Joining” screen.
  • Restart your router or try switching to a different network to see if the issue persists.

2. Try a Different Home World:

  • If the problem seems to be specific to your Home World, try setting a different public world as your default Home World and check if the issue is resolved.

3. Check for Server-Side Issues:

  • VRChat can occasionally experience server disruptions, particularly during times of high traffic or scheduled maintenance. You can visit the VRChat Status Page to verify if there are any ongoing issues affecting connectivity.

4. Restart Your Oculus Quest 2 and VRChat:

  • Power off your Oculus Quest 2 completely (hold the power button to shut it down, not just restart), and then turn it back on. This can help clear up minor glitches or connection issues and reconnect you to the game.

5. Clear the VRChat Cache:

  • Clear your VRChat cache in the app’s settings.
    This can help resolve any issues caused by outdated or corrupted files.

6. Reinstall VRChat:

  • If none of the above steps work, try uninstalling and reinstalling VRChat. This will remove any corrupted files and give you a fresh installation.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, you can reach out to VRChat Support at (https://vrch.at/support), or join the official VRChat Discord server at discord.gg/vrchat for additional assistance.
