Eye Tracking Is Gone

Dark times have come upon VRChat, as it turns out everyone's eyes stopped working due to a recent VRChat update that suddenly disabled everyone’s eye tracking for the time being until the next patch.

It seems eye tracking gave users ability to send malicious data to other clients, so when the devs heard about it, they had to shut down the feature. The user who reported this issue, according to our source, was G1fan who is currently banned on the official VRChat Discord server for “speaking out” regarding the “Veteran” rank in the past.

While VRChat is working on a new update, some people decided to animate eyes on their own, such as MissStabby who managed to make her custom shader with simulated eye tracking in the Amplify Shader Editor, although, as she mentioned, same effect can be achieved with other editors as well.
