VRChat capped internet?

[nyannokonekko]

I have a 160mb/s internet connection but VRChat absolutely refuses to use more than 1.5mb/s, any idea ***WHY?***
It happened a few months ago, went from loading worlds almost instantly to waiting several minutes for both the world and my model to download.

You may want to check if your ISP throttles traffic coming from Amazon servers, as that is where VRChat content is hosted. It's very common for ISPs to throttle specific services (such as Amazon cloud services) during peak hours. If this is the issue, a way around this is to use a VPN, as then the ISP cannot tell the traffic is from Amazon, and will download at a non-throttled speed, minus the overhead of the VPN of course.

Hope that helps somewhat!

It makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately when I use a VPN I don't get internet

Sorry to necropost, but I'm desperate for a solution. Did you ever get this fixed? It happened to me the same time it happened to you and I still can't fix it

No its not fixed, and I feel your pain. I mainly just stick to worlds that are less than 50mb's.
Maybe the post above may help, but I wouldn't know since I cannot test it. xD

Ahh dang. Well thanks anyway :)

if you had ipv6 and lost it it can make your download act like this, the problem is if you have no idea what i just said then you probably dont know if you had it before. only thing i can suggest in that case is to try disabling ipv6 in both your router and in windows (google can help you there, and of course, put things back the way they where before if that doesnt work)

Isn't IPv6 important to online connections..?

I'm having the same problem, the maps have always loaded fast, but for a while now they've been loading at maximum 2mb/s. Already tested with VPN, continued the same thing.

not all isp's support it natively, i regularely "loose" it because my isp is ran by idiots that dont grasp the need to reissue the v6 available packet (i cant remember the exact correct name) so when i "loose" it usually from a power blip on there plant i end up restarting my entire network (modem, router, switch) in the mean time because i HAD it every thing slows to a crawl as v6 is still tried FIRST before falling back to v4, thus why vrc acts like this when i loose v6

I tested the game on my other computer on the same internet, it worked fine. The problem only occurs on one pc. I've tried resetting the network in this pc, but it didn't work. Anyone managed to solve this problem?

I unfortunately have not, and am suffering with the same issues as you :(

I actually did, but I don't think you'll like the solution. I factory reset my PC and kept my files for an unrelated reason and decided I'd try VRchat after and it started working again. Download speeds are back to normal for me and have been for months since I originally reset it.

Even though I have all my files backed up, I don't particularly wanna wait 7+ hours while 4+TB's of files transfer back over to my pc

Yeah see, I noticed it too.
I use VPN and the game refuses to use enough of my internet speed. Even at all...and I get like 200+mbps in speed tests

I fixed my issue, some kind soul posted a tutorial on reddit and it work perfectly fine now for me here it is :

open cmd by right clicking on it and select open as administrator

enter the below command

netsh interface tcp show global

look at line 2 "Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level" if it says disabled you need to turn it on

enter the below

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
