VTube Studio News & Patch Notes

This is just a small patch that addresses two bugs/issues:

When using “Inverted Masks” in your Live2D models while having “Mask Smoothing” active in VTube Studio, this would sometimes lead to random black lines appearing on your models due to an issue in the rendering system. This is now fixed.
VTube Studio was still using old (beta) Twitch event topics for the events sent when Twitch "Power-Ups" are redeemed. This led to longer Twitch login times. This is now fixed.

This update adds ArtMesh/Layer Groups so you can easily modify colors of layers in bulk. It also adds native controller support!!

Features:

New feature: ArtMesh/Layer Groups
- You can now set up groups of layers and use those groups to batch-modify ArtMesh colors of your model more easily instead of having to color them one by one.
- More info: ArtMesh Groups
New feature: Native controller support
- VTS can now directly read connected controllers and use controller parameters as tracking inputs for models.
- Extended support for DualShock 4 and DualSense (incl. Edge) controllers: VTS can read their orientation/tilt and touchpad touch positions (up to 2 fingers) and use that as tracking input or for gesture recognition to trigger hotkeys.
- More info: Controller Input

Changes & Bugfixes:

Bugfix: Fixed issue that prevented some "corrupted" models from being loaded after the last update. These models had duplicated Live2D parameter IDs for some reason, which should not really be possible. These models can now be loaded again, but it is recommended to fix them anyway.

Also comes with a free controller asset by 7M Productions for you to try out and use as reference.

This small patch fixes an issue with the new screenshot system where certain visual effects (like the outline and backlight VFX) would be incorrectly scaled and positioned when using custom screenshot resolutions. The patch also improves how the bloom effect looks when using very high screenshot resolutions. Finally, the patch adds a screenshot button in the Expression Editor. This makes it easier to manually pose your model from there and then take screenshots. If you have any questions, please join our Discord!! Join Discord

There will be multiple updates this week, this is the first one! This update adds an improved implementation of the screenshot system and Expression Editor!

Features:

New screenshot system: arbitrary resolution up to 16k x 16k and better semi-transparent color handling.
New Expression Editor: Much faster load times and added functionality. Mostly features useful for customizable models and Live2D assets.
- Support for "Parameter Folders": Parameter Groups / Parameter Folders set up in the Live2D Cubism Editor are now shown as collapsible folders in the Expression Editor in VTube Studio.
- Parameter customization/localization: Riggers can decide which parameters are shown/hidden by default in the Expression Editor, making customizable models much easier to use. Also, riggers can now provide custom translations for models/assets they sell to make their work more accessible.
- Customization Expressions: You can mark an expression as “Customization Expression”. Expressions marked as such will not be turned off when a “Remove all Expressions” hotkey is used.
- More info: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Expressions-(a.k.a.-Stickers-or-Emotes)#model-customization-expressions

Changes & Bugfixes:

There is now a warning when users mess with the physics settings of their models.
Bugfix: Fixed issue that incorrectly caused "hotkey key combination already taken" warning to be shown.
Bugfix: Fixed issue that stopped some friends from being displayed in the Steam friends list for VNet.
Verified that VTube Studio is fully functional on Windows Arm64 devices. VTube Studio is supported on Windows On Arm under emulation.

This patch contains various bugfixes and improvements.

Memory-management improvements.
- Models should now use significantly less memory when loaded (GPU memory remains unaffected).
Fixed bug in model outline calculation that caused significant lag when:
- Twitch Emote Dropper is active.
- Plugins were used that access the model outline (like T.I.T.S, etc.)
Multiple small performance improvements.
Added warning when old NVIDIA tracker (v1) was used on newer NVIDIA GPUs (this is unfortunately not supported).
Fixed bug in Twitch Emote Dropper where some config values were not saved correctly.

If there are any issues after updating, please report them in the VTube Studio Discord!

This patch mainly fixes the Unity security vulnerability that was disclosed today but also contains some other improvements/fixes.

Fix for CVE-2025-59489, a security vulnerability affecting all Unity-based games. VTube Studio now uses Unity 6000.0.58f2 and is not affected.
Increased maximum VNet model/asset size from 300 to 320 MB to accommodate certain bigger models.
Fix for issue that made VTube Studio freeze intermittently every few seconds/minutes for some users.
Various improvements of per-frame memory usage. Should improve performance especially for larger models.
VTube Studio now automatically makes sure the window cannot be smaller than a certain threshold. This change was made to fix a bug where VTube Studio could become a 1x1 pixel window and crash on startup.
Fixed bug in animation system that caused glitching when using Live2D "inverse step" keyframes in animations.

Finally, this update adds back the manual key selector when setting up hotkeys. You can manually select keys from a list by clicking the pencil button here:

Have you been getting crashes after the last update?

It's most likely because you don't have the most recent "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable" installed. From now on, VTube Studio will automatically install it when updating. But if you are getting crashes right now, please install it manually for now:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 Make sure you get the X64 version from this page.

Here is a direct link to the currently most recent version: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/7ebf5fdb-36dc-4145-b0a0-90d3d5990a61/CC0FF0EB1DC3F5188AE6300FAEF32BF5BEEBA4BDD6E8E445A9184072096B713B/VC_redist.x64.exe After downloading and installing, VTube Studio should work again. Sorry for the inconvenience!! If you still have any crashes after this, please report them on Discord: Join VTS Discord

This patch addresses a crash experienced by some users when opening the app, starting the webcam trackers or when opening the webcam selection list. The crash was caused by multiple faulty virtual webcams added by the "Meta Quest Link" app. VTube Studio now ignores those virtual webcams to prevent the crash. Since this update modifies the webcam trackers, you may have to re-add firewall exceptions for VTube Studio again manually after updating. If you still experience any crashes after this, please reach out immediately in the VTube Studio Discord.

This small patch (1.32.3) fixes some bugs introduced by the previous update, adds one new asset and slightly re-adjusts the watermark coverage.

Fixed a bug where items loaded from item scenes during collabs would mistakenly get attached to your collab guests if their models contained the same ArtMesh IDs as your own model.
Fixed a bug where locked and pinned items would very slowly move upwards.
Adjusted watermark coverage from ~70% to exactly 50% to precisely match the updated Live2D SDK free version license requirements. The initial increase was meant to comply with Live2D's recently updated licensing policy, which now requires at least 50% horizontal coverage (and at least 20% vertical coverage). We overshot a bit to be safe, but based on feedback, we’ve fine-tuned it to match the required amount more closely.

Finally, one more split Live2D model asset by @7MC_Official was added: a cute swim ring (called "Swimming Tube \" in VTube Studio). Didn't quite make it for the initial release, but it's done now!!

More things coming soon!! If you have any questions, please reach out on the VTube Studio Discord: Join VTS Discord (〃＾▽＾〃)

This update adds a lot of changes for Live2D items and the VNet collab feature.

The first big new feature is Split Live2D items!! You can have split Live2D items now with a front and back part, so they're wrapping around the main model and make it look like you're really wearing the item.

Internally this works by splitting the Live2D item at a certain layer into a front/back part and then setting orders within the main model for those parts separately.

VTube Studio comes with a few items that already have this set up so you can play around with them. But, you can also easily set this up for your own Live2D items.

More info: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Between-Layer-Item-Pinning

Isn't that cool!?

Next, you can now pin stuff to other people during collabs or take their items now. This also works with the split Live2D items. Not much else to explain here. People requested this one a lot!

More info: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Multiplayer

Also, there are new expression parameter modes! When you create an expression, you can now select between "overwrite" (standard), "add" and "multiply".

"Add" just adds a static value to that parameter at the end (after tracking) and "Multiply" multiplies the Live2D parameter by the set value. The value can also be negative, so you can do a lot of interesting stuff with it, like having hotkeys that invert the tracking.

Oh and there's mocopi tracking in VTube Studio now!!??! It's a bit crazy to use that in 2D models, but the Sony mocopi team reached out and asked if it could be added. They even made a really pretty example model you can use for free.

For more info on that, check this page: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/mocopi

There's even more stuff:

You can now turn expressions on/off WITHOUT making hotkeys for them.
You can now create expressions and expression hotkeys for items super easily.
You can now set ArtMesh recolors for items directly.
You can set fixed positions for VNet collab participants (who's in front).
VNet collab guest model positions will now be remembered when guests leave and re-join (if you control their positions).
There's now detailed upload/download statistics so you can see how far along VNet model upload/downloads are (can sometimes be useful when models take long to upload).
"Alt" is supported as a hotkey now.
You can now turn on pin notifications that show you exactly which layer in your model items pin to.
You can set items to only pin to one specific layer in your model. Useful to actually get those hats to pin to your head and not some weird hair overlay layer (though that can look pretty funny too).

And then there's some more stuff and a bunch of bugfixes.

Finally, there were some adjustments that had to be made to the watermark in VTube Studio so the app stays compliant with the updated Live2D SDK licensing terms. For more information, please check this Tweet: https://x.com/VTubeStudio/status/1930366944441511953

This update fixes two bugs:

Fixed microphone lag. You should no longer have to restart your mic repeatedly to fix lag issues or sound glitches. Disconnecting/Reconnecting USB microphones should also no longer break the microphone tracking.

Fixed rare issue that would sometimes cause Expressions to fail to be set correctly when activated during one-shot Animation playback. For a full list, see: https://trello.com/c/ogdVIMUD And if you have questions, as always, please ask in the Discord: https://discord.gg/VTubeStudio

Since the updated NVIDIA tracker caused serious issues for some users, the old version is now being added back as a permanent option. It won't be compatible with RTX 50-Series or newer. You can select it like this: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/0221afbf56782596588bd7b4c72c03e7f7d45a80.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/e66c258446e3caf2ec8179ec949414fa2c0351c5.png The updated tracker will be considered "beta" for the time being, until all issues are worked out. If you use the NVIDIA tracker, make sure the DLC is marked as "installed" in Steam. The tracker files are quite large, around 3.2 GB. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/284832e68e50ad1e134f33ce83d6044c01046c04.jpg Sorry again for the messy release. If you have questions, please ask in the Discord: https://discord.gg/VTubeStudio

This patch fixes some issues that were introduced with the last update:

VNet Multiplayer functionality has been fixed.
The Spout2 Background works again now on any GPU.

I am also looking at some issues caused by the new NVIDIA Tracker. These will be addressed by the next patch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This update adds the new version of the NVIDIA RTX Tracker. This version implements the following changes:

Better tracking for eye-related parameters (eye movement and winking in particular).
Better performance, responsiveness and expressiveness in general.
Restores compatibility with new NVIDIA RTX 50-series GPUs.
Finetuning for blendshape calibration. For more info: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/NVIDIA-Webcam-Tracker#finetuning-and-calibration
Can also be used with VBridger with all included blendshapes.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/7c766976a7dc280c797937af5694b8006f609913.gif Also, you can now configure zoom/rotation speed when scrolling and choose between two zoom/rotate settings:

Zoom/Rotate around Live2D model center.
Zoom/Rotate around mouse cursor (NEW).

Zooming towards the mouse cursor should feel more natural, so in a future update that may be set as the default for new users. The zoom/rotation settings can be found here: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/b2c743a875e0d01e8b26aff4fbf6e9c2e41f659e.png The following small changes/bugfixes were also implemented:

Warning popup before deleting parameter mappings and hotkeys to prevent deletion by accident.
VNet: Warning popup when upload fails because file path is too long for at least one file.

This update adds Between-Layer Item Pinning. This new feature lets you pin any VTube Studio item between the layers of your model. Using this, you could add glasses or cat ears that are partially under your hair and much more!! This feature is currently still considered beta and may not work perfectly (for example, syncing via VNet is not yet supported). It will be improved with the full release early next year. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/8d05025fc948b6be2b60443594471a25eb33c820.gif You can open the menu to set this up by long-clicking on any item (click and hold). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/ec88e4cd22796a326be51d607c8e6d5327c010cb.png For more info: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Between-Layer-Item-Pinning Also, a bug was fixed that caused VTube Studio to freeze on some devices when plugins like VBridger tried to inject tracking date. For a full list, see: https://trello.com/c/lnon8AdF And if you have questions, as always, please ask in the Discord: https://discord.gg/VTubeStudio

This update adds Twitch Hotkey Triggers, an easy way to trigger your VTube Studio Hotkeys using Twitch events like subs, follows, redeems, chat commands and more!! For more info: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Twitch-Hotkey-Triggers The following minor changes/improvements were also made:

Warning is now shown before files dragged into VTS window are loaded. This can be turned off.
General Item Settings: Configure how drag & drop is handled and enable/disable file types for drag & drop.
Fixed bug that caused VBridger tracking to buffer/glitch when data is received during model load.
Live2D Editor API is no longer in beta.
Option to remove gear icon entirely from Web Items.
Fixed issue where "tracking lost idle animation" would glitch for non-zero delay times.

This update adds Web-Items to VTube Studio. A Web-Item is essentially a full web browser, available as an item in VTube Studio. They can be moved, rotated and pinned like normal items but display a website that you can interact with. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/a789a658afdeb5e7f260c14ccf58a6f17815eacf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/c17890d48a5975ed0e25dd6f47380cb0fde0ac03.gif Web Items are basically like "OBS Browser Sources", just directly in VTube Studio. You can use them to display and pin pretty much anything you want directly in VTube Studio... donation goal trackers, chat boxes, videos, any other fancy stream widgets... the possibilities are endless!! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39552646/aecc564940c898bb48a93ad1e4f2e1f604e8ba6a.png For more info, check out this page: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Web-Items The following features, bugfixes and improvements were also implemented:

Support for the Live2D Cubism Editor API. This allows VTube Studio to directly send tracking data into the Live2D Cubism Editor. This makes it much easier for model riggers to test physics setups without repeatedly exporting the model.
Added tooltips to some of the main menu options and config options. Tooltip coverage will be expanded in the future to hopefully make the UI a little less confusing.
Fix for issue where VTS watermark would show up even when DLC was purchased.
API: New API for controlling post-processing effects.
Emote-Dropper: Support for renamed emotes.
Many smaller bugfixes.

This update adds a few more VFX, adds back the removed ones (with a warning and they have to be explicitly enabled), increases max. collab participants to 6, adds background hotkeys to macOS and fixes the macOS Sonoma issue.

VNet: Increased max. collab participants to 6
New VFX: Line scan
New VFX: Fake low FPS
New VFX: Fake encoding errors
New VFX: Old film effect
Added back previously removed model glitch effects and added a few more. To use them, you have to manually enable them in the VFX settings found on the effects UI. This will also show a warning.
macOS: Hotkeys now also work when VTube Studio is in the background on macOS.

More info about the effects can be found here: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Visual-Effects The following bugfixes and improvements were also implemented:

VTube Studio now works on macOS Sonoma again.
Fixed an API bug that made authentication fail sometimes.
Fixed bug that made on-screen hotkey 8 not work sometimes.

This update removes the experimental "Glitch" distortion effects, as some people have pointed out this could cause issues with Twitch TOS and VTuber artist/rigger TOS.

This update adds built-in post processing to VTube Studio, including effects such as bloom, backlight, lens-distortion and many more!!! You can create effect presets and switch between them using visual effect hotkeys. It's a lot of fun, please give it a try!! (some examples below) For more info, check out this page: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Visual-Effects Other stuff that was added:

Post-processing (see above)
Spout2 Background, a special background that accepts Spout2 video streams and puts them as background in VTube Studio. Windows only. Be careful not to show any personal info if you use this!!
VNet: File upload/download rate limiting. With this, you can set upload/download speed limits to make sure big/long uploads don’t lag your VNet connection (or in the worst case break it entirely). Useful for users with low-bandwidth internet connections.
WebP "support". When you drag in WebP images (.webp) or put them in the “Items” folder, they are automatically converted to .png so they can be loaded in VTube Studio. WebP HATE!!!!!
API: You can now load arbitrary data as item (JPG/PNG) using the ItemLoadRequest after getting special permissions from the user. Also, you can now use the API to pin items to the model and get notified when the model or items were clicked. For more info, check the API documentation: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio

More info on Spout2 Background can be found here: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Spout2-Background The following bugfixes and improvements were also implemented:

Monthly backup warning. A popup is shown once a month to remind you to backup your models. Seriously, do it.
Fixed bug that made 7TV emotes not work in emote dropper and Twitch chat scroll.
Temporarily force VTube Studio to always start in fullscreen mode on macOS 14.2 because there is currently a macOS bug that makes VTS not register clicks in window mode on that new macOS version.

This patch fixes a bug where plugins (like VBridger) wouldn't be able to properly set/unset the "tracking lost idle animation" anymore after the previous update.

This update implements the following changes:

Updated Live2D SDK to version 5.0. Models exported for Live2D 5.0 will now load properly.
Advanced Lipsync for macOS, Windows, Android and iOS using uLipSync by hecomi.
Added new Twitch functionality: Twitch Chat Scroll, lets Twitch comments fly through VTube Studio.

For more info on how to set up and use the new advanced lipsync and how to use it in your models, see here: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Lipsync The following minor changes/improvements were also made:

Circle-buttons now auto-hide if "show controls" is turned off.
Show warning if multiple hotkeys use the same key combination.
Thai font now renders correctly.
"Tracking lost idle animation" did not play when webcam was turned off. This is now fixed and the animation plays properly.
...and more!!

This update fixes an issue where the webcam tracker would no longer work when there were any non-ascii characters in the VTube Studio path, for example Japanese, Chinese or Korean characters. I apologize for the inconvenience. If there are any issues with this or any future updates, please report them directly in the VTube Studio Discord so things can get fixed as fast as possible. https://discord.gg/VTubeStudio

Temporary patch to fix an issue where VTube Studio webcam tracking would mess with PC audio devices. Proper fix for this is coming later. If you still have the issue (audio not working) after this update, please let me know in the VTube Studio Discord: https://discord.gg/VTubeStudio

This patch fixes an issue where VTube Studio would cause screens to go black for some users on Windows 11.

This update implements the following changes:

New webcam face tracker: Google Mediapipe. Comparable quality to NVIDIA tracker but no special GPU needed and works with hand tracking too. WINDOWS ONLY for now.
Added opacity to Screen/Multiply ArtMesh Color presets. Works with hotkeys as well and is compatible with VNet.
VNet: Auto-retry for all uploads/downloads. If any upload/download fails for models or items, it is now retried until it succeeds. This fixes a bug where sometimes models would not load for collab participants.
VNet: Increased maximum session time limit: One VNet session can now be up to 45 hours before it has to be restarted.
VNet: Increased model file size limits. One model can now be up to 250 MB total (compressed) with a single-file-limit of 95 MB. The maximum file count per model is now 250, increased from 150.
Android/iOS: You can now permanently turn off the “on-screen hotkeys” (white circles) on mobile when no model is loaded. To do that, make sure no model is loaded and check the “hotkeys” settings tab.

For more info on how to set up and use the new Google Mediapipe tracker, see here: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Mediapipe-Webcam-Tracker The following minor changes/improvements were also made:

Android: Fixed bug where models were always rendered solid black on some devices including the Samsung S23.
Re-enabled automatic GPU priority setting since the bug that caused crashes has been fixed.
Models can no longer be loaded when they’re directly in the “Live2DModels” folder. This now shows a warning instead. A model should ALWAYS be in an own subfolder in the “Live2DModels” folder, something like “Live2DModels/MyCoolModel”
...and a few more minor bugfixes.

This update adds the VNet DLC: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2384550/ VNet is VTube Studio's built-in online multiplayer collab system.

Supports 4-people collabs with your Steam friends.
You can use items, Live2D items, and much more...
Everything is automatically synced between collab participants!!
All communication and shared assets are encrypted so people outside the collab will have no access.
It's a lot of fun!!!

Please give it a try with your friends first before purchasing (up to 10 minutes per collab session without the DLC) For more info on how to use VNet, see here: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Multiplayer That page also has all the security details. AND AGAIN, massive thanks to all beta testers!!!!! The following minor changes/improvements were also made:

Bugfix: Updated libdshowcapture to blacklist broken virtual webcams. This should prevent VTS from crashing during loading. Thanks Emiliana for the fix!!
Bugfix: Updated the DLL name for the virtual webcam used by VTS. This is required because OBS will soon start blocking some broken virtual webcam DLLs by name.
Improvement: Auto-hide circle buttons (main menu) after a few seconds when nothing is clicked so people don’t accidentally leave that open during streams.
