::USW and USE should not be merged it's that specifically for USW the shortcode when creating an instance is "us" not "usw", in it's display it's still USW, initially when reading I assumed it was referring to that particular shortcode not the displayed shorthand, so it was right to reject unless another column were to be added listing the shortcodes for each region.--[[User:VEvQSNOgXh|VEvQSNOgXh]] ([[User talk:VEvQSNOgXh|talk]]) 01:22, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Instance Regions

Is it USE (US East), USW (US West), EU (Europe), JP (Japan)
or
US (USA), EU (Europe), JP (Japan)
in-game it is the former, if there is a source on this pls link it somewhere. Maebbie (talk) 00:35, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I have added references for the Regions update, and the update for 2021.4.2, which includes U.S. East region. I originally thought U.S. East was included in the original Regions update, but I was mistaken. I have gone back to correct this. Thanks for catching this!

It's the former in terms of visible listed shorthand names, however when constructing an instance id it's slightly different, USW is "us", so ~region(us) rather than ~region(usw) which would invalid syntax though may work as USW is the default region. This being the case as USE did not exist until much later. I'm not sure on a source outside myself (I wrote the the regions system) --euan (talk) 00:40, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
To expand on "Historically, VRChat ran solely on the U.S. West server." a little titbit is this wasn't always the case, prior to the beginning of 2018 VRChat ran out of US East. The switch occurred when moving to a beefier setup as the massive surge in users at the time caused the region to fail.--euan (talk) 00:51, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
A source for this is https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/patch-notes-pre-2018#vrchat-0120p10, this would have been the update the switch occurred in--euan (talk) 01:07, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

USW and USE should not be merged it's that specifically for USW the shortcode when creating an instance is "us" not "usw", in it's display it's still USW, initially when reading I assumed it was referring to that particular shortcode not the displayed shorthand, so it was right to reject unless another column were to be added listing the shortcodes for each region.--euan (talk) 01:22, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
