VRChat Logfile full of Error "XYZ could not use Station at" when in the world

[farfelu]

Describe the bug Whenever I'm a public The Great Pug instance with many people in it the log file gets blasted with the message

2021.11.15 23:27:25 Error      -  [Behaviour] <SomeUser> could not use Station at :<SomeNumber>/

always with different users and numbers.
30 minutes into the world and the message appears 122492 times.

$ cat output_log_21-13-15.txt | grep "could not use Station at :" | wc -l
122492

I asked some people who join me regularly in the instance who also had hundredthousands of those errors in the log.

Additional context It doesn't cause any issues, but might be unintended.
I noticed because I have a log parser running sending me messages through my overlay and it has a visible log output. Whenever I'm in an instance it's just nothing but this error message, I haven't seen any other world do this.

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to report this!

I just pushed an update:

• Removed duplicate Udon Behaviors unexpectedly found on some stations.
• Stations with Udon sync modes set to "none" are now set to "manual"

I assume the duplicate Udon Behaviors were the cause of the issue. I'm not sure why some of the stations ended up with multiple scripts.

I am not the only one running into this issue:

VRChat Feedback / Canny link: https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/p/errorbehavior-xx-could-not-use-station-at-4f

This person thinks it is a client issue. They see it with SDK2 and SDK3.

Another person reporting the same issue, back in September: https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/p/vrcstation-outputs-error-log-in-1132

Based on discussing this with others, this is definitely a bug VRChat introduced. Others have reproduced it in their own testing.

Please help support this feedback item:
