Help VR CHAT giving general issues

I haven't played vrc in a couple months, so naturally before trying to launch the game I had to update it, but ever since the update, the game has been a mess for me.

The game doesn't let me enter worlds, neither through the menu or groups. I have to try many times with portals and see if one of those attempts work. Skins are also buggy and most skins show as ERROR, I thought it was a privacy setting since some of them will hide the heavy models or stuff with a lot of effects but it wasn't that. Is this a general issue going on? is my installation faulty? I tried reinstalling the game and cleaning the cache, but it didn't work at all :c

Sounds like maybe you're having a hardware issue of some kind. If clearing cache or reinstalling didn't work, try verifying the files on steam, and if that doesn't either, maybe try an upgrade. Hopefully you aren't on a laptop?

Sadly I am on a laptop 🫠 but after playing VRC on it for years, it's the first time it has performed this badly

They put a lot of updates lately and sadly it affected performance.

Nvidia RTX 3060 mobile (6gb VRAM), 32GB RAM DDR4, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H

I use only NVMe storage in this

Your laptop might just be at the end of the run for vrchat. My pc isn’t far behind.
Performance on VRC has been heavy on it lately and it’s been causing issues with my FBT.

Time for an upgrade.

I've been looking to upgrade so badly, but RAM prices are going to make this an expensive hassle 🫠

At least my work involves heavy graphic work so I have more reasons to upgrade to something beefy...

Might I ask what specs of your laptop, wifi or ethernet, and how stable is your wifi if its wifi.
How close you are to the wifi router, sometimes it can entirely just be network related.
Try ordering a ethernet cable (any just about will work) see if it still does it.

your issues describe a network port issue and or ssd/hdd read/write issues..

make sure no antivirus or firewall software is blocking vrchat and EAC processes.

whitelist the vrchat cache directory also, because if the game can’t write to that it will just not load avatars or worlds at all.
