VRChat crashing is often due to problems with temporary cache data and profile data that the game stores. You can delete this in the game, or directly from your computer.

Why Is VRChat Crashing, And How Do I Fix It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s work through the most common problems that can cause VRChat to crash, and I’ll show you how to fix each one as we go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restart Your Headset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If VRChat has only just started crashing, the first thing to do is to restart your VR headset. If you are using a PC-tethered VR headset, then you should also restart your computer. I’ve had a number of issues with VRChat not working, or glitching badly that have been fixed by a simple restart of my computer and headset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Data Causing VRChat To Crash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While playing VRChat, the game will download quite a lot of data, as well as storing profile and avatar data. This data is a common cause of crashes, so if VRChat was previously working well, but has now started to crash, this may be the cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are able to load VRChat successfully, the first thing you should do is go to the advanced settings menu, where you will be able to clear any downloaded data, profile data, and avatar data.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
