Subject: VRChat Crashing – Log Analysis and Patterns Crashing
Hi VRChat Team, I’m experiencing sudden VRChat closures, and after testing, I’ve ruled out hardware stress (CPU, RAM, and GPU temps are normal). I cleared cache, reinstalled, and updated drivers, but the issue persists. I’ve checked recent logs, and I see patterns: Missing resource references (like Atlas and UI images) appear frequently. An API request sometimes fails (though not always before a crash). No obvious fatal error, but occasional “Object reference not set” warnings. Crashes happen in multiple worlds, even simpler ones. I’ve tested with default avatars too. I have a strong suspicion the crashes may be related to video players. I know there’s an ongoing issue with YouTube or media players in some worlds. In worlds without video players, I rarely experience crashes. However, in worlds that do have video players, crashing seems more frequent. This pattern might be coincidence, but I thought it worth flagging in case video-related issues are known. Sometimes I can play for five minutes before a crash, other times I instantly crash upon entering a world, and occasionally I can play up to 30 minutes. It’s not even a typical crash. The entire game freezes or everything stops moving, and then it instantly closes, returning me straight to the Steam home with no error message. Any suggestions on deeper troubleshooting or known issues that align with these patterns?
