VRchat causes PC to crash when starting the game up

Title says it all. I've reinstalled the game, oculus software, verified file integrity, reset my default avatar, tried the steam version, tried the oculus version, tried desktop mode, tried VR mode and almost everything else in-between. Sometimes it's an instant crash sometimes i can see a loading screen and the game itself just crashes. This seems to be a recent thing as the as the game was fine about a month ago when i last launched it and it only seems to be VRchat as all my other VR games start fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I don't have any idea as to what's going on, as I've been getting the same issue. I got a new PC recently with AMD Radeon Adrenalin as well as a vid card among other things, and while I'm not sure if that's part of the issue, it only started doing it after that. Never had issues with my older comp.

I had a similar issue a few months ago when I reinstalled windows and installing the latest drivers through geforce fixed it for me. If not that, check if controlled folder access is enabled and if it's messing with it somehow. The only other thing I could think of would be manually clearing your vrchat cache under %appdata% in case it wasn't for some reason.
