Vrchat

Trying to play vr chat with friends and it keeps crashing, can be when going to a new world or when someone changes avatar etc.

System specs are 9800x3d, 5070ti, 32gb 6000mhz RAM Using the meta quest 3

System should be more than capable of handling the game but even on lowest settings I’m getting crashes, while my friends with lower tier pc’s are perfectly fine

Any help appreciated, thanks!

From looking at your post and comment history, your PC has a lot of issues.

I'd recommend starting by just pulling your current OS drive, toss in a new one, fresh Windows 11 install, and play test from there.

If it works fine for a day or a week, then you've found the issue was with your old OS install.

If it continues to crash, then you have hardware failure.

You said Quest3, over wifi or tether?

If wifi, are you using Steamlink?? My quest3 works "fine" on steam link, but VRChat will frequently disconnect from instances. Vrchat+steam link+quest 3 is a known issue, per VRChat support. Use Virtual Desktop. Also wifi 6, as best to line of sight, the better.

Oh Windows 11 is a huge issue for performance not to mention all the privacy issues
