VRCX 2024.12.03

FAQ

• My Friend number is not longer accurate, VRChat is undergoing a staged rollout updating their back-end, this means everyone won't be impacted by this change at the same time, once VRChat have completed this rollout VRCX will be updated to recover friend numbers from a local backup it automatically created last VRCX release, more info.
  • TLDR: It'll be fixed in next VRCX release for a lucky random selection of people.
• VRCX crashes when opening or closing VRChat, enable this option Settings -> General -> Disable VR Overlay GPU Acceleration.
• VRCX main window looks glitchy, enable this option Settings -> General -> Disable GPU Acceleration.

Additions

• Add option in Settings -> Advanced -> Save Instance Stickers To File works same as above, also requires VRC open beta (#985).
