"Build and publish" Button not working

Hi, im trying to build my first character. But when im trying to upload a character, it won’t work. I have tried that with 4 different characters (i havent created them myself) and my latest test was with hte Nardo 3.0 avatar base. Now to the Problem:

I can test the Avatars just fine. But when im trying to Upload it, the first section of the sdk (with the name and all the stuff) gets greyed out. I dont have any errors and dont know what to do anymore

The screenshot is from my latest test. As you see, i was able to enter the name, picture and all the stuff. I was then checking the alerts and then i pressed “Build and Publish”. Only after that it went to greyed out. When i close the SDK window in unity and reopen it, i can enter stuff again but when i want to uploat it, the same thing happens.

Thats what it looks like, when im reopening the SDK window.

check the console tab for any errors? The SDK runs inside the Unity Editor, so any CSHARP issues can break it

sadly there are no errors

so the reason why it didnt work was 1 setting in in windows settings because my pc language is set to german (utf-8) and unity didnt like that.
How i fixxed it (im translating the settings myself, so in windows they will most likely be called different):

Win+r

enter: intl.cpl

go to the second tab on the top an go to the setting for unicode-uncapable programms (for me it was the lower setting)

there you can check a box. THere should be something like “UTF-8” in the text next to it.

For all the germans and the people who want to translate it, there is a screenshot:

I hope, this is helpful

While the issue could be resolved after doing this.., this isn’t the true fix. Usually resetting Unity or even restarting the PC fixes that. Other issues are having incompatible packages installed from the VCC.

Sometimes this just happens at random because Unity is just weird like that.

Also make sure to tag your avatars, Im pretty sure VRC will add a feature that forces you to add tags because of 18+ content gating.
