Help!

I was playing on desktop shifting through worlds to find some new ones to take photos in and suddenly my game stopped, and now every time i try to start the game it says "failed to authenicate with real time servers, i click okay on the prompt and it has me log in through vrchat or stream and neither work.

EDIT: changing avatar to default changed things and allowed me to log in
