I can upload Avatars smoothly in Unity 2019, but I completely can’t upload them in 2022. The following is a Unity error message. ArgumentException: Illegal byte sequence encounted in the input.

Stack trace information from the bottom half pointing at specific lines is only useful for unity developers who need to change thier code. For VRChat SDK purposes it’s just nonsense to try and scroll past. Something is going wrong with the conversation betw3n the editor and the VRChat service. Check for other messages? ---

This is caused when all three of these things happen at the same time: - There is a non-english character in your project path - Your system is set to a non-english locale - You are using a project plugin that uses Harmony to patch a method VRCFury will resolve this issue if it’s in your project. Your other alternative is to move your project to a folder path that only contains english characters.
