I think i might be on a crashers list or something

Help!

I’m an avid VRChat user, have been since I got the game back in 2022.

everything was fine for a while, like 2 or so years. But a couple months ago, I was live streaming on twitch when a crasher came into my world and crashed me twice. Ever since that happened, I can play fine for a couple hours until my CPU just spikes to 100% and fully freezes me.

I already have all graphics set to as low as can be, avatar culling enabled, and all of that stuff. Even in private instances I seem to just crash.

I only assume I’m on some list because I never crashed before this.

ya, sure.

i’m running an RTX 2060 with 12GB of VRAM
an AMD Rywen 5 5600G
Windows 11
The game’s installed on an SSD
I tried an alt account for 2 hours with no problems at all
oh and 32GB DDR4 ram

so, i basically just have to upgrade my CPU?

Yeah it’s a bit strange to see your CPU suddenly spiking to 100%, it’s possible your CPU is failing/overheating.

You might be able to buy one secondhand, Christmas just happened so maybe someone is reselling their old CPU, definitely not ideal though.

There is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X for only $123.99 from what I can find, that might be your best bet on a budget. I would definitely say probably a better idea than buying it secondhand.

Do you run other programs with your steamVR for facetracking /fbt etc?
Does task manager say it’s specifically vrchat spiking your cpu?
Have you tried using a different avatar and world on your main account?

yeah, it is specifically VRC, i don’t have any ft or fbt, switching to an alt seems to be just fine, so i really doubt it’s my CPU
