Whenever I launch VRChat, I just get this infinite loading screen. It signs me in, like normal, and then it goes to this blank screen, (image attached). It keeps playing the loading music, and then every now and then I hear the error sound. Help GREATLY appreciated.
Press your Windows key and type “cmd” into your Windows Search bar. Right click “Command Prompt” and click “Run as Administrator”. After accepting the UAC prompt, a black command prompt window should pop up. Copy this command with Ctrl-C, and paste it into the window by right-clicking in the window.
rmdir /S /Q "%AppData%\..\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat\Cookies" 2>nul & rmdir /S /Q "%AppData%\..\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat\HTTPCache" 2>nul & rmdir /S /Q "%AppData%\..\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat\Unity" 2>nul & rmdir /S /Q "%AppData%\..\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat\VRCHTTPCache" 2>nul & rmdir /S /Q "%TEMP%\VRChat" 2>nul & rmdir /S /Q "%UserProfile%\.cache\youtube-dl" 2>nul & REG DELETE HKCU\Software\VRChat\vrchat /va
Press Enter. A bunch of files will show as being deleted. It will then ask you if you want to delete all keys under the VRChat key. Press Y for Yes, and press enter.
This worked for me so hope this helps

Had this identical scenario, was pulling my hair out, because it happened to me no matter what machine I tried from. I could log into anything VRChat related, the website, the SDK from within Unity, everything, EXCEPT VRChat itself.
Finally dropped VRC tech support an email detailing the issue, and my logs, and just as I thought, the issue was indeed on their end, not mine. They did one thing, and told me to try again, and bam, I got right on.
i Think im having this problem, i did the same thing the person above me did just a couple of seconds ago, probably with less information though, and i tried the command thing but that didnt seem to do anything
uninstall all visual c+ and install this one https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

The redistributable worked wonders and fixed this exact issue for me, thank you so much!
holy cow, thank you.
Thank you so much, i’ve been struggling with ts for 3 days
Yeah so i tried all the ways and I’m still stuck with a blue screen.. and help guys?
After a lot of troubleshooting, the culprit turned out to be completely unrelated to VRChat itself.
What was happening: VRChat would log in successfully but hang forever on the blue loading screen. The game was actually working fine — it authenticated, connected to websockets, and found a home world to load. But it was silently waiting for Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) to finish authenticating through Epic Online Services, which never happened because the connection was being blocked.
How to diagnose it: Check your output log (found at C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat\) and search for lines containing api.epicgames.dev. If you see repeated lines like:
HTTP request timed out after 30.00 seconds URL=https://api.epicgames.dev/...
connect to 104.18.125.108 port 443 failed: Timed out
EOS Login Failed. ResultCode: 1
then EAC cannot reach Epic’s servers and this is your issue.
What caused it in my case: A TP-Link HomeShield parental controls profile (managed through the phone app, not the router admin page) was blocking Epic Games domains at the network level. This doesn’t show up anywhere in the router’s web interface, which is why it’s easy to miss.
The fix: Have whoever manages your network open the TP-Link Tether or Deco app → HomeShield → Parental Controls → find your device’s profile → and whitelist the following domains:
-
epicgames.com -
epicgames.dev -
api.epicgames.dev
Things this is NOT: A corrupted install, a cache issue, a Visual C++ problem, a Windows Firewall issue, or anything wrong with VRChat itself. If you’ve already tried reinstalling, clearing cache, and deleting registry entries with no luck, check your network filtering before anything else.
Hope this helps someone!

when I used an old router without the UPnP option, I am on a blue screen with bubbles infinite after logging in. After i have a new router and enabling the UPnP option, I was able to log in and play VRChat.
who ever u are ur a saint.
