Launch Error - VRChat

I haven’t played for a few months now.
Today VRChat won’t even launch for me. I’ve tried to re-install but the problem persist.

It keeps asking to unload somethingsomething.sys (it’s always change).

I think it’s something related with EAC, saw some people experience this with games using EAC like Fortnite.

Have anyone experience this? Any help appreciated. Thanks

You’ll have to uninstall or update whatever vulnerable (CVE-2019-18845) RGB lights software you may have on your computer, and possibly restart your computer after. ASUS AURA RGB software from ASUS Armoury Crate also uses this driver.

I don’t have Aura RGB. I uninstalled Asus Polychrome RGB and got this instead

AsrDrv104.sys is another vulnerable (CVE-2020-15368) RGB software driver from ASRock.

You’ll need to uninstall or update that RGB software too, and reboot without the driver loaded. Apparently it’s used by ASRock Polychrome RGB.

I got that after I uninstall Polychrome and reboot :sweat_smile:

I don’t have an affected motherboard, so I can advise the following.

Try updating your motherboard’s UEFI BIOS firmware and chipset drivers, if that doesn’t resolve it then delete the affected RGB driver using Device Manager (Win+R for Run → devmgmt.msc) if found.

The following commands may also remove the affected drivers:

pnputil /delete-driver msio64.sys
pnputil /delete-driver Mslo64.sys
pnputil /delete-driver AsrDrv104.sys

You may be able to find the affected drivers in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ or in a subdirectory of C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\.

As a last resort, Sysinternals Autoruns should tell you in the driver tab where the driver may be loaded.

regedit may also have HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AsrDrv104 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MsIo64 keys, but it may be better to use something like Revo Uninstaller to delete these.

It’s better to shoot in the dark than something in the dark to shoot you.
