Whenever I try and launch VRchat on my PC, either in desktop or PCVR mode, it signs me in, but after that, I’m stuck on the loading screen with the music and floating bubbles (it works just fine on my Quest). I looked in the output logs, and this is what it came up with

If you are trying to use VRChat normally, please ensure you start VRChat by starting launch.exe. You may need to update your shortcut.’
I tried everything I could find: restarted computer, uninstalled and reinstalled VRChat, uninstalled and reinstalled steam, cleared all caches multiple times, tried running as administrator, tried using the launch.exe executable, uninstalled and reinstalled EAC, uninstalled and reinstalled EOS, and none of it worked.
I have plenty of disk space, and my driver’s are all up to date as well.
I recently had this problem, then it magically fixed itself, it worked for a few days, and now it’s doing it again
Is there anyone that had this problem and fixed it? And if so, how did you do it?
