So I’ve Been A Vrchat Plus Member for around 4 years now and im now have this problem where when i try to buy VR Coins I Get Stuck on Processing Transaction And Steam Overlay Never Opens Up I’ve seen this bug before and apparently it’s a vrchat thing and not a steam related bug so maybe this update broke it? im not sure. Can Anyone Help? Thanks
