Your connection to VRChat was interrupted. Verify connection and try again

As soon as I push start VRChat I continously receive:
“Your connection to VRChat was interrupted. Verify connection and try again.”
This happens in Desktop as well as Steam Link mode.
It further more happens with WiFi as well as cable connection to router.

Enviroment: Windows 11 24H2 and Occulus Quest 2 with SteamVR connection.

Steps taken to resolve:

  • verified game files: SteamVR, VRChat
  • reinstalled VRChat (with including deleting entire VRChat folder after Steam uninstallation process)
  • deleting all the data possibilities under “Debug” in VRChat
  • updated every possible driver with Gigabyte Control Center
  • ran a Windows file scan to fix: sfc /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  • ran the repair command on EasyAntiCheat

Since none of this worked, here is output of event viewer:

File System Filter ‘EasyAntiCheat_EOSSys’ (Version 6.1, ‎2024‎-‎11‎-‎27T06:19:31.000000000Z) does not support bypass IO.

Supported features: 0x4.

I have a working internet connection. Everything except VRChat uses it.
Anything I can do?

Thank you for posting the details!
