Question

Vrchat crashing saying I have no memory when I have plenty.

My vrchat has been crashing a lot recently saying I have no memory for the game when I have over 200GB free of storage. I've restarted the headset fully, cleared all cache in the game and nothing has worked, I really don't wanna have to factory reset it just yet incase there is another way I can fix it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Can't seem to find a fix, It seems to be an oculus update error. From time to time I will get a notification that some app I'm not using is not responding, I have 210gb of storage left and a factory reset didn't work. I think it's an error in the latest update to the headset but I'm not sure.

It's important to realise that memory and storage are two separate things. Something in a recent update is using more system memory than it should, leaving not enough for some memory-hungry apps. The amount of storage you have on your headset is irrelevant. It's one for Meta to fix when they are good and ready.

Hey there! Just checking in to see if this issue continues as this is not the experience we want you to have with us. I would highly recommend submitting a bug report for VR chat and seeing if other apps or games provide the same issue.

Gotcha. Do you happen to be in the newest version on the headset?

My VR chat legitimately stopped working every time I try to turn it on it freezes me into place and crashes the game and then I get a notification saying I have not enough memory I don't know what to do I'm really worried I'll never be able to play my favorite game ever again has there been a solution yet

The solution is to play the PCVR version of VRChat on a PC instead of using the standalone Quest version.

Edit: I replied to an old post by mistake 😄.

Is there Any fix to this? Because Vrchat Not load unless I pause the game including Horizon Center. I've tried updating. On the latest version I've tried resetting my headset. The only thing I haven't done is factory reset it which I don't wanna do because I'm actually using this from a friend and I don't wanna delete their information. So is there any other fix to this?
