Paste one of the codes into your games Launch Options by right-clicking the game in steam if you use steam to launch it.

It's happening to me as well. I believe it's the servers themselves. Just check back later.

Yup, same here. As soon as I log in, I get a black screen and it stays there, forcing me to exit VRChat. Will have to try again some other time.

Having this issue as well. I thought it was my VR Headset. I followed another tip that said to open up Display settings and change resolution to 1600 x 900, clear your VR Chat Game Cache, then restart. It's still not working.

Same issue here. Apparently it might be a server issue.

Has anyone figured it out yet? I keep getting a black screen also. :(

I thought I was the only one dealing with the random black screen too.

Nope, still haven't figured it out. Can you guys try doing this and let me know if it works? I saw it in another thread:
-Go to Display settings and change resolution to 1600x900
-Hit Run, go to AppData, go to LocalLow, go to the vrchat folder, delete it(deletes your game cache)
-Restart Computer
-Try to load in

I have done this procedure and it still hasn't worked, so I am thinking it really is the server.
