Crash Fix for anyone with the malicious crashing avatar problem.

[Zero Ryoko]

You have two options, either change your avatar on the VRchat website (this may require you to merge your Steam VRchat account and create a combined official one), or run the game in desktop mode while pressing "ctrl + \" several times to reset your avatar to the default one. Clearing your Cache manually may give you more time as the game will have to re-download the problematic avatar you currently have that's crashing you.

This is caused by a exploit in the game and can reoccur should you run into someone using this method again. (apparently "laughing" sounds play, SAO laughing coffin reference?)

This one for sure works, just follow the instructions.
