A "non-neutral point of view" refers to a perspective or stance that shows bias, partiality, or favoritism toward a particular viewpoint, idea, or group.

This approach emphasizes subjective opinions, personal beliefs, or specific agendas, rather than striving for objectivity or impartiality. In contrast to a neutral point of view, it may advocate for or against certain positions, often leading to unbalanced or one-sided representations.

Consider editing this page.

Common Issues

VRCX wont open or opens to a white screen

This can be caused by a many different things here's a list of things to try:

  • Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2019.
  • Reboot your computer, maybe another process is trying to read the database file.
  • Disable antivirus software, Avast and AVG are known to delete Cef/VRCX.
  • Remove AVerMedia AssistCentral this is known to cause problems with VRCX for some unknown reason.
  • Run VRCX as administrator, this can fix it on some rare occasions.
  • Test a fresh database, first close VRCX then backup your current database by opening %AppData% and renaming the VRCX folder to something like VRCX.Backup, if this solves it but you'd like to still keep your data follow the steps bellow on how to repair your database.

VRCX running slow

  • Settings > Appearance > Max Table Size
  • Lower this value to something like 100 this will decrease the amount of table entries *Settings > Advanced > Auto Clear Cache
  • Lower this interval to something like 3 hours this will decrease the amount of unnecessary worlds, users and avatars stored in RAM.

SteamVR Overlay not working
