Specific Issues

My ChatBox keeps getting stuck on the same value occasionally

This is due to your VRChat client lagging and VRChat not taking that into account between when I send ChatBox values. You can increase the ChatBox value in the settings tab by 100-200 milliseconds to compensate for this.

My media time isn't showing

If you're using Spotify, ensure you have the desktop version and not the Windows store version.

Some media sources (like a browser) don't expose the time of the media they're playing, and as such means I cannot get the details.

Parameters being received by VRC in the OSC debug menu, but no matter what I do they won't update on my avatar

Close VRChat. Go to where VRChat is installed and delete the OSC folder. Open VRChat. This will force VRChat to regenerate the OSC config for your avatar.

My HardwareStats usage is different from Task Manager

Task Manager rounds values. The library I use for gathering hardware statistics is more accurate.

My CPU usage is stuck at 0

VRCOSC needs to be ran as administrator to get your CPU usage.

VRCOSC keeps saying it's failing to update

If you're on the latest update this means that it cannot contact GitHub's servers for whatever reason. You can ignore the error. It should stop happening in around an hour.
