VRCX 2024.12.03

FAQ

• My Friend number is not longer accurate, VRChat is undergoing a staged rollout updating their back-end, this means everyone won't be impacted by this change at the same time, once VRChat have completed this rollout VRCX will be updated to recover friend numbers from a local backup it automatically created last VRCX release, more info.
  • TLDR: It'll be fixed in next VRCX release for a lucky random selection of people.
