🕶️ VRChat Companion Utility v1.2

Built for when VR decides to fight you back.

Example

⚡ Overview

You know the drill.

SteamVR half-starts.
VRChat launches wrong.
VirtualDesktop is fine… until it isn’t.
Discord? Somehow involved.

This tool exists for one reason:

Stop fixing things manually.

One panel. One click. Back in VR.

  • Close Everything

🔧 App Control

  • Restart SteamVR
  • Restart VRChat
  • Restart VirtualDesktop

🚀 Quick Start

1. Download
2. Extract
3. Open in Visual Studio
4. Build
5. Run

Or use the included installer scripts to package it cleanly.

⚙️ Settings

Customize how your VR session behaves.

Startup

  • Auto-start Discord
  • Auto-start VirtualDesktop
  • Auto-start Steam
  • Auto-launch VRChat

Timing

  • Control delays between shutdown/startup
  • Tune for your machine

Paths

  • Override install locations if needed

Tray Behavior

  • Minimize to tray
  • Close to tray

🧾 Logging

Everything gets tracked.

%AppData%\VRChatCompanion\logs\app.log

Use it to:

  • debug issues
  • track behavior
  • figure out what broke

🧪 When Things Break

SteamVR won’t start? → Check Steam is running

VRChat launches wrong? → Use Start VR Session

Discord missing? → Set path in settings

VirtualDesktop not found? → Set Streamer path manually

🧠 Why This Exists

Because VR setups are fragile.

Because timing matters.

Because:

“Just restart everything” isn’t a strategy.

🧩 Future Upgrades

  • Tray quick actions
  • Crash recovery
  • Profiles
  • Creator Companion shortcuts
  • OSC awareness
  • Full installer release

🖤 Final Note

This isn’t flashy.

It’s reliable.

Click once. Fix everything. Get back in.

If your site allows custom CSS, this will give it that dark neon edge:

code, pre {
  background: #0b0b0f;
  color: #d4d4ff;
  border: 1px solid #2a2a40;
}

h1, h2, h3 {
  color: #c084fc;

}
