Updating the VRChat SDK

Updating the VRChat SDK

  1. Please ensure you're using Unity 2017.4.15f1. Download the latest version here: https://vrchat.com/download/sdk
  2. Close Unity.
  3. Find your Project folder with Windows Explorer, and find the Assets folder.
  4. Delete the VRCSDK folder, as well as the VRCSDK.meta file in the Assets folder.
  5. Go into Plugins, and delete the VRCSDK folder, as well as the VRCSDK.meta file in the Plugins folder.
  6. Relaunch Unity, and then re-import the freshly-downloaded SDK. Do so by going to Assets, then Import Package, then Custom Package.
  7. Select the new SDK (you probably saved it in Downloads)
  8. Wait a moment, and click "Import" in the bottom left. If any files in the list are greyed out/unchecked, and you can't check them, you didn't delete everything you should have! Start over.
  9. Wait a minute as the SDK finishes importing.
  10. Restart Unity.

Under no circumstances should you import a new SDK over an old one, or should you use an old SDK to try to work around issues. Doing either of these will cause major problems.
