    @Myong Cache files (VRCA and VRCW) are now encrypted and require a handshake with the VRChat server to be decrypted on load. As of right now, you can no longer rip or hotswap avatars

    @GordonRamsMe These models were ripped along side a few others on the same day and time and before they apparently encrypted them + most of the other models i attempted to pull from that batch worked but there was just 3-4 that werent working/throwing similar errors to what i linked so i doubt its because of that

        Is there any website to download avatars by ID, or containing vrchat caches? i'm trying to get just a single one avatar, but its being almost impossible.
        i tried SARS, got a key for it just to find out downloading isn't implemented anymore.
        Tried assetripper but... of course that doesn't work anymore. All i managed to do is to get the avatar CAB files using UABEAvalonia. My hopes on inspecting vrchat http requests are gone too, since they use a handshake. I even wondered about looking into ram, since vrchat has to store the avatar decrypted somewhere anyway, but that's not possible on windows.

        I just wanted this single one avatar, and all i have is those CAB files and the ID of it. Can someone please help me or at least team up? then maybe we can find out a way to extract or download it together.

        Looking for someone who can bypass avatar encryption. I just need to get a single avatar. Still have the ID of it.

                  It looks like that up to a certain point, this still works, but I don't know just how far that point is. When I checked my files in a solo there are still things there, and its the two files shown, I just don't know if the deleting aspect of it is gonna mess anything up or not

                    Yes, vrchat has encrypted their data to the game
                    So maybe that’s why it won’t work

                      If you are trying to rip NEW Avatars it will not work! VRC introduced a Unity Encryption Method to their asset bundles
                      until a ripping tool has the crack for it you cant rip!

                      However! If you have Old VRCA or __data files! you can rip them still with current rippers

                      If i find a new method on ripping i will release it however! at the current time no one has the proper tools to rip yet! there is a Private method currently that hasn't been disclosed to anyone but a select few!

                      I dont really play VRC like that anymore so might be awhile or someone else will release an updated tutorial on it!
