Hotswapping VRCW is pretty easy and can be done in under 5mins (depends on ur World Size).</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Important:</strong><br />
Only works if your current Unity editor matches the .vrcw Unity ver.<br />
The Tool will tell u which Version was used, just downgrade ur SDK then.<br />
The script scans the .vrcw and tells you what version of Unity it was made in.<br />
22f2-DWR works in 22f1 too.</p>
<p dir="auto">Low Risk of getting banned, but still be careful, use Alt Accs for Uploads.<br />
DONT upload ripped Worlds to Public Spaces, Speedrun Ban.</p>
<p dir="auto">After step 3, <strong>don't</strong> click Build &amp; Publish again. That undoes the swap.</p>

<p dir="auto"><strong>Note:</strong><br />
When Packing with LZMA/LZ4, there can be a "processing" time, meaning it can take some time for you to be able to join the world, sometimes 5-30minutes, or maybe even more.<br />
When using LZ4Runtime, "processing" time is near instant.<br />
(No compressor needed for LZ4Runtime, world also needs to be less than 1.5GB ideally because LZ4Runtime compression is not as strong as LZMA)</p>
