Unfortunately if they've now been flagged as failing the check and you no longer have access to the VRCA file, I'd have to say yes.

I'm not currently aware of any method that allows VRChat to load security checked content, though the fact that the OP could load the avatar enough so show as visible in the menu with vrcx, you could check and see if it also happens to load the vrca file into temp storage, but I'm assuming it wouldn't let it get far enough to do so. That doesn't mean that it couldn't though, so you could check and see. If you hadn't cleared cache since the last time the avatar was available on platform, you could potentially find it amongst the temp files, but that would be a headache in and of itself, on top of the fact that we don't exactly know what the VRChat security check is examining, just broad details. If you do find it, I would think that for the avatar to pass these checks now, you'd have to unpack the vrca, rebuild avatar bones, the layers, and attempt to restore the shaders back to how they were before.

Ultimately, say unless it was an avatar you were really attached to and it isn't listed in a repository or floating out in avatar search or hosted by someone else / purchasable then unfortunately without any source file to work with, I don't see a way of salvaging the avatar and it may just have to be deleted, unless by some miracle an avatar can clear the flag without a reupload or manual inspection, but I've yet to see that happen.

This can be flagged by a number of issues but the most relevant one for older avi's would probably be that since August 16th, uploads can only be 200mb download and 500mb uncompressed as opposed to before where download was 500mb and 1.2gb uncompressed. For ripped avi's, VRC have added methods of detecting hotswapped VRCA files and other tools that place a VRCA file into the upload, essentially the check looks for modification upon upload and if it detects anything modifying the upload in an unusual way (outside of something like VRCFury, more looking for something like Shrek or so) then the security check can fail. If it has a quest version, if there was at some point a modification to allow it to reach past the 40mb uncompressed limit or the 10mb download limit, the check will now fail until updated.

@boothbabelover This issue does come up a lot but essentially it's as @kosstar said, older models usually have issues when applying newer shader versions because, for example, while Poiyomi 8.x+ is superior to something like Poiyomi Master Shader or previous versions of Poiyomi on paper, the definitions or states established on the older shader do not usually translate between version changes unless they're relatively close in build.

You can upgrade the shader to a new version, but typically if you want to keep most of the definitions intact, you'd need the version that the avatar was created with along with the new version, and migrate as many settings into the new shader as possible to retain previous functionality.

@KittyPawz What @Rynaa said is very true, VRChat wants most write defaults set to off and usually people disable them or leave them off. Facial animations usually break as a result of having WD disabled on them.

There was an old method (I think no longer works or just isn't popular anymore?) to have write defaults off and have expressions work regardless, however in most use cases you do want to ensure write defaults for expressions is on, the exception being when you get further into avatar optimization as WD is a fairly complex topic. Cams Avi's gives a pretty surface level explanation with examples on WD if needed. Definitely do check or have a program like AVC3 automate that for you since it can cause issues!

In the case of CGE, I believe it creates a controller on its own that is set up with everything as needed, so it may not be a concern, but I did want to say checking Write Defaults is a valid troubleshooting method as well!

The not so simple answer is that you'd need to make the facial expressions replace one another based on a hierarchy, or have the animation set all unused facial blendshapes to 0 while active to prevent expression overlap.

The easiest fix is probably just using Combo Gesture Expressions and filling out each gesture with an animation so that each combo has its own specific animation and cannot overlap since it would technically fire a new animation based on the gesture made.

By default the right hand also overrides the left hand for expressions so you could also set certain animations to the left hand and others to the right and sort of avoid that issue? But that's still pretty complicated, so I'd just recommend making expressions in CGE

Giving one more bumpy bump just in case, but it is pretty difficult to identify, thanks for checking in anyway though!

+1 for any information at all

Bumping for visibility

So this has turned into one major headspin of a project. A friend of mine is a big fan of this particular KissMa model and would like a more versatile version, however this model is a kitbash. I assume it's likely a headswap with a rindo model (based on the shoes and another model having the heels disabled) but I cannot find the original clothing assets at all. If anyone can identify the jacket or have a link to where it can be purchased I would be super thankful

@Asira

As an aside that just reminded me that a Venator set is on the list (https://booth.pm/ja/items/4125502), if you have that file downloaded, when you get to that point in the list I would highly recommend scanning that zip and unity package. The sets i've seen shared usually contain a dll file that usually goes unnoticed, and it will clear Virustotal, it just has a small mention towards the bottom. I don't think I saw the Tactical Bunny set (https://booth.pm/en/items/4486346) on there, however if it is present I recommend the same. I believe I saw the versions shared containing some form of windows executable.

That said, be safe and rest often! Thank you for all your hard work!
