Creator Companion

Tried to update the Creator companion as one does, CC no longer loads and keeps pumping out the same error code about one project. Tried wiping the install and tried again, could not see projects on pc. Then tried to update it again and it instantly popped the same code again. I am not quite sure why its giving this code, its been given permission and it was run in administrator mode just in case. put a copy of said code down at the bottom if anyone is able to figure out why it wont keep permissions. but im gonna keep trying to wipe the install and see if it works eventually. 2026-08-19 10:42:18.228 -06:00 [INF] VRCLibLogger Writing logs to C:\Users\(PC Name)\AppData\Local\VRChatCreatorCompanion\Logs\20260819T104218-8b40fc193dd94165b7dab529327ddec8-log.txt 2026-08-19 10:42:18.236 -06:00 [VRB] Starting Creator Companion 2026-08-19 10:42:18.236 -06:00 [VRB] Set working directory to D:\VRChat Creator Companion\VRChat Creator Companion\ 2026-08-19 10:42:18.307 -06:00 [INF] VCC version 2.4.5 (release/2.4.5) 2026-08-19 10:42:18.308 -06:00 [INF] Running on Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045 2026-08-19 10:42:18.345 -06:00 [VRB] Setting up VCC discovery at 0:00:00.1368117 2026-08-19 10:42:18.381 -06:00 [VRB] Setting up static file server 2026-08-19 10:42:18.399 -06:00 [VRB] Starting static server at http://localhost:5476/ at 0:00:00.1928173 2026-08-19 10:42:18.400 -06:00 [VRB] Starting VCC API Server at http://localhost:5477/ at 0:00:00.1942582 2026-08-19 10:42:18.417 -06:00 [INF] Advertising VCC API as VCCApi-31dd1f61 on port 5477 at 0:00:00.2111835 2026-08-19 10:42:18.437 -06:00 [INF] Loaded settings at 0:00:00.2303442 2026-08-19 10:42:18.469 -06:00 [VRB] Running setup functions at 0:00:00.2630371 2026-08-19 10:42:18.470 -06:00 [VRB] Setting up VCC database 2026-08-19 10:42:18.593 -06:00 [ERR] Creator Companion crashed: One or more errors occurred.

Repro: Add https://vpmm.dev/index.json as Community Repo to VCC Click "Manage Project" of any of your Projects after some seconds the frontend has only there background color left, in dev tools it's showing 2x Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

When a vcc package is downgraded from a version specifying "unity" : "2022.3" to one specifying "unity" : "2019.4" , the following error is thrown and the downgrade is blocked: "Incompatible Package - You are trying to downgrade x to a version that no longer supports Unity 2022.3.22f1 used by your project, this will cause issues and is not supported." This is incorrect, because the unity field specifies a minimum supported version, not a range or a maximum.

Unity projects are shown as their folder name, but I would like to rename the project's label in VCC without renaming the actual file folder. The Unity Hub has this feature already, but not VCC. In Unity Hub you can select the action "Set project display name" for a project and give it a custom nickname. Unity Hub also has a setting to display a project's product name (as specified in Project Settings>Player) instead of the directory name, which would also work. This was a commonly requested feature before Unity actually added it to hub, see this thread on the unity forums: https://discussions.unity.com/t/renaming-projects/689478/85 It would be a useful organizational feature for those of us who use a parent folder outside of their Unity project, which seems to be not uncommon from what I read online. I have unity projects as sub folders of a main project folder which also contains other stuff like my notes, references, and source files for art assets. I can name the unity project folder "Unity" but that makes it more difficult to distinguish in the VCC, or I can name it the project name, but it makes the directory more confusing since the project name is used for two folders.

Would be nice to see n update all button for the package updates

when opening the creator companion a unity hub window will briefly open then close

Even though there is a proper place to download the VCC installer, it doesn't guarantee that it's not getting intercepted, or worse, compromised as in hacked. A user will not be able to tell if the download was tampered with, if they cannot verify the certificate anywhere.

I installed Unity 2022 in addition to Unity 2019, and now every time I start VCC or go to Settings it opens Unity Hub. Is this a bug? Here's the video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKQY04Q268E

Hello, To replicate the issue, add a project to VCC from an external HDD/network path/USB pen/etc. Close the project, remove the external drive. Try to add again a project to VCC. Because its trying to open the last path (that doesn't exist anymore) it fails to do so and just trows an error that no valid projects found, without opening an explorer window. This happens every time, the solution is to reconnect the drive. Press the Add Existing Project button again and move to a valid path. Then you can remove the external drive and the since the last path is valid it will work again to add another project.

In general it's not good practice to install software while the license is uncertain. So I want view license document of a package before installing it on VCC, especially in case of Community Packages. Also, it will be good if I can reconfirm after installing. For comparison, Unity Package Manager shows URL in Links section on details view. https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.4/Documentation/Manual/upm-ui-details.html
