Is it possible for networking issues to cause 'Fatal Error' crashes in VRChat, even without VR, and what should I check?

While less common, poor network conditions can sometimes trigger crashes. Check your internet connection speed and stability. Ensure your firewall isn't blocking VRChat's communication. Problems with your router or ISP can also lead to disconnects and potential crashes. Try restarting your router and modem, and contact your ISP if the issue persists.
