I think if we had access to profile the actual vrchat client properly, it would be a lot easier to figure out what exactly is causing the problem. I do think the archa has a good point that they can't increase poly count because so many shader effects depend on poly count.

Ehhhhh, there are definitely some vertex shaders that can get kinda heavy, but you aren’t going to feel most of them unless you have an insane amount or it’s written in a way that is malicious. Most useful shader effects will be frag shaders anyway. We’re not gonna talk about geometry shaders lol.

I guess I should have expanded beyond shaders to include mesh skinning and blend shapes. Either way, I think before we even consider increasing limits, we need to see animator performance considered as well as law enforcement of Avatar ranks.
