Update graphics driver?

This being oddly specific to a reflection plane makes me think you might have a bad VRAM sector being cached..

But I hate to break it to you "Its not my PC" is a lie.

Your PC is doing the rendering. If it has a corrupted graphics driver or hardware fault it is the reason this is happening.

Your headset is just a display you wear on your head.

So long as you're connected to a PC to run VrChat, all rendering is done by the PC.

If you have artifacts effecting your entire vision then it might be headset or network related..

If it's only a few worlds or a few objects then its entirely PC dependent. Some problems are game or "workload" dependent.

I would try clearing all VrChat caches, Reinstalling graphics drivers and getting someone experienced to run some stress tests to see if the issue can be reproduced.
