This is the type of logspam I'm getting, after verifying integrity and re-patching. Checking the getstate.json requests, it seems to be happening every few seconds, not every frame for sure, but this log spamming is happening much faster than every few seconds, seems detached from the cadence of the getstate, if they were supposed to be related.

Pretty sure it's unrelated/different issue... issue that this patch fixes is just binding reload spam

Actually, as it turns out, its definitely not VRChat related. The log spam happens even in VR Home which is being seen as a legacy application. It is checking for legacy bindings every frame, and once I turn on controllers, it adds in that message about the left and right thumbs
