like if its the color red but with an alpha of 1 when its forced opaque it just renders as the red

This is the example I want to report about this black shader. It not just happened on some avatar but also happened in some world using… not sure what kind of shader they use (I don't have a PC, don't have more details)

It's more visible in Super VR Ball

I've seen this world on YouTube video, it's not supposed to look black

Android vs PC
Same Nardoragon avatar

[knotty wind]

can you post a link to the avatar?

[knotty wind]

i definitely see the same thing as you here... so it could just be the Android/Quest version of the world that looks like that? 🤔
we would need someone on Quest standalone to check what it looks like for them 😕
i'll check what that level looks like on my PC in a moment

[knotty wind]

me and a friend using Quest standalone went to the world, and loaded up the exact same stage... it is supposed to be black like that on that stage of the world, they were seeeing the same as me 🤷

[knotty wind]

and this can just be explained as Android/Quest compatible shaders not being as advanced as the PC shaders... so that is an expected difference 🤔

[knotty wind]

i assume the avatar is just uploaded wrong for Android/Quest... but would have to see it to make sure 🤷
it is at least very unlikely to be a mistake on the Android mobile version of VRChat 😅

[wet sorrel]

I was on Quest in Prismics with Lucario avi. And tried some super vr ball. Didn't see on Quest. But was in the green grass area.

[knotty wind]

the Super VR Ball pictures are of the first "Retro" stage... the water is black and everything looks like the inside of a computer cabinet 🤷
most other stages have water and grass though 😅

Anyone else having problems launching the app today?

Just opens then tries loading and immediately closes

[knotty wind]

the launch app? or the actual game client? 😕
it works fine for me, so it is not a global issue... but i have a few ideas about what your issue could be 🤔
just need to know when exactly the app closes for you

[dull rivet]

Launch app, so I cant even try to join an instance.

I can click the app icon in the app tray or home screen and it opens fullscreen then closes.

[knotty wind]

ok... then i have no clue 🤔
i suggest you contact VRChat support with this, you have a support ticket here: https://vrch.at/support

[visual moss]

try clearing the cache.

[dull rivet]

I did that already unfortunately

Tried a few things before coming here

Worked like a week ago

[last trellis]

Anyone have issues with the android version where the orientation is opposite of what it should be. Also if I hold the phone perfectly on its side it just swaps endlessly.

[knotty wind]

i think i saw someone report something like it once... but don't know if it was fixed 😕

[last trellis]

Yeah, I have to lock my orientation before I start VRC on my phone.

[knotty wind]

not entirely sure how to debug such an issue... but you can make a bug report with all the information you have 🤔

[stray spire]

Do the new accessories blendshapes not work on quest or is that a bug

[brazen oar]

damn man, my phone is samsung-sm-a156m

so it means is not compatible 🙁

[tame solstice]

H i is it possible to use android cursor / mouse to move the screen like desktop, and is it possible to remove the highlights that stay on the screen (similar to pressing the tab key that select ui elements) since using an external keyboard to chat somewhat highlights my whole vrchat screen without an option to remove / deselect it until i restart

[knotty wind]

probably not? 🤔
i suggest you make a feature request on the Canny board, here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/android

does anyone find it nearly impossible to get vrchat notifications to actually get sent to your phone?

it seems like im required to have the vrc mobile app open in order to get any notifications. if i leave it open as a background task, it just closes no matter what i do to try to turn off that (battery saving?) feature.
as a result, i get zero notifications from the app when its not the app thats opened, unlike the iOS version that doesn't ever have this problem...

if anyone needs to know, im using a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

[soft tangle]

You're not the only one here that has an issue. I've tested before I didn't get any notification if the app did not open. Other apps never have this issue if we do not open it but still get notifications.

[knotty wind]

i have never thought of this, but yeah i can say i have the issue too? i just have never expected the behavior 🤔
i suggest you make a bug report, here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/android

Second attempt using VRChat via (different) emulators and it works! I can login to the game as usual but it can't be used for some reason…

Well it may not be working completely but the benefit for me who don't have a PC, I finally completed the last task for a mobile badge for many months at last! 🥹

[minor nebula]

Is this like through game native?

[quasi plover]

Anyone else having this issue ? I can't log in with discord

[grizzled coral]

VRChat is currently down (but as usual it seems to be one of the important web providers)

[soft tangle]

The first world receives a new Quest limit of 150MB before Fish! (TrickForge did announce first). The main convention might be bigger than this one.

Update: Now it's 109MB size
