[swift token]

google play store is kinda slow apparently

[lusty hazel]

Ayo

[naive bluff]

not available in your country

[lusty hazel]

qwq

[frozen plank]

Yup not available in your country as well (Germany)

[naive bluff]

Why is it not available in hamburgerland?

[proper jackal]

Also not available here (Germany)

[naive bluff]

[swift token]

its gplay making things up

please wait

Gplay is not like steam

they are verrrrrrrryyyyyyyy sllllllllllllloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww

[merry edge]

Lol

[proper jackal]

IOS is supposedly even slower

[merry edge]

Yep

[naive bluff]

Oh god.

[lusty hazel]

I hate gplay sometimes lol

[bold sorrel]

Bjark.

Damn. I was focusing very hard in the open beta section to try and be first... Little did I know it would be a new tab.

[naive bluff]

Hjeck.

[umbral ivy]

About time. I was about to ask about this. Been tired of asking my Quest players to check my map

[merry edge]

XD

[umbral ivy]

Though it's paywalled for the time being. Crap

[proper jackal]

Still might want to due to performance

[umbral ivy]

Guess I gotta wait.

[lusty hazel]

[umbral ivy]

Na, it's more I needed to make sure certain desyncs isn't happening

[proper jackal]

Finally

Some incentive to not make very poors

ilysm

[umbral ivy]

Fine by me, personally.

[swift token]

Still sittin and waitin' on GPlay...

mobile Launches are really unexciting

[proper jackal]

Reminder that the target demographic for android is way way waaaaay larger than what we currently have

[umbral ivy]

Course. I'm more excited for the phone build so I can finally have a way to locally test my Quest stuff, namely my game world

[lusty hazel]

same xD

[violet zinc]

I spy some new promo images on the page
Any chance these could be brought over to the steam store page? The current ones are very old

[lusty hazel]

yeah, that would be nice

[gloomy grotto]

"This item isn't available in your country"

Dang, even East US isn't safe

[umbral ivy]

This app is not available for any of your devices Dang.

Guess my Galaxy A13 isn't good enough x,x

[analog lodge]

ah finaly i get to see how my oneplus 11 handels vrc xD

[lusty hazel]

VRChat is waiting for Googe Play to make the VRChat Android Alpha available for everyone, just wait for the announcement in #announcements .

[umbral ivy]

Oh, is the supported phone list just slowly being rolled out then?

[balmy pilot]

[lusty hazel]

It's just Google Play being really, really slow. ^^

[rose leaf]

fun

[analog lodge]

by specs of oneplus 11 it should be identical performance what quest 2 has right ?

[umbral ivy]

I wonder if my A13 will be fine... Guess I'll wait. Not like I could use it anyways since I'd need VRC+ >.>¿

[swift token]

Stilllllllllll waitin' on GPlay. Please ignore any messages about region locks, device locks, etc.

[umbral ivy]

sounds good 👍

[rose leaf]

wonder how the UI will behave on my fold

[umbral ivy]

I bet folded

[rose leaf]

it's not really portrait or landscape

[umbral ivy]

I'll show myself out

[rose leaf]

it's 5:4

mostly square lol

[lusty hazel]

VRChat is still waiting for Googe Play to make the VRChat Android Alpha available for everyone, please ignore any messages about region / device locks.
There will be an announcement in #announcements once it's available.

[tepid dagger]

Does anyone know how long before that fixes?

[rose leaf]

nope

[umbral ivy]

I'd give it a day

[balmy pilot]

If they knew they'd say lol

[tepid dagger]

Bro, I was hype to play immediately.

[umbral ivy]

keep in mind you need vrc+

[civic moon]

I cannot wait to play VRChat on a phone that I definitely have!

[analog lodge]

man if i would have still google cardboard box id try if i could get vrc on phone to work like normal steam vr version

[lusty hazel]

I'm curios how it behaves when switching screens

[tepid dagger]

Had it for a year now.

[lusty hazel]

I wanna try it on my Galaxy Tab S7+ xD

[umbral ivy]

Nice.

[rose leaf]

very good question

[analog lodge]

is ps4 or xbox controller supported on mobile ?

[civic moon]

I think I remember seeing Squid in an instance showcasing the android build, its interesting for sure.

[tacit cosmos]

Can't wait to try it on my S20FE

[umbral ivy]

I'd like to see if it runs on my A13.

[balmy pilot]

I have a Z Flip3

[slate loom]

[tepid dagger]

Such hype!

[lusty hazel]

The new 5?

[balmy pilot]

Nah the 3

[lusty hazel]

ah

[umbral ivy]

But anyways. I'ma yeet outa the chat, since we're just waiting on Google at this point.

Good luck guys

[lusty hazel]

Would be funny to try to play it on the small screen on the 5 xD

[lusty hazel]

heyo spark :p

[balmy pilot]

oh hey this is my birthday so this is a birthday present to me specifically, thanks tupper

[tepid dagger]

I just wonder how well it controls.

[slate loom]

hello!

[fervent elk]

wonder if it will run on my razr flip phone

[balmy pilot]

party's tonight at 9 est

[civic moon]

the opportunity cost of upgrading from VRChat on your phone to FBT Eye // Hand Tracking PCVR is going to be insane

[analog lodge]

am i only one or did gplay vrc website go down ?

[civic moon]

compared to just PC --> PCVR

[fervent elk]

Seems like it's still in a rollout phase, please bear with it

[tepid dagger]

I wonder if it'll run on my tablet. 🤣

[analog lodge]

roger also any info does vrc on mobile support ps4 or xbox controller via bluetooth ?

[old fossil]

why did we let the bear near it??

[tepid dagger]

Hopefully.

[lusty hazel]

I'm going to get the sticky bot in here if more people keep asking xD

[fervent elk]

the alternative was badgers

[thorny star]

hi

[balmy pilot]

surprised you didn't do it first tbh

[analog lodge]

i can imagine just laying on sofa with google cardboard vrc there then ear puds on and using xbox controller man what a time to be alive

[civic moon]

I cannot wait to showcase VRChat to my grandparents on this bad boi

[merry edge]

Love it

[tepid dagger]

Well that's new.

[swift token]

Hold

fixing

GPlay is awful

[civic moon]

now that I think about it you could probably make the android version use your camera for face and eye tracking using OSC

[lusty hazel]

[tepid dagger]

I second that notion.

[opal saddle]

i would love for this to be natively integrated into app

[swift token]

URLs updated

[civic moon]

yes!

[swift token]

check the info channel links

[analog lodge]

but isent apple then best for that since vtubers use iphones for face capture and all ?

[swift token]

opt into testing

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.vrchat.mobile.playstore

[little furnace]

Tupper I need answers. Who is this character, and why is this portal incredibly HD?

The portal is supposed to be an incredibly low resolution particle effect... When I made my fake portals for our joke jam world I actually made them super HD specifically because of that

[civic moon]

I would love to opt in but I do not own a phone aaaa

[balmy pilot]

I opted in but the URL is still 404

[lusty hazel]

dang, still not available

[thorny star]

😭

[little furnace]

Even after you opt in for testing on Google Play, there can be a substantial lag. It even says that on the page

[tepid dagger]

Opted in. Still not available in country.

[thorny star]

🥺

[tepid dagger]

Why does Google have to suck so much?

[analog lodge]

are we gonna have vrc mobile tester group instance ?

[rocky copper]

dafuq did yall do yall broke the google play store page lol

[tepid dagger]

Lol. Would be interesting.

[civic moon]

when you're one of the two monopoly mobile app superstores things got to be spicy

[little furnace]

Google Play is just slow. That's how it works. It's really stupid.

[thorny star]

someone get google on the phone. now.

[tepid dagger]

Legit question: is mobile gonna be live compatible at download?

[merry edge]

Lol

[grand zenith]

Oh so this is new :3

[swift token]

yep!

[tepid dagger]

F*ck yeah. Gonna be fun seeing what the mobile badge looks like.

[balmy pilot]

also who made the video 👀 lots of original animation

[analog lodge]

when gplay website was up i did check version number but didnt screencap or anything so assuming its same build as live version now

[rocky copper]

yeah who got bored over the week lol

[swift token]

yeah haha that took a week, heh

[balmy pilot]

i am having a brain fart over the art director's vrchat name, i only remember octopus dude

[fervent elk]

Yall know video editing is a professional skillset right

[balmy pilot]

(it's my day job lol)

[tepid dagger]

Can we pin the tester link so it ain't get lost?

[balmy pilot]

that prob took months

[swift token]

its in #android-announcements , linked twice

[violet zinc]

I thought you just threw peanuts at video editors and they throw a video back at you

[rocky copper]

yeah just a little surprised by how over the top it is considering what its annoucning in comparison

[swift token]

VRChat being on mobile is kind of a big deal

[lusty hazel]

mhm

[analog lodge]

i assume we report to canny all vrc mobile issues that we see right?

[lusty hazel]

it's huge

[swift token]

yes, please read #android-announcements

[lusty hazel]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-alpha

[tepid dagger]

I can finally play at work on my forklift now!

[little furnace]

Play says
Version
2023.2.4-1314--Release
Updated on
Aug 3, 2023

I know that's a network compatible build, but is it supposed to be synced with live? That build number is pre YTDL updates (are you guys shipping ytdl on Android..?)

[tepid dagger]

(Not that I ever would)

[balmy pilot]

Isn't it Year Quarter Patch?

[little furnace]

That build ID is a few builds back from live. It lines up with the version that was released on August 3rd
#announcements message

But, might just be Google Play being slow if a new package has been pushed.

[analog lodge]

does that mean videoplayers work or not work like for quest recently video player support was added ?

[visual mango]

Can I have the google playstore link to download it?

[lusty hazel]

#android-announcements

[frozen plank]

Although you still need to wait a bit for GooglePlay to get it's shit together

[rocky copper]

wonder how long it will take for google to realize im in the program lol, still 404 for me 🙂

[little furnace]

That is not a question I can answer. Google Play might just be lagging if they have pushed a new build.

[rocky copper]

release so big google play servers have caught on fire 🙂

[merry edge]

Probably

[analog lodge]

they need to give steroids for hampsters keeping their servers running just like steam with summer sales in past

[swift token]

wrong version

[thorny star]

do I need to get on the phone with google!!

[sick zephyr]

I cant wait to bother my friends at work

[swift token]

don't trust GPlay right now

[little furnace]

Google Play moment

[balmy pilot]

time to sideload the apk onto my quest

[gloomy grotto]

Google's lawn goats are eating the server lines rn lol

[little furnace]

I love downloading random apks from the internet

[native igloo]

yeah, I think better not trust yet...

[balmy pilot]

nah i meant pull it from my phone once it's installed lol

yeah the page itself is offline unlike before

[warm crane]

Samsung Note 8 user. Is this expected?

[old fossil]

Let me in on your thought process of what you're trying to accomplish with that?

[thorny star]

to run vrchat on quest 🙂

[analog lodge]

dont trust google yet should be ok when it's ready

[balmy pilot]

shitposting by being in 2d vrchat in vr

[rocky copper]

vrchat is finally google cardboard compatible /s

[lusty hazel]

[thorny star]

i'm going to get involved.

[unkempt nimbus]

sounds like a canny idea actually, having a toggle for stereo rendering and 3dof head tracking

[frozen plank]

Time to upload APK here directly

[warm crane]

I understand, but. My device is incompatible, apparently.

[frozen plank]

[analog lodge]

almost 2am for me time to wait and see when i can get into it xd

[rocky copper]

does anyone actually ever use those though. like they just really arent worth even if you dont have a normal headset IMO

[tepid dagger]

me having no clue how to work an apk file

[fervent elk]

Most likely a fluke, that error has been coming up randomly for devices we know it works with.

[unkempt nimbus]

I mean, the 3dof head tracking idea still sounds kinda funny

[rocky copper]

having motion controls atleast could be nice

[gray maple]

Hope my Xiaomi works lol

[balmy pilot]

At least you can see the app page. Mine turned into a 404 lol

[warm crane]

I hope that's the case. I'd be mad if my phone is not compatible. I'd probably go run and get another phone.

[rocky copper]

motion controls for hands?!

lol

[frozen plank]

Try on phone, not PC

[little furnace]

Please do not encourage people to sideload totallyrealvrchat.apk

[warm crane]

On Limewire.

[warm crane]

It says Try again. Did you try again?

[old fossil]

Hey guys, here's the app: vrchat_v3_final_Final-real3.apk

[rocky copper]

reminds me of google just making new base domains like .zip

imagine if they made a .apk base domain.....

[fervent elk]

if i unhide extensions, is there gonna be a .exe at the end of that...

[viral urchin]

Just downloaded it, works great thx

[noble crater]

yeah... no don't do that

[balmy pilot]

vrchat_123.2_final_copy_(1).apk.exe

[thorny star]

link doesn't work

[little furnace]

Who uses hidden extensions

Why do that to yourself

[fervent elk]

people who dont need to be reminded what they are . :p

[balmy pilot]

yes lol

[viral urchin]

wym it works just fine

[warm crane]

Not to be concerned. I know this app has been on Google Play for years. Likely unharmful, but is this app getting DMCA'd?

[knotty geyser]

I saw that too

[fervent elk]

Can't really talk about that kind of thing here, DAG. I know you know that.

[warm crane]

owo

[rocky copper]

👀

[native igloo]

(They are really handy app so hopefully not)

[nova ravine]

I'm screaming internally

[balmy pilot]

Ok time to go eat my birthday dinner

[rocky copper]

I mean id imagine if its negative it would but if its fine I dont see why theyd bother

[balmy pilot]

hope i can download this by the time i'm back

[knotty geyser]

Join the club

[fervent elk]

But dyno

[tepid dagger]

Imma go order pizza.

[native igloo]

[warm crane]

Wow, this is just like the real thing. Holy crap, guys. I'm gonna give them all my money now.

[nova ravine]

[fervent elk]

[frozen plank]

[rocky copper]

thats what I thought but had to check lol. Very useful!

[tepid dagger]

I knew that was coming. And I still clicked on it.

[knotty geyser]

I know
Thats what I'm talking about too

[nova ravine]

yeah the current link is broken.

[warm crane]

say cap right now

[frozen plank]

Less broken, rather GPlay slow

[rocky copper]

I know it makes no sense for something like vrc but imagine if we got tilt inputs into udon and could control gravity 👀

[balmy pilot]

It wasn't broken and then it was. 😦

[nova ravine]

meaning its getting approved by Google?

[balmy pilot]

I could at least see the storepage now it says it's not found.

[thorny star]

link doesn't work

[frozen plank]

No it also was, that's why it had to be renewed.

[balmy pilot]

ahh

[agile totem]

Let me in, LET ME IIINNN

[gloomy grotto]

Me here hoping I was gonna play vrchat while at work lol

[native igloo]

as it is still broken....seems some people trying to search on unofficial play store. (just I saw)

[tepid dagger]

Español?

[analog lodge]

bruh i cant even find vrc on gplay store it offers roblox and some shit xd

[gloomy grotto]

Also hi @warm crane, long time no see :>

[warm crane]

I don't remember 💀

but hi

[frozen plank]

Yeah GPlay and normal app's aren't exactly made for instantanious releases, eh?

Quest gladly has the quest store

[nova ravine]

Can I just get the APK

[frozen plank]

Sure
https://dj-fpaul.de/VRChat.apk

Blame the Google Goats.

[knotty geyser]

You stop taking shitty photos 🫵

[tepid dagger]

Sadge

[nova ravine]

😭

[native igloo]

yeah

[visual mango]

Is this the 15-30 minute thing that I gotta wait for?

[agile totem]

Tpr pls fix

[nova ravine]

@lusty hazel Why not just upload the APK to a google drive for now?

[native igloo]

ask google for it

[agile totem]

That's can be a big security issue

[nova ravine]

Wait I got an idea!!!

[knotty geyser]

No you dont

[swift token]

i hope this is a joke, do not download random APKs from gdrive jfc

[frozen plank]

If VRChat published the APK directly, i'm sure they'd put it on their website.

[lusty hazel]

Why are you pinging me for that as if I had anything to say here lol

[hybrid tendon]

Is this free? -not scammer

[analog lodge]

Jesus christ

[nova ravine]

OMG

[tepid dagger]

Yoooooo

[agile totem]

I'm getting yelled at by 3 people at once xD

[analog lodge]

hitting install bounces me back bruh

[rocky copper]

I have gained access

[regal plume]

Fake

[visual mango]

It doesn't work for me

[warm crane]

Bless you, FPaul.

[nova ravine]

I mean if it's coming from you or another DEV on the team, I think we can trust you're not doing stupid shit.

[ocean wyvern]

VRChat, once again, actually delivering on the promise of a persistent Metaverse that's accessible from a headset, or mobile device.

Checkmate again, Zucc.

Excited to see how this goes!

[knotty geyser]

Just stop being tarra

[nova ravine]

fuck

[analog lodge]

'' something went wrong try again ''

[native igloo]

I told you....

[rocky copper]

spend the time to make a apk that just launches you to youtube to rick roll you lol

[warm crane]

It says Try again. Did you try again?

[nova ravine]

LMAO

[frozen plank]

bonks DAG

[knotty geyser]

I gave up before it said to try again

[warm crane]

Then maybe

try again

[knotty geyser]

Nah

[analog lodge]

been hitting install button about faster than normal player taps screen at cookie clicker

[nova ravine]

OK so no more goofiness:
In order to get the App is it going to be testers only or are we just waiting on Google to stop taking forever?

[agile totem]

Yes

[knotty geyser]

Nah goofiness always

[nova ravine]

-.-

[analog lodge]

it is now like do you wanna select this current phone or other device

[nova ravine]

Im actually trying to be serious right now for a change.

Released June 29. 1+ download. Sadge.

[magic karma]

[nova ravine]

This is why I need the APK for my phone

[pearl mulch]

would you be able to move using wasd if you plugged in a keyboard to your phone?

[analog lodge]

dunno dont have that possibility to try

[nova ravine]

likely

[analog lodge]

[nova ravine]

Get a bluetooth keyboard and try

[warm crane]

Slowmode time.

[brazen kestrel]

[brazen kestrel]

downloading now

[naive bluff]

Hmmmm... why friends list empty? :(

[brazen kestrel]

yooo launching vrcc

[ripe dove]

oh cool i get to test it too

[brazen kestrel]

hos this work is it like the website or is it acc vrc

[slate loom]

Fine here, maybe restart?

[naive bluff]

Maybe.

[rocky copper]

why are very poor avatars not renderered

[tulip rain]

i don;t think you can use WASD to move

it's android, so I assume it works the same as quest

[warm crane]

Note 8 rise up.

[dull haven]

yuppie!

[little furnace]

I love Android GPU drivers

[dull rivet]

Seems to work nice

[modern zinc]

For it to install

[rocky copper]

ok but that eliminates like a massive percent of quest content that exists

[umbral ivy]

[frozen plank]

... optimize it?

[tepid dagger]

Let's goooooooo

[knotty geyser]

Phooey

[dull rivet]

Got right in

[rocky copper]

different behaviour

[rocky copper]

thats literally impossible with some systems

[nova ravine]

I keep running into issues

[knotty geyser]

I was excited too
Oh well

[thorny star]

ok I'm in!!!

[frozen plank]

Poor is a target anyone can reach if you're willing to actually put in work and care.

[torn patio]

oof

[brazen kestrel]

why have you locked it behind a pay walll man

i dont wanna pay for vrc +

[tulip rain]

they said it would be available to everyone after beta is over

[warm crane]

They literally explained it.

[hybrid tendon]

probably to not have people flood it

[pearl mulch]

so everybody and their dog doesn't pile in to start while it's still buggy beta software

[rocky copper]

this doesnt address the point of certain setups still always garunteeing pushing to very poor but ok

[brazen kestrel]

fr lmao i didnt read

[torn patio]

They are waiting until the bugs are worked out.

[warm crane]

Alpha*

[brazen kestrel]

alr

[flat lance]

This is actually pretty impressive. Runs like a dream on a galaxy s21 ultra

[umbral ivy]

Welp, guess I can go bother my quest players more since I can't freaking run the game despite my phone being decent...

[frozen plank]

Then you need to reconsider those setups. 🙃

☠️ you telling me my phone is Android 13 and it still won't run the app. Amazing thank you

[hybrid tendon]

there's definitely gonna be an uptick in sales that's for sure

[torn patio]

🤣

[brazen kestrel]

alr the servers diffrent to pc and quest

[warm crane]

Should I put in a feedback ticket saying that my mid-range phone isn't compatible?

[brazen kestrel]

cause no way a phone can handle a pc avi ?

[torpid drift]

it uses Quest uploaded avatars, they're both android

[brazen kestrel]

no pc avis

[torpid drift]

same limitation as Quest, but you cannot see very poor avatars

[stuck bronze]

Time to kill my phone

[rocky copper]

so if I have a small ammount of toggles then im just fucked?

[umbral ivy]

Quest is an android system, so makes sense to make it work for android?

[supple spruce]

What phone do you have

[stuck bronze]

Samsung

[brave blaze]

seems pixel 4xl is "not compatible"

[nova ravine]

It says I can install on my phone but it literally wont run

[supple spruce]

Samsung what

[nova ravine]

I'm gonna do something fuckin dumb

[brazen kestrel]

when wwill it be released to non vrc

[frozen plank]

No. Toggles work many ways.
Everything a separate game object (which you probably have) thus inflating mat count is the worst of em.

[muted kayak]

yes

[waxen field]

Just tried it on my Z Fold 4, it looks great!

[brazen kestrel]

i said when

[frozen plank]

Look up other options like bone hiding or shapekeys (latter is not very performant)

[nova ravine]

I swear to god if this works... I'm gonna see if it works on a firestick

[tepid dagger]

It's so weird.

[muted kayak]

yes

[old crystal]

Not available on my device

[nova ravine]

Ghosty

also

[tawny spade]

Anyone in EU having the same issue?

[supple spruce]

I love how when you release the app to the public you still make people use the Plus subscription. Why not just hold the app back until it's fully stable.

[hazy gyro]

This is sick

[waxen field]

Will there be a channel eventually to report bugs for Android builds?

[narrow radish]

Ah, my pixel 5 says it's not supported either. Too bad

[novel hornet]

i get the "invalis username/password" error, even tho it's the right one, cuz i just did it on PC

[brave blaze]

So pixel 4xl, with 6 Gb ram and a relatively good GPU is technically incompatible, but I almost guarantee if I got the APK I could use it

[supple spruce]

Pixel 5 is still a good phone. I think it's just them didn't test it on all devices

[potent gazelle]

Vrc on iOS Next ?🙏

[tacit summit]

can we like

[brave blaze]

Wonder if any pixels are supported

[hardy charm]

newest firestick only has 1.5GB RAM, VRchat says it needs 6GB minimum, it won't work

[deft oak]

i have samsung S10

[tacit summit]

let the A32 run vrchat

[supple spruce]

Same!

[naive bluff]

Wew. Phone does not like packed instances.

[old crystal]

I have samsung a32

[tacit summit]

let poor people have fun

[blazing lintel]

my phone is incompatible, looks like i still need to rely on others for testing stuff 😔 my hopes have been dashed

[soft shale]

real

[marsh plover]

Great... Who tf has 6 GB of RAM on their phone?

[shut ocean]

the A32 only has 3GB of RAM. it will not work sadly.

[soft shale]

high end phones

[brave blaze]

me, with a pixel 4xl

[nova ravine]

Is this confirmed completely?

[potent gazelle]

Me asf with the £70 in my bank account

[brave blaze]

but not compatible for some reason

[warm crane]

Do you guys want Canny tickets for compatibility? I can't download it.

[supple spruce]

Find a way to force install the app lmao

[lament reef]

so dumb question how do I exit the game on the app lol

[brave blaze]

If I had the APK I could

[shut ocean]

those who games modestly on their phone or doesn't care about phone costs because of contracts.

[hardy charm]

Galaxy S20+ has 12GB RAM

[tacit summit]

bruh i got 10$ in my account

[lilac dome]

soooo you need vrcplus to play it apparently? uninstalled lmoa

[languid glacier]

i have that too on my phone

[supple spruce]

Is your device compatible?

[shut ocean]

same with the S22 Ultra.

[nova ravine]

Thats what I would do if I could at least get the APK butI doubt anyone has gotten it yet.

[shadow spoke]

So will osc work?

[soft shale]

And now we wait

[brave blaze]

It should be but does not allow for me to download from the google store

[ripe dove]

Welp its working

[novel hornet]

how?!

i cant even log in

[latent solar]

I'm in Europe and I don't have any issues on my S22 Ultra

[stray hull]

Just downloaded it and it works fine so far

[analog lodge]

so far my experience is my oneplus 11 runs 60fps and temps are not even high around +30c

[ripe dove]

I just realised my avatar was pc only so i had to switch to niko

[supple spruce]

Share the app lmfao

[soft shale]

type the things on your screen

[potent gazelle]

Someone pass me their android phone pretty pls 🥺

[soft shale]

nO

[marsh plover]

That is at least the truth unlike what they said "Most mid-range phones should be fine"

[merry edge]

There's one complaint that I have so far I can't seem to access the Avatar scaling systems ore the expression menu

[potent gazelle]

💔

[swift lake]

My poor S9+ when I open VRC for the 100th time

[normal bane]

Cool af

[nova ravine]

oh ok so my phone is 100% ok to work, I have 6Gbs of ram exactly which means my phone is completely compatible.

[novel hornet]

i know that, but it keeps saying "incorrect username/password" - even tho it's right

[olive ingot]

man i need vrc+ to test this lmao

[plain junco]

are friends not allowed yet on mobile?

[slate loom]

It'll probably run better than Quest, considering it's much easier to render for a single-screen phone

[nova ravine]

The problem is that I can't even remotely get on the game at all because it wont install. Is this something to do with google or VRchat?

[agile kestrel]

long press on the menu button in the bottom right to access the action menu

[ripe dove]

Better?

[soft shale]

flex >:(

[torpid patio]

Wicked, my battery didn't like it though

[stuck bronze]

Nvm I can install an log in but I don't have vrchat plus so it keeps me out

[supple spruce]

Smartass

[ripe dove]

Oh my friggin god

[magic karma]

it only took 20 mins and i crashed 🤣

[brave blaze]

Waiting for a friend with a different phone to snag the APK for me

[ripe dove]

Lol there we go

[grizzled gate]

Wait is this real, ALPHA BUILD??!1!1}1{1>2${]]~

[dull rivet]

Can't believe its runing 33 fps with a pixel 6 in a 16 person instance thats pretty dope.

[plain junco]

^

[rose leaf]

have you not seen the announcement...?

[nova ravine]

I'm resetting my phone

[grizzled gate]

I forgot about it :, D

[novel hornet]

gotta use your mail, not the username -_-

[swift token]

your friends are definitely allowed on mobile! (as long as they have VRC+)

I'm not sure I understand your question unfortunately.

[olive ingot]

So technically we could makeshift a google cardboard to go with it and it would be better than an oculus lmfao

[slate loom]

E-mail or username, NOT display name

[plain junco]

like it says i have no friends on vrchat mobile

[swift token]

Are you sure you logged into the correct account?

[near lantern]

This is so cool!

[novel hornet]

did my original username, didn't work

[plain junco]

yes! :)

[grizzled gate]

Restart then do it again, i think that helps

[nova ravine]

@swift token Why not add onto the site to have the APK there to download directly?

[marsh plover]

Guess I can opt out of the test phase again. Mid-range phones my... You know. Mid range with 6 GB of RAM? Sure never saw that

[swift token]

Restart the app, see if that helps. Might be stuck or a failed API call

[nova ravine]

thats why I said the site, not a google drive this time.

[swift token]

That is not how mobile app distribution works if you want to retain a safe, trusted application!

Or to keep Google happy.

[grizzled gate]

I have a big feeling it would work for them

[waxen field]

I can confirm it works perfectly fine for Z Fold Users. The only odd quirk is that the screen will auto-orient itself horizontally when accessing the VRC menu.

[coarse turtle]

wont install on my s9+

[frozen plank]

Me seeing my quest self for the first time.

[warm crane]

Do you want Canny tickets for phone compatibility? Pretty sure my phone is considered mid-range. But I dont want to flood the Android board if you're not going to use the info. Mine won't download.

[nova ravine]

How does that work? I've never done anything like it so I don't understand it.

[wary umbra]

weird it wont let me log in but i have vrchat plus

[sweet belfry]

Is this going to permanently be locked behind vrc+,

[grizzled gate]

for a second i thought the tail was a big decor thing in the background- (edit: IT WAS)

[marsh plover]

nope

[keen pendant]

no, once it's tested more it'll be for the public

[vale edge]

Real quick. Does this not support bt mics? It only seems to use my phone mic.

[nova ravine]

I might get VRC+ for this

[warm crane]

Get VRC+ for this.

[graceful robin]

i have to say...therefor that i dont have the best phone and besides that it dies while loading avis
i didnt expect it to run that damn smooth

good job devs

[hybrid tendon]

Quest graphics still suck, PC Supremacy still am I right?

[nova ravine]

Well first I need to make sure it will install

[weary epoch]

I wanted to get the quest experience but I think I'll never see the day: A13 Sammy

[waxen field]

Try checking in your audio settings in VRC, you know how you can change your mic on PC? May or may not be a thing in the android build as well

[warm crane]

This is in alpha.

[hybrid tendon]

Android is quest

[vale edge]

You can't change input.

[small oracle]

how long until someones phone bricks

[sweet belfry]

Good, would be stupid to have a tool to test quest versions of avaters if you don't want to buy a quest 2 (have an index)

[analog lodge]

feels weird to get smooth 60fps in black cat public lobby

[marsh plover]

Permanently locked behind a $300-$700 phone I guess

[weary epoch]

no like its not on mines in the store

[slate loom]

https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/mobile-alpha-now-live this post should answer your question (and others!)

[nova ravine]

I GOT IT!!!

[weary epoch]

i'll just re sub

[vale edge]

It runs great on my 150$ LG V60 so far.

[grizzled gate]

I love how they misspelled alpha

[nova ravine]

1. you would love my tattoo
2. Android - quest

[vast flame]

I was able to join on friends, and talk to them

[livid shale]

I'm only on LS Media, and my phone is already getting hot lmfao (I have Samsung A53 5G)

[turbid torrent]

I can't get it I think

[weary epoch]

welp!

[sweet belfry]

I looked through it did not see if it was permanently locked behind vrc+ or not

[vale edge]

I mean it's still a powerful phone but yeah. Just no external mic I guess. Can't use my headphones

[brave blaze]

For anyone else with pixel phones: For some reason they built the APK (Or Xapk in this case) without support for the pixels architecture from what I can see

[livid shale]

it aint that hot, but i still feel temp difference lmao

[coarse turtle]

Is there a full list of supported phones?

[fervent dirge]

im suprised that phones can even run vrchat

[fringe helm]

this crazy

[wary umbra]

i have the samaung z flip 3,

[grizzled gate]

Burbger

[wary umbra]

i should be ok? hopefully?

[gloomy grotto]

Surprisingly my Very Poor arflin was able to be not only shown, but it was running smoothly as heck

[slate loom]

"When it comes out of alpha, it’ll be available for everyone – so don’t worry!"

[velvet nebula]

The Quest (2) is essentially a phone

[lusty hazel]

Should be yeah ^^

[analog lodge]

i was on home world and now at black cat temps acording to my one plus 11 game this are +38c

[slate loom]

oops, we'll fix

[livid shale]

ngl, i would be happy if LS Media would be supported

[grizzled gate]

How high quality will the mic be when someone uses it??

[frozen plank]

Android 10, 6GB RAM

[sweet belfry]

Ah missed that part thanks

[fervent dirge]

tru

[late plaza]

Is the app not allowed on certain regions cuz I'm in the US and it's telling me that it's not available

[grizzled gate]

Thank me for pointing out the misspelling : D

[crude temple]

If/when VRChat gets an iOS app, will this channel be renamed to #mobile-general, or will it be a separate channel ?

[frozen plank]

join the beta.
And if you already have you need to wait, maybe clear the cache of the playstore

[brave blaze]

Even having a $1k phone (When it was new, pixel 4xl) it isnt supported rn

[fervent dirge]

prob never

ios will be jbroken

i alreay crash xd

[crude temple]

😮

[lament chasm]

Disable auto-rotate in your system settings

[lusty hazel]

How do you see that?

[half tapir]

I always have it disabled

[fervent dirge]

also old iphones cant handle crap i have an 8 and my phone thermal throttles on the most basic of moble games

[warm crane]

6 is minimum, so uhh.

[jagged meadow]

Hello I keep getting a failed integrity check every time I try to join a world and get stuck in a log-in loop

[slate loom]

Android 10?

[lament chasm]

Rotate to landscape and then apply a rotation lock

[lusty hazel]

You need Android 10 DAG...

[vast flame]

I get 60fps on a samsung S20FE

[grizzled gate]

Dm any person that works for uhhhhhhhhh vrchat yea

[analog lodge]

perk of owning oneplus 11 i guess all oneplus phones got gaming mode which shows that and allows you to choose even gaming profile

[brave blaze]

They should definately be targeting pixels but why are they not

[crude temple]

Completely fair, I mean even for Android they have a minimum spec list, and I'm pretty sure there's a way to limit to specific iOS versions/devices?

[fervent dirge]

im sorry what

[vast flame]

yes

[tacit summit]

let me run vrchat on my poor A32

[warm crane]

Why the hell is my phone Android 9?? It's most up to date.

I give up then.

[lament chasm]

Did you download it from the Google Play store? Or did you try and sideload it

[vale edge]

Before I open a bug report, is this even supposed to work with Bluetooth microphones at all? Or is that unsupported currently.

[jagged meadow]

yes

[grizzled gate]

What does avatar overlay do?? I forgot

[slate loom]

Note 8 likely doesn't support Android 10 yet, might want to check with Samsung

[coarse turtle]

yooo how tf am i supposed to get to authenticator lmao

[wary umbra]

ok im in

[tacit summit]

i do not care if vrchat is slow on my A32, i literally want to launch it for the meme

@swift tokenlet me run vrchat on my goofy ahh poor A32

[coarse turtle]

it restarts when i minimize lol

[brave blaze]

Do you know why the pixel 4xl and pixel 6 (as someone else said earlier) are not currently supported?

[warm crane]

Sorry about that!

[crude temple]

Old phone, older phones have version limiting

[fringe helm]

only 30fps on a pixel 7 pro, weird.

[swift token]

Pixel 6 should be fine, I don't think we're doing device restriction. That's google restricting it.

I dunno how gplay works

[burnt plover]

Heyo i got the App. and how does it works ? Does it show just the Quest Avatars ? or do need upload a different version ?

[nova ravine]

how much is a year sub?

[fervent dirge]

you can limit it by ios version like the youtube app requires ios 13 but my ipad is stuck on 12.7 but i havent seen an app limited by device model

[merry edge]

Is this going to be a normal thing or is there a fix

[tacit summit]

kill google play

[slate loom]

I personally split-screen to get it on my phone, should work fine if it's an option for you!

[swift token]

99.99 USD!

[vast flame]

ive looked at everything, just cant access reaction wheel

[nova ravine]

:/

[vast flame]

dont remember how

[coarse turtle]

s9+ so not an option lol

[jagged meadow]

you're probably on an older android API than what the game is built on

[swift token]

This is normal. You cannot view Very Poor avatars on mobile.

[fervent dirge]

other than lidar enabled apps

[brave blaze]

Strange, someone earlier was saying their pixel 6 is blocked

[merry edge]

Awe

[nova ravine]

Yes there is I have an S9 and it works

[vast flame]

kk

[grizzled gate]

Does vrchat also support huawei?

[crude temple]

I'm not an iOS app developer (nor do I envy them), but just because I think that's a feature, I may be wholly incorrect :)

[burnt plover]

How do i get the Expression Menu in the App ?

[distant lynx]

Pixel 6 here and it allows me to download just fine

[slate loom]

Hold down the Hamburger menu, you can find more specific Controls details here: https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/19659443577491-VRChat-Mobile-Controls

[fervent dirge]

same here

[fringe helm]

can you select people without going to the "whos here" menu?

[nova ravine]

100 a year is REALLY expensive.

[lament chasm]

Hold down on the Menu button at the bottom right and then you can access the Action Menu

[fringe helm]

cant seem to select by tapping someone with menu open

[fervent dirge]

ive heard horror storys

[brave blaze]

Nope, im on android 13 so its not that

[merry edge]

What a disappointment

[lament chasm]

Quick Menu - Dashboard - Select User button

[junior leaf]

This is all very exciting stuff but android vrchat shouldn't be your priorities jesus. Game performance is shit

[real stump]

[brave blaze]

yee

[crude temple]

Side note for staff, not in my self interest but reactions are on

[grizzled gate]

Hail turtle boi

[swift token]

I've just been told we do actually do some device restriction based on RAM amount.

[soft shale]

real!

[supple spruce]

Even though it was mentioned months ago that when the app was probably available anybody can try it. But no I guess that doesn't happen

[swift token]

oh noooooooooooo

[gloomy grotto]

My avatar is technically rated Very Poor but I could still see and use it, is that a bug?

[vast flame]

I joined 4 friends in a movie & chill world wideo player was off, but I got fps ranging from 6-23 lol

Yes, please read the patch notes. That's a known bug, will be fixed later.

[nova ravine]

OK I don't get it, why is it free for quest but we have to have a + membership?

[brave blaze]

4xl has the required ram 🤔 Side note, I did get a friend to snag the APK and it errored so guess doing that doesnt work

[remote temple]

i believe that the app will be available to normal vr chat users and it's still going to be in alpha idk

my acc doesn't exist

[supple spruce]

It says it requires a Plus subscription to use the app which is ridiculous

[swift token]

Please watch the Dev Update video in #announcements .

[grizzled gate]

Interesting question

[remote temple]

nah it helps launching the android market easily without crashing the whole server with a seaful of people

[lament chasm]

That's only required during the testing period. It will be made free to everyone when it's officially released.

[remote temple]

i think

[turbid torrent]

I don't think i can download it

[swift token]

Please view the video in #announcements , we've done this so we don't get bowled over to start, and so we can "slow your roll" and not get overloaded.

[knotty geyser]

You're an interesting question🫵

[tacit summit]

bruh make it an option at least

[supple spruce]

I'm not getting worked up over this. I'm heading out

would there be a future where VRC mobile can be played with one of these?

[wary umbra]

dang this, is nice

[knotty geyser]

How dare you🫵

[tacit summit]

STOP

[brave blaze]

So, since there is a limit based on ram, that apparently is not allowing pixel 4xl with 6 GB ram, it seems the limit being marked at 6 GB is fomewhat false?

yeah👍

[nova ravine]

LMAO A blackberry xD

[tacit summit]

let me play on my blackberry

[brave blaze]

I know why the 4xl is not being allowed to download now, It is reporting to the play store as having less than 6 GB of ram but hardware wise it actually has 6. Unlikely ANY phone with JUST 6 Gb will be able to download it unless it is actually reporting to google play as having 6

[grizzled gate]

Blackberrys are funny for some reason

[nova ravine]

I didn't know people still had that phone

a token is a string of characters used for identification

[crude temple]

Whilst there has been an effort to stop them, I know that crashers do in fact still exist, from the testing within the VRC phone client, will these crashers crash just the app, or the entire phone? Quest (which also runs Android) sometimes shuts down the entire device

[fast acorn]

Yep its working !

Android has no EAC, also it doesn't stop people from Rooting thier android bypassing EAC if any and messing with game files

[lament chasm]

Did you download it through the Google Play store?

[jagged meadow]

yes

[crude temple]

Android can access all quest content (or is expected to bea ble to)

[jagged meadow]

as I have already told you

[fringe helm]

Or just run the Android build on your computer, since Windows 11 natively supports that ;)

[brave blaze]

Pixel 4xl has 6 GB of ram, but ~half a gig is dedicated to the GPU which makes it not compatible with the app due to this, fun fun.

[jagged meadow]

good, there's enough of a lack of performance

[brave blaze]

Though it would likely run fine

[half bay]

how come my phone shows as incompatible on the beta? running android 12

[hybrid tendon]

I will slap you lol XD

[cosmic delta]

android release also accidentally included files which compromised security of vrc gg

[brave blaze]

Not enough ram, what phone?

[hybrid tendon]

Android 13

[dawn zealot]

if/when Iphones are included will we have to build for iOS?

[crude temple]

Should I ask this on the forums instead since it's probably a little too technical for here?

Are gyroscope controls available?

[crude temple]

Ah, I didn't see that in the video.. are all crashers very poor style?

[hybrid tendon]

Do I need to press a special Button to press a ingame Button?

[rocky copper]

definetly not lol

[remote temple]

thanks for the insight on the app 👀

[hybrid tendon]

Iphone 6+ has 982mb of RAM XD

[near lantern]

can't seem to find it

[half bay]

oh, i need 6gb of ram :(

[lament chasm]

As long as you're close enough to it you can tap directly on the button

[crude temple]

Definitely a question that still needs an answer then, going to the ask forums

[rocky copper]

relevant canny https://feedback.vrchat.com/mobile-alpha/p/desperately-need-a-very-poor-allowance-on-mobile

[remote temple]

god is good I'm just in to that rare circle 🙏🙏🙏

[hybrid tendon]

Tried but nothing

[half bay]

i have my old note 8 i can use ig lol 🥹

[brave blaze]

Yep thats why, they limited it to require 6 GB to download, and my phone (That has 6 Gb but reports 5.4 due to GPU) is also not compatible

[hybrid tendon]

I'm using the Note 20 Ultra 5G

[remote temple]

you can add an external few gigabytes from your storage to your RAM, can't you?

[keen crow]

Your welcome and I have the samsung galaxy s22 ultra

[pearl mulch]

no

[tacit summit]

make it avalible for bad phones pls

[brave blaze]

Never tried that, If you know how to do that dm me lmao

[thick prairie]

that’s a possibility?? how does one do this

[crude temple]

download more

[remote temple]

well I got +2 GB somehow, and I'm a Xiaomi user

[sinful tide]

Tried joining on Bluestacks (an Android emulator for Windows) I kept getting 'Failed to join instance. Integrity check failed' after logging in. I'm wanting to test how my world works on Android, but my actual phone isn't compatible with the alpha. Anyone know a solution or is bluestacks just incompatible with VRChat?

[lament chasm]

Which world are you testing? The creator might need to update their UI.

[late plaza]

so i cant jump. i tap the icon but nothing happens. and yes, i can usually jump in this world i'm in.

[jagged meadow]

I'm having the same issue on a real phone so

[marsh plover]

I couldn't even download

[remote temple]

I think it depends on what phone you have.

[rain vault]

Current vrchat on mobile seems to work very well, but it is a bit unfortunate that the mic on my bluetooth headphones are not being used yet. Will support for other inputs come soon?

[hybrid tendon]

This is my own created world

[fringe helm]

i'm gonna run the android build on my pc, copying over the files rn ;)

[lusty hazel]

Adjusting sliders is pain xD

[rain vault]

Also, sometimes audio will just break. Anyone else aware?

[remote temple]

it's possible on MIUI idk about other brands

[rocky copper]

yeah a option to just bring back the pointer instead would be nice

[remote temple]

just like on PC, good times

[wet pecan]

See the release notes. There are known issues with Bluetooth headsets at the moment.

[lusty hazel]

there is

[rocky copper]

oh shit really?

myb

[mortal solstice]

I cant show anyone's avatars D: even people with quest uploaded avatars

[rain vault]

Ah, okay. Loving it so far though, atleast audio works through bluetooth headphones.

[hybrid tendon]

I'm using the Basic Unity Toggle Local Side function for the button

[lusty hazel]

On PC I can just press Tab

[marsh plover]

Can you tell me which settings you use to get it to download on Bluestacks?

[crude temple]

I was completely unaware that RAM extensions were a thing..

[sick zephyr]

how do you access the radial menu?

[remote temple]

ye I think the program changed a lot since 2019

[half bay]

thanks for the info!

[remote mesa]

Long press the menu button.

[lament chasm]

Hold the Menu button at the bottom right, then tap on Action Menu

[wet pecan]

Tap and hold the menu button at the bottom right.

[viral pulsar]

Must be nice. My phone isnt compatable. :/

[sick zephyr]

ah nice thanks

[thick prairie]

ah, apparently mine’s already on. still not enough unfortunately, only 5 gb

[remote temple]

:(

[sinful tide]

I found it easiest to first sign into the playstore on Bluestacks, then on your PC, go to #announcements , click the link to download it, then on the Playstore website click 'Install' then select your bluestacks device. Double check your Bluestacks is Android 11 (10 might also work but idk)

[remote temple]

my condolences

[rain vault]

Will we be able to atleast have a option to enable very poor avis? Atleast put a warning before it saying "enabling these avatars is a risky move and can cause performance loss" or something like that

Upvoted

[supple spruce]

Huh

[jagged meadow]

congrats you downloaded an apk ?

[undone zephyr]

Can you not turn off "Block poorly optimized avatars"? Even ones that can show on quest can't on this

[native igloo]

We will have nice fallback system with nice shader so less likely I think.

[undone zephyr]

trying to use one of Mai's avis

[pearl mulch]

basically very poor avatars don't exist on the Android build

[rain vault]

I have a powerful phone, what if vrchat just detects your device and allows it if it's a high end phone, like a s23 ultra for example?

[remote temple]

well, can't wait to try it out, but gotta wait.
see y'all sometime

[rocky copper]

unless your wearing them, then youll see them in mirrors

[marsh plover]

Not compatible. Even tho I have 8 GB selected

[pearl mulch]

even the high-end phones at the moment would choke on some of the stuff people upload that's very poor

[rain vault]

I'd still love it as a option to enable them though

Atleast with a warning in place before enabling it fully

Would be lovely

I understand trying to keep it optimized, but atleast default off. And it being in options as a optional setting with a warning in place explaining it can hurt performance would be nice

[brave blaze]

This is possible in certain circumstances

[hybrid tendon]

I got it working by setting controls from direct aim to Rectangle aim then a extra Button appears for Button pressing

[sinful tide]

Strange. Just to double check, you're using Android 11 on bluestacks right? I'm using bluestacks 10, 4 cores, and 8GB of ram and it's compatible for me. If you're already using that version/settings, then not sure what's causing it to be incompatible :(

[crude temple]

They're talking about size, 318mb is quite big for an app, average for a fully fledged game

[cedar wadi]

Anyone else have a really quiet mic on the alpha?

[undone zephyr]

Just used kronk on mobile, life is complete.

[remote mesa]

This is a known issue.

[crude temple]

Did you perchance go to a world with a lever?

[cedar wadi]

Ah awesome, just confused a bunch of people demanding to know why I had an "Android" tag XD

[fringe helm]

let's see how this goes :)

[pearl mulch]

Sony would not allow that

[fringe helm]

💞

[frosty cape]

I'm on mobile just to try it

[lilac tinsel]

It's going to be a lot of work for any other platform that doesn't run on PC or Android

[coarse turtle]

mic audio is pretty choppy but other then that runs pretty damn well

[pulsar plaza]

is it possible to get VRC android work on my 5GB phone?

[coarse turtle]

and plus side you can cook an egg on your phone!

[undone zephyr]

Running Mobile for about 20 mins, 67% to 32%, good god
