lil bro watches andrew tate and eats lunch
it may or may not be a military dude throwing it back but it is relevant
🏳️⚧️
and everyone here just contributed to given him more of a reason to take the red pill
what </3
This just means "your/you" 

what flag is that and why are all the cute girls from there
Guys, no more eating lunch, only alphas do that, we’re a breakfast and dinner household here (/j)
all girls cute
Thy are thou prettiest
hi trixxed
They got catgirls fr fr
this is also true!
Wokeness wont stop me from playing with my friends. Dont care if its woke as long as its fun. Truth be told, i love vrchat.
Why have girl, when can have MAN
Every time there's a camera update, of which there have been many lately, I sink into my seat hoping that we'll be able to have a head-rotation follow for the camera UI like the Personal Mirror can.
It never happens.
-# If I mess it up maybe she’ll think I’m cute
u got me fucked up
already had one of those for like 24 years i dont need another one
Based
because girl better then man
to be fair we DID try explaining. Someone who sits there and continues being hostile and attacking people over something like that.... not really much hope here for it.
the vr mind virus is much more deadly just look at the average vrchat playtime
they wouldn't have changed their mind anyways
Oh fairs then
protect the dolls 🫡
and they diiiiiiiiiiiiid play the mental illness card
not me 🤨 i was asking nicely
The what who huh
People complaining about pronouns being in VRChat, one of the most social games ever, thats crazy!!! They wouldnt care at the end of the day though
hand over all the bunny girls 
Also fun fact, while a lot of media portrays thou/thy/etc as fancy, it was the opposite. They were informal or casual forms of the commonplace you/etc we have now

pog/gers
Ill say this, i hate wokeness. Those people feel like... Jerks. DEI is just another word for Fuck you.
This has been your free lesson in archaic English, thanks for coming to my ted talk
you see pronouns are clearly the downfall of all civilization. It's Wrong and Against Nature and my parents told me so. /j

well things might seem a little different when its literally everyone else in the chatroom turning their heads and speaking to you

Do a talk on wherefore and its misinterpretations of meaning!
my parents never lied about anything, Santa Claus always brought me my presents.
what da dog doin
ur so real
$100 entry fee
i never trurn when u speak
cuz i HATE u
Generally this server isn't the best place to be teaching someone any better in the first place.
vrchat add new update/features -> everyone that mirror dwells blames Tupper -> everyone rushes to discord to voice their hatred to Tupper -> everyone goes back to mirror dwells and forgets about the update/feature
Nooooo, I can’t afford that…
update is gonna cuase a lot of drama, of the good kind though, as this will weed out people who are too insensitive to respect others 
youll turn when i twist ur neck
true lets kill bedhair
im gonna fight u
oh yeah im sure blackcat will be back to its regular state in like 12 hrs lol
2v1?
im like an owl twisting my neck will only give me more fov
I'm betting on 2
an orange car sacrifice will bring peace to the universe
3 take it or leave it
ok two it is
Mirror Dwellers sit on TikTok all day and have subway surfers on the background, their attention span is net nothing
me!
Imagine going into a black cat, could never be me
minus the mirror dwelling
peace is stagnation
and 10 times the subway surfer
we do not want peace
war.
Entropy
i go for the sheer chaos
Can we talk about the crashers that are coming into Cards against Humanity and ruining games? I've reported over like 10 people in the past few days
I'm going to war on myself so I can make progress
its botha mix of chill people sitting in front of a mirror with music louder than voices around them, or the complete opposite, the screaming player with the most insane avatars you could think of
You see what I do is I do that thing on Steam where you can pin a window over your game and make it transparent and put on baby sensory videos on full screen while I play warframe
You’re made of sterner stuff than I am, I loiter in JBC instances instead
i got to black cat to obvserve
well i mean i have to be in the black cat observing mood
im like the camera man for the earth documentaries
Going to the black cat is like going on a safari
I should do this, get my vrclens avi, and just observe from a distance
Hey
i literally got crashed within 5 minutes of joining my friend in a black cat
flying around my drone and just hitting people in the face
how can i fix the error that says "error couldnt load video"
this is a recent issue
what platform, youtube has been taking efforts to block the youtube downloader that vrchat uses
Tell it to behave
pcquest
yeah....................................................
pc with quest link you mean?
what is this "ewok mind virus" everyone is talking about these days?
do they not like star wars that much?
well i went to analog horror (a world that has tapes built into it that loads videos"and it doesnt load up it says an error and it has for a few days
Just hit myself in the face with my choker, am now sad
Lmao
turn everyone into robots
ive tried verifying the integrity of vrc and deleting and reinstalling it still didnt work
nah
then simply restart ur mf game
i did
it is a side effect of observing
idk if itsx because of the recent dev update or not but it hasnt been working yk
theyre referring to the phenomenon where people play vrchat for 40+ hours a week ❤️
being shot in the face but 50 million particles
then joined a friends+ :)
frog
avatars arent even the cause of some crashing, to say! its very likely people doing shit with udon
is that the case now
Also wait I just noticed your pfp, it’s miss Fuuka “Lemons?” Yamagishi, I love it
im old its been a while
5 billion polygon poptart avatar
i luv fuuka
is the new update on steam yet i dont see it
the 2 trillion poly rusk avatar dream is dead
blender was not a fan
the prodigal son returns
now film yourself punching it multiple times over 😄
lisan al gaib
punt it
He needs a shower
He smells like syrup
Why are you dunking him in syrup, stop that, do not the rat
waterboarding the spy
Make it smell like cheese
in all honesty crashers still find a way to make their avatars below very poor and have been crashed on mobile too for that matter and my theory is they hide it in a seemingly optimized particle count, hope vrchat can look into this
Look at this fat ass giant morbidly obese rat
fill with milk and throw
i remember it used to be shaders that would do a lot of it
but on mobile idk how it works anymore
chat
my knowledge has been degraded by the unrelenting and brutal march of time
Zoey Green
should i hack my neighbours and turn their router into a MITM proxy?
If you find an avatar like that (with an ID, or having logs from a session), please do report on canny!
Yes.
Do it
This sounds illegal.
Do it.
People have him already how
NOOOO
why have u done this.
im bored
The booooy has arrived.
hello bored
I'll ask them to sign a legal waver first
Moon possessed me
you monster
Yes the good stuff
anyone else getting outdated errors?
Evil monster
Does anyone have both vrcat and vrrat plushes and taken pictures yet
The man behind the slaughter!!!
I have both.
well in this case a woman
ok time to go play the big thighs lady good day chat
I’d punt it but it’s hot outside, I’m sick and I hate germs
I haven't taken a picture of them both in the same picture but can when I get home.
…as in you’re in an outdated instance or something like that? Because I’d update your game and see if that fixes it
can you throw it against ur wall
wow you all are so supportive
When I’m back home
The irony of "anti-woke" people playing a game very clearly made by a ton of queer people and getting mad about it is hilarious.
i checked it says im on the latest version
Not all heroes wear capes
2025.2.1?
instead of it u should throw bedhair against the wall
What version are you on? 👀
i thought this convo died 5 mins ago 😭
No shit
just doing my duty o7
2015.0.1
....... How?
I have an attention span longer than you
bros on unity 5
Isn't that the literal first build? 👀
u sure?
my attention span is super long, 3 seconds
will do. I already reported that user long ago when I encountered them. it was in a public of course, but they were wearing a bot with a purple bandana I saw as an imposter before they tried the one that doesn't need to be shown since it's not very poor, and they were invisible while I got a few more frames before the app just crashed
show me your phone screentime immediately
Theres a butterfly somewhere in your room. Catch it for us
He’s literally huge compared to me
sorry i zoned out whatd u say
attack on titan
i have the pineapple ready, i hid it in a zyxel router
the what?
wifi pineapple, its a fancy router that acts funny
People online are weird, why’d I just have someone comment on my nails after seeing a post that only has them in very briefly, and told me I may have a heart condition
its used to look for issues in networks or... hacking fur sillies :3
is there a way to like, unupdate my game?
was about to hop on a game and now I gotta wait for a good instance 😑
archives
or steam
Or just wait. 👀
updoot
waiting for a terrors instance to get good emeralds ready for midnights takes forever XD
sadly i cant see the new update on steam, idk why, maybe i have already
restart steam
i did
The update rolls out gradually.
You can't for the specific reason that it would make updated instances take even longer.
true
I play on the laptop 💻
Christ almighty pronouns
People on the old version will be more pressured to leave as their instances start getting emptier
still no update and yes i restarted steam
Not to be offensive or anything but people need to get their asses outta their heads and grow up outta this pronoun stuff
🤓
baja blast
hi, i also got that "update your game "popup when trying to join a friend, but can't see any update on steam
Just wait. Like I said, the update rolls out gradually.
pronouns are a very real thing 😭
Try restarting Steam, sometimes it takes a bit
be careful or u gonna get urself kicked
🤔
everyone has pronouns it came free with your fucking being alive
their
Steam is notorious for not pushing updates on some titles...like if Darktide has to update, I have to manually restart Steam fully to make it go.
but what if you are a alien
what gender alien are you
the reliable they/them fallback:
the fox kind
he/she if you know it
they if you dont know it
foxes have genders
thankfully this community is usually quite caring and mindful of others, but please be aware that if you start dogwhistling so hard that the corgi a neighborhood over starts whining, i've asked the mods to give in to the dark thoughts and swing their hammers freely 
so what kind of fox alien
when will there be pronoun impostors just like fallbacks
HI SACH
What we up to, lovely people? 
HI TUPPER ❤️
Things going much better these days, sry about the whole meltdown thing. 🤣
did vr chat break, asking me to update but no update when i exit game
don't even think about apologizin bud
creating new pronouns like this new one i thought up where you yell instead of saying th epersons name
what makes blendshapes move? do the polygons move it ??? bc im about to do uv editing and i dont wanna mess up
glad things are going well
AHHH
but can I set it to deez/nuts
hello the sache, was concerned where u went, great hearing you are doing better.
surprisingly effective
this is friendship ❤️
missed hearing your lectures on nachos
people will probably call you deez but no one stops you
This upd fucked up my avatars my avatars have black squares on it and stuff like that
rough year, but there was more going on than that. Finally discovered the...I guess core issue, and things are improving greatly. 😄
yell NUTS when anyone says it
that already happens
Wallmart bags of the world, rise up! 
maybe dont try to bypass the vrchat shaders then
LOL shader issue
what platform
what counts as bypassing them
what is "bypassing" vrchat shaders...
Quest
blendshapes are basically "relative offsets" stored per vertex. So if a blendshape offsets a vert, that vert stores something like (-1,0,0) for that shape and the skinning pass during the shader offsets the vert by that amount.
That being said, UVs are a different type of data, so modifying UVs should not affect blendshape data
Energy taken, I lay back down naow
bypassed shader
when you try to illegally modify it to let you use ones not allowed by vrchat
Think she means "bypassing the guardrails".
If you really want to force an update, you can uninstall VRChat on steam and re-install.
😀
vrchat mobile can only use Matcap Lit, Toon Lit, and Standard Lite on avatars
I havent done that i dont know how
Should I punt vrrat at my poster wall (my only available wall)
wgat
That's probably cause people tried to get transparency on quest shaders which isnt allowed. It causes baaaad performance and isnt supported.
what? i can use particles on mine
😀
not counting the particles on avatars but the avatars themselves i should disclose
As mentioned in the patchnotes and patchnote video, we found that some Quest avatars were employing trickery to do things they weren't allowed to do. We fixed that trickery, so now, as an unfortunate side effect, some Quest avatars might have black squares. The author has to fix it.
Sorry about that!
yeah i use that wheever i need to
wdym? i used the additive and multiply particles for certain textures, will that break?
I'm not sure why blendshapes store data for verts that don't move. I feel like... just don't include the data...? But I'm no expert on graphics.
I don't know the exact changes myself, it might affect those, yes.
aw man
what to do if in the new update my avatar and avatars of my friends are higher than they see me, in other words, disynchronization.
yeah mine is helicopter XP
I noticed that there were multiple bugs with textures, where would I submit these?
I dunno if they do or don't, that's really up to whatever standard spec exists

I've heard that's why you want to split up meshes sometimes even though it may up your rating
this isn't a thing
XD
Those might not be bugs. If you're on Quest and you are seeing "black squares" where previously you had transparent textures, that is not a bug, that is an intended change.

can someone help me with the eyebrows on a vroid avatar? i need them to be light but the additive makes it glow
it's an inanimate object, with no sentience, pick something else
That's more or less what additive means. Why do you want them additive? What are you trying to do?
I feel so bad for tupper/strasz for having to endure hurtful words and yelling by man-children who cannot bear seeing someone represent their true identity
you need to make it not transparent
Hey Adeon, do you want me to send you a pic of both Cat and Rat together?
its imported from vroid, i was taught that additive makes stuff transparent 😔
idk if messing with the uv editing will mess up the blendshapes or not
hey tupper im getting this outdated lobbies did yall update?
Everyone in my lobby 20 people have different avatars and different creators and they all are broke,Black boxes and stuff
Less of black squares, more so textures that were previously semitransparent now being opaque, and the robot that shows when you hide an avi glowing green.
neither additive or multiply are actually transparent technically
It is much better that we tank it than community members tank it. People should always be allowed to be who they want to be.
ik but they fix my issues
and my friends are getting they arent updated
"What's update"
"My name's not Date, and im fine"
Yeah, that's the same thing. The black squares are just one type of symptom, it might show up as something else. Transparency isn't permitted on avatars on Quest.
Additive is the method of color mixing. If you want transparent, just use standard. (unless you're on quest - in which case - transparency is a bug, and will probably be fixed soon if not already)
Though what about the other issue?
I volunteer myself to be a hate target since I can actually take it/ignore it
My friend cant see any steam updates
We did update! Please check #announcements . This is a network incompatible update, which means that we have to split up users between old and new users. Sometimes we have to do this in order to avoid network problems.
Please ask your friend to restart steam. If that doesn't work, give it an hour -- Steam might be having some minor issues at the moment.
My pronouns are Fe/Fi/Fo/Fom
if I went 1 day as a community manager of any kind I'd probably go insane before lunchtime
Actually - there's staff here. Is Additive shader allowing transparency on quest avatars an accident or not? Before I start repeating the wrong thing.
Restarting your PC is also an option, although kinda the nuclear one.
@patent jungle Just in case you didn't catch it.
nah you should restart your house breakers
nah restart your entire cities power station
If I recall correctly, it is permitted specifically for the purposes of particle usage
beat saber :0
I do, yes! I'm going to share them with other groups.
if i also recall correctly, they could only be uploaded when on particles, weird
yeah the SDK enforcement is a little jank due to Unity limitations
(again, that's just what I'm pulling out of my brain, i might be wrong)
we love speculation
What's everyone's favourite avatar to use
The one i made 
ones with polygons and especially materials
o.o
worm
I like avatar that have colors and meshes
@lucid wave cool
vr one
I love using a bunch of characters from things I like
valve index
google cardboard
lowkey kinda fire

"My own personal avatar" is what everyone's going to say. But if you want a public row choice. Probably the otter!
yeah AHHHHHHHH HAAAHAHAAA AHHHHH wants to play
This nice combination
ROBOT
:<
:3
egirl avatars are the best
@tranquil hamlet cool 😎
rusty pete,?
we love Robot Kyle
The Professional Nouns!
if pronouns are so good where are amateur verbs?
I like the avatar I kitbashed. :)
hi my name s lexi i lk to pl vrchat and dr

Egirl avatars are so boring so often
just make it one syllable
Ah yes how dare you find a way to make quest avis even remotely like pc ones. Shame on you
None of my avis use that but still this seems a bit overboard
womp
the limits are in place for performance reasons. even 20k polygons on quest avatars is a generous gift
i mean its not that expensive to buy a pc/laptop that can run quest link
Converbs @quick ravine
"The limits" haven't changed since quest 1. It's handholding.
if I may ask, why are yall doing this? what's so bad about it? quest avatars did that for a reason since we can't even have transparency at all on quest shaders. my novabeast quest avatar I bet uses that same process too, so now that's probably gonna change too when I update.
Quest 1 gameplay used to be akin to watching a slide show every time something more exciting then a light breeze happened.
Hey! brand new here, entered the vrc discord cuz I want to look for someone that would like to purchase the recent UDCAP gloves... I got them but that was after I was able to get my full set up with the PN3 mocap suit so now I just have something that i'm not gonna be using at all
if there are pronouns where is my casual nouns
the limits were overboard on quest 1!
keep in mind vrchat decided these limits for 40 player instances with all avatars loaded. they are targeting 72fps on quest 3 before they start experimenting. (speculation)
? edit: just realized it was someone else lol
are they seriously just trying to limit us as mch as possible on quest? lol
most quest user despite the limits in place already still crash/lag alot already
performance reasons
how does transparency affect that though I want to understand
yes, because people complain about crashing on quest a lot
the quest now has to calculate the color of anything under a polygon as well as render the polygon on top, costing a LOT of gpu time
did you modify the sdk? if yes then your materials are reset
if you didnt then nothing will happen
I don't know the reason why, but that's what the general sentiment is amongst devs and people who work with android systems.
It's specifically because people were bypassing transparency permissions on Quest via exploits. Overall the reason is performance though and more specifically people using these bypasses in malicious way such as making others lag out etc.
So again blame the people who abused it.
i don't know the exact reasoning for it, but transparency is actually pretty costly for performance, believe it or not
I didn't modify the sdk, but I thought it was affecting all sorts of transparency like using the particle shaders or something to achieve transparency
Yeah transparency has always been costly for VR
particle shaders arent functionally actual transparency
this was patched i believe
Some game/VR renderers just don’t support layered transparency and you won’t see anything other than the first transparent object you see
edit your model to have the transparent parts physically cut out
There is a system to mitigate it! Safety exists to pick how much performance you want to use up but 10mb and a billion other restrictions on top of taking what few tools existed is just them gimping anyone who can't afford a proper pc!
was waiting for this argument
saftey settings will not deter a malicious user asking someone to unhide their avatar. crash roulette is seriously so irritating on android
just saying my friend went out of his way to make that shader for my novabeast to have transparency on the goggles on quest and now it's just going to waste now if that doesn't work anymore
not everything needs to be about optimization, literally my phone has no trouble with it
Erm, people do things for VRC that aren’t actually supported all the time…
you do realize that modifying the sdk or client in general no matter the reason is against tos entirely
be glad your ass didnt get permanently banned for it
please rethink if you should keep your avatar android compatible if transparency is a deal breaker, please. pc only is genuinely okay!, just have a good fallback in place
So when is that update that changes vrchats audio system too steam VR audio or whatever it is too make it sound more emersive and clear and all that??
breaking tos is not a tool
It’s been in steam beta rn
already out on iOS! not sure about live, but theres a steam audio beta on pc
They talk about it in #open-beta-announcements and #open-beta-discussion
What was that stuff about ONSP not being supported on iOS? So the update basically just added Spatial Audio in general then? 🤔
i.... ask a yellow username
Yes, in a way, Steam Audio was necessary for releasing iOS in general. So it was a big deal!
Oop the great yellow user is here
Uhm guys question
(But it's still in beta on most platforms)
many people are here to answer
It needs no modifications the hell are you white nighting for?
in order to bypass the shader restrictions to add transparency required modifying the sdk
read the docs! additive and multiply are allowed on particles only. even if uploadable via sdk bug, its still not allowed
What can you tell us about these gloves good sir @exotic wren
id poke at #full-body-tracking

no you can use the particle shaders for stuff its just not actually transparency at least in the same way that actual transparency on shaders
I feel like that’s classified as an ad cuz they’re asking to sell something to someone on this server 👀
it would
#vrchat-general-1 message confusing to think about
Okay uhm I keep having this weird issue on VRC or maybe it's my VR headset... It keeps saying "There has been an issue" or smth like this "You don't have any memories" so how can I fix that issue?
on quest?
true but iirc it just wouldnt render anything at all or render incorrectly
unusual
#1138891887374237706, post a screenshot.
On vrc
it certainly wouldnt be a part of the update that causes transparency to become black or opaque
thats an entirely separate thing
Damn arty beat me

I can't
Why not?
My dad won't let me in vrc

I'll ask
👀
Im surprised people arent being banned more often for trying to modify the sdk
you have another problem to fix first 🔨 but, try freeing up some space by deleting apps you dont use is my best guess
i remember that huuuuge ripping ban wave earlier last year, possibly related?
Think they had a whole ban wave a while ago adressing modded SDK usage.
not in the slightest

Doze nuts
My gf is watching something saying autism breakdowns are mentally triggered by the same hormone that causes breakdowns from periods
??????
It’s just interesting af to me
I like the idea that I’ve experienced something that could be considered similar to how women feel with periods because I hate that I can’t understand that pain smh
can a nitro booster post that dumbass cat breakdancing
Anyone here plays dnd
Nono give us the rat dance mhm
That’s so real ngl
i luv dnd
No
you ever torsioned?
do not speak of the forbidden pain.
Torqued
i cast
you ever just get rotated
toothpick under toenail!
I cast inverted bullocks
I actually don’t think I have and I’m dreading the idea that every man experiences it once
i mean not necessarily
if you experience it then you got a pretty good idea
🐸
Is this… coming from experience?

-# ima have to start checking bios before I say shit like that, I feel dumb
Because I wanted it to be
Caps dont do it
It’s for my sheepish moments
i would rather die standing than live kneeling
-# ᵇᵃˡˡˢ
Hmm
close enough and especially when describing the pain got told it sounded like it by my mother so probably?
gotta switch monitors
what do u guys think of oculus rift s?
It sure is a vr headset
Ayo I wanna do that, is that special text from an app or what 👀
Very meh.
I meant overally for a cheap headset
It was very short lived and can have issues with certain USB controllers
Robo Mic issue is still stuck in everyones head to this day 
And it also takes so long to unpack the avatars my friends are wearing or keep changing into, it also kicks me from a world and idk if this is what it says but yuh "You don't have enough storage." And my dad said I could get on to take a picture and a video of the issue I am having.
I am kinda ineterested in gettin a headset but I don't want to spend too much either
Quest 2 is about the bottom of the barrel you want to pick up
stay away from CV1, Rift S, Quest 1, HTC Vive.
-# 😑
So do u guys know what is the cause or how I fix it?
...How old are you that you need your father's permission to play VRC? Out of curiosity.
good to know, I kinda see just these on 2nd hand
☠️
most of them are like 100
cus no one who knows what they are doing wants those
fr, get the Oculus DK1
is it just me or is the update not on steam yet?
Fair, but especially the Rift S was really not well even in it's alive time.
yeahhhhhhhhhhh
oh oh oh
soo what are your suggestions?
guys is udon 2 out yet or should i go back to sleep
The only thing that you can really recommend to people is a Quest 3s. I wouldn't go any cheaper than that.
restart steam
For around 200 bucks
so new update broke servers or?
The thing is that most likely I'll get bored also
What is your computer's specs?
still nothing
mb i broke the server
Nope, everything should work!
vrchat tells me i need to update to join a public world but there is no new upate
3060 and 5600X3D
you need to actually restart steam not just close it via the x
16gb ram?
me and my friends are all updated cant join eachother
i broke the servers because my VRRat plushie hasn't arrived yet
yup
They need everyone to do update it
yeah i did that
What does it say when they try to join you?
That's very low end but should be vr entry usable specs.
outdated
certified frog react
Artemus got one and he’s cursed as hell
chonky
Well the instance or their client?
idek how the headsets work n stuff
Bro looks mutated
ngl thinking about the webcam face tracking stuff in VRChat, will we have the option to use other face tracking tools in the game in the future?
RTX Broadcast's face stuff is kinda nuts even though it's a little demanding
Cause depending on that either you or they aren't actually up to date.
instance is jsut default homeworld cant join anyoen and no one can join us and we are all updated
i got same issue
RTX Broadcast has face tracking?
they already are technically supported if you do it through osc
yeah, it's raw asf actually but you need an RTX GPU to use it
Chat so active rn
this update not being compatible with other updates is leading the the worst communication between my friends I’ve seen ever 😭
Arvin, you forgor again. 
face tracking and it's been added to VTube studio as a tracking option if you want to test it
We try to not have updates be network incompatible whenever we can. It used to happen a lot more regularly that updates would be network incompatible. Sorry for the inconvenience 
There are two kinds of error messages:
- If the error message says that the instance is out of date the people in the instance aren't up to date.
- If the error message says that your client is out of date then you are the one not up to date.
You don't need to switch of open beta, it's up to date with live!
To force update your client on Steam you can:
- restart Steam OR
- Verify the game files by: right clicking on VRChat > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files
To update on Quest: (I'm unaware of a way to force it directly)
- exit VRChat
- open the Store page of VRChat and see if you can update it
- if that doesn't help try restarting your quest
Why did you add a limit on camera distance? wait, I know, it's to prevent people from peeking on others from afar, but the change is annoying
My right rotator cuff got very angery reading these words 🤣
What about quest bc I haven’t had a prompt, on beta btw
twisted u might say
the current beta isn't compatible
whynot just turn the servers off and onn again to amke everyoen update lol
Caemra position is also reset on changing worlds. That annoyed me as well. These chanes make taking good images a little more of a pain
Omw to pull the cable
It's on steam, not vrc.
ie. Steam is what controls those update pushes.
if you make everyoen log out theyll ahve to relaunch and isntall the update
Because the updates dont push for everyone at once and also the experience would be a lot worse forcing people offline in the middle of their conversations etc.?
cant have wrenches ig
People can choose to hop off and update if they want to.
bro what
That sounds like a horrible idea 
What if I wanna hop on then update, will I explode?
It is.
Likely.
Uh oh
yeah but me and my friends are all updated and cant join eachother no matter how many times we restart im re isntalling now to try that
Whatever yall did withis update forked everything
I wouldnt try it out
All public VRChat versions are up to date and compatible with each other. Even the open beta.
Guys I exploded
#open-beta-announcements assuming you auto-updated
Define "everysthing" 
Noé?
Maybe I was unclear, lemme try this another way:
Steam, is the service which distributes updates for games on the service, like VRChat. If Steam receives an update from VRChat and then does not update users' clients unless they force-restart Steam itself, then booting everyone out of VRChat will have the single accomplishment of pissing off thousands of people at once, while also not solving the problem.
Try restarting your quest? Forcing a game to update on Quest is a bit more annoying.
Everyday the world gives me a sign to continue that anime…
VRchat is telling me that I need to update, but there's no update?
im not on quest?
Steam moment.
What that guy said my friend moved to beta back to main and still no update
try restarting steam / your headset if on quest
Restart everything
Playing some VR right now
restart steam 
Did you read this post then?
Hey Doc, what's your stance on ReShade? 
Hi Sache did you see what I did to that rat
appearently some worlds kick with "unusual client behaviour" even when someone with the update makes an instance and another person on the same version joins
(I love the rat and apologized immediately)
wdym with what's my "stance" on it? Stance on what specifically?
Technically TOS also reshade on VRChat seems so weird of an idea
no and i wont look because im trying to keep liking u 🤣
It’s okay I love the rat and gave him a big hug after
reshade on vrchat ah yes give us even shittier frame rates
hu
I just very slightly smack
hi
I can tell you that unless you're getting it for free, the headset you should avoid like it's actually going to kill you is the HTC Vive Cosmos. (Non-elite version)
I had one as my first headset and it's not fun to use, as the tracking is purely camera based you gotta set up definite items and patterns in your space for the thing to not lose tracking and the headset also just sucks in general even it it did work properly due to the fact that the headset relies on lights within the visible spectrum to work, so you can't play in the dark or in the bright.
It sucks lmao
He’s in his happy home with all my plushies in the dedicated plushy corner
does reshade even impact fps all too much?
VR freezes a lot more lately
ig 150 bucks for quest 2 is ok?
My VRRat should arrive by friday
Look at #general-media.
already did, no update
Mine just came 2 hours ago!!! I was so excited
Nice!
how much can you find a new one for? used headsets can be pretty gross
I’m sick but I actually squeeled when I got him out of the lil bag
Mine came yesterday. :>
make sure to turn of beta branch if you had that enabled
seems re installing the whole game fixes whatever the current issue is
The beta is up to date with live.
I see~
The little makeship bags are so cute
I'm not using any beta, I tried to join a group instance and it tells me that the instance is on a newer version, but there's no update available
normal open beta is network incompatible though? unless i'm managing to read it wrong
a lot of people of my group have that problem right now
No it's on the same build on live.
What platform are you on?
which
TBF the way anti-cheat friendly Reshade works (which is the default reshade that gets installed when it's a game w/ an anticheat like EAC) is just an overlay so it's not anything different from having the Steam Overlay or the Discord Overlay
PC, Index
@real olive if you guys are on stream try restarting Steam entirely and it usually acquires missing VRC updates
They need to make a new instance

which I already did, and it didn't find any
Have you tried to follow these steps?
#vrchat-general-1 message
can not join my friend and I had restarted my quest beforehand and verified im on the most recent build
idk new ones I can see just in stores and kinda are like the double of what I can afford
F
Bro this update sucks
Like, using game capture in OBS would be considered against TOS atp
how much you got saved rn?
i cant load my game i just sit in the blue void forever is there any fix or what
Anyone else’s avatars all super fucked up now?
Does it have black spots?
Idk I'd give 250/300 if new at most since most likely I'll get bored quickly
Where can I sell some vr trackers I wanna get rid of? I think it breaks a rule here but same with Reddit lol.
dont use bypasses to try and give your avatars stuff you arent allowed to have to begin with
they got rid of cutout and transparency on quest
Are you on Quest and were the things that are broken used to be transparent?
SlimeVR server prob or eBay/facebook marketplace
FB Marketplace, eBay, OfferUp, etc.
tuff
patched would be the better word
I’m not a creator so relax.
It was never intended to be there in the first place, people used work arounds to get around the limitations.
but avatars look butt now
skill issue
I am quest but these are public Avis I use so I’m not sure
what is the price difference between the 2 and the 3S in your region?
would be worth getting that if the prices are close enough
Surely there will be a fix for ts
3S can also work in the dark which is raw asf
If it wasn't intended to begin with and was the result of unsupported methods or workarounds, I wouldn't wait for a fix.
In that case they were probably using work arounds to get transparency to work on Quest. Those have now been blocked by VRChat.
There’s no fix for a fix for a hack lol
the update was a fix for the bypasses so the uploaders now need to actually use what was allowed instead of trying to bypass it
It's avatar sounds all over again. "Bring them back!" "They never existed in the first place."
You losing your transparency was the fix
%100✅
It's always the same 

nevermind found one
This update broke tracking bruh
people already have and been banned
WOKE chat!!!!!!!!!!! >:(((((((( vrchat gone WOKE!!!!!!!
surely that won't happen with a setting to disable them on your end
my only complaint with the update is its a nice second status field that is used by 50% for non pronounce stuff
i mean its the same as discord in that sense
on vrc i also threw my age in there
I mean let people be dip shits
just easier to block people if they are that much of a problem
tupper put micro chip in the vaccine to make everyone woke pronounce,
people should complain about real VRChat issues like how the game should have had orange menus and transition screens instead of blue ones
tuppnouns >:(((((
down with tuppnouns
orange is a shittier color
HEY
banned
no orange slander!
just spill orange juice on your screen, problem solved

this guy thinks orange is annoying
Orange is best
say that again
🍊 hey apple
Any and all, especially the one that came with the rat
we dont talk about the thing that shouldnt have become a tv show
I had a blue one from when I got a tricky plush but I think that’s gone
grandpa lemon the goat 🐐 🍋
it’s the same thing with discord so im already used for the pronoun section to be used for things not relating to pronouns in the slightest
tbf i tought there was going to be a lot of angry ppl because of the transparency thingy but i'm glad there isn't (for now)
wat/da/tuna
Give it time.
I’ve seen at least 3 if not more people complain in the last hour
Time... Dr. Freeman?
let the people be angry and bitch about it
its funny
0.0f/0.0f
the NaN in nanachi
crikey
Thats what i dont like about the feature its for pronounce but so many people use it for other stuff it wasent intended for so it should be called a second status field instead by this point in my mind
is anyone havin trouble with fbt
im gonna check how the pronoun field looks in-game to see if I can use it as a blank spot on my profile card for more funny
if the field is labelled it's not as useful to me sadly
tbf i have no clue why the pronouns field is 32 characters max
you could probably bring that down to 16
does it not get hidden after like 10 characters?
yeah

32 characters max so I can write "I can see you!" in that spot instead of my pronouns
Oh shit! A Parz! 
It's primary use if for pronounce, hence the name. It needs to allow custom input as you can't cover every languages pronouns.

It still is used for pronouns for the most part but meh I got used to it bc as I said discord is the same way
ultra-compress it like xor's shaders, 6 characters only
lalala
ahwait they/them is 8
allo! :)
theres cases with other languages which may need the extra space (for example toki pona where people may list headnouns or a full tokiponized name)
my problem is that doing open beta 50% of people that used it was for its intended purpose the other 50% was a status field
so neopronoun users can write "argue with the wall"
Henlo sir! It's good to see you.
How is you, how is chat?
suffering
oh that was a fast reply
Oh, you know... dumpster fire as usual. 
that 50% gets promptly ignored or laugh at them when they complain that their sentence gets cut off
Unless you create presets, you can't actively prevent this sort of thing. So you either have restrictions and a potential lack of coverage, or you have what you have now.
Nothing wrong with that, those 50% of people who put memes in there probably wouldn't have put an actual pronouns there. So you don't really lose anything.
yep. that will always be the case with any text box that can be written in freely
holy replies
I see 😹
yeah there's unfortunately gonna be a lot of abuse, which sucks so much. best you can do is complain to the people doing it or maliciously comply and refer to them as their status
Did your rat boyo come yet?
Status field 2 insane idea, they should add that
my vrc is bugged because im haft in floor for all my friend even tho they look normal for me
i have had a lot of fun calling people fuck
not yet but its on its way
Discords Pronouns field works in a similar way as to what VRChat just did 
uh oh
I saw a person complain about being banned for "jokingly" putting their pronoun as "vrchat staff"
"oh waow, nor has really unique neopronouns
i love mal's profile"
wouldent that count as impersonating vrchat staff?
everyone does that with any pronouns option unfortunately
but i mean it's not that bad as long as the "relax it's just dark humor" crew doesn't come in
Yeah that was a wild complaint to witness
I mean at least hopefully they've learned that action = consequence
It does which is why they were banned (temporary that is)
making my username John Vrchat
exactly
action = reaction
i cant sen the picture but im bugged and shit
putting my dad is vrchat in my status
hopefully but knowing the people that do that type of thing
not really learned
monkey do monkey die 😔
fuckin discord disable the @ when I tell you to
staff could always have an infraudable identifier tbf
plugin to have it disabled by default
I will forgive you this one time. And forever going forward because I don't mind.

pretty sure they do
Staff have a few.
VS!
VoiceMod-sponsored protogen. Nice.
I’m back with pocky
Share. 
that's their fursona you fool
@coarse steeple Do you like cheese? 🧀
staff has the vrchat specific group that has no members in it according to the website
Snacksss
you got like red nameplates or something? i think the server monitor bots used to have red accents on the site at one point
I am a swiss cheese kinda person.
As well as the Staff Badge
hey
As long as you like strawberry you may have as many as you want 
YES.

YEAHH
Staff have Badges, and are a part of a group that cannot be replicated 1:1.
How are you? ^^
Strawberry, chocolate, and mint chocolate chip are my favorites. :D
I like the strawberry andd the hazelnut one too
If a group has a .0000 identifier it is most likely official :D
This tastes how the Strawberry Shortcake DVD cases smelled
yeah that's pretty good, the only issue is that you have to actively look at someone's profile to see that though (unless you represent the group)
ooh whats that
Strawberry pocky :)
I'm doing great workings hard :3 my new job
And how about you
They’re lil biscuit sticks dipped in cream or chocolate
i've eaten those before!
i mean theres also the fact that you cant expect the average user to be knowledgeable on how to identify staff. so someone putting "staff" in their pronouns is always gonna have to be moderated no matter how unique actual staff are
Ohh what's your new job about?
I'm doing subba goods! ^^
Staff are often generally in the app to just hang out and use it. A feature like a red nameplate would be for some sort of declaration or action I reckon.
true
also true
bunni, you wanna know what the funny thing is? these treats.. are playable, in a fighting game
Over the past 5 years I have met countless of vrchat employees. But never seen a red name plate 
Hoh
They're... Very aggressive looking.
well its better to say its an assist from a chocolate bar thats playable.
Nuh matcha and banana better
I suggest pink 
I think some of the monitoring bot accounts used to have red accents on the site if you looked at them a few years ago
The matcha is yummy too 
How is fatman btw
but I can't remember
I don’t like artificial banana so that one is blegh to me
I’m like that with watermelon
Same just not artificial
I used to dislike strawberry but now its one of my favorite things
I remember being a little girl and eating strawberry ice cream with my pop pop. Fire shidd
ever had strawberry cake
Ye
hell YEAH I have
or muffins 
same. i hated it if you will
Ever have raspberry jam filled cake? My favorite
that sounds very tart X-X
Yummy
It’s pretty good
Outer is chocolate cake, middle part is raspberry jam and then whatever frosting I want
Fresh raspberries.. mmm 
Not that I need any frosting for that, I can eat that plain any day
Raspberries are my absolute favorite taste
They’re SO good
Isn't there a specific name for these? I used to have them decently often.
Yk what I was craving earlier? Blueberry pancakes
what about blueberries
not even blue smdh
Read my mind
Not sure, I just know it’s stacked cake
Ok Sach, I like purpleberries. Happy?
no coz theyre bad 🤣
so you dont like blueberries?
HAHAH
I like them
legit tho why's there no raspberry emoji 
ah mb
random question, is there a way to have something shown on just the imposter versions of your avatar? would you just have it on the avatar when u generate the imposters and then remove it and not regenerate them? or do they automatically regenerate?
🫐 <- we got that but not raspberries, life is only for suffering 
EVIL lesbian
Raspberry cookie
Blackcurrant is best berry
Raspberry isnt EVIL
yea but the font is
I’m evil lesbian
just have it as the default state of the avatar before animations n stuff can be played
I’m an angle and my wife is a devilt
true
for a second i thought you were gonna say dentist
ngl that's one of those berries that got slept on too much, always liked those
i just wanna write "avatar not shown" on it, cause to this day some people dont fucking know what imposters are
does someone know why i cant join my friend ? it ssays my game is outdated but i cant find an update
She cleans my teeth
I can be your angle or your devyil
Angle uwu
Yk one of the reasons I dyed my hair pink again
acute angle 📐
oh, neat
Tried a pb&j Reeces while my tummy isn’t hurting, I’m in love
I saw ads for dem. How tasty is they?
Strawberry tastes like those strawberry filled chocolates just with peanut butter
Heard grape is icky tho
Try cassis soda 
Maybe the acidity got funky with the peanut butter
i dont like grape flavoured things 💔
Probably
Grape popsicles 
only grape flavored tihng i like are actual grapes
:) ty
everyone knows that grapes are just larping as blackcurrant because they jelly
||or is it jam||
What's a blackcurrant?
I’m curious what the difference is between jelly and jam. Ik there is one
Doesn’t jam have all the good yummies in it
a type of sweet berry
According to Google, jelly is made with the juice and jam is made from the actual fruit.
it looks like the type of berry your parents would warn you not to eat
Ohhh
djem su? the light saber form?
Yeah I recall jam having more of the natural goops
The who what when where how
the lil goops are what make it good tho
i dont think ive ever tried jam ngl
lol
what the berry
So whats marmalade compared to jam then
a lie no one will admit to
Does it just have more and with a thicker consistency
Fruit enjoyers when I chuck a watermelon at them
probably idk
more sugar is my guess
actual serious answer: marmalades tend to be less sweet and more chunky, broadly speaking
marmalade is like jam people speak for "i just used citrus"
I’m a fruit enjoyer. Gonna gulp down a watermelon and it’ll get stuck in my throat like Mr Krabs w that pill
Fr
it's funny how players are using the pronouns feature to put random sh*t on it lol
I’m finally ranked up to user in vr chat
who would ever do that
It can be used for pronouns or like a second bio. It was advertised as so
Remember: the lemon isnt a natural fruit. It was made via crossbreeding of a citron and a bitter orange and a
there's english marmalade at the store which doesn't have any sugar in it, it even tastes kinda bitter depending on the fruit it's based on
like orange marmalade is kinda bitter but also has an orange-y taste to it
jam is the same but sweet
ppl are using new features....?
this has never happened before, we should call the press
I love my delicious mutant yellow fruit
💔 I can’t even rank up to new user don’t make me cry
defcon 3
right exactly that yea. pretty good too if youre in the mood for that kinda flavor 😄
Orange mmmm
So marmalade is just a thicker jam with all the stuff but less sweet
🟠
Just don’t be toxic and make new friends and explore worlds
Or be me and be so so so cool
I love you
too much work pls give me name color
Further: the orange fruit existed before the orange color.
you feeling better?
Omg I love you too ❤️
Yeh, the color is named after the fruit
Is it just me or has the latest vrc update ruined some avatars now?
:0
A little!
all they did was patch bypasses
make sure you have a vrc acc instead of steam / quest
Thats my wifey. We sleep together with our socks on
🙏
I sleep with one on bc I get too warm

She has several wives but ermm. I’m the pink one
