[idle wharf]

if VRC wants to go this route, we cant stop em, and if it goes well? then be happy for the people still enjoying the game...if it doesnt go well? then be happy VRC got what we warned them about

[meager solstice]

I mean they seem to be adding a lot of accessibility stuff, if u have more suggestions it seems they r willing to listen. Any suggestions?

[umbral reef]

Odds are big they havent even read the blogposts or cared to checkthe open beta

[meager solstice]

I mean when they seem to be pushing out features that were probably amongst the most used mods...... people stop bitching.

sure not everything they have planned is not in yet and not every niche mod will be added..... but it seems that for the most part the stuff is being added

[stone moon]

There were people trying proper methods and going through proper channels. Most of it got tossed from the canny when the open beta segment was cleared on the go-live.
There were even good ideas, like having their new dev interns work with the mod makers for a few months to leverage their implementation knowledge, and then add EAC once the most-used mods were made vanilla.

Instead we got ignored to the tune of $80 million of funding from Anthos Capital

[umbral reef]

If you realisticly think them removing EAC to add it back later is an option i kinda fear for the company you work in.

Also a majority of the current worked on projects (not the first week dropped ones) only got highly requested after EAC.

[open crescent]

The tantrum gang still thinking they are the whole community

"screaming" is not a good way to achieve communication. And all the spam doesn't help also.

There were like 20 different canny posts also just screaming "remove EAC!" It is not useful

The actual features that are important are being added, so actual, real communication did achieve changing the current roadmap

i.e. all the accesibility stuff

Other than that, seems like a tantrum about not having mods
(But keep in mind they were forbidden from the start)

All the fearmongering with bullshit / misinformation also didn't help

[hasty axle]

hi

[violet oyster]

Well... that "screaming" might just be the thing that pushed the VRChat team to release these features at a fast pace.

Pretty sure that wouldn't have happened without the backlash.

[vocal shard]

Well the problem was the size of the development team which was a lot smaller than it was now which is the reason why these updates are coming out at a faster pace. I feel that all this talk about the backlash is merely conjecture at this point. But thats just my take

[violet oyster]

It certainly helps to have a bigger team. Though I don't think it's the sole reason.

From the communications I've seen, I did see some sugar coating here and there, which, for me, hints to a damage control behavior.

Personally I believe VRC has been under the monopoly poison, ie having grown complacent over time. They are challenged now, which is good for us, the players, since we get more updates.

[rigid scroll]

Anyone facing issue of teleporting to another world but brought back to home?

[bronze swan]

It is not only mod users who want EAC to be removed, as it remains after the VRC is uninstalled, posing a security risk to PCs, so players who oppose its introduction have been asking the management about the security risks of EAC since before the update. We have asked the management about the security risk of EAC before the update. However, the management implemented EAC without any response, and EAC has eliminated even healthy players from VRC, not to mention the uninstall problem. The only thing the management did in response to the additional information about EAC was to state in the Terms of Service that they had implemented EAC but that they were not responsible for it. Many players, including myself, should be aware of the risk of their personal information being extracted by EAC.

[stuck parrot]

Agreed. While there are enough other scenarios where they may have felt nuking the site from orbit was the only way to be sure, given what VRCTeam has let the public know, I still think it’s a huge mistake, but whether VRC realizes it before or after the damage has been done is up to people that aren’t me.

[sharp saddle]

Can we please stop this?

[vocal shard]

Guapo

[vocal shard]

ikr we are beating a dead horse of a topic at this point

[bronze swan]

We can't stop, the introduction of the EAC has left many creators and friends in a situation where they want to do the VRC but can't, and these are situations that the management has brought about. If all we wanted to do was get rid of Mode users, we wouldn't need the EAC in the first place. They have defiled the cry of the engineers' souls in exchange for funds, and this is unforgivable.

[sharp saddle]

Well, why can't they?

[bronze swan]

You may not understand what is wrong, but you have lost a long-time colleague with the introduction of a single piece of software, EAC, which is only one thing, but EAC exists on top of the system permissions that exist in the PC. This in itself is also a vulnerability for the PC, but the VRC has not introduced software to uninstall the EAC when uninstalling. If you are unsure about these dangers, ask a security engineer close to you.

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

[sharp saddle]

That... does not answer my question in the slightest.

[bronze swan]

What you are saying is that we should stop discussing things here?

[sharp saddle]

Either that... or give me actual reasons to back up your statement. What I'm hearing is the same nothing-speech.

Like previously said, this is a dead horse of a topic.

[bronze swan]

No corroboration, I am not a security engineer myself. But my fellow security engineers are aware that EAC is dangerous and they have left the VRC. I also question the VRC management's argument that EAC is being introduced to eliminate Mode.

[sharp saddle]

...Congrats...?

[vocal shard]

One of my friends just got blue screen of death when launching vrc.

Eac sure is a threat in pc.... I don't use eac in epic games... I still can use cheats and stuff.... But i dont even understand this devs being stupid enough putting social games a eac..... Just wtf...

[bronze swan]

I don't want to get into a sad debate either, so I won't say more, but please remember that EAC may be a factor if your personal data is compromised and misused from your PC.

[sharp saddle]

All I'm waiting to hear is your explanation for why creators and your friends can't enjoy VRC because of EAC. Like, what's preventing them? That's quite literally all I'm wanting to know.

[bronze swan]

This is because it is not possible to implement EAC in the workplace (as it could be a security risk).

[sharp saddle]

👀

I didn't know avatar-making was a job.

[vocal shard]

You don't understand that EAC is personal data miner?

Research it

[sharp saddle]

Eh. I'm over this anyway.

This whole "EAC is bad" nonsense needs to die.

[bronze swan]

Creating avatars is not his job, his job is to teach the company about security risks etc.

[vocal shard]

Research it and u know whats going on

[bronze swan]

People do not accumulate danger unless they feel it on their skin.

[vocal shard]

Easy Anti Cheat is a spyware. It contains a keylogger, and can also take screenshots of your computer.

[sharp saddle]

Guys. You had your time to freak out weeks ago. Can we please let it die already?

[vocal shard]

Not unless DEV listen their community or ignore them...

I do tired listen to this too but what can i say...

[violet oyster]

From what I gather EAC does indeed gather personal data, and stores it for 10-85 years. That data could be used for targetted advertising... recalls me of the Apple-Unreal Engine fiasco with Fortnite.

[vocal shard]

There is no such fucking thing as a keylogger for EAC. EAC is a anticheat software that works at the Kernel level which is the core of your OS and runs at the lowest level possible. The kernel-level driver will load during startup and block certain drivers from loading or running on your computer. It doesnt log data and simple disables certain drivers marked as unsafe and untrustworthy by actively scanning your system

[sharp saddle]

I thought that was over IAP?

[vocal shard]

It’s literally myth spread by fear mongering and misinformation

[violet oyster]

Well... I've read that on EAC website concerning personal data protection... well at this point pretty much everything logs your activity or personal data... the number of times I've had baby targetted ads just cause I'm a woman... shrug

[vocal shard]

It has its bypasses like every other Anticheat in existence so the complaints of modders still being in the game is stupid. Look at the big picture and realize that a majority of malicious mods havent made it pass in and only a few mods actually slipped by until it gets reported patched. EAC has its fair share of pros and cons but the misinformation is astounding

[gray valley]

Being at the kernel level is dangerous. Actively scanning and disabling drivers some that may be harmless isn't a good thing

The only thing that should be actively scanning in the computer should be Windows Defender or some trusted Anti-Virus program like MalwareBytes or ESET

That's why people hate EAC because of system intrusions like this

[vocal shard]

Well you would have to be using some really sketchy drivers for it to be picked up as unknown

It doesnt scan the entire time as well lol

[violet oyster]

Hmm... who knows... EAC's own documentation could be wrong.

Personally, I think there is a sliver of truth to what they're saying. But it is clouded with fear/anger.

I know EAC doesn't like me having RGB on my graphic card for some reason...usually running custom RGB drivers to show how hot my graphic card runs and translate it to RGB color...

[sharp saddle]

My GPU has an LCD screen on it.

[gray valley]

Yeah it affects safe legitimate programs as well like your gpu color changing function

[vocal shard]

Well that is a inconvenient issue but not a dangerous issue. It has been known to do that to rgb drivers for some reason

[gray valley]

Also EAC takes on system resources and framerates drop when this EAC update happened

[vocal shard]

EAC gives a small load on your CPU before slowing down its usage on it

I did tests with a variety of different games on load times and such

[violet oyster]

Haven't felt framerate drops from vanilla VRC to EAC VRC, but I sure do miss optimization mods.

[vocal shard]

I mean no disrespect or trying to attack you in any means just trying to throw out information on what EAC does. Just throwing that out there

:)

[gray valley]

Why didn't VRChat use Steam/Valve's Anti-Cheat solution VAC instead?

[vocal shard]

I do not know as im not the developers lol

[violet oyster]

Well, my take is that the issue isn't that much about EAC itself, but how it has been implementented regardless of what the community thought about it (the security update).

It has been a management chaos, I've watched it all happen and it wasn't pretty... on all sides. Depressing to say the least. I've seen valid arguments/legitimate concerns being silenced (in discord), black cat instances literally becoming a war zone. The news about VRC are painting the platform in a bad light as well.

[gray valley]

Does it have to do something with VRChat migrating to Epic Games Store being an exclusive over there soon?

That's the only reason I can think of

[vocal shard]

noted

[sharp saddle]

VAC is usually reserved for Valve-created games.

[gray valley]

"Usually" but there's many games not made by Valve at all that use VAC services

There's a list on Steam showing all the VAC enabled games including other titles not affiliated with Valve

[sharp saddle]

That or EAC was literally free so they went with that option.

[gray valley]

They probably wouldn't get as bad of a backlash if they went VAC instead. The implementation of EAC how it behaves on your system is what people don't like. VAC doesn't affect legitimate programs and drivers.

[violet oyster]

Hmm... would've it been possible for VRChat to be launched from the Oculus app if they had went the VAC route though?

[sharp saddle]

Prooobably not.

[noble depot]

you..do realise that VAC is a kernel-level anticheat too, right lol

also I'm on an i7-6700HQ GTX 970m system, and haven't noticed any dropped frames from the addition of EAC (and trust me, it is not hard for me to drop frames lmao)
If you did, contact #vrchat-support o:

[vocal shard]

Are you sure it's actually kernel level anticheat?

[vocal shard]

it is

That's interesting you learn something new everyday 👍

[noble depot]

yep, https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1y70ej/valve_vac_and_trust/

[vocal shard]

I must say it is pretty bad though because it does not seem to prevent cheaters at all...

[noble depot]

since at least 2014

[noble depot]

it just suffers from the same exact cat-and-mouse game that every anticheat faces, with the added issue of having a lot of people trying to bypass it

[vocal shard]

yeah its why people prefer using ESEA on CSGO

ESEA...? Is it some kind of third party server network like FACEIT?

I would but ya know

[noble depot]

no anticheat will 100% prevent cheaters, that'd be ludicrous to ask - they fix an exploit, people work around them, ad infinitum. Valve calls it a "treadmill of work" in their GDC talk about VAC

[vocal shard]

:/

[vocal shard]

Well yeah but VAC is pretty much proven to not prevent anything at all as far I know of course I do not have enough knowledge in the topic to say much about it other than what I have heard from others.

[noble depot]

here's their talk on it, though note that it's very CS:GO centric: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTiP0zKF9bc

[noble depot]

It absolutely does a lot! keep in mind that you're only seeing what's slipped through the cracks, you're not seeing what's been stopped

and again, treadmill of work - they fix the exploit(s) people use, the people work around them, ad infinitum

Valve also isn't going to go into very much detail about VAC (besides the talk above), as that gives more information for bad actors to take advantage of

so in short, most of what you're gonna hear about it (aside from official sources) is conjecture/rumor, with potential ulterior motives for those rumors being shared

[vocal shard]

Well my Steam account does not have over 3 year old VAC bans for nothing after all. Though it was my fault for not enabling -insecure.

[noble depot]

(...) There is also a social engineering side to cheating, which is to attack people's trust in the system. If "Valve is evil - look they are tracking all of the websites you visit" is an idea that gets traction, then that is to the benefit of cheaters and cheat creators. VAC is inherently a scary looking piece of software, because it is trying to be obscure, it is going after code that is trying to attack it, and it is sneaky. For most cheat developers, social engineering might be a cheaper way to attack the system than continuing the code arms race, which means that there will be more Reddit posts trying to cast VAC in a sinister light. (...) as Gabe Newell said in the Reddit post above

a similar thing is applicable here, with EAC

eroding people's trust in EAC/VRChat/etc is highly advantageous to bad actors, social engineering (i.e mis/disinfo, etc) is effective

[sharp saddle]

Yo Zu.

[noble depot]

heya arte!

[brazen zinc]

Yuzu is delicious.

[noble depot]

:monkas:

[brazen zinc]

https://images.heb.com/is/image/HEBGrocery/001754451

[noble depot]

yuzu soy? hmm o:

hungor

[vocal shard]

I mean it does seem to cause the same damage but way more efficiently. Honestly I think it's just even stupid to consider something like EAC/VAC/BE stealing your personal information because that is not required for the anticheat to operate yeah they may and will collect some bits of your identifiers which are most likely linked to your hardware to ban you in the case of your being detected cheating but even so that data is not enough to identify you at all.

[brazen zinc]

Yuzu goes great with many sushi. I love it with yellowtail tuna.

[noble depot]

need to try that, that sounds awesome

how dare you make me want sushi at tomorrow o'clock

[vocal shard]

Yuzu is also delicious as juice or in alcohol. I use it yuzu sometimes on karaage and other fried japanese foods

[brazen zinc]

yepper, Yuzu is magical

[violet oyster]

Is it the Yuzu cult? Hehe~

Or the church of Yuzu

[vocal shard]

the church of yuzu

[vocal shard]

Hello Ma'am may introduce you to our savior Yuzu-San

To those who betray our cause we tie them down and squeeze yuzu in their eyes >:3

[violet oyster]

Holy Yuzu~

Well uhh Yuzu sounds like Mizu which means water in Japanese

[vocal shard]

waterboarding but with Yuzu

to those who choose the inferior lemon over yuzu

[open crescent]

lime > yuzu

but it is not bad I guess

[edgy anchor]

yuzu is goated

anyone know any good worlds for skins ?🫠

[inner ledge]

so vr is working good with my amd exept for 2 problems:

somemaps are blurry , very pixely like i am in a fog of pixels. sometimes it is annoying and sometimes it is fine. how i change it to be sharp?

i tend to crash in parties world with lots of people, even with the worst graphics and everyone blocked i get crash. the airlink disconnecting so my vr screen is black and sometimes my pc is crushing too. i had the 1650 and it never happend to me at parties. how i make the amd stable?

i have i7-10700 and oculus 2. it all started with my 6600 amd card

[magic gate]

saw your post on reddit, didn't reply though - what driver version on the gpu?

[inner ledge]

yap

i did a rollback to -22.7.1-

[magic gate]

ah

try 22.5.1 - I had crashing with anything newer, tupper told me to rollback and I haven't had a problem since

[placid narwhal]

Yoo so I lost all my hand gestures on oculus I turned gestures on but nothing fixed any help?

Oof..

[inner ledge]

ty i will try. i am still considering shipping it back

[magic gate]

eh it's a solid card it's just they screwed up and don't properly have beta drivers flagged as beta
calling it 'optional' doesn't really help much

[inner ledge]

ty, it worked.
how do i fix the blurry problem? i see the world blurry, especially walls

[inner ledge]

also, can i change to faster airlink data transfer on this? i want 200mb

and is it worth it to buy virtual desktop?

[magic gate]

blurry, i'm not too sure, I haven't had that problem :/

airlink dataspeed, not sure, I got a index

I've seen a few cool usecases with people with VD and emulating index controllers with finger tracking, but i'm not too sure how that works

[languid wasp]

Thanks past DarkOne, younjust saved me alot of trouble

[fervent meteor]

ayo, @covert chasm quick question. Why do i have the developer API for unity? Idk if this is an error or you guys are giving me a job but like, what?

i know that you may not be able to answer this question but anything would be wonderful

[timber fulcrum]

Roses are red

I am amazingly fit

I am outside my shed

And my WIFI is shit

[full lily]

Beautiful

[timber fulcrum]

Thanks

I put three minutes on this

[noble depot]

Everyone does, it's an outdated branch(?) of the SDK afaik, and you shouldn't use it

[fervent meteor]

how is it outdated if its a new download?

[noble depot]

unrelated to the release date of the SDK version itself, the dev API is outdated and shouldn't be used

everyone has it, though

bad wording, sorry

[vocal shard]

Can someone please make an avi quest compatible and import it to vrc for me

[open crescent]

You can probably go to the vrctraders discord in #community-servers-old and ask for that... For the right amount of money.

I see you were spamming multiple channels with the same text

Don't do that it's annoying

[vocal shard]

Why does drinking night play the same song over and over?

[ashen harbor]

Tysm!! This is EXACTLY what I was talking about!!!

[full sail]

Ayoooooo

[ashen harbor]

sorry for the late response

but yeah I recognize the cover art/logo

[full sail]

Thank you to the friendo that chimed in and linked it originally! I'm glad we got that figured out for ya

[ashen harbor]

yeah I was dying to know because it's such a neat little game that's simple and calm

very nice chill game tbh and I need to fav this now

[finite mountain]

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get in the game anymore. For some reason I’m getting the error
“StartService EasyAntiCheat_EOSSys failed with -2145452015”

I don’t have any mods and I never have

Oh wait, #user-support-old

[silent venture]

heyyy

[sharp saddle]

Pretty sure he has DMs disabled.

[nocturne lodge]

Has anybody else’s games been crashing a ton? I’ve crashed five times in the past few days. Three for random reasons and two because of the personal mirror

[edgy yacht]

I'm having a problem.. I'm on quest and my internet went out but as soon as it got connected again it isn't loading it's saying "your connection to vrchat timed out"

[vocal shard]

Where do i download blender for windows 10?

[sharp saddle]

From the website?

[vocal shard]

It costs money right

[sharp saddle]

No...?

Blender is a free program. You might me thinking of Maya.

[vocal shard]

Oh someone told me it needs a subscription package

[sharp saddle]

Not that I'm aware of.

[vocal shard]

What's a good world for drawing in? Something like Drawing Retreat but with better tools

[sharp saddle]

Life Drawing is a popular world.

[forest snow]

Yeah that one is probably what I'll end up picking, shame it doesn't seem to have late sync though or locking

[tame fulcrum]

It does have a pick up lock in it.

[forest snow]

not for locking the canvas down but for preventing others drawing on your canvas or deleting it

[tame fulcrum]

Ah yea, it doesnt have that feature. but you can always just make a private instance to avoid that kind of issue

[sharp saddle]

@vocal shard No need to DM me. Just... talk here.

[vocal shard]

okay well i need to import a unity avatar file into blender.

[sharp saddle]

...You can't.

Blender is a 3D modeling program.

Are you wanting to make changes to a model?

[vocal shard]

yes, im trying to recolor things on an avi.

[sharp saddle]

You'll wanna recolor the textures, not the model itself.

Textures are the images that are wrapped around the 3D object.

[vocal shard]

okay. there are arm warmers which i want to recolor.

[tame fulcrum]

you can recolor the texture in photoshop or any program that let you change the texture

[sharp saddle]

Yep.

[vocal shard]

so how do i do it because i have the model file

[sharp saddle]

Did it come with image files?

[vocal shard]

i dont know. Im super new to this

[tame fulcrum]

Try going to the avatar folder (if you are in unity) then find the material|mat folder

[vocal shard]

I am in blender.

[tame fulcrum]

you dont need blender to change the material

[sharp saddle]

@fair sage Wrong person.

[vocal shard]

wait i wanna change the color of things.. what software do i use?

[sharp saddle]

First, you need to download Unity.

[tame fulcrum]

.

[vocal shard]

okay ill do that.

[tame fulcrum]

Unity
Blender
Photoshop | or other program that let you change the (png or jpg) texture

[vocal shard]

So i can use blender?

[tame fulcrum]

Unity is where you will customize the avatar later (animation)(other stuff)
Blender is where you change model itself (as i know so far)
photoshop is for the pictures to change what you want

[vocal shard]

but i want to change the color on the hair, ears, ect. then i want to bring the avi into vrchat

[tame fulcrum]

just dm me the pic

ill tell you how to find the colors and etc

[teal schooner]

dude

[tame fulcrum]

[teal schooner]

how do i meet friends in vr chat?

[vocal shard]

Open up the pad, and click on your friend then request invite

Once they send you an invite you should be able to click on it and click accept

[teal schooner]

no i mean like how do i meet people who want to be friends

cause i kinda have the same problem of irl

[tame fulcrum]

get into conversation, if you vibe and agree to be each other friend

there is your answer

[teal schooner]

otherwise i just gtfo?

y i know what u mean but my question is more like how can i find a room where i know i'll be able to make friends more easy

or are just all random?

[tame fulcrum]

Be who you are? there are people who are nice enough in VRC that will accept you as friend

[teal schooner]

y bro but like are there like theme rooms or where people meet to talk about specific things like idk whatever, anime or programming or anythinh

or are just all random?

[tame fulcrum]

EN-JP language is world I know where to make friends or any other world that are not mainly for games (tho you can find friends in game world as well)

[gilded skiff]

Is anyone able to help me clarify whether I can use the #shameless-self-promotion channel to post about my VRChat event business and the link to join my Discord? We have 150 members and are growing fast. It’s an experience I provide within VRChat like a party planner would. I don’t want to violate any rules though. Would this sort of thing be okay?

[gilded skiff]

Okay, how can I read about/apply to be a part of this?

[karmic rose]

The pinned post in that channel

[ornate hornet]

Yes and steam and deleting all fine and verifying integrity and cleaning the cache

[gilded skiff]

Thank you

[gilded skiff]

You should see the reply that FPaul gave to me

[karmic rose]

That channel is for promoting stuff directly related to vrchat such as your twitch, YouTube, and vrchat related content.

It's not for promoting discords or other unrelated vr game content or other games.

[ruby needle]

Your YouTube and Twitch channel to introduce you, specifically.
Not posting all your videos in there either.

Cus that has their own places.

[karmic rose]

Plus it says once per week only

time to spam every single video I've ever made

[ruby needle]

But if you made a really nice game world you can promote it, but Discord links are still not allowed.

[gilded skiff]

I see

[upbeat warren]

I wish there was android vrchat that doesn't need headset or pc

But I can't find anything

[karmic rose]

There isn't anything

[upbeat warren]

Yes ik. I checked

[karmic rose]

Welp

[upbeat warren]

I hope one day they make vrchat for mobile.

[karmic rose]

There's too many different types of phones. It would be a development nightmare

[upbeat warren]

Yeah

does anyone else have problems with vrc crashing after loadin a movie or show in ls media or movie and chill (HTC VIVE)

[open crescent]

The advantages of being rich I guess

At 14 having full body tracking would have been a dream

But hey if you have it might as well enjoy it

Have fun

#shameless-self-promotion this is more suitable, maybe

[vocal shard]

Why some people get amused from the stupidest things ever?

[sharp saddle]

Assuming this is the PayPal thing?

[open crescent]

#moderation-reports

I wouldn’t do that on your own per se. just put in reports and let the vrchat team take care of the rest

More of a CYA than a slapping your wrist and saying ‘Bad’. Don’t put yourself into situations that don’t look good even if it’s for a good cause~

[tulip pivot]

I reported it and I asked if there is a team

I need to be in that situation cause i very much dislike when stuff like that happens. It’s what I want to do for a living

[open crescent]

There's a moderation team

[tulip pivot]

Yeah but if there’s an appeal to be on that team somewhere I’d sign up

[open crescent]

Check vrchat's open positions I guess

[tulip pivot]

The games been out for awhile I’d thought they’d have enough ppl

Well reporting someone is alright I suppose but you’d need some really hardcore visual evidence rather than the team going out there to stop it

[full sail]

I do hope you know that even the moderation team doesn’t publicly go and take care of problem situations, yeah? In most if not all cases ((elsewhere in other platforms and such so maybe I’m wrong)) it’s reading through logs and just administering proper judgements accordingly

[open crescent]

They work with reports, yes

They don't have a team of 300,000 people just scanning everything constantly

That's impossible

[full sail]

It’s not glory, which is kind of what you sound like you want

It’s good and necessary but man is it a hell of a lot of paper trails, lol

[pastel flower]

Ok super newbie here. Started the vrchat tutorial.....it says to walk through the portals.....nothing happens when I try. I just walk through them to the other side and am not transported. What am I missing?

[vocal shard]

Try jumping inside the portal

[pastel flower]

Lol how do you jump?

[vocal shard]

Are you using a headset because it's A

[pastel flower]

Yes, a headset

Nothing happens when I press A lol

[vocal shard]

Oh what world are you in btw?

Cause certain worlds do not allow you to jump

[noble depot]

Portals in the tutorial world are a bit broken lol, and should be fixed in the next update iirc - try switching worlds via the quick menu c:

I just rebooted the head set. All good now

[earnest mist]

Feeling quite dandy

[pastel flower]

Feeling overwhelmed? I just got into VRChat and I just feel like theres SO much I dont know. I have watched youtube videos etc, but I feel like all the cool stuff is harder to find? What are good worlds to start with? I keep ending up in places with screaming children. hahaha

[karmic rose]

Depends on the type of worlds you like. If you like trippy worlds with less kids, check out ADRIFT. Tho, there's only a handful of people there right now. Tends to pick up later in the day.

[noble depot]

yup

'bout normal for this time and day

[potent sentinel]

Yeah I can see lol. I haven’t been on vr for a month or so

I’m thinking about getting into vr chat

[vocal shard]

I remember the first time it went to 45K, it was new year's eve 2021 I think. The servers were overloaded cause there was only one set of servers I think at the time instead of the 4 they have now right?

[potent sentinel]

Damn

[noble depot]

not really, there's always been tons of photon servers, they just didn't have regions besides the US
The NYE 2021 issue wasn't on vrc's end at all actually, it was Cloudflare thinking the game was getting DDoSed

in actuality, it was just popular

[spring sedge]

hey guys, im new here, any interesting vr game/ vrc world to recommend?

[old stump]

Half life alyx, lone echo series

[spring sedge]

oh cool!

[misty onyx]

So, honest thoughts on vrchat, it is good, only if your looking for childish chaos [rec room already has that].

But, it's all dependent on experience

[meager solstice]

Just stay away from children for example, the pug is a great world with practically no children

[misty onyx]

Yep. Another issue I found that still bugs me for some reason, nsfw avatars that are used on private instances and not streamed, still removed for some reason. Including avatars that are only suggestive and not intended to be nsfw. (This is just my perspective)

Exactly.

[meager solstice]

Nsfw models are not allowed on vrc…… however vrc does not actively look at content for content moderation they rely on user reporting to remove them

[misty onyx]

I'm not talking specifically nsfw avatars, I'm mentioning avatars that can be suggestive would be removed.

[meager solstice]

I mean nsfw is “opinionated”

But also how do u know vrc is removing them and not the creator removing them?

Or maybe removed for dmca?

[karmic rose]

Often when an avatar is reported for NSFW all avatars from that creator get purged. Been happening for many years, or the creator is banned for uploading content that violates TOS and all the avatars go poof

[meager solstice]

When one of mine was against tos years ago only it was removed

I still question that model getting banned but it is what is it is

[karmic rose]

Cool

[meager solstice]

But even “suggestive” stuff can cross the line that vrc has set

[karmic rose]

Yep.

[misty onyx]

Suggestive in my perspective would be:
1, clothed avatar with a "bust" under the clothes (no nsfw setting)
Or
2, the avatar has optional clothing with any sort of bulge or bust with the model (without any nsfw setting)

[karmic rose]

To be fair they don't use the terminology "suggestive" in the TOS

"your User Content could not be deemed by a reasonable person to be objectionable, profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, embarrassing, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate."

As it's always been. NSFW has never been allowed anywhere.

Pointing out that it requires user reports to be removed doesn't mean it's actually okay to use it in private instances. It's just that people get away with it there for now.

[vocal shard]

#vrchat-general-1 message

[karmic rose]

Yep. Basically what I said.

[vocal shard]

[karmic rose]

To be honest I really don't like how Tupper worded it there tho.

It's almost like they're giving people a wink wink that NSFW is okay as long as it stays in private. That, plus the loading screen. Plus the tags in the sdk really mislead and confuse people.

There's really no reason to elaborate like that. Moderators and other staff have been very blunt "NSFW is NOT allowed anywhere" but then they release statements, images, and other things that lead others to be confused.

The only thing from VRC should be it's not allowed. Period. There is no need to add extra information or intentionally point out things like it can't really be reported if only used in private or make loading screens that say it's not allowed in public.

Tired of the mixed messages needlessly confusing people when the TOS and CG has always been blunt and clear as well as moderators here and other staff members.

[fossil idol]

Maybe just to keep that PG rating on steam

[karmic rose]

Doubt it. Probably out of fear of further backlash. They'll kick that can down the road a bit longer.

Regardless. This half in half out approach is not helpful in regards to properly informing people of the standards and simply leads to confusion by so many.

I honestly can't even count how many times people have brought up that loading screen or the tags in the SDK regarding how they thought that meant it was okay in private just to get scorned by staff or moderators in this discord. They're needlessly creating that confusion.

[misty onyx]

Exactly

Misinformation leads to confusion, but causing more misinformation after the confusion can lead to a two-way twist of confusion.

[karmic rose]

It's not really misinformation. Everything they've said is accurate.

It's just they often say too much, or add needless extra information that leads to confusion that should have been left out, as people easily see it as an implied okay or as I said a wink wink.

[open crescent]

Honestly still having that checkbox and that stupid text on the loading screen is a very dumb thing to do, at this point just ridiculous

[karmic rose]

Yeah... Considering the amount of hassle it causes moderators here over the half a decade, the confusion it creates for users, and that both have been unchanged for years, is bothersome.

The loading screen seemingly implies a stance that doesn't agree with the TOS and it's down to two words in public.

Then years later the community manager is still making statements that easily can confuse people. Pointing out something isn't allowed and then immediately following it up with a paragraph about how if nobody reports it then shrug wink. All while other moderators and other dev members are blunt as everyone should be.

I don't understand this wishy washy kinda misleading stance and considering the sheer amount of issues it's caused over the years and the overwhelming number of times people have referenced these things when saying why they thought it was okay, you'd honestly think the simple step would be changing two words, a few buttons on the sdk and then not letting the community manager make such extended elaboration on the issues with their moderation methods in the same post as saying why something isn't allowed.

It's kinda like if the police gave a press conference saying

*We just want to remind everyone that murder is illegal.

But, as a reminder, our legal system needs proof. So if you kill in private, and nobody is around to report you, then no action would naturally be taken*

Like. Just stop at the first part. Why are u elaborating so much to such a degree that can easily imply to some that "well gee golly I guess I'll just kill people in private"

[fossil idol]

I mean in America it pretty much is legal

I love how people absolutely love movies n shit like Daredevil and Spiderman

But studios n shit making them dont know why they’re getting loved…

[karmic rose]

[fossil idol]

its because Spiderman has to get so many part time jobs and struggles to live in the city which is the one place that has jobs

[white idol]

Hello

[meager solstice]

I mean the new spiderman movies doesn’t show this at all, the older ones did

I don’t disagree with u, cuz that is the difference between marvel vs dc, marvel shows average Joe becoming a hero

[fossil idol]

2 first ones, funded by Aunt May since hes a 15 year old who isnt even in college yet. The 2 other spidermen skipped his whole childhood and went straight to adulthood.
No Way Home no Aunt, He lives alone in a bad apartment and will need a job. Im guessing as a photograph

Or he’ll become a scientist like in the ps4 game

[meager solstice]

He didn’t live alone in no way home…..

[fossil idol]

Did you watch the end?

[meager solstice]

At the end, he lives alone yes

Valve partners with people and sets up patents with various companies. I think it's best to work together with Valve to improve products for the consumer. My dream since 2008 is a cross platform multiplayer story driven game (including VR) but that's still a ways out.

[karmic rose]

Still, two years pay for an injury, prob pass. I'd need a decent amount more.

[gusty valley]

Lol

I don't think I'd go to that extreme for money

[copper sphinx]

if vrc implements scaling, certain sizes should be locked behind trust ranks, so timmy can't disrupt lobbies right out the box

Hello waves I was wondering, is anyone looking to sell commissions for custom worlds?

[full sail]

I…wait what are you doing to totally max out with actually-decent components? I can understand unoptimized worlds or crowded worlds bogging you, but hitting the threshold concerns me because that’s not something my rig does and I’m only one step above you with current knowledge. ((Like at worst I hit 50% during loads or crowds of poor/very poor for a few moments))

dumb questions beyond and below but:

How much RAM? Drivers up to date? …is your case clean for fresh air intake and exhaust?

Like I’m used to this question but with context of 5+ year old components

I could entertain possible overlay or background program defeating the bottleneck failsafe to prevent capping out…

This is all contextual in that yes a gpu will use 100% split upon anything eating it at the time, but not in a way that actually impedes performance

Hello Everyone, I was thinking whether my post would go to the selfpromotion or general but then I thought it is not self-promotion, so I would post it here (hope is fine):
I'm writing here as I work as a researcher in immersive media at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Hungary. I am starting a new research project in which I'm going to investigate how 18-25 yrs old people use VR Chat, how do they date in VR Chat and what motivates them to start a relationship. For this I'm seeking 2 persons for the pre-pilot interview. This would be an online voice interview on Jitsii platform (no video camera needed). I am looking for persons who had one or several relationships in VR Chat (no matter if later they met IRL or not). The interview is anonymous, I will just ask your age, country of provenance, and your gender (or sexual orientation). I can offer one 20 USD Amazon gift card for the cca 60 min long interview. If you are interested, please message me here directly. PLS NOTE: Later we would also post the call when we sharpened the focus area, but for that we would need to hear about your experience:)

World creator status=Not yet allowed

[ruby needle]

Becoming verified by the trust system is based on reaching a not time based trust score, which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.

You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner with your VRChat account, walking around, meeting people and also making some friends. Idling won't help.
According to many responses in this discord, a rough estimate would be ** 20-40 hours**, but big exceptions are possible.

Make sure you are not using a steam or oculus account and continue playing the game until you get a notification or e-mail.

https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/360062658813-Why-can-t-I-upload-avatars-or-worlds-yet-

Alternatively, you can subscribe to VRC+ for one month to get to new user directly. https://hello.vrchat.com/vrchat-plus-faq

Honestly, why not.

[rocky cove]

[cold vine]

really? 😮

[rocky cove]

how do i get trusted rank 🤯🤯🤯

i need it

[sinful elbow]

Entering public lobbies, conversing, playing the game, adding friends.

[rocky cove]

ok how many hours doe

[sinful elbow]

You slowly gain rank but its never directly stated how fast.

[sinful elbow]

🤷‍♂️

[rocky cove]

damn

[plain merlin]

laughs the most indirectly requested feature... a exp bar to trusted rank.

[sinful elbow]

Have the feature, but its just stuck at 99%

[cold vine]

me too! I don't have friends :'v maybe is that

[rocky cove]

add me?

spabopboy

[sinful elbow]

Now that being said, uploading content also helps. So uploading avatars and worlds will have an effect on your ranking

[rocky cove]

i dont make avis hahaha idek how to use unity

[plain merlin]

Then you have something to new to learn and look forward to.

[cold vine]

I have made many avatars and worlds but I cant upload them with "visitor" status

[rocky cove]

true. but my pc broke 😂😂😂

[sinful elbow]

ah, this will be lifted over time. With visitor you just gotta enjoy publics and interact with people, get some friends and enjoy the game. After that you get new user and then you can start uploading to your hearts content

[rocky cove]

is therw any way to make avis on vrc without a puter

[sinful elbow]

No unfortunately not

[rocky cove]

oh ok

[plain merlin]

Well

There is readyplayer.me

[rocky cove]

worst ever site. mouth doesnt move and u cant upload to w
quest accs

[plain merlin]

Not saying it's good, but you wanted an option "without a puter"

[rocky cove]

yea but the puter is brokey

[plain merlin]

And you can with quest.

Just not a quest account.

Seeing the avatar with a quest is also another story..... don't know about that.

[sinful elbow]

Ah, sorry bout that, didnt know about that site.

[rocky cove]

😂😂😂 quest bad 😂😂😂

[cold vine]

nice... then I will try to add some people

[plain merlin]

Quest has it's place, but yeah... for beginning users it's way to confusing.

And for most advanced users to limiting to do something with it.

[opaque locust]

I'm just here to say thanks for driving a wedge between me and all my friends that I've made on VRChat. Now everyone is arguing over to stay with VRC or move on to Neos or Chillout VR and I'm just staying off anything VR related. and yes I know PPL are going to say "Bruh you still on about that" but yes it is something that will remain a topic until it is resolved.

[rocky cove]

vrc is still cool

[sinful elbow]

While we appreciate your feedback, im not sure if the offical discord (in a gen 2 chat) would be the most effective way to voice your criticism.

[rocky cove]

eac didnt change batshiz

[plain merlin]

None of my friends are moaning about that, says something about the people you hangout with.

[opaque locust]

Everyone has different experiences with everything I'm only sharing mine

[opaque locust]

I prefer it to be made public that this game built bonds in the past but is now tearing them apart

[opaque locust]

It changed that steam rating

[plain merlin]

Dunno, think EAC is just a nice example of "why we can't have nice things".

[rocky cove]

LMAO

[opaque locust]

Indeed

So when are we having mirror stare MLG

[mossy meteor]

We even have personal mirrors to practice with

e z

[plain merlin]

What I mean with that is.... modded clients have been a serious problem, so now we have have to suffer EAC because some smooth brains could not help it to ruin it.

[mossy meteor]

aw no we're doing this again

[opaque locust]

The fact that they implemented EAC before the support for disabilities (that the modded clients provided) shows priority

[mossy meteor]

It really doesn't, it shows that you can assume.
They stated when this whole thing started that the reason it was pushed so quickly was because they found a modded client that was able to do a lot more then just mod vrc and could send malware to other pcs. it was incredibly harmful to the players of vrc.

[opaque locust]

It should have been add features for them then fix everything that the mods fixed then EAC

[plain merlin]

There were several pressing issues, as it all brings back down to "why we can't have nice things"

[opaque locust]

And they are not there now

[mossy meteor]

Yeah, thanks to EAC

[opaque locust]

Because Mods are banned on other games but PPL still use them

[cyan sun]

if a way of protecting the player wasnt implemented, no one would be safe or play vrc, disabled or not

[mossy meteor]

If someone doesn't like vrc because of EAC then there are other games for them, but coming into a server based on a game you arent happy with and complaining there isn't gonna do you much good

[plain merlin]

It's not hard to implement modifications to a client if there is no server side to verify. Basically every cracked game is a modded client.

[cyan sun]

cus eac isnt going any time soon...

[mossy meteor]

People going to CVR are gonna be in for a real shocker when they have to deal with the same issues

And neos open ended design just needs a big enough group of malicious users to really do some damage, they're lucky what small community they have is good, for now

[open crescent]

Don't forget neos has been dead for a year with the devs' eternal in-fighting/drama, as well as all the cryptoshit

[mossy meteor]

Mhm facts

anybody wanna hop in vc and play freeze tag (mic isnt working atm)

[fossil shadow]

I'm sorry sheep, hey man just make sure you don't think its your fault or anything

[stuck parrot]

There are communities for that, but you aren’t going to find them on the official VRC discord, for reasons that should be obvious.

Nope, you get timeouts and bans if you merely mention the well known names.

[halcyon oxide]

Hi

[forest rover]

Has anyone run into this issue when trying to re connect their oculus? My boyfriend is done making his meta account and he’s to the point where he needs to get the code.. but it keeps giving him an error message and he can’t even get a code at all right now. He hasn’t been able to use his quest in 3 days already.. does he need better WiFi to get the code?

[fossil shadow]

huh had a few ppl say that so far you might want to contact their support

I have yet to try signing in after merging my account

[vital drum]

Anyone want to be friends

[idle brook]

It's not just you, its me too.

[granite fox]

"support" meta doesn't have support. as far as the experiences I've had with them, it's nonexistent

I had an issue merging a few hours ago and they said my oculus password was incorrect. so I reset it. and to reset it, you need to put the password in. so my password was right the whole time.

so basically their stuff is broke and I had to use my facebook account..

[hallow acorn]

Check the email connected to his oculus or Facebook account and make sure he still has access to it, and make sure that the oculus home app and his default browser are open on his PC, since most of the process is done from the browser

[supple nexus]

hi, has anyone ever seen a world in vrchat that allows you to play 3d video's (sbs or from youtube) with actual depth and not just a 2d screen?

i've personally never seen anything like that but it would be really cool and just seems like a thing that would exist somewhere

[hallow acorn]

There's probably an app for it on steam or the oculus store, don't think anything like that exists in vrchat

[supple nexus]

best thing i can think of is bigscreen but i don't know if it actually supports 3D, 360 or 180 degree video's

if anyone knows of a world like that existing it would be awesome

but i guess the chances are slim xD

[ruby needle]

Can you be a bit more precise?

[ruby needle]

@rotund flume You already asked that in #vrchat-general-1 and where given advice to use #user-support-old instead.
Please do so.

[rotund flume]

@ruby needle I did. I even posted on Reddit and another discord. Either nobody believes me or i get a troll answer

[ruby needle]

If no one knows an answer, you should still not go around and post in all the other places repeatedly.
The #vrchat-support is the place you can ask in cases users can't help you.

[carmine jay]

Anyone know if there is a naruto rp in vrchat

[carmine jay]

Why does no one ever answer my question on the discord

[empty sigil]

Well you are in general 2
Also to answer you, you could just search "naruto" in the world tab

[carmine jay]

Yeah but I wanna be in a naruto rp. Like how there are clone rp's.

[empty sigil]

Well if there aren't any ones available you can always try to host your own

Let me rephrase, no connecting to the meta website?

[vocal shard]

Omg, i just hit the celling with with my controller

Fortunately my controller is still fine

But i'm still suprised that i hit the celling, it's not that low of a celling

[rain violet]

U got hops?

[leaden bobcat]

That’s why there’s bands to prevent that from happening

[hallow acorn]

He was playing a flight sim, levitated off the ground and hit the ceiling

Happens to the best of us

[full sail]

Can agree, gravity occasionally just turns off and I high-five the ceiling with my entire body

((Less memer response, the ceilings of my home are a rough foot above my head so I have to consciously not raise my arms too fast/high. I know the feels of accidentally knuckle-dusting the paint))

[rocky thorn]

Why is the floor in vrchat not where I set it to

I set my floor to my floor and in vrchat the floor is lower down

And my height is set correctly

[full sail]

This can be a couple things. Either setting your height to match the avatar you are currently using, having OVR reset the floor space settings, or; if you use base stations; resetting the base station room view

[rocky thorn]

This is in my quest 2, doesn't matter what height I set myself to, the floor is never at the right height

[full sail]

Mmm. I’m sorry I can’t speak to Quest-ions. Never had one so the legwork is a bit different :<

[golden sage]

Double check your guardian is set up right

[vocal shard]

What hops?

[vocal shard]

Which bands?

[vocal shard]

For me it's higher so i can no-clip my hands a few centimeters through the floor and hide/pick things from the backrooms

[rocky thorn]

Bruh

I try to sit on the floor and my avatar is just crouching

[vocal shard]

I try to crouch and my avatar is lying on the floor but when i lie on the floor with the headset at the lowest heigh it's perfectly fine

And as my avatar doesn't have mobile shoulders it works as if it had shorter arms when in certain angles

[rocky thorn]

Vrchat should have it's own height calibration

[leaden bobcat]

On the oculus controller

[glacial temple]

Will vrc support cambria face and eye tracking from day one?

[vocal shard]

The wrist straps?

[leaden bobcat]

Yea

[vocal shard]

How do i have to put them?

I was holding the controllers, i never released them, is not like i threw them

[leaden bobcat]

So you just threw your arms up

[vocal shard]

Well...

In VR i was trying to hit something that was really fucking high up

[frank silo]

relax my dude you've asked three times already

[full pier]

sos

[leaden bobcat]

So you jumped? Or your just tall? be like me and be short

[vocal shard]

I am tall AND jumped

[leaden bobcat]

That must have been pretty high up 😭

What game we’re you playing that you needed you to jump

[vocal shard]

And somehow my controller didn't explode

[willow torrent]

Just press a

[lyric eagle]

Are you using fbt?

[willow torrent]

Anyway hello community of VrChat!

[vocal shard]

That is like a 15 cm jump, i needed to jump way higher than that

Worst thing, it happened like at 6:37 and i think i just jump scared the neighbours that live on the upper floor while they were sleeping

[vocal shard]

Randomly jump scaring neighbours in their sleep for no reason without even being in the same room:

[leaden bobcat]

😭😭

[vocal shard]

In that moment i was scared of in the trouble that i thought i was going to get, but nobody came, now i am laughing at how the neighbours would have been randomly awaken with something having hit their floor from underneath XD

[rocky thorn]

Nope just my headset and controllers

[full sail]

Ahhhhhhh, this suddenly gives more insight to the floor being offset

[leaden crypt]

Does anyone know why i keep getting timed out on vrchat

[ruby needle]

[long notch]

My internet will disconnect itself during intense loading periods (i,.e heavy worlds or worlds with lots of avatars) when I'm playing vrchat

This is pretty much exclusive to vrchat as far as I know this doesn't really happen with other vr games

Any insights into how to fix this would be awesome

[kind ledge]

can you search a specific community labs world?

[ruby needle]

Sounds like you might be using WiFi

[pearl moth]

@long notch use a hotspot if you can or even get a router thats optimized for vr and use an ethernet cable going from your wifi modem to the router in a place where you play the most

[long notch]

Im using an ETHERNET cable actually

[pearl moth]

you got a router ?

[long notch]

Yes

[pearl moth]

whats the brand name

[long notch]

I don't know sadly

[pearl moth]

damn well i invested in one called the Archer Gx90

[long notch]

Alright ill look into that

[pearl moth]

its a little pricey but worth it, you wont crash at all unless sometimes a storm, it does get a little laggy sometimes but thats the wifi of the house not the router

ever since i got mine i havent crashed its amazing

Ill keep that in mind, thanks!
