Some people here have the same issue as you, in which it's suspected to be API issue with VRChat server
No problem
do instances finally refresh>
Idk about others but for me it's still broken
vrchat is broken asf
Welcome to VrChat
looks fine to me. im literally in vrc right now.
Vrchat is broken?
Vrchat is perfectly fine, i'm online on it right know 
the instances says 0 for all the worlds
Thats pretty normal
Log out and log back in? #user-support-old
is it just me or pcvr is started to lag more often now
Lag is completely subjective to the person and the hardware/world you're in.
Anyone know why my content cache download was 4gb now has gone down to 500mb It used to last weeks now only an hour
the game automatically clears out old content that has not been used for a while.

hi @hidden echo
But yeah basically I started VRC on Quest in January 2021 because a friend wanted me to help him stream vr among us because that was trending at the time
I like immediately got sucked into vrc after my first session and shortly commissioned a model of my character for the app
Long story short, the model sucked, needed a ton of refinements, and was like omega very poor on quest
So that forced me to learn how to use blender, how to optimize, and upload my first avatar myself
oh dear that sucks
It was a process that was fun enough that it made me want to start making lots of content for vrc
Pog
not quite the same thing but I ended up learning blender as a previous social world I was in before VR chat I tried to bring in some models I made in SketchUp and they didn't render correctly at all so I had to fix the models in blender
Then I wanted to get into porting game models so I joined discords dedicated to that and met a group of vrc creators who had been doing that since 2018 and I just kind of fell in with them
I had used blender on and off since 2014 or so so I had a little experience with it, but vrc boosted my 3D knowledge tenfold and it’s now what I’m getting a degree in
I hope that goes well your degree
Hell I posted my fully from scratch first base model to gumroad a couple months ago and it’s made good sales and reviews so vrc really forged a career path for me lol
awesome
It’s funny because for most vrc creators they start with pc and eventually move to quest
Meanwhile I started with quest and am moving into pc territory with custom shaders and particles and constraints
So yeah I guess just playing around so many longtime PC users I figured more of the user base uploaded at least something
Even if it was just a base model or a poor game model port
not at all representative of the average user
Yeah I see that now lol
I noticed that when I actually go into quest publics, especially of worlds I’ve made, people FREAK out over meeting a creator
I’ll never forget I met some kid in my South Park world who changed his bio to “I met Davilos im basically famous” after meeting me last year
lol
And I was just so confused because normally when it comes to content I’m like lower on the totem pole compared to my friends
It's always fun seeing a creator out in the wild. It's like seeing a minor celebrity.
Especially if you make stuff for quest users
They seem to be used to getting the scraps so to speak so if you make content specifically for them they just explode
the folks I tend to hang out with every day on vrchat has a decent amount of a world makers and various Avatar base makers when including friend of friends
Two of my friends ive roped into vrc from real life and even they’re starting to look into making avatars (or at least commissioning me to make stuff for em)
But man completely different train of thought but
myself I have a decent amount of irl friends that play vrchat
I hope the Quest 3 bumps up vrc Quest’s performance limits just a bit
All I ask for is 15k more tris
And maybe one additional material slot
they're not going to touch the limits as they want the extra processing power to have extra frame rate not go back to the same amount of terrible frame rate but with more triangles
Yeah makes sense
Probably gonna need to wait until the q3 gets to be a majority of quest users if ot ever happens
Almost all of my avatars fall into Medium but a little extra wiggle room would be appreciated
I have a singular Very Poor on my account and that eats at me because the character just has too many little parts and details to shave tris off of
At least I optimized it so that the only very poor stat is 60k tris, everything else is poor or better
Which is a minor miracle considering the hair on the character alone had almost 200 bones
cool
Bruh, even on pc you probably don't need that many
like one stat I don't see changing in a hurry even when the quest 3 is popular is Max file size because of ram concerns
To be fair the model was from a game and only really used in cutscenes, so the devs could get away with it being unoptimized
Oh absolutely. I hit the max file size like twice ever and that was because I put a 200+mb Hatsune miku dance on the avatar
Like nowadays it’s so easy to compress textures down to excellent or good just because of ASTC compression
I’m definitely glad I have a Quest Pro though because I used to vram crash all the time on Q2
honestly the ram increase is going to be the nicest part of the quest 3
For sure
I’ll probably still daily drive the Pro because of eye tracking but definitely picking up a 3 for development purposes
and I honestly Wonder Quest Worlds would look a bit nicer if folks were a bit more knowledgeable on tricks for squeezing as much utilization as possible out of textures & knowing how to minimize their vram usage
I recently started optimizing my quest world textures because before the vram performance stat I didn’t know how bad it was
like I was chatting with the creator of the furry Museum map @vivid wraith about all the various Channel packing Shenanigans he gets up to
like he has a bunch of black and white artwork that he Channel packs four of them into one texture
Yep
Using shaders like XSToon have really gotten me into channel packing
Because like every single map that shader takes has different functions for the R, G, B, and sometimes A channels
At least y'all can use some custom shaders in quest worlds. I'd like if we could use some on avis but I know people'd just abuse them
Substance painter is awesome because it exports smoothness, metallic, and AO into one texture
ambient occlusion only uses the green channel so you can Channel pack that into metallic smoothness for the the standard Shader
See what I think would be nice
Is if there was a quest shader whitelist program
Kind of like the sponsored Unity packages in the creator companion
I don't see transparency ever getting whitelisted for Quest avatars
Submit your optimized mobile shaders to be usable on quest avatars
Don’t need it, I just want a Quest shader that can
A. Do additive matcaps
B. Take light ramps
I just want like a very basic XSToon on quest
Which yes I know that ToonLit quite literally is XSToon’s code, but I want an actual shadow ramp shader on quest that supports stuff like normal maps and specular as well
Channel-packing 4 channels into one texture allows all of those maps to look better than if they were each handled as DXT1, for half the video memory, and only one sample. But VRC has harsh limits on what shaders are permitted for Quest, so a lot of these very basic game dev tricks to optimize can't be used.
hi Sotalo
you can use whatever shaders you like for worlds minus grab passes so still some of the optimization that can be done for worlds
Yep
Honestly it’s a minor miracle VRC runs as well as it does on quest when people care so little about optimization most of the time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YR_tIFykcs kind of a long shot but does anyone know what world they're on in this video? been trying to find it forever with no luck
also if there's a better channel for this let me know!
Not for Avatars, though.
Baba boowi
I also recently found out fallback shaders for avatars require a specific naming convention and independent texture maps for everything that isn't channel-packed. And I can't find any options to make a custom fallback shader under the requirements. So the technique, while essential for gamedev, and can be useful for worlds, can't be used on avatars, where it would absolutely be the most useful. Metallic, smoothness, AO, and masks/emission lines could all be driven by a single texture.
you can Channel pack the ambient occlusion metallic and smoothness all-in-one texture under the standard Shader
There were some hard requirements from what I understand. Like putting this info in alpha of another, and only one channel could be used at a time. It also demands the normals be in a standalone texture, even though only 2 channels are needed. And colors also need a full RGB texture, no reconstruction allowed. Not only that, but BC4 reads as red, not gray. So the option for high quality grayscale anything is tossed out the window.
But yet VRChat Standard lite decides to use the G and A channels, so you can't use an RG only format to save on VRAM... (Pretty sure there are compressed RG formats available)
I'm having trouble on both VRChat apps on the quest 2 store. I normally play VRchat beta, but recently it shows every room as empty like I'm the only one online. The normal VRChat app everyone just shows up as a transparent diamond like everyones avatar is infinitely loading.
So does the custom emoji only work with vrchat plus?
Yes, it's a vrc+ feature and currently it's only in open beta.
Bottom line:
- You can do anything in a custom shader, and in worlds, with tools like Amplify (YAY!). I highly recommend everyone include shader-making as part of their process. Poiyomi and other shaders have many options to channel pack, but on a fundamental level the best way to optimize is to make shaders specific to your needs, using only the channels and features you need, at the quality you need, with vertex colors, mirroring, etc. all used to drive up quality and file sizes down. Anything short of custom shaders will hinder your ability to optimize.
- For Avatars, every map needs to be independent and named after the same texture slots to be compatible with fallback shaders. Otherwise, your fallback shader will be all white for anyone refusing to show your shader. I'm thinking on sticking with the all white look to force people to show my shaders to get the correct, optimized appearance.
The Standard shader has harsh limitations preventing many of these methods from being used, but it does allow certain optimizations:
- ✅ Smoothness channel can be derived from either Metallic alpha or Albedo alpha. However...
- ❌ DOES NOT support BC4 optimization for Occlusion, Height, Masks, Metallic, or anything that only requires a single channel. All of these need full-blown RGB textures for each channel at BC7 for appropriate quality, which requires double the texture size, and looks much worse.
- ❌DOES NOT support RGB/HSV reconstruction. If you want two colors, you have to use 3 channels on a single texture. There's no way around this.
- ✅ DOES support BC5 optimization for Normal Maps. Doesn't improve file size, but does improve quality dramatically.
- ✅ DOES support UV set 0 and 1 for tiling normals/detail maps. First set can be a trim sheet, second can be more even UVs.
- 🔶 DOES support custom tiling in X and Y directions to allow mirrored textures, but DOES NOT unmirror normal maps or permit multiple tilings.
- ❌ DOES NOT support vertex colors for anything.
Well this chat is pretty empty
Does anyone know how to shoot a music video on vrc
complicated question that entirely depends on your vision/goals
in-game cameras or user accounts as cameras, how much could be handled by post-processing/editing, etc
hire an in-game photographer/cinematographer to use the flying drone camera, maybe?
endless possibilities
Ok
Can u do it?
😅 uh... probably not
most I've done is film a podcast. you could try searching for "music video" in this Discord or on Google to see if there are people who do it professionally
or if you've seen VRC music vids before, figure out who ran those
Open obs. Select vrchat.exe window. Record.
is anyone else having an issue where they dont see people in worlds, and dont see instances? (plz @ me)
Have you tried updating vrchat?
yes, ive also uninstalled and reinstalled
no
came here to say this
reminder there was a (network-incompatible) update pushed, so
hm. 
Hello
I have a question
Can I ask here
Certainly can and you might get an answer
Man, if only the Open Beta was network-compatible to Live version. I was hoping to see how good the avatar cache clearing from RAM works in crowded public instances
Memory leak has always been a headache issue with it
Eh? that feature should be live
It was only on Open Beta before, and I couldn't join any trending public instances without "Game Version Mismatch" error
Obviously, the open beta test was not network compatible.. but the open beta testing ended for those features. They should be in the live client now. Please read #announcements
Oh, but you can see it now... so?
shrugs

Dunno if this is the place to ask for it but a friend is trying to get together a group for Blackout and we're looking for people
So like... social deduction things
https://apps.apple.com/hk/app/full-body-tracking-for-vrchat/id1527542773?platform=iphone I find this one and it is free
Does this support Android?
Seems not yet
Aww
if anyone wants to be friends please I need to meet more people and get out of my shell so dm me(if u have suggestions to worlds PLEASE let me know.)
Looks like AMD released a preview driver for the 7000 series GPUS that should fix the vr performance issue. Is there anyone that has tried it yet?
Public worlds do wonders for this kind of thing you know.
yes just sometimes some worlds are better than others
Gotta experiment, my dude.
depends
usually meet trolls in public that spam shit in the mic
I've only ever seen a handful of those kind of people.
If quest 1 support is going to end does that mean vrchat will be able to increase the the limits for quest 2? Like quest 1 and 2 used the same system but quest 1 is limited to 10mb so both headsets are limited to that but the quest 2 could have been 15mb or better without the quest 1 holding it back and with all the performance boost meta has done through updates.
As developers have already stated many times and many places, no, not for now.
Q2 is still not a performance wonder at all
basically all of the current performance limitations are for the Quest 2
So give it a few more years if we still here.
Hopefully quest 3 will do some magic
it's not magic
like don't expect the transparency restrictions on Quest shaders to ever go away
as even though the quest 3 is more powerful it's still a tile-based Android renderer
You honestly can't except much from quest, its doing what it can with what It has
It will never live up to what people want, its just going to be the thing it can
I think vrchat running as it is on Quest in general is already a miracle. As in, as far I know it's the only app on Quests where the content is largely outside the control of the developers.
It would be a miracle as well when VRChat is played on a smartphone

Next is vrchat being able playable on smart fridge
😆
is anyone having the problem where you cant fav avis??? me and all my friends are having the prob so idk what to do cuz idk how to fix it-
if the smart fridge is using Android that wouldn't be difficult at all
I am I have restarted but idk what to do
k
I can’t even favorite worlds
Hey anyone wanna play vrchat?
whats vrchat never heard of it never oops
same
yeah im having the same thing happening
Idk if there trying to update it or what
i cant fav anything
Same
Nah its using microwave
Anyone know why things seem to lag when my headset moves around, but the game is running at 90 fps? Im using a 3080 and 5800x3d
maybe asynchronous spacewarp or whatever it's called
if you have it enabled, try disabling it
hello,would like to ask a question about vrchat on quest 2,i got quest 2 recently,but my quest controllers already have drift.so i tried using hand tracking in vrchat just now,i figured out how to open the menu,but how do i walk around? dont know how to walk in vrchat wiht had tracking
thank you 🙂
No problem
Hand tracking was shit it was hard to move and play
Ello
Am i the only one having issues with the avatar list?
Am i the only guy with favorite avatar updating error?
Read up
have they ever commented on the bug that consistently sets appearing as rank to user? some days every 30 minutes i have to set myself back to trusted over and over again every time i join a new instance and occasionally while sitting in that instance it randomly sets me to user and i have to double click my appearing as rank button
this has been an issue for so many months
Make a canny report
anyone wanna watch youtube or a movie with me in vr
Poo
I played with Fillian
👍
poggers
One day we will get the data permanence update
who trying to play
maybe sooner than you think, if you know where to look 👀
Hello! I have a question. So one of my 1.0 htc base station has a red dot on it. The other one works and I used them last night and this morning the one with the red dot will not connect.
A brief Google search suggests an internal/mechanical failure, though it's possible a firmware update could fix it
yea red light usually means its dead
So does it need to be charged? Or it just doesn't work?
dead as in doesnt work anymore
They're powered directly from the wall plug, so
one of my base stations had a red light and i just had to get a new one
Maybe try unplugging/plugging in the cable?
Thank you so much!
both from the wall and from the unit itself? (I'm not as familiar with 1.0s)
Yea I'm not familiar with it too. This question is for a friend of mine
if they plug it back in and the light goes red again, its probably broken
best to either get a new one or look at warranty (but since its a 1.0 im guessing warranty will be expired)
Sup everyone

Hi
hey
anyone else having issues loading into vrchat?
I'm trying to log in to my VRChat account but it's not sending me my one-time code? It happens both in-game and on the website. Anyone else with this problem?
#user-support-old but also check your verification email or phone number to check if it's correct and check spam because sometimes it goes there
How would I check if it's correct if I don't have access to my account? I'll try user support, thanks
Is there any cool worlds you would recomend?
ADRIFT is kinda neat if you like trippy shit.
But saying if you're using quest or PC can be helpful, as well as maybe what you like. "Cool" can be many different types of worlds.
Using Vr chat over steam
Yo
oy
How everyone doin
Warm
I have sweatpants and long sleeve shirt and it is above a comfy temp in my area
i got a question
would anyne happen to know why every server in vr chat says 0 players?
its been happening like all week
It's a server bug.
Is it me or is vrchat's servers funky today and yesterday?
yea i just read a thread about it, we gotta wait til next patch
hii
Dang, when is the next patch going be?
It comes when it's ready.
Fair enough!
Hi
hru
Good and yourself?
Hi
idk kinda feeling down
Sorry to hear that! Hopefully everything gets better
Hi
idk
Whats up Jazzy?
Hello!
Hope you're doing well!
idk feels like everyone hates me rn
I am, yourself? :)
😊
Can i paint somebody something in vr? am bored 😄
Nice!
Yeah! Also, glad you're doing well yourself.
😁
sure?
Hi
Ello
Hii
Hi there.
Playing val wby
I was just playing VR
Ello
hello
You're not alone
Out of context that sounds like a threat

It also sounds like alien encounter
just realized us blowing into the space between our quest joysticks is the modern equivalent of blowing into a cartage
Hihi yall
Hihi
Hello, how are ya
I’m good, how are you?
Hi
Hey i keep getting error when i try to launch vrchat on my pc
Good morning everyone ☀️☀️
You told me to check for a answer, I get it but how do I fix it?
You don't.
Do you have friends online?
Nvm didn't work
I think there’s been some confusion here
I’m not the one in trouble
There are only 4 of you
That’s not enough to stop me
Uh?
Hi, hope everyone is having a good day.
I'm alright thankss
my back hurts
My forehead hurts
Agreed. Thank you
Np UwU
what is some good game to get in to?
Terraria, I have like 2k hours in it
Plus modded stuff is awesome
Remember to use the Wiki if you’re lost
I have it just can play it alone
Can or can’t?
Can't sorry lol
That’s alright, it’s a bit of a drag if you’re not dedicated
Yeah true, I just get some start playing with some and they never want play again so just stuck doing it all back my self.
You need to either have some really dedicated friends or just play through the whole thing alone
Let me introduce you to a world I love.
https://twitter.com/2nc_p/status/1675184559498104833
Fucking twitter (I dislike twitter :> )
I hatched 1000 event eggs in arm wrestling simulator
https://youtu.be/cG0t_9y7kGs
Hatch 1001 and we'll talk
Gotcha
Where can I get the symbols that are compatible for my vrc username?
👀 Like what?
Just use a decent username instead
I refuse to add anyone that has an "annoying" username lol
Ok genuine curiosity, is my name under that label? (asking since I'll get a genuine answer)
my actual one not server name
No, I mean acii names that looks like someone had a stroke while writing
ooooh ok
I don't know how people think it's cool 🤷 just use normal characters like the rest of us.
I sadly have no choice but to use a unicode letter since my preferred name is taken (but doesn't seem used).
If it's just a letter or two, that's fine. But not your entire name with silly symbols next to it (usually it's a cross or something on either side) reminds me of old Xbox names with xXBingusXx
Crosses usually denote you're part of a crasher group or someone not to trust.
I usually judge people by the groups they're in too. If they're a part of any, I block on the spot usually.
Groups are like a second bio to me
*unicode names
Yeee, thank
but yes they are pretty cringe
remind me of when I was like 12
those people probably are around that age I guess
doesnt anyone have any uploaded public girl avatars i can clone:3

Anyone want to hang out?
Hello, I would like to know if the permanent ban from the game can be revoked? I was banned from the game 2 years ago and would like to know if you can revoke it. @sharp rose
the irony of this is palpable

why?
#rules Give that a quick read.
That said: moderation team handles bans and appeals, I don't touch those.
I don't have to ping you
No you don't, but you did. 
Keyword: appeal?


Why did you get banned
?
They're an avatar ripper, uploading files for Avis without paying for them
No callouts.
You can submit moderation reports trough the ticket system.
Make sure to include conclusive evidence.
Meh too much work, I wasn't calling him out but he randomly blocked me and I was trying to figure out why.
I don't care enough tho
wasn't calling him out
openly giving out his name in a public channel
Continues to complain about person they definitely dont care about
De nacho man returneth.
The fastest, simplest means of getting someone like that addressed, is reports. If you're not willing to submit reports, we certainly can't force you to. But, it shouldn't be surprising if unreported people, tend to go unnoticed at times.
Dawg y'all so dramatic it was a message saying "wtf' it's not a big deal
does a callout
"It's not a callout"
But it's as sache said, reporting here is talking to the wind, nothing will happen unless there is an actual report on the correct place
is there a place where i could ask help for unity?
Yep. Depends on what, though. Avatar, world, or something related to the Creator Companion?
i think it has something to do with the sdk. i'm having issues with parameters for my avi. went to the unity server and they told me to come here because the sdk is different n stuff
Anyone wanna hang out and watch movies or just chill in pug or something? 25+ only lol
hi guys how i make it in steam when i go to launch vrchat it run OVR toolkit together
Can someone help?
Today I'm having a connection to my home world issue, wtf?
This is after clearing cache, this can happen right?
Just go to steam and click launch on both individually
im steam vr settings somewhere u can go into settings and toggle which apps launch with vrchat
wich headset should i buy ? that you can use on pc steam
Valve index
k ty
Fair warning, cost around 900
they have a huge limit apparently dont even worry about it
i got 2 questions: 1) is eye tracking native support gonna b a thing still and 2) is anyone else having issues with the new sdk (not CC) not working? like im missing only the avatar descriptor so ive been using an older sdk
If punkbuster was running in the background and Eac was running while VRChat was open, would they conflict?
Does that use EAC?
Punkbuster is another anti-cheat
eac only conflicts with eac games
so if its not using eac there shouldnt be any issues
so u can't run 2 eac games at the same time
so as long as its not eac for the anti-cheat it should be fine
Sheesh, so many anti-cheat solutions.
Xbox Live!
Wait, would having punkbuster open trigger Eac?
No it shouldn’t because it’s not eac
Also
No clue what games r even using punk buster these days….
Seems to be mostly on Battlefield.
*use to be
Pretty sure the last one was 4
Still shouldn’t effect eac at least I don’t think so
some eac games let u
vrc does im pretty sure
i remember playing rust and vrc at the same time not too long ago
@ember tundra I have something you want
What may that be
I meant to ping you in off topic
xD
My bad 😭
Does anyone wanna join me in an escape room in vrchat?
Hello
Roast me for my opinion
I hate anime characters in vr chat
Goofy ah characters >>>>>
i too; hate wo-
nvm it is down
Is vr chat down for y’all
whats happening? well now i wanna check
your status scares me
I just saw it now too dear god
I’m trying to load in and it keeps doing it over and over. It won’t let me load into my home world
*ahem* #server-status
defy the server's physics. get in anyways
Had to come see what was going on since I saw people talking about it, this is a new one for me. lol
I didn’t know how to get there that’s why I asked here
Hah, loaded and getting booted from the error world now. XD
yeah loading loop unfortunate
Ofc it happens to me after I just wanna relax after a days worth of grinding brawlhalla ranked -_-
Same
time for us to go touch grass i guess
I have been off all day😭
lol
Ooh, sitting in error world, no insta-boot.
Yeah same I was playing brawlhalla all day and started getting tilted so I got on vrchat to « chill and relax » only to realize vrchat is down
i decided to just alt f4 my vrchat
Is anyone else having difficulies with vrc?
Oh wait it’s back
Yes
Guys I’m in
nani
Yep, just got into my home world
Woohooo
seems like they fixed it. sometimes i like to think its just like a desync in some code over time that requires just a reset that causes the issue to be fixed.
Nvm, I was wondering cause it was just my headset having issues getting in, but not my pc
Also, I'm on if anyone wants to join(if ya can)
Id join but i seem to have an issue with keeping trustable friends lately
I end up with guys who just shove me away
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a rough time, my dms are open if you need to talk to someone
Thanks
Np
I got a laptop
Is there some sort of third party particle editor people use to make particle shows and sync them to music?
Lol
Nope, people spend up to weeks manually animating a whole song with particle systems
wow, impressive stuff, that's amazing
I thought you went to join a friend
Im sorry i got scared and thought u blocked me
Second time thats happened to me
Vrc is dumb for telling me where my friends r even in offline list
It shows them as off my friends list when they load into somwhwere else
Making me think i was blocked
I didnt have anyone to see
I left sad
Nobody was talking to me
Oh, I'm sorry, still on if ya wanna join me
I will in a bit just afk
🦖🦕
Hey
I'm like hungover and like want someone to talk to and stuff.
I need help I'm a quest user every time I try to play vrc it kicks me I don't know what to do can anyone help???
Ping me anytime I shall return probably…🤔
Ping
Sleepy and headache
I’m not a doctor and I’ve never experienced hangover before cause of a medical condition but I’m sure it shall feel better in the next sentry…
That's so long T-T
So 5:00 causes you were up all night?
Hm?
When you sent the first message
If so that’s some serious skill lol
I wouldn’t be able to stand
I didn't see your text heckles
But yea I've been up
I'm just amazing
Ye ye
anyone here with vr vr prescription lenses should i add ZEISS blue protect for extra 30 euro I don’t know if it’s help or not plz help
probably nah
also don't spam the same in multiple channels
I got it on mine just for the hell of it.
lmao
if people without glasses can use a headset without an extra blue light filter, I def think you don't need it. Unless it's for the luls like artemus here
Well, it's more of an anti-glare coating on mine.
And they have a slight red or blue tinge to the lenses under light, which I found pretty cool.
@jaunty roost howd that avatar turn out
i’ve never really thought abt prescription lenses in a headset i just wear contacts
👀
More!
it is for me too
Do yk why like if hes not in the chag or sum
Bc of i pinged him j would like for him to see it
Hm?
I pinged a avi maker and it came out as number instead
Yea
Hes someguy i was talking to yesterday
Today I met someone who is sensitive to a lot of visual lighting effects, many of which are used in VRChat. They can't go to most worlds anymore, including all popular public hangout worlds because of this.
Before EAC, they used mods to disable these lighting effects so they could go to any world they wanted.
Could options to achieve this be implemented in VRChat? It was honestly really sad to hear how this person used to like exploring VRC and meeting new people and is now stuck in a select few worlds that don't have many visitors.
I don't know if I'm pinging the right person here, but perhaps you could help bring this to the VRC team's attention? @peak orchid
No one of us moderators will play a message proxy
You can always submit sugestions at https://feedback.vrchat.com
I'm sure the person themself didn't already do that and I have so much faith that will be effective
Whats a message proxy
The same as any other proxy
Idek what a proxy is
Also im sorry but i think hes right ive never seen a game where they do fix things from the feedback stuff
messenger essentially
Okay thank you
I don't know why it's pretty strange that happened but I don't know who you talking to
Oh hes some guy i met last night
He was tryinf to fix a problem with a avi he was making
but I don't know who's the name
Sealy
kiegkillsreality?
yeah that's the reason he left so I don't see everywhere here
Bc i pinged him or bc he couldnt figure it iut?
What is your favorite vrchat world
I kinda like the world ADRIFT for no particular reason but personally, fractal love is one of my favorites.
My favorite is spider liar
Uganda is pretty nice too

You can literally turn off particles & light from the safety system as well as bloom from the settings (which can cause reflective or lighted up materials to be bright)
huh.

me and everyone else in this lobby are having ping issues again
same here
same
Ig VRC stubbed its toe, Ping spikes. . .
I need a world creator for my boyfriend. it's his birthday tmr and I don't know what to do, also I want to say this in all caps but I cant
Look on the vrc traders discord or smthn
one day sounds kinda impossible for a commission tho
Because typing it in caps will definitely speed things up
Unless you make like a super simple world
Sadge

do not type things in me
Nah we are all dormant
nice
The word "finna" looks so... alien. 
Anybody know if there’s any Zombies in Spaceland avatars (preferably for quest)
Imagine actually showing me where to go and being helpful

Joking man thanks
Work is slow AF someone send me memes
Lol im sorry but i dont think theres a single meme in this discord atleat that ik of
How are you at work when you're 14?
If they’re in America, you can get a job at 13 lol
Reeeeally? I thought the minimum age was 15. 
it is
In some states
in texas
In FL and I think NY it’s 14 with parent approval
Just can’t work over certain hours
Hello 🙂
14 ? I'm old as fuck
So am I.
But yeah I'm at work 🥹and I want to go the fuck home and play video games
🦕🦖 rawr

In germany you can start with 13, but it needs to be a easy job like babysitting, cutting the lawn or delivering small units of newspaper. On the age of 15 you're allowed to work fulltime, but only 40 hours a week for max 4 weeks and only in the holidays
How the fuck did you get on this topic I'm not 14
Dammit the min age is 16 in Britain. I can't wait to get a job though, they all mostly pay around £10 an hour and I can't wait to actually have money to buy things with. I hope I can buy the Quest 3 with my own money when it releases
that's a pretty low pay 
Any money is better than no money for me!
Hello
Hey someone wanna hop on vrc with me
pizza or chicken
chicken pizza
sounds like a good idea, is it a good idea? i'll find out
All ideas are good until they turn out bad 
Question about quest, merged my oculus account to VRC. Is there a way to block or disable the headset from being able to use the oculus log in feature that doesn't require me to log in? Let my nephews play VR while they were here and they just logged right in to VRC.
I think you'd have to log out and log into a different meta account ig? Atleast that's how it works on pc with the steam login. No way to stop it from logging in other than not being logged into steam/oculus
Ok. I'll give that a try. I thought when I merged it would make to where I had to log in each time if I logged out of the last game.
i was hoping someone could help me with something because i’ve tried everything and don’t know where else to go. my ovr advanced settings randomly stopped working, i’ve tried countless fixes like resetting it and uninstalling and reinstalling but literally nothing has worked, does anyone know how i can fix it so it works again?
Does anyone know how to make a discord server more engaging?
just not launching or what?
it launches fine but the space drag literally just doesn’t work
did you set up a binding at all? maybe could’ve gotten messed up with the last steamvr update?
check if the space fix like floor fix works
they work and yeah i’ve had the same binding for like a year
i just logged on one day and it no longer works
check the bindings and try switching to a community one to see if that could fix it.
hi
Hey
Hi
I've been thinking about this and I still don't know how to respond
Join the military and find out
That's the best advice possible

Hey anyone wanna play vrchat? Mostly looking for like exploration world ig
hi, very new to vrchat. anyone on & wanna hang? 🥹
I was about to reply to them, but saw your message here already so no need from me then
Hi nonexistant general 2, general 1 was getting spooky so I left
can anyone be my friend I have no friends on vr chat
hi
Wanna play
anyone wanna play vrchat?
Hey does anyone want to play vrc with me
I can later today
^
is vrc servers down?
Okay
Be careful he might just be looking for a relationship
Alrighty lol, will do
I think you have to restart, I just had some problems too
Yeah, he added me and we played, he was really nice but when he found out I was a guy he switched up and ended up unadding me and blocking me on discord
Oh damn.. interesting, I’ll 100% keep that noted. We can also play sometime if you’d like, I’m always down to make new friends

@nimble path try Danganronpa next then
Morning scrubs
evening :)))
How're we doinggggg
mic broke, v sad
My condolences
i just need a new cord tbh
its at the stage where it doesnt work unless you hold the cord a certain way. so ya
man that triggers me haha
is it possible to use a controller in vrchat without using OSC? in vr?
anyone got any hidden gem PC only worlds you think I should check out? I got a new PC a few weeks ago and haven't done much looking around for worlds.
Surely
has anyone tried it?im findint out vive tracker pogo pins can only take digital input which excludes joysticks
Will someone get on ve chat with me
Im not looking for a relationship he said that bc we played tg and i blocked him
But i block him bc he muted himself bc o invited someone ppl
If he wasn’t comfortable talking around others he shouldn’t have to, that’s not a reason to block him but okay. I’m getting on soon, I just need to finish up cleaning rq
Well i just didn't like the vibe he gave me and okay just lmk when to get on
👀
Hey there
Anyone down to play vrchat add me
Hey
I forgot to message you sorry but I’m on
Okay whats your user name and im getting on
AngelicLilac
I’m a selective mute and the reason I wasn’t talking around his other friends was because they were chaotic like yelling at eachother and swearing a lot
And I did talk to him abt it and he said he was okay with me being a selective mute but then blocked me on everything like a minute later
I guess he was not ok with it lol
hi

Well idk what to do with myself at this point lol
Yes
Can someone help me with something, I got a weird message and I think it’s a scam
yes i am
Glad Deez
If you got a scammer DM an active mod the evidence
real
It's a scam. You did not win a bitcoin giveaway or discord nitro or anything. They do this all the time. Just report the message to the sever mods so they can ban em.
they spammed everyone on this server
Aaahh good they already got banned didn't they
man I didn't get my bitcoin promos
Damb 😔
Really itching to have that blockchain-based Nitro subscription 😔 😔 😔
who wants free nitro
Bruh.
what
Bruh.
You really gotta spam?
bro do u want nitro or what
Bruh. I've been paying for my own since 2017
it’s 3 months
So a promo.
Then it's a promo code. Only those who haven't had Nitro before can use it
You can still give it away, just won't be useful for those who've already had Nitro before.
||🫵🤣||
Hey what is going with pc BC people can't cha he into their avatar uploaded
Wha?
i cant change into my avatar that are uploaded
it says failed to load avatar
Was it uploaded properly?
Wow that's a lot of Nitro.
I usually don't have it more than one month. Current one is just free nitro.
Gotta have my global emotes. 
I just see a wall-e avatar in your banner. Based.
Oh. That's from one of the gen-1 meet ups.
Didn't even know that channel has meet-ups
Yep!
Check the pins for the next meet up.
The Wall-E avatar in my banner is ||bags||.
Floof
floof
Sure
Mood fr. Well glad to know you're still around regardless
I've been really missing VRC.
You don't play anymore?
I do. It's just been tough. Haven't built a new computer yet so stuck on quest mode.
Hi
Quest mode sucks so I don't play too much. Really just need to build a new computer already but doggos cancer came back so priorities
I need some help with my avatar
Ouch.

hopefully she gets better
^
I hope so too
If my pc would suddenly break i wouldn't even be able to play on Quest since i have Quest 1
I have q1 too
I don't consider that even play able anymore
I never leave adrift xD
My quest shits itself just trying to start the game
Yeah I don't world hop or anything because the odds of crashing are too high. So I just stay in adrift since it performs well and I can kick people lol
Perma-LSD trip. 
Yep
I think i have a Audiolink shader in my world still active on Quest since vision was laggy
Wish I could update the world to support that for quest. But probably don't have the overhead regardless
I don't think Audiolink works properly for Quest
Like it doesn't crash but my experience is that it makes vision weird
Hmm. That would be unfortunate. With a Q1 or Q2? I know the performance hit would be notable
Quest 1
Ah yeah indeed.
I need to just snag a used Q2 already. I've seen some for cheap af
I just love the build quality of the Q1
Video player doesn't work on Quest anyways so i don't need to keep Audiolink
Gotta love all the limitations
Quest has video.
But i dunno about streams
Only if you have the raw video url. But everyone inputting YouTube urls ain't working
Streaming is the most reliable way of getting video into a quest world but it requires a specific setup.
Sure but that's what tools exist for Octo 
Saying it doesn't have video is wrong
Plus not every video is YT

We're both aware of it's limitations...
If streaming even works, i mean, AL is at least not useless but i don't think anyone throws quest parties 
It absolutely does.
Again, requires a specific setup but I streamed into quest worlds for nearly a solid year continuously
Yesh streaming works apparently given there is a whole streaming service for vrc that supports quest
.ts i think
Vrcdn wee
Quest people just join for my avatars anyways
All the floofs
And my avatars on Quest don't have Audiolink so it's useless to have it there
Yeah. Would only be a world audio thing for quest worlds obvi
It would just be a performance hit for some world lights
Maybe when the Q5 is out I'll finally get a Q2
I dunno AL behind the scenes, as in how much it has overhead.
At least if it's just emission stuff.
Probably only available second hand at that point and again unsupported lmao
Gonna be unsupported tho 
And sweaty AF
plus missing NeuroIO
The overhead for quest is substantial. There's a warning for this reason
I see
Yeah meta won't support old headsets for long probably after a new one
Meta will collapse and we'll all be in appleVR
hell no
Not gonna pay that
The brand wars were fierce
I could probably buy multiple quest 5s at that point
Lol right

Lbr we'll all have implants by then assuming you survive the brand wars.
VRChat will become Chat because the virtual Reality aspect is just a given since all life takes place in the virtual world
And surviving everything turning to shit recently at the same time
IRLCade where people go to actually meet in person

My avatars on Quest are still the most basic thing in existence lmao

What GPU does everyone use?
Steam charts say 1060
But personally I use a GTX 1660 super
It's ok and you can get better gpu's near the same price
but for all of steam, no?
I haven't checked in a while is it different much?
I expect the VRC one to be higher
Yeah I'll check it again soon to double check
everyone has a 4090, no outliers
I've got a 4090ti
1650
Anyone tryna hangout
3070 Ti 8GB 💀
👀 Should've just went 3080.

Hello
Trying to figure out if i should buy a refurbished oculus as my first vr headset.. 
How much?
Like 270
Oculus is a brand (that doesn't even exist anymore), which headset
Oh uh
A quest 2
if you want to play vrchat standalone, I'd suggest waiting for quest 3 so it crashes less
Fair
When does it come out?? And how much would it be so i can mske sure id have enough
At this point, I just want it fixed. Ping me on who ever will actually help.
I hope to either get the 3 by the end of the year
Or if the 2 drops in price more i may jump on the 2
500 isnt bad but i have a budget atm
I used my cousins 2 and i would glitch and crash a lot i hope the 3 fixes that.
I have a VERY bad laptop atm so i think the 3 is better cause i will be doing it without a pc
I really just wanna play vr chat and beat saber 
And im afraid i may not have the money for it all till the end of the year when black friday sales come out
so
I do hope to get a pc soon anyways
Hi
Hey can you add me rq, I want to ask you some questions in dms
Someone who has questions about buying an oculus and scared about making a wrong decision.
I want to show you photos of my Amazon cart
To know that what I’m buying is a good idea or not
That’s why I want you to double check since you seem very educated on vr headsets and all
I just want to play gorilla tag and vrc
I get payed $125 every Friday as an allowance
I mainly just want vrchat to have fun with friends (I only have one vrc friend so far but want to make more)
What’s pcvr
I have a super nice pc
2k pc
Does the quest 3 have pcvr also?
When is the quest 3 coming out
