the reason I use KeePass to begin with because it is completely offline and does not connect to the internet in any circumstances.
But it isn't.
Cus else using a PW manager wouldn't make much sense to begin with.
It's on a smartphone that's in use. 
I use bitwarden which is a online password manager
I don't trust companies with my data.
but you know, KeePass supports hardware keys. Which I personally use. That is nearly impossible to crack unless you have the physical key.
I don't have many backup solutions in case of something happening to my devices
so I still don't feel like there is issue with my practice.
It's still a single point of failure.
You can use physical keys with phones?
USB-C
It's not about "how safe is my entry to it"
It's about not generating a single point of failure ever if not nessesary
And this absolutely isn't
You can also have bluetooth ones 
They use USB-C for them now?
Okay listen, I do understand your point. And what you say would make sense if I was "high profile" target or a company. But I am just your average Joe who nobody has reason to even try pwn.
I do not have anything that is valuable to someone else, quite likely.
Yeah FPaul is correct, but sometimes people just weigh risk vs convenience
and if you have multiple points for entry to retrieve the master data, this will cause worse problem.
Then why security key? 
What if you forget one of the sequences? You're going to lose all of the data.
Don't ask me, i don't have one
Well security keys are nice, wish they where as common as TOTP in support
But having one of those but then compromising the single point of failure is weird.

Now you literally have a physical device that will unlock EVERYTHING
I know of bitwarden supporting Yubikey but only with Premium account. Which is very cheap but still a paywall.
As it should, every system should have a single master key in-case of an emergency.
Yes, it is.
I like what 1password does with authenticating to your password manager
Having your own password + a static generated code from them to authenticate
You need both + 2FA if enabled
So it's technically 3 layers
Having a single "strong" entry is much better than having like 5 different keys, if anyone who holds those different keys forget them, you're not going to recover the data.
My country does not even know what security is to begin with though.
So well eh, I am at least better than my own government.
anyway bye
Main reason of me using cloud solutions for some stuff is mainly backup solutions. I already had the situation of not being able to take ANYTHING with me. Losing everything. Back then with my accounts as a teenager I didn't yet use password managers. So i remembered my password(s). But my Google account had 2FA enabled which i lost access to. Recovery process was pain in the ass.
Yeah that's fair, for your average consumer anything is better than having no password manager at all.
Because you're not a "target" necessarily.
So does it matter if you store everything in the same place?
Losing access to anything you own physically just sucks massive ass
Oh yeah.
Which happened cause i got cut off from home, got taken everything that has any display and internet connection
Place i was in had a pc, but no internet connection
Hmm I dunno, but have you considered buying something like the Commodore 64?
It does not require internet connections, but it is very good.
Lol not even that would have been possible with not owning a single cent of money
Took like 3 months before i started to get a little bit. But at that point it was shortly before i was able to get out there again
Nice.
Anyone wanna play VRChat a little later?
I don't think anyone does.
Nobody here plays VRChat. Nope. Ain't ever even heard of it before. What's VRChat?
vrchat? dont like weird ppl play that game and stuff? I'd never play that
š§
Fr tho 
Honestly How do I ask without getting a smartass answer? Is there a separate tab for it? Confused
Im* confused sorry
Just messing around lol. There's no channel for it. Honestly best to just hop public worlds and roll the dice xD
Thanks thought Iād join this discord for people to play with but ig not
But yeah you ain't doin nothing wrong. My only form of humor is shit sarcasm. People ask here all the time
You're much better off finding people in-game.
Though, if you stick around here long enough, you'll get to know more people.
Yeah, joining random publics just works a lot better for actually meeting people. It's gunna be big hit/miss here since the people in here tend not to be playing n stuff.
I was on earlier but... no one was really on.
But there are lots of good people here too
Anyone on?
nope game dead no people
Thatās what Iām saying š
Hey
Yo
Hru
Decent, how about u?
sans undertale family guy
Is this true?
This is random but it it possible to delete recently used avatars?
Lmao
Good afternoon General 2
š«”
Nope.
you can just use a bunch of avatars until the one(s) you don't want are cleared out
I'm pretty sure only you can see your recently used though so not sure why you'd even need to do this
Its a bad way but if u deletd reinstall it deletes em
What.
Hi, dollar-general-2
dollar store
dollar store
Who wants to to do murder with security breach avatars
Do you think we can be able to put in a reason why vote kick start? Like if we're vote kicking someone, can't we just type why they're being kicked so strangers can know why
Nope.
By any chance does window 11 screw up Vrchat?
doesnt effect me
My computer came with it and I got tired of reverting it back to 10
Is it as shit as it was before?
like my friend did everything to fix steam vrchat but nothing works
I still wonder how long its gonna take until w11 is better than w10
huh that name, hate how the font's so elegant, idk how to feel 
:3
oh you're actual name, shoudn't have looked 
its my name for every game lol
W you fr
someone help me buy a new controller ā¹ļø
btw is rift now too laggy in vrchat
No?
Nope
Is anyone else having the problem where your trying to join an instance or trying to rejoin and it says āthis world is not compatibleā (something along thoughs lines) when it is compatible? It could just be me cus I have really bad wifi but I wanted to see if it was anyone else.
Dam, my friend keeps insta crashing using oculus rift and now we dont know why
@north grove
Putting this here since its a general discussion:
- I still don't have a clock in my quick menu. Something i don't understand given that its insanely easy and fast to implement, having a ping and fps readout is much more complicated and the FPS readout is also impacting performance a lot more due to the fast updates compared to something like a clock that would only need a refresh every second if you were to include seconds (which i think is overkill and unnecessary)
- I still cannot animate my camera with keyframes, not without either using the new world feature (which requires making a custom world) or some incredibly hacky solutions such as VRCLens which may or may not have an additional framerate impact that i am not willing to pay.
- I still cannot disable features per avatar/person. I simply cannot understand why (now that safety settings are local anyway) i don't have granular control over what i want to see, how much i want to see and on who. This starts with a simple "Max VRAM usage setting" and ends in complete and full granular control over what a person's avatar can have, maybe i want that guy's lights to be turned off but keep everyone on. Maybe i want that other dude's particles off without turning them off for everyone, maybe i want THAT specific person's disgusting screen shader off without impacting everyone else. The safety settings are severely lacking.
- I still cannot fully customize my IK, no offense, Kung is doing god's work here and the improvements are amazing unlike what some people say but i want more options. Making one-solution for everyone also makes it infinitely harder for Kung as he has to factor in millions of avatars and configurations and make it work across all of them, configuration options (such as the prediction slider) are a good way for everyone to finetune things the way they like.
Just to put my biggest complains here as an example.
Holy shit.
The clock is a design decission AFAIK.
Although a setting to enable it would solve the design concern.
I presume setting up a UI to display the system time is possible on avatars, right?
Yea i heard that too, don't see any valid reason to not include a clock if we can see ping and fps. Not everyone is on a Quest like me and can quickly check via the link menu bar or has money to pay for OVR... and the steamvr desktop is trash.
Sure but that requires it to be a avatar feature
Well that's another way to do it but its again just a hacky way and another shader and unnecessary stuff that gets loaded for everyone in the instance
Immersion / disconnect you from the feel of time.
You don't have to agree to the reasoning, but in the end enabling that via a setting should indeed be an option.
Immersion? But opening a giant screen blocking window is not immersion breaking? Also its in the quick menu, which you have to open anyway if you wanna check ping/fps. Infact i find the quick menu pretty immersive, sure it would be "cooler" if it was anchored differently forcing you to look at your wrist or something like that (rather than your hand side) but i don't see how that breaks immersion.
It's like the thing every virtual reality movie likes to do, you look at your wrist or something to open this "virtual" menu with stats
I see, was just wondering. I've always been interested in utilities on avatars (like the light toggle I installed on mine a while ago) and I suspect I may have a future in making "tool" prefabs like that (fancy holo watches because vr, lights, binoculars props, etc) if I ever get back into my "healthy" relationship with Unity
Well i'd be fine with adding a clock feature to my avatar if it had something to display it on, like an already existing clock or menu or something like that. But i don't have anything on my avatar (other than my glasses... actually now that's an interesting thing i'd have to look into, display it in the inside of my glasses) that could display this properly, so i'd be adding a prop to my avatar for the sake of adding it
thats at least another material slot
Time immersione is a separate category.
Again, you don't need to agree to it, i'd also like a clock.
Just trying to stell you it is not code or whatever but was a design decissions that hopefully one day will change to tickbox you can enable in settings.
Yea see but that's the thing, a simple option invalidates any reason they could come up with
which brings me back to "options" we need more of them
exactly
why does my friend crash basically isntantly when using it in vrchat, bare in mind he hasnt used it in a year so is that the reason? (as in its trying to keep up after being abandoned for so long)
Hi
Hellooo
Try getting him to check the Debug menu
he might just need to clear out his cache
(there is a button for it)
will do
Usually you'll notice a significant amount of lag with a full cache (my friend had 19.3GB in his and his game was nigh unplayable. Our PCs do have similar specs but when my cache was the same size, I didn't have much issue, so I'd be mindful of the possibility of things being a bit inconsistent)
cache size does not impact performance
all clearing out your cache is going to do is make it so you need to redownload all the stuff you cleared out
odd
Because my friend's performance improved significantly when he cleared out his
he might've just needed to restart his game, though
Wat
Anyone else experiencing a problem when going into Vrchat on oculus atm?
Baby dont hurt me~
can we make the old avatar search channel viewable (but just can't post to it)?
there were quite a few links to avatars in there that are now no longer viewable
Hmmm, what's y'alls thoughts on the quest pro. I want to mess around with face tracking on avis and having a standalone quest device to test the quest builds of both avis and worlds is another plus. Just wondering if anyone's got any downsides to the QPro.
My opinion I feel like itās a waste of money I mean if you already have the original quest two then I think thatās good but do the quest pro that cost so much and so what youāll get better tracking and youāll also get a tracking and those are the two main pros of that
Only headset I got is a index atm. So the quest pro would be my first standalone headset
On a similar note, as someone new to all this, would y'all recommend getting the Quest 2 starting out or would it be better to wait and see how the Quest 3 turns out when it's finally released later this year? I have no idea which VR set would be the best 'bang for your buck' š . Thought about the PSVR 2, but I don't know if PS has VRChat as a game they support.
I don't think the vrc team has any plans to port vrchat over to PSVR2 yet.
Can Someone tell me what avatars are called when they are half human half animal? Like with just the tails and the ears?
anthro?
No no anthro is an animal with humanoid proportions and features
Theyāre called Kemonomimi!
kemonomimi literally means "animal ears" (in Japanese)
so not sure if that usually would include the tail (but probably I guess)
as odd as it is, that is the term
people who like that shit are cringe
AGH
Finally! Some good fucking eye bleach!
Thank you!!!!
Im sad
me either, theres channel for quest but not valve
why would there be a valve channel?
quest is separate because it's a standalone headset with a separate build and content too it
valve and vive and all other PCVR headset's are all PC
well.. understandable, but their so nice to not have somewhere ppl can talk bout them
hm actually not many ppl use them compared to quest anyways
you can talk about vr hardware for vrchat in all channels like this and G1.
If you mean for non VRChat, then that's not what the quest channels are for either
Pain and loneliness r mine rn
ah i feel that, feel free to talk to me if u'd like, im also bored of everyday routine
sure sir
I feel like its hard to make dommy friends
Im sub af and want someone enjoyable in most aspects of playing vrc, as an adult i am bored of running into kids everywhere
Cant vrc make a one time payment option to have an adult sode to vrc thats unlockable by buying the id verification type of setting so no more trolly swearing 11 year olds
that is very true, i find them VERY annoying when they keep on screaming like an no brainer
i guess its that bad
Kids r unreal and now there parents are buying indexes and vives and now able to see nsfw avatars
very true
I hate where this pedo ring shit is going
its just how spoil kids nowadays are
And for that there should be limits
The only other issue is kids can jump onto there parents accounts too
well, thats y i always join a server with 1 person so technically i can just chill in theatre without kids screaming
I like meeting people in groups but yeah kids still somehow get in
theres just like air, everywhere, all the time
Yes
For that i think if a kid is doing something inappropriate there accounts should get banned
Perma banned
We dont want a toxic community anymore
It all stems from bad parenting, and that should come with consequences
more than 50% of vrc population would cease, bet
Yeah but thats where warnings come into play
The parent should get a warning if its a linked account to the families stuff
What do you define as "inappropriate"
i've been collecting and buying everything by myself, maybe kids nowadays just like "point-that-get-that"
Pedos who exist as well and they target them
U know how kids r today bru
Out of control
verbally and sexually inappropriate, for kids
Np, thats reasonable to want banned
If kids swear or something like that, I dont want them banned for it
Not banned for that reason
But warning systems with limited warnings
Banned for nsfw content
if they just use as normal friend-to-friend talking i think it would be fine but if in a bad toxic manner, surely not ok
that would be hard, then vrc need to scan all avatar that people upload
Always hearing the nword and hearing kids calling me and others fat and obese and to get a job they know that shit is toxic so that shit should get em banned
By ip
Public avatars specifically
for real, kids telling adult to get a job, they should look at themselves first
Privates r harder to monitor tho but i like uploading my own cuz nobody else will Likely have it cuz i edit the ones i get too so its different texture wise from everyone elses
So immature man
just straight out funny
Besides i always tell them to go play recroom cuz that shit is for kids
Any adults who play that game i be wondering
They wont understand until there older and gotta work
Bro, its a kid, they just love shittalking. Just mute them
We arent talking about seeking advice on muting them we r discussing a way fir adults to be separated from the kids section of vrc
We have our own brains and know how to use em bruh
Jeez
Thats a cool idea! Its just going to be hard to enforce
Of course thats why people should buy it as a one time offer
even if vrc use the birth date to divide between kids and adult, they also still can fake it, most of them do that anyways
but for real, i feel quite uncomfortable talking to toxic kids too, but sometimes i do find a good one
Welllll true but what about those dating apps that require u to take a pic of urself doing a certain pose with a written letter or symbol on paper u have to draw
Verification 2
they could just fake the photo, anything nowadays is kinda out of hand
Ultimately there should be three Verification steps, id, photo holding something u drew that they asked u to draw so its legit and then voice with video call
U dont get to play until u verify
I hear thunder daddy zeus is angy that im feeling ucky and sad
hm that is a most promising way, yes
but it would be a hassle to even create a acc by then, also for a big company- i think they wouldnt have people to watch and filter them all the time
yea, its "innovation" in verification i guess haha
If it doesnt go well then poof with the system but pedos and bad kids will proceed
Yup
I keep comin up with all these wonderful ideas but nobody wants to even attempt it
Unrealistic.
VRChat is a global game, but even if it was just US and EU focussed it'd be a major personal undertaking and still not secure plus exclude legitemate people
Jeez am i the only who thinks around the sphere and not the boxes
Sure but i think its worth a trial
Unlesss u like doing illegal things with kids
Hmmm
everything have its flaw all along
If it was so easy and affordable, then you'd see it nearly everywhere on the web
The most unrealistic thing going here is defending the pedos and nasty children in that game
You'd need hundreds of people that can cover the load of signups and are knowledgeable in GLOBAL ID's
And not everyone even has one.
Sure money motivates but money also buys illegale activities
I doubt thats too hard to do
Whats hardest is getting a job whilst being disabled
Mhm
Im disabled try me bruh
Nobody wants me to work for them and my disabilities cant handle society anymore
Whats your disabilities?
But enough about me
im srry to hear that
Im not obligated to share that
Thanks
Lets just say im fucked
Some girls read my bio in vrc and next thing u know im blocked
So u get an idea just from that
Tho i mean no harm to anyone and often feel regretful of living
All i did was ask to hit a bong rip to chill out and next thing u know "oh hell nah" blocked
thats hard
So idk whats wrong with me tryna be civil
Very
So i like guys over women
Besides the fact of that i grew up with mostly my big brothers and my sisters didnt care about me
So im tomboy but stupidly sub
Totally a girl tho, tomboy is a personality trait u gain
Has nothing to do with sexuality
Mud and fishin and beating each other up, biking too doing all the fun shit guys do, i hate makeup and doing my nails, i ljke baggy clothes and sweaters
baggy clothes and sweater is nice
But im also gothic and love pastels and rainbows cuz i have too many fave colors to like just one
my mom says cold feet is bad: my feet haha
Usually circulation issues or diabeetus or other health related issues like anemia low iron and heart issues too
Im anemic af
dam
I bruise easy too
so cold feet isnt good
Being a women is hard cuz our times of the month drains our iron
but somehow i never have any problem that could possibly be..
No cold feet is bad
My legs fall asleep very easily too but i blame circulation issues
My veins get pinched off when criss cross apple sauce
Cursed thick thighs
ouch
Yes
I hope to reach my goal weight in the next year since ive starved and fasted off over 100 pounds of weight
Over 2 years
I cant work and workout easily so i just smoke my medical weedies and relax as much as i can
My blood pressure is low today lovely
Im a suckerfish for sodium
for real, i personally cant have a long term goal
WHAT
I dont make goals i just go with what works and it works out lol
I gotta see this man, whats your bio lol
Judge before getting know people basically
Do you put your weight in your bio?
Ur that desperate arent ya bruh
No that i keep out
I dont even mention im thick
People r so insensitive
Then whats in the bio that makes people block you?
Ok, sorry to hear that
I just dont write it here cuz its exclusive to people who meet me
Thats kinda mean of them to do
Just remove them then, strangers dont need to know anything about that
Gay bot
Meh blocks will occure til only good people exist in my worlds
And mostly good people too
Yup
Also depends if u will ever find me on vrc
To read it
what do u usually play on vrc?
Just lately been wanting a group of cool guys who arent expecting me to date em and just vibe with me
Obviously 18+
Guh cat moments
Embed fail lol
I also would prefer potheads cuz u know gotta have enjoyment in solitudity
honestly i havent find any 18+ worlds in vrc yet, most of the time in just playing among us and prison escape, im not good at talking
i can see why people block u
Die tryin to escape or get booted first for me
just based on attitude alone :D
it does, but i dont rlly know what else i should do
Cappin
Oh god u read texts all wrong here u can leave please
nah im good
Then leave me alone please
how u go from saying a shit idea to calling people pedos when they dont agree with it
U have no say in anything
u have as much say as i do
Ur kinda late to debate something thats already been debated
No further comments or i will report u
screenshotted
uh i guess i will just hop on osu, 2am is the perfect time
See what i mean
Cant even chat about anything people jumpin at my throat like rats
I dont see ur comments cuz i blocked u cap
because u are accusing people of a crime because they didnt agree with you?
Enjoy
Also u too so i wont see ur provokative comments
lmaoo
Lol
yea but u agree with me so u are the ENEMY
Im not surprised people block this person constantly lmao
it makes complete sense now
fr
The heck happened here?
someone being stupid for no reason
handing out blocks like candy. that's how you know you're right 
the irony is palpable
So no reason to pester myself with reading there idiotic comments
From what I read its just you saying you can't get a job because you're disabled and wanting dom friends
Lol
People got preferences so what they can get butthurt over my own personal decisions
I aint cryin
yes u are though
this right here is u crying
Im laughing cuz i know ill find good people to vibe with
The more toxicity removed from my eyes the more i can feel at peace
i dont think they will be good people
u cant find good people when u yourself are toxic
I dont even care if vrc kicks them from here cuz i can just block at will
Ah, the good ol' trying to separation of kids and adults convo
and if you disagree it's because you're a pedo
Lmfao
Bruh, its 13+ game. There's gonna be kids. I'm sorry to disappoint you
Dont we all wanna know who they are tho
go ahead and block me lol
Irrelevant to what i said but ok
just get it out of the way
Blocked
So what is your point then
Lol
careful birb, ur gonna get blocked too
Again blocked bruh dont need mosquitos up in here
bro thinks heās tuff!!!
Nah im just fed up
u do not question her lords opinions, or thou catch the block
Oh no, my poor soul
Seems not many know how to use proper english
The hell id English
who isnāt using english ?

who else loves to play and prance in the prairie with their friends
Simi!
hello smili
Lin :)
Guess what. 
BIPP!
thereās lots of ticks in the prarie 

I love how I actually tried to see what their point was and ended up getting blocked.
Someone must really not like having proper conversations
New GPU.
we can come stacked with bug spray and tweezers
Yeyeye. I'm going AMD this time around.
You joined the club of issues with video players
LS Media added a thing to help with said issues when you have the flag on to make it where video players aren't dark
Nice. I don't know anything about the amd cards I don't know where that is in the line
It's like... the equivalent of a 3090.
I might build an AMD box since they fixed their VR drivers
That's another thing I wanna try out.
Supposedly, HEVC (H.265) works fine on 6000 series but not 7000.
Motherfu- I could've saved $30 on my 5800X3D had I waited!
I thought Prime Day, it'd be at its lowest.
Time and time again I read of the site jacking prices up when those days are coming up. Donāt price-checker sites hide this too?
Whats even more funny is that for a quite a few of those no name china items you can find the same item with a different brand on amazing it self for cheaper outside the deals xD
BS Marketting traps
If you want a Echo, sure, go for it.
If something on your long wishlist is in fact cheaper than ever, sure.
But don't browse "deals" to find "steals"
All you do it get marketting scammed.
This is even more true on the flash deals... everything with a timer is usually not in your favor. 

Hey my VRChat keeps crashing, prob need to show some logs with this one.
Do I go to ā user-support, or like what?
I'd assume so
Yep
u on quest?
No
If you have AMD card, blame AMD drivers. If not then you probably should make bug report.
I just installed an AMD card and I'm having zero crashing issues.
Some avatars have shaders that crash on AMD cards
They aren't even meant for "crashing"
But they still do.
for most part all OK
I daily run AMD card too so eh
Ye, I upgraded to a 6950 XT from a 3070.
I have poor man's 6800 XT
Haha š
Empty Pug = >200 FPS. It's insane.
Desktop. VR, I'm sure I'd hit the cap of 90/120 with VD.
Most likely since I do.
Actually... time to test!
It's nice to play VRChat without having to use Space Warp
Alrighty. So. Virtual Desktop, it's hovering around 70s with weird dips in the 50s (probably an encoder issue), Oculus Link isn't a laggy fucking mess (surprisingly!) and it's an overall enjoyable experience.
This was in the Pug, btw.
Virtual desktop is completely bugged for me so I havenāt been able to use it :ā)
Really? Damn.
Itās saying connecting, the unable to reach and then nothing. 3 years and itās only done this recently :ā)
Weeeeeird...
Anyone elseās vr chat being shitty
Yea that is weird, I haven't had any trouble with VRDesktop, yet.
for me having to run 2 VR runtimes is a dealbreaker unfortunately
also having to disable space warp every time i start VR
What's weird... is VRC posts a solid 90 FPS but VD reads 50s-70s.
i used OculusKiller but then i lose the ability to change resolution etc
Could it be HEVC being a derp?
idk i have codec on automatic
i plan to get a Pico 4 eventually, so Air Link wont be an option then anymore anyways
also i personally use fpsVR to look at my performance
i ignore whatever vrchat or virtual desktop says
Wanna know something funny I noticed when loading in on desktop?
The Steam FPS counter goes fucking nuts during the loading screen.
Define shitty
Hi, would anyone by any chance know what I could do to fix this issue? Idk if itās vrchat itself or my oculus headset. Iāve redownloaded the app 3 different times now in the past hour (able to log in), updating the app, along with restarting my headset. The issue is that Iāll load into my home world or the default world depending on which I choose. Itāll load in perfectly fine but I get kicked off the app 5 seconds after being in the home world.
you could try asking in #1138891887374237706
Isn't AMD better nowadays? Cheaper than recent Nvidia and also better performance?
better != perfect
Raw performance is sadly not everything
Should be cooked
Maybe they didn't update their Discord in 2 years and can't see forum's 

What's the difference between a 3090 and a 3090 TI?
Just a faster GHz?
Pretty much.
I'm still using a 2060 Super... Only 1470 MHz... GHz hurts to think about.
That's a good increase in the two
Hmmm...
1860 MHz to my currrent 1470 MHz.
Kay, I was wrong. There's SOME bumps.
Higher clock speeds, a few bonus RT cores, higher bandwidth, higher power draw.
Some bumps... I don't feel like the Ti version is worth it.
like how 3090/3090 Ti were the last actually decent cards (+ they had SLI for blender n stuff)
can't even have some VRAM in highend cards...
So basically factory OC with some extra stuff sprinkled in.
*laughs in 16GB*
GDDR6 is so dirt cheap.
sure is even GDDR6X is cheap
Are you able to solder on your own and actually work? 
For comparison, how good is 16GB to the 8GB a few years ago?
Way better, or only noticeable on more demanding programs?
Depends on the game.
Let's just say VRchat as the base example
I noticed my stuff barely gets half-utilized in VRC.
yeah same here, and my fps is low too...
it is most likely a bottleneck, some sort of.
low usage, low fps while it clearly has resources to use...
I think it's more networking than hardware bottleneck.
how your networking would affect that?
IK having to figure out where people's avatars will be?
uh...
When alone = >200 FPS. In an instance with 30 others = ~80 FPS.
Yes, it does send data to locate other players and sync ppl and etc, but that's done completely on the CPU and that code will not affect your FPS / resource usage whatsoever because it doesn't take any resources. Downloading avatars in other hand would take CPU usage because well it needs to actually unpack the avatar and do one-time performance test etc.
what takes most CPU / GPU is rendering the avatar meshes and calculating physics and IK
unfortunately IK and Physics are done on the CPU (afaik)
that's why the game is CPU intensive.
and I am strictly talking about Physbones / Dynamic Bones here, Unity probs has their own system but that has to do with something else.

It makes sense too, because GPU is supposed to Accelerate Graphics aka Polygons but it is not meant to calculate Physics or other mathematical tasks.
CPU is more efficient at that. (though it depends on the algorithm)
You guys have any CPU recommendations to go with the 30 or 40 series for Nvidia?
You may as well go for flagship i13/i12
Well simply explained, the reason some avatars may be laggy is precisely because of few things:
- Physbone/Dynamicbone count (CPU)
- Particles (CPU)
- IK (CPU)
- Meshes (GPU)
- Shaders (GPU)
These are the main culprits eating away your performance...
If you just simply like disable everyones avatars in a public world, your performance like triples. it's magic!
I think i'm just laggy for using a 7 year old desktop that was pre-assembled and some sh** isn't even working inside of it anymore...
They cut corners pre-assembling it, and a few years later it's suffering because of it
Gotta figure out what your budget is first.
Did the Games world category get removed in the last update or something? Used to be under the Avatar Worlds category but now it's just gone
It's still there
You can build a decent PC for ~1500.
3K is if you wanna go balls to the wall.
Hell, my entire build cost a little over $2k.
I got an above average setup for like 1.7 k 3k is like a godly build by that point
Hmm, it wasn't there for me last night. Went from Avatar Worlds straight to Updated Recently
I'm just looking for something that can run very well. 3k is just the maximum I'd go. Minimum is at least 1.5k
1.5k-2k is def a great build
Not really "more expensive"
More expensive. Less availability.
Waiting for sales only decreases the price between 15 and 30 percent. Amazing, but uncommon.
Do not eat the pistachio ice cream. It. Has. TURNED.
Just turn it back around
7800X3D, 7950X3D if ya nasty (and don't mind dealing with --affinity=FFFF and/or Process Lasso)
7800X3D being more ideal brainded safe option.
As no dual CCD issues or shenanigans
there, edited
5800X3D if you want to save some money but keep in mind you're falling back to DDR4
Yeah 5800X3D is also strong, i did that start of year
It's now pretty cheap, tho ofc you're at end of platform life
it'll last ya till AM6 probably but just be aware
I don't regret going that route tho, is a beast. š
alternately just read this https://tupper.notion.site/The-Current-Best-PC-For-VRChat-0636cbf57062499e80f02554afda2be4
if it's ok that i ask, what happened to the "games" category of the world browser?
any plans to revisit this since AMD pushed their drivers that supposedly fix a bunch of VR shit? or is 7900 XTX not affected by that
I'm dangerously close to hitting go on a new build myself
I'm thinking about hoppin' on if anyone wants to join
Thank you, great info. I am curious if you recommend AMD over Intel for VRChat, or if this is just based on your personal hardware. I've been looking at the latest gen of i9 and it's a pricey investment if it is going to be bad.
I currently have a i9-10900k
So switching to AMD means unfortunately basically almost new pc
I'm at the building new from scratch phase, so I want to make the right call for sure
Motherboard / CPU. But that's normal for a more major upgrade intel or amd
For your render server?
That too
Dual duty for heavy rendering in Blender and Unity along with VRChat and streaming/video editing
Guess that would be triple duty
Spraybottle of "milk"
Or be even more passive-diabolical.
Fill it with water and a tiny bit of sugar
IT gets sticky and annoying.
And ants
I'm more worried about the water beetles... They fly now.
Size of your pinky nail, but they can cover a window in their swarms at night. Absolutely terrifying
That's pretty spooky
I have a picture
I'm terrified and interested
They covered the window sill at my workplace. Can I DM you it?
Mosquitos in Canada that somehow get to the size of your thumb
Never seen one of that size.
Really? There's a ton of them you can see when you visit the fields around cities or in the country
They might be the males, that feed on nectar and other stuff like that, instead of blood like the females.
Still freaky though.
OH my god, nevermind. Those are Crane Flies.
"Resemble large male mosquitoes, but do not bite or sting humans"
Ay whoever tryna play vr chat and start a friendship(or even more hehe) js dm me my dms open
š
What u looking at arte
as far I know Physbone is something VRChat cooked up themselves and Dynamicbones was just paid asset but none of those relied on PhysX, but as for components like Mesh Collider in worlds, then yes that would use GPU since Unity indeed uses PhysX, but... since VRChat is published on the paid Unity Pro version they could switch to Unity's own Physics engine as for does that run on CPU or GPU idk
yep, but despite that it still gets heavy quickly when you have to calculate thousands of those in single world.
and then when these physbones can collide with each other, ouch.
nuclear bomb


More funny when it's double that and looks like crap though
fish flies!
It's not unity's own, it's havok
And havok is cpu based
Havok was not made by Unity?
No
Then why it's even pay walled to begin with...
Havok is not free
It is free tho
No
For Personal/Plus it's free, no?
I just find it strange they put a seperate payment wall only for the most expensive Pro version of Unity.
This seems like an old version
Yah it is very old version of it.
Only unity pro can use it
There is no havok for free unity
Nothing prevents you from using older Unity package though.
But yeah it's paid for latest version.
I think old version was a beta or something
Don't know, but as of now, havok is not free
And unity pro is not cheap as it has quadrupled it's price over the last 5 years
Havok is not even that good when it comes to physics engines so it doesn't matter that much.
Idk havok is pretty famous for games like Tears of the Kingdom
It may have been cutting edge back then... But not so much now a days.
I first knew about it for Dead Rising I think
Yeah it's really nice but like you can get an equivalent level of physics from a completely open source permissive project.
But if you want to get into the fancy territory of things, Natural Motion's Euphoria physics are absolutely beautiful.
Commonly known for being used in Rockstar games.
Though that is so proprietary that gettitng license for that is sure hard.
But Euphoria runs completely on the CPU and you can get good performance even on very limiting systems.
Take GTAV on PS3 for example.
Not much to work with there.
That's what you call physics lmao wish VR could have similar level of physics with full body support.
But as far I'm concerned that sounds not too plausible.
You seem kinda obsessed with gta V
No, it's just good example of what good physics look like.
And it's precisely because it uses Euphoria.
Like RDR2 and few other games also use it.
As for the games go, they are quite boring.
But the technology? Yeah I'm into that shit.
Like there are only handful of games now a day that are as good optimized as nearly every Valve/Rockstar game.
They have to rely on some tricks like "FSR" "DLSS" or some upscaling bullshit.
Can't you just actually write good and efficient code to begin with? šš
Like sure these technologies are great, but they shouldn't be used to compensate your shitty code than runs like spagetti.
Ever heard of debugger or profiler? Most companies haven't.
I just wish companies actually still put effort into optimizing games so they would run on larger sample of devices.
Which also means sacrificing on latest features, but we play games for the story not for the visual fidelity of it...
Let's get back to that when we actually have powerful enough hardware to run that and well optimized software that doesn't run like poopoo.
And you can make "low quality" textures look just as good as your high quality textures with some tricks but well people don't bother. In general there is plenty of methods to achieve this, one being mipmapping
And I'm gonna perhaps kms now but like, I don't play games that much but if I do I usually put more emphasis on the story than graphical fidelity of the game.
If the game has no bugs and has great story, who gives a second fuck what it looks like so yes. Optimize your stuff so it runs well and one thing that helps at it, make your own game engine and don't use unity or unreal engine.
Ez just spend 20 billion dollars and 5 years making your own engine no probs
Is that all it takes? Bet
Lol
Hey I apologize if this isn't the right place for this, but I'm looking to join a RP group (preferably starwars or general Sci-fi). I have no experience in RP and was wondering if someone could help me out?
Sounds like a scam
He's been scammed enough times to know
im still new or else i would
I mean, if you have a problem with your game, isn't it natural to ask for help here?
#1138891887374237706 exists for that reason, you know
Unless if you're talking about commissioning an avatar
I mean asking for help with a āgameā is a very common discord scamā¦
Could be vrc related, also could not be until we know the issue
What kind of game did you make?
Is anyone having game load problems????
it's dead
Click on it again, sometimes it doesn't register first time depending on when you did it
Wait do you mean bring muted when joining a new world?
Why would you have the volume muted whenever joining a world
Are you talking abt the loading menu
Making sound
When you load into a world
The music it plays
Glad to know I'm not the only one confused
I always hear music when loading in even if itās off 
Itās not making sense, the ui audio never has correlated to the loading sound for me at all
Iām so very confused what youāre asking or trying to solve
America
You entered the war zone I told you
Does it do this after restarting the game too or just when you go to a new world
stfu you f British man you make me some tea an throw off the boat then I will throw you in my bed
Youuuu
Iām srry
Try clearing your cache and reloading the the game, if the issue persists then maybe make a ticket about it because it might be a glitch they havenāt caught
I should of ask if you were a women
Youāre probably gonna have to wait, thereās no real fix for it besides a bug patch
English wasnāt my first language š Iām srry
Technically should of works, just looks off
Iām not very good at prouncing words
I'm the grammar police and I'll have you know that urm actually it's 'should have' and 'should of' is completely incorrect š¤
Both used as a past tense nerd
This is why you got bullied in gen 1 ugh
Xd
damn thats twisted
Shhh all fun and games
Ye

Rin shh Iām trying to bully him
:))
Shhh Iām trying to make people mad on purpose
Iām following the footsteps of people
Oki oki

Ahh, I got you
Last time I did a horror game with someone she straight up threw her headset from a jumpscare
I have a couple nice horror worlds saved
Hello I am doing golf tournament to day at 3.30pm uk time https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJpBYjuw/
Thank u if u do join
I know a private one that's really good. Only got it from friends being in there. Now i sometimes play it with others.
Though i think you're quest only. Unfortunately it's pc only.
That creator doesn't do quest content afaik. All his stuff would let quest implode lmao
That is mostly indeed the fact
-
What worlds do you recommend to explore for that sense of wonder?
-
What are some fun game worlds?
i have awnsers to those questions!
-
SONIC'S GREEN HILL ZONE, amogus, fortnite, bowsers fury, fall guys, human fall flat, and what the golf
-
the entirety of super mario 64, mario odyssey, and even minecraft
wait
you meant ones to explore in vr chat...
Yes lol
Lmao
i meant all the amogus maps, attached together..
Oh
If you search my name in VRChat you can find a good list of worlds in my profile
I have my favorites public
Oo okay
i need help
We all do
i gave 7 people vrchat+ yesterday i should honestly get praised
70 bucks on some mf'
mf's ion even know
I randomly got vrc+ and I was so surpised tbh š
HAHAHA
atleast i gained 7k steam points from it
True
could not bear seeing so many people with nitro and not having one
Fr
Is that all it takes
yessirrrr
It's vrchat man so yeah
how tall are you?
6'1
damn if you was 5'2 i'll ask you to shake it too ngl
Like a foot off
5'1-5'3
Ask
Anyone here play D&D?
Wait, is there D&D groups on VRC?
Heyo
Am I the only one getting stuck on the load screen after log in?
r u getting sent back to steam vr home like me verytime i join my home world
Are there any other worlds that one would recommend like treehouse in the shade?
Because OMG this world is amazing
I wish there was tracking on PC utilizing the Computer camera
There is
It's not great tho
Where?
On pc
Jk there's actually several ways to do it
You're gonna have to google them tho
Gotcha
Iāll look tomorrow
Itās getting late
I know this will never be seen by anyone but it's worth a shot. Please, for the love of god make the default setting for "local chatbox visibility" set to everyone and not just friends. As a slective or especially a full mute you guys have no idea how hard it is to talk to people and make friends when nobody can see your messages and often aren't even aware that there is a setting blocking it, and so you have to find someone who can see your messages to tell them what to change. Especially with visitors and new users who don't even know what any of the settings are
and to anyone who tries to say "well there's always pens".... no.. Not all worlds have pens, and some worlds that do the pens are disabled by default. There is no defending this whatsoever, the game is called VRChat, you are supposed to be able to communicate with everyone unless you specifically choose otherwise. This wasn't even a thing until a more recent update as well
You can gesture them to go to a world for mutes to be able to communicate with players if they want to, right?
Like, opening up a portal, then wave the person to get to it?

who want's to leave the world they're in to attempt to chat with a random. The point is that if someone can plug in their mic and talk to someone right off the bat, you should be able to text them right off the bat too
I don't wanna be that guy but when you go to a grocery store and want to ask for something do you use pen and paper or do you talk
Very few VRC mutes are actual mutes
Just talk man..
Hamchey, you understand that there are people who talk when they are comfortable
I ignore typers anyway majority of the time

This, exactlyyy š
Donāt ignore me I just canāt talk :(
Yeah well welcome to the real world 
Welcome to VRChat
vrchat is not the real world
Gonna find you in game and beat you up
Lime battle
Cmon, lets fite
Arrrrrrr
ArarAA

I don't intend to be rude I'm just saying what comes to my mind when mutes complain about not being able to communicate
Never u ā¤ļø


YIPPee!!
Yippbee



Some people, given their circumstances, either new to the game, afraid of being judged, or just tired, think a feature like a chatbox that VRChat implemented is enough for them to talk to. I don't blame you for that thought, but it's how those people want to communicate. All cases are better than not talking at all (no text, no voice, no gestures), right?
My throat just kills itself every once and a while if I talk too much
It gets infected 
I'm not saying I have an issue with mutes but if someone is gonna complain about not being noticed when being a mute that's on them...
If I don't feel like talking I'll just mute and do my own thing I won't beg for attention
I dunno man it's a silly argument if a mute is complaining about being restricted when they're restricting themselves
Beg for attention? Often times i'm looking to engage with new users to help them because they are lost or are trying to figure something out
Please don't take it personally lol
Or i just want to try to be their friend
are you female by chance?
Fair enough š¤·
That's on you I guess, but with Misty's case, they feel like something should be set as the default, should have been set as the default anyway. I don't really see the harm of having all chatboxes from people shown.
Still feeling like it's easily abused because too many people having chatboxes shown for heartrate, Spotify status, or other things that you don't care about? Let that be a toggle for certain individuals to have their chatboxes hidden for you. I do feel like someone has made a post about this onto VRChat's Canny forum as a feature request already
Picture it from my standpoint. Imagine im in a populated public world and im trying to engage someone in a one on one conversation. As a female, the second i turn on my mic and start openly speaking, chances are the nearest questie will turn around and run up to me yelling "MoMMy?"
now you could say i could just block that user, but
it would be a lot easier to just not have the problem arise to begin with. literally when i started playing vrc a few months ago the default setting was already set to everyone, and then a recent update changed it. So this is a new issue that happened for no reason
I see more PC people harass people than questies now and days
Gonna harass Rin
Sounds more like a personal issue again I don't want to be rude but that's just your experience, just ignore it I guess? I dunno 
HEY
HEHE

ignore the basic functionality of the game: talking to people
We're at war, Rin
okay š
You do that by being a mute š
How's your Lime? 
And you're over exaggerating it just ignore the person who's pissing you off and mute or block them and move on with your day
not really. I have no issues in engagment with the people who can see my chatbox
Almost done tbh, doing the textures then doing the scary part
combing the meshes
Misty, I think we can stop, I already sorted it out now, hopefully
Oh yes, also making sure the UV mapping are still correct too? 
ye
I had to combine two meshes (one had no armature so it was just a simple ctrl+p) but the uv was off so i went through and corrected them all a while ago
So now I'm certain those are all good, just gotta hope they dont break along the way
those people are obnoxious and could just be hidden themselves so i wholeheartedly agree with this
what even is the fucking point of having a heartrate thing :/
just to be quirky?
Show off, basically
I don't really mind them, so...
It's the weirdest thing I've seen in VRC
Never seen anyone with those public heart rates besides horror game goofs
And then people show who they're dming on discord like what
BOO heartattack
That's good 
I myself have a spotify plugin, but I have it set to make the current song disappear after 10 seconds. It bothers me when people have it permanently shown
Her textures are looking so pretty though I'm so proud of myself
E-hoes, ooo that hot guy talked to me I bet he can see my heart rate going up when I talk to him! š
OH have you seen the avatar and render I made for my bfs new avatar I made?
man i never look in here
Ohayo
ya
I don't think I have
WOW ok
I'll dm it!
Bye Sach
heya rin š
XD
DOUBle standards
look you
Well, sorry 
Crazy?
I was crazy once...
Can someone gift me VRchat plus

If you PayPal me 30,000 USD I will gift you VRC+
PayPal ME 40,000 USD
Very funny
I'll do it fr
do it
It's only 10$
Lmao
As soon as I get the money of course
Pog
Lmao the entitlement
Herrlo
heelu
What a deal
day #425 of waiting for that guy to paypal me
Hello fellow ring leaders
Hi everyone. I'm new here and I would like to know if anyone knows anything about commissions for VRC avatars and worlds. As far as I understood, I can't sell/advertise them here, but I would like to know how much either one usually costs (in average). If this is the wrong channel for this, I'm sorry.
#avatar-showcase im not sure if you can but if your allowed just put a pic of a avi that you made there saying somthing like hey im a avi creator if anyone is interested here one of my projects to look at something like that but id ask a mod or someone like that before you do
depending on the features, usuallly in the hundreds
"don't advertise" is one of the server rules
Lol i forgot to eve answer thst question
