Don't overdo dynamic bones. No more than 30 transforms affected pls.
Almost everything on Vrchat nothing but girl characters anyways
guys if you wanna talk about traps and all that goto #general-media
Can anyone go in game right now?
my screen is frozen in vrchat... rip
I can't
no
IF you're gonna go over any limit, keep it to private worlds
nope
@surreal roost Servers are currently having issues. Please check #announcements for updates.
total freeze for me too
vrchat won't launch anymore
Every girl that uses loli avatar are thots sadly
I feel like i'm special person if i'm using an avatar that's not an anime avatar.
read announcement
good thing they shoved alt space out of business
Voice Actor Thots
so they can go down all the time
There are just so many people using anime avatars.
Anyone NOT in a female anime girl or pretending to be a girl in this chat?
I kept mine on minimal
lol @tropic notch
And i'm okay with it.
Only did one
i play as felix, does that count
no
π€’
I usually use a male avatar
Yes
i'm a clown ingame and i'm proud to be one
no
Couldn't there be legal trouble with an official importer? That means the devs are giving us the tools to use potentially copyrighted models
because most people that started playing like anime models in general
if I were to main a female avatar I'd also use a voice changer
@thorny mica Thats probably difficult considering most models needs lots of work before being actually decent ingame. just importing probably would only work 0.1% of the time
Why isn't VRChat's server instability a meme yet?
It is
when you upload an avatar you agree you have the rights to it, so no fault on vr chat
do you like women
i dunno, i treat it like a profile pic, if i could find a good smug anime girl mmd i'd use that
I bet you kiss girls
ew
I bet you hold hands
I like the opposite gender
Exactly
xp
nanachi is smug
well probably less gay to constantly watch ur female avatar ass than a male one 
it's either that
become nanachi
I use a mix of male and female avatars, no harm in it imho
Playing avatars as your same sex isn't the way
i have uploaded a lot of content
anyone else having trouble launching vrchat?
the only male avatar I use is the AFK sign
You know all of you would enjoy getting headpatted even if it was a guy π
@wraith anvil I seroiusly can't download an avatar that someone's already worked out and uploaded on say, DeviantArt, and have a simple way to import the file into VRchat?
Lol
Playing traps is the whey
Asuming AFK sign's gender?
Nobody ever gives me headpats.
i don't discriminate
How dare you?
i head pat everyone
I'll pat the heck out of all of you
I'm not trying to look like myself irl so why not play as the opposite gender if I want
oh yes senpai
Do windows mixed reality headsets work on vrchat
I mean if it doesn't work it doesn't work then fix it in Blender, but I don't understand why there isn't a really esay way to just download an already functional avatar that someone else has made/uplaoded and use it in a few clicks
I head pat everyone tho
Someone saw nsfw avatars in your vrchat experience?
Unless people using Vrchat start sharing just their files just randomly download a file and putting it into game would make for a bad time
why do you think i play vrchat, no ones talking to me IRL
Pretty sure windows mixed reality works
@meager sundial No.
Yeah
400 bucks and has controllers like the vive
It does work
So its only i have bad luck..
BUT
I play vrchat because I like doing crazy shit and getting fun reactions, since my friends are all numb to my autism
Is VRChat still down?
@wraith anvil why
I play VRChat because I can't be social in IRL π
@thorny mica couldn't you just have a copy of the files they made and make it your character? I don't see why not
lol
Yes still down
VRChat kinda costs money if you think about it.
@toxic barne ditto
im having a bit of a freakout because of uh these new "hackers"
You need a VR headset to have the best experience.
@short ruin CAN YOU?
I still just want to have bigger boobs than I do
I play VRchat because I have no social life IRL and Im looking for people who are similiar to me - Hermit who stays in there room on there computer.
lol
Windows mixed reality is bad. Just get a Rift. Rift and Vive are pretty much equal quality, WMR is way down the list
I play on pc but i want a vr set
That's why I use VRChat
I need friends. Please help.
What is this a dating website.
Hah
!online
There are 7220 users in VRChat currently
rift and vive are expensive
I play VRChat because I need more friends.
I play VRChat because Saudi Arabia is nothing but desert and malls.
Yeah man
:T
i use vrchat to meet anti social cuties
servers are on
just get air compressor and fill your boobs with air and there you go, you got your self a bigger pair
lol
lmao
I use vrchat so that i can touch lolis and not get arrested
thats not how breast surgery works
Thats the point π they'll reel non VR users to buy VR to get the full experience
No, you just set your scale higher
or does it, idk
You dummy
I wish i has a anti social cutie gf
I'm surprised there's not a dating room in VRChat yet. But it'd be full of Knuckles going "Do you no de way... to ur heart"
Still waiting for VR QT
Its called
TFW no gf
its free so dont need to get breat sugery, pain free
cafe leblanc
TFW no VR GF
I try to block all of the knuckles but theres too many of them
I want to be a VR GF for hire
Oh do all the chill people go to Leblanc?
Or become Foo Fighters and make your boobs bigger when you want
i played vr chat before
I've seen a few Knuckles avatars with "looking for an anime gf" written at their backs
I dont want this feel anymore
not from what i've seen
but then everyone knew of it
i just ignore the knuckles
gonna get full motion tracking just so i can get hip motion
@vocal shard Same.
was funny at first the knuckles just not got old
I h a t e knuckles
@thorny mica They're just files so yeah. Otherwise people wouldn't be able to commission others if the files were somehow "locked" to someone's account
@fringe hatch you have to have a cute loli avatar and a high pitched voice to pull that off
What's better, vive or oculus, ignoring cost
i got a kinect laying around
vive
Vive
!online
There are 6814 users in VRChat currently
The mute button. Your best friend.
Vive
i'm sold
only thing i don't like about vive is the controller
a vr hand controller
trackpad is eh
that has tension cables atttached to your hips
i'm waiting for knuckles controller
Oculus. Superior controls, and Vive has no answer to Oculus Dash
Block buttion is your mother and father
so when u grab anime tits
Seems like the players are slowly getting booted out
u feel the reisstance
I love my vive but its the only vr i have used
When's the Vibe Pro coming out and for how much?
Actually.
Later in the year
the vibe
VR suits
soon and too much
for that
Pressing buttons to do gesture <<<<< just making the gestures with your hand
LOL
so when i get a vr headset i can use full body support due to me having the kinect
Around October I think
imma look it up
I've heared of something like that, @tribal niche .
I hear the vive pri will be 2x as mucb
Q3
I should make a guild on how to be social on VrChat if there isnt one. Not that'd id be the best source for advice on the topic >.<
They were made like ages ago though
The prices I seen for them is like Β£2000 too
I wonder how much a full mo-cap suit would cost, and how hard it would be to get working with the game...
i saw 399 or 599 i believe
Q3? Dang
You can use kinnect with cardboard if u want
Curious Question:
What makes you guy stay quiet and not talk to others?
for vive and oculus
Someone or some people are planning to create something that you can touch through your PC.
people who are mean π¦
ye but my phone displays suck
I don't think the pro is going to be as much as the Vive I think it's going to be more
People insulting my avatar or tellling me to kms
damnit i should not have tried to change worlds
not talking to others is some people are to shy to talk to others like me so i just join in when i feel comforable
The future is coming
or say "ARE YOU A TRAP?"
So if they made that, you can touch asses and actually feel the ass.
lolwat
Trap btw
like nah b
It's probably coming not so soon.
b t w
Trap π ± t w
Just go to Japan they probably already made it
@wild wadi Probably the judging part, like when people get nervous that they're speaking wrong in real life
they made an ass surgery game with a physical ass to shove your hand into
Traps go home
They just gotta let it flow which also makes it sound more natural
yeah play what you want
tfw 20k+ people on vrchat but still no gf or bf
Is new account registration not working?
I like VRChat not because i'm awkward irl, in fact i'm not.
It's for the memes.
@sharp stag #shameless-self-promotion
i'll call people out on voice changers though
The ability to use unity and blender is what makes this social platform special, dumbing it down would be a mistake. Learn to use it and appreciate the specialness of this community instead of complaining.
verification emails return errors
Speaking about traps... avtr_1e451b14-f054-49fa-887c-e8896f07160e Tequilla Joseph use if you want
@tardy ridge #announcements
I'm on π
Most probably don't judge, but antisocial people feel like they're being judged even though most don't actually care @wild wadi
@short ruin Ily β€
<3
I have learned a lot about game Assets in the past couple days thanks to this I went from somebody who kind of understood what was going on to somebody who had to go and modify geometries and fix uv maps and all sorts of stuff setting up collisions with Dynamic bones
In the past couple days I've learned more about game development then the last couple years of my life

@rare fox Same.
Trust the !online than the bot description
Yep.
How vrchat still exist. Who support?
Game crashes on me right when I meet a cute girl in real life and game good thing I added her to my friends list but Jesus
@soft skiff well said, makes you really appreciate the work devs put into their work.
tfw someone puts your avatar in avatar world
what world has been the most consistent for you guys as far as meeting cool people?
how are there 8k players on when i cant even get to the load screen
@minor merlin Servers are currently having issues. Please check #announcements for updates.
I think VRChat exists for the fun of it.
I don't they think they care about the money. @meager sundial
cafe leblanc and the smaller worlds for meeting cool people
If the servers go down and you're still in-game, as long as you don't leave the world, you can stay.
huh oh right
Pug with servers less than 15 people
i need to start never shutting down my game
Look at EA games, they only care about money, right?
Their games fail.
VRchat doesn't care about money, one of the fastest growing gaming communities rn.
anything above almost always has some sort of toxic people
Ayw
think that's where i mess up
Clock clock... Fuck knukles
always try and join busy servers
I learned to just not feed em and kill em with kindness
I'll kill with you pats alright
I feel like when it's too big though, you can kind of lose the community part
kill me with your lewd, senpai
Omw @native obsidian
I do miss when the highest player count on pug was like 400
Stay in private world and you won't meet knuckles, cory house and other overused memes.
@sick gyro Same.
Normie Memes
how do you get in private worlds anyway
I just mean like really big tho
I have never tried to
back in december when I started before all this mess happened
Knuckles is now the rage comics me memes in my eyes.
i prefer a room full of traps thank u very much
rah
What to do in private worlds can you tell?
Trap btw
No?
traps always seem to be cool
I'd rather stay in a room with furries than Knuckles tbh.
Which trap senpai~
uwu
owo
IF you host a Friends+ world and invite a few friends, there friends will join prob to and you can meet new people that way

@everyone Hi, all. We're aware of a small set of users that are using tools to take avatars and wear them (as if they used an avatar pedestal) as well as modify their nameplates to potentially impersonate others. We are actively working on this issue and hope to have a resolution soon. As a reminder, modifying the client in any way is a lifetime ban offense, and a moderator will not hesitate to ban on report.
Hmm
Example:
Guy: "Hey dumbass how do I change my avatar?"
Me: "Maybe if you asked nicely I would tell you."
Guy: "Ok now I feel bad."
I then explain it to him after he said sorry
But its totally possible out of game too
It's always been possible with Blueprint ID's
A friend of mine isn't getting the keyboard in game, she is just stuck with the diamond for 5+ minutes? Anyone know a fix?
!online
There are 9331 users in VRChat currently
Most normies doesn't know how to use Unity.
Which is gud.
I hate humanity. My friends are... Like work friends
i learned the basics of unity in a day to make my avatar :),
Very good tbh.
@ornate cobalt Same.
unity is actually pretty dam simple
yeah
It's pretty easy
@ornate cobalt yeah me too!
blender is bad though
Now if only i can find a tutorial on making my avatars sword come out with a gesture or something π
blender is just.. ugh
blender has like the worst UI
went from knowing nothing to giving people advice in like a week
the settings button? ctrl+alt+u
blender has the worst, most clunky non-standard controls
I learned to use blender from scratch right from beggining to use the camera to unity to uploading
and changing them is a nightmare
MOVE THE CAMERA? "shift/ctrl scrollwheel"
@ornate cobalt Go to the Steam Guides and find the most popular post.
or middle click
It'll teach you about everything.
I still dont know how to use the camera in unity properly though
just middle click and move
I prefer 3dsmax
and right click and move that way
3ds max rig is shit
Maximo just doesnt want to work with anything I gave it
I don't mind the rigging. Is blender that much better though? Haven't tried it
Blender is easy to use imo.
Is there a way to use custom motions for your avatar
Blender can symmetrise
I have hate/love relationship with Blender
Not sure if it's BETTER.
I really just rather rigging in that now
So can 3dsmax

blender and maya feel like they were meant to be used together, I wish there was a CATS plugin for maya
Just a question about that vr so called malicious users...so is it so hard to secure the content you upload into vrchat because game is made with flaws or ir it still in development ?
Its because its never encrypyted basically, and theres no checks on who owns a blueprint
apart from at upload time
both
A little bit of both
probably
I don't hate young kids in VRChat, but sometimes they just...... are trying to be seriously funny.
It kinda pisses me off.
scripts etc seem to be removed unless whitelisted, atleast from my screwing about with the sdk
I just dislike the ones that are being toxic but ones that are chill and arent trying to harrass anyone are cool in my book
Im not a very funny person so I refrain from making cringy jokes. Im the type of person that likes listening to others, and if a topic interest me, I could talk about it for hours.
But I have seen people just outright hate kids for no reason of their own
Maybe they haven't grown as much socially yet so they think they're funny @weary thicket
what does clearing vrchat cache do
then why is it so hard to change it so those kind of things woudn't happen ?
I don't speak unless I have something relevant to say, period
I mumble alot.
I'm kinda the funny person, but then sometimes i just wanna chat.
I hate being a background "YEAH HES RIGHT" guy
Like, normal talk or something.
so I just dont do it
I want to chat all of u
Then you see those groups of people huddled together talking and you decide not to join them and just sit seperate watching them.
Also, i think this channel needs the vid/pic preview enabled.
Yes. Chat me.
Omw
Sorry traps only @wild wadi
aw yiss
Trap btw
Okay get in here then
chat these pants
I'm new to the DISCORD VRChat server, i think this is my second or third day here.
I'm having a good time here.
And i say that as a guy that hates typing.

rip vrchat crashed, a hacker joined my world :(
I can type 100 words a minute.
I have only spoken outside developement on this server just about an hour ago
@sick gyro Good thing it's VR though cause if you want you could insert yourself in the conversation and if it doesn't work, move on to another group
what would be the best channel for an issue regarding unity?
@sick gyro I can type like 80-90 words in a minute.
seems like a general unity problem
That's good enough for me, i guess.
but something that might be an easy fix
I'm typing on my phone and I'm typing faster than the phone can process :c
Nah @short ruin I usually just sit myself down and watch people then usually if somebody wants to talk with me they come sit with me. Although I do make a point to greet people who pass me and compliment there avatars.
Ooh, sounds like a legit strat
Mind you this is usually in the pug
people can project shit onto your screen be careful
Leblanc might be different cause of how small it is
Anyways, gotta go now.
See ya all later.

@short ruin π
I wanna get in to test my avatars
Isn't there a clear cache command here?
Just do whatI do and always log in on your own custom world
!cleancache
You can clean cache by deleting the vrchat folder within C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat
always works
Hm?
Looks cool lol
Are the servers a bit more stable?
Trap btw
@limpid token changed it just in case xd
Like
Why would people hack
in a fucking
VRCHAT GAME
A GAME WHERE ALL YOU DO IS TALK TO PEOPLE
And they still hack
they have nothing better to do with their lives
Mental Machine π ± roke
...somehow
Testing skills
Well, you also parkour in penthouse map
@coarse blaze this is why we cant have nice things
Not even trying to impress people. They just exist to make others day worse.
It's a hobby, people do it for alot more than you expect
I think he just testing his haxing skill
Even if they don't affect others, its still them learning
I'd understand you hacked in a competitive game or a game that has in-game currency
BUT AN EARLY ACCESS GAME WITH NO VALUE IN IT
JUST TALKING
Understandable
they find it funny,its what they find valuable in it
Competitive π© ebating
Ok, here's the plan to prevent hacking:
Step 1: Become knuckles avatar
Step 2: Rename yourself to "Not a trap"
Step 3: Make annoying music play whenever your avatar moves
Step 4: Watch hackers confused af
whut
Joel did you using cheats in comp again!?
dont some people already do that
wait rly?
Joel are you looking at porn again
Some people actually do that?
I like this chat lol
I think
it's never safe to do anything
build a bomb shelter
you make me jealous with VR xd
Need a meme arena in vrchat
let the current memes fight it out
winner takes nothing
build a statue in the meme arena idk
hey, is anyone able to help me?
well does it make you less jealous im basically forced to stay in servers less than 15 people because my computer is insufficient specs?
:>
I got logged out. Yay.
Okay... Now i am dopleganger of joel
Woah
My computer pretty much dies in a server with >20ish avatars
Vinny > Joel
So what if a hacker like kicks your account offline?
tfw 750 Ti too weak
Joel = vinny
tfw 730 ti
anyone else default walking sideways when you spwan in ?
We are same
the most obnoxious part about laggy game
my keybpoard aint stuck or nothing
is that
just on vrchat
Vinny = Joel - Vinny * Mushroom /2
Wait where's Joel
NVIDIA GEFORCE 840M is just about 50M off of the bare minimum π
Who wants to talk avout metal music!?
I cant seem to find as much fun though in VR than I thought
But then again I had some overly high expectations
what's not to like about petting lolis?
Its all bout that socializing if your able to
did you mean in vrchat or just vr in general
Just get some weapons and pretend you're gonna shoot someone, and end up pointing at your head
then have everyone say NO
the expanded interaction within the game
Like, I mentioned that one guy who I met that said to all knuckles "HEY! Say something original!" and then bursts laughing when they say their catchphrase
He was basically roleplaying with it
he made all sorts of movements
and it looked soo fun
A tip is to look for the people sitting alone at say, the pug
Like, you can use body language too
I always go to the penthouse at night
usually create my own server
and just sit in the balcony
@stoic goblet as a professional loli: if we are standing still looking at people, we want pats
waiting for someone to come and talk to me
people usually dont join fresh servers they usually join already active servers
The funny part about that is
I met a lot of cool people like that
I joined one server with 1 person
and well, we're friends pretty much
I guess it could work out sometimes.
I'm so sad I forgot to add one guy though I met 2 days ago
he spent an entire day with me lol
Xd
and he was one of the people who use VR
I'm also speech impaired
Friend requests were probably down two days ago anyway
i communicate with head nods
@jaunty apex were you that little ball creature i saw last night at open mic?
That guy would always look at his hand
Idk why people who have Vr = dont talk at all..it gets boring after awhile
I love these stories ngl
and search how to do a thumbs up
PSA: dont scare people with the fading in spooky models, not everyone has the most stable heart.
@odd ravine i don't have any ball creature avatars
Man I wish I could tell stories like these lmao
oh
if you're talking about super small nanachi, then yes that might be me
my mistake
I was stalked by a scarecrow anime girl that was creepy once
@vocal shard some people don't want to attach a mic to themselves
cause I think VR headsets don't have mic in them
@coarse blaze they do
@coarse blaze they do
As a person who has a vr headset
Thanks discord
They have built in mics
@sick gyro Is it actually pretty scary in VR? Haven't had that experience b4
@coarse blaze The oculus does, i though vive did too but im not 100% sure
I wasnt in VR at the time unfortunantly but it was still creepy.
then why do they not talk :o
Both do
they do, but they don't always work π if you plug your rift in the wrong usb3 port you'll have the fun experience of having to choose between mic and sound
Vive does
that was my first two days in vrchat haha
So whenever you see a grill in vr and ask her if she has a mic and she says no, its a trap
People with Vr are still people, im sure some of them have social anxiety as well :p
Personally I don't because I enjoy miming? But iunno about anyone else. Elaborate charades is pretty fun
feels bad for girls who play vrchat, 8/10 they usually get swarmed.
Definetley @wraith anvil
@sick gyro in the lobbies i'm in, it seems like no one cares
and maybe there are people around them while they play and they don't want the person having background noise and the people around them will also hear half a conversation
there's a zillion reasons why people won't talk
I've been swarmed more times for my satan loli than i've seen people swarming girls
Ye who doesnt play vrchat in the middle of a family meeting
I have a single main reason I dont speak
You mean the one with the cute walk?
Satan loli
making a map of the moon in vrchat
I wish I could see that
Stop joking....making us wait like that @stoic goblet
I even have a pentagram below me
I should have said i wasnt gonna say
Maybe he meant it's cause of the Satan loli
sry all who was waiting for that xp
proud of you @sick gyro <3
How do you feel? @sick gyro
plus I have vr
@sick gyro if it's not a loli, i'm disappointed
@sick gyro after 1 avatar...you will want more and more
im already priveledged
Im actually just ok with my one avatar
I started today with unity and blender, i have 4 already :p
Anyone know how I can get the Drekwiz avatar? the one from little big planet?
confirmed, I want a zillion avatars but I also want to make a zillion worlds
It may be just me but VERY low poly, but i like it
19999 is prob what most models polys are
@thin prawn You can find that in the general avatar room, i think
@sick gyro My avatar is about 2567 polys
how the servers holding up
when you work with mmd models you get some high polys
insert WutFace here
aren't the warframe models below 10k?
for the quality they have, it's quite impressive
most of the models i get are between 30k to 100k
The shit that goes on in this game.
Sounds like mmd
" Do not get on VRChat today until further notice.
So just a heads up, there are hacked clients being used that takes your avatar like its on a pedistle and can change their name to yours. They were running around public lobbies as other players, saying racist things. There is also a glitch right now where private rooms aren't private"
So stay safe."
Is the game still having issues?
I don't know what kind of mmd models you're using then
after i get rid of skin meshes beneath clothing and unneeded accessories, it usually ends up just around or below 20k
I've Got an mmd battleship princess that was only 17k poly
XNAlara models are good for decimation..average 30/40k polys while mmd bs is 50k minimum for atleast descent avatar
i think it will go into #announcements when the team has fixed the problem
Most average MMD's are 30K+, it's not hard to decimate it (Correctly) to 19,999.
!online
There are 12195 users in VRChat currently
why decimate to only 19,999?
@lilac swan you have a broken part in your map
Has that been going down?
Thats the default for Auto Decimation
19,999 is the limit.
which cats-plugin supports now
Yup = decimated panties =always
CATS has an auto decimation, yes, but it's not recommended
its messy
With auto deci
^
but if it works it works
but doesnt 15k+ start to slightly lag to begin with?
Not if you have a decent pc lol
I prefer to keep mine high quality @vocal shard
If you know what you're doing, manually decimate and use vertex groups to guide the decimate modifier away from the joints.
^
i never take my models below 19k
Manual takes longer, and the know how- but it's 10x better than auto.
I have slightly under the minimum specs for a vr pc
so avatars around 17k+ would give me trouble i think
Depends
Remember that 20k is triangles, not polygons
@stoic goblet polycount isn't currently the main performance bottleneck in vrchat when it comes to avatars. Very few people would feel a difference if the 20k limit was doubled or even tripled.
Guys, I kinda want to hop onto VR Chat if the servers let me, but I'm not sure considering the whole model stealing thing is a thing
I don't exactly want to be banned for nothing
hi yaes this is spark
If your model is using quads, you will need significantly less than 20k
@lofty coral "The shit that goes on in this chat"*
btw is there a way to get unbanned if you are banned though?
Nope
im in a private room for myself, is it safe?
@torn shoal Don't worry, if you're not using a hacked client you won't get banned.
you can repeal but who knows if they'll listen
No it's not
@stoic goblet If you end up banned and feel it's in error, email moderation@vrchat.com
oh ok.
@torn shoal stay away from the game atleast for today...safe zone
@vocal shard no
@rough pulsar I'm more talking about the fact that people may use my model and nameplate to spread stuff that will get me banned
Uganadans and Crusaders are fighting, all i can hear is clucking and Deus Vult
Guy literally came into my private room and copied my avatar
@vocal shard no its not safe
they can enter private rooms?
@lofty coral What world do the Crusaders go after fighting knuckles?
Yeah
Most people end up blocking instead of reporting offenses
yes they can
@raven geyser @vocal shard they cannot enter invite only rooms.
So if someone impersonates you, chances are its not gonna impact you
mine is invite only
yes they most certainly can come into private rooms
Besides of a block
@raven geyser Please delete that message, there's information in it that is not correct.
@stoic goblet Iunno
That's what I was told, but I highly doubt they were a dev. Haha
They cannot enter private rooms, friends+ it seems they can.
See #announcements
@rough pulsar what exactly of that is not correct
Thats still considered a private room? I never specified as invite only.
If its the Knights against Uganda and they are annoying tell me and I can ask them to lower the bar slightly, I'd hate to be part of something that annoys a large amount of people.
@rough pulsar FALSE they can enter private rooms, we made a invite only room last night and there was a ton of randoms in it that the owner did not invite
Already left
@shell nest It's safe to enter VRChat as normal unless told otherwise via official channels (#announcements, twitter, etc)
Okay, seems the invite-only/friends+ rom thing is inconsistent.
I thought so because my room was set to private this moring then some asshat came in and started teleporting us outside the map and shit
TBH the fact that I'm slightly paranoid isn't helping this situation
personally I don't think its THEM entering the private room, moreso the server sending the randoms to the wrong instance @rough pulsar
I just wouldn't log in until they give the all-clear in #announcements
^
I'm curious how they are handing this it seems like their are a ton of people using the hacked client from reports
Unless you live on the edge.
@shell nest Random users being in nstances they aren't expected in is a server issue I believe.
With all the avatar stealing happening I'm tempted to make this PNG into an avatar... https://i.imgur.com/cInBTJl.png
lmao
@crystal epoch i doubt it will get stolen lol
Someone took my avatar the other day
@crystal epoch GET THE PAC OUTA HERE
yep and they can take your name and make you look bad too
i just quit the game until an anti cheat is in
@torn hawk I WILL PAC ON YOU
@outer smelt If you've just encountered someone using a hacked client get screenshots and your output log and send an email to moderation@vrchat.com with them attached.
Yeah, I think I'll be waiting until this blows over
!outputlog
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt
I made a grave mistake
inb4 this is how pac discord hyped over the *news*
I entered uganda
@torn hawk lol
PAC + Gmod is pretty much VRChat.
i have a video
without the 'VR' part
@rough pulsar So i just email the output_log txt file?
pac is good for its parts, vrchat's good for vr. and chat.
@outer smelt And the screenshots, yes.
It's really sad that people feel the need to hack in a social game with no goal
shit i didnt do screenshots
@rough pulsar how are you guys seperating hackers impersonating a innocent person and not mistakenly banning the innocent person?
Hackers are on everything eventually lol
really sad people find happiness in other peoples pain
@crystal epoch nah VRChat is like Secondlife + IMVU
ehhehheehehehahahahheheh
Hey all.
is it safe to even play now?
Seems like The Great Pug destroyed my connection
I think it returned some error saying "LOOK PREVIOUS LINE"
Yo.
I wouldn't @crude fog
What's this about hacked clients? Becoming more prevalent?
I mean, surely, the system has a way to tell hackers impersonanting you from you
you can always use a default avatar that isnt worth stealing
Idk man
Like, I've got a custom ID
@crude fog It's safe as long as you don't care about some walking meme impersonating you.
And the hacker has another one
guys i found the server the hacker made
on discord
what now
@near sky there's currently a hack going around where they can look at you, right click on you, and download your avatar
i'd like to see that
i saw that yesterday, he could decide if he wanted the players name or his own name
while also taking the model^
Oh, why dont we just use the public and avatar world avatars?
inb4 its rigged with a backdoor of some sort
that way they cant screw with us
I personally just use MMD rips so I honestly do not care, but anyone who made there own I see being upset that it was suddenly ripped
@vocal shard How wide-spread?
Remember when the worst we had to deal with was knuckle memesters?
@vast lintel @near sky They don't 'download' it. It behaves like an avatar pedestal. The avatar data never leaves vrchat's systems.
Remember when all we had to deal with was free realestate
remember when all we had to deal with was ERNIE GANG
and 1ft tall memes
@torn hawk I wouldn't be suprised. It's probably one of those gray hat hacks that a person releases on mass just to get it patched ASAP.
@rough pulsar think he said it was added to his own avatars, he could pick any of the ones he had taken as well so
@rough pulsar actually it gets added to their personal files so they can grab it at will as if they had uploaded it.
@rough pulsar Thanks for the clarification
The only downloads that happen are to the cache, avatars still server-side
woah guys one tag at a time for Gallium
rip that triple mention xD
@full iron
Too many mentions my dudes
sorry
wave
thats what i also saw @vocal shard
I find it really sad that we actually need an anti-cheat system in a fucking social game of all things
^
Just as there is light, there is darkness. For one can not exist without the other.
kinda weird how you have to hack/cheat in a game without any progression at all~
The way of the jedi
It's not remotely suprising to me, but it's dissapointing
What if its a really big light
Get a VRChat dev to release some crazy cheat, have a back door, most of the same cheaters will pick it up, mass ban them all, profit?
I do wish for an actual text-chat
@vast lintel Social game, hacking gives social brownie points in closed circles, and attention -that's the reward. At least it can be.
like a bubble over your avatars head when you type
but then theres still gonna be innocent people getting caught up in that though
like Phantasy Star
fair point i guess~
just make the hack harmless
we're trying to keep the filthy casuals out
its not a crazy cheat then?
@near sky "Social" points, you mean being globally recognized as a pleb who likes to ruin other peoples fun?
have a meme of the month
help this is a nightmare
To be honest, in my opinion this is slightly blown out of proportion. I believe the amount of users using this 'hack' is less than 50-100 in a game with 20k players
drakes hotlinebling is playing in the backround of the video
Alt+F4 if you cant get out of that
someone made a "hack" and gave it to his friends just for lulz
thats all
and you are overhyping that
@crystal epoch For some I'd imagine, but really, again, it's the recognizion in certain circles not the wider community. - People like power, or the cheap illusion of it lmao.
Exactly, I agree with your setiment @torn hawk
So how safe would it be to play VRChat tonight?
You're fine.
Play with an avatar world or public avatar just to be extra safe
We should all upload and use invisible avatars, or something really generic and boring. Then they can't steal it. :p
I bet that if someone gets banned because of an impersonator, surely the devs can un-ban that innocent person and ban the hacker?
Doesn't seem widespread, but know that the worst case scenario is your avatar being used (presumably, if it's just acting like a pedistal) temporarily.
Using a personal avatar is likely the most dangerous option
mute
Everyone, PLEASE CHILL THE FOK OFF
^howd you know that
wat you peeps on bout?
what would you guys think if the team gave people an options to copy avatars but only if they consent?
The other issue is that if they can change their name to yours and use your avatr, they can essentially impersonate you
I mean I also have heard they are targeting popular users and I know I'm not popular and my uploaded avatars are all pretty generic.
it is a bit unfortunate since if true, content creators will jump ship faster than you can say uganda
Then whats to stop them from breaking the rules and getting you banned?
i see him using the model and switching back and forth
between it
so yes, I am correct
Randoms wouldn't know who you are, and friends would be able to the tell by your voice
It's kinda dumb tbh
My avatar is too abusable
Besides, randoms will forget about you in a matter of 3 to 2 days
It has nukes
ohno
the dev team already said they are working on a solution on their end to prevent people from using avatars they shouldn't have permission to (via ID)
^ and that would either bloat their database by a bit and kill a bit of performance or they're gonna isolate the functions
ah so there has been some kind of leak or some sort?
I hope they manage to resolve this relatively quickly. I want to go on VR Chat but I don't want to run the risk of being impersonated and banned since I run avatars I haven't seen anywhere else
What do you mean?
There's already a system in place for avatar ids and for making sure the person who created an avatar cannot edit it
@torn hawk i'm just telling you what they said. if they want to go ahead with having a marketplace like they said they wanted to, they are going to have to protect content creators.
So it's entirely possible for them to impliment that system into switching avatars
And people will circumvent that, if they'd really want to.
Honestly, what troubles me more is the nametag situation
How?
Just dont make it worse by spamming "omg haxors"
I don't like being banned for stuff I didn't do
so i hear they are working on it
It's a secure system, people need your username and password to get around it
!online
There are 12924 users in VRChat currently
is there no way for them to completely block this shit?
those people should know, by reading what we're writing here right now, that the result of their behavior will be resourceful content creators leaving the game
Hello good day, a consultation with whom I must speak to be able to make my map be reviewed and become public? many thanks.
The only other way is ripping the models directly from the game, which is relatively difficult
There is
really?
i hope vrchat will get it one day
run really fast they can't click you
block them
@torn hawk they specified that they are fixing an exploit that exists on their end. of course there is always a way to steal content from games. in that case there really is nothing they can do.
Before they can click you
If you block them, they see you still
It surprises me they didn't think about some kind of leak like this happening or even that people would hack. Then again, they are small team, but still, it's strange.
Guys I got it
"always"
nah
everything thats sent to your client could be intercepted
the difference between stealing content from a game and stealing content from this game, they're both shitty, is that in this game you can pretend to be the original creator. nobody who ripped wow can publish it and claim to have made it π
search for "apitrace" or "glintercept"
damn
@viral mountain there is a way to dump data from your gpu to get model data. as long as the model is rendered by another person, it is never truly "safe". that's just the nature of it.
@crude fog lot more ppl doing shit like this when the playerbase suddenly increase as well i think
Can anyone help me with something, I'm using mantis LOD editor to lower my polygons but it's taking forever to do so
@vernal cave can the same thing be done for shaders though?
Apparently I have over 50,000 polygons
Honestly, I care less about my avatar than I care about people wearing my nametag and getting me banned
@lyric nebula But it would be alot more difficult to do
@vocal shard Go talk to #avatars-2-general or #3d-modeling
Yeah, I think they just didn't expect for there to be a boom like this and just didn't really look too much into it.
As of right now, anyone who has zero knowledge of how to rip models can do it
If they fix this you would actually need to know what you're doing to get the models
Which is more effort than most would be willing to put in
you can steal avatars on second life
@torn shoal there's no risk of being banned by someone who copies your avatar, mods can still see unique ID's
very easily
