Can anyone go in game right now?

rose mist

thorny mica
#

I can't

grave girder

no

rough flax
#

IF you're gonna go over any limit, keep it to private worlds

vocal shard
#

nope

wild wadi
#

@surreal roost Servers are currently having issues. Please check #announcements for updates.

sage fern
#

total freeze for me too

grim fulcrum
#

vrchat won't launch anymore

tropic notch

Every girl that uses loli avatar are thots sadly

weary thicket
#

I feel like i'm special person if i'm using an avatar that's not an anime avatar.

grave girder
#

read announcement

sage fern
#

good thing they shoved alt space out of business

wild wadi
#

Voice Actor Thots

sage fern
#

so they can go down all the time

weary thicket
#

There are just so many people using anime avatars.

stoic goblet
#

Anyone NOT in a female anime girl or pretending to be a girl in this chat?

shadow wraith
#

I kept mine on minimal

meager heron
#

thorny mica
#

I usually use a male avatar

wild wadi
#

Yes

zinc halo
#

i'm a clown ingame and i'm proud to be one

grave girder
#

no

short ruin
#

Couldn't there be legal trouble with an official importer? That means the devs are giving us the tools to use potentially copyrighted models

vocal shard
#

because most people that started playing like anime models in general

thorny mica
#

if I were to main a female avatar I'd also use a voice changer

wraith anvil
#

@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

sour willow
#

Why isn't VRChat's server instability a meme yet?

wild wadi
#

It is

stoic goblet
#

I have NEVER put on a female avatar on purpose

#

tho

sage fern
#

when you upload an avatar you agree you have the rights to it, so no fault on vr chat

wild wadi
#

do you like women

wispy crescent
#

i dunno, i treat it like a profile pic, if i could find a good smug anime girl mmd i'd use that

sour willow
#

I bet you kiss girls

sage fern
#

ew

wild wadi
#

I bet you hold hands

stoic goblet
#

I like the opposite gender

vocal shard
#

Exactly

stoic goblet
#

xp

sour willow
#

nanachi is smug

vague slate
#

well probably less gay to constantly watch ur female avatar ass than a male one matsix

vocal shard
#

it's either that

sour willow
#

become nanachi

shadow wraith
#

I use a mix of male and female avatars, no harm in it imho

mortal hamlet
#

Playing avatars as your same sex isn't the way

vocal shard
#

i have uploaded a lot of content

oak rain
#

anyone else having trouble launching vrchat?

sour willow
#

the only male avatar I use is the AFK sign

wild wadi
#

You know all of you would enjoy getting headpatted even if it was a guy πŸ‘€

thorny mica
#

@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?

shadow wraith
#

Lol

light ivy
#

Playing traps is the whey

weary thicket
#

Asuming AFK sign's gender?

vocal shard
#

Nobody ever gives me headpats.

wispy crescent
#

i don't discriminate

weary thicket
#

How dare you?

wispy crescent
#

i head pat everyone

wild wadi
#

I'll pat the heck out of all of you

short ruin
#

I'm not trying to look like myself irl so why not play as the opposite gender if I want

stoic goblet
#

I never got head pats before

#

either

final fulcrum
#

oh yes senpai

tribal niche
#

Do windows mixed reality headsets work on vrchat

thorny mica
#

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

vocal shard
#

I head pat everyone tho

meager sundial
#

Someone saw nsfw avatars in your vrchat experience?

wraith anvil
#

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

wispy crescent
#

why do you think i play vrchat, no ones talking to me IRL

stoic goblet
#

Pretty sure windows mixed reality works

weary thicket
#

@meager sundial No.

tribal niche

#

and super cheap

stoic goblet

I play VRChat because I can't be social in IRL πŸ‘Œ

Curious Question:

What makes you guy stay quiet and not talk to others?

Someone or some people are planning to create something that you can touch through your PC.

stoic goblet

People insulting my avatar or tellling me to kms

vocal shard
#

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

I like VRChat not because i'm awkward irl, in fact i'm not.
It's for the memes.

@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

plain current
#

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

ornate cobalt
#

But its totally possible out of game too

It's always been possible with Blueprint ID's

@ornate cobalt Go to the Steam Guides and find the most popular post.

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

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.

You can clean cache by deleting the vrchat folder within C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat

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

wait rly?

No dad.

Wait a second

I like this chat lol

stoic goblet

So

Im going to set up my room for vr now

is it safe to use vrchat right now?

I think

stoic goblet

or should I just not do that

#

atm

it's never safe to do anything

coarse blaze

I dunno

I was asked to log in in-game

which confused me

but

build a bomb shelter

you make me jealous with VR xd

Need a meme arena in vrchat

let the current memes fight it out

build a statue in the meme arena idk

Vinny = Joel - Vinny * Mushroom /2

The game itself doesn't lag

But the voices become static

which is so annoying

Wait where's Joel

coarse blaze

Btw, to be honest

#

I'd do anything to play VRChat on VR

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

jaunty apex
#

what's not to like about petting lolis?

sick gyro
#

Its all bout that socializing if your able to

stoic goblet
#

Thats the thing

#

I cant find lolis to pet

#

or anyone to headpat me

#

😦

native obsidian
#

did you mean in vrchat or just vr in general

jaunty apex
#

Just get some weapons and pretend you're gonna shoot someone, and end up pointing at your head

coarse blaze
#

@stoic goblet It's not even the headpats that I want

#

It's overall

jaunty apex
#

then have everyone say NO

coarse blaze
#

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

stoic goblet
#

I want overall too but I cant find anybody to interact with

#

Well yeah

coarse blaze
#

He was basically roleplaying with it

#

he made all sorts of movements

#

and it looked soo fun

sick gyro
#

A tip is to look for the people sitting alone at say, the pug

coarse blaze
#

Like, you can use body language too

sick gyro
#

gurentee they want to talk with people

#

but dont know how

coarse blaze
#

I always go to the penthouse at night

#

usually create my own server

#

and just sit in the balcony

jaunty apex
#

@stoic goblet as a professional loli: if we are standing still looking at people, we want pats

coarse blaze
#

waiting for someone to come and talk to me

sick gyro
#

people usually dont join fresh servers they usually join already active servers

coarse blaze
#

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

sick gyro
#

I guess it could work out sometimes.

coarse blaze
#

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

coarse blaze
#

and he was one of the people who use VR

graceful juniper
#

I'm also speech impaired

coarse blaze
#

and didn't talk

a.k.a he was talking to me in body language

@jaunty apex were you that little ball creature i saw last night at open mic?

@odd ravine i don't have any ball creature avatars

if you're talking about super small nanachi, then yes that might be me

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

followed me intothe bathroom

slit my throat.

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

I can assure you

#

They do

sick gyro
#

They have built in mics

short ruin
#

@sick gyro Is it actually pretty scary in VR? Haven't had that experience b4

wraith anvil
#

@coarse blaze The oculus does, i though vive did too but im not 100% sure

sick gyro
#

I wasnt in VR at the time unfortunantly but it was still creepy.

coarse blaze
#

then why do they not talk :o

glossy wharf
#

Both do

lyric nebula
#

they do, but they don't always work πŸ˜‰ if you plug your rift in the wrong usb3 port you'll have the fun experience of having to choose between mic and sound

short ruin
#

Vive does

lyric nebula
#

that was my first two days in vrchat haha

glossy wharf
#

So whenever you see a grill in vr and ask her if she has a mic and she says no, its a trap

wraith anvil
#

People with Vr are still people, im sure some of them have social anxiety as well :p

wispy meteor
#

Personally I don't because I enjoy miming? But iunno about anyone else. Elaborate charades is pretty fun

sick gyro
#

feels bad for girls who play vrchat, 8/10 they usually get swarmed.

stoic goblet
#

Definetley @wraith anvil

jaunty apex
#

@sick gyro in the lobbies i'm in, it seems like no one cares

vocal shard
#

That's why I reformed from Gangster to knuckle to roleplay

#

❀️

lyric nebula
#

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

jaunty apex
#

I've been swarmed more times for my satan loli than i've seen people swarming girls

I started today with unity and blender, i have 4 already :p

i got around 20 avatars

only use 4

Anyone know how I can get the Drekwiz avatar? the one from little big planet?

lyric nebula

confirmed, I want a zillion avatars but I also want to make a zillion worlds

stoic goblet

It may be just me but VERY low poly, but i like it

sick gyro
#

19999 is prob what most models polys are

stoic goblet
#

@thin prawn You can find that in the general avatar room, i think

#

@sick gyro My avatar is about 2567 polys

native obsidian
#

how the servers holding up

sick gyro
#

when you work with mmd models you get some high polys

jaunty apex
#

insert WutFace here

#

aren't the warframe models below 10k?

#

for the quality they have, it's quite impressive

native obsidian
#

most of the models i get are between 30k to 100k

lofty coral
#

The shit that goes on in this game.

short ruin
#

Sounds like mmd

raven geyser
#

" 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."

jaunty apex
#

@native obsidian it's rare to see a mmd model below 20K

#

or almost impossible

raven geyser
#

What lol

#

No its not

lofty coral
#

My mmd model is 8k

#

lol

grim fulcrum
#

Is the game still having issues?

jaunty apex
#

I don't know what kind of mmd models you're using then

native obsidian
#

after i get rid of skin meshes beneath clothing and unneeded accessories, it usually ends up just around or below 20k

eternal glacier
#

I've Got an mmd battleship princess that was only 17k poly

vocal shard
#

XNAlara models are good for decimation..average 30/40k polys while mmd bs is 50k minimum for atleast descent avatar

stoic goblet
#

i think it will go into #announcements when the team has fixed the problem

raven geyser
#

Most average MMD's are 30K+, it's not hard to decimate it (Correctly) to 19,999.

native obsidian
#

!online

floral flaxBOT
#

There are 12195 users in VRChat currently

stoic goblet
#

why decimate to only 19,999?

vocal shard
#

@lilac swan you have a broken part in your map

eternal glacier
#

Has that been going down?

sick gyro
#

Thats the default for Auto Decimation

raven geyser
#

19,999 is the limit.

sick gyro
#

which cats-plugin supports now

vocal shard
#

Yup = decimated panties =always

raven geyser
#

CATS has an auto decimation, yes, but it's not recommended

gilded anvil
#

its messy

vocal shard
#

With auto deci

raven geyser
#

^

gilded anvil
#

but if it works it works

stoic goblet
#

but doesnt 15k+ start to slightly lag to begin with?

raven geyser
#

Not if you have a decent pc lol

short ruin
#

I prefer to keep mine high quality @vocal shard

rough pulsar
#

If you know what you're doing, manually decimate and use vertex groups to guide the decimate modifier away from the joints.

raven geyser
#

^

jaunty apex
#

i never take my models below 19k

raven geyser
#

Manual takes longer, and the know how- but it's 10x better than auto.

stoic goblet
#

I have slightly under the minimum specs for a vr pc

#

so avatars around 17k+ would give me trouble i think

raven geyser
#

Depends

quick finch
#

Remember that 20k is triangles, not polygons

rough pulsar
#

@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.

torn shoal
#

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

Alright I'm outta here

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?

raven geyser

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

lone spire

@vocal shard no

torn shoal

@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

@vocal shard no its not safe

they can enter private rooms?

stoic goblet

@lofty coral What world do the Crusaders go after fighting knuckles?

raven geyser
#

Yeah

gilded anvil
#

Most people end up blocking instead of reporting offenses

delicate merlin
#

yes they can

rough pulsar
#

@raven geyser @vocal shard they cannot enter invite only rooms.

gilded anvil
#

So if someone impersonates you, chances are its not gonna impact you

vocal shard
#

mine is invite only

lone spire
#

yes they most certainly can come into private rooms

gilded anvil
#

Besides of a block

rough pulsar
#

@raven geyser Please delete that message, there's information in it that is not correct.

lofty coral
#

@stoic goblet Iunno

raven geyser
#

That's what I was told, but I highly doubt they were a dev. Haha

rough pulsar
#

They cannot enter private rooms, friends+ it seems they can.
See #announcements

shell nest
#

@rough pulsar what exactly of that is not correct

raven geyser
#

Thats still considered a private room? I never specified as invite only.

stoic goblet
#

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.

shell nest
#

@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

lofty coral
#

Already left

rough pulsar
#

@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.

lone spire
#

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

torn shoal
#

TBH the fact that I'm slightly paranoid isn't helping this situation

shell nest
#

personally I don't think its THEM entering the private room, moreso the server sending the randoms to the wrong instance @rough pulsar

raven geyser
shell nest

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.

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.

pac is good for its parts, vrchat's good for vr. and chat.

rough pulsar

@outer smelt And the screenshots, yes.

torn shoal

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?

Yo.

What's this about hacked clients? Becoming more prevalent?

crude fog

I mean, surely, the system has a way to tell hackers impersonanting you from you

spark condor
#

you can always use a default avatar that isnt worth stealing

stoic goblet
#

Idk man

crude fog
#

Like, I've got a custom ID

crystal epoch
#

@crude fog It's safe as long as you don't care about some walking meme impersonating you.

crude fog
#

And the hacker has another one

vocal shard
#

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

torn hawk
#

i'd like to see that

vocal shard
#

GUys has anyone seen this happending

vast lintel
#

i saw that yesterday, he could decide if he wanted the players name or his own name

#

while also taking the model^

stoic goblet
#

Oh, why dont we just use the public and avatar world avatars?

torn hawk
#

inb4 its rigged with a backdoor of some sort

stoic goblet
#

that way they cant screw with us

vocal shard
#

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

near sky
#

@vocal shard How wide-spread?

compact kernel
#

Remember when the worst we had to deal with was knuckle memesters?

rough pulsar
#

@vast lintel @near sky They don't 'download' it. It behaves like an avatar pedestal. The avatar data never leaves vrchat's systems.

torn shoal
#

Remember when all we had to deal with was free realestate

stoic goblet
#

remember when all we had to deal with was ERNIE GANG

raven geyser
#

and 1ft tall memes

crystal epoch
#

@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.

vast lintel
#

@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

vocal shard
#

@rough pulsar actually it gets added to their personal files so they can grab it at will as if they had uploaded it.

forest salmon
#

@rough pulsar Thanks for the clarification

near sky

The only downloads that happen are to the cache, avatars still server-side

you dont need an anticheat

all you need is a network validator

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~

compact kernel

What if its a really big light

crystal epoch
#

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?

raven geyser
#

I do wish for an actual text-chat

near sky
#

@vast lintel Social game, hacking gives social brownie points in closed circles, and attention -that's the reward. At least it can be.

raven geyser
#

like a bubble over your avatars head when you type

stoic goblet
#

but then theres still gonna be innocent people getting caught up in that though

raven geyser
#

like Phantasy Star

vast lintel
#

fair point i guess~

vocal shard
#

just make the hack harmless

wise surge
#

we're trying to keep the filthy casuals out

stoic goblet
#

its not a crazy cheat then?

sick gyro
#

Need that meme arena

#

let thememes fight it out

crystal epoch
#

@near sky "Social" points, you mean being globally recognized as a pleb who likes to ruin other peoples fun?

sick gyro
#

have a meme of the month

vocal shard
#

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

stoic goblet
#

Alt+F4 if you cant get out of that

torn hawk
#

someone made a "hack" and gave it to his friends just for lulz

#

thats all

#

and you are overhyping that

near sky
#

@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.

vocal shard
#

Exactly, I agree with your setiment @torn hawk

solid pivot
#

So how safe would it be to play VRChat tonight?

near sky
#

You're fine.

stoic goblet
#

Play with an avatar world or public avatar just to be extra safe

crystal epoch
#

We should all upload and use invisible avatars, or something really generic and boring. Then they can't steal it. :p

crude fog
#

I bet that if someone gets banned because of an impersonator, surely the devs can un-ban that innocent person and ban the hacker?

near sky
#

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.

stoic goblet
#

Using a personal avatar is likely the most dangerous option

outer smelt
#

mute

torn hawk
#

Everyone, PLEASE CHILL THE FOK OFF

outer smelt
#

the script can save the avatar

#

permanently

torn hawk
#

^howd you know that

dim epoch
#

wat you peeps on bout?

outer smelt
#

my friend used the script

#

to get one avatar from a world

vocal shard
#

what would you guys think if the team gave people an options to copy avatars but only if they consent?

oblique wing
#

The other issue is that if they can change their name to yours and use your avatr, they can essentially impersonate you

solid pivot
#

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.

lyric nebula
#

it is a bit unfortunate since if true, content creators will jump ship faster than you can say uganda

oblique wing
#

Then whats to stop them from breaking the rules and getting you banned?

torn hawk
#

and my friend is donald fn trump

#

so what?

outer smelt
#

i see him using the model and switching back and forth

#

between it

#

so yes, I am correct

crude fog
#

Randoms wouldn't know who you are, and friends would be able to the tell by your voice

#

It's kinda dumb tbh

warm turtle
#

My avatar is too abusable

crude fog
#

Besides, randoms will forget about you in a matter of 3 to 2 days

warm turtle
#

It has nukes

torn hawk
#

ohno

icy horizon
#

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)

torn hawk
#

^ and that would either bloat their database by a bit and kill a bit of performance or they're gonna isolate the functions

dim epoch
#

ah so there has been some kind of leak or some sort?

torn shoal
#

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

oblique wing
#

What do you mean?

amber parcel
#

oh

#

hi EGR

oblique wing
#

There's already a system in place for avatar ids and for making sure the person who created an avatar cannot edit it

icy horizon
#

@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.

oblique wing
#

So it's entirely possible for them to impliment that system into switching avatars

torn hawk
#

And people will circumvent that, if they'd really want to.

torn shoal
#

Honestly, what troubles me more is the nametag situation

oblique wing
#

How?

torn hawk
#

Just dont make it worse by spamming "omg haxors"

torn shoal
#

I don't like being banned for stuff I didn't do

viral mountain
#

so i hear they are working on it

oblique wing
#

It's a secure system, people need your username and password to get around it

toxic quarry
#

!online

floral flaxBOT
#

There are 12924 users in VRChat currently

viral mountain
#

is there no way for them to completely block this shit?

lyric nebula
#

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

calm turret
#

Hello good day, a consultation with whom I must speak to be able to make my map be reviewed and become public? many thanks.

oblique wing
#

The only other way is ripping the models directly from the game, which is relatively difficult

viral mountain
#

there must be a way to completely block people from stealing avs

#

.

oblique wing
#

There is

viral mountain
#

really?

oblique wing
#

But it takes time for them to make it and have it work

#

Not right now

viral mountain
#

i hope vrchat will get it one day

vocal shard
#

run really fast they can't click you

oblique wing
#

block them

icy horizon
#

@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.

oblique wing
#

Before they can click you

jagged laurel
#

If you block them, they see you still

viral mountain
#

" always a way to steal content from games. i"

#

there must be a fix to that

crude fog
#

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.

oblique wing
#

Guys I got it

viral mountain
#

"always"

torn hawk
#

nah

oblique wing
#

Just DDoS them before they can steal your avatar

#

ez

viral mountain
#

must be a fix to that "always"

#

i pray.

torn hawk
#

everything thats sent to your client could be intercepted

lyric nebula
#

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 πŸ˜›

torn hawk
#

search for "apitrace" or "glintercept"

viral mountain
#

damn

icy horizon
#

@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.

vast lintel
#

@crude fog lot more ppl doing shit like this when the playerbase suddenly increase as well i think

vocal shard
#

Can anyone help me with something, I'm using mantis LOD editor to lower my polygons but it's taking forever to do so

lyric nebula
#

@vernal cave can the same thing be done for shaders though?

vocal shard
#

Apparently I have over 50,000 polygons

torn shoal
#

Honestly, I care less about my avatar than I care about people wearing my nametag and getting me banned

oblique wing
#

@lyric nebula But it would be alot more difficult to do

vocal shard
crude fog
#

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.

oblique wing
#

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

viral mountain
#

but how come you can't steal avs on SL

#

and imvu

#

or is that possible

#

idk

icy horizon
#

you can steal avatars on second life

cedar granite
#

@torn shoal there's no risk of being banned by someone who copies your avatar, mods can still see unique ID's

icy horizon
#

very easily
