I RATHER GO TO THE PORN INDUSTRY WITH DIS SHIT ON UNITY AN ETC

floral aspen
#

For bitcoins I believe you are looking for the next largest prime number when mining.

vocal shard
#

THEN WASTE TIME ON THIS HERE BITCOIN

steady ember
#

You gotta install a mod for the minecrafts then go underground with a diamond pickaxe ArtsyThumbs

dusky vault
#

Like what possible exploit could put pc and your own network at risk

vocal shard
#

LOL DESPAIRDONUT

soft skiff
#

that's not how it works

burnt plover
#

why not do porn while mining bit coin 👀

vocal shard
#

????

burnt plover
#

guess who has a 1070

soft skiff
#

shit, if you have an AMD based GPU it's -really- worth it to mine ETH

steady nymph
#

Bitcoin mods in minecraft worth more

vocal shard
#

yall wild wtf

shy nest
#

amd in 2018

steady ember
#

I mean technically you are mining bitcoin
But not the bitcoin that actually is worth something

tranquil warren
#

Hah

#

brave furnace
#

Boomer 8CB4 keeps going around and teleporting people

languid olive
#

brave furnace
#

He's on steam

burnt plover
#

vocal shard
#

floral aspen
#

@languid olive servers are laggging

vocal shard
#

steady nymph
#

@languid olive on future proofing?

tranquil warren
#

Go ping a admin or record and send a moderation report

brave furnace
#

He just crashed the entire server

dusky vault
#

Use Nvidia to mine bitcoin to buy AMD hardware to be free of Meltdown

steady ember
#

Is bitcoin called bitcoin because they are just a bit of a coin

soft skiff
#

the Duo Pro in my Vive rig mines at a 50 hasrate while still running cool

#

LOL

burnt plover
#

vocal shard
#

THE ASIANS FIGURED A WAY

floral aspen
#

You can't even mine bitcoins with gpus and be profitable anymore. You need huge ASIC farms now

vocal shard
#

TO HACK BITCOIN

tranquil warren
#

vocal shard
#

SO YEAH GG

burnt plover
#

languid olive
#

burnt plover
#

soft skiff
#

the prideful ignorance in here is thick enough to cut with a knife and spread on toast

steady nymph
#

Change elements, change your bitcoin to 1M

#

Yay

#

I'm rich

floral aspen
#

@celest heart how is a single GPU going to compete with an ASIC cluster?????

vocal shard
#

lol

tranquil warren
#

That destroys economy tho

vocal shard
#

^

tranquil warren
#

And boom all of a sudden ur poor ;_;

brave furnace
#

Yeah. Great

vocal shard
#

Koreans will do that

#

They figure ways to ruin economies in cryptocurrencies or such

brave furnace
#

Had a nice huge RP going on in a high school, and EVERYONE just crashed

vocal shard
#

This is their field in hacking

#

....

#

130?

#

Ar eu...

#

....

#

..bro i make

#

5 months... 1700...

tranquil warren
#

The thing is that crypto currency is not tracked down making it so good

#

Tracked down as in

burnt plover
#

tranquil warren
#

Monitored by the gov

vocal shard
#

#

BRUH

#

LMFAO

#

Nah ur cryptocurrency isnt even worth it

#

😂

dusky vault
#

my 970 makes me $0 a month

tranquil warren
#

feelsbad

vocal shard
#

I can even make more money making models/commissions for people

dusky vault
#

I don't wanna put PC at risk just before semester starts

floral aspen
#

Only thing is with the current price of a 1070 it'll be a while before any new miners see a ROI

tranquil warren
#

In the long run tho bitcoin will be big ;d

vocal shard
#

like 500 if i wasted my life doing it a month

#

and going to school for a job

#

smfh

#

sdk still crashes unity upon uploading wdf

burnt plover
#

@tranquil warren iT IS BIG THO

tranquil warren
#

Severs

vocal shard
#

aanwyays

#

im off

tranquil warren
#

Servers**

soft skiff
#

the ETH I mine these days I turn into other crypto to invest in other projects like VRChat

tranquil warren
#

Cya

#

It’ll drop down in the short run is what im implying

vocal shard
#

so upload servers have been down for over 24 hrs now?

soft skiff
#

so I'm not mining to make money, but to support the development of other social VR projects

tranquil warren
#

Well it’s not exactly down

burnt plover
#

@celest heart You can't play games though while mining

tranquil warren
#

But did you update your sdk

vocal shard
#

yes, and ever since i get nothing but crashing

#

meh

languid olive
#

@vocal shardpotato yeah the servers are scuffed for uploads for me as well

tranquil warren
#

Man these buggers

dusky vault
#

I heard some people talk about it before, stating that the big boom in BC was due to the influx of corperate interest in it. But that made me wonder what will happen when that interest peaks or dies down. If the value of the currency is relative to the interest in it (and not any material value) then what happens when that interest goes away?

tranquil warren
#

Severs are just slow

dusky vault
#

I'd be keen to sell at any sign of a drop but IDK finances

wind onyx
#

Why does it keep disconnecting me and logging in again

tranquil warren
#

I mean people sell bitcoin for the very fact that they think the price won’t be higher than this and they don’t want to take their chances ;3;

soft skiff
#

@burnt plover It's just a simple hotkey suspend or process trigger suspend to toggle the mining on/off

tranquil warren
#

Servers are buggered

#

Just give it a bit

burnt plover
#

@soft skiff Yeah its dope

vocal shard
#

Even then

tranquil warren
#

If anything try launching into a separate world other than the hub

vocal shard
#

I don't need money in my life

soft skiff
#

@tranquil warren Welcome to the world of penny stocks.

vocal shard
#

I'm dying at some point anyways

tranquil warren
#

I hate economics

vocal shard
#

Sips tea

wise latch
#

tranquil warren

#

If I cn do what I love to do for fun

tranquil warren
#

damn potato

vocal shard
#

Im fine with it

floral aspen
#

@dusky vault I don't think interest in it will ever fully go away. I really think blockchain technology is going to play a big role in the future.

vocal shard
#

Idc about money tbh

tranquil warren
#

U want a cookie?

languid olive

@wise latch yee

#

My life is not at all interesting anyways

wise latch
#

dusky vault
#

If it gets people away from the old world and the old establishment and the bankers then that's not bad

arctic drum
#

Does he have a dark souls skin on?

tranquil warren
#

Oh yeah

arctic drum
#

a moment of silence for dear hyper

elder harbor
#

Fighting the good fight

#

Why do finals when you can do headpats?

tranquil warren
#

Hahaha

floral aspen
#

I'm glad I don't have to take finals anymore

tranquil warren
#

I wish I can be that optimistic

arctic drum
#

you can hyper

elder harbor
#

I can be optimistic for you but it'll cost you a headpat and a nose boop.

arctic drum
#

give head pats to hyper

tranquil warren
#

Find me and I’ll repay ^v^

arctic drum
#

tranquil warren
#

All of you guys ;D

#

#

Taiyaki

elder harbor

languid adder

elder harbor
#

tranquil warren

Vrc

arctic drum
#

happy birthday vrc

#

elder harbor
#

tfw never had a steak or a taco before

floral aspen
#

Didn't know VRChat was that old

tranquil warren
#

Wish I played it 2 years ago

lilac swan
#

VRchat has been around since the very early Oculus DK1 days

floral aspen
#

I thought it was only like 2 years old

arctic drum
#

same

fiery rune
#

someone buy me a vr headset

arctic drum
#

^

floral aspen
#

No

languid adder
#

I've wondered why I didn't hear about VRChat sooner, I was looking for VR games a year or so ago but the best social experience I saw was Rec Room.

#

🤔

tranquil warren
#

Someone buy me full body tracking

#

I’ll repay them with a kick

vocal shard
#

Happy birthday ^___^

elder harbor
#

repay them with a kick breaks desk and/or leg

tranquil warren
#

Exactly

floral aspen
#

Someone buy me a Xbox one Kinect pc adapter

tranquil warren
#

I hit my tv when I try headpatting

#

Life is hard

elder harbor
#

I'm just gonna rearrange my room so I can dance and stuff.

#

No kicks here.

arctic drum
#

no kicks in general

elder harbor
#

I'd knock myself off balance and flip myself upside down probably.

lilac swan
#

I'm lucky enough to have my entire living room as my playspace 😉

fiery rune
#

being unable to work yet is annoying

elder harbor
#

How far do the trackers sense you?

arctic drum
#

when you need a new pc just for a vrset to work

#

;w;

vocal shard
#

llakhyu

floral aspen
#

@fiery rune trust me, having to work is annoying too

elder harbor
#

Hi

vocal shard
#

Call me daddy from now on

lilac swan
#

I got full coverage everywhere, expect for two spots which I never go to anyways

fiery rune
#

i need money but i cant earn any

elder harbor
#

not earning the right to be called daddy

vocal shard
#

Wow

#

One moemnt

#

getting the icon

#

Smfh

lilac swan
#

I use Vive, yes

vocal shard
#

YOUVE PULLED THE PLUG ON ME BEING MERCIFUL

#

i've not used this icon since impersonating him

haughty parrot
#

Huh whats going on?

lilac swan
#

Oh totally

elder harbor
#

Lots of room for activities

lilac swan
#

^

vocal shard
#

There we are.

floral aspen
#

I like activities

vocal shard
#

Lord, this icon fits perfectly.

lilac swan
#

I turned off my chaperone completely and I have a mat in the middle, so as long I stand on it I don't have to worry about punching anything

haughty parrot
#

Meanwhile my room is 75% bed. Life of a Uboat

vocal shard
#

I should go gather my other icons in the meantime. I shall be off for now.

lilac swan
#

Can't wait for cordless VR 😻

elder harbor
#

I have a big bed so I'd just have to stick it somewhere else

#

Probably sleep on the floor again.

vocal shard
#

I have a portable bed.

#

I just sleep on it since it's in my room.

languid adder
#

that wireless adapter..

vocal shard
#

Where it's second most quiet.

languid adder
#

It looks so..

#

stupid.

vocal shard
#

And afk\

lilac swan
#

As long it works, it can look as dumb as it wants

elder harbor
#

I sleep anywhere. I just don't prefer sleeping outside but if it's for VR I'm sure it would be worth.

languid adder
#

I get weird looks as it is, I can't imagine what would happen if someone walked in with me looking lke shrek

#

or something

haughty parrot
#

I wish that could be said about me woop

languid adder
#

... Oh god, there's a Tide Pod World.

timid nimbus
#

my world went public 😄 its got team rocket avatars n yugioh avatars lol

haughty parrot
#

Give me the world link so i can spawn in it on bootup

#

The tidepod one

shy nest
#

guess you could say that world existing is just swell

mental ember
#

Anyone here with VR use sketchfab?

#

I want to know how to stop this damn website from opening my VR drivers while im visiting the site, I dont want to view everything in VR.

south oyster
#

I just uploaded an avatar, if you're having trouble uploading after installing the new SDK

#

make sure you log out of the SDK and log back in, before uploading

#

this should fix uploading issues and the red avatar issue

languid adder
#

Ooh, someone ported the cyberpunk tf2 map.

soft skiff
#

so weird, watching this youtube video of VRChat from 2014 I realized my recall of the experience isn't of sitting at my computer wearing a DK2, but I recall it like I was in a physical space like any other IRL memory.

#

How fucking weird is that.

south oyster
#

time to log into some VRChat 😄 cya

vocal shard
#

Til vrchat existed in 2014

#

Is anyone having issues with private servers randomly kicking people out?

soft skiff
#

@vocal shard There are times when I used to log in and there would literally be nobody at all on.

vocal shard
#

Same ^

#

Lol so many people online and I’m the only one ? Weird

#

🤔

timid light
#

Good moring

dusky vault
#

I'm a little slow on the punch but wow VR Chat was around that long?

#

Only learnt about it like mid last year

floral portal
#

vocal shard
#

Question which one.

soft skiff
#

@dusky vault It was around before that... I remember when it first went live. A lot of us were using Riftmax Theater and ConVRge at the time.

floral portal
#

timid light
#

dying awake

#

cos u can feel pain

lean mortar
#

oh i saw that tutorial @vocal shard

#

its pretty good, i need to rewatch it tho

floral portal
#

I feel as if you would still feel in your sleep, just more of a sharp sensation but you wouldn't realise it

#

if you weren't to wake up by this, then it would be a pretty weird dream

vocal shard
#

good to hear @lean mortar n

timid light
#

ya there u go u would not feel it that much

vocal shard
#

just trying to make things as not complicated as possible and also to make up for my old one that is really bad

floral portal

#

@lean mortar

timid light
#

vocal shard
timid light
#

hasty anchor
#

vocal shard
#

timid nimbus
#

i guess you can decide

#

and make sure the radius is 5

#

or lower

#

In unity?

#

i mean

#

#

#

cuz not the whole world needs to hear your music

#

Is the radius thing in unity?

timid light
#

yes

hasty anchor
#

huh

#

i could never change the audio source radius for my revolver

#

safe yacht

lapis lintel
#

safe yacht
#

Completely lost control over it

lapis lintel
#

timid light
#

silk anchor

#

floral flaxBOT

safe yacht
#

Unity is easily abused, that's the problem.

#

I'm not sure how they can or will deal with it.

dusky vault

ugh what a pain

raven silo
#

!outputlog

floral flaxBOT
#

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt

raven silo
#

just send @safe yacht vrchat email with that or moderation report

pseudo bobcat
#

public worlds are pure hell, don't visit them - only hang in friends only instances

#

the trolls, memes and hackers have completely overtaken most of vrchat

safe yacht
#

Next time, I will check that.

dusky vault
#

Only know one other person who's got the game so rip me. Meeting randoms seemed like fun

safe yacht
#

Hackers get into private worlds.

#

Private worlds aren't protected.

pseudo bobcat
#

not even invite-only?

raven silo
#

well go to world not on public vrchat list

safe yacht
#

Not to my knowledge.

dawn zodiac
#

just got kicked out of a room and told i'd be reported for joining a room from a portal at hub

raven silo
#

just go friend world it not even publish

lapis lintel
#

i had that happen earlier today

dusky vault
#

You'll get memers in any community to be fair, can just mute them if they're annoying, right?

safe stirrup
#

Got teleported several times at the Great Pug and crashed.

lapis lintel
#

safe stirrup
#

raven silo
#

wish was only 40 people @pseudo bobcat

pseudo bobcat
#

dawn zodiac
pseudo bobcat
#

eh I don't like gatekeeping as someone who doesn't own VR my self but would setting the game back to VR only cut out the hackers? I mean it cuts out a lot of the community too I suppose

raven silo
#

@shell osprey dont post that video

shell osprey
#

I know it isn't allowed.

pseudo bobcat
#

it would help a lot @dusky vault but it'd also reduce the community from 20k to 1k

raven silo
#

@shell osprey then remove before they remove you

shell osprey
#

I just wanted to show this so... idk what we could do about that.

safe yacht
#

Maybe let people set worlds to VR only.

vocal shard
#

There should be another way

dusky vault
#

ye, a lot of streamers I see use the desktop mode and of the people on my steam friends list, only one has VR

safe yacht
#

THen again, hackers will break that.

lapis lintel
#

this is disgusting

dusky vault
#

It'd be another check tho. I don't think it's the right way that said. Am hopeful the devs will find the way to get it done.

shell osprey
#

It is. :/

raven silo
#

@shell osprey cant do nothing till developer do somthing it truth at the matter but dont spread it around

vocal shard
#

Maybe until the hackers are sorted

reef anchor
#

is the uploading still broken?

lapis lintel
#

its probably why i cant upload anything

vocal shard
#

Remove the banning system

safe yacht
#

Lots of hackers on right now

lusty sorrel
#

Uploads work

safe yacht
#

In just 5 minutes I've been teleported twice and lost control of my character once.

#

Because some people are petty, weaklings who's only relevance is ever being a nuisance to other people.

dusky vault
#

pretty much

shell osprey
#

people actually take time making their avatars so people can just steal them and run away.

lean mortar
#

yeet

raven silo
#

there some people pay money for there avatar as well

lean mortar
#

imported a new avatar

safe yacht
#

I paid to get mine working. Very nice guy.

raven silo
#

if you need go to public area go to default avatar

timid light
#

okay i think im almost finished with the rigging just need to dup and filp the names then hook them up but ill do that after when i get home well i see u guys later going to college

raven silo
#

no point for hacker other unity chan

safe yacht
#

Well I dont want my name stolen either.

dusty cave
#

is there any substance to the hardware ban rumor

tall monolith
#

man how tiny someone can be, right now im looking at such a tiny and a cute diver

safe yacht
#

What's that?

dusty cave
#

An fyi to everyone who's playing VRC: the people stealing avatars have admin rights now and have the ability to hardware ban (this would require changing actual PC parts to play VRC). I highly suggest to stay off VRC, or stick to friends-only/private worlds.

raven silo
#

hardware ban should go for this type hack

dusty cave
#

is something i read.

safe yacht
#

I've seen some people being ants.

#

Their characters are actual ants.

dusty cave
#

but i don't know if there's any truth to it

safe yacht
#

Tiny as fuck.

shell osprey
#

I've seen a guy that was small as an ant

#

Exactly

#

lol

tall monolith
#

thank god he is not an anime girl

raven silo
#

hardware ban made will make the user not be able use there computer in vrchat

shell osprey
#

I thought they were invisible at first, could see their names but couldn't see their ant model because it was so tiny

raven silo
#

they would have buy new computer part

safe yacht
#

It's odd

#

I havent met a single one until now.

#

It seems to be only at certain hours

#

Meaning that they're mostly located in the same time-zone

#

so which time zone has prime time right now?

vocal shard
#

Noticed the total pop for the top worlds are kinda low is that normal at this hour

lusty sorrel
#

All the kids are asleep

vocal shard
#

Oh yeah ur right

hasty wedge
#

but im 9 and a half years old and awake

#

🤔

safe yacht
#

All Ive come across at hte moment are kids...

#

American kids it seems.

#

4 hours ago, all the Australians were on.

hasty wedge
#

when everyone is hanging out in the basement of the pub but a hacker respawns us all feelsnepman

safe yacht
#

Then in another 4 hours, you'll start having the Russians

#

Yeah, happend to me twice in 5 minutes now.

#

I've opted to not log on for the time being.

#

I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish either... It's just inconvenient.

hasty wedge
#

typical script kiddies huehue

safe yacht
#

Yeah daddy beats them with the belt then they go on VRChat to cheat.

lapis lintel
#

yep

#

its named VRCheat.dll

#

:B

lean mortar
#

welp i just found a hacker

#

idk who it was

#

but there was defently one

lapis lintel
#

what was he doing

lean mortar
#

teleporting

#

alot

lapis lintel
#

yep, say no more

vocal shard
#

Yo how do we find his name

lapis lintel
#

sometimes names wont show up

safe yacht
#

Seems they're on in force or just moving servers fast.

lapis lintel
#

^yes

#

just do that

safe yacht
#

I cant find my output log.

lapis lintel
#

!logs

floral flaxBOT
#

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt

safe yacht
#

Yeah except my folders aren't named anything close to that.

raven silo
#

yea best get output log when get teleport

#

or see name change

#

it show there info there

lapis lintel
#

you need to get to appdata

safe yacht
#

Yes and it's not installed on C and I'm Swedish :p

cold bolt
#

holy crap people need to test the music volume a little better in their worlds

cosmic moat
#

Hey guys would you like to help me with something? I'm currently doing some social research relating to multiplayer games, VRChat being quite an important part of it. I made a short survey that should only take about 3-4min to complete. If you decide to fill it out it would really help me out a lot!

Link: https://goo.gl/forms/G9VdmzKs4glJgiV53
(Asked the team before posting this)

safe yacht
#

You spelled research wrong.

raven silo
#

in window 10 search bar type in AppData folder

safe yacht
#

found it

cosmic moat
#

Ah yeah you're right, sorry not a native speaker

safe yacht
#

They want my entire log?

raven silo
#

how long ago was this attack

#

best get before fill up to much

#

be easier spot it

earnest harbor
#

uuhhhh

#

hmm

#

🤔

safe yacht
#

"[Log:1/17/2018 8:24:33 AM] Avatar player object name=VRCPlayer[Remote] Nathaly1591 770" Well then.

#

Nathaly, ey blyat.

raven silo
#

tell them you send data you spot hacker

#

one developer can read the output log

earnest harbor
#

so, I found a way to break vrchat, and not in a good way

lapis lintel
#

oh yea?

#

do tell

earnest harbor
#

not telling the public

raven silo
#

dont explan any hacks against rules

lapis lintel
#

:)

safe yacht
#

How do I send it to them...? I'm a complete idiot with Discord.

earnest harbor
#

^ and I'm not about to arm you

shell osprey
#

rip my internet

raven silo
#

@safe yacht i PM

shell osprey
#

also, yeah i haven't seen any hackers in-game yet

raven silo
#

just fill moderation report

#

with link to the output log

near root
#

Does anyone have any comfy maps to recommend?

#

/ worlds

gritty shard
#

So... is every line I see that has "Avatar player object name=VRCPlayer" is a Hacker?

tall monolith
#

Wow

#

My first time seeing a hacker

raven silo
#

output log keep all info from the world to the avatar

gritty shard
#

If so then I enountered a lot of them in just one night and would explain why I couldn't shoot people in that gold mine game

raven silo
#

even info on teleport

vocal shard
#

I keep getting teleported

languid adder
#

gee whiz I love it when people come in and force people to respawn

#

and I can't do a thing about it

raven silo
#

hardware banned need to happen

gritty shard
#

yeah... I am 100% not touching VRChat tonight...

safe yacht
#

What if I hacked the hacker so he couldn't hack me 🤔

vocal shard
#

What ban does vrchat do?

#

account ban only or something else?

#

oh ok

safe yacht
#

Would, technically, hacking mean I could resist the hackers teleports? 😛

gritty shard
#

@safe yacht well I for one would congratulate you

vocal shard
#

I haven’t encountered something like that tonight. Where are they usually at?

safe yacht
#

Populated maps.

vocal shard
#

Populated rooms

languid adder
#

Pug

safe yacht
#

Pug Pub at the moment.

languid adder
#

And now I just got kicked out to another pug

vocal shard
#

Had it happen to me at gaia

languid adder
#

Oh, no, I got kicked out to a hub

vocal shard
#

Is Times Square, Uganda, and Doki safe?

sage pewter
#

Am I the only one crashing a lot since the sdk update?

vocal shard
#

why would you go to uganda

gritty shard
#

^

vocal shard
#

I keep getting sent to the George A. Romero servers

#

Yo this is weird

safe yacht
#

Nowhere is safe. They just tend to target where hte most people go through at any time.

gritty shard
#

I'll go to Ugunda after I animate some more anti knuckles stuff

vocal shard
#

Electro you're my hero

sage pewter
#

You're a good kid Electro

languid adder
#

I'd vote for a downtime to remove this exploit

vocal shard
#

I’m knuckles ally. That’s why I go to Uganda

lean mortar
#

another hacker reeeee

gritty shard
#

I probably spend more time on Blender and Unity than I do on VRChat 😦

shell osprey
#

Same ^ lol

raven silo
#

Penigun club should be the new meme

safe yacht
#

Yeah I wouldnt mind a complete shutdown for a day or two. It's Early Access after all.

lean mortar
#

could work idk

vocal shard
#

I do see that the servers crash often these days

safe yacht
#

I'm guessing they dont want to talk about what they're doing.

lean mortar
#

also still 2 weeks till i get my headset probably reee

shell osprey
#

Got Google Cardboard and my phone working so I could use them as a HMD

gritty shard
#

literally tries to master Devil May Cry 4 SE like the best players just to record the motion and sound to put into VRChat What am I doing with my life?

shell osprey
#

@gritty shard Hey, aren't you that guy I met before that had that kewl guitar animation? o:

soft skiff
#

what hanging out in this channel the last couple weeks has taught me is that what I considered a low entry point price of 350 for a headset and 1000 for a computer is still way above the budget of the typical user.

gritty shard
#

I have a guitar with lightning on it and the guitar itself has waaay too many frets

lilac swan
#

If you encounter hackers, please include your output log with your reports! That helps the team tremendously! Please help let other people know aswell, and hopefully we can get this situation less severe.

#

!outputlog

floral flaxBOT
#

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt

gritty shard
#

found more models on the bowl site but don't know the key

shell osprey
#

yeee, that looks awesome. You made that yourself?

gritty shard
#

I just do animation and particles

safe yacht
#

Yeah I sent my log earlier.

#

Good luck with working this out! Don't give up

vocal shard
#

Zarni, I got told to go to the report link in this discord but only problem is that the guy had a Russian name and I can't really type Russian letters

shell osprey
#

Wanted to do something similar since I play a real guitar

safe yacht
#

@vocal shard the report shows the name

#

Just write that you can't spell it

raven silo
#

@vocal shard the output log give info just send txt file

lilac swan
#

Even if you don't personally know the hackers name, the logs will show who was hacking either way.

#

Like if you're being teleported that action will be recorded in the logs.

#

And who did that

vocal shard
#

Yeah but this happened maybe 2 days ago or so

#

Damn if u can detect them then why they still doin it

#

I didn't know about the log thing then

raven silo
#

same with the banned fake thing happen

safe yacht
#

Yeah got teleported alon with everyone else, twice. I lost control of my character once as well, someone else was moving me around 😦

raven silo
#

all that info will target this hacker

vocal shard
#

I just went up to the guy and asked if he was hacking and he just straight up said yes

#

The back up strat to fight against a teleporter is to find a chair

safe yacht
#

Because it's a F2P game and making alternate accounts is easy.

vocal shard
#

They cant teleport u from a chair

sullen pumice
#

They can't detect it in Real-time, just thanks to those logs

vocal shard
#

time to spend my entire time in the chair puzzle map

lilac swan
#

Keep in mind the output log re-creates itself each time you restart VRchat, so send it off before you start up VRchat again.

vocal shard
#

Oh ok, thank you zarni

gritty shard
#

Speaking of teleporting... I got a model that I gave rigid bodies and colliders to but it makes me respawn when used in the Pug some reason. Hope that never comes up in someones logs.

vocal shard
#

Man some hacker just teleported me to the Romero theater and my game crashed

lilac swan
#

It writes in realtime, so you don't need to exit the client before you send it off.

raven silo
#

@vocal shard send output log

safe yacht
#

Get that log boiiii

lilac swan
#

However give it a minute or two to record stuff

sullen pumice
#

I wonder if a software that checks the server events in real time could fix the problem

#

hmmm

lilac swan
#

Again, I would appreciate if you told your friends about this.

safe yacht
#

I'm spreading it.

vocal shard
#

As a map creator it really pains my heart to see people leaving because of hackers

quiet willow
#

those hackers that mess with people are so annoying

vocal shard
#

Hackers took all the basketballs from my gym to the court yard and now we aint ballin no moh cuh

raven silo
#

well see hacker send output log tell everyone in vrchat

gritty shard
#

before you know it they will be copying and uploading other peoples maps too >.>

vocal shard
#

Ill be pissed if hackers stole maps and mods approve them

lilac swan
#

And by sending logs no one has to worry about non-hackers being caught in a cross-fire in reports. Even if they spoof their nameplates, the log knows the truth.

vocal shard
#

I spent so many hours on unity

quiet willow
#

come on, someone, be the white-hat and counter hack them pls

vocal shard
#

I work 12 hour shifts and i pulled all nighters to work on maps

sullen pumice
#

stop watching movies about hacking please 😄

safe yacht
#

I'M HACKING THE MAINFRAME

#

I'm in. The password was admin.

quartz marlin
#

so any idea what type of ban hackers will get? like just normal or going all the way with IP

lapis lintel
#

had fucking better be all the way

raven silo
#

@vocal shard if you see somone use your content send info to moderation report they will remove if has same info on it

quiet willow
#

no, well, it's possible, as long as u can get to the level of what they do, u can equally messing them like how they mess with other

lapis lintel
#

i have no paitence with them

quartz marlin
#

i agree

safe yacht
#

Normally, hackers are avoidable in other games but here it's intrusive in a new way.

sullen pumice
#

#smashthem

vocal shard
#

They need to stop the haxks

raven silo
#

@quartz marlin they need hardware banned happen

safe yacht
#

Time shall tell.

quartz marlin
#

make a firewall that deletes there system 32 files if they try to haxor

quiet willow
#

ban the MAC address, if that's possible 😛

safe yacht

gritty shard

I knew about VRChat a very very long time ago. Was never interested in VR at all. Only a couple months ago I decided to get the Oculus and join in right before it got popular. Was good while it lasted. Wish I got on board sooner 😦

raven silo
#

@quiet willow mac address can be bypass as well

safe yacht
#

I saw someone stream it a week ago and since then I've been hooked.

lean mortar
#

im pretty new to vrchat

shell osprey
#

I joined VRChat two months ago

safe yacht
#

Now I'm looking to buy an Oculus. Sorry, HTC :p

raven silo
#

i been in vrchat for a year

quiet willow
#

well, true

shell osprey
#

I mean it's great to see the community grow and all but it has its consequences also xP

quiet willow
#

there's hardly any definite way though

vocal shard
#

I joined like 3 days before uganda knuckles became a thing

safe yacht
#

Popularity always leads to problems.

#

Just look at PUBG

gritty shard
#

far too many desktop users for my taste

safe yacht
#

So, so many hackers.

vocal shard
#

I was pissed to find out vrchat existed in 2014 otherwise i woulda made maps then

lapis lintel
#

yep

shell osprey
#

Eyup. 😦

lapis lintel
#

fuckin, i cant still upload shit

vocal shard
#

They dont got the team for it

ember frigate
#

Update your SDK

lapis lintel
#

it is :V

#

its legit up to date

shell osprey
#

I wish I had some talent to help or somethin'. :l

raven silo
#

@vocal shard vrchat been around for 3 year they use have script but that got destory by hacker as well

ember frigate
#

Manually update it don't just click the "update" button inside unity

safe yacht
#

Belive in the power iris

ember frigate
#

Download and replace folder

lapis lintel
#

i did that already

ember frigate
#

RIP... I'm sorry for your loss

#

I'm tapped out

lapis lintel
#

e.e

quartz marlin
#

you have the proper unity version? @lapis lintel

safe yacht
#

welp, back to watching DBZ

lapis lintel
#

@quartz marlin but of course

quartz marlin
#

its not the most recent unity

eternal ginkgo
#

if you get teleport hacked is it safe to go back in the game?

quiet willow
#

re launch and go somewhere else

lapis lintel
#

its 5.6.3p1

quartz marlin
#

ye

#

idk then

lapis lintel
#

anyone else having issues?

raven silo
#

if somone teleport you send your outputlog

#

!outputlog

floral flaxBOT
#

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt

quartz marlin
#

so btw when a haxor takes your model does it stay in there personal? or is it like a pedestal where once they relog it goes away?

raven silo
#

@pure urchin they found way to save it

#

best post output log

#

so they lose there account

#

with that save avatar

quartz marlin
#

I wasnt hacked just asking out of curiosity

raven silo
#

i just tell how to stop them

#

when moderation has outputlog

#

they can get that hacker name

#

then be instead ban

quartz marlin
#

I vote hardware ban for hackers ArtsyThumbs

gritty shard
#

I vote banned from life itself

raven silo
#

@brittle crystal that what hardware banned need to happen lol

#

cant really ban somone use IP

#

because spoof it

gritty shard
#

yeah so easy to just renew IP as something else

split steppe
#

hacker taking your model? what does that mean?

raven silo
#

@split steppe mean they can use on there account

#

any time

quartz marlin
#

we need undercover Vrchat cops who play everyday and are spread throught worlds hidden

split steppe
#

but arent all of the models stolen from someone?

#

atleast based on what I've seen

raven silo
#

@split steppe there people who make there own models

dark hawk
#

So I am assuming you can't upload avatars now unless you have the new sdk?

gritty shard
#

and not all are 'stolen' if people let you use their assests

lapis lintel
#

ugh finally

#

finally got uploading

lilac swan
#

Hackers aren't technically "taking" anyones model. They can make a copy of it and use whenever they want. Your original avatar is untouched.

raven silo
#

@dark hawk yes need new sdk

proud arch
#

I'm hearing that these hackers can hardware ban you from VRChat is this true?

soft skiff
#

you wouldn't download a car

lilac swan
#

They can spoof a ban on you, however restarting the client gets rid of it.

raven silo
#

@proud arch no that fake banned they found way get in that messenge

opaque star
#

Download more ram

proud arch
#

jesus

lilac swan
#

Currently hackers cannot do any permament damage to your account.

raven silo
#

@proud arch but it happen before log back in vrchat send output log to moderation

lilac swan
#

Only temporary annoyances.

shell osprey
#

download dedicated ram

proud arch
#

that's good news

quartz marlin
#

even if you use a public assest as well the person who put it on there profile took the time to make it workable for VRchat and so someone just copying what you did is extremly rude (#nicewords) @split steppe

proud arch
#

deditated*

vocal shard
#

suprisingly i've never actually ran into a hacker yet

lilac swan
#

wam*

proud arch
#

same here

eternal ginkgo
#

@lilac swan I have sent through the log in a moderation report

shell osprey
#

lmao

opaque star
#

Download vrram for vrchat Kappa

lilac swan
#

👌

soft skiff
#

honestly the most annoying thing I've experience d to date is avatars using blinding light sources

gritty shard
#

I want to download 100% freedom to upload anything I want that will 100% work as it does in Unity ._.

quartz marlin
#

yah i've never actually seen a hacker ingame tbh

soft skiff
#

teleporting, I'll tolerate... smoldering retinas, not so much.

quartz marlin
#

tbh the taking models thing bugs me the most

raven silo
#

@pure urchin best stay away from public area

vocal shard
#

If I delete my custom avatar from my account, will it stop hacker from using it continually?

opaque star
#

You know that pink color when a texture is missing

quartz marlin
#

that's the thing though im always in a public area :0

opaque star
#

Fuck that color

raven silo
#

or you want to go hacker hunting send report lol

#

to moderation

visual birch
#

I am now a Car in VRChat

#

best day ever.

gritty shard
#

@vocal shard think it would be too late

quartz marlin
#

😮 I should be the undercover Vrcop looking for haxors and sending in logs 😮

visual birch
#

Need an Anti-Cheat Engine or some sort.

split steppe
#

@quartz marlin sure I get that. It's just that I have seen more stolen stuff ingame and clips that actual original avatars so far - but then again I am not very actively engaged with vrchat

vocal shard
#

Go to the pug servers some dude keeps sending everyone to the George A. Romero servers in there

raven silo
#

@visual birch agree need anti-cheat/hack system

low phoenix
#

Is the hacking problem over?

raven silo
#

most f2p mmorpg do it

visual birch
#

I mean people made hacks so damn easy lol

quiet willow
#

problem be they make it very annoying to people

low phoenix
#

Is the avatar stealing hack over or is it still a problem?

visual birch
#

actually its more like someone has distributed it hard af.

proud arch
#

still sticking to friends only/private worlds for a while

soft skiff
#

it's all over youtube

visual birch
#

What is this Avatar Stealing hack?

quartz marlin
#

question haxors cant take your model if you're not said model right?

raven silo
#

@vocal shard it be problem till they add somthing to stop it

mental ember
#

Is uploading broken again?

vocal shard
#

@low phoenix it's not yet fix, wait for new update.

visual birch
#

Uploading works @mental ember

quartz marlin
#

so i could go in as an unity chan and not worry about my models getting taken?

gritty shard
#

Probably should just use the models already in the base game honestly.

raven silo
#

yea just go defualt in public area

#

no hacker want that

visual birch
#

no one explained what this "Avatar Stealing" is.

soft skiff
#

use default models, or do what I did and start using an AltSpace avatar model

mental ember
#

Hmm, weird. Im stuck in "future proofing your content!" even after I tried to reset unity.

soft skiff
#

nobody wants to steal that

glad crow
#

@quartz marlin Sounds ilke that's probably the case

vocal shard
#

there's one hacker i met in vrchat is also in this discord. how do i report it?

raven silo
#

i think we should just all stay unity chan

mental ember
#

Avatar stealing is just them being abel to click your avatar as if you were a standing model to take

visual birch
#

I mean do they literally ripped the models and take it for themselves? Or

lilac swan
#

Also - If you see someone that clearly has cloned your avatar. Grab your log and report them. Then they wouldn't be able to use it anymore, and we're down a hacker.

gritty shard
#

Unity chan is still a good girl

visual birch
#

Yeah but does it save to their database or something?

mental ember
#

Dont think thats possible, not sure though.

quartz marlin
#

i know what im gonna do im gonna make a cool af model but make the camera really bad like unable to use the menu bad then when i find a hacker switch to that model and hope they steal it

quiet willow
#

lol

quartz marlin
#

THINK ABOUT IT THOUGH

raven silo
#

@visual birch one way stop them from use your avatar is upload different avatar on blueprint or just delete the content manger

#

make new ID

quartz marlin
#

then obviously report there log

visual birch
#

Its a good effort to follow what @lilac swan is saying but the real thing would be having an anti-cheat and/or moderators running around but I don't think there's enough man power or the anti-cheat thing is there at all. *

mental ember
#

So are they actually able to steal the model for themselves as if they uploaded it?

raven silo
#

@mental ember there just take avatar ID

soft skiff
#

Now, theoretically speaking, if I was an asshole thinking out loud

mental ember
#

ah

quiet willow
#

@raven silo oh? they got the blueprint ID on them when they use the model?

raven silo
#

yea just upload new model with id delete the model they stoel

gritty shard
#

Okay so like. You can use cameras right now but sadly only you can see it. But what if.... I make a character that is surrounded by cameras in the shape of a ball? If they steal it would the camera work for them? xD

raven silo
#

then they just be have no model

#

till find you again

tepid raptor
#

@visual birch They basically steal the models that players rip from other creators. They can get the blueprint as well to make it perma.

blueprint are not perment

#

#

of that

quiet willow
#

well, server dont always response to the update though, or else i would have put a big bill board with "I hacked this avatar from the upploader" on it's back

stark epoch
#

What happen to to PUB right now?
When I'm enter that world suddenly stuck on 2nd floor unable to open menu or look around just stuck

@visual birch Anti-hack measurements are being worked on. In the meanwhile I feel people sending in their logs of hacker encounters is the best we can do until that is in place.

soft skiff
#

@gritty shard that would be mildly annoying for two seconds, about the time it takes to switch to a functional avatar.

gritty shard
#

😦

quartz marlin
#

so if i get my model ripped i just need to delete the thing in the sdk content manager and re upload it then they lose my avatars?

tepid raptor
#

no

visual birch
#

I think it would be best to find the source of the distributor and cease & desists the hack maker.

tepid raptor
#

once they get it, they have it

soft skiff
#

yeah good luck with that

mental ember
#

Yeah this is weird, can't get past the "future proofing content" bar in my uploading box

quartz marlin
#

so far everyone else has been telling me otherwise

raven silo
#

@tepid raptor what you say does it make new ID?

tepid raptor
#

just disable future proof

vocal shard
#

you have to wait a minute or two

visual birch
#

@mental ember close it and do it again if its more than 1-2 mins.

raven silo
#

id steal what there doing

vocal shard
#

it usually works for me

raven silo
#

id will go away if change upload on different avatar

vocal shard
#

and it's preferedd you keep it enabled

tepid raptor
#

@raven silo anyone can switch the blprt id once they have the model

#

you deleting or switching your own, wont affect others

soft skiff
#

I'm tempted to make a honeypot avatar to bait avatar grabbers with.

tepid raptor
#

Baiting Poo?

raven silo
#

well send your outputlog then then lose there account fast

quartz marlin
#

also im telling you just make a model with a camera inside of it and only switch to it once you spot a hacker

raven silo
#

dont need picture with output log lol

soft skiff
#

oh, I was thinking of something far worse

snow sluice
#

Does anyone know if VRChat is safe to play right now? I'm about to stream and don't want a hardware ban from some hacker.

tall monolith
#

it is

quartz marlin
#

isnt it just a spoof ban you just have to restart your client?

mental ember
#

What is future proofing exactly?

tall monolith
#

just dont go to the great pug

raven silo
#

@snow sluice they cant ban you they fake messenge

#

streamer i would not do any way

#

because this

analog frost
#

yeah the great pug seems to be the most affected

snow sluice
#

How do I go about avoiding the fake messages, or if it happens what actions do I take?

rocky bough
#

make the viewpoint at the inside of the pot and put something horrifying inside of the pot so when they steal it they get disgusted

analog frost
#

restart game

quiet willow
#

i wonder if there's a way to put like a lockdown script that insta-close the game when someone copy the avatar

lilac swan
#

@snow sluice Hackers can spoof bans on you, not give actual real bans. Restarting your client gets rid of it.

low phoenix
#

@snow sluice its not safe you can still hack

raven silo
#

@snow sluice to avoid for right not do streamer if your popluar

tall monolith
#

yeah, i got hacked 4 times in one go there

rocky bough
#

like blue waffle or something

analog frost
#

that won't stop them

snow sluice
#

sooooooo should I play or not?

quiet willow
#

not stop, just make it annoying for them

snow sluice
#

I need to stream tonight

soft skiff
#

@rocky bough again, that's easy to bypass in the time it takes to switch avatars.

quartz marlin
#

delete the haxors system 32 files

opaque star
#

Just call in sick Kappa

visual birch
#

Oooh that's what happened to that one streamer @lilac swan . it was cliffordmicheal or something

lilac swan
#

I would encourage you to play if you want to, LBTV.

#

Hackers cannot cause permament damage to your account.

quiet willow
#

pray for u to not get stream snipe by hackers

snow sluice
#

Thanks Zarni, I'll give it a shot. See what happens :p

quiet willow
#

will be slight annoyance at most

snow sluice
#

Also nice to meet you zarni 😄 I like your avatars 😃

visual birch
#

I mean all the big streamers still streamed

analog frost
#

a real honeypot would be to make an entirely original avatar (or just a relatively simple edit of an existing model), and make sure it's well known that you're the only one that has it. As soon as you see someone else as it, log that thang

visual birch
#

Like Kiwo, Dizzy, etc.

lilac swan
#

Thanks! I try to diversify from the million anime girl avatar worlds. :)

snow sluice
#

^thats why i love you

tepid raptor
#

Weeb hackers are the worst tho. Spamming Hentai in rooms ffs

lilac swan
#

(Though I have two anime girls in my dungeon)

visual birch
#

Sseems legit. And gg @lilac swan

quiet willow
#

that's dark, Zarni

mental ember
#

Honestly, its just a matter of getting ahead of the game and putting a system in place to thrwart things like that as the game gets bigger and they beging to expand their staffing group. As someone who is in the Cyber Securities sector. This is just something you cant avoid 100%, you can only get smart about it and stay a step ahead of the game as much as you possibly can, and that can only be done with expirienced and proper work behind the scenes.

#

Wait what? Are you saying someone could rip your model from VRchat? That same model that you ripped from MMD with much effort?

lilac swan
#

😽

soft skiff
#

@analog frost I was thinking making the default skin an incredibly offensive 2D image and a transparency toggle that allows you to flip to an attractive-to-steal model

lilac swan
#

I got an anime man too

hazy maple
#

act like you... honestly, if you are an ugandan warrior who cares?

snow sluice
#

^

tepid raptor
#

W8 untill they get your cc info 🔜

visual birch
#

@mental ember well vrchat recently got large from memes, streamers, and other stuff and didn't have it in place or in time.

sullen pumice
#

solution: let's all become knuckles, gl with stealing avatars then ..... 😄

quiet willow
#

Ugandan warrior is alot cuter in this case

analog frost
#

some people actually put work into their avatars @hazy maple

soft skiff
#

@analog frost run around with the honeypot model toggled, and when your avatar is ripped and loaded it pops up with the default skin 2D image, but the hacker would be unaware of what model they were wearing for a bit, till someone told them or they found a mirror.

mental ember
#

Honestly, thats what I care about the most. Espcially as a beginner streamer. Someone stealing my name and then going around screaming the N-word or something like that to get the name banned. There has already been reports of that.

quartz marlin
#

WAIT THAT'S IT THAT IS DE WAE EVERYONE MUST BE A KNUCKLES SO THE HAXORS WILL HAVE NOTHING TO STEAL

analog frost
#

bad

hazy maple
#

@analog frost I have not seen a single one, unless you mean skipping through a 1h tutorial on importing models from MMD.

onyx tendon
#

Is it true hackers have Armin rights now and can Hardware ban you in vrc?

visual birch
#

God damn the imports where long and cruciating and especially depricating a model...

quiet willow
#

wait, i see, when u found an extremely rude person, u better check if the dude is actually what he is

mental ember
#

@visual birch Oh yeah I understand that. It really did explode almost out of nowhere, its just a matter of them being able to fight this rather quickly if they want to survive

analog frost
#

I've seen more than a few talented artists and animators make really unique avatars with cool animations @hazy maple

raven silo
#

@onyx tendon that fake messenge there putt up just restart your client

quartz marlin
#

yah

raven silo
#

but send your output log moderation

lilac swan
#

@onyx tendon That is false. Hackers can spoof bans on you to make it seem like it, however if you restart your game client it goes away and you can play again.

quiet willow
#

have anyone check if the model stealing hack also cover the name when they stole someone's avatar?

#

the one i found yesterday wasnt

analog frost
#

A friend of mine made a large knight that can spawn a small genji in his hand, who will then dance to "Toxic" by britney spears. It's pretty awesome.
