yes....it does dafirex

#

it really does

still quarry
#

what is the particle limit now?

tidal aspen
#

Such as?

analog patrol
#

lilirin9 u dont understand

blissful sable
#

just let him read what I wrote

analog patrol
#

there are better and easier ways to fix the crashers

blissful sable
#

he should understand then

vocal shard
#

pretty sure hackers use userids to steal avatars and stuff lol

shell patrol
#

Anyone knows where I can find a standard Neptune avatar?

vocal shard
#

im no hacker so idk

analog hull
#

this is not about being on the right or wrong. And the game is made for players, not for the devs. Everyone has the right to disagree with an update, and everyone has the right to be upset, what makes the games, are not just the devs, but the players themselfs.

raven silo
vocal shard
#

but literally it's a bad idea

tidal aspen
#

they don’t need that to steal avatars

gusty adder
#

Alright I read what you said @blissful sable . I do agree for the most part.

muted plaza
#

mages are saved in UserProfile/Pictures/VRChat

glass zodiac
#

guess its watching anime time since particles are over

alpine cove
#

they need it to steal avatars remotely, Dafirex

still quarry
#

thanks @raven silo

analog patrol
#

they have to be on their toes and talk to people that know stuff

alpine cove
#

with your user id they can take your avatar without being in the same world as you

still quarry
#

isnt 20k particles still pretty high?

blissful sable
#

^kinda my tl;dr Mei

analog patrol
#

not at all

still quarry
#

how would you need more?

gusty adder
#

It isn’t the devs fault people are upset though. They can do whatever they want. It was heavy handed and ruined others’ work, yeah. It’s still fully up to them to do what they want and they never said people could have as many particles and systems as they did.

south viper
#

they don't even need the user ID, just the avatar ID

tidal aspen
#

Can’t they already get user ids anyway

glass zodiac
#

@still quarry 20kk ??

blissful sable
#

That's what I meant with no knowledge of their site

tidal aspen
#

So why would it matter

#

If a non hacker sees it

gusty adder
#

@analog patrol like I said, yes, it was a heavy handed and clumsy way of going about it

analog patrol
#

haha its ok

vocal shard
#

but they can do it without being in the same world now, so they can be a streamer if they wanted lol

blissful sable
#

Of course it's up to them, but pushing it through like this with only given insight to a few people prior before it goes live is what they did, people were left in the blue

placid umbra
#

20k per system, but a lot of people leave high quality collision on, so their max limit is getting reduced by quite a bit

analog canopy
#

Does the new particle limits effect already created avatars, or particle systems in worlds?

raven silo
#

Safety become first vrchat dont want people be able abuse to point break somone PC just from vrchat app

still quarry
#

you can have 20k particles per system and 10 systems at once

#

how would one need more than that?

gusty adder
#

@blissful sable No, not really. They lost work that was never accepted as officially acceptable in the form it was.

naive eagle
#

10 systems at once is very small

#

for a LOT of effects

gusty adder
#

You can be upset you lost work, you can’t be upset at the devs for what they did.

vocal shard
#

Why tf can't I hear any one but they hear me and I don't see there mouths moving ?

still quarry
#

like for worlds?

median basalt
#

@gusty adder sure we can

analog patrol
#

Aev, some use delays for 5 minute animations, meaning a animation with 300 systems all will be active at the same time but dont spawn anything

blissful sable
#

How was it never officially accepted if it was a whitelisted component with no restrictions? -> Missing Knowledge

median basalt
#

If we're not upset, how will they know something is wrong?

gusty adder
#

They said you can use particles and particle systems. They never gave an okay on how many.

raven silo
#

@still quarry world dont have limit only avatar

median basalt
#

Are you one of those people who meekly drop their head when someone wrongs them?

gusty adder
#

IE, it was always up to them to control how many was acceptable.

median basalt
#

@raven silo worlds have limits

vocal shard
#

lost all my work...particle limit great...many hours gone

idle beacon
#

See if I can't be upset at the devs as they try to actively work their own community into the ground.

gusty adder
#

Hm? Not at all.

still quarry
#

do you have any examples which would require more particles than the current limit?

analog patrol
#

I feel u marsh

median basalt
alpine cove
#

again, the update has been live for 5 hours

alpine cove
#

and people are giving feedback on canny

median basalt
#

tl;dr I use Ultimate VFX which has a lot of sub-emitters

analog patrol
#

oof

vocal shard
#

5 hours and people are losing their shit, so i think that means things need to change

alpine cove
#

idk why you would think your work is just gone forever

blissful sable
#

a sub emitter is a particle system

naive eagle
#

if you need examples to see that there should be more than 10 systems, you should look into effects yourself

glass zodiac
#

even basics animations look fked up on my side due to mesh quality

median basalt
#

And you can only have 10 emitters active at any time, even if the "emission" component is not actively being used

naive eagle
#

this isn't something that really need be explained

gusty adder
#

You can be upset that it was a heavy handed method and that you lost their work. You cannot be upset they put in a method to restrict particles in the first place, even if a less heavy handed and efficient method would have still disabled your effects.

median basalt
#

@gusty adder you don't get to dictate what people are upset about.

vocal shard
#

no rokk he can he is god uwu

gusty adder
#

I mean I’m stating there’s no legitimate grounds.

blissful sable
#

^Yea that's what I've been saying in my post. The limit is good and needed, but the method they approached it wasn't for the start.

gusty adder
#

You can be upset, go for it. It doesn’t matter.

analog patrol
#

it does

#

feedback will change stuff

#

thats how life works

still quarry
#

everyone keeps talking about how this update limits creativity but i legitmately dont know how you would need that many particles in the first place

idle beacon
#

@analog patrol Pfft, you hope.

analog hull
#

i havent lost any work, but i'm still upset... I just hate the way they did it, thinking only on part of the comunity, not thinking on the comunity as an whole

alpine cove
#

exactly. feedback will, non-constructive complaints won't

south viper
#

if you're using mesh particles and hitting the limit because of that, you can probably get some more breathing space by learning how to use geometry shaders

gusty adder
#

Yeah basically hitting a fly with a war hammer instead of using a fly trap that would get only the fly.

analog patrol
#

akliyen u dont know good animations then

still quarry
#

nope

median basalt
#

Anyway, a friend's lightning explosion effect broke. The reason? The explosion consists of 8 sub-emitters, leaving no room for the lightning. Even though every particle system inside the explosion emits 3 billboard particles each.

#

Three.

glass zodiac
#

@still quarry its 200 particles and 10 emiters you can't talk when you don't know shit

south viper
#

geometry shaders can more or less make polys out of nothing and since it's in the shader code they can't detect it as easily lol

still quarry
#

20k*

blissful sable
#

that's <500 particles

clear hinge
#

oof

blissful sable
#

but 13 systems

#

can't use it

uncut trail
#

So what did update do

median basalt
#

Particle crashers can still crash people with 20k particles, but we can't have our lightning because it uses 11 emitters and not 10.

naive eagle
#

@still quarry You need to go educate yourself then if you don't understand! there are thousands of samples out there and many videos of systems that people have made or shown off

glass zodiac
#

@median basalt i have something similar to this it use like 200 particles with 8 subemiters but it doesn't work at all

median basalt
#

Even though our particles are no more than 30 at a time

gusty adder
#

It’s obvious that it was a heavy handed approach. The devs were still fully in their right to do so. Just because they said you can use particles and particle systems doesn’t mean you get free reign of how many.

idle beacon
#

The update broke most animations. @uncut trail

south viper
#

how can only 20k particles crash you

blissful sable
#

Ofc I could also just make a 1 particle systems with 20k of the same material. But it'd look shit and I couldn't even add a shockwave on impact, rocks, ... etc.

median basalt
#

@gusty adder ok

placid umbra
#

200 particle systems, 10 active at once, 20k particles per system UNLESS you're using collision, which divides the 20k number

south viper
#

if it's a shader then it isn't a "crash particle", it's a "crash shader"

still quarry
#

i mean i guess 10 systems is pretty restrictive

median basalt
#

Is it 20k particles per system?

#

That makes this whole thing even worse lol

analog patrol
#

lel

vocal shard
#

10 active

#

200 in total

analog patrol
#

spawn 20k mesh spheres and ur game crashes

still quarry
#

i guess my earlier sentiment was more directed towards the 20k particle per system limit

south viper
#

well no, 20k particles total would be worse

median basalt
#

Does that mean I can stagger my knife throws into multiple systems and still spam the everloving hell out of people?

#

This is just laughable

#

Spammers still spam, all the cool kids get to eat sand.

placid umbra
#

Limit is divided if you're using mesh particles

analog patrol
#

so subemitters are fine with 20k bursts?

analog patrol
#

hahahah

median basalt
#

True, but then that's still just per particle system @placid umbra

south viper
#

subemitter particles come under the limit of the parent anyway

analog patrol
#

parent is 1

#

sub is 20k

#

20k meshes

#

u crash

#

easy

south viper
#

that would be a particle system so it would still be counted right?

#

and 20k meshes would be over

#

...well, maybe not. do they round up after dividing by 10?

idle beacon
#

So people can spawn 10 20k mesh spheres but I can't use my hammer. Seems like a perfect solution.

analog patrol
#

yeah

#

ur game crashes at 100 meshes already

#

so

alpine cove
#

it's obviously not a perfect solution, which is why there's a canny thread for feedback

analog patrol
#

I dont get it

blissful sable
#

depends on the polys

south viper
#

no it doesn't, my banana grenade uses 500 mesh particles

gusty adder
#

GV, it’s pretty acknowledged it’s not a perfect solution

analog patrol
#

500 meshes on 1 frame?

gusty adder
#

It’s not about whether or not it’s a perfect solution

blissful sable
#

oof

alpine cove
#

if you don't think the vrchat devs will implement fixes based on canny, that's a whole different issue, but the canny thread exists for a reason

south viper
#

mesh particles are instanced so it isn't even inefficient

placid umbra
#

This is getting way too far into telling people how to abuse the system, if it continues people will be kicked

glass zodiac
#

this is not a solution AT ALL lol

idle beacon
#

It's not even a solution to anything.

analog patrol
#

lel

placid umbra
#

Be reasonable in your discussion please

blissful sable
#

Yea, people just need to start adding to the post on canny instead of whining here. I'm just trying to explain it to some people who seem to be in the dark about everything

analog patrol
#

well

gusty adder
#

It is a solution, GV

analog patrol
#

looks like ur "fix" did not work

gusty adder
#

It’s a heavy handed one that hits a lot more than it needed to

analog patrol
#

but fugged everyone over

gusty adder
#

But it still is one

analog patrol
#

instead

alpine cove
#

i don't think it was Aev's fix

median basalt
#

@blissful sable canny is ignored

alpine cove
#

since he's a fucking chat mod

#

not a developer

south viper
#

^

median basalt
#

And I already thoroughly outlined my problems on canny

analog patrol
#

ik

#

still

placid umbra
#

I'm just a Discord mod lol

#

Trying to dig for reactions won't help anyone

blissful sable
#

Well, we'll see. I hope they won't ignore it

analog patrol
#

tempest is whiteknight Omegalul

placid umbra
#

We've already talked about how to give proper feedback

alpine cove
#

there's no reason to act like the vrchat devs are trying to force you to quit the game 5 hours into a brand new update

#

like come on

vocal shard
#

yea we all know that mei

#

nothing new there

idle beacon
#

You can't call it a heavy handed solution if all it does is break hard worked on projects from people who did nothing wrong to begin with.

alpine cove
#

is this allowed?

idle mica
#

They totally doing that

alpine cove
#

kiri and now mei just shittalking me nonstop

raven silo
#

only one person look at discord is Ron most them busy work in on vrchat

idle beacon
#

We call that an enormous mistake.

vocal shard
#

not shittalking if its tru

raven silo
#

reason tell go to canny developer have to look at that

alpine cove
#

sure, if you believe that

#

but you believing it doesn't make it true

clear hinge
#

rip

analog patrol

schmanyways

idle mica
#

Its freedom of speech

analog patrol
#

oh hey rhos

gusty adder
#

Killing 1 fly in a swarm of 10,000 flies by nuking a house is still killing 1 fly. And it’s their house and the blast radius is limited only to their house. If they nuke their own house, other people can’t complain it looks ugly to have their own home next to a crater.

analog patrol
#

check ur animations

vocal shard
#

dont stop believing

analog patrol
#

ingame

#

all gone

alpine cove
#

if you're so convinced that vrchat devs don't care then just leave

naive eagle
#

Oh we know Mei

idle mica
#

If u dont want people to hate then just leave

clear hinge
#

Lol

alpine cove
#

why would i leave because people are breaking the rules? lol

gusty adder
#

@idle beacon that’s not their problem

naive eagle
#

But that’s okay, they were “too big” particle effects anyway amirite

analog patrol
#

anyways love u rhos

idle mica

rhos is bae

I just finished working on the coolest new thing, was gonna upload, then the stuff happeneed.

Sorry to hear that @clear hinge

#

Cool and all but... particles?

gusty adder
#

What was it?

fair yew
#

I'm not used to the respawn button being in a different location, but I'm trying to get the hang of it

vocal shard
#

oof, looks like people are freaking about 'mah privacy'

sudden sky
#

Rhos, aura, zer0
Sorry bout you guys getting screwed over

gusty adder
#

What about them?

ripe lake
#

@covert chasm Quick question, so i imported an avatar but first of all the legs are standing weirdly and the arms sit inside my body when i have my arms to my side, the bones are all correct, but can this be fixed?

gusty adder
#

It’s fine, they can’t be used anyways

sudden sky
#

I know zer0 stopped playing for now, and aura did too, did you?

south cedar
#

About the ID, can't it be exploited from any kind of malicious hacker?

sterile smelt
#

@gusty adder Thank you~ and we have no idea where the model is from. We got it one of those oublic test servers. No name~ Will check it out. Thanls alot

idle mica
#

@ripe lake ask in avatars

alpine cove
#

do you have a more clear picture of the face, z0lvin?

south cedar
#

@covert chasm About the ID, can't it be exploited from any kind of malicious hacker? I'm really afraid of streaming right now due to this issue.

gusty adder
#

Ah, I see @sterile smelt then you should look for the world creator, sometimes they have their name or discord tag

#

And you could look it up and contact them

lone arch
#

@clear hinge smokes weed

clear hinge
#

yes

south cedar
#

we all do

clear hinge
#

good shit to animate with

sterile smelt
#

Any way to look up those test worlds? This was two days ago and I jave no way of finding the map

gusty adder
#

@clear hinge what was the effect or whatever you created?

#

Do you remember the name of the world?

clear hinge
#

but devs kinda threw a loop, and did exactly what jagex did against majority of the RS2 community in 2012

sterile smelt
#

It just said "public test world"

#

It had no name

clear hinge
#

didn't give us a choice, then destroyed their own game

covert chasm
#

They can't really be used to exploit. All clients know the userID of other users in the room. UserIDs are pretty easily searched up no matter what. They don't contain any personally identifying information, and they appear in everyone's output logs. @south cedar

gusty adder
#

You’re overreacting @clear hinge

placid umbra
#

That's a bit dramatic, to say the least Rhos. It's been 5 hours.

clear hinge
#

I remember, on the last day of Rs2 in 2012, I spent 20 hours pking straight

gusty adder
#

And if they want to kill their own game, they are fully in their rights to do so. Any time or such you spent on the game is something you chose to do.

covert chasm
#

If you dislike the changes to the particle system, give us constructive feedback that we can act on in the Canny. That's what its there for, and we're reading every post.

floral aspen

vocal shard

PLA PLA

covert chasm
#

The system was designed to be adjusted as time goes on. These limits are not written on stone tablets.

cloud mica
#

Isn't the userid the display name as well?

gusty adder
#

People don’t realize that either

lone arch
#

HYPERS okie

vocal shard
#

awww

clear hinge
#

That's good Tupper, but I feel leaving feedback that your probably sick of hearing would be pointless.

gusty adder
#

People are acting like these limits are the final ones that will never be changed

floral aspen
#

feedback is never pointless

raven silo
#

best post all fact what you need for particle in that feedback explain

gusty adder
#

And yeah

alpine cove
#

the more people who leave specific feedback, the more obvious it is that the feedback is wanted

vocal shard
#

@placid umbra do u remember pedestals? When ppl were mad about that change they promised toggle. Never happened

alpine cove
#

if anything they'd probably prefer to see lots of people give the same feedback

gusty adder
#

If they get tired of reading it, they can just take a break and come back after to read more @clear hinge

alpine cove
#

because if lots of people give the same feedback, it's much easier to decide if it's a good idea than if it's just one person

clear hinge
#

I feel the game should get as many as talented coder players in game, and help the devs in making a toggle for Particles on/off in menus. But I'll leave that on Canny.

raven silo
#

avatar on pedestial was have server cost problem they rent from

#

plus made world load take to long

#

for avatar

vocal shard
#

So now same excuse for particles? Lul

south cedar
#

i was a very active programmer on Second Life, moved to VRChat and i expect it to be way better than it

#

we just need to give it time

#

and contribute giving feedback

gusty adder
#

Why are you upset, Pencil?

raven silo
#

particle beause people abuse system

#

so they need feedback how much particle people need

gusty adder
#

Yeah exactly

alpine cove
#

the people who have the most important feedback seem to have already set up their minds that the devs won't listen to the feedback though, Nudist

gusty adder
#

Being better aware of a general average helps them decide whether to adjust it

vocal shard
#

I've crashed and experienced permanent framerate loss because of particles

#

So there should be a limit

fair magnet
#

whats the current limit

gusty adder
#

It’s listed there

fair magnet
#

oh

alpine cove
#

limit is good, it just needs to be tweaked

#

which feedback will help with

gusty adder
#

Exactly

#

It doesn’t need to be super high

#

But it can be balanced between not lagging people

#

And still looking alright

#

Without needing to be super gorgeous

south cedar
#

Well you do have an idea of how absurd VRChat grow, that wasnt rlly expected, they do try to hear it, in the game dev department we KNOW that feedback is extremely important, but they are still fixing their own team to meet what ppl expect.

halcyon ingot
#

I'd rather it be a local on/off toggle than limiting peoples creativity.

alpine cove
#

from what i've seen most people believe more active systems and less particles per system is a better compromise

fair magnet
#

this doesnt seem so bad

idle beacon
#

Honestly, they should work on optimizing the core game rather than punching people who are passionate about their animation projects on the shins.

clear hinge
#

Limit particles to 5k per system, but do not limit our amount of particle systems, some of my models idle particle systems well excede over 10 alone. Yet alone the 100+ systems I have on animations on other models

median basalt
#

More active systems is definitely something we need

glass zodiac
#

"I'd rather it be a local on/off toggle than limiting peoples creativity"

gusty adder
#

You don’t need that many systems

alpine cove
#

an on/off toggle would be nice, but i'd also like per-user options

clear hinge
#

I make really good shit

#

I need that many

halcyon ingot
#

@glass zodiac I wish I had said that.

alpine cove
#

so i can 'unblock' peoples' animations if they don't lag me

gusty adder
#

No, you don’t.

median basalt
#

And limits per system make little sense. I would rather have a limit of 50k total than a limit of 5 systems with 10k each

glass zodiac
#

@halcyon ingot that why i added " "

gusty adder
#

Then that’s not for VR chat suitable.

halcyon ingot
#

""I'd rather it be a local on/off toggle than limiting peoples creativity""

idle beacon
#

Yeah a person-by-person avatar blocker would be nice.

naive eagle
#

Works fine for my vrchat when I see his effects

median basalt
#

@gusty adder spoken like someone who has never seen a particle system prefab

clear hinge
#

I got a $3,000 desktop, I will use as many as I want until I start lagging on my computer, then I'll adjust it

naive eagle
#

Not sure you know what you’re talking about lili

ivory hollow
#

is the userID patch out yet?

clear hinge
#

^

naive eagle
#

Er

#

Wrong person

gusty adder
#

It’s almost like others don’t, Rhos

alpine cove
#

that seems like a better overall fix Rokk

halcyon ingot
#

@ivory hollow nah

naive eagle
#

I mean Lili*

gusty adder
#

And that numbers are not balanced around top end

south cedar
#

@covert chasm i see, thanks for the clarification! really glad to hear that! I noticed that several animations that were made with the old particle system are now "bugged", is there any kind of advice that i can tell to my public so they can fix their own animations?

vocal shard
#

the max active is 10 atm

gusty adder
#

Azami

alpine cove
#

i don't know the performance impact of multiple emitters versus just one but i assume if they're not all emitting at full bore constantly it's not significant

gusty adder
#

The issue isn’t just one person using whatever

median basalt
#

Instead of a 20k limit per system, I would much rather see a big global limit per user. Especially when it comes to meshes, which for some reason are penalized 100 times heavier than billboards. Proportionally.

gusty adder
#

It’s that multiple people in a server can all do that if you have the limit as none or whatever huge amount you want

#

IE

halcyon ingot
#

@south cedar If their particles dont work then tweak them to be within the limits

median basalt
#

@gusty adder that was never really an issue tho

gusty adder
#

100 from 1 person might not be bad

clear hinge
#

optimized

alpine cove
#

aren't mesh particles the heavy hitters?

clear hinge
#

never laggy from me

gusty adder
#

Rhos

idle mica
#

if u dont have a good pc why u playing a vr game?

drifting dust
#

gday Rhos

gusty adder
#

One person in a server isn’t the issue by themselves unless they just don’t know how to optimize at all

#

Or are trying to crash others

clear hinge
#

I agree with blizzard.

gusty adder
#

It’s that more than one person is going to be using particle effects in a server and it adds up

alpine cove
#

i've seen a lot of really cool animations that don't cause lag, but you can't force people to optimize their animations so it's a tricky spot to b e in

clear hinge
#

Then toggle particles off

idle beacon
#

@idle mica The man of truths.

clear hinge
#

it's not a hard system to code

idle mica
#

Yes have a local particle toggle

tidal aspen
#

reeeee your single static particle is lagging me

clear hinge
#

give me like 5 months as a 1 man project

#

I will do that for this game

vocal shard
#

I have a pretty good laptop, but it still gets me laggy if there are too many particles

clear hinge
#

alone

idle mica
#

Yes thats if ppl dont know how to optimize

gusty adder
#

Yeah and that’s the issue

idle beacon
#

The game is not made for laptop people, Jesus. It's a VR game which means 970+, at least.

alpine cove
#

people are already freaking out over a 6 hour old patch, i dunno if they could wait 5 months lol

idle mica
#

The patch will ruin many communities that are built with particles

glass zodiac
#

Usually people starts "lagging" with 500 particles active at once IN the same point if they are split or far away its more than 1k

idle mica
#

If they make a slider

#

It would make thing so much better

clear hinge
#

cuz ur pc sucks

#

k3k

vocal shard
#

Wait is it just vrchat accounts at risk or is it steam to?

thats a very ignorant way of thinking @idle mica
you are pretty much excluding every player that isnt able to run your fancy particle systems.

covert chasm
#

@south cedar We're still working on the limit system-- this is the first version, after all. We encourage people to test it out and see where its behaving like it should (https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/avatar-particle-system-limits) or if its broken. This is "v1" of the limiter, and it can/will change as we see people need it changed.

alpine cove
#

a slider wouldn't be a very reliable fix. it'd have to be a toggle if anything

#

you'd need like 7 sliders to control every aspect of particle systems

idle mica
#

Just have a slider tupper

halcyon ingot
#

You guys should have made it a local on/off toggle

vocal shard
#

A toggle may be a better idea

idle mica
#

Would be way better

alpine cove
#

slider for what?

idle mica
#

For particles

clear hinge
#

Toggle is a better idea

south cedar
#

@covert chasm i see! i'll forward it up asap, thanks :]

placid umbra
#

Guys, Discord is not the place for feedback.

alpine cove
#

you'd need a slider for particles, a slider for emissions, a slider for emitters

glass zodiac
#

there is nothing to test since 90% of effects are broken

alpine cove
#

a slider for collisions

idle mica
#

Yes ik

halcyon ingot
#

@placid umbra It's the place for a disscusion on the game tho

idle mica
#

This already exists

alpine cove
#

and the standard end user would have no idea how to use those sliders

idle mica
#

it has almost 200 upvotes

alpine cove
#

so it's not a good end user implementation

placid umbra
gusty adder
#

@glass zodiac or, you COULD just make particle effects within the limits to test said limits

idle mica
#

If they dont know how

#

Then have tutorials

covert chasm
#

Aev's right, it isn't the best for feedback. But discussion is ok.

Sliders aren't a great solution. Like Tempest said, you'd need one for emission rate, emission count, mesh particle count, collision quality count, what about high quality? low quality?

alpine cove
#

when you develop software, you develop it so it's usable for the largest average of the playerbase you can

#

that's like, basic software best practice

covert chasm
#

A toggle is a bit better, but it has its own issues. We're already talking about the issues pretty heavily internally.

clear hinge
#

Well, as soon as the last flame for the animator communities dies out, VRchat's numbers will dwindle fast

Finally adding this limits now we don't have to struggle with crashing avatars.

tulip violet
#

is this Particle System Limiter a good Idea Tupper? cause on one of the streams saying that People are Complaining about this Update

vocal shard
#

Not everyone's going to read a tutorial. In my MMD server people ask for a better explanation of the simplest MMD/VRchat tutorials. too.

median basalt
#

@south cedar sorry, but those still exist. Not mitigated in the slightest.

idle mica
#

A lot of people are upset

#

about this update

alpine cove
#

"in the slightest" is a hyperbole

gusty adder
#

Incorrect @median basalt

halcyon ingot
#

This is going to have a minimal impact on crashers

gusty adder
#

It is partially mitigated

median basalt
#

I mean, the crashers have been somewhat mitigated, but there's plenty of ways for them to still do it

alpine cove
#

there's almost certainly crash methods that were fixed by this

vocal shard
#

make something cool within limits for now and wait for the inevitable tweaks

covert chasm
#

If a previously unrestricted system is then restricted, there will be pushback. That's the nature of this kind of beast.

idle mica
#

Crashers are already still crashing ppl

idle beacon
#

If people intend to do harm they will find a way to do it.

gusty adder
#

So therefore “not mitigated in the slightest” is blatantly incorrect

south cedar
#

Well yeah true, but the "easiest" method of crashing is now safer.

gusty adder
#

If you have 100 ways to crash people

idle mica
#

This update limited something that didnt need to be limited

median basalt
#

I can't wait for next month for the "all shaders are removed" update

alpine cove
#

a toggle switch would be the best option of those recommended, but if i want to only block one person's particles without blocking them entirely, what do i do then?

gusty adder
#

And you take out 1

#

You still have 99

analog patrol
#

pushback

idle mica
#

Next we will remove custom avatars

south cedar
#

most of the ppl that knew how to crash now cannot.

analog patrol
#

it literally solved nothing

gusty adder
#

But you also still did take out 1

idle beacon
#

After that we will remove custom worlds

@median basalt too real 😦

#

again, your feedback is not constructive right now

Would it be difficult to implement launch options for both pc and vr? kinda like it is now but lets say, when you launch in vr or pc give you the option to play it in low or high settings, if low then limit the number of particles, lighting and other options that the game would render. if High is selected then go bonkers with the effects. I know something similar is already there but in reality is only available for pc players and to be honest a dont see much of a difference but that is maybe because my pc is decent. I just hope the VRChat team doesnt start taking more stuff away only because of complains, sure if your system sucks then turn off the graphics settings, boom, done but dont ruin it for the rest of us that can run the game properly...

if you're consistently getting under 90 fps, the rift automatically locks you to 45

Yeah, the Rift is either 90 or 45. Kinda sucks

what about Vive?

vocal shard
#

there a way to make it possible to upload avatars because now, I got to get verified I have no idea how that works, I have been uploading even before the damn update.

alpine cove
#

well, bouncing between 60 and 70 fps constantly causes motion sickness issues

idle beacon
#

The human eye can not take more than 10 particle emitters at once. Ban.

median basalt
#

I think it's not just to make the experience smoother. It's necessary for their smoothing technology to work, so you don't get jitter when looking left/right.

dark narwhal
#

The human eye cannot see more than one cat girl at a time

alpine cove
#

yeah

median basalt
#

So you can still look around at 10 FPS without going into a seizure

alpine cove
#

that jitter is the worst thing honestly, when someone joins a world with a bad avatar

#

i still get 45 fps, but when i move my head there's a ton of jitter

#

makes me sick

gusty adder
#

Something that bothers me with the Rift is

median basalt
#

I'm not sure if my CPU or GPU is the bottleneck, not sure what to overclock

gusty adder
#

I'm not sure if it's just my headset or bad sensor placement or stuff

#

but like when I put my headset back on after taking it off for a while

median basalt
#

Probably my 9 year old CPU

gusty adder
#

the sensors don't 'sync' up

idle beacon
#

@median basalt I have the same problem, dude. It's avatars loading that usually makes me want to convulse.

gusty adder
#

so it's super laggy/dizzy-inducing

alpine cove
#

the rift has some issues with SteamVR still

gusty adder
#

normally it 'syncs' up after like 10 seconds

alpine cove
#

i think that's probably the root of that issue

gusty adder
#

but sometimes it just doesn't and i have to restart like my entire computer

median basalt
#

Oh, you mean that the sensors are misplaced when you see them in VR?

gusty adder
#

to fix it

alpine cove
#

sometimes if i take my headset off and put it back on, i'm stuck at black screen and i have to restart

#

but only in SteamVR games with the Rift

ruby needle
#

disable the reprojection things within stream vr's settings since oculus handles its own thing.

alpine cove
#

never happens in Oculus store stuff

#

oh man

#

if that fixes it

#

but yeah, SteamVR only recently got official Rift support, so it's still a bit iffy

south cedar
#

speaking about VR, any idea how do i get that special menu on steamVR with graphics options and stuff?

gusty adder
#

If I take my headset off, like to go get food or whatever or just bathroom, then I come back, if I put it back on and look at VRChat, it's super laggy/framerate is super low/it's super nauseating. However, if I open up the Steam menu or the Oculus Rift menu, it's not laggy or anything at all in there and sensors seem to work perfectly fine in those two menus, it's just in VR Chat. It usually 'resyncs' after like 10 seconds, but sometimes it takes restarting my entire computer @median basalt

south cedar
#

i noticed that some other streamers also have that.

gusty adder
#

Any idea what could be causing it?

alpine cove
#

the thing that annoys me the most is, my SteamVR Home seems to be resetting constantly now, so every time I load into it I have to go through the little "tutorial"

#

oh well thanks anyway @idle beacon

median basalt
#

I think he might have chosen the wrong release channel in the SDK

#

Or he has to go back one SDK version

idle beacon
#

You're welcome @thin dagger

gusty adder
#

Does restarting Steam VR fix the issue for you, Rokk?

south cedar
#

I mean, there is a "Advanced Options" menu in Poke's SteamVR @alpine cove

clear hinge
#

When the Devs ask the unknowledgeable streamers with particle systems/unity to beta test, instead of asking VRchat's best animators that this game has ever seren, like Floppiii for example

#

fucking oof on Devs part.

alpine cove
#

hmm

#

i must have enabled it at some point then

south cedar
#

i see.

idle mica
#

Watch out those rp streamers own vrchat

the devs hate creativity just make a damn option to turn off particals

Ban bossy

south cedar

@alpine cove

alpine cove
#

oooh, okay

median basalt
#

@gusty adder restarting the game fixes it for me

clear hinge
#

How about we all spam the extremely dangerous assets us animators have been passing along eachother and just give people free reign over our stuff. Good luck taming that wild fire.

alpine cove
#

I thought you meant SteamVR Home lol

gusty adder
#

ah, I'll try that next time, thanks for the help Rokk

south cedar
#

It stays at VRHome but it's called OpenVR haha

gusty adder
#

Rhos, calm down

idle mica
#

no u

gusty adder
#

You are seriously overreacting

alpine cove

dang, i'm gonna download this

Super TRIGGERED

Im waiting for a toggleable hide traps option

i have a buggy avatar that really screws up performance when you decimate it

gusty adder
#

Tupper himself said the limits weren't final and were open to adjustment

south cedar
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

idle mica
#

they open to nothing lel

hasty wedge
#

here we go again LeanderXD

idle mica
#

i take that back

#

if they want to limit it theyll make us pay

analog patrol
#

blizzard he said that, dont be a dick

south cedar
#

@alpine cove it sounds reaaaaally useful!

alpine cove
#

will there be an inverse, Doki Doki?

#

i want to block everything but traps

vocal shard
#

So who wants a shader to kill ppl?

analog patrol
#

they will change, I guess, but if it takes a month to do so

#

rip

#

btw

idle mica

sorry just ventalating dont beat me zero

irl death or in game?

I want to set all avatars to default into traps

@alpine cove if we are lucky then yes

sword art online death game vrchat when

well besides sao being a trash anime

for now

that's a good thing at least

Pencil, will trade for the MegaAbsoluteFalse.shader

analog patrol

yeah

median basalt

@indigo fern I agree

hasty wedge
#

and come back stronger tomorrow

gusty adder
#

MegaAbsoluteFalse?

analog patrol
#

yeah

#

but they wont spread

#

as quick

#

needs time to spread that shit

clear hinge
#

super dangerous br00dah

gusty adder
#

Oh, that's great, Mei

median basalt
#

Actually, we should remove all public avatars, except Nikei, who is replaced by Felix Argyle with Nikei's head

#

I'd buy it

hasty wedge
#

NO

alpine cove
#

there's always going to be hacks in online games. the only way to stop it is to make literally everything server-side, and that would tank performance in any online game

full isle
#

LOL

gusty adder
#

His pants needs a bigger bulge, Rokk

indigo fern
#

where does one acquire a Nikei avatar anyway?

median basalt
#

You jest, but I've seen an avatar with dynamic bones on the bulge.

alpine cove
#

i'm putting an "I Love Traps" tramp stamp on my avatar right now

#

and that's not a joke

analog patrol
#

n8 its private

hasty wedge
#

only the legends can obtain the mighty custom avatar

gusty adder
#

I've seen that too before Rokk

median basalt
#

@indigo fern honestly, I have no idea. I think most people got them from cache rips

gusty adder
#

That was amazing in a way

dark narwhal
#

My pants need a bulge as well

median basalt
#

Since most of the ones I've seen didn't have any visemes

analog patrol
#

I have it lul

south cedar
#

@alpine cove marry me ❤

alpine cove
#

yeah, i've seen the felix with the dynamic boned bulge

#

it's dope

gusty adder
#

reeee weightpainting in blender makes me want to die

hasty wedge
#

LOOOOL

median basalt
#

But does the bulge have colliders?

indigo fern
#

Nikei is a sacred avatar then

hasty wedge
#

dynamic bone bulge with collideras

analog patrol
#

yeah

hasty wedge
#

OwO

south cedar
#

all my avatars are Felix's, never thought about adding dynamic bones to the bulge. i'm so doing that RN.

winged quartz
#

Oh well

gusty adder
#

I wonder if it would be sort of neat where

strange wagon
#

i just heard ppl talk about something that if the mods see you ingame with an avatar above 20k polygons they'll ban you?

winged quartz
#

Oh hi @south cedar

south cedar
#

Hello there.

alpine cove
#

we're gonna be good friends nudist

winged quartz
#

tudo bem?

alpine cove
#

if you catch my drift

south cedar
#

LOL

alpine cove
#

long as you got the felix with the nips out

idle mica
#

what wont they ban u for now

median basalt
#

@strange wagon people say that stuff a lot

dark narwhal
#

If u catch my "bulge"

south cedar
#

@alpine cove actually do.

median basalt
#

I've also heard people say that they'll ban you if you go above 60k.

alpine cove
#

👌

fair magnet
#

well the only way to do that is by tampering with stuff you shouldnt

strange wagon
#

that literally means bye to 90% of the community if they do that

south cedar
#

i do my own felixes as well.

winged quartz
#

Under 65k, you won't create multiple meshes

alpine cove
#

i imagine if anything they'd just warn you

idle mica
#

They would have no one left lol

tidal aspen
#

they say something like that every update

fair magnet
#

unless you mean disabled parts as well

winged quartz
#

it makes no sense to be limited to 20k

tidal aspen
#

way too much fear mongering happens each patch

median basalt
#

It's technically not against TOS so they shouldn't ban you for it, but that doesn't mean they won't ever do it.

fair magnet
#

cause then my poly count is way higher

strange wagon
#

yea 65k is the most reasonable limit

alpine cove
#

custom felix Kreygasm

hasty wedge
#

limited to 20k would cause the worlds biggest backlash

median basalt
#

I think the admins are well aware that tris count has no bearing on performance.

strange wagon
#

i have a custom felix 👀

gusty adder
#

It would be neat if there could be colliders that interact with other players.
However, to prevent stuff like people blocking others from moving altogether, they'd be limited to a certain size and only interact with its respective matching mesh or material or object or whatever.
ie, if you want something on your model to be interacted with by others, you add a property that lets it be, for that specific part, and only that part can be interacted with by someone who has the matching 'interact-er' property on their model

vocal shard
#

Im just really upset... I hope it changes. So ill write a serious note. VRchat is literally the reason I got a VR it is the only game i've ever played and really been wow'd due to emersion. I thought wow finally a game that people can be themselves and create what they want to create... animators can show off their hard work and be recognized and wow the people. I was so inspired by this game that while on desktop I thought to myself I have to get a VR. VRchat is so good because its not just a game its peoples ideas coming to life...I just really hope this update is reverted or something for the animation community happens meanwhile...I will not be on VRchat anymore until something happens with this update...sadly :/ have fun everyone ❤ goodbye

alpine cove
#

bury me in custom felixes

strange wagon
#

i am actually making a second one

alpine cove
#

i'll show you what's inside soldier 76's visor

strange wagon
#

a devil felix. i have a person that makes an angel felix instead

alpine cove
#

but be warned; it'll change you

median basalt
#

Instead of cracking down on people with 50k polys, instead focus on the guy with 20k polys, unoptimized dynamic bones, and 50 materials

indigo fern
#

inb4 it's traps

median basalt
#

I have honest to god seen models with 40 materials

winged quartz
#

true

median basalt
#

Atlasing that felt good

alpine cove
#

i wish it was traps

winged quartz
#

meshes are what lags people

median basalt
#

It's actually a combination of meshes and materials

mellow lava
#

whats wrong with the new update?

median basalt
#

But mostly materials

#

@mellow lava broke a bunch of particles retroactively.

ruby needle
#

there are models with 200+ materials cirLaugh

strange wagon
#

i optimize my models. cause everything just looks so shit in 20k for my taste.

ruby needle
#

thats the worst cirBaka

alpine cove
#

i need to re-optimize my soldier avatar

#

because i added some parts to it, but i did it in unity instead of blender

median basalt
#

Tbh I only atlas if I have more than 5 materials. I can't always be bothered.

strange wagon
#

someone had a 500k polygon shotgun on an avatar

dark narwhal
#

I need to re optimize my freetime

strange wagon
#

i didn't drop a single frame

#

lol

indigo fern
#

1 new material per poly, where my 19,999 materials at?

hasty wedge
mellow lava
#

I think the most materials I have on one model is... 15?

hasty wedge
#

still 20k tho

#

so optimized

winged quartz
#

too much people here, imma go back to lurking~

strange wagon
#

most of my models have 5-10

gusty adder
#

Wouldn't it be neat if people could interact with other models?
But to prevent people from like, blocking people from moving altogether, they'd be limited in size (so like, hand size for instance), and would have a matching part.
So for example, an 'interact-er' and 'interacted with'. If you have something you're okay with others interacting with, then you put the 'interacted with' property on that part of your model.
If you want to interact with others, you put the 'interact-er' on your hands or whatever, and they could only interact with parts that have the 'interacted with' property.

@vocal shard this update, IMO, it's meant to take down particles that crashes everyone in room-scale. That should stop and they made it right, it's the best they could do RIGHT NOW. They said it WILL change based on feedback, so now instead of using #vrchat-general-2 to give your feedback e-mail them so they can understand your concerns and help you and every other player around.

mellow lava
#

granted, combine same materials does nothing since they're all different, so

inner cape
#

Woah woah WOAH

#

Slow the frick down

strange wagon
#

so uh. does someone know if the 20k limit is still present in the new sdk

ruby needle
#

ofc

vocal shard
#

@south cedar thanks for the info ill go do that.

indigo fern
#

ye, of course

gusty adder
#

Why wouldn't it be?

strange wagon
#

👀

ruby needle
#

if the limit changes you will definitely find it in the update notes

alpine cove
#

20k polys specifically for felix's bulge

hasty wedge
#

wew

strange wagon
#

if i decimate felix to 20k it looks so bad

dark narwhal
#

Do we still have to login to our accounts or can i play as u guys now

mellow lava
#

I need 80k more polygons for reasons

hasty wedge
#

🅱anned

south cedar
#

@vocal shard no problem my friend, we all look forward for a better game and community for everyone, i also LOVED this game to it's core, and i will keep my support and try to do my best for it.

median basalt
#

Tbh the limit should be 60k. Instead, give us material limits.

strange wagon
#

65*

winged quartz
#

why a high poly bulge when you have normal maps--

ruby needle
#

then you need to get better at it @strange wagon

gusty adder
#

65K breaks stuff like visemes anyways

lone fable
#

banjo kazooie had less than 20k :<

if I remember correctly
