Yes
Ok, thanks xwx just worried about uploading a from-scratch avatar
I know your feeling
I use a different model in crowded and prone to stealing public worlds
Its kinda going without windows defender compared to with windows defender as virus protection
You can still get hit but its a lot harder
I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been fixed yet. Has there been any word from the mods or devs about something happening that i may have missed?
Oh and by steal, I'm assuming you mean downloading it?
Yeah
It's impossible to fully protect against ripping
Because they can still just change into it in game
Tbh it will never be 100%
Wait
The thing that can and has to be fixed ia the ID based steal
So even with Cats, they can just swap into it?
Yeah
Yes
...
you can't stop that
Welp, guess i'm not uploading the avatar ^w^;
as long as you know an avatar id, you can change into it
The ID steal doesn't give them the model files tho
Swapping into it is not as bad as downloading it. Because they only have it temporarily
I really wish that the dev would at least speak about the problem...
And most of the time they won't stay as your avatar
I mean convex even if they tried to fix it, someone will always find a way around it
They'll probably find someone else's to steal 5 mins later
They just do it to get your reaction. They are not interested in keeping it
An attempt would be nice regardless xwx
The ID steal definitively needs to be addressed
They have made clear how to report those users if someone joins and asks for it đ€·
I use the same model no matter what lobby I am in, yes itâs a (complete original) but Iâm not worried about it tbh
Worrying about my model literally in my opinion would ruin the game for me
Just take it as a compliment if someone steals your work
For mmds or similar maybe. But for originals it is not that easy
Every update there are security improvements in the patch notes. So they are doing something
"Aaa what nice an cunt that nicks every avatar that looks ok stole mine"
No need to be rude
I suggest u just donât use the model in public lobbies, best thing u can do
Its a dumb statement imo so i just made clear why in a really sarcastic way 
Being happy someone stole your things does not make anything better at all
Also-- I never said that at all
Getting mad does nothing either
Well that's what I am saying
I haven't had my avatar stolen, i'm just worried it might be
and i think at least some effort to stop people from doing it in general would be nice
You never know if someone extrated it
So far i have seen people throwing up those annoying visuals that ruin your vision and or crash you are a bigger problem then avatar stealing
Atleast i find those people more then avatar thiefs
I feel like the public/private tag doesn't do much atm
It's for pedestrals
Private should restrict it to your user only
Its honestly how i expected it to work when i read the patch notes
It still wouldnât stop someone from taking the model
Dont let an user with the wrong ID send a request for the server to give you that avatar ID?
Exactly
Technically u could still use 3rd party programs to just rip the model from the game. U would most likely only get the mesh or something but still they would have your model
Yes it would probably waste a lot of space on their storage device but there is always a way
That's the worse steal tho
Still prevents people from just clicking a couple times and changing into your avatar
Especially for original characters that get spread on download sites
The point I was trying to make, there will always be a way around the security, no matter how they attempt to fix it. Best thing to do is to stick to private worlds and hope none of your friends r scrumbags
Well with the model specifically
I worry about model security to but t the same time I believe that worrying about it to much would ruin vrc for me
Hey
I'm getting uh
"Unity package upload failed. Failed to optimize file for Upload"
Dunno if this is the right channel for that
Got the right unity version?
5.6.3p1
That should be the right one 
Yeah, no idea what's wrong.
It's literally just a plane.
Like, a flat surface with some letters on it.
Maybe just try later?
Try turn future proofing off
Have anyone here check out the refuge map yet
You can always unchek the "optimize" button, but it sounds like there's a bigger problem that you should fix lol
Does it have to be fbx? I maaay have accidentally used an obj this time lol
An obj is just a mesh without Armature
I've been out for 2 month, just came back and found out that I am not allowed to publish avatars.
Help me plz :.(

Go to the google form in the #moderation-reports channel.
Avatar ID steal idea : Add a check box in the SDK like "I'll be the only one using this avatar", use that flag as an index to check how many occurences of that said id happen to be in use, if more than one instance, then flag the offender for review, send an email to the owner asking him to reupload the Avatar to change the ID. Done no more drama. Won't stop cache rip technics though, but people having the knowledge to do so is way way lower.
Any security they add would have to be done at the server level, since you can literally just open up the SDK in a text editor and edit the code.
Tidus the only input from the SDK is an indexable checkbox
everything have to be done on the server itself (scanning part i mean)
lol yeah, you're right. Its too early in the morning for me, okay? :p
that's fine ;)
^
i'm lazy today =P, but be my guest, take it as your own and submit it if you want
you have my authorization =)
Still dont enjoy doing it
it's in the public domain now, so whoever want to, can, but i'm sure they are reading ;)
just made a canny post. I made sure to credit you Kane
no need for the credit ;) you did it. That's cool though ;)

ive uploaded avatars before
this is the first time this happened
and im on my vrchat account
ok i fixed it
the avatar's lip sync is a wip.
hm
So uh, hey. I am still messing with my first MMD avatar. Am referring to Tupper's tutorial, and am currently trying to manually atlas the textures. Should I ask my questions here?
đđ
How much oculus sensors should i have?
depends on your room
2 sensors can work for 360 if placed right
3 are the recommendet setup tho
4 if you use a big placespace
should i have like 1 sensor in front of me and other behind me?
sensors must be connected to pc all the time right?
ofc
how long is the wire
they work on USB 2.0 tho
so you can use a long 2.0 extension
a 3.0 extension would be better tho
but i personally have no bad experiences from 2.0 only
USB 3.0 for the sensors though otherwise it switch to jpg mode, less accurate
not from my experiences
it is
it works just fine wiht a 2 sensor 360 setup
and i have both of them on 2.0
and i cover a rather long distance per sensor.
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
it works but it's not optimal, as i said. Better keep the usb2 for the headset itself
let's say. try it if tracking is to bad get a thrid sensor and be done
getting a propper 3.0 extension is like 1/3 of a new sensor allready đ
i said less accurate ;), not bad. Jpg is compressed so, more artifacts possible
from a technically side it is worse yes
yes
but form the result it can be just as fine
Doc did some tests, there is a notable difference, now you may not catch it
what kind of tests 
tracking is very VERY room and setup dependant
from the positions to lighting
Kind that are relevant, scientific one, check Doc_ok
but if you're fine with it no problem of course
still hope i can afford a thrid sensor in the next months to cover some death spots i still have
with only 2 sensors you ofc only get one ensor tracking when your back is facing the other one
but generally it works pretty well 
yes it's way better, you can in that case use 2xUSB3 and 1xUSB2
nope
not long enogh 3.0 cables / extensions
but the thrid can be 3.0
thats one big issue with 3.0
distance
a good USB3 PCIE card could do the job unless it's a laptop
nah
i can live with tracking of 2 sensors on 360, and the third alone will add a lot more precision
and if thats even 3.0 it is more then fine đ
sure as long as it work for you, the bigger the space, the higher the problems tend to appear (jpg quality wise)
yeah for really big spaces it might be way more torubleing
if you have some jumping controllers it could be a sign (tracking errors)
Okay so, Vrchat keeps wanting to crash on me no matter what, I don't move or do anything and I still crash, it doesn't close the game but it brings up a spinning vrchat logo, says 'loading' and then says "Logging in username...", Sometimes even doesn't respond, So I'm trying to see how I can get this shit fixed, I've tried EVERYTHING under the sun, clearing cache, restarting computer, and for some reason it even glitches out my wifi sometimes, so I don't know
(I'm on desktop btw)
only cleared the cache, it couldn't been anything else possibly because it started happening ever since I joined a specific world
it can
follow the instructions under #vrchat-support
the command there will clear all, cache, temp and registry
great, watch out for the crash guns again people, had one black out my windows untill i relogged to my pc
forced my pc to 100% usage, this could potentially damaged my cpu left unchecked
yea right thanks for your deep computer insight
oof
@ruby needle here : 2 commands you may submit a .bat, but work as it is (clean the cache) and option can be added to clean files older than X days
forfiles -p "%AppData%..\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat\VRCHTTPCache" -s -m * /C "cmd /c del @path"
forfiles -p "%AppData%..\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat\HTTPCache" -s -m * /C "cmd /c del @path"
unlucky
clearly your insight is so much better @vague slate
wtf i literally just got unbanned like a week ago
haha indeed i do you downsyndrome bullshit talker
@thorny totem i actuall have a bat http://dj-fpaul.de/vrc_clear.bat
sounds like you didnt stop doing what you did before
but i try to stick to the official reference first
what a great addition to the community lmao
ok i see
but if someone is to stupid for it i will link it đ
ok ok ;)
Joltze might be worth emailing them to ask why 
hey, im new to vrchat and im trying to upload an avatar to vrchat and stuffs, but when i try to upload it, it says that 'i have to spend more time on vrchat' how long will it take until i can upload my avatar?
Being allowed to upload is based on reaching a certain trust score which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.

wow i literally have an email that says the date i got unbanned
now i get banned for that wtf
did you use a second account during your time?
When I used CubedParadox's Flat Lit Toon shader in Fade mode (so I can use partially transparent textures), it ends up entirely invisible. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
you might wanna ask in the avatars section
đ
thats the right channels for this kind of question 
no
why do u think i kept complaing when the kept extending my ban
and now it finally unbanned 5 days ago and now this wtf
Can we also get a #ComplainAboutYourBan channel
Streaming now.
ive emailed them but idk when theyll reply
Making an avatar from a CT scan of myself.
I tried posting on the vrsubreddit and I'm not having much luck. So, about ïŒ days ago, I can no longer use people's public avatars! I get a weird warning sign. But all my friends can use them just fine, and I used to be able too asăwell! What's going on?
hai
Well read what it says...
Make a public instance of that room and you should be able to get the avatars
Obviously, but why? It's random with what rooms I get this in
I did!
and all my friends can use them
Public instance as not friends+ and private and ect?
I'm not too sure what you mean, they're just people who i was talking to at the time who followed me into the room
but theyre not on my friends list
Then big odds it was a non public instance and they got the ability to upload avatars (so they can also select them from a private world
and the rooms are public rooms listed under avatar worlds
I double checked and it was listed as public
many people were telling me that until they went in with me and thought it was strange that only I can't use them
one person mentioned you have to have 50 hours in the game but I'm not so sure on that
The 50 hour thing is bullshit
this place for example doesnt work for me https://www.vrchat.net/launch?worldId=wrld_30fca9f2-6894-48c2-b447-8c404b4ef2f5&instanceId=1~public
Cant be assed to find the copy paste but there is no set limit for anyone to play
where as there were 15 other random people in the room using them just fine
thought so
Just need enough hours but we dont know what enough means as its diffrent for everyone

http://help.vrchat.com/knowledge_base/topics/why-cant-i-upload-avatars-or-worlds-yet
tho, we are talking about using a steam account
I have 40 hours in the game, im using a steam account, im not trying to upload
and those can't get verified
just use other peoples public avatars
which I was able to use just fine a few days ago
Yes this is new and didn't exist before, basically, if you can't upload your own avatars, you also can't use world avatars unless it's a PUBLIC (not private, not invite, not friends, not friends+, PUBLIC) instance.
once you have the ability to upload your own avatars, you can also grab world avatars from non-public worlds, too
People were just using private worlds to get around the "no custom avatars yet" restriction
The world is listed as public
Then that sounds like a bug
i gues this is to prevent uncertified acounts to pick crash avatars of a private avatar world with those avatars in them
Ah hm
but yeah, if its public, it should not behave like that 
thanks for the info
it is possible to have a private avatar pedistal in a public world, though
I don't know why people do that, but I've seen it
Oh. Hm, but the room used to work just fine for me 3-4 days ago
They could have updated it.
Feel free to add me an invite me, I'm a VRChat account, I just play via Steam
so can a steam account never be verified?
There might be some confusion
no Apidooda
EVERYONE plays via Steam
as far as i know not
Right, but I sign in via steam
but you can either log into the steam version via a steam account or a vrchat account
and yes if you use a steam accn't you can't get an avatar inventory or upload stuff
Aaah ok ok I
sorry bird walking on keyboard, I'll have to make a Vrchat account then
I don't know why they even give people the option to use steam accounts if they result in a gimped account
Best to swap to an VRC acc so you wont have problems with moving over friends
As you gotta do it manually
because convenience i gues Adeon
Im still for the idea to swap steam accounts name to guest accounts 
I know but I keep talking to people in hubs and they're all like "WAIT YOU CAN JUST CHANGE AVATARS TO W/E YOU WANT?"
How do you swap to a vrc account oclac? i thought you just make a new one and you have to re-add friends
oh ok. oclac mentioned not having problems moving over friends so i thought there was an easier way lol
You make an account
You stay logged into your steam one
Go onto the VRC website, log into there, search for all your added friends and send them a request
After all that is done you can log into your VRC acc
Well, the longer you play via steam the more works it is
i guess he means readding them and staying in contact wasn't as bad as feared 
It's actually better if all your friends, friend request your new account đ
^ yes
Its a pain to find some peeps you want to keep added though
I got like a guy i have not joined for 2 months by now but we both talk on discord at random times
So we dont want to remove eachother
one thing you might wanna do is create the account but stay on steam then
join them and tell em you will switch soon
and to add your new account

i'll do that thanks guys
VRChat doesn't include Oculus SDKs does it?
We strongly strongly strongly recommend that users create and use a VRChat account as soon as possible


ima be special because i dont have nitro
i dont have nitro aswell 
Wa
i'd never subscribe to that 
tho i am subbed to the twitch streamer these emotes belong to
and since im in his discord, i can use them globally on discord too
Same thing 
when i search in japanese i get no results :c for my friends
o wait nvm its just being slow
VRtrapo getting exposed soon đ
Its the joke đ
he's ugly
Does anyone have a photo of gestures for vrchat on the Vive, and perhaps even Oculus...

A photo of gestures?
Oculus is simple, just do the thing you wanna do with your real life hand
vive is a bit more complicated but yah hold on
there ya
Rocknroll aka everyone overrides it to be the bird
hi, anyone seen those super fancy animations that has like 10000+ particles rendered in gpu?
Hi! No I haven't, I block them too quickly
how do they do that... without scripts? or are they cheating and got scrips to work somehow
i mean seriously :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnII1SOe7Oo something like this isnt done with scripts?
or partially
its shaders
looks like shaders to me
compute shaders
Shaders are op as fuck
Same that a low poly thing can still look insanely detailed with the proper materials
shader code is an language, it's not TECHNICALLY scripting, but it is full on logical code.
ive been trying to find examples but all of them seem to have scripts one way or another đŠ
which use the CPU too
put it this way, i'm a scripter, but I'm afraid of shader code
i want to render a particle effect in GPU... the problem is that lets say you got a particle system with 20-30 particles
the moment you start rotating that particle system.. it lags stupidly
is shaders that scary :(?
compute shaders for this kind of stuff are
the shuriken system is extremely easiy in comparrison đ
if you want to get into shader coding but you don't wanna learn the language i highly recommend cheking out shader forge
it is quite easy to use and you can do a lot with it
and it's free now
once we update unity
i paid 40bucks for that fml
we can use the one in new unity
We'll all be old by then
anyways there are a lot good shader forge tutorials out there if someone has trouble with all the nodes
but it is really a powerful tool
you can also load existing shaders into it and see how they're build
which increases the learning curve a lot
then you need to figure out workarrounds
i for example had one shader which also used a script
and i got a workaround for it
took me a week but still
also i think shaderforge is still good, especially since it seems vrchat will be locked to a old version of unity
which makes me sad, because the latest version of unity DOES have a GPU option for particles
yeah
bah ill stick to my subpar particles for now
im pretty sure in a year or so we are able to use a decent unity version
at least i hope so^^
i can already hear the screams of people not knowing that wipes are also things that can happen in alphas and then screaming the hell out of it 
i don't think a wipe would be a big deal tbh
for worlds it would be not that great
there is no problem converting current worlds to a newer unity version
some worlds might have to make some small adjustments but overall it wouldn't be problem
i heard the opposite from the firwst update
flat lit toon shader saved 
Don't have to worry about appearing invisible to people any more! What a godsend.
<@&378256373701410817> Apologies to @ you here, but I have no idea where to ask. I don't get responses from any of the contact emails, not even automated ones. Any idea why?
y..you're living dangerously
If you've emailed, you need to wait.
Ok thank you.
I just thought I would ask, thats all FPaul, I just wasnt even getting the usual confirmations.
Hello I am here to murder.

haiii
hey
whats up
alright, quick question. i have a gtx 970 and can run altspaceVR fine at like 90 fps. but vrchat runs like shit. and looks alot worst. what the fuck
yea.
i have a gtx 1060 and it still runs at like 11 fps when i start the game sometimes lmao
and takes up 100 percent gpu
970 is almost 1060. with a slight overclock.
yeh~ it's the game!
It's the CPU stuff
VRC is horribly optimized in terms of CPU usage, GPU barely even matters anymore
let's hope they switch to gpu once they're out of alpha... or better yet, do that instead of making detrimental trust systems
They're not gonna fix performance issues, certainly not any time soon
At best, they will try and prevent it from becoming worse
Technically speaking VRChat uses more than one core, but mostly uses one.
A lot of the optimization issues can be solved by having optimized avatars. Being in a room with 30 people all wearing very optimized avatars will result in pretty dang good performance.
Not ALL the optimization issues, but a lot of them.
best have less people in world dont go over 60 people in room
60 is obscene even if everyone's at 1 draw call in generic avatars. 
I wonder how many polies you can have before optimization doesn't eliminate lag. so far, I've seen the bar go at 300,000
Yeah, but people aren't prevented from making unoptimized stuff, that's the problem.
Polygon count isn't really what you should focus on. Focus on reducing your material count via atlasing and keep your dynamic bone usage to a minimum (or don't use it at all)
It's not just the avatars either
Instead we get this stupid poly limit that doesn't matter, rather than a proper dynamic bone and material limit
yea to many Dynamic bone and mirrors kill fps
We're working on ways to solve the issues. It isn't as simple as "slap a limit on X", unfortunately.
It would certainly help
and general optimization, of course đ
Nobody needs 50 materials
And yet, that is what is allowed
But 21k polys is not
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
I might just try practicing optimizing on static objects. I'm going to be using a wild hunt ship sometime anyway
Regardless, we're more than aware of the problems with both standing systems and user's avatars. I can't tell you much more than "we're working on it" at the moment.
lord knows how many materials that has
It could have one if you atlas it 
gonna have to look that up unless it's a one button thing I can do in blender
cat plugin
got that
or watch tupper video on altas
Some guy made a video on YouTube on how to make good atlases for VRChat avatars 
manual
We need a better automatic atlasing tool tbh
Its hard. UVing isn't easy for a computer to do on its own.
The fact that CATS now combines materials by default is a good step
Smart UV Project is the best that exists and it isn't great.
Yeah, but what about something that tiles the textures and scales/moves the UV maps accordingly? I know that process should be automatable
Of course it's not without issues
But it would be pretty good for a bunch of cases
Has problems, could be automated.. but takes 10 minutes to do once you've got the process down
Yeah, atlasing is pretty easy once you've done it a few times
But not many people do it, because they're not forced or encouraged to do so at all
VRChat creation is like any other creative skill-- it takes practice to learn and do well
@median basalt back then if you want a model you had to do it manual with no easy tools
back then
I may need to learn how to do all optimizations because decimating a 60,000 poly witcher avatar to 20,000 does not look great at all
there was not many avatar worlds
Decimation is not an ideal tool. It isn't really meant for the usage we use it for
in a perfect world, people would model their own avatars with the 20k limit in mind, but even then there's problems. Normal maps and etc can help
besides, not everyone who plays vrchat knows how to model and most get avatars off the web
same with me and rigging (at least bahamut)
just take 3 to 7 month learn 3d modeling then get it down
hey uhh, what was the keys to switch to default avatar, current avatar is a little broken
Im adding a halo hunter
into vr chat
ive already got it as a dae
via miasamo
lez goooo đ
@indigo fern ctrl + / i believe
i'll try it, thanks
Despite the talk about limits not being the answer, the devs seem to cling rather hard to the 20k limit
@median basalt i agree the material should be limit first before raise the polygon
Does anyone know the name of the avatar world that has a super sayian blue evolution Vegeta cuz I canât find it and Iâve tried everything that I can possibly think of
Is there a way to scale Unity up to like 115 maybe 120%? The window size that is, because I am having a hard time reading some of the stuff
I'm new to Unity packages in general. As I understand it, some packages, like Dynamic bones, can't be distributed because they're something you buy. Cubed Paradox's shaders however, I got from a friend for free, so I'm not sure how one legitimately gets them, and I also don't know if they're OK to package and give to friends. Are they?
Cubed Shader a free asset.
Ok!
Thanks
Does anyone know where they originally come from? I see CubedParadox is an Team Member here, so I'd think they're official?
People often share paid assets too, it can't really be tracked and stopped.
yeah I just don't want to step on toes
I have no problem paying people for stuff
I just don't always know when I'm supposed to
I got them from the link in Tuppers avatar making guide. 
:3
I usually recommend the Beeple Hub. Got lots of great worlds inside that one
ok yea, this place has some cooooool worlds, too bad they empty
maybe i was kidding.
Re the conversation earlier on atlasing it doesnât really make sense to enforce having strictly one material since clothing and skin have vastly different properties and if you have a shader that accounts for them then youâll realize you actually need more than one material on a mesh. So Iâd expect somewhere in the rage of 3 to 5 materials necessary to make an avatar (at least one that resembles a human) look right. 3 being the bare minimum for skin hair and cloth
most people use the same shader for all
Well it goes beyond shader, one thing that canât simply be atlassed is a sphere texture for a material.
Which are coming to VRChat for certain, Iâve got my hands on a capable shader
Have the mods stopped trying to make sure the maps they approve are, well, anything?
We world hopped to a literal grey plane with a black skybox
Another world was a black box with nothing but a campfire in it
Even a white plane with a mirror and a single avatar is better than that 
And this isn't even taking into account the black box with the text "NOTHING" in it.
They're not breaking any rules, why should they be declined? World approval has never been about "Your world must be this cool to be public".
You used to see rejections due to "world is nothing but a plane and a mirror"
imo in your examples, a black skybox and campfire is much more effort put into rather than a default plane and mirror prefab.
The black skybox and a grey plane though.
What this means is, if that's the lowest bar, it does open up things 
Sounds like it's still changed, even if extremely little.
Ah, the map funposting you can do as long as you stay within the rules.
And yeah, if you don't like it then just don't visit. Let it fall into obscurity.
I wonder if I can import roblox games in when playmaker is available 
To me very low effort worlds like that are a non-issue.
But the script would have to be altered
Worlds can be weird in vrc đ
Sometimes people just prefer a box with a mirror
I'm actually pretty confused about avatar worlds
Like some avatars can have a gigantic music sphere and tons of effect
And even have audio that defies the sdk limit but it's allowed
Its cuz you can animate the range on the animation component
That is also bannable
Ok so I build the eye blinking thing onto my model in blender cat tools
But where do I put them in unity
this is the chat for general talk about vrchat related content
All the 3 main chats are where people talk
where is the main chat
where everyone talks
public lobby is the same but can go more offtopic and everyone can write
which is the most active
and random chat is the main offtopic chat
from all
mixxed
gona take a shower
i guess cya xd
20mins
Except at public you need to stay somewhat SFW, at general you also need to stay SFW but can ask for help for VR related stuff, while at random you can make NSFW innuendos but can't put NSFW things there, but are generally more free to cause chaos there
KK
All channels are to be kept SFW
random chat even specifically mentions it in the description
im so fucking pissed some guy in a lucio avatar used a crash emote on me and it crashed me and now it doesnt let me play vrchat it says my graphics card blocked vrchat
?
"it says my graphics card blocked vrchat" take a screenshot please
it says it is blocked from accessing graphics hardware
its a windows notification thing
so idk how to screen shot it
i can call you and share screens
just take a screenshot
i just said i didnt know how to take a screenshot
press the print key and paste the screenshot you just created inm your clipboard to paint then upload it to a image hoster like imgur or what not
where is the print key?
it... is labled like that 
might be shorter like Prt Sc or something
basically "Print Screen"
i did print screen my screen flashed and nothing popped up

?
hi
do you know how to fix it fpaul?
oh
interesting tho. you're not lying 
yeah
ive not done
thats the number one thing to do đ
the block might have been a thing to prevent graphics driver crashing
no idea about how windows 10 works in that regard
Hello how long will it take until I can upload Avatars with Unity?
Being allowed to upload is based on reaching a certain trust score which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.
You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner, walking around, meeting people and also makeing some friends. Idling wont help.
According to many responses in this discord the typical time it takes seems to be between 20-40 hours but big exceptions are possible.
Make sure you are not logged in to your steam account by accident and play the game until you get a notification or e-mail.

thats nothing đ
if you have school donjt you have a full afternoon for playing? 
sorry that I like to play other Games xD
đź
screw homework
homework is a joke đ
I know xD
im not wasting my freetime with school when i got to school for that
but still I want a good grade
Homework does almost nothing to your general success, and no one asks if you have done homework to accept you into their schools...
the issue is teachers giving bad notes for it
They act like it matters
Even though they do nothing about it unless it's pointed out
what
when homework is checked and you dont have it and the teacher gives you a bad note for not having done it then that is bad and matters
yep
I did most of my homework, except when for some times when I was sick, or wasn't focused enough to do em
But I don't count those because I called in sick, they forgot I was a student in that class, or I just said that I'll do them as extras
And so, to me homework seems pointless
pointless (for some) but doing them still matters
even if you didnt have bad influence from the checks getting bad notes is possible and likely for others if you refuse to do them regularely.
I did them often enough
But again, not all of em
Maybe like 38% of homework that I was given I didn't do
hey in the patch notes it states "Many safety and security fixes have been implemented" does this mean no more avatar stealing or what
Hi I've sometimes streamers have something like a twitch window around their arm for quick access. Which app would that be?
there is multiple ways, the first would be OpenVRDesktopDisplay Portal or OVRDrop
Ah "Open VR Desktop Display Portal" found it thanks đ
the sencond would be OpenVRTwitchChat which is a bit like them but has the twithc thing integrated and doesnt need to run a window capture
if its just twitch i would recommend the second performance wise for vrchat
OVRDDP does unfortunaly only run on CPU (while OVP Drop does have GPU capabilities on W10)
would be for discord, but hm I want every performance I can get
if its for discord then you only have OVDDP or OVRDrop
OVR drop is the "newer version"
but costs money
Is it the same developer?

hello
Howdy!
sup?
just trying to rig a character
Just waiting for the day @vocal shard streams vrchat 
thats going to happen?!
Yea but first he needs all the infinity bans
cool i guess
he already got 1 week and 1 MONTH whats next?!
OVRDRop is nice very and fully featured, i just wish you could could bind displays to arm bones but those are special to VRChat not OpenVR
So hands only
I just offset mine to sort of look like theyâre coming from my arm instead
There I go responding to a very old message and then seeing all the chat scroll to current
Lag?
Thankyou Admins for unbanning me
No just stupidity
HE LEFT đ
So I once changed my height And got logged out in a sequence that looks identical to how it looks when someone gets banned from VR chat on Twitch
Scared the crap out of me
Wat?
No they donât I just know it getting banned looks like
You suddenly go to a loading screen and then the login screen
well usually a ban looks like "you were banned for (period of time)
cause: (cause here)"
lol that's a softlock
Thatâs when you try to login
The random logouts happen sometimes when you lose connection
You suddenly get greeted with the logging in screen while in an instance for example
yes
You use VR chat with dialup
the game stops and your viewpoint is reset and the vrchat loading icon show up
i dont have wifi
will get some soon
I mean Wi-Fi wonât make you not have Dailup
don't ask how I stream stuff because I don't 
It will just make your dialup wireless
no
I'll stop using it
and not pay subscriptions anymore
so the company will stop my service
dailup internet in 2k18 
I'll just swap to WiFi subscriptions
third world
we don't exactly have vrs here too
It was more of a joke anywa
Eh- i have often that i write something and remove it

let's hope the computer mall has a 1050ti
i dont know any other graphics card
except for the 1060
but that can never exist
Wat
I don't recommend a 1050ti for vr, not a good experience
ghoost â€ïž
well is the 1060 worth shipping
whaddup pizza girl
they say there is a major performance boost
Well depends how much you pay more
I'm hating the internet rn cause I can't find any good sound effects for my weapon
look on soundbible
if you can find a chicken noise, I recommend that
my sources tell me that's the only way to go
good thing is that they put the copyright usages with each sound so you know what you use
helps to dodge a potential lawsuit
That's the thing, I can't find even videos
ghoost you're right that was a bad suggestion. definitely gotta be a turkey call
Also ghost when ya streaming again
what kind of weapon is it?
Sniper
Looking for some kind of futuristic sound
future turkey
Dont ignore me 
Idk Oclac
or just use a general beam sound from the contra laser general's second tier defense unit
I really couldn't handle the daily regime
it sounds futuristic to me
Gonna feel odd with you not hella active
:<
Hold up
I know what to do
One of my favourite animes has dope sound effects
Gotta rewatch it now
Cause no one ripped it

which anime?
What is the name again from the VRC component ya need to add to avatars 
avatar descriptor?
yes
Arpeggio of Blue Steel
Why has my avatar added more poligons on his own 
Most of my favourite animes are really unpopular so getting art and sound effects is tough cause no one makes it
try using remove doubles in blender
Could just possibly rewatch the last episode as it has that massive mech with a ton of stuff happening
Eh i just removed the shoe laces
As they are 99% under my pants anyway
But its first time for me to eat--
Only ate a single bread piece this morning and nothing else while its already 7 pm
oof
go eat pls
nutrition is a huge factor in being awake in vrchat and not making noises and slumping half dead till your controllers run out of charge and you disconnect
Why do characters have to talk during one of the most epic chare up scenes 
Well rin i had to burry my dog today so that might explain why i ate even worse then normal today
my condolences oclac
Just use Lanis Space duck sound, that always does the job
Or just use a barrage of NĂź
So, is there any way to deal with the client crashers? I seem to be running into them constantly now. Is the only solution really turning off all avatars and muting everyone? Sorta kills the fun.
Could try reporting them if you can catch their name
If they catch them, maybe an ip ban can be issued
If you crash do not reboot the game
First get the loggs and email them towards moderation@vrchat.com so they can find the user and ban them
@umbral reef thanks for the tip, I didnât even know you could do that upon crashing
Def gonna start reporting
Someone else will prob explain how to get the loggs and ect in a second
I cant recall and am today not willingly to look it up again
!outputlog
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt
If you get crashed again use this link...
And do not relogin after a crash because your output log will get reset
@modern kernel As in, the scale/size?
Has anyone had issues with the SDK recognizing their play time when logging in through steam to play?
I'm close to 100h and still getting this https://gyazo.com/987790581ce32a044f9da15d68d431f9
steam cant get verified
your vrchat account counts
and on that time is also not the factor

Thanks for the info
I hope they integrate steam api in the future for the hours
actually steam is more supposed to be a guest account
Thanks for sharing
Hi new to the VR world just got my HP MR set. And started playing VRchat. im having issues with lag and being cutoff everysecond.
does anyone know if it is possible to download models from lolking.net?
Negative.
are there any other sites i can get league models from?
Question! What does "Please add a scene descriptor or avatar descriptor to your project." mean exactly?
I'm a complete unity noob
i really dont know how much more descriptive that error message could be 


!online
There are 6300 users in VRChat currently
hax, server issues or internet connection
instable connection is a common cause
Yes
But people can kick you from a server now
but kick's should come with a message 
when i get kicked i dont see them while voting is still
Nope
active
They can kick you back home with no alert
but the same happened to my buddy aswell
It's a new hack I guess
Also
Deactivate ipv6
My internet connection sometimes just die because of it
you shouldn't deactiavte it completely
it will cause issues on other ends
ipv6 is the new standart that is getting more and more implemented
i had something on my vrchat that i wasn't supposed to
there was a muted mic icon, a grey circle with LIVE next to it and 2 symbols of added or number of friends on
at the top right of my screen
Probably just some guy with a shader
We get that like every 5 minutes in this chat lol
but i went back to my home and it was still there
but after restart game it was gone and went to the same world i noticed it
Maybe it's a hack or something, people with modded clients can do a lot of bad stuff
Um
There's a video I just got sent
Of a hacker
What is this
It kicks the people he shoots
I just got it today
hacks but doesn't know how to crack bandicam đ
Ikr
has blocked avatars by default
Lmao he has a potato pc
And hes also in desktop
OMG
The state of hackers
About the video : another one that will come around saying " I don't understand, i see banned, then banned for 4 years, i've done nothing". Anyways, as i said already if the server logs are verbose enough about the kind of disconnect these users suffer, a simple algo could help to reveal and put an evident flag over the hacker "script kiddies" heads. IF X is always present when A B C...+n crash for Z reason in V amount of time, with enought itteration could pinpoint the guy. Basic, not heavy to put in place at all
^^^^^^^^^^ this
there should be a script kiddie detection algorithm, like the trust system they implemented
they already can tell when you actually interact with others, so why should it be hard to know if one is the perpetrator of a client exploit or a script damaging other users?
because these exploit a specific flaw, not easy to see if at all from a server perspective
they can check for a modified client, or scan the memory, lock the SDK but not much at all
seriously tho, something that would actually fix this is a hardcoded signature inside the client's exploitable areas that is deleted upon the user's alteration of the client's data, and that signature is verified with login, start-up and/or update. if the verifaction fails it registers it as a modded client and shuts down.
wouldn't prevent them from hacking, but they won't be able to log on which will reduce hacker count
they know when a client is modified already
so why don't they block modded clients?
or they do but ip addresses are changed often?
they do but not immediatly i suppose
well, another option is to ban steam accounts or turn them into guest accounts with extremely limited access
most script kiddies are steam accounts from my experience
they just modify the steam edition and run amuck till they're banned, then laugh about how they "triggered those normies"
steam or not, IP seems to be the target for now, HWID someday maybe
maybe they should use their copyrights
to get the sites for downloading modded clients shut down
it is a violation
but they should be clever than that, not banning at all, just screwing with them could be a better lesson, something like your account is locked to : Basic avatar and no sound for X months, Inverted Vrchat (screen upside down) for X months, VRchat "disconnect edition" sending them home every 3 minutes, you name it, bully the bullies for some time.
or
they could give them my vrchat experience
like this
extreme lag, broken skyboxes, 30 of rooms inaccessible because of serious errors, screenshot taking causes client to stop responding, everything is blaring colors like you're using a battered HP WMR headset, tracking loses its shit every 2 seconds, and controller softlock till they reboot their pc and entire gear
oh and 16 youtube-downloader-dl processes breaking the back out of their CPU
and a generic room takes 3 hours to load and everything loads in decimals (if you're lucky)
i3 with integrated graphics
laptop
i want to get a pc soon
it barely does
i dont have one
i use Google cardboard
sometimes
other times I'm in desktop mode
The tracking errors are on your side, HP is known for this kind of issues. Seems that you have a low end hardware, but i get it, it could kill your experience
I'm just saying they could do this to hackers
theyd abandon the heck out of the game
nah not to much, just enough to make a point
i just play it because I've met this super nice guy who uses the same character as mine and we're good pals
it could be more productive than a ban at the end, but you know
never touched an actual vr in my life except for Google cardboard so idk
true Akumo
k
tfw
you have cash to afford an oculus and upgrade to a vive
I'm legit selling land to get a pc build
a vive pro?
heard it had sound issues
idk
saw it on r/vive so
oh
yeah
good choice then
