Not directly at least
The only way you could would be making a avatar world, but due to steam users beeing limited you would need to make the world public to change into those avatars from your vrchat account when visiting the map
But why would you want to use both accounts anyway?
I have a friend on Steam that I'd like to visit in the game and I figured it'd be easier to connect to them if I was logged in with my Steam account.
It's probably best to stick to your vrchat account and just add all your friends again
Since steam account cant really upload content themeselves
Oh, fair enough then. Thanks again.
Of course
and VRChat users still use Steam
There I go commenting on chat that's since scrolled
@frank pawn if they have a VRChat account they can switch into their avatar there then if they log out and into steam they will retain their avatar
This may have changed though
Yes it's most certainly changed
Steam accounts can't have custom avatars except though use of avatar pedistals
Yep
they can still favorite up to 3 pedistals though
But can't have their own inventory, need to make a VRChat account for that
They should just call them Guest accounts really it's what they are more or less
Honestly when I started, I was like "Why can't you upload avatars to a Steam account?"
When I got my VRC account I realized instantly.
Which was probably around a month after playing on my Steam acc
It'd get too chaotic, plus how would the system even associate uploaded content with a Steam account that can constantly change?
would be less confusing
Stuff like that
"Please Log in"
[Create VRChat Account]
[Log in Existing VRChat Account]
[Log in via Steam Account (Guest)]
Yea but now they did away with in-client registration
oof really
yup
now more people will just log in with steam lol
You're required to go to the website now.
isn't it easier to make bot accounts with a website anyway?
They only took out the ability to create an account in-game
I mean, i'm just saying i doubt that's the reason
Again, they had the ability to register on the website for a long time
So really botting accounts, if anyone even did that, is nothing new.
Do they allow you to transfer a steam account into a VRChat account? (keep your rank, friends list etc)
Nope
Eventually
Yet is the magic word, that's all that matters lol
Plus what's the use for making accounts with bots anyway? You can't upload content on a fresh account anyway
Gotta get the trust up
There's some other things trust seems to do as well, somewhere along the lines, after User but before Known, where you can finally use public avatar pedistals in private worlds
Also can I mention that since the update with the Trust system, I've never heard someone (other than myself) make a joke about "system_trust_legend"?
idontgetit.png
I do
What kind of joke would that be? @umbral nova
I mean like
Okay so I'll use my friend Stokyll as an example
He makes some avatars many, and I mean MANY people would say is disruptive and such
For the sake of memes
One day me, him, and Pammemath were all in an Open Mic Night
He was using one of his meme avatars and Pam said "This is a Trusted User of VRChat."
I followed up saying "System_trust_legend even."
Bc he was Veteran rank during the Beta
RDR2 took 2 hours to install, I could've downloaded it in about 45 minutes. physical media is a meme 
yuH
it 100gb lol
ya srs?
yes, and i have gigabit down 😛
and it isn't a 100gb download, its compressed when d/ling, only about 60-80 iirc
Pack it all in
3gb of horse testicle animations
Funny how many different games have their own way of compressing their files to actually still be usable, and not lose any of its original quality.
there's a ton of lossless options
Yea but the fact that sometimes they create their own file formats to use.
Nintendo does it a LOT
they all use the same 3-4 compression methods though
Yea probably
it's usually just different headers
yeah nintendo's file formats have always been weird
I downloaded Batman Arkham knight over the corse of two days. Non Bay Area/LA California internet needs to catch up to the rest of the USA
Though I think it was 7 hours over the course of two days. Still:/
<@&378256373701410817> Hey I was wondering who I could contact to find out why my avatar I submitted wasn't in the event hub?
is anyone else having problems uploading avatars
oof
are there restrictions to who you advertise for streaming? wouldn't mind advertising my friend while she streams vrchat D:
how dare they censor the Scum
but but there is one I think
you decide the true name
I think its the true message of "Portago"showing my support of Charles Tago for PM
RDR2 is 92.742gb download from ps4 store
@modern sand wasn't exactly sure where to mention you to chat you, but do you mind adding me and messaging me?
Regarding what ?
A user dispute, inquiring about a few things
Official Support and Game related Moderation isn't done trough discord neither here nor DM's.
So you'd want to send a mail for that.
Depending on what exactly it's about you have either Support@VRChat.com or Moderation@VRChat.com
Yeah, but I wanted to ask some questions about validity of evidence.
A friend suggested I try and get ahold of Ruuubick to ask about it, which is why I'm here now
Can only repeat if you got official support or moderation related questions then mail is the way to go.
If it nothing personal and a general question you can ask open then you can ask the community here.
It's slightly personal, I'd rather it not be in a public space, and I figured it'd be simple enough to answer in DMs. That's okay if you don't want to answer directly, was just hoping for a more immediate response to help with plans
Understandable 
times like this i often wonder if there should be an invite only consultation area
so the mod/admin can just drag you into that room
I mean, sometimes they do let people DM them, its not often, but it does happen 🤷
@livid gull it's not that there is no places to do it but that it's not the way they handle it.
The emails are likely tracked internally with a ticketing system.
Now if you'd diskuss in DM's about something and then write a mail with "Just as we talked about on discord here..." you dont have the references 
Like I said.. I had some rather specific questions about validity of evidence, that I don't want in a public forum where they might see me asking about it
hmm
They are threatening to false report me for stealing an avatar they gifted me, and they are extremely malicious and manipulative. I'm going to delete the avatar they're threatening me over, but that's all I'm really willing to say here.
You would definitely want to send a mail explaining your sittuation beforehand including the prove you have.
If its suitable or not can then be decided still.
argue not going help ether best just email problem dont try dodge ban it make it worse
It's also very difficult for me with my slow internet to record and upload video evidence, and I suppose I was looking for a way to expedite the process of gathering info on this matter.. I don't typically do reports and try to avoid malicious users but I got a little too acquainted with someone.
I have 1mbps upload speeds.
I'm not.
They're threatening to false report me, I have screen shotted the chat log as well
There is no need to go into more detail here.
You definitely want to send a mail, explain your sittuation and include all prove you got, it might take a bit to upload but so be it.
You can try to compress it before upload to save some time.
I'm not particularly worried, I know I won't get banned from a false report, but yeah I was just wondering about if a friend can record and upload for me, or if it's possible if I have a mod in my friends list in game to come and see the user in question
you can use your friend video
if your there
best just block this user there not really a friend
@iron lotus it does not really matter if you where the recorder or a person next to you as long as you are visible and the other persons.
@raven silo yeah they're not anymore but they're a malicious user and will continue doing this unless reported
yea best report email on them most case they ignore half them false one
report false info can get person in more trouble
they wont be trusted
so this sketchfab vrchat contest is looking pretty sick
still trying to come up with an interesting concept for it but i was wondering if sketchfab picked up on vrchat or if vrchat went and collaborated with sketchfab themselves on this.
super cool to see them doing this though.
I like that their rewards are actually way better than VRChat's gift cards.
@north axle last year was vive
Yep. Last year I thought it might have been a bit too much, but I liked it anyway. This year though, it's just a bunch of coupons.
Hey, crazy question here
Uh, is there a world that exists where you can pose your avatar and take a picture of them? I dont have VR (Amazing right?) but I would love to take pics of my avatar in different poses.
mirror world? lol
Okay, I'll try it. Thank you!
Heeelp :C Everytime i try to log in in VRChat (i have to put pass and username cuz' i changed it) it Says "Couldn't log in: "Unauthorized"
so thinking about VRchat has been getting alot of assholes who try to steal ur hard work crash ur game and just ruin things with exploit right?
Any parties going on right now? Like Club Rogue?
how do i subtract player velocity from my add velocity function?
i want it so when i press space, my character gets pushed up a certain amount, not the upwards velocity being added to the current velocity
You should probably ask those questions in #avatars-2-general or #development-advanced
my bad
This channel is more for general discussions
right
No worries, but you might not get any answer here
yeah
is it possible to invite friends in not just private but in testing world as well?
@elfin cloak by testing do you mean non-uploaded? As in testing mode in Unity?
If so, then no you cannot invite anyone, it has to be uploaded to be accessible.
@forest gyro iris ai photostudio is great. Didn't see anyone mention it yet but it's fun with body pillow scanners, custom backgrounds and its own posable avatars to take a photo with. I know it won't let you pose your avatar exactly the way you want.
Anyone wanna play?!
Okay... So I have a problem. Whenever I try to login to VRChat, it says that my connection has timed out. I was still connected to the Internet at that time.
Anyone else had the problem?
hmm i used vpn
we both in the same country I think
i just used vpn and is worknig now
Just upload a poorly optimized avatar
I've seen avatars drop me to 1fps even with all shaders disabled
This is why #avatars-2-general optimization is worth spending some time on :p
VPN... I never tried it before, though I wouldn't want to do so.
Strange... It was okay during my time in Japan, but when I got back to the Philippines, that error happened
You can make your own using digital ocean or aws or cheaper cloud providers. Lag can be caused by routing issues and using a vpn can make things faster in that case
Philippines is one of many countries with filters that can cause trouble for real time online services
Not to mention the inferior network infrastructure compared to many other countries in Asia.
Though, it could be my Metro 2033 game downloading in the background... I should retry VRChat when it finishes, see if that was the problem.
Oof...
Downloads can cause really bad lag due to "buffer bloat"
You can use traffic shaping software ("tc" on linux) to put in some limit slightly below your actual bandwidth, so you do the buffering and not the shitty isp. That can make games work better while a download is in progress
Isps can buffer more than a second worth of download and that will contribute to lag and even cause timeouts at the benefit of slightly higher download bandwidth and especially gaming bandwidth testers
So i went to download vrchat on a new computer from my viveport and uh some bootleg came up before vrchat itself
Does anyone know about this?
I didn't know vrchat was on viveport. I thought people use steam
it wouldnt pop up on steam while i was using the headset for some bizarre reason
but like this game came out like the 11th of this month and is a complete flip of vrchat
I don't mean similar. I mean it IS vrchat.
does anyone know where i can find a nanachi base? (No pants, just a default nanachi)
I can only find them with clothes on
People have been giving them around through VRChat, but the original MMD creator dun like that
They took the model down off the site
I'm sure if you see someone around with it they'll tell you though
Or give it to you outright
damn that sucks, i dont really go into public worlds a lot because of the amount of crashes and lag ive experienced. I'll see if anyone has it around discord
i dont understand how to get trusted i have over 600 hours in the game i have created over 10 characters and i have 1 world of my own and idk how many friends i have but i dont get blocked often and usually they are rude people blocking me for no reason im mostly quite i dont have music avatars all of em are wholesome i have a flying and lighting avatar that is from a public world but im still only known
where is the checklist to becoming trusted
in a months play
i have only been playing for a month i no life this game
all im ever doing is working on avatars
alt tabbed allot
From what I have heard the AI for the trust rank takes into account how often you interact, who with, how those people react to your interactions, your friends and how they rank, and if you have popular worlds
I wouldn't recommend battling the AI over rank, everyone is the highest rank when you add them anyway
well see thats going to be hard for me then im neutral i dont usually talk unless spoken too or im very exited or i have a subject to talk about or im hanging out with my friends in front the mirror im bit of a mute because i have a social disability and don't like to talk
Only way you dont rank up is either:
- getting avatar hidden by others
- Muted by several people
- Vote kicked or kicked by world owners
- Blocked by alot of people
being a mute wont affect you but makes it hard to make friends
if you have vr and the finger pen thingy, you should be fine 😉
well i only got vote kick from presentation room for pressing the red botton because i was annoyed when i was drawing people kept hitting it before i said fine if i cant draw no one can draw
and yeah people ass holes soo...
if someone keeps pressing the button, best is to send a vote kick out
there are people who do it to annoy others or one of the press button kiddies
and other time was in werewolves and he kicked me for no reason because i had the same avatar as the person i joined off and thought i was him
Kicked for having trusted rank
Are they paranoid much?
it is still a thing that happens countless times
i know alot people have clients to get trusted so i dont trust them iether but i wouldnt kick them for being trusted unless he mentions the word clap or crash
is there a way to dispute unfair kicks
what i have set up with new safety setup:
Visitor - Trusted User: Voice only
mine is prtty much the same but i do show avatars to only user and above
friends have everything anabled
i enable avatar on the user who is known not to cause problems

even if i dont like em
see i dont want to do that cause i have found people stay visible the next time you meet them at least for me they do
:"(
I normally leave avatars on from user-trusted but only shaders and such from known-trusted.
If i find an avatar annoying i just block their avatar.
who cares about ur rank its a social game lmfao
Yeah... I don't get people who would put rank as their priority.
competitve social game... now with ranks
Oof..
This is the ultimate question when it comes to games, "What's the point?"
I've been meaning to ask people why they play VRChat
In case of VRChat, let's say people no longer want to see it just as a social platform. It's not freaking 2000's anymore, and people don't just chat, they want more.
it's literally either memes, jiggle physics, or people working to retain it's social aspect
People often use tags you wouldn't have seen in VRChat a year ago because they never intended to tolerate certain stuff on this list.
i play it because i can make an avatar and use it in vr...
well yeah
it's a cool little thing that makes VRChat so unique and keeps people coming back
from what I've seen the SRK ranges from incredibly simple to being able to do almost anything with your character
the only qualm I have with it is the 24 hour trust system but like
its understandable
Sadly, we can't make everything.
oh totally: quadrapeds, amalgams and things like that are still hard, if not impossible
but I imagine that if this game continues to age, we might see more of that type of content be added to the SRK
I mean, the functionality of VRChat itself isn't nearly as good as many would think.
absolutely
personally, though, I've had an alright experience on a low spec computer
The only strongpoint is the number of user-made maps; the well-made ones
I really think VRChat is unique: maybe because it's free, maybe because theres so much customization, or maybe it's the versatility of the game, avatars, maps, emotes, etc
@trim summit I personally started due to the freedoms that come with creation, plus the skills and new hobby have come from it.
I'm not the best in terms of being social due to also being fairly introverted but i've met a ton of nice people via vrchat.
yuh
I guess that counts, too.
Still, I never heard of other VR-oriented platforms as well-known as VRChat
Maybe that's for good reason
I know some bigger content creators like Drumsy and Jameskii often try other VR games
but they never quite get as much traction as their VRChat vids
There are so many things you could possibly become, but, as I said, technically, VRChat is extremely limited in features. People want it to be not just a social platform, but as an actual playground allowing users to take part in games while traveling between different worlds, and, sadly, not even Udon will be capable of fixing that.
inter-character interaction is still painfully low but tbh it's a time
The only thing that compensates the lack of features is role-playing, but the more you're doing it, the more you start realizing you're just playing in a sandbox made of nothing but imagination.
sometimes that's enough
I just like the conversations you can get into.
To be, or not 2B?
yeah I had no idea I'd spend so long talking about VRChat at 4 am whoops
I did sleep!!!! but I woke up!!!!!
Okay...
I mean, thanks to vrchat i've gotten into learning blender and unity for a year. Kn ow my strengths and more importantly my weaknesses with making models.
Learning photoshop slowly now and eventually i'll be getting into making stuff myself from scratch.
while it may be limited in many aspects of what we can do, i'm mainly playing for learning and expanding on something i kind of wanted to learn even in my younger years.
honestly I avoided 3d modeling and programs like blender and mixamo for so long
just because it was so hard to get into
I only did it for occassional jokes or things like that
It's also a good way to meet people of certain languages, and learn it in the process.
but now that I can get instant feedback and explore the character itself, it seems much more rewarding
そう?
I mean, i played vrchat since last october, bought my vr around late december and had fbt by the first week of january.
Oof... I guess that's an exception
To go from desktop to fbt vr was quite the experience
Went from vr to desktop user 
Wish I had heard of this game sooner... I would've loved to see the old community
still need a VR set, whoops
The only QoL upgrade i ned for vrchat atm is a better internet connection lol
that's another thing!! you don't even need VR
There are an fair bit of users before the boom- Maybe not ages before the boom in the old days where the everyone knew everyone
I played VRChat in around April, months after the Knuckles incident
I got VRChat in February but didn't know how to make it function well on a desktop
Didn't know.what to do at first
I just recently got back into it
2017 was nice ^^
But i am greatful for the knuckles, because without It, I wouldn't have most of the friends I have now
Yeah, i used to run into so many people everyday in those days back then.
Not sure if many of 'em even remember me but i sure remember them.
wholesome Ugandan Knuckles
I'm glad that meme died peacefully
people just look back and say "good times" instead of having a situation like dabbing or harambe
Among all the fads, this one died with dignity
Jam, were you a knuckle yourself too at some point? 👀
Ugandan Knuckles god tier meme
I remember the stuff like; rainbow cult, birth of the solid legion, the NEP takeover.
Wait would we have our ghosto without the knuckle meme>
Weird seeing old pics of em filling public rooms. Rare to see even one nowadays
I wouldn't be even here without hearing of Knuckles
Just as it started to rise. One night I didn't know it was a thing. I just saw a bunch using it and I joined them. Then it really took off and I left vrchat while the knuckles boom peaked
Same jamie
I was not in the 10 users online days
But i was around the 120 users online
And then the boom happened
Yeah, I joined October 2017, so about the same
I didn't even know about the games state when I started, I cant tell 
I joined in April of 2017. It was horrible because of the EU hours.
Once i found friends I stopped going to publics frequently, that was long before the issues with crashers
Oof.. So we both entered in the same month.
So I lived under a rock
Damn my bad 2017.
Oh..
I was gonna say pan, 2018. I know thats a typo lol
Yeah, I made at least 2 typos in that message
hehe xD
I never really found any vrchat friends till I started YouTube videos. Before that, I would just play public's and never really made friends. I was a mute with a dk2 tho
So it was hard
Mute 
Then you got famous and everyone wanted to be your friend 
Nyaaow! Give Jamie headpats!
Lol
for those who don't get it the joke. Calling me famous is a joke because I have barely any subs
"Back in December, I was in a very famous VR show."

Why avoid vids and streams? Don’t like being in em?
Being famous is hard, gotta hold off that massive ego that grows with the amount of subs
Part of being introverted, tate.
Yeah. The friends I have are more genuine than if i was someone well known, so I really appreciate that ^^
Especially if my avatars stand out and people try to find me to talk to me or something.
Having to grow an alter ego to manage a huge number of subs is the most difficult part.
People don't hang out with streamers for many reasons, on of them is drama. If you're "in the game", you have to deal with drama.
Yeah, true
You used to hang out with them pan
Maybe you still are idk
Haven't seen you with them at least
I join them rarely.

Ahhh fair enough, I don’t mind being in vids but hate hearing my own voice
His name is Onions now.
No idea.

Changing VRChat accounts again, him?
I mean, for as long as i've played vrc i've yet to run into matsix or nagz but even if i did i wouldn't linger long due to stream/videos and such.
vr chat crashes 24/7
He's using the same account, he just renamed himself to Onions.
How, would that be possible?
You can ask mods to rename yourself as well.
Oh, I see... I'm alright with mine
Yeah, you send in a ticket form basically. HOWEVER your account name doesn't change just your in-game does
tip: dont use intel graphics with vr chat
Use GeForce
My old laptop I played vrchat on was an Intel HD 4400
a smooth 3 fps
rip...
You know, makes me laugh sometimes. My brother when he played vrc for a bit did it on a tablet with a snap on keyboard.
held like 25 fps max lol. I doubt in the current version of vrc he'd get more than 5 fps though
Have you lowered the vrchat settings?
how?
I can't play in VR without getting insane lag :v Might be because of my old as heck cpu rip. Insane lag as in barely playable
how old of a cpu, syrup?
heheh
im playing vga qulity
it crashed
:0
lets try , 720p
nope
i need 60fps
ooo0o0o0o
ty

Reminds me of when before i upgraded my gpu, in vr i was at 45 fps and 15-25 in the pug as an example with it full of people.
I don't miss those days, i always got so dizzy from the stutters.
My laptop runs on average, 70-90 fps when there are no more than 4 avatars. Any more than that and it drops to 45-60 fps.
with new new graphics card i'm a solid 90 or at the lowest with a large room, 45fps.
I've dipped to 25-35 before or lower but thats depending on anyone using a certain style of shader or particle effect, colliders and such.
Also depends on how many people are in there
yup, that especially. Also how many drawcalls too.
@vocal shard lads can help here. A lot of the people here are pretty cool people. Except for @burnt harbor :P

They need friends
He/She it's 2018 and idk
There are plenty here who would be happy to make friends ^^
They fell asleep on me in a voice chat
XD
Lol
Howdy @vocal shard
?
its laggy
@lapis nebula heya
If you're talking about a default avatar, click it in the avatar menu
Pun your font tag isn't closed again
I don't have to close it, and even if I wanted to, it would be over 32 characters.
Nvm it's already hex. No colors for you I guess
Mfw in vrchat and somebody goes "wow your avatar looks like ass" like ty fam, i spent hours decimating it from 280k polys down to 19800 in blender then another hour in unity fixing it up all nice so i could import it into vrchat for you to call it ass lmao.
((It's glitched as hell anyway but yaknow))
I've had someone do the same but for a different reason of not having shaders turned on for me.
ok thanks for info
@undone belfry "I turned off shaders and now everything looks bad, this must be the fault of the avatar maker"
Oof
yeah, hilarious isn't it.
Also had some people complain about a "giant purple sphere"
Which they wouldn't be able to see if they had shaders unblocked
That means you have shaders blocked for green users most likely
If the shader fallback system can find absolutely nothing like a texture or even a color, it uses the user's trust rank color
¯_(ツ)_/¯
It's odd but they gotta do something in that scenario. I would prefer having an invisible shader honestly
Then this wouldn't be such an issue
yeah
I have everything unblocked anyway
Makes no sense to block anything for visitors or new users since they can't upload anything
Trust system is based on the person wearing it rather than the creator
i have certain things blocked just because my internet is bad. otherwise i lag the heck out.
That won't help unless you block their entire avatar
yeah, i do for most ranks
Ah
if i'm more stable i unblock them slowly so they can load
If i go into a world without them blocked and theres like 30 people i'm either gonna disconnect or sit at rought 25k ping until they all download.
its mostly due to my isp being very unstable
are there any keybind editors that allow us (me) to map LShift+F* keys to a letter only to use avatar expressions as a desktop, non-vr user?
I just use the Razer software for my Razer keyboard
Has built in macros
If pressing 2 buttons for you is effort, pretty sure just googling for some macro software should do it
just setup marco to keypad
ok so are vrchat servers down? I keep seeing a failed to conenct to vrchat on my VR
In the discord sidebar the VRCbot reports there are over 9000 inb4 old meme users playing VRchat right now, so I doubt the servers are down.
9k
Warnizoop
3k more than 2 weeks ago
Dope
Wonder how long it'll take before 20k is the norm, if it ever returns to those numbers again
With current quality of the game
Uh oh
ytbers can't milk the game anymore as there is nothing left
We need another meme
@humble yacht keep it at280k and upload it 
i'm surprised its at 9k but it is a saturday.
Just how long does a world stay in the "popular worlds" list at the home site anyways?
Cause the uganda place is still in that category, and it's been dead for months now
It has the most visits in total still, would be my guess
The pug was the hangout place. It's a bar, it's a hangout and talk place and the music was perfect.
I was always there, If I went to a different instance, a friend was always in there
Ive found that Visitors are the ones I often have to mute, but Trusted Users are often the ones I have to block.
It feels like the latter abuse the fact that they are trusted. Or are trusted for all the wrong reasons.
more like trusted for the wrong reason
looks at trusted friends who've previously used modded clients... Been banned... And other untrustworthy things.....
Sure... Trusted eh?...
of course
looks at veteran friends who have blatantly stolen avatars and crashed people
they are trusted
you can trust them
the system is telling you so
so unblock them
pussy.
Known is okay, except for the color 🤢
Well this place turned out to be a rancid shithole right now.
O.o
Yikes
Who peed in this man's cereal
Been banned twice, kicked from many instances, blocked a bunch, trusted user 
There's more than just time or certain people
Trusted user is different
A lot of people were just retroactively given trusted regardless of the standard trust system
I was a trusted user before people got trusted 
That's exactly what I said
They probably don't have a system in place to track who has been banned pre security update
at least, not easily
imo if you get banned, your rank should be stripped
VIsitor, New User, User, and Known User (and people who get Trusted User AFTER this update) have to earn it, but most people that simply got placed into Trusted user were put there because they were grandfathered in as playing before they started tracking Trust
I think you become a Nuisance User after you get banned a couple of times.
Basically if you were playing before they added the requirement to play a little before you were able to upload content, you were automatically given Trusted User
I started Dec 2017, still known
im sad.
@languid beacon it's the other way around
all hours that you had before the system
are gone basically
80% of my playtime was before that system
I have someone who specifically told me that anyone who was playing BEFORE they added in the 30 hour thing for upload (not talking about the trust system) was autoamtically given Trusted user when the trust update came out
The system has been up for 2 years before they added "Safety" to it.
yeah that's probably what he meant
before that 2 year thing
if you're that old you're just trusted
even if you've been banned a ton
🤔
I played before the gating system, wasn't trusted .. so there's a flaw in your theory
Oh, that
You need to own popular worlds, a bunch of avatars, and probably report Nuisance Users to become Trusted.
A have a friend with no worlds and only 5 avatars that is trusted
I know many trusted people without a single public world
and no public avatars
they don't even know how
Another that had used modded clients a bunch and started way after me... Trusted
(they also don't know why they are trusted)
Another with no world's, only a few avatars... Started after me... But they stream... Trusted...
Lol
The system uses magic
for the most part, you only really need "known user" anyway for most people to have you fully enabled
If you think someone's rank isn't fair, please contact VRC at moderation@vrchat.com.
Yeah there seems to be a huge difference between Known and Trusted. Known has people who have really been playing a TON in the last 7 months and super active, Trusted has a lot of oldbies who have been gone for a long while and have come back recently
@vocal shard trusted allows for shader by the default settings
i mostly use shaders for my stuff
Not going to contact mods about someone's rank. Lol
especially since they will ighnore you
are there that many people that didn't custom config their stuff on day one?
And many of the common population don't even touch the safety settings, they leave it default
They ignore people, not emails.
Yeah I really don't care about rank at all, it almost seems cringy to talk about rank, the only reason I care is you need Trusted to actually have people see your shaders. If not for that one fact, I'd ignore the system entirely and even hide my rank.
I have it set to none, and ignore it.
I just want a color other than orange 
I would be a lot more okay with it if you didn't need to go all the way to trusted to have default users see your shaders
I wonder if there's at least one person who asked VRC to demote them to a lower rank.
People friend request me to turn my features on in publics sometimes so lol
Orange is the best color! Enjoy it while you can. Once you rank up it's either purple or green. but you can't hide as orange 😛
Purple is the only good color. Except cyan, which they're not using.
I lile the blue of a new user, it's very pleasing to the eyes
also just in case anyone didn't realize, hiding as User also treats you like a user, losing your shaders, lights, particles, and sounds to otheres
When I first saw the system and saw orange, first thought was that it looked like a nuisance rank or something
isn't the nuisance rank pink or something?
I don't know
It's the same as visitor except it has a troll icon
Just usually orange is like a caution colour
idk it was hard to miss the rank colors everywhere in home and loading screens so I didn't get a clean first impression
i would if the voice indicator remained
Nuisance is grey. I've got a picture in Virtual Week-ality.
ideally i'd have the voice indicator stay behind when you turn nameplates off, then add them as a third switch in UI settings
befriend a bunch of mutes, then you don't need it 
also hiding the voice HUD thing but not hide invites/friend requests/votekicks would be nice
Voice HUD is one of the most annoying things about the VRChat UI.
I only hide that to avoid burn in
Next to Uganda constantly being on the Popular list.

I haven't crashed ever since the trust system came out, except when i put capsule colliders on my avie by accident. So I think the system is good
i didnt crash in months and i'm only using the particle limiter
Same svel
I have safety disabled only running limiter, and I haven't crashed for a couple months
I just chimed in to this chat late but adeon I've been playing a full year, i'm only known and not trusted.
so that whole grandfathered into it is kinda not fully true.
It's not just "first login date"
Well obviously, its mostly activity. Besides, people with less hours have gotten trusted. I'm at least content with the rank i've been given aside from its nameplate colour.
what about a way to just disable a world's realtime lights, and it replaces it with a mild static lighting... (Would probably need to use an unlit setting because no lighting would have been baked)
It would look ugly, but some maps.. (I'm sure most thought of the same one), I'd really like to disable the real-time lights in favor of frames
Yes in theory... But there's some popular maps that have a reputation for being really bad for lag...
cough Pug cough
The Pug is well within limits on its own
Yeah, having a solid 90fps all the time to get approved, is that tested via 1 person or a full world?
makes me wonder.
1, but it should still prove that the world isn't too bad
Absolutely no "full world" will maintain 90 unless the player limit is 6
Or if the world enforces generic-rigged cubes as avatars
yeah was gonan say about the avatars as well
Have you ever friended anyone of the vrchat team? 
why cant anybody hear me in vrchat anymore
people already barely paid me the time of day and now nobody even acts as if i exist
The correct mic is selected in game? Your mic is appearing in windows audio settings.
yeah, theres only one mic to select, and its the right one
i tested my audio is multiple applications, and im apparent, loud and clear, maybe too loud
the mic setting in vrchat itself is set the the max
i shoved the mic in my mouth and screamed as loud as i could and people Still couldnt hear me
yeah, absolutely nobody can hear me for some reason
Isn’t there a input volume slider on the vrc menu? Maybe that is at 0?
its at the max it can possibly be dude
can anyone tell me about some anime worlds?
darkii this is kind of a pressing issue for me, can that wait for a second
does the mic indicator light up?
U using VR?
the red mic indicator does light up, and no im not using VR
hm
if that does light up then i dont know what the issue might be 
To test it, try opening two clients at once, if that's still possible
Can friends not hear u? Maybe others got u mute cuz of rank
im running through steam, i cant do that
yeah, i friended someone ingame and they still didn't even think i was there
launcher?
On their website you can login and join a world
you can't login with a steam account ?
It will put a URL in your URL bar, which will start launch the game
maybe it detects your mic but doesnt actually hear it
He meant that he couldn't launch through Steam twice
they need to actually create a vrchat account
try using another microphone
do you have a desktop microphone or something? laptop microphone?
im using a headset
Test in another game maybe
@maiden hound if the indicator lights up that shouldnt be the issue
i already did
multiple different applications, they all hear me loud and clear
except vrchat
yeah but what if its the microphone detecting its being used or something, but its like broken or something, its happened to my microphone where its saying its picking up sound but its not
and coffeee cup could you give me a url to do that on because from the vrchat website im not sure where to go to launch the game
i guess people doesnt like you 🤷
thats the vibe im getting svelsien but im hoping thats not the case
Well he did say even a friend couldn’t hear him
what a bad friend
^ 😂
i didnt know the guy lol i just friended him out of desperation
Mute em back
to try to get someone to hear me
Maybe it might be worth reinstalling vrc
go to a public lobby with a bunch of people and try to join their conversation or ask them a question
i just did
i bet its not vrc's fault, could be the mics to quiet, or the mic just sucks
nobody says anything at all to me when i ask if they can hear me
if that was the case, it wouldnt work on other applications/games
delaney allow me to reiterate
i tried this mic in multiple different applications
and it worked fine
just not vrchat
oh damn idk then, have you fiddled around with settings? is the mic volume up in vrc settings?
i did
ive got nothing then
guess i'll just never play vrchat again
i guess yeah
you dont need to completely quit lol. Have you tried reinstalling? takes like 5 minutes
im gonna do that right now
or any of the #vrchat-support steps
that was a deeply demotivating experience, i hope this works
you propably want to do what svelsien said first
what did he recommend
The #vrchat-support steps 

ugh this is so LONG
i'll try to install it again first
and then if that doesnt work ill do that

damn i hope my model also installs with this
Please read the announcements and make sure not to trust anyone with external links, not even chat moderators.
i dont appreciate such a trust nobody attitude mister
^
my PC exploded when i tried FPaul's link
better get to saving up again then for a new compooper
The content of the annoucement is not to trust nobody with anything is it 
And i know why i use batch which anybody can check if they want to 
fight, die, eat, repeat ?

its a server like i never seen before and i feel so free in it
you be crazy to not enjoy it
World map ratings WHEN 🙏
Anything else been said with chairs recently or we still waiting?
Same... Just waiting
You mean avatar chairs?
Shame... yeah avatar chairs
Yeah that’s the last thing I heard about it
On one hand, I dislike the fact we're being told something we shouldn't rely on, even if it was told by a developer, but on the other, I'd much rather listen to them talking about pretty much anything than nothing.
I haven't heard of any good games or apps with dead corpses instead of actual developers, so I guess it's always nice to hear a new word every now and then.
Yeah I wouldn’t mind hearing more from them once in while talking about development, even if we get no eta on anything discussed
Maybe they should add community goals, like in Rainbow Six: Siege. For example, "Make a new record of 2000 people in the same world by the end of the season, and we'll reveal the upcoming system we're working on."
I think someone a while ago suggested a dev road map, more like others games do. More for the long term and more in depth than the current system with dates/when to expect certain updates
Yeah, they're not gonna make it. Not any time soon, for sure.
I can't help but feel that the lack of updates (or development transparency) in VRChat is huge.
i have a ryzen 2700x, 3200mt/s ram and a geforce 1060... What would I change to run vrchat better? I am dying down to 45 fps in vr in rooms with like 10 people
@gleaming patio the cpu .. it is 3.7 ghz when it is not running its turbo feature while for 90fps ,4.2 or more is really necessary
Half of my materials arent showing up in unity while they are in my "project" bar, could someone help?
My suggestion would be to set vrchat to lowvr mode (hold shift at launch to open the config menu for this), also turn off particles and shaders for new users helped me and i have a 3.6 ghz system running at 120% with a gtx 170 (65-90 fps avg in 15 users room (great pub)
what is the 3200 then
due to dual data rate, it has to be megatransfers instead of mhz
dear god
i've spent 23 years on this planet and not once have i ever seen anyone use the literal metric, even though that's what's actually meant.
next you're gonna measure GPU power in megatexels
Something something Sohcatoa
Please send help, I'm starting to remember useless highschool memorization
write shaders or graphics stuff and you'll wanna remember it
I've only EVEr used sin cos and tan.
I've never used any of the arc stuff or inverse functions
atan2 is amazing
even tan is rare
oh yeah I forget where i had to use atan2 🤔
something to do with camera placement from pitch
atan2 does cartesian to polar angle
Right that's it
I guess there is a use to having them all memorized but I mostly just look up math formulas and find be like "oh, take the tangent"
atan2(1,1) = 45° (technically but not really because ROTATIONS YAYYY)
this image makes me happy
I've seen one with all of them
yeah yours is less busy
linear algebra weeee
when is the desktop crouch that had the hands foward gonna come back
cause this one is yikes
It's like a split
many people like the new one hated old one
many like the old hate new one
I can't see them changing it any time soon tbh
it's not unanimous enough
this one makes avatars look like they about to naruto run and push your chest backwards
at least a fix for that
oh yes i'm on the side of it being ugly
PepeHands
Can be a fun way to waste resources 👀
but i've also had an equal amount of "wow they finally fixed the crouch"
oh, i've used asin too
(???)
ree
I don't get it either.
linear algebra still makes me want to fall into a fetal position and never think again sometimes tho like.. https://pomf.pyonpyon.moe/vzhbql.png
This crouch is the original right? They reverted it to this one because people complained about the last one I think
problem is this one makes the arms go back
and makes your back go everywhere
when u look around
How to enter avatar for spookality contest?
@wind bison #announcements
<@&397642795457970181> help pls
what's up
can i talk to in whispers@weary bison ?
^
i did and they never reply
if it's tech or account support, email support@vrchat.com
Then wait for a response 
looks like it wasn’t important enough :D
its about the 4 year evasion
4 year = permanent, just to be clear about it.
but couple days ago i was playing it fine
All ingame moderation related matters must be done through the moderation@vrchat.com email, we cannot help you here.
can't discuss this kind of thing here
regardless of the details please let us not talk about it here any more.
If you got banned and you want to appeal then a mail to moderation@vrchat.com is your way.
And you will have to wait for a response.
No matter how long that might take 😃
4 years lol
Not this discord or any DM's
it's not 4 years
it's a display issue
4 years is perma ban
well i hope vrchat lives on because after the knuckles meme died out and only a year in the game lets see how the game is in 4 years from now on 😃
Just wait for the email response
No need to get all dramatic
But drama is fun jamie
That's steam release. Vrchat has been around since 2014 (I think...was it earlier?)
i looked it up on google
Google only says steam
VRchat has existed since the oculus dk1 days.
I'm unsure, so can't pinpoint exactly. But around that time frame atleast.
I expected this game to be younger than it actually is.
2013?! I knew vrc was quite a bit old but never knew it been going for that long
does Oculus rift work good with 1 sensor?
Ummm never tried it, I assume it would work to some extent but to what quality is the question
yeah probably not very well
?
it works, just not well.
and i'm pretty sure hand controls mess up too
but for just HMD, would work just fine. that's how the rift cr1 released xd
A friend of mine had one Oculus sensor go out and it actually worked decently well
i also had one dropping once and was suprised how well it worked when facing the enabled one.
WTH!
There was no @ everyone for the vrchat meetup last night for twitchcon? 😥
Can't believe I missed that.
Gotta be in the know, bro
Oof. The Great Pug is dissapointing. Plus so laggy.
what's new :^)
Dafuq?
O.o
Someone goes to twitch con and then the day of and starts asking friends who's going? Then they say yes and then suddenly it's a vrchat meetup. We just need pins that say our name lol.
Then Ron suddenly decided to show up
if someone didnt make a visitor colored nameplate im gonna be sad
I am upset today
Wanted to play vrchat but my connection has been shit ever since i moved again
Keep timing out
oof, thats been happening to a couple other people too
Is it on vrchat's end?
I've been having internet problems in general so i thought it was just me
Vrchat has been especially unstable though
its probably a mix of both
Yeah
the other day i couldnt stay connected for too long either

maybe every 10 minutes until i just quit
For me it's 1 minute if I'm lucky
Remember when i was using my phone for vr and the program booted me out every 10 minutes
It's like that all over again
:NotLikeThis:


How have you been anyways we haven't talked in a while
Rip
No u

turned into casual convo ye
#general-media 🏃
C'mon, you heard the neko
Which one
The flipping Great Pug is beautiful atm
... Totally didn't stay up the majority of the night to dance and mess around with a group of friends...
I really wouldn’t call this a game. More like a gateway to other worlds where you can interact with others without leaving your home. That’s what’s great about this “game.”
When it works, at least
Metaverse
I mean I don't call VRChat a game
I call it an excuse so my parents stop going on at me about leaving the house and socialising
face to face
Like, why do that when I can do it virtually without leaving my home
Because you will need to prepare yourself for a non-virtual world anyways
- You are looking at the screen, that is not 100% healthy
the only real difference is not making memes about suicide, if you really think about it
otherwise VR and real life are the same
duh
also I don't really think staring at a VR screen does much more than cause temporary discomfort unless ytou've got pre-existing conditions
Staring at a vr screen taught me how to control my focus seperate from my eye convergence. Lol
yeah the possibility of real convergence issues is the only thing i've seen anyone mention with any real basis
the rest is "my mom said staring at the screen was bad when i was 5 and here we are"
Just eat more carrots 4Head
^
🥕
the only time a VR headset should damage your eyes permanently and not just give you temporary discomfort or "oh this is weird" effects after removing them is if you're a child and your eyesight is still developing to maturity
That’s true.
otherwise there's no reason even a 24 hour session should have any longterm effects, at least none proved by science
I wish my vision wasn't so bad (hereditarily) that it gets worse every few years so I could see if there's any change for the better, which some people have reported
im unsure if i should tell them i wear the thing like 8 hours a day though lol
I don’t have a compatible VR set, so I play the gamr through my PC monitor. It’s still fun, though.
Im goin in Kids.... To the Pug >>>>>>> 
anyone wanna play? im on desktop, dont hate meh, or hate me, i dont care
Sorry bout Pug perf. Too many people or people with respires hogging avatars
You should be able to do 21 people fine’
❤️
Hey owl boy! How can i get somthing added to the bilboard in the pug? @idle elm
Survived 6 hours in public Pug worlds before finally getting crashed. Actually kind of impressive, compared to how the game was a month ago.
Was overall all good stuff. No one being toxic, no obnoxious spam of any kind.
Usually how it is, I try to only stay in public worlds. Just more fun in my opinion
I've always enjoyed visiting publics. I probably still spend more time in friends+ these days simply due to invites and such, but I always refused to let the crashers drive me out in the past.
And lately with the trust system, even though it doesn't really work in the intended regard of how it incorrectly assumed crashers to be low rank and thus auto blockable, it has had the notable effect that they're more careful these days.
It much rarer to see them strutting around the pug (or other active publics) crashing people on a whim and at random, thinking they're invincible.
They know they can get de-ranked now.
Lol
Then again, it also bred some narcissism, though at that point, they will be taken notice and de-ranked.
Well, some inflated ego for some.
For me I don't care in any way, shape, or form
doubtful anyonex will derank over it
I see people as people, no mater
because almost no one reports
Why would someone make a report about something so minor?
At that point if you're reporting someone for boasting their rank or shaming lower ranks, it's really nitpicking.
if I'm completely honest I feel like it's people higher on the trusted scale you need to watch out for. Sure crashers are new accounts but they're 1 in 100. The odds of running into a trusted with obnoxious sound effects, particles, and other annoying nonsense? Like 1 in 5. They have the power but don't know how to use responsibly
But people do block and hide avatars. And whilst we still have no way to be sure whether that effects the trust score, the possibility is enough to change behaviour.
Oh wait, you were talking about the narcissism thing.
Meh. Can't say I've encountered any of that personally.
@pulsar hamlet I mean you aren't wrong. I'm a Trusted user and I'm VERY obnoxious. I do know when to not use something though.
haha at least you're honest about it
