Is that like. Nsfw avatars is allowed there even in public worlds as lock as you lock the door or...just decorations

#

no nsfw in public worlds

#

that's all that they stated

#

if the instance is public

#

and you use an nsfw avatar

#

expect to get banned if you get reported

#

Yeah but like private rooms in some worlds can be locked

#

and ?

#

didnt you read ?

#

if the instance is public

#

it doesnt matter that you have small private boxes

#

it's still a public instance

#

Nah I was just wondering cause people use them a lot for certain things. Even in public worlds

#

well, they can get banned if someone report them 🤷

#

if nobody cares then nothing will happen

#

So I was wondering if that was some sort of new special rule or what not

languid beacon
#

The rift only needs two 3.0 slots (headset and at least one sensor) the other sensors can be 2.0

#

It will only complain if you have no sensors in usb 3.0 ports

hardy raven
#

ohhhh ok

#

i was just scared bc im not sure how to add more 3.0 ports

languid beacon
#

There are usb pci-e slots if you need more. Hubs won’t work

hardy raven
#

that add 3.0s?
ive only seen ones that add 2.0s

languid beacon
#

Typically if usb 3.0 is required it’s due to needing the extra bandwidth and hubs don’t give you more bandwidth

hardy raven
#

thats what i figured

#

which is why i was worried about only having 2 3.0 slots

hardy raven
#

gotcha, cool.

#

yeah i have the space

gleaming patio
#

i even have a seperate pcie card for my vive tbh

#

and the extra trackers

#

mostly about putting it on it's own usb tree not encumbered by other stuff

#

i've had like no problems since

hardy raven
#

huh neato

#

well ive gotta decide on a headset first of all

#

but i will keep it in mind :D

hearty wyvern
#

Yeah i been having USB ports dingdonging on me all the time and a sensor will turn off or my headset will turn off and then back on. I think its either USB or CPU related as Vrchat gobbles a good 60-75% of my cpu

#

My motherboard is old af. Like 2010 old. Might be my board doesnt have enough power or lanes to support all of the pieces.

neon flume
#

I should probably get a pci-e usb card. One of my sensors is in a 3.0 slot but claims to be plugged into a 2.0, the other often experiences tracking issues with dropped frames.

#

It was worse back when I used to use the Kinect for fbt. My poor usb controller must have been completely overwhelmed.

hardy raven
#

oh gosh i do hope i dont have the same issue

hearty wyvern
#

Honestly. I'm just gonna drop another 400 on a MOBO/CPU/RAM update

#

Im on an i5 4590 on an lga 1150 mono from around 2010-11 with ddr3 ram

neon flume
#

I'm also quite literally out of USB ports (except my sole usb c port hanging out back there being future proof) so my situation might be a bit of an exception. Most people are fine in regards to usb bandwidth with the two sensors. You generally only need to upgrade to a pci-e card if you get a third sensor.

hearty wyvern
#

Well the VIVE uses a display port, you got one of those?

#

Do mixed reality sets use those?

umbral reef
#

What?

#

Vive also uses HDMI

hearty wyvern
#

Yeah the vive pro is Display port

#

Oh

#

lol my bad I was thinking ofnpro the whole time

#

I'm dum dum

umbral reef
#

Vive pro is a garbe product and should not be bought 👏

vocal shard
#

umbral reef
#

garbage*

hearty wyvern
#

LOL i know someone whos buying one now.

neon flume
#

I mean I guess if money is not a concern, diminishing returns doesn't really matter.

umbral reef
#

There is legit no reason to get one IMO

#

If you got the money to throw well- why not

hearty wyvern
#

Its not an opinion. Its fact.

vocal shard
#

Yeah, rift, og vive and wmr use HDMI, pro uses display port

#

oof, delay response

umbral reef
#

And dont all Gpu's have a DP?

neon flume
#

Spending 2.5x the amount for a 10% or 20% improvement can sound insane but a lot of hobbies have that kind of high end. Of course it's a little silly when WMR headsets already have a similar resolution at a fraction of the price but maybe they really like blue.

vocal shard
#

Lol

hearty wyvern
#

@umbral reef mini versions dont always have them

#

So people on a microatx form factor may not have it.

#

Oculus quest has the highest resolution so far. Too bad its mobile based xD

vocal shard
#

What?... Quest, vive pro, and odyssey have the same resolution

#

And pimax is higher

umbral reef
#

And off to make a report GWnanamiRankoPog

#

!outputlog

floral flaxBOT
#

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

neon flume
#

Maybe that usb c port is actually thunderbolt and it can be connected to a gpu for tethered vr? 😨

vocal shard
#

Likely

#

Although I think external GPUs can be slower than internals

#

there's also word about the Rift S that might come out next year

umbral reef
#

welp guess not as the report doesnt show the name 👏

vocal shard
#

I'm just getting a Lenovo Explorer at the end of this year

umbral reef
#

fucking great screenshot option ya got there steamvr

neon flume
umbral reef
#

And focours the 'recent' tab within worlds brings you to the most recent world and not session 👏

#

ofc

neon flume
#

I'm not holding out hope for this but it would be a neat way for Oculus to demonstrate their interest in remaining on the PC platform and hopefully provide quest owners with an upgrade path to desktop VR.

vocal shard
#

Sounds wireless, but I'm thinking of VirtualHere

hearty wyvern
#

Ur right, the oculus only runs at 3220x 1440p

#

My bad

neon flume
#

That's if Oculus has any interest in staying on PC.

vocal shard
#

They should

#

The Rift is a great device

#

I don't think the quest will be able to connect to pc because the upcomming Rift S is basically a quest that connects to the pc, but without the stand alone

#

The Quest would need a 60GHz connection if it was a wireless connection, which would cost a lot

umbral reef
#

and i got vcrashed3

vocal shard
#

Ah

neon flume
#

Right yeah, though it would be nice to have a switch like device that does both. Imagine being able to take your headset to a friend's place and let them try VR, then bring it back home and plug it in to play VRChat.

vocal shard
#

That would be cool

ivory folio
#

getting crashed in 2018 🤔

vocal shard
#

It's still possible

#

Crashers can be Trusted Users

hearty wyvern
#

Vive pro is 2880 x 1660 wait a minute thats not the same as the quest!

#

You cant ruse me!

neon flume
#

That's why you should set your safety settings to brave
(none)

#

Face those shaders with courage

vocal shard
#

I still have avatar sound off for people under Known

neon flume
#

😨

gleaming patio
#

i have everything allowed

#

getting sound in my face is just part of the experience

vocal shard
#

I have the safety disabled

#

The Safety system can be a bit problematic

#

It's still great though

neon flume
#

It's almost like herd immunity. I feel like I can go with it disabled because it exists and other people use it.

hearty wyvern
#

Quest has a whopping 120 more pixels per square inch anisakailuul anisakailuul anisakailuul

vocal shard
#

Only have to worry about the nuisances

#

I Just have the old particle limiter, and I've been good vrclike

near saffron
#

Forgot about that

neon flume
#

I'm considering removing my particle limiter settings actually, I've missed out on those colliding particles.

vocal shard
#

People still mute me sometimes because I've been known to be hyper

hearty wyvern
#

My pc is a little poopy so I dont have avatars enables until known user and trusted users I can only see their shaders and avatar. sweating

wheat moth
#

hey pinky

hearty wyvern
#

Hey big boi 😂

wheat moth
#

how's you?

neon flume
#

If I'm in a busy world I'll sometimes hide everyone and then enable people as they get close to me. I feel like it helps with performance, kind of like a manual LOD.

hearty wyvern
#

I'm good man, just been a slow day at work so I figured id talk to the Vrchat discord peeps (Love y'all)

wheat moth
#

same

vocal shard
#

I'm not really doing anything at school

wheat moth
#

I am working, but discord is fun

hearty wyvern
#

Also playing tap games

#

Cuz why not

wheat moth
#

discord looks like a work window

#

so i can chat all day

umbral nova
#

LOL

wheat moth
#

Employee of the month here

umbral nova
#

yesh

#

Like do your employers not know what Discord is?

wheat moth
#

i hoppe not lol

#

👀 they always watchin'

umbral nova
#

Otherwise you're the big dead

wheat moth
#

i've been using it everyday all year

umbral nova
#

Then I feel it's safe to say they don't know what Discord is then tanabae

neon flume
#

Maybe they think it's just slack?

wheat moth
#

the coworkers around me are over 50

#

nah, we don't have slack here

vocal shard
#

A lot of people don't know what discord is

#

Primarily the non-gamers

#

Yea

#

They would never use it

wheat moth
#

lol yeah, i do have to keep discord in light-mode

#

otherwise it might look suspicious to walkersby

vocal shard
#

I'm gonna have to switch

#

OHHHHHH MY EYES

wheat moth
#

weakling. drag your self from the basement and look outside

#

o-o

neon flume
#

Yeah light mode looks worse than I remember. Was it always so low contrast? The sidebar is still dark mode grey too!

vocal shard
#

The sidebar being dark makes it bad

umbral nova
#

Light mode on Discord?

wheat moth
#

i am so used to it. My whole work windows are bright as day

umbral nova
#

Chrome dark mode when

vocal shard
#

There technically is now

umbral nova
#

But like

#

Many websites are incompatible

vocal shard
#

The latest Chrome UI update made my dark mode look ugly

umbral nova
#

Obvious reasons though

vocal shard
#

Well you can't really make them all compatible

wheat moth
#

If anything, I am surpised the IT boys haven't cajoled me about using discord.

umbral nova
#

LOL

#

I'm surprised as well

wheat moth
#

i think they're in their 30s

#

main guy is late 40s i think

umbral nova
#

Though let's be honest, they're probably using Discord on their time too

wheat moth
#

lol true

umbral nova
#

So if they rat you out that'll mean they're done too

vocal shard
#

What's wrong with using discord

umbral nova
#

He's at work vrpill

vocal shard
#

And?

serene talon
#

okay garret get back to work (Susan from HR)

wheat moth
#

OH NO!

umbral nova
#

He's not on his break lul

serene talon
#

🙃

wheat moth
#

perks of a deskjob

vocal shard
#

Dual monitor

#

"I'm doing research"

#

"Why is there a picture of hatsune miku?"

#

"ITS RESEARCH"

#

Getting research from my friends

wheat moth
#

lol yup, i have a dual montitor

vocal shard
#

It's anime related

umbral nova
#

Vocaloid research

vocal shard
#

"Why does she look naked?"

#

"ITS RESEARCH"

#

"GET OUT"

#

Wear sunglasses and use light mode so it blinds the IT guys

umbral nova
#

I can imagine when MatPat really runs out of ideas he does like a Film Theory based on Vocaloid characters or someth

#

Or has he already run out

wheat moth
#

always where sunglasses 😎

umbral nova
#

🕶

wheat moth
#

or since it's discord light mode, I need a pair of those eclipse glasses from last August

umbral nova
#

Lol

vocal shard
#

Yeah

#

That'll work

#

The eclipse was a bit disappointing last year since I was expecting something cool but since we had 97% something it wasn't very cool

wheat moth
#

i was in the path of totality

#

😎

umbral nova
#

Watch out, we got a cool guy here

vocal shard
#

Good for you

wheat moth
#

I remember posted a few pics of the eclipse in this channel, but Pill took them down because it wasn't posted in #vrchat-pictures

#

ri

#

rip

umbral nova
#

LOL

vocal shard
#

but it's the eclipss

umbral nova
#

But it wasn't a VRChat picture? 🤔

vocal shard
#

True

wheat moth
#

you know... i think there was a separate channel called 'other-media' or something.

#

not sure when it was removed

umbral nova
#

Oof

#

I would've used it

vocal shard
#

Should be readded

wheat moth
#

probably got out of control when vrc's population exploded

umbral nova
#

Ya

#

I was gonna say that

vocal shard
#

Maybe

#

VRChat is still big

wheat moth
#

Look up VRChat population chart on steam. It's interesting that I was there to witness it

vocal shard
#

I think one of my friends did yesterday

#

Yup

#

It's gamer time

wheat moth
#

shows the average user

umbral nova
#

I'm not average so

vocal shard
#

Imm not averge either

#

fleet ice
#

@umbral nova lool i realized you changed your name because of me, sweet ;*

sterile drift
#

That's my mobile account

vocal shard
#

YOu have a mobile account?

sterile drift
#

Yea

vocal shard
#

Wow, someone's fancy

sterile drift
#

I mean I had this account hacked for about a week and a half

#

So it's just a precaution

vocal shard
#

One account master race GWdrewpHaha

fleet ice
#

nice to know

sterile drift
#

Also the reason I named myself that Sui is because you kept pinging me yesterday instead of just addressing me without pings

wheat moth
#

lol

fleet ice
#

but without pinging you maybe ignor my shit^^

sterile drift
#

"Maybe"

wheat moth
#

I wish people would ping me...

sterile drift
#

@wheat moth

vocal shard
#

@wheat moth

#

Damnit

wheat moth
#

lol

sterile drift
#

lawl

vocal shard
#

LUL

compact river
#

@wheat moth

vocal shard
#

Also, pinging someone every time you want to send someone a message is annoying as hell

sterile drift
#

yuH

wheat moth
#

Yes, hello. I am garret. Why am I being pinged?

sterile drift
#

HAHHAHA

vocal shard
#

@vocal shard what? Pinging is annoying?

compact river
#

dont you like it vrcsmile

umbral nova
#

Is that the real Jamie?

vocal shard
#

Like what Suiheisen did

#

@vocal shard what is love

#

Lol

#

Don't hurt me

fleet ice
#

i was never interested to ping someone the whole time, but if you lead a discussion with one person and 3 or 4 or 5 other people feel addressed without obvious reasons and they spam in the chat then a ping can be helpfull to answer the correct person

wheat moth
#

Usually when I am pinged, people could use my help with something.

#

Or when a person wants to know what my riddle is

sterile drift
#

Now pinging yourself with both accounts, that's next level. @umbral nova

umbral nova
#

@sterile drift Like this

compact river
#

go ping yourself

wheat moth
#

how rude

compact river
#

😫

sterile drift
#

Usually when I'm pinged I get memed

rigid crescent
#

If you want to "lead a discussion with one person " without anyone else chiming in, why not take it to DMs?

#

This is a public forum, of course people will respond, even if you think you're talking to one person.

fleet ice
#

but talking about pinging can be rude and rename to something that looks like a statement is a bit contradictory

sterile drift
#

VRChat update

wheat moth
#

oh look, new announcement

compact river
#

oooof

sterile drift
#

Time to restart steam

tacit plank
#

Release notes are outdated

vocal shard

"Performance fixes, including a more performant Voice Chat" :0 what was this about

sterile drift
#

But were Fixed Joints fixed?

distant charm
#

Ready for some extreme stability

vocal shard

can't wait to discover the new game breaking bugs

rigid crescent

apparently some people's fixed joints work still

I feel that's my fault lol

we in that matrix now bois

#

tags for worlds juhu, i was waiting for this

rigid crescent
#

Ouuuch, ten seconds? Wait no! I just used my one post up to type this!

wheat moth
#

Oh boy. Lots text

sterile drift
#

Actually, is the slow mode my fault? lmao

vast tulip
#

@rigid crescent voice chat before was one of the most expensive parts of vrc. From the tests I've been in it's a pretty decent improvement

twin jacinth
#

Nice, that steam connect is good but does the steam account affect your rank if you connect it?
Time played, Friends, etc.

vocal shard
#

Yay

sterile drift
#

I wouldn't be surprised because of my 2 accounts

covert chasm
#

Everything is transferred from the Steam account.

rigid crescent
#

Ohh, I didn't know that, that's pretty cool.

vocal shard
#

Am I allowed to put videos in this chat?

tacit plank
#

Is that like a global cooldown on chatting?
Anyways, not a lot of updates, but they seem nice! How big is the performance difference?

half apex
#

thanks for clarifying tupper

wheat moth
#

Sounds good, Tupper

near mango
#

YES steam account upgrading is finally a thing!!

winged igloo
#

I know several people who will be very happy with this update!

twin jacinth
#

Sweet^^

compact river
#

2 accounts new vrchat general chat meta

near mango
#

I don't have to lose my friends now lol

rancid vessel
#

@covert chasm in the new version if we already have a vrchat account can we merge the steam into the vrchat account?

covert chasm
#

Yes

vocal shard
#

it said so in the patch note. read it

supple python
#

Something that seems not clear: if you have a steam and vrc account, if you merge the steam in, does it just add whatever is missing, as in if you have a friend on the steam but not vrc it will add it, or will it overwrite all vrc account data making me lose all friends and whatnot on a vrc account?

rotund mountain
#

So does linking your steam account with your vrchat account give you your steam name, or vrchat name ? Which one stay ? Does that merge the two accounts ?

compact river
#

lol you read LUL

placid umbra
#

@supple python It's a merge, things are added together

stray surge
supple python
#

Ok thanks for the clarification on that

near mango
#

This is great news 😄

vocal shard
#

about names, i can only guess that you keep the vrchat account name

subtle peak
#

Where's the upgrade account button? I can't find it in settings in the game

placid umbra
#

Yes, you keep the VRChat account name

#

You'll only see the button if you're logged into a Steam account

sterile drift
#

I would merge my VRC account and my steam account but

#

All the friends I added on my steam account never play anymore

twin jacinth
#

Ahh the meny has been updated even, also i like that you are interacting with users as the update goes live answering question, makes everything a lot easier^^

sterile drift
#

So no point

subtle peak
#

So I'm able to upload now since I have it signed into a VrChat account?

near mango
#

Yep

vocal shard
#

:hmm: Did your stance on Steam Workshop change in any way? Still not likely?

subtle peak
#

Ok cool. Tnx 😃

cloud isle
vocal shard
#

the devs/admins are always here to anser question during an update

#

well, aev is here and tupper usually.

rigid crescent
#

Depends on your rank

sterile drift
#

@cloud isle I'm sure the devs are very aware of that issue. The problem is tracking down the cause.

trail star
#

How does the merging system work with ranking? What if our VRChat account has a higher rank than our steam? Would we lose that rank?

vast tulip
#

@vocal shard I feel like if they ever added any type of content swapping that it wouldnt use steam workshop at all

cloud isle
#

they didnt respond to it and it isn't in progress

vast tulip
#

probably something of their own

covert chasm
#

@subtle peak Uploading ability is still determined by your Trust Rank.

lilac swan
#

@vocal shard Steam workshop will not be a thing, no.

vocal shard
#

Okay, thanks.

placid umbra
#

@trail star It's combined, you don't lose any progress

twin jacinth
#

Ah
One thing that should be noted before you actually merge the accounts is that it may take up to 1 hour to get worlds and avatars, instead of writing that at the very end of the process.

subtle peak
#

Ok @covert chasm

polar crown
#

does upgrading a steam account just merge the two accounts? what happened to data on each account?

rigid crescent
#

LOL now I see why they slowed chat, people don't know how to read

floral aspen
#

What are patch notes?

rigid crescent
#

especially Steam users, apparently

covert chasm
#

@polar crown They're.. merged. 😃

twin jacinth
#

haha yeah i can see why as well, but that's to be expected tbh.

lilac swan
#

A miserable little pile of secrets @floral aspen

vocal shard
#

Yea

left nexus
#

so if i merge my two accounts, would the total hours and uploaded content combined would make your rank go up?

vocal shard
#

10 Second Slow mode this is gonna be fun

#

Yay! Upgradable accounts, thats awesome!

left nexus
#

like im orange now, and my steam acc has a few hundred hours, would they combine and make my overall account rank up?

queen mango
#

@ruby burrow They want people to be miserable

vocal shard
#

i hope so, would make sense

ruby needle
#

@left nexus Rank doesnt base on time. Wether or not steam users have other points that can get merged i dont know cirMini

vocal shard
#

they can ?

#

I made a VRChat account asap

covert chasm
#

@left nexus Potentially! Your rank may increase based on the stats that are merged in.

vocal shard
#

i saw known steam users

#

I'm gooooooddd

left nexus
#

ive seen purple steam users lul

ruby needle
#

Thats new to me cirMini

floral aspen
#

I don't see steam users much these days so idk

sterile drift
#

Purple steam users lol

vocal shard
#

every account can gain trust score, only vrchat accounts can upload

#

uhhhhh how do you guys even tell Steam users apart

polar crown
#

they have the 4 hex characters after their name

floral aspen
#

^

sterile drift
#

Again what's great about this update is that no one has an excuse to never switch over to a VRC account

cloud isle
vocal shard
#

they usually earrape you and crash you too

polar crown
#

eg: 3A8D

ruby burrow
#

Warning received and noted. I suppose I don't have any actual evidence for that comment.

vocal shard
#

oh. So that's what those numbers were.

twin jacinth
#

Probably a lot of people trying to merge the accounts so the site is slow

left nexus

cloud isle
#

need dat sdk lol

left nexus
vocal shard
#

you can report worlds now

left nexus
#

oh nice

gloomy valve
#

New sdk?!

vocal shard
#

time to report the Pug for not having a toggle button for the mixed lights.

twin jacinth
#

There's a new sdk?

ruby needle
#

Ofc

#

Since worlds can have tags now

cloud isle
#

@gloomy valve updates tend to have updates to sdk as well...

ruby needle
#

it needs a sdk that lets you set tags

#

😄

delicate perch
#

did the VRChat SDK update?

compact river
#

this will end well

queen mango
#

Yes?

floral aspen

Btw congrats on getting senior chat mod FPaul

Lol without fail Jamie. Update time is always entertaining

hasty wedge
vocal shard
#

still no report of a game-breaking bug
going well for now.

sterile drift
#

@floral aspen I remember how much I struggled trying to explain to people "Use animators!" when the update that killed Legacy came around.

delicate perch
#

so imma take it that the SDK didnt update

heavy dove
#

it definitely did

vocal shard
cold talon
#

but we dont have custom reasons for world reports nikosaddest

covert chasm
#

It did. Otherwise, the announcement wouldn't ask you to download the new SDK. ThinkingGifDiscord

ruby needle
#

It did.
And it clearly says in the patchnodes.

heavy dove
#

Already tried uploading a world with tags 👍

vocal shard
#

The tags work?

floral aspen
#

Use animators?! But that takes work!

rigid crescent
#

so imma take it that you didn't read the announcement page No it did

heavy dove
#

Tags work

hasty wedge
#

guys the new update broke my gpu

vocal shard
#

it's funny because it doesnt

placid idol
#

animators?

hasty wedge
#

who do i go to sue?

vocal shard
#

Shit man, I already tagged my meme avatars as nsfw even when they werent

placid idol
#

like the custom ones?

vocal shard
#

you use an animator instead of an animation component and you don't need to change the file type, so it's even less work really.

#

@vocal shard tag for worlds only not avatars

cold talon
#

oh wow slow mode enabled maidLuleyes

floral aspen
#

Was responding to LoneEevee, Jamie

vocal shard
#

Of course slowmode is enabled

supple python
#

Lol slowmode, never seen it before

floral aspen
#

It would be chaos without slowmode lol

vocal shard
#

It's like a kindergarten teacher looming over you with a stick

#

Time out Jimmy

cold talon
#

well its the first time i see it enabled here

compact river
#

tbh it got more active after slow mode

rigid crescent
#

because of the update

Merging accounts seems to be working very well, instantly loaded in my worlds and avatars, offline friend took a while to load but eventually came up.

It said it might take up to 1 hour after i merged it though.

Where does OBS store recordings by default?

i think it stores them on your hard disk

Put people in the groups and it won't be empty anymore GWnanamiThumbsUp

@umbral reef should be an option inside of OBS to open the recording folder

@magic osprey according to a previous comment from Tupper, yes

Goddamit I dont know which clever marketing trainee came up with that account merging idea

How will it be abused?

Yes it's a good thing

how would you abuse that?

Vrchat just allowed people to create dispensable accounts freely for vrc

Oh boy can confirm rank going up after merging accounts
gone from Known user to Trusted.

placid umbra
#

🤔

vast tulip
#

what, how?

vocal shard
#

They can't know if a steam user is accessing two accounts on the same machine because valve keeps such information hidden

lunar willow

? 🤔 ¿

umbral reef
#

And how does that result in being abused?

lunar willow
#

¿? 🤔 ¿?

vocal shard
#

Trolls can have an insane amount of alts that wont be banned along with the original account because vrc can never know they're alts

my trust score declined from trusted to user whatislife

With steam account merging vrc can't see that information and cannot accurately detect alts

merging is the new feature, which essentially deletes the steam account

and moves friends, trust score etc to a VRC account

So far no one has give a new way anything could be abused compared to how things were before this change

Exactly how? Does it just straight up remove your steam account credentials or do they get incorporated into a different account?

I think people don’t understand steam accounts were already in

hows "no u" an answer to that? lmaoepic

no u

Because if they get removed, how the hell do playtime and friends pass over?

Ah that's why my now merged account says "known user" instead of trusted user, like it was before.

@languid beacon they were in yes, but they now can just go instantly into vrchat full user with no vetting whatsoever

weary bison
#

that's the same as making a new VRC account

vast tulip
#

how would they do that?

vocal shard
#

By merging

weary bison
#

you still gotta rank up to upload content

twin jacinth
#

Svel where are you when i need you god damit

vocal shard
#

Time and friends pass over, which are both elements in rank

vast tulip
#

but the vrchat account is still a vrchat account

rugged carbon
#

Hi how are you all

weary bison
#

merging a steam account that hasn't been used won't give you any rank

vast tulip
#

so how would having steam accounts that cant be tracked easily (if thats even true, which I also doubt) merged into an easy to track account help at all? now that new vrchat account that was just merged into is easily tracked, so they lost all benefits of what you claim a steam account provides

north axle
#

Oh man, I just joined. Am I too late for toxic reactions?

vocal shard
#

What prevents anyone from getting a used alt steam account then merging that to a vrc account in order to get instantly back into action

#

i need help

compact river
#

whats toxic about it>?

queen mango
#

@north axle Probably not

cold talon
#

@north axle you are just in time for slow mode tho

umbral reef
#

Right now if a user does not use a steam acc and instantly used a VRC acc it would be the same... It just prevents users from being punished when they not instantly make a VRC account

north axle
#

Yay.

vocal shard
#

It provides users with a way to "game" the system by farming with a steam account

#

guys i need help xd

weary bison
#

that's the same as having an alt VRC account to begin with

cold talon
#

@vocal shard we all do

compact river
#

playtime does not do much for your rank

vocal shard
#

@cold talon no i cant upload avatars wtf

queen mango
#

@north axle Alert: There is a canny regarding an issue in which avatar and emote sounds are missing

weary bison
#

farming isn't really the way to rank up, you have to actually play and participate

vocal shard
#

But doesn't having a save state account defeat that purpose?

north axle
#

@queen mango Is it new? What is it this time?

sudden nacelle
#

not the yadas

compact river
#

yata

twin jacinth
#

Not everyone does the research to actually find out that you require a vrchat account to upload content, so for those who has invested a lot of hours (300-400) into their steam account and has a lot of friends over there makes this update perfect, finding out that the vrchat account resets everything didn't really motivate me to merge over, and i think this will motivate a lot of users to actually merge over to vrchat account that eventually creates more users that will potentially create content

weary bison
#

it being tied to steam doesn't really mean anything

umbral reef
#

What counts as a good enough report when it comes to names and is there like a more clear rule/guideline for what names are a no no?

cold talon
#

ill make a canny to keep slow mode on nikofingerguns

queen mango
#

@north axle It's new. But the bug isn't

#

It's been there since Open Beta came out

heavy dove
#

New settings page looks much nicer, and I can actually see my entire mic input device name. Also nice work 👌

vocal shard
#

It means simply that one can play the game just to rank up then leave the account to rot, but it'll still be there to be used as backup with this new system

#

It's like giving vrchat alts a second layer of inspection

vast tulip
#

then, they marge into the easily found vrchat account, and are banned very shortly

north axle
#

Most reasonable Canny posts should be about performance these days.

vocal shard
#

How?

vast tulip
#

how are people canned when they make a 2nd vrchat account?

vocal shard
#

Does vrc access steam account information?

#

How will they know the steam account was created on the same device

vast tulip
#

youre suggesting that making a new vrchat account gets you banned easily so people will make a new steam account

#

so whatever it is that makes you think making a steam account is safer is lost when they marge

vocal shard
#

It's viciously protected by valve

#

how to fix the "error updateing content. unity package upload failed. failed to optimize file for upload."

vast tulip
#

merge*

weary bison
#

in VRC's case, "steam accounts" are just VRC accounts that use your steam login status instead of a password

surreal rover
#

marge :)

north axle
#

VRChat isn't Valve.

vast tulip
#

they dont need to know the steam account was made on the same device. they will know the vrchat account they marge into was

weary bison
#

it's not querying valve's servers for your VRC info

vocal shard
#

Vrchat cant force valve to hand over steam account information js

vast tulip
#

and I also have no idea if any of this is true about steam accounts being "Safer"

vocal shard
#

They will never know if the account was associated with this device before unlike a vrc account

vast tulip
#

yeah, as far as I know, a steam and vrchat account are the same thing, its jsut that it uses a different way to log in

#

your steam vrchat account isnt stored in valve at all

north axle
#

In fact, I'd say VRChat is pretty much the opposite of Valve, except one thing — they update their games only once in a few weeks.

vocal shard
#

It's a steam account?

#

can somebody just help me real quick please..

#

Are you actually saying steam accounts are not steam accounts but just names and passwords

weary bison
#

it's a guest account that uses your steam client for verification

vocal shard
#

That zero information is stored

#

So how the fuck do you get playtime and friends stored

#

okay shitty support

weary bison
#

same way as a VRC account

compact river
#

its stored on vrchats side

north axle
#

Not zero, but rather "just as much as you'd expect on a regular VRC account, except you can't use the SDK".

covert chasm
#

@vocal shard Steam accounts are basically VRChat accounts that use Steam for authentication. Technically speaking, their data are precisely the same as VRChat accounts aside from some restrictions.

vast obsidian
#

Yo I just went from steam account to vrchat account, (merged). Is my rank going to go up to what it was before or am I going to stay as a visitor and going to have to play my way up?

twin jacinth
#

Just write the question lyze and someone might answer you

north axle
#

There's only one difference, your PFP.

#

And a random code in the end.

vocal shard
#

@twin jacinth i did allready

#

And some restrictions are if vrc can see who used the account and when

#

So you dont know who did what

#

ill ask again.

how to fix the "error updateing content. unity package upload failed. failed to optimize file for upload."

compact river
#

its still a vrchat account

vocal shard
#

@vast obsidian it will combine the stats and alppy it to a rank

#

And basically undid your entire system

#

Anyone else having problems with avatar sounds?

compact river
#

that data is the same just log in another way

vast obsidian
#

@vocal shard Alright thanks bro

twin jacinth
#

aah i didn't see it sorry
there's a new SDK might be the reason? not sure though i dont have that much experience there

vocal shard
#

Golden. Just golden.

weary bison
#

@vast obsidian it takes a while to merge, if you're stuck as a lower rank than you used to be after a few hours send an email to support@vrchat.com.

umbral reef
#

But do ya need a outputlog to report a users name 🤔
Or is just a screencap of the user when selected good enough?

weary bison
#

output logs help pinpoint the exact user, but screenshots are often good enough

umbral reef
#

Welp time to wait with the report then as i aint gonna ruin my upoad speed for a few minutes to report right now with the loggs

vast tulip
#

from what I understand, none of valves "security" has anything to do with your steam vrchat account. anything they know about the account of a real vrc account, they know about the steam one. steam is just a way to change how you log into it. nothing with your account is stored on valves servers

weary bison
#

logs compress really well if you put them in a .zip or .7z

vocal shard
#

"Vrchat accounts are the same as steam accounts, nothing is different except login"
"Vrchat accounts are the same as steam accounts, but there are some restrictions and we can't access the account's entire information because it belongs to a completely different company."

compact river
#

PING

vast obsidian
#

Oh great, LOL

vocal shard
#

And it's already broken

compact river
#

o i need to quick merge so i can derank myself

vast obsidian
#

that's what I get for already merging

weary bison
#

the restriction is that you can't upload content, all info is stored the same as vrc accounts

vast obsidian
#

LMAO

vocal shard
#

Can't update anything without breaking it.
The life of programming.

#

Oof

#

I told you, vrchat doesnt know jack shit about what they've gotten themselves involved in

twin jacinth
#

What happens with those who already merged? will they unmerge and we have to re-merge it after the update has been pushed out again?

vast tulip
#

those restrictions arent on vrchat :P no, the restrictions are on players

vocal shard
#

So basically

gilded haven
#

you know i have a small question so i have around 428 hours on vrchat when does my nameplate turn purple?

compact river
#

nop

vocal shard
#

I merged during the beta a few days ago Jasyidk

#

Vrchat can access your entire steam account

gilded haven
#

do i Have to upload a world

weary bison
#

you're missing the point

vocal shard
#

If they want to

weary bison
#

a steam account on vrchat isn't the same as your actual steam account

vocal shard
#

You say the restrictions are end user only

#

No you don't need to upload a world for trusted @gilded haven

gilded haven
#

i think your being paranoid

weary bison
#

it's a dummy vrchat account created with your steam account's name

gilded haven
#

also thank you

weary bison
#

nothing else is accessed

queen mango
#

@vocal shard It was an issue since the Open Beta came out.
Only now did the issue became prevalent

vocal shard
#

So how the hell does it track if its just a name and a password?

vast tulip
#

vrchat knows what steam account made the steam vrchat account. thats all they need to know to make oyu log into the steam vrchat account. after that login, the steam vrchat account no longer has or needs any connection with steam (other then getting your avatar picture)

weary bison
#

same as a vrchat account

gilded haven
#

isnt this basicly signing into a place using google?

vocal shard
#

A vrchat account is constantly accessed by the game

civic plume
#

oooh update

vocal shard
#

These people say the steam accounts are no longer needed

civic plume
#

to bad i’m at work ugh

gilded haven
#

eh its not that big of an update

civic plume
#

damn there’s a timer now lol

vocal shard
#

Like I dunno, maybe get coherent?

worldly comet
#

the steam account is used to create a "dummy" vrchat account, basically

compact river
#

^

civic plume
#

anything i should know about the update?

gilded haven
#

thats completly understandable with 2000+ people in a discord server

weary bison
#

the actual purpose of steam accounts in vrchat is to allow new users to play without manually creating an account

compact river
#

as you cant use your steam login for the sdk

weary bison
#

it's a guest/demo system

vocal shard
#

So

covert chasm
#

blobfacepalm I can't believe this is still going on. There is more friction to creating a new Steam account versus creating a new VRChat account. You're concerned about a vector-- which is good-- but we've already considered it, and it really doesn't enable any behavior that users haven't been able to do so far.

vocal shard
#

You arent merging a steam account at all

#

You lied

weary bison
#

yeah, you're merging a steam vrchat account

vocal shard
#

No you're merging a dummy

This conversation GWchiakiVanillaPray Boi

#

account data + account data

covert chasm
#

Merging is basically taking the data from the "Steam" VRChat account (which is basically a VRChat account that auths through Steam), and adding it together with a VRChat account. We don't take any other data other than VRChat data, because.. that's all we really have and all we really use.

vocal shard

They could've done this on day one

I'm getting a headache from this lol.

#

You literally had the chance to do all of this on day one

vast tulip
#

when you log in using steam, it creates a new vrchat account. this account IS a vrchat account. the difference is how you log into it. also, this type of account has restrictions on the player. The account is managed exactly the same in all ways on vrchat's side of things.

compact river
#

if you really want to see it look at the api for your person accounty

umbral reef
#

Cool to know you understand how there game and server works rin
As yea- They COULD have done it. They could have also made the trust system ages ago
But they didnt because prioities

vocal shard
#

Sure

wheat moth
compact river
#

yes but its slow

vocal shard
#

Add camera filters first, security system later

vale epoch
#

Is it safe to use vrchat

weary bison
#

@vocal shard It might be difficult get your message across on Discord. You can always send an email to hello@vrchat.com and be as descriptive as you need to, and it'll be looked at by someone on the team.

umbral reef
#

Legit anything can be done months ago- But making things takes time
And you cant make everything at the same time
So you gotta pick things to do first

civic plume

is it safe to be here

tacit plank

And sometimes things have issues

twin jacinth
#

Yeah safe for now

tacit plank
#

And will need to be disabled and worked on lol

umbral reef
#

There only recently came a big request of merging accounts after the upload restrictions
So its not odd they didnt do it before the filters and security update

vocal shard
#

What I was concerned about was the ease and exploitivity of steam accounts, which made an insanely huge loophole in the system

umbral reef
#

There is no loophole

vocal shard
#

Were they ever at that point though?

wheat moth
#

One question I have, will steam users be restricted from using avatar pedistals in private rooms? 🤔

vocal shard
#

But that's a "strange hill to die on"

weary bison
#

that part is fine, don't worry about it

compact river
#

how did it make a loophole? thats that everyone is wondering

umbral reef
#

@wheat moth They already are

vast tulip
#

or, you also understand that things take time and also people arent all working on the same things. you make the sarcastic comment about camera filters before security, but why do you assume the security wasnt under development at that time and someone unrelated to the security update made the filters?

covert chasm
#

It is easier to create a new VRChat account than it is to create a new Steam account.

weary bison
#

if something does come up, it can be reported via the canny or the moderation email

civic plume

how about we go get a coffee

It is harder to get a group of steam alts banned than it is to get a group of vrchat alts banned

i want coffee

empty wharf

Y’all just need to chill, they doin work.

vale epoch
#

Yknow, I could work on the website, but I couldn’t do shit about camera filters. It’s not just a matter of priorities and development bandwidth, but also what type of bandwidth they have

compact river

they are all vrchat accounts tho

vocal shard

I mean the actual steam accounts

vale epoch

Not saying that’s what happened, but that’s something to consider

weary bison

yeah that's fine

empty wharf

Let the mods do their thing, don’t affect your lives so don’t make it a problem.

you dont know that rin. youre just making that up and guessing

No actually

civic plume

OMG TODAY IS THE BEST DAY EVER MY BOSS IS OFF FOR 1 month!!

vocal shard
#

I read the announcement

umbral reef
#

@vale epoch Never said i agree with why they did what and when... Far from really
But claiming this could have been done months ago is kinda dumb imo, there was no point in adding this before the locking of who can upload
And then the requests to make this was not even that high untill the most recent update

vocal shard
#

It said "steam accounts"

civic plume
#

i’m sorry that was irrelevant

#

🤥

twin jacinth
#

Easier to understand when it says that you are merging the steam account and the vrchat account

empty wharf
#

Better subject than what we’re talking about Monty

lucid tangle

what vein said lul

vocal shard

Do I think of "dummy vrc accounts" when I think "steam accounts"?

civic plume

i need to merge these UPS cabinets together at work but the bus bars have to be exactly aligned

Hey guys, remember when we could hear in game?

So steam means dummy vrc

umbral reef

Those nicknamed Dummy VRC accounts are officialy called within Steam accounts

fleet ice

you think that menu stays with ya in VR ?

i think if everyone stops talking rin will have to stop ranting and we can all enjoy the peace and quiet and not this pointless convo thats happen rn lul

vale epoch

how is it not clear? youre just arguing about semantics at this point. I'm pretty sure 99% of everyone knows what a "steam account" is with vrchat

Most use it because they don't want to change over. Now they can actually copy their friendslist

civic plume
#

matrix mode? thonking thonk

compact river
#

dont speak the name

vocal shard
#

Allow lazy people to move one or two users with one click instead of three

empty wharf
#

I didn’t mind refriending everyone when I switched to Vrchat account

civic plume
#

if matrix mode is on then i will dodge all this bullshit in this channel

tacit plank
#

Re-adding 100s of users is a lot of work

compact river
#

LOL

cyan torrent
#

who can i talk with about problems with sounds attached to controlers

compact river
#

yeets out

empty wharf
#

Well I tell you this much

vocal shard
#

Who uses a steam acccount long enough for 100 users?

umbral reef
#

It also brings over earned trust points and does not reset the user 100-
Also, needing to favorite avatars and ect again

empty wharf
#

I did

vocal shard
#

You're just exaggerating at this point

umbral reef
#

Plenty do rin, not everyone is instantly intrested about avatar making
And that is the main reason to use a VRC acc-

vast tulip
#

tons and tons of people use a steam account and have hundreds of friends. its not rare at all

tacit plank
#

Anyone who used it long enough for 50 and didn't want to switch over

empty wharf
#

And you’re beating a dead horse.

weary bison
#

can confirm

vale epoch
#

The amount of complaining that the poor devs get when the game is literally free ;-; I’m so sorry

umbral reef
#

There is a dude within #vrchat-general-1 that played for 300+ hours on a steam account... We have live proof of these users

vocal shard
#

That's what people said about the vet rank

#

And you saw what happened then

twin jacinth
#

is it me you're looking for? xD

civic plume
#

i’ve played 1300 hours lol

empty wharf
#

Either way, if you refriend people, but not all of them. That clearly means you don’t see them that often, it’s an easy flush of friends. Making the list smaller.

fleet ice
#

100s of users and i bet you play with 10% of them and all the others are spontaneous friendship requests

umbral reef
#

@twin jacinth Jup- Was talking about you

tacit plank
#

I've seen multiple Steam users with 500+ hours. I have like 400 on mine

twin jacinth
#

Can't edit my comment

vocal shard
#

Rin, I know a bunch who have hundreds of hours on steam accounts. It makes sense to be able to merge and not have to start over again

compact river
#

i try and stay away from the random requests now days

vocal shard
#

Let's all risk the game's security for people with little to no lives

placid umbra
#

Please mail your concerns to hello@vrchat.com. You're making a lot of assumptions about things, it's not an issue.

empty wharf
#

Aev to the rescue, stand in salute gentlemen and ladies.

vocal shard
#

Sure, fine and dandy to let them simply skip ahead to the top of the pile

umbral reef
#

This guy is to dense and im way to tired GWtogaTheSaddest Can we just change topics and ignore all this

civic plume
#

hey aev 😄

tacit plank
#

Where's the security issue for copying over friends now? What are you on about Rin?

weary bison
#

it's fine, just chill

placid umbra
#

Don't egg it on, we're moving past this

vale epoch
#

🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

compact river
#

even if you merged in a ton of accounts into 1 vrchat account that play times wont help you rank

umbral reef
#

So how has everyone's VR day been 👏

cyan torrent
#

a streamer friends sounds that were tired to ther controller were all removed on every avatar and ther is no clear way for it to be fixed is there anyone i can speak with

compact river
#

people have tons of playtime and are not trusted in some cases

umbral reef
#

Made new friends yet?
Found that waifu?
Got that new avatar running yet?

vale epoch
#

Sadly lacking in VR because I’m a dumbass with a job ;-;

vocal shard
#

Time to get banned from vrchat discord

fleet ice
#

where can is send suggestion again?

tacit plank
#

Legacy animatioons were removed in some version

rigid crescent
#

I mean I think it's because you're wrong, not because you did something wrong lol

vocal shard
#

Way to go handling security concerns

umbral reef
tacit plank
weary bison
#

send an email, that's what it's for

compact river
#

you could just explain what your problem is but you just want to rant and no one understands what your on about

#

]thats why they asked you to explain in email but you kept at it

umbral reef
#

@cyan torrent Its a reported bug right now
Nothing can be done about it beside sit tight and wait untill its fixed

vocal shard
#

They never answer emails

weary bison
#

speaking of which, I'm surprised there aren't more people asking why their rank went down

cyan torrent
#

ok so teh sound has been adressed as a bug

vocal shard
#

That's the point of "send an email"

twin jacinth
#

They answer though 🤷

vale epoch
#

I should get back to making avatars tbh

umbral reef
#

Why am i not veteran yet :^) Help me noe

rigid crescent
#

what would happen if they responded to your email?

compact river
#

want me to be test subject now

cyan torrent
#

thats all i needed to know thank you

vocal shard
#

They never answer user reports

twin jacinth
#

I've had them answer within 30 mins of sending the mail, and sometimes a few days it all depends.

placid umbra
#

As the guy that answers a lot of emails, I'm telling you to send an email to have it addressed.

rigid crescent
#

What's the difference between reading them and responding? Your goal is to make sure they saw it, correct?

weary bison
#

emails are 100% guaranteed to be read by the right people

rigid crescent
#

Do you just want that "Wow, good find Rin, thanks!" asspat?

vast tulip
#

@weary bison ive seen people say their rank went up

vocal shard
#

If user reports can slip unnoticed

#

What makes you think a random email will be answered

rigid crescent
#

again, why does it matter if they're answered. being read is what matters if it's a bug report or concern

cyan torrent
#

im just trying to relay a message from someone currently streaming with a problem but if its being addressed i wont bother anyone any further

vocal shard
#

Or even read

placid umbra
#

Emails to moderation aren't always responded to, it's explained in the reply when you send one.

covert chasm
#

Because you're chatting with the guy that answers most of the emails. facepalm

elfin cloak
#

hi
how i will be able to upload worlds and avatars
from VRCHAT to VRCHAT STEAM (upgraded to vrchat) account

compact river
#

that ingame report button does not do much that i know of

vocal shard
compact river
#

might be wrong

rigid crescent
#

"No one reads them." "Hi, we're two guys that read them." OK so now you're wrong, now what?

covert chasm
#

@elfin cloak Once you've gained the appropriate Trust Rank, you log into the SDK using your VRChat name and your password that you set.

vocal shard
#

Now I send an email and watch as it rots

covert chasm
#

If someone merged their account and got a result of a lower Trust Rank, please DM me your VRChat username affected.

rigid crescent
#

Rin, why does your email need a response if it's something that you want to notify them about ,which simply needs to be read?

surreal rover
#

tupper i miss your vids :(

fleet ice
#

i never got good answers when i was writing an email seriously...neither about the trust rank, or questions about the current status about anti cheat tools, or hidden SDK information about an extra version of SDK for developers and so on, sorry dev's......

vocal shard
#

I dont want an answer

rigid crescent
#

OK then, why does it matter if they're responded to?

cyan torrent
#

is there a area that has known problems so i can relay the message

rigid crescent
#

"Hey Ruuubick, I've noticed that this button doesn't work." and eventually it's read. You don't need a response for that.

vocal shard
#

I want them to read it and actually acknowledge the concerns
but when you see frequently reported users walk free you are unsure of the fact if they read all emails or no

elfin cloak
#

gained the appropriate Trust Rank?
from who?
it's only me and my same migrated steam to vrchat account

#

i am little confused

weary bison
#

@elfin cloak do you know what rank you are?

umbral reef
elfin cloak
#

yes

#

so what do i need to do to my self?

placid umbra
#

@cold talon Hey, can you DM me your VRChat username?

weary bison
#

what's your current rank?

elfin cloak
#

TU

weary bison
#

then you're good

elfin cloak
#

ty

weary bison
#

you can log in via the SDK and upload content

rigid crescent
#

I think he wants to know how to actually upload an avatar

#

maybe?

elfin cloak
#

yes upload content...but i dont know how to send my content to another person (me)

vale epoch
#

elfin cloak
#

ah what? is that what i need to find in unity?

rigid crescent
#

have you ever uploaded an avatar before

elfin cloak
#

yes

rigid crescent
#

then they should be on your account?

elfin cloak
#

and world as well

cyan torrent
#

@umbral reef thank you this helpped alot and i fwded the message to the effected party

umbral reef
#

Np- Can always ask for help in here and if no one responds fast enough just check #faq or #vrchat-support

cyan torrent
#

i try to help out streamers that dont know how to contact the devs or support. so ill prob be here alot relaying messages in the future

vale epoch
#

Anyone have easy world dev ideas I could do to get my feet wet in the process?

rigid crescent
#

a box with a mirror

surreal rover
#

you like wet feet?

queen mango
vale epoch
#

LOL yes okay box with mirror

opaque hawk
#

@vale epoch a hangout world made with unity generated boxes

vocal shard
#

Box, but all the walls are mirrors

opaque hawk
#

@vocal shard noooo

unkempt cliff
#

I heard sounds are broken on avatars. Is this true? I’ve seen people reporting it on the canny

cyan torrent
#

yes

queen mango
#

Yes

opaque hawk
#

I hear it has to do with onsp

elfin cloak
#

no you'r little wrong about it
because i have vrchat account with another name and that account was created preety nearly
like before 5 or 6 months i dont remember
and that account was deducated for avatar and world creation
and now i have this aportunity to transfer my steam into a vrchat non steam.

so i need to know how to upload my unity content from vrchat another name to my steam i mean now vrchat deferent name

unkempt cliff
#

I don’t have onsp on my avatar’s sounds. I haven’t tested it yet but when I get home I will

opaque hawk
#

Onsp gets added to everything upon upload

unkempt cliff
#

Not for me.

#

Then again I have not updated my sdk in a while, if I did, it probably would get added.

weary bison
#

@elfin cloak you should be able to reupload to your main account

rigid crescent
#

You just have to do everything manually and detach all the blueprints

covert chasm
#

Posting again: If you merged your Steam account into your VRChat account and got a lowered rank, please DM me with your VRChat username.

unkempt cliff
#

Also mirrors should be fixed.. for my worlds and some other worlds I’ve seen, the mirror reflection is darker than the world and sometimes, it’s darker enough to make avatars seem pitch black. I don’t know any settings in the mirror prefab to fix something like that but I might be stupid.

near mango
#

Upgrading without merging should have been fine though right?

opaque hawk
#

@unkempt cliff you don’t have lights enabled or you don’t have light probes or mixed lighting

placid umbra
#

Upgrading without merging?

unkempt cliff
#

I have all three of those

neat ferry
#

@covert chasm Can i DM it right now?

near mango
#

Also if you already have a vrchat account connected can you disconnect it and upgrade to a new account?

opaque hawk
#

No you have to have overlooked one of those things

placid umbra
#

Er

neat ferry
#

I merged my steam with vrchat acc and somehow my rank in steam went User to New User.

placid umbra
#

Send your username to Tupper or myself

compact river
#

thats what i wanted to happen

near mango
#

DM Tupper @neat ferry

compact river
#

but no 😦

placid umbra
#

Merges can't be disconnected later @near mango

neat ferry
#

alright.

unkempt cliff
#

Nope, I have lights enabled, they’re mixed, and I have a light probe surrounding the entire world, including the mirrors.

near mango
#

Its not connected/merged yet

neat ferry
#

Okay i DM'd Tupper.

#

hopefully this issue will be resolved.

near mango
#

The point I'm getting at is that I never use the account I already have connected to vrchat since I don't like the name so I'd rather just upgrade my steam account to a new one, but I haven't done the merge process yet

placid umbra
#

Ah yeah

weary bison
#

could also ask for a name change

near mango
#

Oh okay

vocal shard
#

so do we know when the sound bug will be fixed?

near mango
#

I'll play it by ear then I guess

unkempt cliff
#

So yeah. My mirrors don’t work properly and I have all the lighting things necessary

umbral reef
#

@vocal shard Nothing is announced about it yet- Just sit tight

vocal shard
#

ye really hope they fix it soon lmao i was in the middle of avatar testing xD

neat ferry
#

I always getting a bug that i have to redownload the map.

#

like it finished downloading, then it resets to 0% again.

#

i waited for like 3 times and it still resets, i gave up downloading the map.

compact river
#

clearing local data fixes that for me

weary bison
#

I've never seen that before

#

yeah try clearing your cache

tacit plank
#

Can mirrors work like cameras? That'd probably make them run better

compact river
#

can you link that support thing with the copy paste cmd?

#

idk its location

vast tulip

@tacit plank cameras are 2D
