@languid beacon Wouldn't restarting steam be better?
Merry Christmas vrchat i probably wont see any of u the next couple days so saying it now :)
:0 is that one thing fixed tupper or nah
Didn't trigger it for me, @still lark
¯_(ツ)_/¯

It also gave people 8 hours to make chairs
guess I should install this new unity version so I can get on making stuff, 5th unity version here i come
@languid beacon or cars
so if we break it, just document it and email it? canny seems like a bad idea since thats just a guide
or mechs!
Everyone just get ready to blow the discord with complaints about your framerate
Omg mechs i never thought of that omg!!! @remote drum
Chairs was leaked for ages.
😄
Make a canny and email it to hello@ is probably not a bad idea
I sure hope my avatars don’t got a bad rating
if they have 4 million materials, expect it to
I hope mine is at least medium
@empty wharf i rate it 11/10 IGN
Let him cry.
or a chair on the hand for the little avatars
they'll probably mostly be marked as poor
I hope mine are all poor
@umbral oracle Well making a canny detailing how an exploit works is most likely a bad idea is what I mean.
No guarantees, but I was just in a room with 40 people and all avatars showing, still had 45 fps
Mine should be poor like me irl
oh shet
Lmao
fixed many bugs in 8 hours ahaha
There's been big IK perf improvements in this
oh shnap
@placid umbra what cpu u use
does that mean colliders on every bone
/s
Well I’ll have to check this out

@rigid crescent Emails are fine for bug reports if it's sensitive like that
im just chilling on my i7-2600 still
6700k
im a broke boy
I dont think i need to worry about getting poor on my henshins
I mean if they're not willing to understand it's not the end of the world, then you can't do anything but let them realize it themselves.
Think a ryzen 5 2600x will be good for vrchat?
@crystal plover His animations still work just like before
Their avatars all work just fine.
However im just worried of people blocking me for em when they see red star
more then enough in my opinion
hi Aev how you doing
@royal basin If an avatar does cool stuff, but is marked poor, I don't really care as a viewer.
Best i can tell you is make an alternate version without all the big stuff on it
But that's just me.
O good @half apex im using a amd fx 6300 atm
that'll be a BIG increase
I hope my furbies rate as green 😃
my poor child
well i've been bitter enough for one day, gonna get in VR 👌 good to see a bunch of unfamiliar names on the discord tho
i see how it is aev 
@half apex with fullbody hahahahaha
xd
He can keep doing it, Green. Nothing in the system prevents hisavatars from doing cool stuff
To be honest i think they should have implemented the performance ranking system as numbers instead of icons
Thanks a lot though i feel a bit better about this
It ranks his avatar low, which if he's doing big effects, everyone already knew lol
there where a bunch of concerns with public avatar cloning and Im sure not a lot of people got to test the feature in only 8 hours
I can already see so many people being blocked gust because they used an avatar
Now i can spawn a chair with my avatar to do fullbody "stuff" on person on chair?
The limits are pretty friendly, even if they end up hardcapped one day
Woahwoah
Like what Floober? Most I saw were socially related ones, like people sharing crash avatars which was already possible.
Would you want numbers cluttering your screen whenever you look at someone
Hard cap would be the worst idea
@crystal plover tell them peoples framerates and experience in VR are overall more important to the community than fancy animations. They can still make cool avatars and aims but just needs to be more careful about when and where they show them to others.
what is the point of the performance system if most avatars are rated poor anyways 
easter egg avatars was the primary concern
so you know who to block @modest halo
sketchu has locked all her avatars private because we have no middle ground as creators
So u can block them
Yeah, that's also true as a concern.
@sick cobalt been a long week but I'm very glad it's out
No
Why is every avatar in every room red?
@modest halo Most aren't poor. I was just in a room with 35-40 people and some were medium, a few Poor, mostly Good
!cleancache try that
You can clean cache by deleting everything within C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat apart from output_log.txt and config.json if you have them
@cold saddle not any different then when safety features came out
yeah could tell lol, noticed you peeps where on the closed beta alot
Because it judges people by literally one thing
@lone thicket Avatar cloning has been in focus testing much longer than that, it's just only been in the open beta for a bit.
No, I mean their circles.
So much testing was done. lol
it's not an average like it should be
open beta may have been short, but this release had a ton of testing
yeah I was on the closed beta memeing around from the start right til the finish
I know if someone has blocked my avatar by just sitting down. If they look down when talking to me I'm not blocked. If they blocked me I block them 
o.o ton of testing.......
there are still so many issues
Memeing around ...
it was the most fun i've had in VRChat for a while in general lol
Yeah focus testing doesn't matter when no one in the focus group cared about easter egg avatars
and Im not sure why no middle ground for avatars could not be implemented
Think this update should have been a little bit more delayed
@golden violet same if im blocked i block them too
The beta was way tok short
Mmm.
Too*
Im happy it happened, now I can make my avatars once im not busy
most of the avatars i've seen so far are poor/very poor
This is just the 1.0 of avatar cloning, they're likely to build upon it over time
there is no point in making maps for avatars when people can just get them off their friend
like the whole hook of having a map full of hidden avatars is gone
Should make a way to announce to everyone playing there is an update so people realize they need to update so they can see their dang friends.
Vrooooooooom thats the sound of my new car avatar
i dont think it'll be too big a deal
I don’t know why, but when I got on today a few hours ago, it feels like my descriptor moved forward. I could see the inside of my fingers if I got close enough which I could not even do before since the headset would block my hand. I don’t really know what happened but I didn’t notice any changes in Unity. Hoping I don’t need to reupload all my stuff.. again.
lol wow everyone's avatar including mine i've seen are all poor/verypoor
^
Rip
everyone will just ignore it imo
i dont see any frame drops with my avatar tho
L2 optimize
that's why i think it was pointless to add this system
^
It is not pointless
^^^
At least I wont be judged for having very poor
The game is literally unplayable right now
^^^^^^^^
If people want to optimize they can, if they ignore it w/e
But needs a diffrent way to show the performance
its point less
bro can we like start prompting people to update their games in vrchat when their is an update
^^^
^^^
How is it unplayable
I was getting 45 fps before this shit update, and now i'm getting 15
put it in your socail menu for now
@idle cipher Of course you wont, it's just you, but when there's 30-40 of you it gets bad.
I've been crashing since the update before this, still crashing a lot.
I just wanted to put ^^^
People are going to work to improve their avatars now
In a month it won't be all red
Can't load anything either.
helo me name raheem me get 91 pfs now me get 2 chickens
my name jeff
@gloomy sequoia Have you been reporting the crashes at all?
roll back pls and keep it there
Not just ranting in Discord.
@gilded valley pfs? Whats dat
Making the game run like shit on purpose to get people to optimize their avatars is not the way.
True.
i know i'll be optimizing some current, and all future avatars from this point on.
On purpose
How is a red star have anything to do with the game running well
LOL
@vocal shardwhy do i have u blocked hmm?
saaaaah dude
Not going to entertain trolling, if you have feedback send it in an email @rough flax
@molten hornet Thanks for reminding me to block you
Mmm.
Hmm
Seems I missed something whups
Constructive feedback is consdered trolling now 
Just gives me reason to return the favor and be cordial
🤔
There are indicators on what causes the ranking though
Update went live eevee...
Can drama go to #general-media @vocal shard @molten hornet ? 🤔
Must be cause of how u act i guess
Ik that Jamie
@placid umbra https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/525545290074423298/525545495180083210/unknown.png how do i get this to stop popping up
Mini mod spotted 
@covert chasm my mother says it's passed my bed time but i want to play this awesome update!!! what do i do ?
And I wish it stayed in beta longer
I can barely get into worlds, not sure if it's my internet or not.
That's whats up 
You know what follows
great idea ping admins
Too much dynamic bones, having colliders, too many skinned meshes, too big bounds, and too many materials
@vocal shard Would you rather a kick?
@vagrant bobcat join the dark side
and now i cant even log in after the new update
Gonna run on data since the internet here S U X
@gilded valley same problem here, for months. Just got used to clicking ok. Popup about installation helper when it already works. I'm on win7
And I love when this stuff haappens
Im gonna leave it at this. A bunch of creators who would like to have control over if avatars can be cloned only found out about this feature when it was PUBLICALLY announced yesterday and now the update has almost immediately left open beta and is live a few days later.
And when these creators raised their concerns they where told to wait till the feature is public and that a middle ground could not be implemented.
Im sorry but a bunch of us feel very alienated atm and we're not sure what to do.
So what did u all wish for xmas?
@gilded valley Comes up even after you click the button?
And is that the real MsteLink
im scared
is that the real lonebeevee
@placid umbra its been showing up again for the past month now no matter how many times i press ok, everytime i close the game it shows uup
@vagrant bobcat I wish
@lone thicket the usage of the private setting on avatars to prevent cloning by modded clients was announced months ago but maybe only in discord. I can't find the message so it may have been deleted
so the new avatar seats are out?
@gilded valley I'll need to look into the fix, can you send an email to support@vrchat.com and I'll follow up?
@umbral oracle ya it was
ight
@finite kraken i believe so
Thanks much
Mistake were made
Can we please clear something up?
I wish I was home so I could actually see what issues are happening
<--- This is an exclamation mark, not a red star.
Anyone u guys know how to uninstall a driver for steamvr? I tried playspace mover and cant use vr now cause of it
Adeon LOL
@umbral oracle
thats a security feature not this new public avatar cloning feature
Might as well be one
@placid umbra sent
Ya'll haven't even been in the game to know what the symbol is, stop complaining
O.o
Is he though
We all hide
it's literally a yellow dot lol
Kronik is back too
Lol me and a giant group had to close rn cause of the late night new update
shut up
Perfect timing
stop being a toxic meanie
Tf is going on
People are vote kicking people with more than 30 dynamic bone transforms, is this how the avatar stats system was intended to be used?
How am I being mean? Literally all I said was that you're back
LOL yeah the trust system had a rocky start and it normalized
dont worry about it
its just a knee jerk reaction everyones having
It will be a bit.... Shakey for a while
I guess that's being toxic 🤷
Just gonna stick to invite only worlds for a couple weeks
expecting people to not meme in the first day
Cringe
block list over 20,000 long
lmao
Lmao
Remember when people used to be able to sell avatars? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
you still can wut
Never ever go to public world again
^^^
I cant wait to make loli towers
Get demoted after an hour
@late dock I've never seen public world group lobbies manage to successfully kick a troll with bad avatar and mic spamming. So I'd be impressed if they vote kicked a red star aside from making fun of the system
people who buy avatars typically want something customized. this avatar sharing doesnt fill that gap
Cuz the block and vote kicked you
wat? I see people get kicked in public all the time
that has very little impact on your trust rank, if any at all.
like every time I go to public
i know people blocked by HUNDREDS and they were veteran
^ that
(and are still trusted btw)
@sick cobalt Can you explain though?
Only japanese people blocked me but that was when i was new
How do i type for vr chat
All I said was that you were back now and that's somehow toxic
you cant type ingame

lmao
i mean you are trying to be rude about it, its obvious lol, stop being a smart ass
I'm getting kicked? Well if I'm going, I'm going out in style? 🤸
My touhou and kemono friends modelllll
My mic is ass, so how do i talk in game without my mic
@vocal shard nooooo not here
Rude? Mk
you dont, @opaque comet

Ok thank you @rigid crescent

Also I'm not really tryna be smart about it either
Nooooooooo
I'm I just being the usual idiot I always am
ricardo
@sick cobalt nice profile pic m8
Let's not make this an emote spam
yeah xd
H*ntai :O
rip
Yeet
They actually did oof
Well then
how does the vrchat seating gestures work
Time to go to random chat then.
The Ruuubick has been summoned
Well i heard their gona improve this Avatar stats system sooo
I guess its worth a wait
All remaining cards get sent to #general-media
I mean I assume you just put a station on your avatar.
Besides i like this update
@umbral nova i play pot of greed
Unlike regular chairs, it can't have a trigger
Can't or doesn't require?
Avatars still can't have event handlers or triggers
And do chairs even require triggers in the first place?
I mean they never did, but that the most common type of chair was an OnInteract trigger
You can do other kinds I believe
Actually they strip triggers, and then add their own.
for avatars specifically you mean
Yeah
actually it won't let you upload it with a trigger anymore
it'll make you remove it
anymore? 🤔
Which is fine because it never worked any way
so is the chairs system out?
Yes chairs are live
i got the sdk but idk how to make the chairs gesture work
because if you hard limit creativity more people will get mad
these numbers for the rating system are terrible
@earnest harbor You gonna explain why or just leave it at that?
a single dynamic bone and it's ranked poor? nice.
No it isn't @earnest harbor
The numbers in paranthesis show you the "Excellent" threshold status. Really, just target for the medium ones.
so do i just add a world chair prefab to my model?
the target is 0
That won't work @finite kraken because you can't have triggers or events on avatars
Hi everyone I have a quick question does anyone know how to fix playspace mover after the update mine broke 😕
then how does one get the chair gesture if it's live
Yes, the Excellent Threshold for dynamic bones is 0. that doesn't mean having 1 makes you poor.
The target for very good is 0, but as you add more, the ranking goes down
The number in parenthesis is the recommended amount. You can have dynamic bones and still be "good" if they're limited. I'd recommend reading the page for it
I already don't like this update
how do you make avatars clonable
Make them public
Will the requirements for public WORLD avatars be changing at all? Maybe to match the Medium category? Maybe? 😛
Its an easier gateway for model stealers now
Whu?
lmao
I would suspect this is already the same system that was initially used for avatar stealing, which was patched up long ago.
Hard to steal without the unity files
well i'm just saying if they could just outright say "public worlds must have medium avatars or better" that would like, give us more dynamic bone colliders. ; )
@vocal shard I'd recommend sobering up first.
oh, apparently I do have one model that's not poor...
no
Most of my models were good or medium, happytimes
i'll sober up tomorrow when i have to be an adult but its DRUNK HOURS BABY


Aslong as you don't spam up this discord due to it.
only reason most of mine are in poor/very poor are dynamic bone transforms
you're right tho wrong channel but user support isn't helping
im going to like it how people use the system as a reason to block you completely, but i like to see how the system works 😃
check out bone merging @earnest harbor
Mine are currently in the poor category due to my one bone collider, so I suppose I have to do some tweaking.
you can often get the same visual result wiih less lag
bone collider
Oof.
insta block avatar
the beta is already live?
Patch is indeed live
Elire with that sweat emote
Already in live, Rin
its live on the normal ver
"Patch"
oh, no i actually have one that should be perfect...
how do they fix any current bugs? the beta was literally not too long ago
Its been in closed beta testing for several weeks
We're still waiting for that patch, people are reporting framerate issues
I don't think I'll stop making hand colliders a thing, touch in vr is fairly important imo
@velvet quarry You can have up to 4 dynamic bone colliders and remain Medium status.
if VRChat has a way to tell the number of polygons an avatar has, when why are avatars with more than 70,000 polygons still allowed and accessible? shouldn't they be at least "not allowed" to use or disabled/deleted?
@languid beacon Yeah, my problem is the collision calculation is hitting 10, which puts it down to Poor.
Limit to medium is 8
but at that point unity's gonna start splitting your meshes up and killing your shapekeys aka ey etracking and mouth movements so why would you even want to
so like people in the beta for several week were litteraly like "yeah no colliders seem like a good vr experience
" ? 
No it does not anymore.
@fathom nymph poly count doesnt affect performance. what kills it is too many skinned mesh renderers and materials
2017 doesn't split meshes
Welcome in unity 2017
dynaamic bones are nice but at least be considerate of frames man no colilders is reasonable
2017 will only split meshes into the millions, if not billions of polys, I don't recall the specific number
huh
2.5M still does not split.
You'd hardly need anything above 70k though, my primary avatar is 5k, and looks pretty good due to its normal maps.
wait what nice
I think it splits at like, 2.7 billion
^
@true sky if that's the case, then why does the SDK limit polygons rather than skinned mesh and materials?
should be like 2^31 iirc
the fact that you're starting witch hunts because of this....
at that point, multiple meshes is not your main concern lol
lol framerate issues? its litteraly worse then it was in 5.6 near the end (witch was already bad)
2017 improved sooo much in term of performance
and now we went back to square one
@fathom nymph Probably because after 65k polys, the mesh splits into two parts
creating a 2nd skinned mesh
from what i heard lego th enew update doesn't do that?
@velvet quarry It may be higher, but the highest integer I can recall would be 2,147,483,647
im drunk right now tho dont trust me
@true sky that no longer happens
in 2017 mesh poly limit in unity is 4billion XD
no longer 65535
oof people are trying to kick you for not having a very poor model and then there's also people trying to kick them
vrc battle royale
epic 😎
guess I'll take another break from vrc
does that surprise you?
Yes
still spoofing numbers btw
Just why? 
why not
people are petty
they're trying to make fun out of it in their own way I suppose
not as surprising as people being able to "force logout" other players
it's like when the trust system thing happened, people memeing and people doing it out of spite
so apparently having 1 dynamic bone is enough to have poor ranking? 
Nope
it's the transform that nukes rating
Aev plz be my friend in vrchat
i wanna hangout with u peeps every once in a while
how are you people even logging in me and like a billion other people can't even enter the game
@sick cobalt go to vrchat events if you want ot meet devs and people who know devs dorko
Why dont my flying colliders work anymore?? @placid umbra
i know aev
i'm just checking my main avatars. so that they aren't stigma'd by poor rating lol
sup
thank god they are good and medium 
@gilded valley I think a method of doing it was fixed/broken, it's definitely still possible
just have watch how much dyanmic bone you use
wtf
Wait... That update here already? I was just reading about it in the documentation like yesterday.
why was it changed???
It's a bug in the first place, these things aren't guaranteed to work
damn. i guess rip hair physics 
unless you want to run around with a very poor rating
So how many people have complained already with the stars?
only thing need to do reduce the bone in hair
If you sit on a station that is on the avatar of someone sitting on you, you get flung into space. This is your punishment for breaking physics. Workaround: Don't do this-- or do, and accept the wrath of Newton
all the ones where i put real hair physics on they are pretty much very poor
Why can not I see my friends?
in the menu or in the world?
Either they need to update VRC, or you do
so when can we get vrc classic?
@earnest harbor never update lol
if only 😦
hmmmm
I'm just soo happy I get to make my safety setting higher so I don't get crashed for using a public model that's ranked as very poor 
yea the public model that i use frequently is poor
only because of 13 dynamic bone collision counts
some with to many material or to many bone in skirt and hair
legit one of the only fun things about this game was being able to fly on my bird and now thats fucking gone too lmao
fuck this game
except people with logout crashers still bypass safety settings anyways
I enter the map on the friend or he enters mine and I do not see he did not understand why ??
system is a good idea. but it seems flawed
love how we alow them to still do that and witch hunt 👌
wait, you have 13 dynamic bone colliders?
a public avatar
one i like to use, has poor rating because of 13 dynamic bone collision check counts 
what they remove collider when touch your avatar?
all broken
I still find it odd that people make it seem that the performance rating is a bad idea
hm? i think it's a good idea
but idk if i'm "stealing frames" if i have 13 collision counts
@woven steppe it's that we wanted to see our own rating, not allow everyone else to see it
its sorta a problem with people who are picky and expect everyone to be very good performing
dude collision takes a bunch of cpu cycles even moreso than just havnig straight dynamic bones which are already a bane on our frames
so if you have a skirt and have a collider in your hip to make it not clip through, expect poor rating 
weight painting skirt to leg and and hair can make less bone do alot thing
you really don't need colliders if you do the mix of weight painting and bones the right way on skirts reeeee
I mean I could be reasonably certain of how good someone's avatar performs without it anyway but it just makes it easier now.
"Several people are typing" - The Channel
yeah cause half of us can't even log in so we're here
@woven steppe make it easier for crashers to justify their "job/crusade" you mean?
The funky part is that VRC has gone through two somewhat major updates and I still haven't finished the avatar I started making on the start of november
im getting ugandan knuckles flash back with this puclic avatar copying
and did you remove my post for saying gay im a fag irl reee
Eh, just be like the avatar status system, give it a 9/10. Extreme terrible and needs work.
cat plugin can reduce avatar with 30 material into 4
thats why you atlas reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I would love to see the avatar stats of the people who think its terrible :P
I would love to
And people say it's a good way to teach people how to optimize avatars. I ask how
force them to do it not be lazy lol
My favorite part of VRC is the calamity that is any major update.
well, my friend has an optimized avatar with 20k polys and his only dynamic bone are 3 hair bones with a collider in the head and it has a poor rating apparently
only 2 materials
no pepe emotes allowed @strange wagon 
Because you know, everything being good to great, but have 4 mesh renderers because I use my tail and ears for animations. So it's apparently bad.
@opaque jewel just combine into one mesh in blender
gomene 
I use them for animations.
its not going to teach you how to optimize. it's going to teach you you need to. #avatar-optimization can teach you how
So you tell me how to do that and make them disappear no problem and I'll do that.
@strange wagon the problem is >with a collider
colliders are checking every frame for the dynamic bone hitting it they're cancer
you can do just as good with good weight painting + just bones
it's like having three props.
This avatar I'm making is going to be very poor rating if I have to guess
And I wouldn't mind
the announcement thing when loading in is really small and cant read it
So how can I make it where just my ears and tail disappear?
in new update
idk if i want to spend time weight painting because i despise it
if its got really low polys, add some cloth 😃
@opaque jewel make them into blendshape
all i wanna say is i hope there's a better alternative for dynbones in the future
my main avatar doesn't use a collider. so my main avatar isn't gimped by the rating 
@opaque jewel that go in your head in your head and butt
@gilded valley my method of flying colliders still work
Thank you
none of ours work
Mine probably does still
just to let you know, not being a smartass. Just literally thank you
My friend Octuplex has the same setup
Didn't even think of that.
Since I sent him mine
literally every model i have that has it is shit now
He says it still work
You all realize that everyone is just going to ignore the whole rating system in a few weeks, right? I mean, except for you niche creators who really care about it.
Shit maybe just a few days
it just make for event host to know who make event lag
only people I'm worried about it are crashers
a lot of people who have a shit rig are probably gonna start blocking people with poor rating
None of my friends are bothered
@raven silo thank ye, sometimes takes more than one perspective and I'm just slightly annoyed by the system.
And the rating system will be refined and changed down the line ... This is more of a rough first version
since they'll use the rating system to justify their crusade
@vocal shard what's sad is we told them that the starting numbers were too harsh...
Now if the devs decide to implement and auto-block based on avatar perf rating, that would be fucked.
@opaque jewel it not like take your stuff away
but they didn't listen
They did they changed it already
yea update today
it's not based off overall, it's off lowest rating
@pliant prawn i can see that coming tbh
From the first reveal, it was discussed here and they upped it
@raven silo it's all good. It was more on the side of "I made sure to try and optimize this as best as possible and it's still apparently crap"
@opaque jewel i get that feel
so that just made me annoyed and blind a bit
i was expecting at least a medium
@earnest harbor from tupper earlier on that same subject of averaging it
We thought about it a bit. This is the v1 implementation. We're looking at more advanced ways to weight the "score" to give a better overall rank. That's for v2 though.
How are you guys enjoying the vrchat update, having fun?

like my model with a pair of bones no colliders and 300k tris is very poor, despite itself not having an impact on others' performance on lower end systems
well, any type of collider will nuke your rating
I lile the update... Ive got 10 more fps than normal
single material, single texture
same thing for a friend of mine too, optimized af but 1 collider and rip rating
they should honestly do more of an average scoring system unless one thing is in the red, but I don't know
dyanmic bone collider make go up high lol https://i.gyazo.com/12ed3a9b8381e318867d5e5897a69521.png
Nothing wrong with discord wars
See how it plays out
@earnest harbor 300k polygons you say?

I personally never used dynamic bones.
They said they'll work on averaging it later
they should instead have kept the system private like is should've been
It's good to release stress by
i only care about dynamic bones in medium short to long hair
Just right now they wanted to get it out
Well anyway since the update I'm not crashing constantly and FR has improved so good job VRC devs for once.
ive used cloth physics on hair and clothes ever since I started.
rushing a bad system isn't a good way of fixing a "problem"
@woven steppe what rating you get
i used force on some avatars to make real hair physics, that also nukes the rating lol
do you need to separate meshes for cloth?
sorry, a "very poor" system
@royal basin yea
@earnest harbor I see what you did there
no idea but Im predicting very poor coz I have 5 mats and 9 meshes.
damn
cloth need mesh
not just the cloth
if you don't have a collider you're good lol
5 mats and 9 meshes would not get you "very poor"
you can expect any avatar with a collider on it to get atleast poor
I decided I dont want to upload 8 separate avatar variants in different clothes.
Has anyone experienced their descriptors seeming to be pushed forward in-game? For some reason, despite my descriptors being in the middle of my eyes, the sphere being a bit submerged with the surface of the face, if I put my fingers which are human sized near my face, I can see the inside of them. This never happened before from what I could notice as I could never even get my hands that close to my face because of the headset.
so I made my ava be able to change clothes
But without colliders how else am I supposed to play with my big anime tiddies?

still can
I guess you can still use them and just get medium score
see... cloth collides with disabled colliders so my 50 capsules and spheres are all disabled but interacts with the cloth... gonna go look later to see what my collider count is at.
dont worry about the star only worry about people doing event lol
Having a bit of trouble. Not a single one of my avatars are "optimized" and people are blocking me
why is "Avatar cloning" a thing now? nobody asked for this
just make sure your avatar dont want to be copy set to private
public avatars are available to everyone no?
adding public avatars as your favorites was enough
even the public set one
You can disable avatar cloning, even on public avatars.
i don't see an issue in cloning public world avatars
well you could argue it makes it much harder to spot avatar stealers
so make sure there private dont want random person use them
another person who didn't read the fine print
It’s not a big deal. It can be enabled or disabled at any point.
"stealing" public world avatars?
to be fair... it is VERY fine
fair for you
If it really puts you off... then just don't use the feature
my question is, why do we have to go through all that to turn off the feature when we shouldn't even have this feature in the first place?
it just make raid event eaiser
This
I wish I could disable this avatar ranking "feature"
Stop being lazy and just do it
i would understand if it's your own avatars. but afaik this feature is for public world avatars only.
how about you stop defending this crap?
avatar ranking system there so make people aware need optimize if didnt do this might lose more stufff
i'm not defending it, i don't see any issue with it.
Supposedly the avatar cloning in testing helped promote smaller avatar worlds and circulate less used avatars
I'm not defending this crap... I'm just amused at how you're so offended by it
like it would be the same thing if people go to that world and take it for themselves
would you perfer them limit dynamic bone more

@raven silo then make it private and stop giving crashers justification
Also the avatar rating system apparently does not count my disabled colliders
so yeah... 0 colliders
👌
my disabled colliders that still do their job lol
shitty update with shitty features. lol
meanwhile 1 collider is enough to give you poor
I don't see the issue with avatar cloning, you can turn if off if you dont' want people using the avatar you're currently wearing (if it's public)
No, one collider will put you to medium
issue is the avatar rating system is poinhtless. mkost will be poor cause of snail marker
time to optimize my 2k poly model:
https://i.imgur.com/inJOMyz.png
Even if its public you can turn it off @tidal aspen
I hope to god someone makes a shitty avatar that can cause lag and have people clone it
i have snail marker on every avatar. and the only avatars that are medium and below are the ones that have atleast 1 collider
@fervent fossil Just go to any avatar world my dude
people already do that with avatar worlds xd

lol nice
i dont see any animator
like legit i have one avatar that only has dynamic hair and skirt and a hip collider and it's poor
i dont' even think dynamic bones have any impact on performances?
Because its poorly optimized? Maybe that is why?
barely.
have an avatar with 0 bones or collideres. no snail markder and very good. add snail marker and goes to pooir
Dynamic bones and colliders are the hardest hitters as we've been told by the team
Nick- Lets just say you can be happy you said that right now with these people instead of any dev or alike around...
well i have snail marker on all of mine. and most are good
mine only has ear dynamic bones so 2, and its poorly optimized its great
they are EXTREMELY bad for the game, take up more then most game systems when done bad and colliders are pretty much an x2 against the performance count
bad colliders yea. but one?
@wicked marsh Two scripts or two calculated bones
the only thing that you'll have to worry about with avatars is the shaders, how many materials they have, and if they have any colliders
@strange wagon It still adds a lot
you can open the avatar's details to see what's giving it the ranking @wicked marsh
@fervent fossil Not sure who fed you that false information but
Dynamic bone colliders + Colth colliders
Dynamic bone and cloth
Lose meshes
Materials
Polygons
In that order is how bad the peformance hits are
I never really got around to using dynamic bones
ye its his 10 materials xD
when I started I didn't have the asset for it
hair made out of plastic doesn't look good you know
Weight paint it right- Merge useless bones being transformed and you can still be anything above poorly optimized
Yeah hair concrete went out of style after FF7
so I always used cloth... and when I did get some bootleg dynamic bone asset from a friend... I never figured out how the hell to make it work properly.
It would be a flat out lie if they claimed that anything with dynamic bones or cloth is optimized
bruh, I have avatars that have like a bajillion dynamic bones on some of my avatars and I have a shitty PC and it runs smoothly even with other people around and they don't have any issues
It's not about ONE avatar lagging people
yea i only have a medium rig too. so idk what these performance rating are based off of. of what system
Tbh- Im not even going to bother defending facts after you stated that
You clearly stated you do not understand how calculating systems works, rendering and unity...
Also it's your avatar... So you're not looking at it 🤔
VRC player not looking at a mirror? this is new
kek
if you ahve any gaming development knowledge, you'd know that bones in general don't impact gaming performances.
this is mirror simulator
well technically there there is 1 thing even worse than dynamic bones. the IK itself is shit
If this is the state of gamedevs is not odd we get games like Fallout 76
20 people with dynamic bone 20 bone hair on your cpu would be process 400 bone to make sure there move with dyanmic bone
hey don't diss todd's game
@sonic elk Not anymore-- There are plenty of avatars with worse dynamic bone performance then IK takes
@fervent fossil can you tell me how calculating how each and every bone moves and influences the other bones per frame doesn't affect performance
Todd loves his mirrors
he worked hard on his new game
I got a shit laptop so I always spend most of my time in smaller friend groups with like less than 10 people
same
that said the new update gave me like 10 extra fps
vr needs a decent rig to begin with, why cater to potato systems then?
That is purely because the IK changed
that's what i would want to know atleast
I don't avoid public even with my shit laptop
The IK and VOIP got improved realllyyy good
Only thing shit right now from the game are nameplates
Not really gonna care about the rating system itself but if people start giving shit for avatar ratings then like tf.
I just disable shaders and I swim around in public pugs quite a bit...
@tawdry hinge this will 100% happen
I know.
tell that to full body useres after the update itrs fucked 2 full body and frames disapear. was fine before. there are ;people posting about it @umbral reef
@tawdry hinge Tbh- Depending the rating they should
If someone knows what they are talking about they can judge a bad avatar fair
im usually only in friends+ anyway and most my friends have worse stuff being in the db community so they cant say anything xD
See the best raid is if you all use the same account
and because of that i'd feel bad running around with a poor avatar in public lol
@strange wagon because the devs are walking this fine line between letting people with powerful rigs do what they want, and keeping the game accessible to the general public.
If its like because of the avatar box its stupid to call them out
If its because of billion unmerged things and dynamic bones- Fuck yes yell at them
A small room with a couple people, go all out. A full room with unoptimized avatars has lagged 1080ti's... So can't say "my avatar doesn't affect performance, you just have a potato pc"
yea
@sonic elk They ran a retardedly short beta so that happens because of that...
Its stupid they did it that short and its prob- a fix they should not have pushed because of that
TFW you can afford a VR headset but can't afford a rig to run said headset
8 hour long beta I was told, thats.. hectically short
But the rule still stands- The IK system overall improved in performance by a lot
I wonder how to fix this when uploading avatars and worlds:
at Mono.Security.Protocol.Tls.SslStreamBase.InternalWriteCallback (IAsyncResult ar) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 ```
The closed beta was weeks apparently though

Yeah but 8 hours isn't really long enough to get a proper public opinion
mxr is the worst for lagging for no reason on vrchat its great
people who were asleep probably didn't know a beta happened... like me
i have been unable to update anything since i got that error every time
Ditto
@tawdry hinge My 8700K would like to talk when it jumps from 90 FPS to 30 when i jump towards a different room purely because of avatars
better hide avatars that are very poor rated then 
also my flying thing still works... I recall someone in here saying that the game sucks now because they can't fly.
@strange wagon you shut your mouth

@strange wagon i will

And il have no shame in it
Don't give them any ideas
perfect
Why the fuck should i look at a laggy as fuck avatar thats prob just a potato mirror anyway?
Doesnt add anything to my game and only ruins my performance from peeps with neat animations and shit 👏
i'm just glad my main avatar is medium lmao
All i gotta do to get Fu back to optimized is learn to atlus in blender
Like shit- Im all against the trust system and stuff but i like the idea of this
Just that the numbers need tweaking what the staff also knows
everything else is green
@wicked marsh
Atlassing in 3 steps
Install cats
Press ALTAS button
Profit
oh bOY
Oclac is triggered
He just woke up ^^
ok but the hard parts I gotta find and assign the materials cause its a rip xD
cats is magical
Well no- Its just peeps are saying a lot of uneducated things 👀
Im being really short and blund as else id be typing books as to what they can do
Got 'em
@wicked marsh If you only run ~3 materials in the end its easy to export them and assign them manually
Its a lot less bad as when its unmerged and stuff
thankies
@raven silo there never was a need tbh
Even my idiot friends knew how to edit the SDK
It was indeed mainly useless
I never really did that since I just uploaded my avatar with the mesh disabled... then an animation activates it when I'm in the world.
No idea how to edit the SDK and isn't that illegal?
With the old version you had to stay below 65K polys to not get a plit mesh
Right now that number is in a few millions if i recall right
it against rules even talk about it
Editing the SDK was never monitored anyway because of what you said ACH
But its technically against the rules
only bits I had that went over 65k were some props I made in sketchup
feels like a greyzone. everyone did it (or mostly everyone)
But they still approved avatars worlds who had it
coz... sketchup
might change next review lol
@woven steppe If its not part of the main model it changes nothings
Props are there own lose thing when your looking at avatars imo
Yep. Everyone was fighting the 20k limit since the start
I been always for a dynamic bone cap- Mesh cap and material cap
One at like 500 transforms with 5 colliders
not more then 5 mesh
And 10 materials
there is almost no reason at all to ever go above those
I should only have 2 materials but shader rendering made my transparent material be wonky
and had to split it into 3
Maybe the bones even higher
I dont use them lagg machines so
make sure put transparent material on it own material
all i want is dynamic hair and that's it 
just need reduce the bone
and ofc.... plot

The problem is that my shader doesn't seem to understand how one transparent material should be rendered when it was in front of another transparent material
so those two things are in separate materials now
I managed to make it work but the downside is that I've got 5 mats instead of 2
Tbh- I still cant wait for the heaps on content creators toflood this chat and complain there stuff is no unoptimized but was fine before
one collider with a certain amount of collisions can give you an ez poor so yea
I know my shit's unoptimized but I ain't complainin.. I made it that way... heck 5 materials lol
You mean the heaps of people who keep this free game popular?
no colliders tho
Well- Im more talking about the very poorly optimized rank or how its called
Anyone on poorly optimized has to be manually judged imo
Anything above is totally fine 
Very poor
there is very poor and poor. and i think both are equally bad
I still want a weighting system
Yo, mine's very poor
medium would be the limit for me
i have a question.. if i accidentally enable people to copy my avatar, can he/she still use it after i disable it?
My avatars shouldn't be held down because I have audio sources on it
because of that clothes changting shenanigans I got
When they're inactive at first
@umbral nova fairly sure the devs themself also want that but more as version 2 of this system
Yeayea ik
why audio even rank lol
@ancient kayak if they copied it before you disabled it, probably.
But still, A U D I O
i dont think audio use much cpu
it can
still means it uses cpu tho
Mmmm
It still does a fair bit- nothing insane like most othey systems but its not lagg free, its still free lagg :^)
Ah yes, the trash fire rages on

Thank you Tupper, very cool
right on schedule
Poggers- Another chat mention another strom of msgs
Its warm
audio either uses ram or cpu or both. So take that into consideration
Oh nvm
help
@opaque hawk But what about if it's inactive
Nice... so... why are there even things like open beta... if you're going to push the patch out a few hours later. 
There is no help here
How to merge vrc & steam acc together ?
@atomic swallow for the idea?
@timid heron
https://vrchat.com/home/steamlink
help it keeps saying "verify email and birthday" and when i put it correctly in it just keeps telling me to do tht
It defeats the point of it being a beta.
@fervent glade The team is aware and is looking into it.
Read #announcements
The open beta found some bugs, but most of the testing was in the closed beta that lasted much longer
@umbral nova if your stuff is short then unity's default audio settings would be proper
@opaque hawk We're talking about the "optimization" gauge here
"The team is aware and is looking into it" should be a slogan
e.e
Can we maybe get a tshirt with that slogan ?
its one of those things where nobody knows really how to optimize audio in unity so the gauge makes sense.
Yes
@fervent glade sorry friend. They'll figure it out.
You much suffer from their incompetence
@umbral reef Should I throw the Dosis font or the Nameplate font at you when I get home?
Can make that into a meme
Yea
Oof, 100% of my avatars would be "Excellent" status if a single custom animation didn't knock you to Good
Luhmaou get rekt scrub
Oh. Yeah, I know. That closed beta with a handfull of people. 
@sterile drift nameplate font please
I'm in for a t-shirt
Wrong LoneEevee lmao
Lmao
Can it have the red broken avatar model on it, too?
Pfft LoneEevee desktop
that thing still happens btw tupper/any dev looking
i have good avatar rating because im 920 polygons over 32000 
time to chop away at something for that perfect
So the avatar rating system is becoming the new 20k limit?
I am gonna use all of the 70k
i mean i just want excellent because why not
All of my avatars are bad so are this point I ain't care people can just hide my avatar
it's designed in a way so we shame eachother into optimizing rather than them giving us hard limits
i did that anyway
Lul
Yo if you want these jiggly animes you better be ready to lose some frames.
Cause each public world I go everyone has my shaders off so this is no different
i prefer avatar system over remove and limit stuff
That's just the way of it
I mean the jiggle anime im making is almost excellent
so no reason why you cant make it good
Not that jiggly then
Semi jiggly
I use dynamic bones on almost all of my avatars and people don't complain
Just semi
I just dont use colliders 
I want E V E R Y T H I N G to jiggle
I still don't get it. They can see it's flawed. Like really badly so. Why not keep the ranking back and actually tune and fix it... instead of bloody pushing it with the update...
@vocal shard yes it does if room with 30 people dyamic bone
EVERYTHING MUST JIGGLE
if you want everything to jiggle, use cloth on the entire avatar so its just a pile of mush on the floor
@atomic swallow whats fucked then?
ultimate jiggle
@vocal shard because of shitty optimized avatars
weight paint is our best friend
Annoying but necessary
If the entire avatar is cloth... it wouldn't be on the floor
it'd just fall infinitely
unless you remove gravity
Even a small amount with colliders adds up fast
Like almost any public world I go people already have me muted so at this point just do what ever
so wait, the update for 70k is now fully out?
Jup sean
kk
yea
Jupanooz
Well I mostly use dynamic bones for hair breasts booty sometimes for tail or skirt etc
new update causing wayyyy too much lag
Really?
But no-one needs boob/booty colliders 😊
new update gave me 10 free fps...
346 from excellent but I cant spare anymore 
I ain't care if it says poor I just dont
Plz stop DeeJay
i was in box lag free and server is lagging
Well- The first problem is being in the lag free box
And not just being in the box :^)
Why are you in the box lag free... when it's probably the worst case of false advertisement?
isit because everyone using same avatar(which is poorly optimized)?
You can still get medium with 32 dynamic bones
I mean I don't really care if its just good, at least it aint poor 
@woven steppe Its just writen the wrong way aroudn
They meant to type "FREE LAGG WORLD"

Hidden parts that do not influence anything kicking you down. The bloody stages It goes in as well. The fact it's all based for the lowest of the lowest specs of computers it seems. It feels like they're shoving optimisation problems onto the people instead of fixing it themselves. It's lazy.
Box O' Lag
Aslong as your above poor
On poor with a valid reason (bounc size for example)
You should not care imo
Else you kinda should start caring as the numbers that low arent too bad
well I mean it makes sense to base it sorta close to minimum spec for vr, most people arent running 2 2080ti's with a fucking i9
@atomic swallow They fixed IK by a lot, the voip is fixed even more
The only main thing they could fix right now is the nameplates...
So im unsure why you are saying they need to fix there game
the legs are jittering in full body, fixed joint is still not fixed while being the most upvoted thing in the canny since before the 2017 update
Welp im out for a while 👋 dont shitpost too much owkay
does dynamic bones not work if you disable the colliders?
anything more ? @umbral reef
I could keep going if you want, logout, public unitypackage in the API
I know that... I meant do they work if the colliders are disabled but still in the model?
No.
Because I know cloth will still interact with colliders that are disabled
which is why the game rated me with 0 physics colliders
when I actually have like 50
Im going to ignore this ranking system anyway. 
that's what most people do
I miss the other Birb world.
There just seem to be a select number that like the look of a green star
it's useful for finding that person that drops the frames by 10, but that's about it





I like the Caution sign
Boy... last night i saw a avatar classed as good... it dropped me 15 frames. The thing is already circumvented to troll people.
Nothing's being circumvented, their avatar would have been laggy without the system
Beta.
It's been on beta since yesterday
maybe your computer is just shit
i mean i can have a very good avatar, do a crazy shader, and you'll lag
💩
the edge cases don't outweigh the benefits
@languid beacon Are those the real textures?
They are the official ones from the ranking page, with whitespace cropped out, downsized to emoji
Mm
chairs scale with bounds
