Im just looking about worlds now lol , I left Presentation room because i felt too awkwardd
De nada. Welcome
@thorny nacelle you could try a game world. That is easy contact with people. Murder for example
The game is rubbish, but it makes for easy interaction. I like it
Everytime I went in murder, people were using the flashy avatars and there was quite a few nasty comments being thrown around-
I need help with VRChat..
i used to always go in murder and once more annoying people came and the lobby was full, just add a couple cool people and go to an own instance or friends+
@thorny nacelle VRChat in a nutshell
Yeh
I can’t Go anywhere without it saying that VRChat isn’t Responding.
Aaaaand someone crashed my game-
Ouch..
Again.. VRChat in a nutshell
^ True
:Yeet:
I did look at the website for how to fix it but..It won’t seem to work..
its usually fine
Btw @quartz basin you're going to have to up your scare tactics.
uh- would anyone like to hang out on vrc?
I would, Artsene, but I've gone off for the night
Ah okay
We can find a group of people together some day to make it easier to deal with
Alrighty
Only world I crash on tbh is the box when I hang out with people that are on a kos list
If you wanna
I'm going to get some sleep... Sleep well everyone, except for the bullies
Goodnight !
❤
add me im raven roth
Sorry , I’m logging off for the night, almost 11pm here, maybe tomorrow ^^
Uk boiiiiis
Yeeee
Except I get on vrchat at 11pm not leave it at 11pm 
It's 7:17 AM over here.

THEY ARE THE WORST OFFENDERS OF UNOPTIMIZED AVATARS
huh
Not really, no worse t han any other user
but unoptimized avatars are trash
If anything, Public Avatar users are the worst offenders of unoptimized avatars.
can't say I see 2000+Collisions as much on private avatars as I do public ones ❤
I had checked one avatar on Loli's avatar world, and the performance just dropped from 90 to 40 in a beat.
More than likely a coincidence or impacted by other factors.
there's next to no way one avatar will set you that far back. That's the entire point we try to drive home when talking of optimization.
I think it's the avatar with lots of particles going on, hundreds of dynamic bones and an unusually high number of polygons
Not to mention the avatar has a big fluffy tail
Which also has dynbones
Like I said, the odds of _one- avatar setting you back that far are near none. There's plenty of avatars with hundreds of DB that don't do that.
all larens looking avatars are bound to be trash tier optimization wise, prove me wrong
They are, but they're also fixing them as far as I know so that's a plus.
Now i wait and soon ill finally be able to play as customs. Hows everyones night here?
The sun's pretty bright in where I am.
Hey chat! I'm new and want some new worlds to check out! Tried a "pirate map" yesterday (dont remember the name) but it was fun! Anyone got a nice 'adventure' map? plz 🤗
oof you cant link to that site actually lol
k I'll link to github in a sec
yea figured you had one just dont want you to get yeeted over it
also my computer is a potato, I crash a lot....like a LOT, suggestions on less laggy maps?
probably unpopulated maps, unless you switch to a higher safety so most avatars don't load
sounds boring but yeah I noticed I ofc lag more when 25+ people join 😩 thanks!
@rigid crescent lol ur gae
Looking forward to get my upload rights and upload some well optimized FBT avatars.

Not really complaining, so nice to have ARMS and legs in VR....amazing 😁
<--- From Orbus VR community 😉
lots of fun avatars out there too!
Sai is just jealous of the RGB hair from mic
@lunar sinew hopefully CPU load will drop and help with your lag issues once the IK changes are pushed again
i finally got some stuff working
I finally found settings to go VRlow and also shut of all animations from everyone who is not a friend, that helped a lot!
if only there was a way to enable simple facial shape key animations without enabling ones that can trigger stuff like screenspace shaders, particles, etc
Anyone using poiyomi master shader please switch to this or another toon shader please. https://github.com/poiyomi/PoiyomiToonShader/releases/tag/1.0
Trying to fix bugs in game caused by the other shader but people need to stop using it if possible
Ugh I'm hateing VRChat more over this update then ever. Why aren't they saying that there going fix the probably all my friends have had problems loading in and are even unable to get in to worlds that are not there home world. And even crash more then they use to. Also are favorite list glitches out I have fee friends getting blocked by my list with out me doing anything and its all after this update that's fucked everthing up.
literally every update ever
I have been playing for year and it wasn't this bad.
Well I mean lots of features were implemented relatively recently, hence they are still kinda buggy. I don't think the VRChat dev team has the fixing capability of let say... Microsoft.
its not open source
the software development kit is available on the website tho
It’s not open source
It’s very customizable
Since you can make your own custom content for it
anyone know of a good fur shader? payed or unpaid im looking specifically for the one that Phantom Package uses on his avatars. or anything that looks like it
i heard Xiexe had a nice fur shader that u have to buy
only like 15$ if i remember correctly
thats probably the guy
Xiexe's fur shader store page: https://xiexe.booth.pm/items/1084711
Basically $11.06 USD
Hm
Here's his tweet about it: https://twitter.com/XiexeVR/status/1060481933023567872
Why is VRChat giving me so many issues today.. 2nd disconnect today :/
anyone else having these issues
Any error message ?
Just [disconnected]
uhh is there like good girl one piece swim suit avatars out there? so far i have found nothing :/ like i want a cute one >_<
@prisma plover 
How does VRChat even make money?
They don't. They just get money from HTC sometimes.
Huh.
Also pat pat @severe lily
So I guess sorta like investors?
My games bene having the login issue for 30 minutes I tried restarting please help
HTC is a major investor indeed.
@supple cedar Did you try to usual "Type login infos in notepad, then copy paste the infos into the vrchat login screen" ?
Cancel. Then reenter login infos maybe ?
I can’t click cancel it doesn’t do anything
I’m going to try and go on steel be
Vr
Could try to force quit VRChat. Restart it. Cancel the log in as soon as you can real fast. Then retry to log in by copy pasting your login infos in.
Fixed it. Steam was installing something and it was really straining my internet
Glad it was something simple haha
Nope
Hi huge VRC community: I'm gonna talk about VRChat at a school this week and want to add some fun anecdotes about what's possible, so if you wanna share, what's your most fun VRChat story? Preferrably worksafe/schoolsafe obviously 😄
Or the weirdest most notable thing you've done/seen someone do
I once like looked someone in the eyes yikes big jump
@lyric nebula almost a year ago when the doki doki map came out i was in a lobby full of random people i think it was 28 or 32 no one was a streamer or anything just random people and we all just sat in a class room and introduced ourselves 1by1 we then continued on to play dodgeball and had 2 groups the higher beings (non anime) vs the lower beings (anime) it was probably ny best expierence in vrchat
my avatar has no hands so i ask people for high fives the second they raise their hands they see im missing it and they take a few seconds to know what to do, most just grb the knub and shake
that's adorable @vocal shard and @mighty galleon thank you 😃
the school anecdote is going to be especially entertaining to tell in a classroom 😄
uganda knuckles
That one Korean bird that talked about his brother's death.
And the existential crisis of that drunk anime girl.
Good old cat parade kitten band too.
cat parade is probably a sweeter meme to highlight how people turn into crowds on purpose, instead of the obvious one. everyone has heard about the other one anyway
^ this
I once played VRChat, that's a pretty big event tbh.
Xiexe plays VRChat. The world was never the same. 😅
Does anyone here know if vrchat allows for custom post processing stack shaders?
I'm considering buying an asset, but if its not going to work im not going to bother.
You can't use custom post stack shaders as far as I know since they're compute shaders, generally.
If i sent you the asset could you tell me if it would work?
@severe lily I'll tell the students, "Xiexe played VRChat"
Idk if it would tell you anything
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/fullscreen-camera-effects/sc-post-effects-pack-108753 would these be compute shaders?
I don't know much of the slang they use on the description so im unsure.
Meh i guess i will keep to grabpasses
@lyric nebula hell yeah
is anyone else's connection really shit or is it just me?
cause my VRChat connection has been timing out since late last night
If you have any avatars set to public and they have anything breaking the TOS / likely to get reported, it's possible that someone (or lots of people) cloned your avatars and used them for abusive purposes. If your avatars were for example NSFW or had something abusive/spammy on them I think that could get you temporarily banned from public content uploads even though you yourself might not have been abusive.
Well all my avatars pretty much follow the TOS. Like i said. Most of them are animal avatars and loli avatars.
Ya I can't answer in your case. My guess would be a lot of people hit the report button on your avatars for some reason.
Only way to get an answer is to email the vrchat team, or wait out the time and turn off avatar cloning on yourself so others won't abuse your content. maybe they have a loud sound on them that was used to scare people? or maybe some of them had private parts there even if obscured by clothing.
^ this
There are performance cops who try to get others to report them. Might be another reason the avatars got reported.
They hate medium or lower on performance scale
Those "performance cops" might end up getting flagged themselves by reporting too many people that aren't committing any infractions.
Flagging is slowed down so someone isn't spam flagging for the hell of it, aka troll proofed
Now if it's an avatar someone set as public and they placed crasher of some type on it, then yeah, report it using moderation@vrchat.net
I've seen some users making clonable crash avatars and it's good to know who made the avatar
@rancid vessel give to moderation@vrchat.net with output logs and snapshots

Woahh they got deletee
Output logs will tell who spawned the object
It's abusing a spawn object exploit where someone can spawn any object from any world
Even people spawn lag mesh colliders
Good news is that an upload right revocation might not be permanent, like with proper explanation of the situation to the mods and some corrective measures, one could get their upload rights back I guess.
Hi, I think I lagging a lot in vrchat because there are too many players.
@vernal shuttle ok.... Why did you feel a need to spread that message in multiple channels?...
Just curious what your plan is...


But srsly if you are lagging, just change your safety settings to only see friends avatars
But if I try to use the "show avatar" option, the blue hologram avatar loads in and nothing else, no loading bar even
It basically means I have to reload my current session for said avatar to load
You might have to clear your cache
It’s almost a week since New Years. Do you guys think the huge player count will stay as it is?
Nah
So far the visitors are leveling up to new users then to user
thats not rlly new
It may level out a bit, but a lot of people got VR headsets for Christmas and are in the honeymoon phase with vrchat
And a lot of other people weren't able to..
Is anyone else able to get on?, vr chat keeps saying it’s not responding
I'm on rn
Well since i don't know where to ask this, I'll just do it here. Recently I bought a couple particle systems on the unity store (by Sinevfx, Forcefield and living particles. Plus a couple spell packs), but every time i wanted to upload them it deletes the scripts off of my avatar. I know certain scripts aren't allowed but these are all harmless scripts from the Asset store. So since a newer version of unity shouldn't we be allowed more scripts since the engine can handle more stress. and I'm sorta annoyed since i paid a decent amount for them and I'm sad that the particle systems don't work.
scripts aren't allowed for security reasons
^
stress isn't the issue
While the scripts may be harmless, verifying every single script that might be harmless or not would be generally unfeasible.
Exactly. People already complain about hackers and Crashers as it is. If full c# scripting was allowed it would be pure and utter chaos.
I wonder if another wave of VRchat users will flood with the addition of later generation headsets
favorites list is bugged?
which one?
avatar
The favorites system has been a bit unstable as of late, they should show up again a bit later.
can't add favorites can't delete favorites
give it time or restart your game
already restarted
cuz sometimes the load instantly and sometimes they take like an hour
I favorited an avatar like 12 hours ago and it hasn't showed up
It's been stated a few times that there's issues with the favoriting system, the mods are aware of the issues
squizma is an adorable username

oh ew its giff
...
F
ok whatever im done here then
@mighty galleon caught that on my way to bed, thank you swamp~
np
Giffany left
is it normal that my ping shoot up from mid 200 to 500 now ?
I'm kinda sad the favorites list is bugged since I favorited a k.rool avatar and kurigames has ptsd from k.rool
everyones having connection issues
yep
ah okay , glad its not just me
and I watched a hilarious video from alpharad with 3 k.rools and I love the character since
hey guys I seem to be stuck in a log in loop after the latest update?
Does anyone know of any good base models to work with that has a bunch of cool blendshapes?
YYB is usually a neat one
Thanks, I'll take a look
@tepid quartz logout and relog back in
well if I could do that 😛 I wouldnt be complaining about being stuck in a login loop. sure I can restart the app but that has not solved the problem. neither has clearing the cache
some have seen it resolved by changing their passwords
Anyone on desktop?
Btw ... Does real height have something to do with avatars? I'm 5'6 and it doesn't seem to change anything when I change avatars.
Not on desktop

In vr it can affect bending on your avatar depending on how accurate your room Setup is
And also how well the avatar is set up
BTW
Feelsbadman being 20 minutes too early for your train and it's cold
Yea but not in desktop xddd
yeah
for VR, adjusting it to not your actual height will make your hands more accurately placed
for FBT, it can move the feet/hip lock in distances to make avatars that aren't perfectly aligned to you fit properly
Thats also not a completely true statement
Thats only correct if the avatar isnt properly adjusted for fbt proportion
it's okay i still love you
Thanks mom
Wait okana is Grandma?
No okano is cute cat
Oclac shush
please don't call people it
I'm bad at shushing
that's almost entirely disrespectful

👀
Shamefur to entire family!
L @safe prism is it good if I call you a qtie instead then?

idk
Hello

I got made fun of for not being able it move my arms sniffles
If you don't have full body, I will make fun of you.
Unnecessary information 
IT IS very dire information
why is it not wholesome?
Then she tried to smack my butt with her whip I ran
Sounds wholesome to me.
Keep getting black screen when I try to go in one map on vr and on desktop
I hear noise but nothing else.
sounds like a pug I need to wear my bondage outfit in

The pug bar
they save you from a memory leak
It's probably to satisfy their insipid tastes
Oof
Yeah, a lot of those assholes are around lately
Usually the crasher types, easy to recognize.
anyone else crash just now
LoneEevee keeps getting disconnected when he uses a particular emote, just some music and a small color inversion shader on a sphere
And I got disconnected by modded client users a few times for blocking them
@median basalt best is to report the person you blocked
just check your block list
And I keep getting disconnected.. by my own laptop
But yeah, some said someone leaked the client and now it's getting out of control
I go in a world, do 1 thing to piss them off, I see a disconnect screen and everything turns black
Does it turn to a BSOD?
It originally logged you out, now it's a kick someone home thing now
And then it turned into a disconnect client
Malice is evolving
Disconnected message happens, but doesn't logout anymore :)
I should double-check my systems since I don't even know who is disconnecting me..
But well, my output log got overwritten
I did open a canny as it would get out of control at some point:
https://vrchat.canny.io/bug-reports/p/logout-exploit-3
Damn.. people are really frustrated about it
Definitely when the client has automatic feature on it. Rejoin and instantly kicked back out. Harder to report the user who is doing it.
Unless a user is dumb enough to leave himself in the room, which some have been in The Box, it's easy report

Do prefer actual patches and not Band-Aids to fix the problem
Band-Aids help, but doesn't solve the whole problem
are you guys talking about someone disconnecting you
every crasher uses those stupid neon nekos with guns and a face mask
hide their avatar and ur good
unless theyre logging you out
some asshole disconnected me from the box today cause i blocked him for trying to crash me
Report him please
Prefer to get crashed than someone sending a "good luck reconnecting" packet
too late to report him i think he disconnected everyone in the room
They often have scrambled names that can't be reported directly
Prefer to not have people like that in vrc at all
crashing people for fun and attention
can't comprehend how they think
The ingame report system is literally useless
only saw like 2 people when i joined the same room aggain
If you have the name, use output logs and report him to moderation@vrchat.net
it's always the box map that's full of this shit and that's why i don't like going there
they would still come back it's almost impossible to get rid of those fags
Saw someone with an Avatar with 400k polly's and 100k of them was this 1 button to show off that he could put 100k pollys into 1 button
weird one
is it that very poor badge thing
I used to be acquainted with someone whose avatar can melt into a pile of meshes
no idea man, no idea.
I keep away from pug and box because of obnoxious avatars and people
Yeah, I don't go to the box
Pug is usually OK though
But everyone's glued to the mirror :/
Yea..
time to go back to the box and see what's gonna happen to me
Hence MirrorChat
You mean Mirror Simulator
It's as if no-one's itching to sit like they're in a resto
I sometimes use a shader that turns the mirror black, I've been blocked over it several times
Only once has it succeeded in forcing people to socialize

Lul Rokk
@median basalt but my mirror D:
Ghosto's using the same thing but it overlays the mirror with a "Guy Fieri" face or something
I got stuck in a loop of logging in and loading on VR. This there any fix?
Reason to go to Japan Shrine, no mirrors lul
@true sky dont worry, mirror avatars have been deployed to your location
@queen mango ah yeah, I gave him that shader lol
@cold talon can't find me if I'm in bed getting ready to sleep >:D
Japan Shrine is usually pretty chill if you can find some english-speaking people
Also i saw G1Fan yesterday lmao
Yeah it is Rokk, quiet and chill usually which is why i prefer it
Yeah xDD
You just missed me then
our troops can certainly find you, but we respect your will to sleep, good night 
I went offline to get dinner and I'm assuming you joined right then
Japan shrine is usually 100% peaceful
For some reason the toxic people don't visit japan shrine at all
a few days ago some dude called -crashboi- went on a rampage in japan shrine and crashed everyone calling them "foreign fucks get outta here"
Rare chance you join Japan shrine and there is some pretty toxic people in there
Usually the damn Americans
Fantasy Shukai Jou, the 1619hz world is pretty safe if you don't want toxic people but mostly Japanese speakers
he almost crashed me but i manage to turn on safe mode
Or a nuisance user who I see avatar and unmute and all they say is racial stuff, then hide avatar, mute, and block
DokiDoki Shoukai?
Niet
I love seeing how nuisances get to where they get the role
not fearing of being crashed by randoms 
where's the fun in that
There's also Japan Town..
Yeah but rarely people there
oh yea is there a "nuisance user" tag under people's name?
Yellow icon = possible nuisance
Red icon = verified nuisance
i saw some weird emoji looking thing on the right of the name and under said nuisance user

dont nuisance automatically get their avatar blocked?
What would that mean?
They get blocked and muted
Yee
You can manually unmute them, but you'll likely re-mute them right after
I never unmute them, there's a reason they got the tag
Yeah, most mic spam, talk shit, act racist, or they are in a bed sheet Inc or pepe avatar
i tried unblocking a nuisance user;s avatar he was shooting rockets at everyone from the sky :/
Also for the first time in almost a year vrchat peaked over 10k users again
oh yeah the second wave is coming
Some came back for new years
red apocalypse
If knuckles comes back i'll stay in friends instances

knukles 
uganda chungus 
Was funny for the first few days
there's already those bloody bugs bunny with knuckle faces
Why
Just whyyyy
Nuisance users have been more common lately
Probably due to avatar cloning being a cancerous feature
well i mean even if its gonna explode like the original, its gonna be alot smaller
You have to mute and then unmute nuisance users to hear them
And their shaders are blocked by default
You can only see their basic avatars basically
frozone cough
Frozone avatar has been taken down
But don't worry, something else will come in its place
yo that was my fav avatar
wait it actually got taken down?
I still have the blue stretchy eye boi, so probably not as bad 🤷

wanted to do that tokyo drift
Yeah, the Frozone avatar is private now @cold talon
I've seen people in my avatars more recently singing songs at open mic night and I die laughing at the stretchy eye and how badly the avatar is weight painted

have you guys seen that despicable me avatar
<- talking about this boi
@idle cipher the one where it has a racist emote, plays mine diamonds earrape when moving, and screen shake and hearing screaming gesture
Have an image?
Haven't seen a gru on one of them
But has a sun bright vrpill panosphere on the middle
i unfavorite it cause it went private
the walking animation looked funny and it played some loud ass bass boost audio
Yep, that's the avatar
it wears a scarf with felix on it
ive just discovered from where this error is coming from
VRChat is not responding and kicking u out from the server
Game freeze?
i saw a guy and heard him saying: hang on im gonna kill this server and voila he did
not game freeze
the vrchat not responding message when u get kicked out from the server
actualy everyone gets the same message that are inside of the same room
its actualy a feaking hacker doing that...
madafucker..
i didnt get his name but its a freaking visitor doing that
Most likely someone ban evading
im not sure if that log will help them
He's just sending bullshit network messages, which makes the client go "lol wtf? I'm out bye"
Or something to that extend. Nothing dangerous, just really annoying
Cant really show proof, but be aware, somebody named "autisticdude" or "autistic-something" is going around crashing servers.
It will, the log tells them which visit joined before the crash, and likely who send the malformed information
location of those logs?
They don't crash servers anyways, just instances of rooms
https://vrchat.canny.io/bug-reports/p/logout-exploit-3 relates to the "good luck reconnecting and going home" issue
to save it before losing them
!outputlog
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt
sending the log to that mail?
Yes
#moderation-reports tells you how to report users
Thanks for reporting users like that btw
if i get an answer from them that is my pc fault from getting that error...i will not even bother next time to report a bug.
i'm starting to wonder about those vrchat gangs that everyone talks about. they're literally everywhere
It's funny how there is more reports for the same issue in under an hour
There was a "gang" once, it was just cute kannas
And because some of them used hacked clients, they all got banned on sight
Now there's quite a lot of assholes going around crashing others, but I think they even crash eachother. Not a lot of "gang" about it
There's also that guy who advertises his discord in people's crash logs, lol
I think they send a network RPC thing which had the link in it, and that caused an error and logged the erroring thing (which was the link)
Something like that
Maybe staff can ban any members in there.
oh Kanna gang, that was late 2017
they came back, or tried and got banned again, it was hilarious
They don’t send rpc’s anymore 👀
They probably do to disconnect you
the hackers can come back in game anytime..
Nope 
Still never experience any of this logout/hacker business. And I spent a ton of times in public worlds
I’m immune 
Highly skeptical
purple heart has cock written on his 4head

2cool4crashers
I gotta go work now, bai bai peeps.
But I stay out of presentation/never have I ever/lag box, so I think I miss out on most driveby spam
The script kiddies probably don’t venture out
later heart
who even goes to public box lobbies???
Probably not a lot of people anymore
I'd hope not, that's asking for a bad time

like being in a public pug in april when gore spam particles were the rage
Man, I think I got scatterbrained from the random chat conversation they're having
I can't even comprehend things right
Wait.. gore spam particles?
Being in friends+ boxes is not appealing either
exactly as it sounds
You still get logged out
sounds like you need better friends
Cause.. that time I visited the Great Pig, I got a earrapey Minecraft overlay shader all over my screen
People stopped doing gore spam when the menu rendered over everything or safe mode activated
@earnest harbor no, friends of my friends of my friends of my friends of my friends need better friends.
Friends+ is practically public still
And the API treats it as such too
or it sounds like you got on the bad side of a gang and you're on the hit list
if you're getting constantly logged out, I can guarantee you did something to get on the list
I always happen to be on the collateral side of things when it comes to these shaders
I'm not getting logged out at a higher rate than anyone else
shaders aren't the issue, it's the clients
Plus, collateral in the logout clients people use too..
Its not a shader thing, its a photon thing.
Lavender?
A single man project, VR sandbox game
It mostly attracts avatar and world creators who are sick of the VRC devs limiting them
But also attracts autismo gang
Being in lag boxes is unappealing in general. Give me a pretty environment
is that the thing the guy on patreon makes
Ah.. the ones whose tools are also barred from use in VRC
“Let’s make the world a boring box so the game can handle all our laggy colliders”
Several people are typing.
And yet the box in itself is pretty unoptimized.. what's with those lights?
I wonder if they secretly do it for money. Like "Oh, let's grab the concept of VRChat... but monetize it for my own benefit".

@prisma plover basically high fidelity
😅
Which is also dead on arrival because the creators don't want shaders
Hold up.. literally any kind of shaders, they don't want?
Sansar is “what if we copied VRChat.. but actually have no idea why people like VRChat”
Well Linden Lab experimented with VR before VRChat I think. I could be terribly wrong tho.
High fidelity is “what if we copied VRChat, but don’t do any of the actual development and get people to make it for us for free”
Like they were going to implement VR in Second Life itself, but decided to make it standalone instead. Hence Sansar.
except HF is dead
Could it be because it's not as user-friendly as VRChat ?
theres a difference between talking and advertising
"The game that shall not be spoken of"
Second life had DK2 support for a short while, while decent. It had a few issues:
1.) after over a decade of being non-vr, and made for third person, Nothing was remotely to-scale and looked ugly in first person.
2.) decades of poor optimization made all but empty boxes with a few avatars possible without puking.
3.) their stance on NSFW content meant they will never be allowed on steam
It never got cv1 or vive support
stop advertising vr headsets 
How about if I tell that the other game freaking sucks ? Advertising it's suckage ? 😆
I have no issues no longer speaking about terrible games.
Tho in my opinion VRC can use them to learn from the past so they don’t repeat it :p
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Also any game that has desktop users on third person ruins immersion for vr users. No use looking at someone’s face if they aren’t really in there. The concept of shared space is gone.
I could list a few games but I won’t
anyone thats done the hds christmas map and is willing to help me solve a puzzle ive been trying to do for hours?
Is VRChat banning VPN now? I can't login to my VRChat account as it says I am banned for 3 days for Ban Evasion
No further explanation than "Ban Evasion"?
If you use a vpn it’s possible someone else who was banned used the same vpn and now you are on their user map as an alt
Which is another reason you shouldn’t let people upload avatars for you ~
Never have.
But it seems to work now again. i think the website is having issues.
VPN works again and the ban warning does not pop up
Well I'm glad it's working for you again
Does anyone have fix or solution to the loading loop?
It only happens after the new update
Cancel it and log in manually. While I have your attention, does your name have a space in it? Or have you changed your display name at any point?
This bug only happens for SOME accounts.
Trying to track it down
Nope. it doesn't work, even with reinstall.
Been asking around for a friend to find a solid fix to it
No reinstall will fix it it is an account problem
It effects only some accounts and there is no fix
If you are effected you have to deal with it until it’s fixed unfortunately
Aye! Thank you Cx
Just cancel the automatic login and type your username and password. It will work first attempt every time
Honestly it might be better if they just removed the fetch entriely until it can fetch
At least it wont’t seem broken
Just a question. Anybody Else get social anxiety when in major servers?
You are not the only person with social anxiety, no
I can’t relate but I know plenty
I wanna be able to talk in them, But sometimes I just cant bring myself to speak.
It also gets asked here like 3 times a day. So no you are not alone
Alrighty. I kind of figured but I just don't know how to get out of that loop. I wanna make friends in Vrchat and I know you can do it without talking but I still like being able to be social.
Practice growing out of your comfort zone. Like everything it takes experience.
I used to be like that I just have decades under my belt lol
Ah, Alright. So does it just come to you eventually?
Nope. It’s just a slow change that you never notice until you look back
Oh, Alright.
It took me a year to get comfortable talking in public worlds in VRChat so you're not alone
Alright. That makes me feel a little more comfortable.
Talking about peoples avatars seems to be a good ice breaker
I'm in quite a small public presentation room right now drawing- Im quite content but i dont speak much, have the same anxiety struggle lol
Artsene
Helloo
Im good lol, how are you?
I'm overjoyed, thank you for asking
Awesome ; o
I hope you get to go out a little today.
I mean just a bit out of the corner and closer to the middle of the room
I'm teasing you...

There's five people here- Not speaking English- but im just doodling away from the corner lol
I'm happy to hear that. As long as you feel safe and comfortable.
Yeaah- Id prefer it if someone I talk to was here lol But I'm good
That makes sense, but venturing out and defeating your own limits can be a good reward in itself, and also a way to meet someone who you soon will call "someone you talk to"
Even those you talk to now were once complete strangers
Mhm ^^
It's a funny thought experiment
Do i ask here if i want a custom made avatar? Would someone kindly make this for me?
Well, funny is maybe not the right word
But if you think about the ones you hold in your heart, the ones who are dear to you.. Think about the day you met
And try to imagine what they were like. How it started.
That knowledge can sometimes take anxiety of meeting new people and milden it a bit
Having a group of "someone you talk to" is not a small feat. Even if it feels natural now and like something that could not have an alternative, it started because you actively took part in it
I'll keep that in mind ; o
@rustic venture #community-servers-old Youre looking for vrc traders
@glossy wharf Ah, Ty.
If you feel like putting in the work, you can figure out who’s doing the random gore and loud noises. And then give them a slap 👀
Always be recording though, will come in handy 
Update - I made two friends! Im having alot of fun now ;3
We're drawing things in Pres. Room and its great
Making friends on VRChat? Nonsense.
Don't be here then, shoo shoo
You only make bros in Vrchat, because women don't exist.
Fuck off withthtat “no women in games” crap. It stopped being funny 10 fucking years ago.
Next person I hear say “it’s a trap!” In this game I’m gonna find them and shit on their porch.
I thought the exact same thing.. It's not even rude anymore, it's just completely idiotic..
It's one of the stigmas that has stuck with us for so long and it's simply unnecessary.
Yes but unlike memes this is nothing but hurtful
I agree
They’re not the cream of the crop, they’re the cerebral yoghurt.
I occasionally say "omg a gamer grill this can't be real" but only with a specific few people that I know well so we both just laugh at how god damn idiotic the people are that say it unironically
People suck
More men then women play video games but like
There was a fucking overwatch case about this where a woman went under the name of another player
And played just fine
Or was it the other way around?
It was, really was, a guy.
Yeah it was the other way around, sorry for misremembering
A guy acted like a girl to get into the pro scene.
It also did a great number all the idiotic gaming journalists who all too happily ran the story as “DISCRIMINATION!” Without actually checking any of it to see if it was true...
Some females in gaming really don't help themselves and others, it's upsetting
People have the capacity to be idiots, regardless of gender, race or other affiliation.
Or handicaps or what have you.
If you count mobile games as games, then the demographics are pretty balanced imo.
Oh absolutely. Anyone can be a moron, it just upsets me when people of influence hurt a good cause with their stupidity
Ive met just as many gals and goys.
Maybe they don't want to talk to avoid attention.
True
I've met ~6 girls and ~10 boys so quite close. I wouldn't blame them some people are utter pigs online
A lot of gals, and some guys, prefer not to reveal themselves in an online environment. Even more so those that are transgender. Because of how they feel they’re met by other people.

I know this very well.
I even tried it out myself with a voice changer. Posed as a woman and boooy I wish I had recorded it. There were guys trying to pick me up, in vrchat. Seriously.
Voice changers never did the work for me.
You gotta fake your voice a bit as well, or it becomes too obvious.
I dont even have a headset I Just practice my Loli voice and hope that does it
Yeah, with voice training, the voice changer becomes sort of like a little "extra help".
because I have a laptop IM BROKE AF
Glad you can still play tho
im glad too
Lmao the other day a girl came up to me repeating what someone said (is that a gamer girl?) so I repeated it to her as well, then like 3 girls joined us and we were all just repeating to each other “is that a gamer girl? Omg”
Ive met some lads that did some extremely good girl voices.
It was hilarious
Mockery is good humor.
I'm happy because I can try to find some streamers sometimes but never do
You never know who might be recording.
good point but I never find the ones I want to be on LOL
gamer girls 
Gamer girls? Where?!
like Naddition, HeyImBee, VRTrapman etc.
gamre gurl pee 
I’m groaning.
imagine playing games instead of being in the kitchen
Gaming a girl

I think I’ve been caught in some streams before.
I've never been caught in a stream unless you count other games.
That’s another thing I never understood, the whole women in the kitchen thing. What man can’t make his own fucking sandwich?
Ironically, most chefs are also men,
i cant make my own
I always take the whole@kitchen thing as a joke, and I go with it and sometimes say “ I’ll make you a sandwich”
The best cooks are man usually .-. but thats what memes are, distortation exagerations of an over saturated joke lol
The people that are all “there are no girls on the internet” are probably the people the girls avoid
How about making a sandwich to the gamer girl ? She's too busy gaming.
i wonder why Adeon lol
Can confirm, yes they are
Why I’m mostly in private’s really, the amount of thirsty ass men is crazy annoying. I love the people you meet sometimes but I mostly stay with the people I know
Where are traps supposed to go?
but this 'jokes' have been a thing ever since the internet became a thing regarind chats and what not, what's the purpose of this convo right now? lol
Can I play videogames or do I have to stay in my kitchen
Maybe I can move my pc into the kitchen to solve all the world's issues
I remember going to a pug and three guys argueing to try and get my snapchat. I don't have snapchat. That realization to them was the best part
u go in my playfield cause ur a yugioh card type gg
Ahaa
Nassa move your battlestation to the Kitchen so u are closer to that sweet soda while u game, win win lool
I try so hard BUT IN THE END IT DOESNT EVEN MATTER
Mini fridge, e z clap
RIP Chester.
i should get myself a mini fridge c:
heehee thanks @safe marsh
Mini fridge is good a plan.
filthy plebs not having a huge fridge and microwave in their room
I dislike microwaves
guess im filthy then 
Me too
I shower but sometimes it feels like I was cleaner before the shower. Guess I'm that filthy for not having that microwave in my living room
PC and drinkables and food don’t mix well
Me and food don't mix well weirdly
What u mean, just add vrc to that equation and that sounds VERY well to me lol
I find that Wine and VRC is my most lovely combo
oh, that nice red wine
Food crumbs + Keyboard don't go well together.
only on the weekends doe
Wine
gin is where it's at
I prefer rum, but everyone can have their preferences I suppooose
Gona take my 2nd shower today to stay filthy coz no Fridge and/or microwave on my room
Baiii
Plain old water. 🚰
Buh bye
Quality wines ?
You crazy spaniards
Yes
Smoke wine every day.
Good quality red wine, every single day
Can you even smoke wine lmao?
You could probably vape it.
I'd rather not try.
Me neither.
I don't think it'd even get you high
Do it
Sit with me on my balcony in the mountains, enjoy the warm weather, watch the sun go down and enjoy a cool glass of red wine
Might as well inject vodka at this point.
And then it's VRC
Inject absinthe
I think the difference is, I don't drink to get drunk
It does 😮
Hmm
VRChat ski resort.
If I knew how I would love to make my balcony as a world
It's about 50 metres long and 5 wide
It looks over the mountains on all sides
And the sunset is always beautiful
I actually have a picture if anyone wants to see it
Sounds like a good place to vlog. 😶
We want to see
I genuienly thought that was a vrc map
It's in the mountains surrounding Barcelona
heehee
I got you covered
I went home for christmas to my home in Denmark
And took this photo while driving.. someone else drove dw
Because you're right, I could never leave my snow behind permanently
A little snow.
Aaaha yes we don't get much it's true
I don't know what you are doing with your camera, but those photos are good. 😄
RIP caffeine
Hi my name is Grinch and I left my snow behind three years ago when I moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona and I will absolutely never move back and I don’t miss it 😄
I love taking photos but I'm not a nerd about it unfortunately
B-but... the white everywhere ! The coldness ! The shitty brown snow from the road salts/sand... wait that's not good.
API request abandoned, service unavailable, room state zombie, left room unsuccessfully, timed out, disconnected from proton, etc
Heehee Adeon when I got back a few days ago and sun the shone on my face and I could run around outside in shorts...
Anyways this is #general-media material
It's almost half the errors of a standard modded Minecraft server, and you can save almost 1GB ram by not logging errors on that
It’s dead of winter right now and I’m in a short sleeve shirt
VRC is best enjoyed in tights and a tank top
The summer wind blowing in through the balcony door.. The wine is there as well
Does anyone else actually feel heat from virtual fire? Especially if it has really good sound effects and lighting
I know some peopĺe who do
Letting your emotions feel the sounds is just...
I can feel the warmth of people
Ass-mr
VRChat keeps disconnecting..
It’ll go away
It’s weird because I don’t get Asmr. Only got this from VRChat. I guess I’m more visual than sound
Did you try to use your headphones and sort of let yourself fall into it
Closing your eyes and letting the sound touch your feelings
There is difference in quality as well of course. I wonder if one of those ASMR microphones would translate well in VRC.. It probably wouldn't
Nah all that expensive Binural audio stuff gets slammed down to mono mix anyway in voice chat
Haha
I feel like a tender voice that carefully expels whispery words with utmost secrecy just gets SLAMMED - Welcome to VRC!

i think u are like me Adeon
ive watched gazzilions of vids and never feltt a thing, until i watched a vid that was not even ASMR but it was a guy sharpening makeshift Knives on stone, and that scracthing sound was so good .w.
I just feel stuff I see. Sound never does anything on its own to me
I’ve felt a chill from vr rain, heat from magic effects, I’ve felt headpats and close breath from talking too close to my face and I’ve felt hugged
Do you laugh like the doughboy if I poke your belly?
wof
I flinch back but I don’t really feel much on my body unless I see it in a mirror lol
gents /ladys does anyone know when the VRloading loop when connecting to VRchat will be fixed
Im on desktop and I feel the warmth of people, Hugs, pats, and gforce from rollercoasters
I cant wait for my oculus to work beczuse then ulta feels
That game is lagging me the game of VRChat for low FPS too many players and he tells me he does not answer and then they took me out of the game because of the waiting time. They help me?
Does anyone have that Profile load Loop
becouse i cannot JOIN VRchat since last year 20th Dec due to that loop
Hey, does anyone know, how to use DJL Dance Stage? I don't get it.
Some days
it is good but for us that has more than 250 ping its hard we cannot play anymore due to that its just a constant loading loop
@vocal shard my cohsin cant ever and shes sk sad aboit it
But were getting her a pc for like 800 february
Well she'll be able to play it soon 
hey guys if you could give me some feedback on this test subreddit for VRChat, https://www.reddit.com/r/VRChatTESTSUB/ (To get the full effect please use light mode and new reddit design) It is also mobile capable
anyone who has VR and want to be my fwend? 
sure
😄
anybody know how to disable this thing vrchat does that hides your own head for yourself? it makes it so that i cant see my own animations on my head in the mirror.
not visemes but other stuff
i just had diarrhea and im in a lot of paiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiiiiiiiaAAAAAN
wrong channel
oopsie whoopsie, i did a poopsie.
Uh
Only thing I have to say: If it lasts for more than 3 days, check with your doctor.
@tough girder cancel the automatic login and type your user name and password manually. The game cannot fetch your data
Anyone know how to weight paint? Or could help with it
Best to look up a YouTube vid on it. Most explain it really well
Look up any tutorial that has to do with rigging, you'll see what it does and how to do it.
my new world went live when im at work 
i cant interact with the peoples for like- several hours
What world is it?
it's called The Fortune Teller and you can get your fortune told
or just do tarot cards which is kind of like a poem magic 8 ball
Oh nice, I randomly joined my friend today and he was in that world
whats up
brap
well
👀
totally expected for HTC to jump on the mobile train
Oh! Apparently it can also be powered by PC
It has a flip up visor too
I guess it has an app called Lens too which is similar to a VRChat
Ooh theres a "vive pro eye" as well
Eye tracking within the headset
@tough girder Is it the infinite loading loop when you try to switch rooms? If that's the case, I changed my password and that fixed it.
No word on the knuckles, thats kinda strange
well, thats by valve aint it.
I don’t want Mobile vr. I want stand alone vr, but I want self contained.
I consider Mobile vr to be “slide a smartphone in”
thats different
Internal eye tracking!? 👁
Aka mobile phone vr
Well that's not what this is either way.
Yeah I know I just saying Mobile vr has a lot of bad (aka crappy) connotations
Like I wouldn’t call oculus quest Mobile vr
I wouldn’t call a Nintendo switch a mobile console
but thats what it is
Mobile games are like. Smartphone games
Idk i always ear mobile in reference to “smartphone” not “portable/handheld”
I just hate the term, anyway disregard me
bc smartphone also known as the mobile platform
and u say like 'its for pc, console, and mobile'
That was more my point I consider things like switch and quest to be “consoles”
so if u say mobile game u most likely referring 2 a phone app rather than something u can play on the go or a board game
Yeah
There aren't many who think of mobile games that way just saying
well a lot of people do bc thats also usually how its advertised
unless its like 'u can play it on ur phone'
Oh I meant like, they don't think of mobile games as anything other than the phone. Sorry for the confusion
Ik, that's why I said sorry because I misunderstood, jeez I came into the convo badly
People hear “mobile” and just think crappy monitized games. No matter how good it may be. That’s what people think. Meanwhile call something a “console” and it carries weight even if it’s utter crap like Soulja boy lol
So, I initially recoiled at hearing HTC had gone for the "mobile" route, but this thing actually sounds alright.
Will depend on price, but the inclusion of eye tracking is a big deal.
Yeah, I agree that the social stigmas concerning those names are stupid, but at the same time it's not like they aren't warranted.
Also, "Firefox Reality. HTC partnered with Mozilla to create a browser optimized for the VR experience."
This is a nice extra, and something I've been wanting.
@novel spoke the knuckles are by valve not htc
But seriously. Eye tracking! Now all we need is the foveated rendering, and VR will genuinely be able to break free.
I don't want to hype too much, since nothing is certain, but it's hard not to get excited at the idea of VR actually being easier to run than a traditional monitor display.
Ngl only recently got into the whole idea of VR so half of that flew past me, but if your happy and that shit does sound cool it must be good lmfao
where can i find pictures i’ve taken in game?
Oh boy eye tracking, then we cna have a whole new layers of creepyness aha
foveated rendering is basically the one thing vr needs to help accessibility
found em
with it even lastgen potatoes wont have as many issues running vr
Oh shit looked up what foveated rendering is and that's actually insanely nice
Yeah unless oculus fits in eye tracking at the last minute, Quest is in trouble
Foveated rendering is a theoretical rendering technique that's being explored, and would require internal eye tracking to work.
Basically what it does, is dynamically adjust the level of detail rendered on your display, to factor in where your peripheral vision not being able to see in full detail.
You would see the same, but the computer would have significantly less work to do.
^^sorry wasted your effort but yeah, there isn't much over emphasis on how much that'd help
perfecting it would be the "true" beginning of vr imo
You only use 10 degrees of your vision to see detail, if rendering can be brought down to that 10 degrees and lesser rendering everywhere else and track your vision, the rendering can be done way easier
Still have held off on buying a proper VR because I know it'll just get extremely better and streamlined in the coming years
right now we're sitting at like 3.4mil
My main beef is the same as quest, why do all tjeee stand alone headsets not also have the ability to be a computer headset ?!?!
Well so far Quest is the only standalone isn't it?
Fuck If I know, maybe it's like computer ink, just so that you gotta buy both
Spare the literal phone based things. I kinda discount those entirely.
I wouldn't let that prevent you from buying VR
So, foveated rendering.. it basically mimics what the human eye does.
This new Vive Cosmos having the ability to link to a PC is exactly what I said the Quest was missing.
Assuming that's your only hangup. You're basically screwing yourself out of years of fun experiences and interactions, it's like not buying a PS3 because a PS4 might come out
Don't forget the impact of price on peoples decisions.
Yeah can definitely understand that point, but also need to think on what is something I NEED and shit that would just improve quality of life
I was buying a quest on day one. I said so today. Now this news breaks out and I am absolutely waiting.
Countless people jumped at the Rift without even knowing about or considering the sensor coverage aspect, just to save 20% on the price.
I made an informed choice to get the rift and am much happier with it over vive wands tbh >.>
If Quest turns out to be $100 cheaper, technical terms like "foveated rendering" will fly past most consumers.
the cosmos isn't supposed to have foveated rendering anyway
Nah nah. We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves on that.
and they obviously won't advertise it as foveated rendering, more like "hey this shit runs on your fucking potato and has more games"
I'm just excited that it brings in the possibility for it to start happening.
Something like "...and you can take your game even further with the entirety of the Steam VR Library at your disposal!"
which the Quest can't and will never be able to do
Presumably it's going to be something that software in general will need to adopt.
Game devs will need to learn how to use it correctly.
everyone's eyes are different so I'd assume they'd just allow us to adjust it ourselves
Might be able to do more basic resolution scaling and still save on performance costs at an operating system level though.
anyone know what i can do so vrchat will stop crashing me?
Pupilary distance should really be the only thing to come into play, otherwise our eyes are all pretty similar, mechanically at least
Not mine hehe, my depth perception is fucked because my left eye muscles be weak. But I agree that it'll likely be something you can adjust yourself like most graphics
Eye tracking does nothing for me.
Ahem rule 15 ;) also wrong channel
sorry if this has been discussed before, what's the vive cosmos? Just mobile vive?
It's new info.
Vive lost me with their lack of analog sticks but they seem to be much better now in terms of QoL, just bundle cosmos with knuckles and I’m sold
@vocal shard Also why do you say that? If you mean because of glasses, you're missing the point of what foveated rendering does.
