even without split communities, it's easy to abuse
hell even invisibly its easy to abuse
perhaps make it a toggle in the world so that people can choose to reduce some drama
How do you prevent abuse?
anything can be abused. more options can give people a way to mitigate things.
Anything can be abused, but you're suggesting a system with no way to mitigate abuse
thats exactly the thing though
I'm lazy and tend to not reinvent things. I would look for what works in forums, chat servers, etc.
someone doesn't like you? kick. trolls? kick
You can give them a option where abuse does not harm users, social status and ect.
And one where you can harm important things for a social game...
forums and chat servers aren't quite the same either
today they are not the same because you dont have operators / admins in the lobbies with the concept of ownership
i know it's utterly pointless but i still like to pretend people will someday just wake up and be decent to each other
It’s a idea as terrible as invading Russia in the winter
crashers and toxiics prob just in pain or buried pain inside i think
The issue with any type of restrictive karma system in the game is that it's just so, so easy to abuse. I don't like you? I wanna troll? Mistakes? Kick, kick kick.
It guarantees people with low karma stay low
there will always be toxic people. the system has to be designed to self govern unless you introduce the concept of ownership of a lobby.
moderators dont really scale. at least, they wont if vrchat gets really popular (in the millions of users)
We can just mimic china- Im sure there IRL system would work neat ingame
"Anything can be abused" isnt an excuse to make an easily abused system...
I will defer judgement of that idea to the developers
VRChat crashed so badly that my Screen wen from posting to no dignal nonstip whit a CPau that is whit the suggested specs
eck even aboce it in RAm and GPU department
you'd probably think the system is a good idea til some peopel troll kick you and you cant join any lobbies lol
room owners can kick as they see fit, that's self moderation.
people can votekick, that's self moderation
mute, blocks, reports, all forms of self moderation. we have plenty of tools for that, it's more active higher up moderation that we need
@coarse anchor not exactly sure this will fix your issue but i was getting lots of hard crashes only in vrc bc of too low cpu voltage. Tweaked up slightly in bios and system been very stable since even when vrc app locks up
Im amazed you understood what he said
lol i think i did 🤔
vive was meant to be delivered today, turns out it's UPS (in the UK) delivering
waited for 3 hours before deciding to check my laptop again, on refreshing the page it had changed delivery days
now I can see why people hate them
sounds like typical UPS
why they chose that company to deliver I'll never know
I ordered from the same place a few times and they always picked Royal Mail which are far better by comparison, though they have their own problems
I only have issues with ups with non business deliveries
thankfully it's pretty much only royal mail for non-business here
But why would VRChat be the only VRGame or the only APP that would have such a specific problem?
Its in beta still
It has user made content what can cause crashes but your crash is on your side. You probally have outdated drivers, bios or ect.
It doesnt have an large studio to build an offline game. What is known to be easier to optimize and make 'perfect'
idk but hard freezes happened to me 3-4 times a night in vrc with vive until i fixed cpu volts. not one hard freeze since and i play hours dancing in packed fbt clubs
Software freezes are a known thing with crashers and we have the tools to prevent it
How much RAM
Hard crashes arent and are part of a deeper problem
Unless you are in the box I wouldn't go straight to attributing things to crashers out of your control
For me 64 which is why i think it was more a system voltage issue not crashers. But def a huge diff before and after voltage fix in my case
actually read about that volts suggestion in a vrc forum somplace so it wasnt only me but maybe just our specific hardware. so many variables!
Des...Pa...Cito!! Gonna go to taco bell and eat burritos,
Get a side order of Enchirito
Only get one taco Dorito
Des...Pa....Cito!! After eating it all I get diareooo
I never should have had that bag of fritos
Now I'm sitting on the toilet shooting torpedos
Despacito!
Anyways, what's up everyone?
nm about to get drunk and harass gamer girls
Who doesn't harass gamer girls on VRChat?
lmao
Except other girls, because other girls hate other girls stealing their attention
Same, I treat everyone equally
But most guys goal on this game is to hunt down every girl with VR, and try to bust a VRNut so it's not gay with a mute/trap, or lonely with dolls
Sup ocalac
That's hot

Im not here cloaked fake news
Yeas
Face.. to face..
I should really need to find this again.. I can't remember when, though
@zinc solar meehh ... still edgy
Stfu already. Don't ping me over stupid crap

Everyday I ignore you, even when you DM me but it's like the only thing you say is "Edge Edge Edge Edge" you even DM me asking me about "edge"
I can say hi, and what's up and you just come in saying "edge"
Sup
i feel bad for avie

Thanks fam ... grabs tissue
they are so immature they legit cant say anything but edge, emojis or dots
I'm sleepy af, and busy at the moment. Then I get this ping
dot dot dot.
how could i forget it...
they can also reee well it seems
No insulting peeps, I'm just stressed right now, and may apologies later. But atm I'm pretty much in a do-not-bother mood.
I just wanted to import a custom avatar and wtf I know Unity now???
@urban cave Not sure I understand the question. What kind of issue are you encountering ?
anyone know where to find this avatar: Dragon Handle | Nanatsu no Taizai
the guy with yellow hair that holds the dragon handle ^ @ if u know
also called Meliodas
pretty sure the models arent public yet. talked to the guy once that ripped em all from the game, like, ages ago. dunno if he made a world or whatever.
awh, alright i really want that avatar >.<
i mean, you could always look up how to rip em yourself. thats what i do when i want some models real bad, lol.
Is there still a way to request a mod in game? Theres a dude going to every single great pug world and force disconnecting everyone.
Please get a copy of your output log and send as in #moderation-reports . Then find another world or world instance and move on. Nothing can be done beyond that but you have a choice to visit a different plane in the vrchat metaverse and you might get some different experiences in the process. See it as an opportunity to explore, not a hindrance
I mean it's nice to think positive but this shit is happening so much lately that it's hard to look at it that way
Yeah unfortunately the only real long term solution here is an overhaul of their networking stack really
Which is not an easy task at all
Will it be expensive too?
Having issues loading anything. Anything going on right now with vrchat?
Raid maybe?
Probably just you, depending on the issue
i loaded into a few worlds fine just now
...
@brave oasis Following the steps in #moderation-reports should do it.
@brave oasis same..
Did they ask you to talk?
Or if you don't talk they'll kick you?
Damn..
Don't give them any attention, just ignore them and report them without saying it to anyone best way to go about it
Already searched about this.. And this people are actually self proclaimed "hackers"
Script kiddies thinking they are hackers, classic 
hi bahkahoney
bahkahoney 
Bahka 
thiccbahka
Alright so ... I entered this world called "Open Mic" or something..
Bcause I don't have a mic, people would think I'm a trap, catfish or something like that..
<.<
Then this kid with that MMD male avatar approached me, "Hey Avy, can you talk?"
"If you don't talk I'll disconnect you."
Thought it was impossible and was only a joke. Then sht happened.
Be sure to report people who act that way.
Too late ... Especially when they have numbers on their usernames ... Which makes it harder to remember
It should be possible to find their name in your output log with a bit of searching.
they just mean cuz i met lots ppl with no mic u cant talk with no mic
@kindred sand what
i met lots cool ppl with out ability to speak and i has also met mean ppl they call me trap cuz i find girl avis and behave as girl when rl me isnt a girl
U either nod your head, or use pens.
[Shift] and F1 - F9
<.<
So that would make u a trap then right? Lol @kindred sand
anyone having issues loading in?
I just walked away to get some water, came back to my headset and the game was black, could still hear the world ambient audio, but no voices. Closed the game, restarted. Logged in, and loaded to my home world, after the load screen finished, the game tried to load me in, then the screen went black again and I got the vrchat "duhn" noise you get when your disconnected. could still hear the world ambient audio
Anyone have a link to where it explains how to merge vrc and steam accounts?
I don't have the link but I'm pretty sure if your using your steam account in game open your menu and on the bottom right hand corner it should give u an option to merge your account unless they changed it never used it myself only shows up for steam account users.
I exclusively use poiyomi's shaders, don't @ me
nope not a trap just a girl borned in wrong body or a boy that just cant find a fitting avi yet i hasnt been member of vr chat fer more than bout 4 months or so
hi emy
heyas swamp ^_^
hru
im good and u
good
anyone know how to change mic
its in the settings in game
Are you on desktop or VR mode?
If you change your mic, you have to exit VR chat and reload
The setting doesn't change in game when you change mics, so a full close and re-open is required
@near bramble just report him with proof
ohh ok
so whats the cute swamp pie doing today
im laying down, contemplating if i should eat these brownie brittles right now? or if i should draw? or if i should just not move and continue laying down
if me had brownies me would eat them
taste one then
but im lazy and dont wanna lean over off the bed to get them
awww
i need a maid
would make them play games with me, then my second ps4 controller wouldnt go to waste xD
giggles
it is?
kidnaps swamp to sweden fer lots gaming and cookies
today was the first time ive ever seen it in a store
Brownies?
yay
i knows that name too
Oh.. forgot to say hi
Heya!
heyas elire pie
Well.. I won't have to put up with greens any longer.. I'm a Known User now
After 530 hours in the game
yays
<.<
idk what color i has lol
Yes, that's possible
how i check what i am
yeah
in general, some of your "score" is made op up your friends list
So if you delete trusted users, the game will view you as less trusted by others, since it can't know if you removed them or if they removed you
yeah, anyways im find with being a known user, i just hate the ugly orange color they chose
yaaaaaay im a user
Peachy orange... not the best one, but it's what we have for now
Get the next rank then 😛
Beats being a Green, though
It's fairly easy
i was a trusted caffeine xD
i was blue fer such long time
i think you can only derank from trusted back to known i dont thing you can derank any further
I've been veteran since the safety update
I've been a new user since the update 
About 200
Nah he just talks shit in here
Oh, lmao
Or less even idk
i only have about 500 hours
I'm on 1800 soon, what are you doing?
Talking shit
not everyone spends lot of time in games lol
Spend most of the time on unity and 🅱iscord
I have 530 hours
Or as mean sai says, talkin shit
BiG Oof
im on 1.5 or smth
i hit 1k like bout a week ago
Gratz
and i havent even played a lot the last two months so 😓
Playing vrc 
Talking in vrc related servers 
i play for a week, then stop playing for a few months, then play another week and go back mia
No im obviously trusted user with one and a half hours.
Wait sai using moded client to get trusted?!
shh

Filing a report ✍
Yah he's using a hack client
over 1000 avatars and 100 worlds, the great wizard sai!
It tricks the server into thinking that he uploaded lots of worlds and public avatars to increase his rank
k a p p a
dont reveal her secrets
Her 

✍
To all mods: big mean sai is using a hack client to get trusted and skins, please ban
Woa now... what if they actually take this stuff seriously?
Lmao stfu bahka 


That's not Hyper enough
It is really hyper lul


Wanna see true power?
hes gonna posta pepe and get banned
Hello Everyone!
hi
anyone know why my game crash when I enter some worlds
Could just be the world is it big/to many users. Or it could be a bug.
fecking huskies
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Is there any way for me to have a soundboard visible over or inside VRChat as I play it?
not that i know of
OVRdrop
you can put a sounboard on ovrdrop?
you can put anything on ovrdrop
I really should’ve gotten that one...
i thought soundboard was something that you had to physically touch
btw, oh hi okano
You probably still have to click it but you have it infront of you without having to tab out
While in vr.
i was talking about a soundboard that you have butons set to, like an actual board
have you considered one can be virtual
im just terrible at finding out anything on the internet so im way behind on this stuf
up your google skills my dude
Well I can’t get voicemeeter to run with VRChat without lagging the game into oblivion, so that kills that idea.
Still user after 200 hours and 1 year old account
Maybe some people blocked you or you're not doing much in the game
oh hi petri
it's not strictly time based
1.4k hours, still a user 
21 years old, still not a ghosto
Make friends, visit worlds, be social, make content

Fricken sucks
I do all that
time plays a small part. It's also based on how many friends you have as well as how many avatars/worlds you've uploaded among other things
i was a trusted at one point
Wait, you got deranked? @mighty galleon
yep
yes it is possible to move down a rank
If people block you, you lose trust points
i got deranked when i deleted 90% of my friendlist
you trust score can actively change which determines which rank you are
Time to get friends
I heard you start again as visitor if you get banned. Not sure if it's true though
no
that's not true
There is a lower rank
yup
than visitor
nuisance
nuisance
^^^^
O what does that look like
Red
I've never seen anyone with that rank though
I think
same
they are muted and their avatar is blocked for everyone by default
Seen a couple of them
Your avatar will not be seen even if the security is off. I think
They're probably blocked by default for others :^)
petri, when we going to high five
you'd have to show their avatar and unmute by yourself if you wanna see them
I'm not sure I'd wanna take that chance lol
otherwise they walk as gray muted avatars
dont worry
I did that once with a regular user and my ears were instantly raped
I think they are also only limited to public avatars but I'm not sure
I'm just a random person, idk you either xD
red oclac?
...
anyways
im a known user currently, i just dont like the color they chose for the rank
its such an ugly orange
Rank up then 😄
to lazy to make friends
then rank down
i think ill just not get on often
Make a canny for changing colors 
too lazy
just type in airfield
what's the name of the world with the health bars?
Theres a lot of maps that have health bars, its part of the combat system afaik
i want to know where to find that
Any map with combat system that also decides to show a health bar LUL
👌
there be an event mateys
I won't miss that chance.. where will that map be?
hello
@vocal shard keep loading it, if it takes longer than 10 minutes delete cache and retry. I used to get 0/0 on my bad laptop and waiting helped
Where do iget a geralt avatar
The witcher 3 avatars
If you dont mind me asking how do i make it so i can use the built in mic in vrchat on oculus rift? I know theres a key on the keyboard but how do i do it with the rift?
Gotta set the default microphone of your pc (in windows settings) to that microphone for it to work ingame.
Okey ill do that right now cheers And how do i like unmute myself in vrchat?
in vr or desktop?
Vr
either way a button on the left bottom corner of quick menu
Assuming you have oculus touch controllers, opening up your quick menu and clicking the mute microphone button at the bottom left of it should do it.
Set your default microphone to the Oculus one before starting the game
Then open your menu with the B or Y buttons on your left or right controller
Then click the mic icon in the bottom left
Turn up your mic volume in the VRC settings too
Thanks ^^
You have to set your mic in Windows due to a still unfixed bug in the game
^^
Is that wat i do with my voice disguiser
Its al working now, thanks for all the help. Had me a bit confused for a bit
Why is my vrchat loading infinitely?
Youre loading a world of possibilities
Does anyone know how to fix this error?
restart 
But I restart vrchat and continue this error
try the steps in #vrchat-support

is there some avatar world with cool avatars with animation?
There is plenty, just hop around and look
anyone know where I can find a public penguin world quickly?
not club penguin world or Big Al's
You mean just a regular real penguin?
I'm your biggest fan
The founder of air conditioning died recently, thousands of fans attended his funeral.
Could say his funeral had a blow out in attendance
I don’t get it. These jokes are breezing over my head
You we may need to cool down
These jokes are so cool
So I just had a thought.
People make a nice avatar... or put together a nice avatar in blender, with attention to detail and cool things... they then port it into unity, do all whatever custom animations in there to add more spice to the avatar...
Then they just put a shader on it that hides everything, make things blend in...
I don’t follow. “Shader that hides everything”
Basically... Why is it that so many avatars are flat lit?
wish people would test world using shaders other than flat lit toon
getting real sick of worlds that have literally like no lights
Im all for that sweeeet standard shader ;)
I'd probably not be as perturbed by flat lit if they actually had shadows... but that would require worlds to actually have realtime lighting...
standard shader is nice if you actually set it up properly tbh
I used it once on an anime avatar by accident ans it was really funny because I thouught I broke Flatlittoon
I'm putting together a light test unit that has a few shaders on it along with 'correct' references for them.
So basically if the set of objects look fucked, so is your lighting.
that would probably help people out a lot
People just end up with characters with no depth... 
Especially anyone who currently uses a NPR shader to test their light setup 😠
NPR?
Non-PhotoRealistic, general term for toon shaders and some others that defy the regular laws of physics
ah gotcha
gall i wonder, do you still have me added on vrc? 
I think so?
@woven steppe ayyy you made it a gif
yas
for reasons you did not provide
To please those who want it bare and those who wanted the thigh highs on multiple D-cords I'm in
If I remember correctly I had to help a friend out with some last-minute avatar fixes for an event
and i just checked, you deleted me, so thats why
youre not friended
how do I go about reporting someone for logging out/crashing someone? Getting kinda annoyed by how often its happening
FeelsWeirdMan
Says we are for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@vocal shard #moderation-reports has instructions on what to do
wowzie
thanks, didn't see that channel
Reeeeeee
I need someone on vrchat to tell me if my voice disguisers working
Sup guys
i literally can send you a friend request 
@inner cape It's possible the friends API is being weird. I've had close friends 'unfriend' me (and others) due to the system being weird.
My username sjould be sweet-tea
Can't hurt to send another
talkin to gallium, sorry tea
👌
just did
A


Got it.
FYI there is currently a bug where if you place a friend in a group on vrc they will simply vanish and not show online or offline - just gone as if not friends
You can see their avatar and they will have a yellow tag but show as not even a friend, not even offline
if they're appearing offline, can you still join them off of the social tab?
They don’t appear offline. They are as if they are not even friends
Except when you finally do see them they are yellow tag
They simply don’t show on any of your menus at all
Yo what the hell... all my favorites just disappeared.. all my favorite avatars, worlds, etc..
Is there any reason for this?
mine were disappearing every so often the other night. I had to wait for a little bit and they eventually showed back up
Favorites have been a bit unstable the last month or so, they should come back later.
As far as flat shaders go, I think standard makes most of my models look really bad. Like. They suddenly are very obviously 3D models. Kills immersion for me.
Nope, we all use fixed pipeline rendering
My models tend to need custom PBR shaders to properly render, gotta have that subsurface.
OpenGL-1.0-only-gang
ya'll need some normal maps
Making worlds is hard. <_>
Not the process, but having the assets you want.
make your own assets
ez fix
Yeah. Surreal places are a bit easier since they don’t need to make sense or look realistic with lots of real objects
Photorealistic / immersive places are pretty much impossible without being a seasoned 3D modeler or using a ton of licensed content
Trying to make an African landscape with a little house/homestead in the centre. Trying to find African plant life and props to fill it with has proven far harder than expected.
Even if willing to pay, the selection of assets is surprisingly poor.
I’d think plant life would be the easiest stuff to find on the asset store
try outsource from just the assets store, turbosquid, yeggi, etc
I can pay 5 euros for a single really crappy tree with no LoD. Or pay 35 euro to get a slightly fancier one. As for other types of trees, bushes, grasses etc. Nothing.
I expected it to be easy to find too, but am struggling.
this is a very important question! Where does VRchat get money to keep running ?
Currently, investors such as Vive, and a small amount from the VR-Chat merch store.
HTC funded them an amount of money because the game pushes headsets like crazy. Other than that no one knows. They aren’t apparently hurting for money.
Hmm.. OK
I do wonder what the long term plan is though. After paying so much for a headset, VRChat being free is a nice break.
Someone posted a page a while back that showed that HTC isn't their only contributor, but no idea who the others actually are.
I mean I’d hope Oculus would be one
Hopefully. Though slightly less likely since their strategy is mainly making their money from the Oculus store rather than off the headsets themselves.
VRChat being on Oculus Store is gonna push people to Oculus Store at the very least
But really? They make more sales from their web store than hardware sales? I find that a little hard to believe
They've been putting their publicly declared funding mainly into exclusive games, far as I can tell.
As a Rift owner I have only bought steam games
I don’t even know which games are “oculus exclusive” because unlike Nintendo, Oculus never labels them as such
Nintendo used to have that “Only For” sticker which really helped :p
I don't actually know either. Have stuck to steam whenever browsing, and nothing has been recommended to me that I can't get yet.
that's how most hardware manufacturers make their money. Sell the console or in this case hmd at a loss and recoup the money through software sales
Gets Mario for PC
Sucks for oculus then. I avoid having multiple digital distributor software on my pc
Same dude.
Valve's gameplan has simply been to see as many headsets enter the market as possible, since they win either way via selling games. Ideally they obviously want their partners hardware to do well, since they have more influence on that and it will direct people to Steam better.
Yeah the only other place I buy games is GOG because of their no drm policy.
I refuse to get Origin, Bethesda, Battle.net and all that.
HTC's gameplan is simply to make money of the hardware itself by attempting to be the most desirable, alongside whatever deal they have with Valve, but more recently has also been shifting to try and improve it's "Vive Port" service.
If VR can only go mainstream by being a console like Oculus Quest wants to be, I’m fine with that. I’d rather have VR at all.
And Oculus has been pushing to try and become the largest market share by just getting as many people using their headsets, and then using it as a platform.
Personally I really don't want the "console" route, whether it helps things go mainstream or not.
Same as I don't own four different monitors to play my PC games, I'm not going to buy four different headsets just for exclusives or platform benefits.
I just want to be able to use whatever headset is best for my needs, to play titles available for all.
I wonder how the WMR companies are doing.
They're kind of treated like a single side option, except with even tighter competition.
Probably fine, affordable vr with hands
Oculus is going market share with users
Vive is going buisness focused and high end
Yeah but if it’s just not feasible to sell headsets without recouping the cost from games, and people both reject hardware exclusives AND reject consoles, VR will just flop
i... i have an odd question... before installing VRChat i had something like 100GB of free hard drive space... but now i have 68.3GB... where did all of the space go to? or i do know that it didn't go to VRChat, it still has 1.2~GB.
It is though when your vive and sell with nice margens instead of fairly limited ones like oculus...
Companies buy your stuff- Get stuck with your eco system and money
PC gaming floats on the success of the revenue generated from console gaming. It didn’t create it; and it can’t maintain it. It’s superior in every way; don’t get me wrong. But it’s just a perk from the real money makers: consoles.
Oculus has the advantage of playing the long game. Facebook has absurdly deep pockets, and so far have made it clear they're happy to continue investing in it.
Vrchat will eat your cache @lyric light
If you have a 2nd or 3rd drive, you can create a symbolic link for VRC to save to there. It's much easier.
i have a single 1T
Just clear your cache then.
@ruby burrow Ow for sure its why they can get the market share by doing cheap with enough quallity
I think as long as HTC/Valve hasn't been losing money, the two rivals should be able to just continue on until things establish themselves.
and... where is it?
%AppData% in LocalLow. @lyric light
The number of Steam users that have a VR headset installed doubled this year. Whilst the number of early adopters have been less than was hoped for, the growth of the market isn't actually bad at all.
Is just going to take a while before that snowball becomes visible.
so i need to delete the "HTTPCache-WindowsPlayer"?
No, that's something else.
Though, if it's also huge maybe figure out what it is? But unrelated to VR-Chat either way.
I was in game 5 minutes ago when my game started lagging like mad and shut itself down. I went over to my PC to see if there was an error, but there wasn't. Steam had shut itself off entirely. What's up with that?
Yeah @lyric light
( Am I getting confused here? )
i thought so, or it's the only thing that has 20+GB in it... :/
( I don't recall the folder that needs deleting saying anything about windows. )
It's for the video player in worlds, it randomly downloads them.
Ah.
-_- really?
Takes up a lot of memory.
I normally just delete one of the folders named "VR-Chat" or something similar entirely. The one that houses the logs.
Anything that goes over 1 gig faces death from me. 👌

!cleancache Yes HTTPCache got renamed to have WindowsPlayer around the 2017 update
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
Hey so I have a bit of a question. Lately I’ve been talking to people in vrchat and I’ve noticed a lot of discussion about Tupper
Lots of negative things
Just want to know if they are true that from a rumor I heard that he bans people whenever he wants or something like that.
Like he abuses his power
I am just waiting for Unity to allow VrChat to have the Easy Switch mic option back. (also, im sure he/she doesn't do that)
Unless those people can prove those claims... Well, that means they are rumors...
guys help i'm in a infinite loading loop
They have some prove with stories and other people
stories can be falsified
Stories are no proof though...
Anyone can make up a story
Just wondering if other people have the same opinion
Pious, they probably had some bad experiences with him, lets not discuss it here
Video evidence cannot be falsified.
it can, it's just a lot harder
yee
Alright just wondering cause I was thinking from they told me was “the face of vrchat” was getting over his head with power was true and I was honestly a little scared
He isnt the boss or anything
He would be risking his job for this shit
Anyways if that were true in any way. You really have no need of worry.
A ban is a worry
Tupper isn't going to ban you for no reason. It's just a rumor
Anyways, can I have a question answered?
What is it
don't ask if you can ask
just ask
Hi
What is the time, friend amount, and creations would a Known user have to have in able to get Trusted.
Tupper is the community manager. He’s a cool chill guy but as the most publicly facing team member his name just gets pasted on any rumor. You know gamers.
FURRIES OUT
@stoic parrot it's not known to prevent exploitation

Theres more to this than just play time
I know. Friends and Creations.
Sometimes you get it within a day. Sometimes within a week. Just make friends and play and eventually you good
I dunno if Creations means, "avatar creations" or "map creations" if its map creations I might as well get to work on building.
@vocal shard I think you meant to say “base anime model” not “naked anime model”
it's both
Yeah 😂
@stoic parrot I've been User for probably 530 hours. Only now did I manage to reach Known User
I have 14 avatar creations. No Maps yet thou.
Careful mate. Naked avatars aren’t allowed in vrchat unless it’s a private world. I think?
They aren't
Most of my Avatars are just custom Piano avatars (I play Piano on Open Mic too much lmao)
yeah, keep the NSFW stuff to private worlds
I still kinda wish i'd have Trusted. I love Purple lmao.
you'll get it eventually
awdahwdho
I already had trusted when they rolled out the trust system
When they rolled it in I was known user
For the longest time
I dunno how to know thou.
When they've rolled it in, I was a User with 400+ hours in.
No, you don't get special perks for being a beta tester
Also if you were a beta tester you'd have the beta tester role
I hate that the only model I find is girl
Really?
Wait since when are you a beta tester tidus?
Do I have to link something with discord?
Since over a year ago
Oh but you know what’s weird. If you made an account before they ever had a trust system. Like say you made it back in 2017. You can still upload avatars no matter what your rank is
Male MMDs are hard to come by since many of them aren't good
Because i dunno how this will work. Since I never really asked for the role.
ow lmao never noticed or remembered it
Nor do I really have proof.
Wait, you only have 150 hours Oclac? '-'
My character is about to be a boy with a female body
Trap.
That's where the pre-alpha tester part of my name comes from. It was an inside joke from when the closed beta channel still existed

Unless I put a sweater and a sweatpants to make it look like a boy
Like my old account I made in 2017 was visitor rank and I was able to upload models.
@ruby burrow A bit more by now but i legit barely got time

Typing a msg here is 100x easier when your at work then playing VRchat :x
gtg
Hasta
Same for when im on the other side of the country
Feels weird. You were here before I joined the game. I'm on 700 now.
later hella guy
Me and my friends are all trying to save money up for vr
I got vr recently besides the glasses hurting my nose. It’s been great
Im busy 
Id love to play more but i legit can not
I think a good first one is Mixed Reality and poor nose
And also- When i have time it takes too much energy for me to play VRC instead of wind down and play a relaxing game
Yea.. You may wanna go for that.. but are you sure your computer can handle VR?
You might look into ordering prescription lenses for your headset
I'm interested in joining in the latest Gunter's Universe event.. but well...
whats the latest event?
Gunter's Universe
oh. For some reason I thought you meant they were doing like an event, not just the regular show
Umm.. yea.. I shoulda said it as a show..
Anyways.. I might find it hard to join in, unless another friend is there.
No Gunter's Universe for tonight I'm afraid.
Really?
He announced it in the Events discord.
Afro knows and sees all
It's why he's always disappointed
True
hap day vrchat
aww no gunter's universe? sad day
I'd recommend joining the events discord to stay up to date with events such as GU, there's an invite pinned in the #events channel.
I'm already part of the events discord but I didn't see a ping or anything
That's what I've been doing since the dev meetup..
...wait, there's also an events discord?
Indeed there is
looks like I'm gonna be out of town for the big vrchat birthday celebration. Oh well
why? timezone difference?
Yep
Plus geographical location.
· Philippines - 6:23 AM
I woulda been late to the party already if I were to take a Transpacific flight to California..
Anyone know how to increase the resolution of my screen shots to 4K and not 1080p
Sup
Yes Oculus
Oof.. I dunno what the buttons are for that.
that keycombo lets your change screenshot resolutions
I don't know, tbh.. I've only played VRC on Desktop
I love Vrchat screenshots the colors come out so flat, so it's easier to edit, and change characters color to anything
that i believe depends on the lighting of the world, and lots of worlds use baked lighting and that makes you look darker
right now im actually working on a screenshot in photoshop to correct the lighting and make it look better
That and a lot of worlds don't have the best lighting setup.
You can get very good lighting with baked, just have to know what you're doing.
yeah, most people don't pay attention to lighting in their worlds, and thats a shame since lighting can have a huge impact on how your world looks
The colors come out flat because people literally use flat shaders
That too.
Friends don't let friends use unlit shaders.
^
Im trying to make a studio world that has better lightning and i meant for taking photos but i swear bake lighting is a pain
Just use no shader and no materials 

If there is no shader there cant be shader problems 
no shaders = 100fps
I actually use the fallback shaders exclusively. My shaders cannot be blocked
Smart boi

E

Wat
referring to adeon
Ohh...



@umbral oracle didnt do anything the oprphan data thing
Hi, my computer is already very weak because that vrchat game is very heavy like 4 GB.
You can fix broke materials in unity as long as the uv map is intact
Oh if yoh have multiple meshes it will add extra materials on other meshes. I think that's a bug. You can delete them in blender or change the number in unity
wym
Unity can delete materials as long as they are at the bottom
there no bug i just have textures on the untextured mats
Ah ok
Untextured mats cam cause trouble maybe. The old atlasing tools never did those well
ye
i separated by light settings
and i was thinking about making secondary recolorable
Maybe you need to make a small 4x4 solid color texture for each first or do it yourself. Don't have good experience with this so maybe someone else has better techniques
it works btw for the atlasing diffuse colors
only issue is u need 2 super shrink each island into its box
otherwise theres color problems
Quick question, what's the addon for unity to import dyn bone settings onto another model?
google isn't helping and the search on github sucks, can someone link me?
Happy birthday Vrchat hell of a ride so far and more to come i bet 
There's some fool going around the Pug right now client crashing people, and trying to convince people that it's Tupper doing it. -_-
yeah, rejoin and client crashed again
He's been caught doing it on video though. So there's that.
did you report him?
I wasn't there, but friends were and have.
What happens if i accidental delete a dll in the vrchat folder
just reinstall the game 😉
restore from recycling bin? 
eeee
vive arrived today!
just drained my batteries playing with two friends through The Lab, google earth and Budget Cuts
the unity shows new avatar creation instead of new world
anybode knows why plese?
also for anyone not with a headset yet, save yourself a headache if you have AMD graphics and disable the ReLive VR streaming thing
it created a virtual headset which messed with steamvr with no explanation for hours
anywone?
When was VRChat first publicly available? Not referring to steam version
ignored
What is the recommended unity build to use right now bc i am using 2017.4.18f1 ?
Its not a recommended build. You need the 2017.4.15f version
the unity shows new avatar creation instead of new world
is that the reason i cant upload models then : /
oke thank you 😁
Or wait- Nvm misread it
You want to make a worl gosto?
Gotta import the world asset for VRC and not have avatars in it
world asset?
Just watch the world making tutorial VRchat made o use google on how to upload worlds
All tutorials should explain the steps right and what your missing
i id everything a torturial said me to do
Need some quick help, when I click the little arrow to open up the tab for the shader setting sin unity, it does nothing... Just suddenly started happening. help
Do you have any red errors in console? I might recommend closing unity and reopeninh
hey guys
anyone willing to help me set up voicemeeter banana and whatever else i need to play divine bloodlines through vrc
What
That's an unusual request
People who play music through their mic 
Anyone know how to disable anyone from copying your avatar?
I seen somebody who is using an avatar, and it wont let me copy it, but he said he can enable it for me to copy it.
But the thing is, he isnt the author, so how?
I've had that just now.. in Japan Shrine
eh. general really dead q-q
What...
g'day peeps
Ooookay
what if you never make your avatar public?
is there a penalty or something?
No.. no penalty
By the way, well.. I had another interesting case just a few minutes ago.
There was that visitor who was just generally shouting every time he talks.
Private avatars cannot be used by other people. Period
Fat block for people screaming into their mics
Public avatars worn by you will not be cloneable either if you turn off allow cloning
I'm surprised he's not tagged as a nuisance yet
He might be new. Some people will lower their mic volume if you tell them. They might not know
The only way to get a private avatar from another person is if they themselves give you the file outside of VRChat
or i already have 3 avatars that are private. :/
Ok? What's wrong with having 3 private avatars.
I remember my first time I played vrchat I plugged some crappy iphone headphones into my vive because I didnt realize it had a builtin mic. Oof
Oh my... I used my Samsung earphones back when I was just starting in VRChat.
I know that feeling.
Well, since then.. I replaced them with a headset.. mic coulda been better, but it ain't bad
everyone here have a fine day. (or night)
Day here.. 9:26 AM
my friend is looking for a new pairs of headset, one with a built in mic. Any recommendation?
I recommended mine, but he's into headset compatible with software integration
corsair void pro wireless
does it have software support?
get XG
I dont really know
Mine is close to this one
Why does he need software support?
idk, he's into rbg, but his razor is pretty shit according to him
thanks
I actually have that one I sent the wrong one, It works EXTREMELY well and the program is good too
it has that and works REALLY well
to the extent where just audio alone for this surround audio test scared me
I have a 22$ sades headset*. When I use the noise reduction setting on my mic it sounds pretty un-potatoy, if you're looking for a budget headset
here's something i'm curious about
will vrchat impliment eye tracking for those who have it?
someone's actually buying the pro+? lol
hope not, it's just another thing to add to lag
why does full body tracking cause lag?
w o t
Inverse Kinematics
t h a t ' s d u m b,
I mean it's kind of how computers work. The IK could be better, but it's something that'll always have some sort of computation cost
w h y d o e s a v r g a m e l a g w i t h v r
Why does a video game made for PC lag on a PC?
Computations are required just like anything else.
How does one see quests in the VRChat Home world?
They should be on the far left, near the portal on the right wall if you face the portal
I only see a buddy machine board
Hm, weird. That's where my quests were.
Do they stay there when finished?
but ye, i mean i'm considering getting a vive pro
because the dark space on the sides of the headset is ruining me immersion
that's not there on the pro?
eh, eye tracking shouldn't cause much lag - vrc already has to drive the eyes around for the automatic fake eye movement stuff
might have a cost on the user who is running the eye tracking to interpret the sensor data of course
but that's their choice
It's funny, the more money you have the more lag you generate
VR, FBT, Eyes, and Knuckles
how exactly would eyes cause more lag though? There's already bone deformation going on to move eyes around today, and they're not going to need full IK even with real eye tracking as there's only one joint to deal with
as I see it there's two main possibilities: 1) The current, fake eye tracking is driven on the PC of the person in the avatar, and sends the eye angles or target coordinates as part of the state update of the avatar. In this case there is no change to overhead on other users. 2) The current, fake eye tracking is computed independently on every viewer today. If so, there would be a slight increase in network overhead (order of 16 bytes per 33ms) to transmit target angles, but a reduction in CPU usage as the fake eye tracking doesn't need to run
there are quests???
they don't really do anything but yeah
also yeah, didn't consider fake tracking already being a per-user thing.
It's 2019, Who else considers ugandians adorable?
@dark narwhal does
ME
@dire thicket They are still adorable looking ngl
@dire thicket it's the best meme that this world has layed eyes on
humanity just don't want to agree publicy
everyone loves ugandan knuckles

oh no, its a darkone
VRChat community, is there a new update, where if you get crashed it "Disconnects" you? or is this person hacking vrc?
They would run up, every time I re-joined and yell, OH NO MY INTERNET. and I would crash. Happened literally 13 times, and my internet is not bad at all.
I'm joining, and staying in, all other worlds and different instances of the same world, without any issues.
!outputlog there are known issues with the networking stack where people can force you to log out using hacked clients. unfortunately. Send your output logs to moderation@vrchat.com when it happens
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt
it's a bit of a game of whack-a-mole until vrchat devs can fix their networking stack though
I reported them for their racist (ni****) user name. It was written with different characters, though.
that might only get their name changed, possibly
What else did they do?
Well, I'll try to send a report
Mostly that. Over and over. Mainly trolling and taunting.
It sounded like an english 14 yo. Like a legit kid.
Now that doesn't sound like a friendly face.
I think you can send a report over moderation@vrchat.com (mind if I do?)

I doubt that he's mature enough to play VRChat
Ah, I forgot.. you gotta compose, then send a Gmail to them..
Oh?
I sent a message to the mods. Btw, the user's name is ṊḮႺႺḚṝ
I'm so sorry for having to post it, here. But it's for the purpose of warning others. 
yeah they'll probably eat a ban for it lol
It's alright.. but try to just keep it between you and the mods.. chances are, he may be in this same Discord
I suppose memory leaks won't be fixed sooner or later with the game?
I mean what comes from them knowing?
....liiiiiiike? lol
So basically nothing, gotcha. They already DCed the person 13 times. Not much else they can do
I think 4 or 5
6-ish, one isn't all VRC
OK? PRetty uncommon if it's rarely reported/documented, not much to worry about
block animations and all they can do is log you out, assuming they're in the same room
ok then...
So it's uncommon and not much of an issue
and im sure after 13 times they know they'll be reported lol
I doubt..
Umm.. no? I don't think it works like that, would it?
Umm.. no
Not usually, no. It sends a report to them.
Rather, the VRChat mods receive the reports, and if the case is severe, act on it.
I'm guessing they look at the actual reports and see if something happened, i doubt it's automatic.
It asks you what they did
There is... usually when you select a user
Oh.. do new user have the ability to report?
Thattt's not frankieee
I miss regular frankie content 😦


Is there any rules for accessing the vrchat: "output_log.txt" in appdata/LocalLow/VRChat/VRChat/ ?
Hello.
Could anyone help me with my problem using VRChat SDK in unity ??
If so please dm me thanks.
isnt private chat called pm
it's both I think
Because pm is private message and dm is dirrect message so it's the same
oooh then i learned an new thing today again giggles
guys!
why the maps from vrchat keeps dissappearing? are they removed?
i lost lots of fav maps in 1 week. whats going on?
Could be server errors. could be maps which did not comply with world or avatar performance requirements. We can just hope they come back
For example Miko Paradise I thought got approved with the new performance rules but it is not public right now
Somebody @ me
