aight' thanks
A sleep and hangout world loaded for me now.. 😄
I just cleared my cache. 
yep
servers dead
Takes one to know one
How about those in Asia? Are they having issues?
The ultimate security fix. Can't cache rip if there's nothing in the cache.
Default Home/Hub + Default avatars only day.
their servers are scuffed rn, just give it time
Me: wants to hangout on vr for birthday party Servers explode
Is there a way to change our password?
@deft copper You can log onto the website via this link: https://www.vrchat.com/home/login
Once logged in you are able to change your password from there.
Its the one way i know for sure you can change your password.
Thank you very much
yep
servers down?
I think so
yeah...maybe
Yup, for now at least.
servers are not down not for me
I can't join any worlds so, something's wrong.
I can not join people anymore
nothing is downloading, so of course you cant join a world. I was online when everything exploded
everyone suddenly went red and that was it
Some things weren't working for the majority of people, it's already been reported, just gotta wait
T-T
still no official word on twitter or anything
Because it happened minutes ago, we gotta wait for them to comment or solve it
oh okay, thanks.
Give it time
nah this been going on for over an hour at least
An employee spilling his coffee on the server :3
XD
XD

Server didnt get enough headpats ;p
hehe boii
give it time my peeps, that's all we can do
this is my last night off, so im pretty annoyed by this >.>
VR Chat dying finally?
yike
yikes
LOL
So yea
is everyone getting the "No Image Found" ?
The bruda took revenge :3
yup
Everything I uploaded to Avatar is going wrong now. like As if the world avatar had disappeared and could not be used.
coffee is bad for computers
@covert sand Its a reported problem. Just sit tight and wait for the team to solve it.
Vrchat hides something very dirty >:3 !
Last I checked VRChat isn’t that musky old body pillow stashed somewhere
someone probably uploaded a big chungus avatar
oh god
What does that have to do with anything?
yeah they probably have world full of hentai avatars but one dev went to a public world so everyone came all over the servers....
vrchat quite broken at the moment
They're probably killing every knuckles, but they don't want any witnesses...
fbi open up
@smoky frigate If you actually find worlds like that be sure to report them
it shows me lots of broken avatars that wont load...or i cant join some maps,..it just keeps sending me back to default home.
@lethal summit The avatars not loading, worlds failing to load, icons not showing up are all already reported. Just sit tight untill they solve it.
It's happening to almost everyone guys, just gotta wait
kay..
The Knuckles This Vengent :3
becuase if it is not in your cache already it will not show, it wont download any new worlds or avatars ATM
Inb4 VRChat is more functional in its current state than most people’s grammar in this channel
@umbral reef i mean.... ill think about it... lol
@cold saddle yeah boii
@vocal shard True
Can play some people
XD
@smoky frigate Well if they are in private and stuff no one really gives a shit about it anyway 
@surreal ore The avatars not loading, worlds failing to load, icons not showing up has only just been reported. Just sit tight untill they solve it.
exaa.aa.actly
Good go play minecraft :3
I can't play lol
is anyone having issues with vrchat atm?
@dark gate yes
Everyone is
Yea. not loading into worlds and such
cool, just wanted to double check
have to wait
time for real grind boi hours
@rapid jolt Same
T-T
prob watching shit go down in this chat rn behind the scenes
Because of the game
@rapid jolt Same Thought I fucked something up when clearing the cache
Cause it threw me into a error world and such
yup
So image is not found. Hmm, it means that something got deleted from server or the update 715 screwed up everything.
when everone went red, I cleared the cache, but that turned out to be a mistake
it made my situation worse
I did the same thing!
no, it is because you can not get the image
Basically at this point we can only sit back and wait.
I'm sure there working on it as we speak.
@graceful heart That does not mean its gone. Big odds the server sending the information is failing instead of there storage.
You guys can go to the Open mic world.
it is not connecting to the server to download any information, as such thumbnails are not working either
Yea. It wasn't showing world image or even my friends avi images in the ui and such.
@umbral reef i didn't say ''gone'' , i said that new update messed up something
any world that is bundled with the game should work, like moon base and such
Server failed
as well as anything in your existing cache
Deleted sounds like gone in my book 👀
And its server problems- Not because of the recent update.
then servers themselves might be down as well
@umbral reef i just assume
Waiting for developers to edit the game.
People let's calm down just.
suddenly archives of game cache pop up on the internets
Hey are you having probleme with world in VRChat?
I'm sure that they're working on it
We just need to sit back
Like I'm looping in this world
And r e l a x
With a big text panel
@vocal shard The avatars not loading, worlds failing to load, icons not showing up has only just been reported. Just sit tight untill they solve it.
Ok, thanks you!
Server failed
Everything is busted on my end
What's going on exactly? I could still connect in fine
some people can connect and some cant
funniest thing is that, my germany friend can play vrchat fine right now
ok
It just keeps sending me to an error world so. I'ma just sit tight
i did clear reinstall to
I will wait
you will have to wait it out
Oof
Grreetings
VRChats servers right now https://imgur.com/uUlyf3K
xD
It’s server side just be patient people
I have a problem with my game :/
@thorny sail You sure that isnt the average VRC users pc?
I cant play
lol
@cold saddle That nuclear thing wasn't funny.
vrchat its fucked up
@umbral reef whats the difference
Good question 
Is not a joke BRB
i dont want to be in the real life please help
I need help of a mod or dev
Like something that
yeah, tell them to fix the servers
Ok
I will be at work by then
I will view.
RIP
@trim crescent If its about avatars not loading, worlds failing to load, icons not showing up has only just been reported. Just sit tight untill they solve it.
XD
lul
my mirror irl doesnt show a cute anime fox sadly
TupperToday at 3:47 AM

tfw vrchat is getting hard ddos'd
I'm not convinced it's just VRC.
@vocal shard Please do not spread rumors like that.

@thorny sail Who does that? 🤣
i need cuddles
@glass totem There there, it'll be okay petpet
Same i was going to cuddle all my friends oof there goes my plan for the evening
@heavy dawn I once had to deal with a server rack and some leftover network gear that was sliced off like that.
oof
i want my erp time
hey cool kids
Lol
bork
im gay
@rough pulsar I guess someone wanted to get rid of the old gear FAST and didn't care about the cost of the cabling or wrecking the old gear.
gay means happy btw
anyone had a good day todat ?
im still in school oof
y
Hey you
Youre cool
Gallium we still have to hangout in VRC one day
Same goes for most of the server 
no ur cool
Gay means into people of the same gender in 2019 lol why not just use happy?
No u
no thk u
no homo
They found the issue there is a ethernet unplugged https://imgur.com/LNQCuyh
Happy is not allowed. Only homo ❤
WOAH
woof
read my profile pic
@thorny sail lmaoooo
OOF
Tupper is best trap
It's kind of hard to
click on it
Yeah it's still trapped in a circle.
i want some pizza
"something something person above triple gay"
You'll probably want to hit up a pizza website for that 😄
image of the server team finding the issue https://imgur.com/yVnEnCi
i want pizza
@frail hound Yeah I figured it was something boring and unfunnuy like that.
nothing open to order from now sadly
hmmm
@vocal shard i am down
me preparing for the nepbar
well i do have some fried chicken
I want to woof too ToT Must work tho
O: when are they gonna fix that but that makes me login sometimes
I think there close to the problem some one didn't read the sign https://imgur.com/BmFrFnI
dont they use amazon servers
ye
cloud storage cuz ez 2 manage, quick, and not need 2 handle all the storage and space and watever
you'd expect better from amazon server wise tho
Nah the servers are build by ikea
amazon takes about 2-4 days shipping so i guess we are done
Does anyone know how to get rid of stream delay while using this an OBS for twitch?
https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/news/234085-problems-at-amazon-web-services
Seems to align with issues I saw today outside of VRC
If im not mistaken there will always be delays, things cant be instant. Like the speech on vrchat, and on discord calls
@eternal sun I think Twitch always has a certain amount of delay. Better than YT.
Mixer is the fastest for no-delay streaming I've found.
@past vapor Do you know if this is normal?
60 seconds is huge...
if what is
Thanks for the replies, yeah it is
if you use your own website to stream you cant get the delay down a ridiculous amount
by that involves linux cli commands
I use plugin openvrcapture, maybe thats not good?
no its good.
A delay for twitch streams
isn't the delay there in case someone puts gore on your screen or something

I assume its normal even at that length but like I dont stream
hey is the thing fixed to where u can upload a 2017 model to a 5.6 blueprint
OBS had an update 2 days ago.
the new update lets you log into twitch IN obs which is kinda neat
The delay is because its complicated for it to occur instantly, upliad speeds I think. Even discord calls have delays
On Twitch it's usually only a few seconds. YT is usually more like 15 seconds. (Makes playing Jackbox over stream hard)
also new encoder settings
oh interesting ill check that out djcasso
yeah if you update obs and go to the stream settings, you can log into twitch instead of just using the stream key.
letting you have the twitch chat and stream settings connected to obs.
@stone current when you upload using new unity, it will override the 5.6.3 one
Reverse way will break it
and didnt know if it ended up being fixed
Oh awesome dj, thanks again
to reduce stream lag and frame drops... make sure you have good internet? and go into advanced video settings in obs and play around with the encoder settings. maybe put it on "max performance" if ur using hardware instead of software?
5.6 version of Unity? Yikes, that's pretty old isnt' it?
well i am reupload a character
Yeah 100mbs internet so ill play around with the advanced settings also
The old
we no longer use anymore

plus uploading using 5.6.3 will break rotation on gamrobjects or completely break the animation.
You should not be uploading anything via 5.6 anymore, if you are you're either an old user returning and don't know we've updated, or a twit and all problems you encounter are 100% your fault and nobody will help you beyond "update unity lol"
that was a general you btw, not directed at anyone specifically.
or a twit
Huehue
👀

so booored
do a flip
What’s the deal with most worlds having baked lighting? It makes my avatars look unlit and weird
because realtime lighting is not performant
@idle hawk oh okay
I don't think my internet is a issue.. I mean 100mbps should be very much enough.
🤔 Does not having anime girl avatars make you weird?
@hollow umbra What shader do you use?
I don't think my internet is a issue.. I mean 200kbps should be very much enough.
@still lark fake light arc system shader
200kbps? That is very slow by today's standards.
It’s allows me to have shadows even in dark or baked world
it is.
Trust me
It might as well be the thing that actually limits your gameplay.
That's like 1.6Mbit/s, today's standards are at 10+Mbit/s
I still use cubed sometimes because it has some nice outline and gives my avatar a nice cartoon look
If your internet download speed is higher than 10 Mbit/s then you can rest assured it's not your internet unless you've got a really unstable WiFi connection.
Downloading 200mb worlds with 200kb/s is a tedious task and requires patience
Aswell as loading any avatars
let's say it like that
Just get a better internet plan, seeing kb makes me remember the dark ages
Too bad I haven't moved out yet
Very nice
Amazon was having issues earlier today and they should be subsiding by now.
Which side of the us do you live in
man i was just about to start ERPing and THIS HAPPENS

I recently order a big item and it’s perfectly inprogress to my house
servers still down im guessing?
I'm also experiencing downloading issues
Some can play, but some cant
risky lives up to their name apparently lol
People are having intermittent issues but the servers aren't down. Theres still over 5000 people online right now
AssetBundleDownloadManager is freaking out
man i cant stand snooze's maze
Yes, he's very very nervous on the job
i wish friends would stop going there.
Whos job?
My man AssetBundleDownloadManager
oh lol
jk jk I'd head to #user-support-old if you are actually having issues
Higher chance of the issue being addressed and seen there
why are all the avatars red and no image
I'm blue dabadeyabadeeee
no
some load but most dont
??
Nice one
nvm its ok
Hmmmmm
it is, some of the experiences you can have are great
Thank you for being a positive guy @sonic wing :) nice to see
Sounds rough man
Is that the real skizzoo
mmmmmmm
XD
You are ban evading @sonic wing ?
XD oh I remember when owl kicked me from the pug
Maybe should not have broken the rules then?
skizz needs cuddles to
SKIZZ, you need em more than anyone else here tbh
XD
I'm hiding
'yea im evading a ban so what'
im online in vrvhat finalllly
that doesn tmake any sense
oof its back for me
if u liked the game u wouldnt get urself banned in the first place smart boye
SKIZZ, I'd reccomend that you stop lad, chat mod's in the house
You know that if you're banned in game, you're supposed to be banned here too... And you just admitted in the public server to a chat mod (owlboy) that you're ban evading.
Risky there dude
Skizzoo just wants to play lol
My boy Jamie just filled me in
Welp... I think my VRChat is F***ed up for good now...
if u liked the game u wouldnt get urself banned in the first place
Why were you banned?
well obviously something did
Servers are down?
I mean I'm online
Give us the short one
then either appeal it or just dont play vrchat maybe
I kee[ getting to the error world after clearing my cache...
I'm not sure if being a dick will help Wunder
But aight, you do you
y would u need 2 get in contact with mod so bad xd
That's a yikes from me pal
not rlly
avatar cloning exists so, doesnt have 2 be in a world at all
also yea they dont check avatars, just their performance ratings
so what
What do you even check them for
they dont check avatars, just their performance ratings
Crashing uganda isnt a public map, its a private map with the same name and image.
its not
if it doesnt look like it breaks TOS, it runs well, and it has decent performance stats
then its a pass for that avatar
That requires main checking, good luck with that.
well im sure they know theyre not doing it
You want them to manually check all worlds then?
well im sure they know theyre not doing it
its not like theyre unawaringly ignoring avatar checks
its just not something that might be checked
also if u want 2 report a world or avatar then do so
u dont need 2 spam developers bc their team is doing something 'they shouldnt' unless it rlly is something they shouldnt be doing like illegal activies etc
well there was still moderation reports
And even if so- We know what your saying is mostly true. We have reported plenty of ToS breaking worlds* in here ourself even to the effect of the rules being changed for it. (Advertising in worlds).
But they dont ban you for just having an opinion. I had a strong one in the past on everything and im still around kicking. Aslong as you dont break the rules or give them a option to clap ya you , they cant really get away with it...
u couldnt report in-game but u could call mod (or send moderation report)
Lmao
then just dont upload the map or do something like that
not like u didnt do anything lmao u kinda asked 4 it
again if u like the game so much just dont get banned e.e
Shouldn't had bad avatars in your world. Smh
You wanted to prove a point by doing the illegal thing and then wonder why you get punished?
But you know what you did wrong and taking further action to do even more wrong was not smart. If you didnt do that the odds of you being banned where not there. Normally a world upload ban at worse lasts a month.
then idk write a good appeal
but its not like u can rlly hit undo button after u killed people
an appeal that is longer than a paragraph
Fairly sure they dont really accept appeals for ban avoiding unless a fair bit of time has passed
And as he just admitted to avoiding the ban still they wont accept it.
some ppl wrote like an entire essay lmao
some did get accepted tho bc reasonable and apologetic
No
and actually tried 2 follow rules
u havent rlly changed at all considering ur literally still ban evading
😂 God i love tech companies fucking up there certificates
Legit how incompetent can they be at times
You were banned for something you purposely did.
Its like those self lacing shoes failing or the oculus bricking itself. Love that stuff.
yea ill clean up my act, ill stop hacking on fortnite!
(hacks on fortnite the day after)
yea we kinda do, what u did doesnt rlly matter
ur not some vrchat vigiliante and i still dont know what u did that would make sense 2 not be bannable
hahaha hes gone
I think everyone understands it but does not agree with the actions being taken.
What is fine, everyone can have there own opinion and i do kinda understand why you did it. But Imo it was just not smart to do that...
XD all his messages where wiped lol
And welp rip- Guess a senior chatmod woke up
Was to be expected
he was banned from server
Nice
he still isnt smart... he said he 'used to ban evade and edit my world' and guess what he is doing now, ... 'ban [evading] and [editing] my world'
i can see y this wouldnt work lmao
And admiting to the chat mods that he is breaking the discords rules. You arent allowed within the server if you are banned 
i wonder if vrchat keeps track of devices, IP, and hardware
Guess jamie or owlboy forwarded it towards a senior boy
Yea they do lol XD
And mhmm admitting to that is a dumb move lol
yea then they can probably be like
'ok whats his vrchat name?' 'kool so whats other users with the same things...' '*removes alts*'
But hey, lets drop the topic. We know what happened, gave our opinion on what he should have done, he knew what would happen just as we did so 
^ was about to say the same
are servers still having issues or we good?
Block account by ip
Servers seem back to normal for me.
But would easily be bypassed by vpn
Have just been on for two hours with no problems.
Nvm
of devices, IP, and hardware
I was able to connect to VRChat 2 and a half hours ago
could spoof all probably but still
Ban account by DNA and finger scan tho. 🤔
No issues there
imagine the future now
Nah, can't stop those kind of people I guess
DNA account login sounds spooky, but hey, less edgelord crashers at least.
DNA account login sounds lit. No more typing in all my passwords. 😮
Require eye scan to play vrchat
You guys are kinda clueless, there's more ways to make these systems harder to bypass by adding additional restrictions, but these restrictions can be bypassed just as easily, which don't involve you being ZUCCed
Or, use the headsets eye tracking for retina scan.
lol
But what if my mom can sign into my vrchat account cause she has similar DNA? 🤔
But hacker mom 😮
if you have a clone, RIP you
And that would kinda involve some form of drawing blood or some painful process to prove ya DNA
Identical twin.
But even identical twins have diff dna
Not pracitcal and painful. Identical twin = identical looks
That's as far as it's guranteed to go imo, anything more is kinda luck
lol imagine how scuffed a voice recognition login would be.
"To form identical or monozygotic twins, one fertilised egg (ovum) splits and develops into two babies with exactly the same genetic information. To form fraternal or dizygotic twins, two eggs (ova) are fertilised by two sperm and produce two genetically unique children."
just like, record me saying stuff and boom. ur in my account.
Either way, various levels of banning do still work, regardless of whether there's methods to bypass or not.
For plenty of casual crashers and client users, even using a VPN can be too much effort to bother dealing with.
And even if it only stops 1 in 10 from returning, that's worth while.
When Overwatch did it's initial anti-cheat campaign, the game hacking and script kiddie community was livid over it. They'd never seen such an effective campaign before and hated it.
VRChat still being weird?
Didn't check myself, just heard it from friends and saw the Twitter post 5 minutes ago.
"Hackers" crying.
https://youtu.be/wcS5CH0dk6k
when a bby buy a script off some random website and claim they are ultra hacker
;-;
i still cant get in, it just gives me an infinite loading screen
+12V 8.208 V 😬 YIKES!
I might need a better PSU, and/or to remove something from my system to decrease load...
Hmm, speccy is giving some really weird numbers and I wonder if they're wrong.
!online
There are 6002 users in VRChat currently
Anyone in the community going to E3 this year?

does anyone know how to change the polygon count?
Anyone know any good, active worlds
is there a way to change the polygon count in unity? thats honestly the only reason a few of my models arent uploading
Also how do I search for avatars and worlds on oculus?
@zealous fulcrum You'll need to decimate the models using a 3D package of some kind. Blender3D is OSS and free. Maya student edition can be downloaded for free...
There could be some online tools to do it too, but I don't use any.
okay, ill have to look up how to do that, cuz i just dont know
https://help.sketchfab.com/hc/en-us/articles/205852789-MeshLab-Decimating-a-model <-- this could be easier for you
<@&385550615012573186>
hey
Thank you ❤
<3
You got it
Got what ?
it
Ah nevermind, i'm too tired x3
Thanks again ^^
lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
ok, so now when i open up vrchat it will log me in, then give me a blank screen, and then bring up the logging in interface again. what does that mean?
You did attempt to reenter you login informations, right ?
no
That could be the trick.
i use steam though
oof
oooooooof
Isn't it weird that most avatars proportions are so far from reality, that when you make an avatar with actual real proportion, you end up like "There's something wrong with it 🤔 " because we are so used to unrealistic proportions anyway 😅
I actually don't know what you're talking about but I'm gonna pretend I do and say yeah.
Realistic proportions always make me feel like immersion just got turned up to 11. Like "wow, this feels so real"
Compared to normally feeling like on stilts
yeah the vast majority of anime-ish models on VRChat have super duper long legs. Feet trackers for FBT more often than not end up in the ankles or knees. 😅
Mhmm
https://i.imgur.com/6o0Guh3.png
Quick and dirty and kinda wrong comparison, but still, that gives a good idea how long are the legs.
Dang
Yup. It's a little freaky when you put an anime avatar against one that has proportions that are close to a real human
I mean, I use an avatar that's basically a normal, average-looking human. Probably the most boring one possible. I've had a few other players comment about how "weird" I look.
When normal becomes abnormal. XD
I have seen some genuinely bizarre avatars. Like one guy I saw had a tank as an avatar. Not an anime anthropomorphized tank, a literal Soviet main battle tank. Another guy had a rock. Just...a rock.
Not gonna lie, I kinda wanted to copy the rock avatar, but he left before I got a chance.
Soviet tank seems to be a recurring thing in the presentation room for some reason 🤔
There's some damn strange stuff out there, man.
I'd love to know where they're getting these things from.
Anyone know if the devs plan on adding finger tracking for the Valve Knuckles?
is vrchat fixed
morning
welp, there we go. finally got paid today, and spent most of it on a new GPU and the modmic wireless 
Concerning DOXXING and hacking -- there are people using VRchat to hack and dox personal information about users including myself. I just had a user unknown to me come up to me discussing my full name and other personal details that are not listed on my steam account including password information of myself and of VRCHAT DEVS.
@serene talon If this is actual real facts, I would contact the moderators. moderation@vrchat.com
they knew my password at least, and my full name without me providing it to them.
can't get doxxed if you don't put any of that info online hue
I never provided it.
you don't have to. but your facebook online can. or instagram. or twitter.
or anything
How would my VRChat account be connected to my twitter and how would they know?
I've never spoken to them
I dont have Facebook.
They could of possibily found out your IP address and looked that up
Without malicious intent I find it hard to believe they would have needed that information.
You use different usernames right ? Using the same username would be a big giveaway
Yes.
But same email for the registrations
Still wondering how I owe a stranger my password and full name
I think the minute he started calling me by my full name I just about lost it
Yes that is my public twitter. I have a private twitter as well.
yiiikes
Yikes what?
that was yours? it can probably lead to your private in osme way
That doesnt have my name on that.
some-
But thanks for posting it here.
If they somehow get their hands on the email used for all of your registrations on all websites, they will have a way to request password reset for all accounts associated to that email.
I told you it was terrifying
That's not mine. I just clicked on it and screamed
I wondered why you thought it was terrifying
But yeah, compromised email would be very, very bad.
Like they would have access to everything that isn't protected by some two-step verification. And since lots of websites ask for name, birthday and location... that's easy to find I guess.
that was just a google search but if I went more into it I probably could of found something maybe but Im lazy so
google search your IP
and then added themselves to my friend list and my friends friends list
They what added themselves? I didn't even think that one was possible
It is.
They probably somehow logged on your account.
They send a friend request to themselves using your account. Then accepted the request on their account. And voilà, they are now friend of your account.
Oh yeah if they knew your password they did. I don't know how a friend of mine did it but there were literally two of her logged in at the same time and two of her at the asme time
same time-
just launch game twice
Last night this person my friend knew came into a private world, hid in the ceiling and dropped 100 portals on everyone til we all couldnt walk anywhere lol
VRChat has no restriction on number of clients running eh ?
nope
So you can hang with your own clones eh ? 🤔
yeah..that's how you make your own friends..
Yeah ❤
You can hangout with... Yourself... Yay.....
form your own barbershop quartet
"You are your best friend" lol
ive made 4 so far
I'm just sicknot how malicious shit gets lately. its ok with the fun and games but not with doxxing. Saying my full name and password in a public box is ridiculous enough but now what they do with my personal info is up to them
@prisma plover That's true actually
they'll probably just order you some mc donalds from uber driver and have it already paid
doubt it lol
@serene talon What I would do to secure everything back:
- Create a new email. Different password this time. Two-step verification enabled on said email.
- Log on all accounts associated to the old email and change the email to the new one on each account.
- Change all passwords on all accounts. Different password for each. At least 10 characters. No full words, make it impossible to guess. Enable two-step verification on the websites that support it.
If needed, one can use a password manager to save all passwords in a place safe. They usually use both a main password (so basically the one password that you must absolutely remember) and a key file that you must place on a device that nobody has direct access (except yourself).
It may also be a good idea to change the password on your old (current) email first and make sure there is no forwarding addresses set. On gmail at least, changing the password also signs out anybody currently logged in to your account
If needed, one can has to use a password manager to save all passwords in a place safe.
password managers are a must in this day and age
Oh yeah, change password first, then email. Not the other way around I guess.
Also having different emails for different purposes is a must too I guess.
I should probably do a big spring clean at some point... then again https://haveibeenpwned.com/ apparently my main email has "only" been in 6 breaches
Me too. 6 breeches.
No breaches for me
well, once I sort some things out IRL I'll probably get a new main email anyways
Oh another thing: some people will go out of their way to make life hell for you. Watch out for social engineering attacks and phishing emails. It might be more likely once they know some of your information like your name
Is it good if you have 0 breaches in your main email ?
I have... so many emails I can't even count them anymore. 😅
I only have 2
@vocal shard It's great.
How can you get breached ?
If she used google chrome to store her passwords It's possible that they were easily knacked (google chrome sucks when it comes to keeping passwords lol) and this person got her vr chat log in and all of her log ins and got this information then decided to come in vr chat and tell her about it.
when the site you signed up for with your email has poor security
like dropbox for instance
Using the same password on your email account elsewhere is one way. Having ever used yahoo. Using any small independent forum like runs php or wordpress
Those used to not even salt your password back in the day
yep
Passwords stored in plain text.
Having used that password in any site with a data breach in the last 10 years
even our Telekom is apparently not salting our passwords, the help desk actually knows the last X characters of your passwords
Oof. Be careful. Yeah all ISPs I've ever had from at&t to comcast have been eager to read my password to me or ask for it over the phone. I don't get what it is with isps but they are the worst
Two-step / SMS verification is the reason that made me buy a cellphone.
So wait,
How can you get breached ?
I didn't got it :c
that's good
Some companies have lost records of hundreds of millions of user records
That may include you and it may include your email and password, depending on how (in)competent those companies were 5 years ago
@vocal shard Basically hackers get access to the database with all the login information of all the people using the services associated with that database. Like email, password, potentially name, birthday, location, etc.
This is why you should not give your information over the iinnnteerrnneeeet
And the Internet is the opposite of that. They want to know everything about you.
I don't have anything about me online lol
Looks sideways at Google
looks upside down at facebook
I've given up on keeping as much of my information private mostly because of Google and their services. but I do make it a point to try to not have any pictures of myself anywhere online and directly linked to my person
google is like the only evil I "trust" with my information, mostly out of convenience
but I don't use any social networks like Facebook... I even rarely use twitter anymore these days
@vocal shard I'd beg to differ considering you not only have discord but have possibly used a credit card, had a bank account or purchased something online sometime in the past 5 years
If all of the above is false I'll leave you to return to your cave dwelling
Lol
you can't really avoid giving out your bank or credit card information anywhere
it doesn't just apply online
When equifax lost data, that was of anyone who had a credit card or somehow ended up in their database
good thing I don't use a CC 😄 only paypal or direct bank transfer
So there's a chance even you have some of your information floating out there
Paypal you say?
yeah, I know...
well yes you actually can't avoid that.
It'll happen to everyone's bank accounts eventually. having your bank account information out there is literally unavoidable
even if you don't buy anything online
this should be known already
This is the problem with data breaches. They concern information you may not have even given out yourself. Probably won't include your password, but they may include information that allows a social engineering effort to take place (ultimately leading to account access anyway)
well, at least here in the EU/Austria we have like a supposedly safe standard API to handle bank transfers
Just make sure to change your password often. And have verification on so if they do purchases, you can refuse the purchases.
Also don't use those stupid "Security questions", they can bypass that stuff super easily.
answer those questions with something completely unrelated
Like paypal could give your billing information including name and address to the seller who will then store it in their database (possibly breaching gdpr but what can you do)
Yeah I suppose only good way to answer those question is to literally use them as a second, third and maybe forth layer of passwords. 😅
you don't even need a data breached for credit card fraud. people who take your credit card in real life whether it be a cashier at walmart or a fast food restaurant.
What's happening here? 
You'd have to prove it somehow. If it's some customer records they intended to keep offline but kept connected by sheer incompetence hard to know
#general-media has bled over in here
@queen mango Somebody got their account compromised
Ah sorry. Started out of a discussion of doxxing and how to keep your information and accounts secure. Email password gets lost = you are in trouble
or it was someone who actually knew who she was and was messing with her is also possible
and honestly more likely because Idk how they got that info out of vr chat xD
Yikes.. first thing's first is to separate your account from your hardware as much as possible
Among other accounts as well, so that they don't get compromised too
Well maybe she let her name or email slip in public and then they found the password in a database
Email having strong and different password is vital
One email per account. Each with an unique password. Each with a two step verification enabled... wait you cant, they don'T want you to use a cellphone on more than one account, the idiots. 🤔
Now c'mon now..
Solution: buys 72 cellphones !
😆
"Why do you have like 5 different cellphones ?."
"Because Google"
It's the reason why you have to study cybersecurity
Alternatively, some game companies progressively switched to actual hardware tokens for login.
I had one email compromised by some dude in Ukraine once.
I still have his IP. 🤔
Okay... firstly, let's not get to that.
Secondly, go to #general-media for these kinds of topics
They have cloudflare ddos protection.
That is proper ddos protection, dont talk about things you dont understand.
Yeah why not cloudflare 2? Hm?
Who says its ddos.
I don't think there are, I don't hear about them very often
Network issues =/= ddos
You just getting logged out or somethin?
No it wasn't?
We get download issues pretty often, the ddos pretty much stopped anyone from even logging on
Well not _thatd often, they're usually not this long.
I mean it could be a ddos, but the last ddos wasn't similar to this at all
is it possible currently to get vrchat on mac
Not if youre not already in the NVidia gamestream beta.
Alternatively use bootcamp to make a windows partition.
how long does it usually take to get the beta access
I saw someone playing VRChat & OSRS at the same time.. He would flip his wrist and his desktop with OSRS would come up?.. How does he do this?
Just wanna thank the team for making this game exist
VRC safe today?
We can only hope
I don't think the latest exploits have been patched yet
Then again, latest patch mentioned "security updates"
@wicked hedge If you mean with the problem from yesterday?
Only real way to find out is to try it. Yesterday it was already fixed for some users but not for all so 
it work well today
A couple avatars downloaded painfully slow several hours ago but it's been pretty good overall
hello
yeah I got on last night for several hours and had no issues
I once had a untrustworthy forum owner notice that my hashed password was the same as his friends hash, while he didn’t know my password; he just told the other guy I had the same password as him and he let his friend run amok on my account.
Moral Use unique passwords
so during the past 3 nights in vrchat, i have crashed... 12 times, if i've counted correctly. as has everyone playing in the murder lobbies.
is it the new update or...?
Loooool
hello
i have BSOD in vrchat
what happen?
idk?
probably a blue screen crasher if it just randomly happened
true
I really hope the new GPU helps with the random vrchat crashes...

Yea. I really hope that this new power strip really helps me with my non-existent GPU to run better
well, what would be the reason for the game randomly going blackscreen and not responding anymore?
updates?
that's... a weird way to handle updates
I mean, i'm kinda new to vrchat.
I never crash in vrc might be world specific ?
Murder lobbies.
it was in the pug
Then it’s probably other people’s avatars

i keep telling people to change them.
i even gotta seizure box in the face for it.
yes, thats what i'm calling aoe shaders.
Yeah public murder means no shaders or animations. For ANY rank. Even friends. Lol.
So much trolling
i even have some dude on my Kick on Sight list whenever i see him in a murder lobby.
may i post his name or no?
No comment
Eh, i won't then.
Found some obscure mention of it on reddit back when I got my vive a few years ago
how do i bypas poly count with new sdk
@ember arch
You ping me for a reason?
You're literally asking how to bypass a limitation on the official Discord lol @ornate pawn
Is 70k not already enough for you?
Yes I ping for a reason :3
Oh?
@median basalt clearly 70k isnt enough
First is how are you?
Going to bed
Well then you'll have to decimate or not upload it lol
Well then you shouldn't be uploading anything.
70k def is enough
You should take pretty much every model through Blender for various reasons, optimization being an important one. If you can't be bothered optimizing your stuff then you shouldn't be uploading avatars. On top of that, asking how to modify your SDK on the official Discord is extremely dumb.
Isn't that bannable?
i asked cause idc iif im banned
It is
Figured
I could sympathize when the limit was 20k, but if you can't fit your model in 70k tris then you'll have to find something else
this person is clearly just trolling and thus best ignored I'd say
The worst part is that he probably isn't trolling, some people are just stupid.
my polygons are 412465
400k polys is way too much and you'll probably end up being blocked by people with that many
Thats tooo many and youll be banned from vrc for that no doubt
Cats has an automatic decimation tool
if they block me then its whatever i wouldnt wanna be friends with them anyways
It takes 10 seconds to use
They wouldnt wanna be friends qith you
they might
Nobody sane would have you not blocked for all those polys
Good models are low poly lol
^1^
Thatss my bfs model, mega cute and not 50000 polys
@ornate pawn 1: We won't help you bypass the poly limit. It's literally in the rules for use of vrc.
2: You can get amazing looking models with well under 30k polys. It just takes skill.
i rather spend my time LIVING
Thats a joke
400k isnt that much?
for a vrchat avatar dingus
I have an entire village that's like 30k tris lol
You ever heard the saying less is more
I dont know if I misread it
But my FSB avatar is 5k polygons
And he is fairly detailed
400k is much more than 5k
yes thats the point
Not sure what FSB is
russian special forces
Ah
Is it a game model by any chance?
Professional game studios are great at making low poly stuff look good
I prefer STALKER models, if I could get some
I believe it is
I wanna be a cheeki bandit damnit
could be from modern warfare 2
Hang on, lemme get a quick google
With good model topology and pulling some of the fancier tricks with normal maps you can get a lot of detail out of a fairly low poly model.
can someone decimate this hammer i have for me
You can get a lot of mileage out of a low poly model, lighting is something you can use to try and mask it
Idk, work with what tools ya got and you can make any model look good
@ornate pawn Install blender, open it in blender, add decimate modifier, bring value down, hit apply. Done.
thats a pain in my ass
That's what I've seen in the past from various game studios who have pulled off amazing looks with low poly models
They just knew how to use other resources
If it's such a pain then why are you asking others to do it for you
It takes like 10 seconds
because its a pain
Your attitude could be described as the same
Then there's nothing more we can do for you if that's too much trouble for you.
A hammer can literally get away with Planar decimation and still look decent
@ornate pawn If it's a pain in the ass then you don't have to do it
my attitude wouldnt be this way if the sdk poly count was more
70k is a lot
You're asking for it to be increased to over 400k which would be insane
Hey there, average person here, would rather not have my PC fried by a crappy model
You would still be that way, you would just upload it with impunity lmao
ty ty
@ornate pawn it will literally take you 1 minute to decimate it
maybe if u guys buy a better pc we wont have this issue
Congratulations
Stop making this our problem, we aren't responsible for your problems
That's going in my vault for "Why do people not think before they speak"
my pc can run it so
Are you on desktop?
Pull the other one. A lot of us here run stuff like GTX1080's, we have good computers. You're just being lazy at this point so stop complaining and decimate the damn thing.
Yea, I run a hefty ass rig
Same
Poorly optimized BS still destroys my framerates even with a good PC
inb4 "Ohh optimize it for me it's too much of a pain in my ass"
If you're on desktop you have no authority to say "get better PC's", because you aren't affected by low FPS or performance issues nearly as much
And besides that, you're asking everyone to just shell out $2000 for a new PC because you can't be bothered to optimize
That's like painting a piece then telling someone to go get new glasses if they can see that the painting for what it is: a bad one
just tolet u guys know i was joking
"I was only pretending to be dumb lol"
Classic defense lol, be dumb and then pretend you were only pretending to be dumb all along
rokk ill stick this hammer up ur ass
I have this person "..." Blocked he is just stirring trouble and his goal is to make problems
good call Lycon
thats a yikers
I checked history he messaged me trying to make me send him my unity project 😂
Nice grammar
Not open to criticism, blaming others for his shortcomings, and just a lazy PoS
Just saying, getting those vibes
Can someone help me out with these custom animation tools?
Because mine is not working.
Muscle Animation Editor?
Uhhh, I mean like making a gesture and then having something in your hand.
I checked tutorials and everything, but in the end it isn't working.
make an animation that activates the object on the first keyframe then override whichever gesture you want. EZ
So use the gesture override to play that animation when x gesture is made?
its extremely simple
why when i play vr chat it says to upgrade the graphics driver?
You may be running on an older AMD driver which has issues with geometry shaders
if i go off geometry shaders i can play?
Alright, well, when I try to add the property so I can animate the tool, what would I add? Mesh Renderer: Enabled?
Game Object: Enabled
The object should be disabled by default, you set the object's "is active" property
How do I change the color of my vive controllers in game?
ahhh i going to delete :c

i cant play because i need to upgrade graphics driver :c
i cant see anybody in vrc
Make sure you are on the most up to date version of the game
how do i update it?
On what platform do you play? Steam, viveport, Oculus store?
steam
it says to update the driver
Then close steam via task manager and restart it
If it needs to update something then it should trigger
nvidia?
@desert marsh Well i suggest updating your drivers then ;p
how i update lel ;-;
You know what card you have inside your computer?
I had that issue a while back with the popup before, Luckily i have AMD RX graphics and they have a built in updater on their software.
i use Radeon
How do i add an object i have to blender to decimate it comes with multiple meshes
Moo
@umbral ivy I don't know if it would work, but selecting all the mesh (A key) then Ctrl+J to join the meshes together. Then decimate. Not sure if that works.
What sort of format does that mesh come in ?
You need to make sure the game is up to date- When did it last work?
before the update
And did you download the update? Like did steam install it for you
@umbral ivy
.asset is most likely an Unity format.
Can't be imported in Blender I think. You need to most likely import the fbx file that is inside that .asset file.
How
Ingame what is your build number?
@umbral ivy If you import the .asset file in Unity, it should extract itself and you will get all the files inside that .asset file showing up in the assets window. Then it's just a matter of right clicking the file you want and "Show in explorer". That will show you where the file is.
Its not a unity asset file like that
ingame build number?
When your ingame, open your menu and screenshot it
704
It should be 704
Your game isnt up to date
Restart steam and the update should trigger
i did, twice
It should be 715*
I wonder if verifying files integrity could trigger the update. 🤔
do i need to uninstall vrchat and reinstall it again?
Also might wokr
guys is this possible to guy kicked me from room there was 2 guys and one was afk?
If he is the instance owner yes
no he not
i just went to room of my friend and this guys just said bad thing about me and then i got kicked and got message like most of the half users voted for kick
Well.. You got your answer then
I was unsure if 50% of the users or 51% or the users had to vote for a votekick but you answered your own question...
downloading map take's forever
I got an internet upgrade recently so that is less of an issue for me, but I feel you. It suuuucked
By the time I would load into a world, my friends would be leaving or would have already left by the time I got there
If you have an oculus, but use a VRChat account on steam and do not have full body I highly recommend trying the oculus store version with your VRChat account, I get double fps
The oculus store version does run way better
SteamVR is just extra fluff for oculus it’s an unnecessary middleman
Needed for full body but otherwise not
the more components you add to anything, the rate of failure goes up exponentially
as well as less layers of software the better. Look at consoles. They have low spec hardware, yet can trade blows with mid range PC's
needed for anything other than just oculus headset and controllers (or a gamepad)
20mb/s with telephone optical internet it's a pretty good thing
but before vrchat new update one world with 10 was downloaded in 1 minute
and now it's downloaded in 15 minutes
so vrchat has a problem not me
hii
Hello there
hey i got a problem
whats ur problem
There really should be a wet floor sign
i dont know if there is a channel for this but i am not able to dowload vr chat because i have a mac and i want to know if there is any way around that like dowloading some thing
But using VR in a Mac is out of the question, as the internal specs of the Mac cannpt handle it. Specifically the GPU
oh jea i was talking about desctop.
People hang in public instances for only as long as it takes them to make a core friend group and then they stop being in public. Sadly this makes it harder and harder to make new friends the later you join in. The game can seem emptier than it is
Don’t really have a solution to this but I do see it as a issue
:/ It's so nice then when you end up bundling up with some peeps to chat. But yeah.. but for the most part I just jump around the worlds for like 1-2hours hoping to find someone to converse with.
Same, I feel that
