vrchat-general-2

[civic plume]

then your a girl ! nothing else matters

[desert stratus]

im a lot more lax with my settings tbh

[median basalt]

I always have my shield set to none

[frail gate]

Monty the issue is, a lot of people i encounter don't think that way, will harass me

[civic plume]

but anyway, i never have them on unless i want a descent convo to last a while. other than that im vanilla

[frail gate]

and because i'm a really shy person, i find it hard to do anything other than blank and just stop playing vrchat

[desert stratus]

and havent gotten crashed unless i specificslly join my one friend who hangs out with people that have bad avatafs

the safe spot is to only let shaders be visible for users, snd particles for known users

[frail gate]

that's why i can't do public lobbies, it's too much stress for me

[verbal sigil]

i love public lobbies

[desert stratus]

trustedd users are the only ones allowed to have animations, and i have audio disabled across the board unless im not in the box or pug

[vocal shard]

pubs are the shit

[civic plume]

i like mic night, been there quite much to see such wow lately

[desert stratus]

i get being rlly shy in vrc

[queen mango]

It's why I do not go to those things anymore

[civic plume]

uhm

[desert stratus]

i was like that for the first month or so of playing and nobody judges

[civic plume]

@queen mango .... your name.....

[desert stratus]

you can get good with 9/10 people by giving them headpats in front of a .mirror

[frail gate]

i just can't, i just can't do public lobbies

people are awful, they call trans women horrible names and trans men

[queen mango]

Some things have changed just a few minutes ago.

[civic plume]

its active chat mod now

oh ok then :p

[queen mango]

Even I myself was surprised by it

[civic plume]

lol

[median basalt]

People just get called shitty names in general, if you find such a person just mute and/or block them

[ruby burrow]

Surely randoms in public can't really know whether you're trans though? Unless specifically brought up?

[frail gate]

my vrchat username

is kiera (she/her)

[ruby burrow]

I'd have thought that's something that would only be mentioned to friends after you trust them.

[frail gate]

i literally get called trap even when i say i'm trans, it's not just a 'woopsie they made a mistake'

[civic plume]

my vrchat user name is ||you actually thought i would?||

[desert stratus]

tbh i think vrchat's userbase has a lot of support for lgbtq+ just not a whole lot in public lobbies tho

[median basalt]

You put your pronouns in your username?

[desert stratus]

thats in my experience tho and its a good thing that weve got a lot of good people

[frail gate]

Yes, because i get misgendered a lot and it makes me really uncomfortable,,,

[median basalt]

Not gonna lie, that's gonna attract a lot of attention.

[verbal sigil]

@civic plume nice username, mine is || you actually thought i would too? ||

what a fail

[civic plume]

i saw that lol

[frail gate]

the pronouns barely attract attention

[verbal sigil]

No u didn't

[civic plume]

darn lloll

[median basalt]

Trust me, they do

[frail gate]

in fact they barely fucking work, i still get called he/him

[median basalt]

Yeah that's what I mean

[ruby burrow]

One friend of mine gets called a trap purely because his VRC name is a female one. Is just the name of his OC, that he built the avatar based on.

[frail gate]

and it stressed me out

[civic plume]

yes i did

[frail gate]

stresses*

[verbal sigil]

NO you didn't

[vocal shard]

my vrchat name is ||Kindbot (toaster you dipshit)||

[rigid crescent]

VRC discord mod team was like "Hey we noticed you guys give actively assblasted and shit on while working because your name isn't purple, here ya go."

[civic plume]

kiera regardless of what you say to people, theres always gonna be people that will say it wrong. you just need to build internal resistance against it

[stone current]

[verbal sigil]

@shy spoke wutt

[median basalt]

I like how they had to differentiate between active chat mods and the non-active ones

[frail gate]

it's really hard to say 'just ignore them' when you have dysphoria

[median basalt]

Guess it's a more accurate rank anyway

[frail gate]

Dysphoria is fucking horrible, sometimes i literally can't do normal things like using the bathroom and showering because looking at myself is just, too much

[civic plume]

my actual vrchat name is ||my discord wink||

[verbal sigil]

[frail gate]

i hate living with it and if i could remove it and live as a cis man i gladly fucking would

[verbal sigil]

@civic plume So your vrchat name is "my discord wink"? what a long name

[civic plume]

lol and thats why i did not directly say it

[stone current]

🐶

[heavy dawn]

@desert stratus "you can get good with 9/10 people by giving them headpats in front of a .mirror"
Well... you're not wrong. 💜

[desert stratus]

see! u get it :>

u should hmu tomorrow we gotta get a headpat party rolling

[civic plume]

[verbal sigil]

I did that and that person blocked me

[desert stratus]

well it is wise to ask for headpats first

[civic plume]

yes

[desert stratus]

assk for consent that is

[civic plume]

it is very wise ||i prefer forced||

[heavy dawn]

Yeah I guess touching someone in VR without asking is almost as invasive as IRL.

[desert stratus]

pico ur coming along too

[vocal shard]

meh, I just pat

[verbal sigil]

so... "hey random person in front of a mirror, Can i pat you?"

[vocal shard]

i mean I just get patted

I don't say anything, it's fine

[ruby burrow]

I feel that's surely a bit too much. Asking consent to headpat. ^ ^;

[civic plume]

yeah i agree letor ||lol its a virtual 3d space are you crazy XD||

[desert stratus]

some people rlly do get bothered by it

especially those sensitive to pphantom touch

[ruby burrow]

Almost goes beyond politeness, and instead becomes creepy and paranoid.

[desert stratus]

i can understand why

[heavy dawn]

I don't think so. "hey, want headpats?"

[desert stratus]

yeye

three words

say them and im literaly yours

[ruby burrow]

If someone doesn't like it, it should be obvious enough and you go from there. It's hardly a traumatising event.

[heavy dawn]

Not sheepishly asking to do it like it's weird. Just act like it's normal, because it pretty much is normal to give/get headpats on VRC.

[civic plume]

i can hear pigeons making weird noises

[rigid crescent]

I've never asked anyone I've headpat is ok and have only been met with positive feedback in like....2500 or so hours lol

I think it's honestly weirder to ask

[heavy dawn]

Yeah to be honest I haven't ever hated it. If someone did they probably just back away.

[desert stratus]

i guess my experience is diff then lol

[rigid crescent]

yeah, the only time I see anyone like "don't headpat me!" is when they're memeing

[desert stratus]

cuz ive had a handful of people who were like "aaaa" when i pat them

[ruby burrow]

Just begins to feel a bit like humanity has become far too scared of itself these days. Human contact is a natural and timeless part of communication itself.

[heavy dawn]

I mean, like Mic said it's about reading the room too.

[civic plume]

these pigeons are getting loud

[desert stratus]

good point

[civic plume]

i think there is several

[heavy dawn]

Pidgeons make bad pets. 😄

[median basalt]

I generally back away from headpats, it's just a little annoying when I'm in a menu and have to close it because someone tries to headpat me

[heavy dawn]

At least if they aren't in cages.

[rigid crescent]

Oh definitely, read the situation. If you're awkward or have trouble reading social situations then it probably is better to ask

[civic plume]

trying to get comfy here and i cant smh

well im off to unity buh bye

[rigid crescent]

My avatar isn't as short as most so I don't get headpats any more lol

[heavy dawn]

I'm currently converting a bunch of old swf files from my site to MP4... (wish me luck with this rando software).

Kind-of want to play VRC though. Might try anyway. CPU don't hate me.

[covert linden]

I get headpats bc I beg

[desert stratus]

hahah, everyone knows that every cpu hates our absolutely glorious 1-core game

[heavy dawn]

Oh no... it's playing each swf over the VR headset. I'm getting 2000s memes piped into my brain D:

[ruby burrow]

One of my friends has complained about that too Mic. Their avatar is taller than most and so rarely gets any. :v

[desert stratus]

this si why its important to invest in some loli avatars!

[ruby burrow]

They keep saying they need a loli alternative of their avatar to use occasionally.

[desert stratus]

and for new users reading this, as a rule of thumb most avatars are 5'

plan accoddingly

[rigid crescent]

https://puu.sh/CZ88i/e7c994ee52.png like this is my old height on the left vs my recent one RIP

[covert linden]

My avatar is like 4"7

[heavy dawn]

headpats Ash

[covert linden]

YAY

[desert stratus]

headpats everyone in the server

[frail gate]

Im gonna repost i guess uh

would anyone like to hang out with me? probably in a private lobby cause i don't really like hanging out around too many people

[median basalt]

I have smaller people try and give me headpats on occasion

Apparently animal ears or looking "cute" can increase the likelihood lol

[desert stratus]

having a onesie on ur avatar is instant headpats

[glad sigil]

I will never turn down headpats

[heavy dawn]

gives @desert stratus headpats back

Rokk has figured out the headpats science

[desert stratus]

literally as soon as u join a lobby the hands start flying towards ur hand so quickly the air offset by their speed starts fusing with the hand and tears off ur face with an explosive force

its great, so pls use onesies and cat ears and short avatars

[median basalt]

Although I guess I'm still kinda short, I'm the size of a regular TDA model

[heavy dawn]

... th...that sounds terrifying

[desert stratus]

also yayyy headpats >u<

[median basalt]

I have an avatar that meets all those criteria but the face color is very off

Wish I had a better texture for it or used a better head

Most people don't have permission to touch me anyway

[ruby burrow]

A unique issue I have in the game, is being unable to distinguish nose boops and eye pokes before it's too late. >_>;

[glad sigil]

I'm 6'3 IRL so I reaaaally appreciate the smol catgirl avatars

[ruby burrow]

For reasons related to my pfp.

[heavy dawn]

hehe squishy a cute problem

[median basalt]

Same, I'm like 6'5 and it's nice to feel small for a change

[heavy dawn]

Do you have a cyclops character?

[ruby burrow]

I do. https://i.imgur.com/p25YkKC.png

[glad sigil]

👁

[heavy dawn]

aww the squid-cat shirt too

[glad sigil]

That's a lot cuter than I expected @ruby burrow

10/10 would boop

[hazy marlin]

has anyone found out what the hell "heat" means yet

[desert stratus]

heat in what context?

[hazy marlin]

On your world page now, theres a "Heat" rating

[desert stratus]

i havent heard anyone talk about hheat in vrc in a unique way

[hazy marlin]

But noone seems to know what it means or what its out of

[desert stratus]

ohh, iirc i think it was a measure for how much content u could have in a world

for performance sake

[ruby burrow]

My old internet alias since forever, up until joining VRC, has been Squid. So the hoodie was a small reference to that.

[glad sigil]

Heat is based on your world's carbon emissions

[desert stratus]

n0

[hazy marlin]

[heavy dawn]

Ah! I just watched a stream I did where someone heatpatted my character and I couldn't help but make a squeak out loud. >o<

[ruby burrow]

I was assuming that "Heat" is how active the world is.

Since that's a core mechanic of the community labs.

[drifting plaza]

Any new worlds I should check out???

Or just any worlds

[queen mango]

There's Box Avoid Game, Deathrun, Murder, Werewolf/Mafia, Battle Discs, Steel N' Gold, and Capture the Flag.

[covert linden]

the mcdonalds map

[queen mango]

Those are all game worlds

[echo fable]

deathrun will come from counter strike source forever in my heart

[queen mango]

On a side note, there's VRChat Times Square, Lakuza's Luxerion World, Pan Diman's Virtual Week-ality (weekly VR news updates), and Blue-kun's Avatar World

[opaque hawk]

I agree to that

[queen mango]

Same.. I love Deathrun, even if I dunno how to play it, hah.

[rough pulsar]

Fun game to play: Go to VRChat Times Square, see if you can find me, Afro and the other girl.

(spoiler: it's easy. So easy. Oh my god)

[velvet quarry]

[rough pulsar]

HAPPY NOW

[tulip pivot]

[queen mango]

[tulip pivot]

is there any way to spawn a portal so we can get out of there instead of pressing alt+f4
please help us

[rigid crescent]

hardest game, go to times square and find me

[vocal shard]

Impossible game, find me in VRChat

[queen mango]

You'd be hard pressed to find me in a world that isn't highly populated

[placid umbra]

Let there be... green!

[vocal shard]

Green!!!

[queen mango]

Feels a lot easier to look at right now!

[velvet quarry]

The purple will rise again

[queen mango]

That'll come soon. For now, just enjoy the greeneries.

[vocal shard]

NANI?!

[stray quartz]

I liked purple better

[rough pulsar]

On the plus side if you're looking at discord in VR (most of) you'll see us in slightly higher resolution thanks to the pentile subpixel arrangement.

[desert stratus]

green good color

[urban jasper]

I prefer blue but as long as you're happy

[neon flume]

The switch to green means that Jamie is now the head mod right?

[foggy trellis]

I need friends... can anyone assist in my journey to find friends?

[desert stratus]

tomorrow when im ive

[meager solstice]

im diggin the color change

[queen mango]

[desert stratus]

friend me on disord snd we can go on a vrc friend seeking adventure

[queen mango]

Who knows?

[foggy trellis]

Thank you apple

[queen mango]

By the way, aside from Leeroy, we didn't have another loli as a moderator

[vocal shard]

[stray quartz]

Reee

Wait

Who's the other one??

[indigo fern]

loli mod battle royale

go go

[queen mango]

Jamie.. whenever he switches to his loli avatar

[vocal shard]

I'm not full time. So i don't really count

[stray quartz]

I've been a fulltime loli since October 7th 2017

[indigo fern]

then leeroy wins

get dunked on

[stray quartz]

[vocal shard]

XD

You can't be a full time kid tho

[queen mango]

Traps tho..

[vocal shard]

That's like saying I'm a full time asshole

Ohh wait I am, I shouldn't be talking

[indigo fern]

did someone say traps? 👀

[vocal shard]

Carry on

[stray quartz]

Heck me and 2 other buddies made the first loli group in VRC

And were still going strong today

[vocal shard]

I remember you guys had a flag at TWitchCon

[indigo fern]

👁 👁
👃
👄

[vocal shard]

I remember being right next to the peeps when they got that group photo with the flag taken

I stepped out since I was barely active in the community at the time

And it would have been awkward

still tho, neat

[stray quartz]

Yea its hanging in my room

Should have come say hi man

[vocal shard]

I'm a 17 year old kid

The yikes would have been kinda insane

besides, I knew noone there

In fact, first time even hearing about Kinetic was thanks to TwitchCon

Met them IRL before I even knew who they were online

[stray quartz]

@vocal shard wouldnt have been a yikes your only a year younger or same age as Rad

Also I'll be going this year again if u are going

[vocal shard]

yea, but I'm kinda outta the vrc community

i'll be going, but let's meetup

[stray quartz]

Yea for sure...I'll have the flag again this year and majority of the lolisquad is coming this year

[vocal shard]

screw you kuro, i'm going baby

Neat o, neat o, i'll contact you closer to TC's date then

[indigo fern]

wear the flag on your back like a cape

wear only the flag 👀

[stray quartz]

@vocal shard for sure man

[vocal shard]

hell yea brother

mind if i pass you a request on discord?

[stray quartz]

Go for it

[vocal shard]

thanks for sending

[rotund storm]

Ayoooo

[winged quartz]

hi

[queen mango]

[vocal shard]

Yo, Game doesnt launch for someone else too? When I open it its just stuck on 0 procent

[queen mango]

Have you made sure your connection isn't being slowed down by other people using YouTube or background downloads?

[rigid crescent]

the heck is up with logging on to friend requests from randos 🤔

why would someone go through the trouble of searching me to add lol

[winged igloo]

Maybe people recognise you? 😉

[rigid crescent]

LOL actually now that i look at who it is here, definitely recognized for something

[vocal shard]

I searched you to add..

[winged igloo]

[rigid crescent]

But you're someone I've had positive interaction with 💖

[vocal shard]

Awwe

Lol

[winged igloo]

Ok, now this is wholesome

[vocal shard]

ok

now this is epic

That was fun. I got to see a friend I haven't see in a long time and we watched AMVs together in VRChat. He scolded me for not getting an Oculus yet. 🙃

Awesome. It's really cool the different ways we can hang out in vrchat

[rigid crescent]

lol that time i was testing if my video player worked and i put your video in

[vocal shard]

Yeah, lol. I was facing the other way going through my menu, and then heard my intro start. Lol

[silk vale]

does the link for guntersuniverse bring anyone else to a weird Russian site?

[winged igloo]

What link and where did you find it?

[silk vale]

the one in events http://guntersuniverse.com/

[rigid crescent]

it sure does, i checked in the channel too

The russians got him ;_;

[winged igloo]

Weird, I'll notify the guys about this

[silk vale]

nice.

[rigid crescent]

or he's been in cahoots the entire time 🤔

[winged igloo]

Cool, Gunter is aware of it now, so hopefully it will be fixed soon! 😎 👌

[vocal shard]

Goddamn loli avatars.

[queen mango]

They've had too many undergarment pics..

[lapis yoke]

i wonder when they decide to fix the social list being so utterly slow to update.

[white lichen]

i literally just saw 2 people doing "it" 1 anime girl and another anime girl, and lag crashed me, this might be the best crash out of 4821 crashes i had so far this week

[unborn rune]

i wish vrchat available on oculsu go and quest later down the line, no matter how poor the graphic will be. i really love vrchat

palying vrchat on pimax5x is amazing

[glass yacht]

no idea where else to put this... Does anyone else have an rtx 2080 ti and get the most garbage tier performance in vrchat? ( in vr )

[unborn rune]

i use 970 with pimax5k, all good as long as using deafult setting and not go over the top. but some room indeed stutter

[meager solstice]

i mean considering vrchat mainly uses ur cpu..... @glass yacht the 2080 wont give u much better performance

[topaz notch]

207X+ drivers are still in their infancy. :D

[glass yacht]

ok so... its the cpu? its a 32 core gen 2 threadripper

[cold talon]

Idk how optimized vrc is for multiple cores

[raven silo]

it base on the programmer to make better performance for vrchat

need somthing better then dyamic bones for vrchat

[topaz notch]

Uses like 4 cores at the maximum, and pins one core from memory.

So need higher overclocks. Which a threadripper doesn't really do well.

[heavy bridge]

Does anyone have any clue what "flame" is?

Not the one that's against the rules, anywhere.

[queen mango]

Flame as in the popularity symbol of a map?

[heavy bridge]

Yeah.

[queen mango]

Ah.. It determines how popular or "hot" a world is in terms of average visitors per day

At least I believe so..

[heavy bridge]

Okay... Doesn't add up since today's count was literally 0.

I kinda watched and refreshed... Unless I've been missing those join-and-(promptly)-leave-ers.

[queen mango]

Maybe someone else can explain this better than me. I haven't gotten into the latest update of VRChat yet.

[heavy bridge]

Well, we're as cluesless as each other.

[queen mango]

[sour sierra]

Bleh...

[craggy tapir]

hey guys Reaper_wolfy is streaming right now he needs 1 more follower for 50 please help him out

[rigid crescent]

maybe they'll release some info that lets us know, it'll probably be a documentation thing if it happens

[heavy bridge]

I wonder who's doing the documentation...?

[lament heart]

is it just me or is Fullbody broken?

[vocal shard]

What's wrong with it?

[lament heart]

The trackers still work, but the camera is being put in the wrong place, and the Ik seems to take over the chest or spine.

it happened after the update

[vocal shard]

mhh weird

[lethal summit]

why the notification from announcements wont go off? i checked all the messages

also there is no other notify to "mark as read" how it usualy is...

[vocal shard]

try to go back and forth between announcements and a random channel

[crystal hearth]

hello

[vocal shard]

Hi

[crystal hearth]

can i ask questions about Mixamo here?

do you know if they have a discord or telegram channel?

[vocal shard]

I think they have a channel related to that but im not sure ¨

[abstract leaf]

hi

[crystal hearth]

so where can i find out?

[abstract leaf]

меня узнали что россия

😀

what

l ll move

[rigid crescent]

https://puu.sh/CZiCs/b0254a15f9.png

breeeh

logged on jsut fine right now, so maybe it fixed

[civic plume]

should be

[vocal shard]

yo there is some dude telling his friends to all report me because he thinks i use some kind of client to teleport props too him even tho i just joined the world lol

now i got arnd 20 reports he says 😂

[inner cape]

don't believe them and move on

[vocal shard]

well im never gonna get too trusted user

😂

[inner cape]

I doubt you actually got that many reports

plus why do you care about ranks?

[vocal shard]

i dont know im trying to get to trusted user for months now

bcs it looks cool XD

[tribal vortex]

good motive

[inner cape]

except it isn't

[rigid crescent]

the reports wont matter since at bset they'll investigate and, assuming youre tellnig the truth, nothing will happen lol

people seem to think reports = ban, they still double check stuff

[civic plume]

trusted user looks good on you when you've made multiple worlds and avatars. other than that its useless, maybe a rank for people who bust their balls to make content for the community idk

[cold ibex]

basically ^

[civic plume]

they didnt fix the mouse being kidnapped btw, if im in discord whilst vrc is loading it steals my mouse still. idk if thats the game or windows or something else, either way if its out of the devs control idc if it is someone ping me and tell me to make another canny or whatever coz its super annoying u kno

[stray quartz]

it always does that and im pretty sure its a mix of the game as well as windows usually for me once im in a world i just open my menu select avatar or friends list then i can move my mouse over to my second monitor without my mouse accidently moving me arounf in VRC

[civic plume]

idk. they should properly address it and see if they can reduce or fix the issue

[smoky umbra]

They said it was a lot less not that it was fine if I recall right

[stray quartz]

its not really that big of a problem atm

[civic plume]

i dont feel a change at all except for when im in vr i dont have to constantly press the windows key to move mouse in vr

[stray quartz]

based off others things they could be working on or are currently working on this i would thing would be near the bottom of the to do list

[smoky umbra]

The new sound stuff they are working on
Gonna be hype if they can get it right

[civic plume]

i think they should start sorting their servers out before adding anything else big like community labs.. just my opinion

yeah same. im quite excited for that

[smoky umbra]

Also server devs =/= game Dev

[queen mango]

Will it bring the old Doppler sounds back, though?

[civic plume]

im always in for the realism side of gaming and not so much performance but when it comes to servers it makes me dry

[queen mango]

I loved that back before Unity 2017.4

[smoky umbra]

@queen mango Doppler?

[civic plume]

doppler? am i too young to get that

jk but what is that aha

[queen mango]

Doppler effect.. sounds get distorted the nearer or farther you go to or away from an audio source

[civic plume]

ohh

[queen mango]

Nearer = higher frequency
Farther = lower frequency

[civic plume]

idk what use of that is, made enough worlds and with enough sounds to not know what to use it for

[smoky umbra]

Ow yes, but you can also actually hear where people are. Sounds can be properly mixed now with 2017

[rigid crescent]

bring back cross-character touching 👌

[civic plume]

lol wot

[rigid crescent]

For a time, you could touch other people's dynamic bones that were set up for touching if you set up your avatar to be able to

[smoky umbra]

Only locally though

[civic plume]

oh i remember that mic, didn't know that got washed away

[rigid crescent]

Wasn't it the person touching and the person being touched could see it? 🤔

yeah that's the only reason it isn't on literally every avatar any more lol

[civic plume]

i remember you could go desktop but with a hmd on and use keybaord and mouse to move around whilst controllers were charging.. now it doesnt only if the first menu is open you can move with mouse

[smoky umbra]

So far I have seen it was only the person touching

[rigid crescent]

oh i guess it was just the new way he was working on that others can see https://twitter.com/TheKareeda/status/1102730202889768960

;-; i just wish they'd bring it back, it was neat but some bug messed it up supposedly?

So far the one way it's visible to everyone (and synced perfectly) is if you're using an object to touch, but hopefully it's getting there

[median basalt]

They broke either hinge joints or character joints

You can also use seats to accomplish the same thing by the way

But it requires careful setups on both ends

[analog schooner]

Not sure who makes the Youtube plugin on VRchat worlds, but you know what would be a good feature?

The ability to block or warn you when a video marked as 18+ has been put into the playlist.

[smoky umbra]

It uses yt there public and only way to do it api
So unless YT adds it themselves for off website video showing. They can't do it.

[velvet quarry]

I believe the Youtube functionality is handled by VRChat itself, so I'd recommend that if you want to suggest features relating to it, that you should make a post about it on the canny, which is where they look for feedback: https://vrchat.canny.io/

[analog schooner]

Ah thanks.

[smoky umbra]

They do fully use it themselves? Isn't that against YouTube's TOS?

[analog schooner]

Looks like some people have suggested it anyway

[velvet quarry]

Suppose that means that the canny is working atleast, helps get suggestions like that in one place and the interest in them properly shown, always a good idea to upvote features and bugs you bump into even if they're already posted.

[analog schooner]

Good idea

[keen field]

I’m thinking of getting a vr set for my birthday tomorrow and I’m either gonna get the oculus go or windows mixed reality, ik the windows mixed reality works in vrchat but does the oculus go also work in vrchat ? Really curious if it does bc if so I’ll just get the oculus go

[smoky umbra]

Oculus go won't work

[rough pulsar]

go for WMR, the Go is a mobile headset.

[smoky umbra]

Or well not good at al

[vocal shard]

aight thanks for telling me

[queen mango]

Oculus Go would not work with VRChat, or any other PC VR titles

[median basalt]

@cold saddle no, not really

Not many offensive worlds yet

[rough pulsar]

Do you have a PC capable of VR too? @vocal shard

[vocal shard]

Yes I do and I just realised that the oculus go is a mobile vr set lmao

[stone current]

rift is $350

the dev kit (dk2) prob cheaper but not as good quality afaik

[rough pulsar]

@cold saddle Gonna have to go check that out sometime. Finding a well made beautiful world is getting harder and harder, but on the other side it makes it so much sweeter when you do find one.

I can recommend Mountain Forest for the same reasons. Beautiful, good perf considering its size and no mirror.

[vocal shard]

might try go for the lenovo set those that also work In vrchat

Huhuh

Sorry for going on and on about just trying to get the right one

[rough pulsar]

Any WMR headset will work with VRChat since they have to run it through steamVR anyway

Oh wow, nice

[vocal shard]

ok

yeah the Lenovo is mixed reality for windows 10 so I’m guessing it will work then

[heavy dawn]

@cold saddle That's some nice detail.

Is that a VRC world?

I need to get gud.

I want to keep my overall world size tiny but have decent detail. Working now on optimizing my UV mapping, etc.

One of the suggestions on the world submission page is to have mirrors start as off.

I didn't do that with mine but it's pretty high performing anyway I think...

[rough pulsar]

Yeah, don't have an enabled mirror at and/or near the spawn.

Nobody likes a rough landing that continues to be bumpy

[heavy dawn]

Does the mirror being near the spawn cause performance issues?

I mean, I violated both of those. haha vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_2105eb08-75f6-41c9-90b8-1d04040552b0

[rough pulsar]

Well it makes it so you have a shit framerate the instant you drop in

[smoky umbra]

Well you don't just load in the spawn once but twice thanks to the mirror

[heavy dawn]

Oh neat. Good to know. 😃

[queen mango]

Blue-kun's home drops you right in front of a mirror, though

Wouldn't be too bad when in private

[heavy dawn]

My whole home world is < 50MB. It used to be only 18MB but I added some textures that are probably too big.

[rough pulsar]

Yeah, that's the worst thing about mirrors. Put one in and nobody goes any further than it.

[queen mango]

MirrorChat

[smoky umbra]

Should make it so you can only enable a mirror if you have been in the room for 10 minutes

[rough pulsar]

Even better, make it so the mirror auto-disables after 2 minutes and is at least 1.3 meters above ground level.

[smoky umbra]

Talk for 10 minutes and then you can just stare at yourself as a reward

[rough pulsar]

And the enable button is on the far side of the room

[smoky umbra]

There are shaders that can block mirrors fully

And only mirrors

[gaunt scaffold]

Yes and then lure them.off the map

[smoky umbra]

Also this slowmode is slightly annoying man..

There are a fair bit out there
They just aren't popular for long. No one wants to chill and talk in a really big world where it's hard to find someone

[stone current]

unless u make like some grabpass magic prob not

[heavy dawn]

I mean, I had a pretty fun/pure experience on someone's world that was a Warcraft 3 level with 2 or 3 Warcraft 3 avatars but many other ones and a mirror and we just had fun trying them all out and talking about the features.

[smoky umbra]

Well people are anti social in this game.
And plenty of people don't enjoy using there voice

[stone current]

use hand

[heavy dawn]

^that too. My voice is a huge downer for me but I just go with it.

[stone current]

my floof is upper

pupper

[rough pulsar]

It's almost like if you try to put yourself in a slightly challenging situation you can steadily get over your anxieties over time.

[heavy dawn]

OMG... that avatar world, I just kept gasping as I found out new tricks to them. It was a cute place.

[stone current]

?

[heavy dawn]

@rough pulsar Something like that is called exposure therapy and its a real strategy for traumatic experiences too. But forcing others into those experiences does the opposite. It has to be in a bit of a controlled environment, so the person feels like they are gaining more control rather than losing it.

(off topic but I think it's interesting)

[smoky umbra]

@rough pulsar tell that to the anti social people.
It also does not help that in public world there are plenty of cunts who block out people from there conversations and even bully users for there voices.

[queen mango]

Or plain hating humanity

[lethal summit]

@vocal shard thanks...but it was a glitch...it dissappeared after a while...

[stone current]

that cald not a good person

[rough pulsar]

If anything VR is the perfect environment for exposure therapy (or related behaviours) because if you get to the point where you have to stop you can bail out instantly and easily.

[stone current]

not liek entire comunity is liek dat

[heavy dawn]

Elire that's a natural feeling sometimes. Humans are complicated and messy. Hard to deal with.

[rough pulsar]

But yeah I get what you mean @heavy dawn

[heavy dawn]

It's also a symptom of really advanced loneliness.

[stone current]

well yea but giving up easier

a lto of streamer get themself band

[heavy dawn]

@rough pulsar I think you're right in some ways.

[stone current]

i only been on liek 3-4 streams

for small streamer only

[heavy dawn]

Literally his fans, as in his case fan noise over the open mic

[stone current]

[heavy dawn]

🤣

[smoky umbra]

Most annoying part of streamers is there ego* once they are growing
And there die hard community white knighting them.
I don't mind being around a streamer unless his fanbase is there.

[stone current]

gona lok at banjo tooie walkthru >3>

[heavy dawn]

You can do it Wunder!

[stone current]

idk wat 2 do no moar

[smoky umbra]

is also dope

[stone current]

gaem do me a confoos

[smoky umbra]

And Tosha is trap-man?

[stone current]

define "great trap"

[urban jasper]

I've been stuck on a puzzle in a particular world, and I have the feeling if I tell someone where I'm stuck I'm going to get laughed at because the solution is obvious and I've just overlooked it

[stone current]

oof

[ember arch]

Alright so theres a hacker in a murder lobby.

[stone current]

cool

[ember arch]

I got blue screened today.

[urban jasper]

ugh.

[stone current]

o

[smoky umbra]

Report him #moderation-reports

[ember arch]

May I say the name?

[stone current]

#moderation-reports

[ember arch]

Ah.

[stone current]

doesnt matter we don't hav any proof nor rlly care

so not like we also gona report em

[ember arch]

No perms

[stone current]

....

[smoky umbra]

Read the channel

[stone current]

obv u don't hav perm did u even read the posts

[heavy dawn]

@ember arch Whoever you chatted with last will be in your logs. I think there's info on how to get that in #moderation-reports

[stone current]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ye do dat stuf wof

[quartz osprey]

No idea where to ask this but is there a way to add a NPC to an avatar that follows you by foot (so not the floating thing with joint bones)

[stone current]

animations and floating bone prob closest u can get

unless u like use a rope and a rigidbody

[quartz osprey]

a follow script is allowed in worlds right... having the npc follow the player (only locally)

[median basalt]

Yeah, standard assets can be used

You can use the character controller scripts etc

[quartz osprey]

was thinking of having Rex from xenoblade Chronicles 2 as an avatar , using a emote toggle spawn in Pyra that follows me like another character (so walking along)

found a video about setting up NPC follow but that is using C#

[median basalt]

Oh, on an avatar

Yeah you can't do that very easily if at all

I remember doing it in the days of playmaker though lol

[quartz osprey]

lol as a world avatar/object i first need to make a world

last time i uploaded one as a tryout the textures where flashing and some shaders were not working in-game

and that was just a MMD world

as in ... supposed to be used in MMD

[knotty stag]

if anyone want to meet up, my VRchat name is CammyMoon

[heavy dawn]

It would be cool if you could bake a nav mesh and use navmeshagent in VRC worlds. Is that possible?

[median basalt]

Yes

[heavy dawn]

Sweet! So you could have an NPC come up to you and give info or whatever.
Or make a zombie map where zombies follow the characters around.

[median basalt]

Yeah

[heavy dawn]

Or like, have a map where you're fighting off waves of monsters in a tower. 😄

[regal furnace]

arent following enemies already used in some worlds?

[jagged moth]

it already exists, yes

[heavy dawn]

I'm a bit of a noob. I haven't seen many worlds with use of features other than simple click buttons.

I guess everyone assumes if it's a Unity feature that isn't replicated in the official VRC SDK then it probably won't work.

[quartz osprey]

hmmm wonder if you use the spawnable worldobject prefab and have it trigger the navmesh thing

[heavy dawn]

The navmeshagent is just a component you can add to any Unity object. It's pretty nice! There's a tutorial for using it on the Unity3D site where you build a game with zombie toys all coming to attack you.

So you would just add navmeshagent to your prefab and set your world up to have a baked nav mesh so the prefab knows where it can / can't walk.

(at least I assume that's how it works in VRC. It might require some tricks to work.)

[quartz osprey]

yea .. i know one person that was making a zombie map spend months on the A.I system alone

[heavy dawn]

Whoa... well yeah you might need to code extra if you want them to avoid certain things/be smarter.

Oh yeah you obviously have to have a target for the NMA or it won't walk anywhere. 😃

[tacit plank]

Coding something is easy. Using shitty Unity components is a pain

With code you'd have defined some bounds. Then just told it to move to a random point by first rotating towards it, and then moving towards it while playing the walking animation

[small wing]

My vrchat isn't updating in oculus

tried restarting the service and even reinstalling the game entirely.

I'm stuck on 2019.1.2

[heavy dawn]

"shitty components" (the actual Unity SDK) ❓

[small wing]

Wowwwwwwwww

i just got the notification that its updating.

after what, like 5 hours?

I hate oculus sometimes...

[tacit plank]

The unity SDK as well as Unity itself

You're meant to use code to interact with them, which is why Googling "how to (anything)" will lead you to scripts most of the time

I tried that stupid VRChat soundbank thing, and it just played the first song in it at varying speeds. then I used the Discord search feature and found no evidence that anyone else could get it to work. I will try the Youtube player again I guess, it has gotten some updates since last time I tried it. A shame every sound is loaded on world join. Player-made video prefabs don't seem to have this limitation

[heavy dawn]

Strange. Play on awake is set?

[tacit plank]

It's the default behaviour I believe. Every dance-music map almost crashes you on join as your computer starts a youtube_dl.exe for every Youtube URL contained in the world.
As for the sound bank thing, I don't recall. I deleted it in frustration

By default, it's even set to activate for "every other player than yourself" or something weird. I changed that and bricked it completely

A VRChat component which can deal with numbers in various ways (track them, maybe do simple math with them, compare them, etc) would make a lot of things easier, but we'll probably need Udon to make advanced worlds possible

[heavy dawn]

I mean, you're talking about VRC components which might have more problems than basic Unity3D functionality.

[tacit plank]

Not to speak ill of the VRChat devs of course. I just feel limited with these components. I can't make a clock, can't track player locations, can't even replicate the functionality of IF statements. Even if I used unity cubes to represent bits and moved them around, they would likely get out of sync

Well, I will hop on VRChat now. Laters

[lethal summit]

do i really need to update the SDK to upload new updates for my avatars?

or il just keep the same?

[velvet quarry]

it's generally a good idea to atleast, but not required per say, most of the time.

[lethal summit]

every time when i did updated something that has to do with unity....at the end the answer was not to make any update.

[smoky umbra]

Unity? Don't update that.
Sdo? Update it.

[velvet quarry]

Your Unity version needs to be version 2017.4.15f1 at the moment, and should currently not be updated unless stated otherwise for VRChat compatibility.

[still lark]

@tacit plank it's annoying because they can't add any components that'll get overridden by Udon because then they'd have to support this garbage legacy component.

[lethal summit]

so i need to update the SDK for each time when vrchat gets an update or almost all the time...

[smoky umbra]

They will say when you need to update it. It isn't every update but close to all.

[lethal summit]

so...il update the sdk or not?

[smoky umbra]

Right now yes

[polar jasper]

You should always update the SDK when a new one is released.

[small wing]

You don't need to. But it is reccomended.

For instance, my old unity project has an excessive amount of stuff in it and importing a new sdk would take forever. So i just keep it on the old one.

once a more crucial update is out, then i update it.

[heavy dawn]

I find it kind-of baffling why Unity3D just DIES once you load the VRC SDK.

Like scrolling becomes an issue, etc. On 4Ghz?!

[neon flume]

Yeah I don't update my SDK every time either but I also understand that if something goes wrong or breaks that's my fault for not updating.

[polar jasper]

@heavy dawn If you look at the code for the sdk, you will understand why something like scrolling is a issue.

[heavy dawn]

I started even looking into the directories and there's a lot there. Yeah probably a lot going on in the SDK too.

I bet a lot of it could be threaded workloads.

... but isn't for sake of simplicity.

[strange wagon]

Uhh. Someone told me there was a way to prevent hair going into your forehead by locking a certain axis. i forgot how to do that. does someone know

never used that before but i wanna try

Oh i figured it out. You gotta freeze the Z axis.

[heavy dawn]

Depends on the rotation of the bone but yeah.

[glossy wharf]

@heavy dawn the biggest problem is just having the pipeline manager with the blueprint expanded

[strange wagon]

yea a certain frozen axis will make the hair look weird

[glossy wharf]

That makes unity lag like hell

[heavy dawn]

I don't know if I have ever done that. I have barely scratched the surface of the SDK. Oh you mean the tiny little component with an avatar ID?

[glossy wharf]

Yes

[heavy dawn]

Jeeze if I shrink that would it make it responsive? !!!!??!?!?! whoa....

[glossy wharf]

Its like a lagswitch

[heavy dawn]

So much of this program is just :foreheadsmack:

[glossy wharf]

Its not the program

Its the sdk just being shit

[heavy dawn]

🤣

Yeah that's what I meant. I know Unity doesn't usually do that on its own.

[strange wagon]

@heavy dawn hmmm. I got ear bones on a head. But if i put a dynamic bone on each of them they don't move

[glossy wharf]

Make a root bone

Put it on the root bone.

[strange wagon]

if i take the head and exclude everything else they move as if they are not attached

[glossy wharf]

Make a root bone

[strange wagon]

[glossy wharf]

And also weight paint the tips of the ears to the head bone so they dont detach

Uh base i mean, not tips*

The lowest parts

[heavy dawn]

^^^ the knowledge

[strange wagon]

i hope i don't have to do everything from the start in unity after i did that in blender

[glossy wharf]

@strange wagon not if you overwrite the fbx

[heavy dawn]

Look at you - still helping people 😉

[glossy wharf]

Disable your dynmic bone components before you overwrite

[strange wagon]

so root bone. i assume i just create bones at the base of the ear and that's it?

[glossy wharf]

Or it can cause, issues

Do you have cats

[strange wagon]

yee

[glossy wharf]

Cats has a root bone tool

[strange wagon]

👀

[glossy wharf]

I think its called parent bones

Or something

[strange wagon]

ooh

https://i.gyazo.com/b3f6e3d432e3b5f523df66d31de1b826.png

[glossy wharf]

Yea

[vocal shard]

I have to block unity from accessing the internet and then it doesn't lag

[glossy wharf]

Thats cause the pipeline manager constantly makes requests

[heavy dawn]

EarL EarL Earl... he got TRUCKS (an ad from a city I used to live in)

[strange wagon]

only the left ear is in there though

[glossy wharf]

@strange wagon it shows 2 bones

[vocal shard]

I disables the pipeline manager and it still lags so i just block the entire thing until i need to upload

[strange wagon]

why does it say EarL only

[glossy wharf]

Because it takes bones that are named --L and --R

[heavy dawn]

Wild... I guess it's probably blocking on network transfer. That's like... dotnet 101. Always do network or non ui tasks in a thread.

[glossy wharf]

And then just shows one of the groups

[strange wagon]

oh yea both are in there now

[glossy wharf]

c:

Now go in unity, disable the dynbone scripts, overwrite the fbx

Reenable dynbone and change root bone to the new ear root

[gentle fossil]

i just open my vr today and wanted to play vrchat and I go to oculus and start it up like I always have since oculus came out with it and no matter what I crash at the vrc loading screen... anyone that can help??

[strange wagon]

hey nice

[vocal shard]

Open vrc on steam

[strange wagon]

i didn't even have to weight paint

cats kinda did it

they're attached now

[gentle fossil]

no steam vr is strait up trash

that even worse...

[lost agate]

same here

[covert linden]

Some people have tons of problems with steam vr some with the oculus client

@gentle fossil if you use the oculus client try steam vr, if you use steam vr try the oculus client. Also what are the specs of your system?

Like your cpu ram and gpu

[gentle fossil]

i just tryed steam vr, but as shit as steam vr is it lags and it keeps coming with freaking pop ups

[lost agate]

kind odd, when i use my clear cache script it runs and crashes instantly, restarting it gets stuck in a loading screen or crash (vrc loading screen rotating logo), the only way to get out of that loading loop is by clearing and it repeats.

[covert linden]

But it works with steam vr?

[gentle fossil]

yer

[covert linden]

What are your specs

@lost agate clear your cache when vrc isnt running then

[gentle fossil]

work and work... it's shit like always but it runs on steam vr yes..

okay

[covert linden]

I want to know your specs

[lost agate]

oh my thanks for saying that, im actually not intellegent

[covert linden]

Very possible that if its not running with the oculus client qnd poorly with steam vr your system cant handle it

[gentle fossil]

i run an i5, 16gb ram, 1tb hdd 256ssd and 1060 max Q

why?

[covert linden]

@lost agate Its np, it should work when you do it ingame but if not itll be better out of game anyway

Because your system may not be able to run vr @gentle fossil

[heavy dawn]

That's probably a good enough system. 🤷

[lost agate]

the script i wrote shuts down VRC before it runs, i was being sarcastic

[dark narwhal]

That system is good nuff

[covert linden]

I wass thinking that too but.. the "max q?"

[heavy dawn]

i5 might be the worst part if it's low clock speed.

[gentle fossil]

stop saying stuff you do t know about Ash

[heavy dawn]

Seeing as VRC seems to pin just one thread.

[covert linden]

Isnt the max Q suppos to bee liie mega shit

Wym stuff I dunno I know that some systems cant handle vr

Never said yours couldnt just that itd be possible silly

[gentle fossil]

i have bin running vrchat on oculus since it came to oculus and before that on steam, for over 1.5 years

[lost agate]

my specs are:
I7 6700K @ 4.6Ghrz
GTX 970 HOF
42GB DDR4 @ 3.1Grz
Samsung 970 SSD

[gentle fossil]

i run vrchat with 90 frames like almost 24/7 but it just won't start up that's the problem dude...

[covert linden]

This is a laptop isnt it?

[heavy dawn]

Sometimes I think being stuck with DDR3 RAM might be why I get performance issues despite having a 4Ghz clock speed.

[dark narwhal]

Why is you ssd better than your gpu

[gentle fossil]

yes

[covert linden]

I run vrchat on 90ftames with a 1050, you have to realize vr is basically playing the game twice

[heavy dawn]

@dark narwhal SSDs have gone on sale for ultra cheap a lot in the past few years.

[lost agate]

its not, you just dont know Galax HOF lmao

[heavy dawn]

In fact, SATA SSDs are ultra cheap right now.

[covert linden]

The 1060 Max Q is 15% less than the 1060 @heavy dawn

Also its a laptop Lili

[heavy dawn]

Ah... yeah could be thermal throttling issues too.

[dark narwhal]

Not even gonna ask about 42 ram

[gentle fossil]

the 1060 max Q is pretty good it's the 3 Gb model and I run all vr games... it just won't start op today after the update for vrchat yesterday..

[covert linden]

Yes it is Tobias. Its the same as the game running twice and if you dont believe me you can ask either Sai or Kairos, the two people who know tons about pcs and told me this

[lost agate]

i make maps and love lighting that tends to be idiotic with how much ram it uses during baking

[covert linden]

I want 99gb ram

The fact this laptop can run vr in its own is outstanding, means its one od the few thats not dumb with its hdmi placement

[dark narwhal]

Mhhh light the killer of frames and spinner of fans

[gentle fossil]

@covert linden fucking listen to me for fuck sake!!!!! I don't have lag problems!!!!!!! it just dont want to start VRCHAT!!!!!! AND ONLY TODAY!!!!!! I PLAYED IT YERSTERDAY ALL DAY!!!!!!!!

[covert linden]

Its ok just play vr in a pitch dark map

[lost agate]

anyhow this is not related to crashing on startup, this is related to software as it wouldn't run if i cleared cache

[covert linden]

You needa chill lol you said literally 5 minutes ago steam vr lags you

[gentle fossil]

thanks quinix

yes steam vr does.... that's becourse it's shit

[covert linden]

@lost agate vrchat wont run when you cleared your cache?

[gentle fossil]

it not like lag lag

[heavy dawn]

Hmm, Steam VR runs pretty fast for me.

[lost agate]

It crashes uppon entry to the laoding screen aka spinning vrc icon

[covert linden]

Steam vr runs fast for all my friends

[dark narwhal]

Define fast

[lost agate]

when i then start again it gets stuck in that screen instead

[covert linden]

@dark narwhal the sexy 11fps

[lost agate]

thus its a software issue not a hardware one

[gentle fossil]

i just hate that when someone does something in vrchat and your frames drop like 5 ore so, steam vr goes in loading screen and it kiss me off oculus doesn't do that....

[dark narwhal]

Yea real fast u right

[heavy dawn]

But yeah the crashing issue isn't likely to be performance related unless the Oculus would just not start running if you can't push enough frames. Is that the case?

[covert linden]

@lost agate you mightve deleted more than just the cache and it corrupted files maybe?

Because deleting the cache shouldnt break the game

[gentle fossil]

thanks See @covert linden.... @lost agate he gets it

[lost agate]

@gentle fossil go into your steam VR settings in desktop and set scaling to a lower percentage

[heavy dawn]

Tobias Q yeah I get that if my frames go too low but that hasn't happened for a while. Not unless someone uses a crash script.

The fun of Vive

[covert linden]

@gentle fossil theyre talking about their own problems bro

[lost agate]

Oculus has this feature set to automatic, steam just fails to understand this is usefull

[gentle fossil]

thanks @lost agate finally someone that can help...

[covert linden]

Yours should have nothig to do with cache

[dark narwhal]

I put shader files in my cache folder so im always looking good

[lost agate]

I put water in my computer so it cools better

[covert linden]

Ohh I just put straight up ice

It rests well on top of the gpu

[heavy dawn]

So did Tobias Q clear cache? Yeah that would have been my first thought.

[lost agate]

adn then i use oil and ignite it so it runs so fast its on fire

[gentle fossil]

wait @lost agate it's not steam vr I have problems with... it's oculus that won't start vrchat

[covert linden]

I dont think she did

[lost agate]

i know, but that way Steam gets more rames

[covert linden]

Thats truee

[dark narwhal]

I like my pc running smooth so i use spray butter on the gpu

[covert linden]

Oooh so thats the secret?

[gentle fossil]

true 🤔

[lost agate]

clearly there is a issue thats not up to us to resolve atm, all you can do is report the issue and wait for a fix

[covert linden]

See im on a laptop, so I justpour baby oil into the ports

[lost agate]

i use thermal paste underneeth my CPU in the socket so it connects better to the motherboard

[covert linden]

I thermal pasted two 1050s together so id have a 3000

Skipped right past the 2080

[lost agate]

i hot glued an intel to a threadripper and its still worthless

[covert linden]

Darn thats ass

See I hhad an intel celeron and I read they coudnt run vr so I hotglued one od those new vr cords with the usbc to it

I got 500fps after thhat i highly reccomend it

[heavy dawn]

"pour baby oil on" You know... you joke but that actually might help. Just fill the whole damn laptop with mineral oil and it'd have no thermal problems. It'd be all goopy though and any labels inside would lift off.

It would also weigh a metric shit ton

[covert linden]

Woudnt it also break everyrhing insid

[heavy dawn]

No.

Mineral oil is non conductive and people use it to build PCs that don't need other cooling.

[covert linden]

Id do it and test it if I had a laptop id risk losig

[heavy dawn]

YOu jsut shove a motherboard in a fish tank full of mineral oil and call it a day. It's SO MESSY though.

It's cool looking. The oil is thick so fans run slower and such.

[covert linden]

That sounds awesome

[heavy dawn]

The oil tends to break down some plastics and stuff so it's not totally harmless.

Over a long period of time you might have some stuff just fall apart if it's made of the wrong stuff.

I'd have to look it up, I don't know what it's incompatible with.

[covert linden]

LOL

[dark narwhal]

I use it in my microwave

[heavy dawn]

I always thought it would be a fun thing to try but you need: fish tank, enough mineral oil to suspend hardware, hardware you don't really care about, tolerance for having oil EVERYWHERE if you have to take something out.

[covert linden]

Youd look hilariou

[dark narwhal]

Imagine having touch screen

[heavy dawn]

touches your screen

Actually I hate that a lot. At work if someone comes and smudges my monitor trying to show me something like... HANDS OFF MAN!

You wanna keep that finger? 🤣

[covert linden]

Ew people used to poke my laptop screen and was like "oh lame its not touchscreen"

Like no fucking duh

[heavy dawn]

Touch screens tend to have that layer that reduces the appearance of fingerprint oil.

[covert linden]

Ive never wanted a touchscreen nor owned one

[heavy dawn]

I have one of those Windows 10 atom tablets that's really underpowered. I wanted to draw on it but with 2GB of RAM and a 1.4Ghz quad core it tends to be useless even at that.

[smoky umbra]

They are honestly really nice for specific cases.

[covert linden]

ew get that ramoutta here

[heavy dawn]

2GB works... Ok kind of but not smooth enough for something interactive like painting.

[smoky umbra]

I'm amazed it can run stock windows 10...

[heavy dawn]

It's designed for it.

Win10 the kernel and GUI don't need all of 2GB.

[smoky umbra]

Well. Depending how good you are with tech you can load a lite version of Windows into it. Or just disable specific things on the normal windows 10 version to make it atleast worthy of a Google/YouTube machine.

[heavy dawn]

If you have more RAM Windows since Vista have always used extra RAM for caching.

[median basalt]

It already started lol, people are using community labs to upload laggy avatars

And the report system is probably still not functional

[heavy dawn]

Rokk was it you who called it? Somebody called it. Everyone was thinking it.

[lusty grove]

Don’t forget to thermal paste your ram and usb slots to keep them cool 😎😂

[heavy dawn]

What do you mean arctic silver is conducitve? It's only made of metal and ceramic! 🙃

Hi

[queen mango]

Hello there

[hollow umbra]

can anyone join?

[whole flare]

so when i login all i see is 0.00% and then nothing.. it's not loading me into any world at all D:

[dark narwhal]

could it be that your pc is out of space and u need to clear cache @whole flare

[whole flare]

it's not that it can't download it. it's that there's nothing downloading. i normally load into the box. that world is less then 1mb. and my drive has at least 100gb left

[dark narwhal]

hmm not sure. I would try exiting the game clearing the cache and restarting it that may help

[whole flare]

nuked my cache. fingers crossed ;3;

[opaque hawk]

What is your internet speed and general ping?

[whole flare]

40Mb/s and usually my ping is no higher then 100 or so

[opaque hawk]

Very odd indeed

[whole flare]

log is full of messages like this 2019.03.13 22:25:25 Log - [VRCFlowManagerVRC] Preparation has taken 20 seconds, progress is 0%, loader state is PreparingAssets 2019.03.13 22:25:35 Log - [VRCFlowManagerVRC] Preparation has taken 30 seconds, progress is 0%, loader state is PreparingAssets 2019.03.13 22:25:45 Log - [VRCFlowManagerVRC] Preparation has taken 40 seconds, progress is 0%, loader state is PreparingAssets

http://prntscr.com/mxikup this is litterally all i'm seeing

i've restarted my pc. rebooted all the networking hardware in my home. cleared my cache. guess i'll try reinstalling. even tho i litterally played without issue last night

[opaque hawk]

🤔 wait a minute or two it may load. That may be the bug I ran into in beta.

[whole flare]

why does this have to happen the one day it's important i get online ;A;! (best friend is celebrating his bday in vrc today)

yes

[rustic plaza]

henlo?

[coarse anchor]

nice, vrc crashes on startup whit oculus now

gg

[ruby needle]

Works just as normal as always for me

[stone current]

does new update 4 window still oof games

cuz gota restart pc but cant restart w/o updating

a

[coarse anchor]

just keeps on crashing when trying to start it up

and if it doesent crash i get an infinite loadingscreen

[ruby needle]

have you tried the steps provided in #vrchat-support ?

[coarse anchor]

yes ofc.

it even crashes in desktop mode on oculus

[ruby needle]

interesting

[coarse anchor]

ill install it on steam now even tho its gonna ru like shit

[floral narwhal]

Is there an easy way to change your username, or do I need to go thru a bunch stuff in order to do that?
I recently finally found a name to go by online in general and I want to change to it, but I don't want to leave friends behind, haha.

[stone current]

ye

u just click 2 change ur name on websit

but it does not change login name

[velvet quarry]

https://www.vrchat.com/home/profile

[floral narwhal]

Yeet, thanks.

[small wing]

Same issue as penelope

[smoky umbra]

Just be sure as you can't change it again for a while ;p

tried all stuff in #vrchat-support already I assume? If so try launching the game from the website and see if that changes anything.

I guess it can also be things related to Oculus (again) being down/struggling earlier today.

[coarse anchor]

on steam it works

but i rather run the oculus one

[stone current]

oof it wont let me update oculus or kinect

[smoky umbra]

Yea it's about Oculus (and Facebook) being down then for users over the world.

So guess you gotta wait untill they solve there stuff

[stone current]

wait wat

[smoky umbra]

All Facebook services are down

[stone current]

ooof

y

also lol facebook has a twitter

[smoky umbra]

No idea
I don't work for them

[stone current]

https://twitter.com/facebook

[vocal shard]

lol

[heavy dawn]

Yeah my group of friends IRL use Messenger for chat and the images were broken and even text at one point.

[tepid moat]

hi

[heavy dawn]

wakes up to a nightmare

[vocal shard]

oh hell no

[vast tulip]

Anyone who still has the free $15 from Oculus, don't forget to spend that today! It expires today!

[sick gyro]

Oh wait, it really expires today? I should probably find something appealing to buy it with then!

I had no idea, thanks Mimi

[elfin geyser]

bish wat

[hollow umbra]

@vast tulip they want my mom credit card information before buying so I’m going to have to pass

[vocal shard]

can someone say to me the code to the secret room ?

[urban jasper]

1 2 3 4 5

I remember it because it's the same combination I have on my luggage

[rotund oxide]

I need to photoscan myself

and then rig it

so I can be in VRChat

[potent scaffold]

Hey peeps

[scenic mantle]

hi guys
new here,anybody ever use voice chat?

[queen mango]

I don't think there is a voice chat channel here.

[urban jasper]

I haven't seen one

[queen mango]

Also, isn't VRChat technically one, in addition to being able to look at other avatars?

[uncut trail]

add search function for community lab please so makes easier to find certain worlds n maybe tags aka horror

[frail bay]

hi

[potent scaffold]

Any RWBY VR people here?

[queen mango]

Last time I checked, there were a few of them RWBY fans in VRChat. I dunno where they are now

[urban jasper]

They're everywhere

[hollow mango]

I saw someone with the name Ruby Rose and using an avatar from the show.

Pretty neato

[meager solstice]

yeah i see alot of RWBY fans

[hollow mango]

Nice person iirc

[meager solstice]

ingame atleast

[hollow mango]

Yeah. I've also seen a lot of mute people. I mean, I'm one of em (new to vrchat) and I just find it curious.

[heavy dawn]

https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/34512645? Hmm... serious overclock and still just "ok"

I guess it's 2x the minimum spec for VR according to 3DMark

[urban jasper]

Sometimes I'm mute, sometimes I have a mic. Depends on whether or not I'm on VR or desktop.

Sometimes I get lazy.

[hollow mango]

Wonder if plenty of girls don't talk cause of harrasment issues.

[urban jasper]

I'd all but guarantee it

[hollow mango]

It's a given I guess.

[urban jasper]

The Internet is a cesspit full of creeps and losers

[hollow mango]

Word

[queen mango]

Unfortunately, that's the stigma we're forced to live with. Not to mention the gaming community.

[vocal shard]

I know a couple like that. They only talk when with close friends

[hollow mango]

It's for the best. Harrasment isn't an ok thing.

[urban jasper]

No, it isn't.

[hollow mango]

I don't use a mic for that reason.

[queen mango]

It isn't

Keeping quiet is the reason harassment goes unnoticed

[urban jasper]

I don't really blame anyone for not wanting to talk.

[hollow mango]

I don't mind being mute. I like expressing myself with the avatar.

I'm very emotive

[vocal shard]

anyone know the code for the classified avatars world?

[hollow mango]

Classified?

[vocal shard]

Luckily it seems like being mute is more accepted now. I stopped being a mute because i used to get cornerd and teased for being mute. That's why i started talking.
I think expressive mutes are really fun to be around though

[urban jasper]

Even when my mic is on I don't talk much

I just don't have much to say.

[hollow mango]

I like little mute anime girls. Like the really tiny ones. They're adorable.

[vocal shard]

Mhmm

[urban jasper]

I saw one of those little tiny avatars running around between the legs of other female avatars and looking up.

[hollow mango]

Maybe talking to people that like a subject as much as you would let the talk flow easier.

[urban jasper]

I tried to report the little bastard but he left before I got the chance

[hollow mango]

That's lewd

I've caught people doing that to me. It's annoying.

[urban jasper]

It's very annoying.

[hollow mango]

Dang creeps

[pulsar quail]

are worlds loading slow for anyone

[vocal shard]

it didnt work ;-;

[hollow mango]

Avatars weren't loading for me yesterday. But it turns out i had a war thunder update in the background.

So I deleted the game since I never play it.

[urban jasper]

You know on the one hand I wish I could pick up other avatars. But on the other hand it's probably best I can't do that because if I could, I would. A lot.

[hollow mango]

I would yeet annoying people across the room.

[urban jasper]

Yup.

[hollow mango]

I'd yeet myself too just for fun

Ok. That sounds weird.

[urban jasper]

Can't tell you how many times I've seen some teeny little dude running around and thought "I could chuck him 60 yards, guarantee it.."

[hollow mango]

I think th same thing sometimes

Vrchat is addicting.

[urban jasper]

Of course it could easily be flipped on me, and somebody using one of those GIANT avatars picks me up and tosses me across the map

[hollow mango]

I should separate my playtime between Street fighter and vrchat

Lol giant avatars

[urban jasper]

You've seen them, I know you have

Load into a Pug and it's like the Attack of the Fifty Foot Waifu

[hollow mango]

Yes. I saw a huge demon trying to caress an afk anime girl. Very weird indeed.

The pug is where I always go

[urban jasper]

I spend a lot of time in the Pug.

I like the Volt club too, that place is pretty neat

[hollow mango]

I met a depressed kid in the pug. Like talking to himself a lot in the corner.

[versed sleet]

The Pug was created by a long term member here- called Owlboy

[hollow mango]

I stuck with him for an hour to cheer him up. Poor kid.

[urban jasper]

It's a nice place

[hollow mango]

The club is loud.

[versed sleet]

He put a lot of time and heart into it.

[hollow mango]

The pug is the coolest place to me

So many things to throw

[urban jasper]

The Pug is the kind of bar I'd hang out at IRL

Grab a stool, have a couple beers and chill

[vocal shard]

The pug is based on a real bar

[queen mango]

I'd just go for a glass of wine

[hollow mango]

I just chuck beers at people

[versed sleet]

lol

[hollow mango]

It's amusing

[queen mango]

Great Dane for reference.. I believe it's around the Madison area

[hollow mango]

I love being mute

[urban jasper]

Every now and then I'll see someone behind the counter trying to stack everything on top of each other

[hollow mango]

Hey. I do that.

I got it pretty high

[urban jasper]

A lot of people do that. Hell I've done it.

[hollow mango]

I like doing cute things

Glad I found vrchat

Except for all the creeps

[urban jasper]

Me too. I like this game.

[hollow mango]

Still a fun time though

[urban jasper]

I like to just wander from world to world and watch people

[hollow mango]

I go around head patting everyone

[urban jasper]

Now and then I'll find a world with games and puzzles and that'll keep me occupied for awhile

[queen mango]

You may wanna keep out from the Box though. I heard some bad stuff happens there on a regular basis.. also for the Presentation Room, damn leprechauns

[hollow mango]

I think I found a couple of guys falling for my cute antics. IDK.

[vocal shard]

Vrchat is so cool to me. The whole aspect of making friends around the world, and all being able to hang out in the same virtual space. Always feels so cool to me

[urban jasper]

I found a world called Eye of Newt that has some neat alchemy type stuff going on.. craft recipes, get avatars

[hollow mango]

Oooh. I would like to check it out.

[urban jasper]

It's cool. The avatars are nice too, and well-optimized for the most part

[hollow mango]

I need to find more worlds. Only been to like 15 or less I think.

I like simple avatars without all the extra bells and whistles.

[urban jasper]

I found a neat world in the community lab with some very cool-looking avatars, but their stats all show red

[queen mango]

Oof.

[hollow mango]

Why do red stats matter?

Haven't seen stats

[queen mango]

It's an indicator for poor performance

[hollow mango]

Ohhhh

[urban jasper]

Really resource-intensive. They can drag people's systems down

Try to avoid using them if you can.

[hollow mango]

I have two crashes so far from people using avatars with crazy effects. I just block them now.

[urban jasper]

It's a shame, because I found an avatar there that I REALLY like, but it's a total hog so I can't use it...

[hollow mango]

I need more ram maybe

[queen mango]

Well, there is the safety settings. That allows you to block the avatar, but not the person

How much RAM does your setup have?

[hollow mango]

I'm fine with just blocking the avatar. I don't like blocking people in general.

8 atm

[urban jasper]

Passable.

[hollow mango]

I want 8 more at least

Rtx 2070 I think. I forgot.

So decent PC with an i7?

[urban jasper]

I'm told VRChat is more CPU-heavy than GPU-heavy

[hollow mango]

I forget my things

[urban jasper]

I'm not sure how true that is
