I've got an older i5 with a GTX 1060 and by and large the game runs fine for me
but I also have 16GB of RAM
I'll shop around for more ram.
The good news is RAM isn't terribly expensive right now
I don't know what other games need more ram. Every game I have i run at max.
Except elite dangerous in VR.
I kinda want Elite Dangerous
VRChat is a different beast, VR in general is a different beast when it comes to CPU and RAM
That game is cool as hell. Even got the flight stick.
I'm getting good at bounty hunting.
I want to get a steering wheel and pedals for Assetto Corsa
That game is awesome in VR
Just slap some trance and get the money.
I got wheel for assetto. But I really want a clutch so I can drift good.
I'm saving for a wheel and pedals too
A shift knob would be cool too
A good wheel and pedal setup is gonna be around $3-400
and I just don't have the disposable income right now for that
My wheel and pedals cost 200. It's not bad.
But yeah. 3 to 400 for a good setup.
I've spent like almost 3000 on PC stuff.
Worth it tho
My current PC ran me I think about $1200 when I built it
Do you have to upgrade soon or anything?
I'll probably build a new one in about a year
Supposedly I won't for 3 to 5 years
This rig is about 3 years old.
I need to learn about building PC's
It's EASY.
It's like a big 3D jigsaw puzzle.
Seems simple to understand at a glance.
All you need to do is make sure you're grounded, and take your time.
Oh I almost forgot. There's a Street Fighter tournament going on.
I'm a patient one.
Then you'll be fine.
Good luck, have fun
\ 
anyone else having connection issues?
I try to go to new worlds and can only download at 800kb/s. Really snail speeds here.
@rapid harbor me too, this has been happening to me since last night
any work arounds?
not from what I've found
I've been searching the server and i've seen a few people mention it but no solution
mkay
lets see if we can make this issue known.
i had one but dont anymore x.x
i remember that worked last time something like this happened
im ganna see how it works with protonvpn since its free lol
welp, its working really well, just fine actually. you wouldnt happen to be south east united states would you?
like,..... florida?
alright. thanks for the insite regardless though
I'm looking for this map in video at 6.09 -> https://youtu.be/NsO8PUCuYLQ?t=369 would be awsome to find it >_< and/or other maps like it aswell. 
@hazy jolt from a guess it looks like jetdog's prefab, if you look under the Community Labs section you should see it.
"JetDog's Prefabs"
Hewwo.
I was wondering if its possible to "enable" phantom sense, if u didnt have it before at all, and i guess u can somehow but- is it always hard to do, or it can be super easy for one and super hard for other? What could you do to "enable" it? Some worlds in VRchat? Videos? Someone irl that would have to touch your arm for example as on some video?
I think phantom sense is like your mind expecting to feel what it sees, but when it does happen, you get a slight feeling like your mind is trying to fill it in. for me, i don't feel it if someone touches my arm in vr or something. But if someone touches my face in vr, i definitely feel something. or at least like pressure or tingling where i expect the feeling to come from
yike
Something the issue?
Hey, I am getting this weird click notification noise randomly happening in VRChat, did they add something in the latest patch that notifies when people go on or offline or something?
phantom touch comes from imagination and sensitivity in general. one thing you're born with and can't change, other you can train - imagination. it's basically a lottery
I've heard of some douche claiming he can teach people how to feel it, cause apparently he has had more than 500 erp sessions 
oof
@low wave Haven't confirmed it myself, I'll try checking in if it happens when I get back from studies
Also, ERP? 
Thank you, feel free to DM me.
I will be going to bed in a few minutes, I might not be able to respond immediately. Looking forward to what you find.
!ONLINE
There are 4469 users in VRChat currently
I heared a guy say who has phantom sense that he had vr sex with someone ... π he said hes now not a vr virgin anymore
hm...
you'd be surprised how common it has become in vrc
guy without a name spawning portals literally on top of people in pug 89286
gotta report the way it says it #moderation-reports . Output Log, Emails, etc
yeah i can't really be bothered tbh
well, nothing will happen then lol
no one here can do anything and they don't accept reports any other way
i don't need you to tell me that i simply threw that information for a fraction of my time here incase anycase any moderator cared
lol obviously you did because you didn't know β€ but ok
childish comments
Better than your random rude ones π
some people don't care to do their part, it's ok tho hopefully someone will eventually~

hello
The report system needs more options I was trying to report someone that had a modded client they were teleporting people and spawning portals underneath players
We even tried a vote kick but they were able to null vote it themself
I just report the avatar for malicious stuff if that happens
its the best i can do at least.
But yeah, we do need more options for sure.
god ridanc
I make worse stuff, I just never make them public.
Lots of accidental shader errors when testing and funny outcomes.
Made a shader once that somehow forced an orthographic view lmao
deleted it right after cause it was borked
It sounds wonderful
it hurt my eyes lmao
pro tip, don't edit LUX Standard unless you really know what you are doing.
bad things will happen
On it
I'm surprised i haven't been banned yet just for being an idiot sometimes lol.
At least messing up shaders helps me learn though, and plus i delete them all if they are doo doo
u can use amplify and shaderforge if u no wana code
ye but not if u alredy kno how 2 write and optimize those kinda shaders
I use it to make post processing shaders that don't hurt your eyes in vr
the post processing stack has some really bad stereo issues with chromatic abberation and noise.
I kinda wish someone on the VRChat team would code up some custom post processing shaders and slap them in the sdk
they don't like post processing unless for a world
Ye, thats what i mean.
Custom PP shaders for worlds would be pretty awesome
If there was a way to somehow only let it work on the post processing stack, that would be a godsend for world makers.
And also something of a can of worms that maybe should be kept shut too, hard to tell.
Eh, they already made community labs a thing.
Just gotta review em if they are bad for eyes, and keep a massive warning label on it.
most of hard part about making a shader is handling culling and depth testing
Maybe even give out awards for people who are active in reporting malicious worlds.
cuz those are annoying 2 fiddle with if not using an editor
no like
sometimes im like "hey i want a transparent shader"
"oof things are not culling properly"
"oof transparency is hiding/culling other transparent stuff"
"oof its rendering under transparent objects"
etc
Ye, usually 1 click fix in amplify.
thats y people have issue w/ like
or at least for refraction
using Fade and Cutout
Cutout doesn't have the same sorting problems as transparent
You can get improvements to the edges on cutout with alpha-to-coverage, but still not at the same level as transparent.
it a 0 or 1 alpha clamp
bc designed 2 make depth and culling actually work
then making that work with a variable alpha shader is kinda hard
it 1 of the things i forgot 2 do 4 my PS1 shader
u can change the alpha multiplier scale and use transparent textures with transparency settings
but it would not render transparent things that are behind others
like if u had 2 wings and they were both translucent
u couldnt see one if covered by the other
but idrk how 2 fix it cuz not that smort in shader
mmm
is possible to disable vrchat window when launching it on vr?
(it will lead more performance?)
so if you see someone who is under 13, what would you do?
Anyone else having issues logging in?
@void blade You can minimize it
@hollow mango no not at all
does help a little bit. I used to change the desktop resolution by holding left alt on launch to open the unity settings
try setting it to desktop low too
@vocal shard #moderation-reports
Weird, maybe it's my net.
ty
you can also possibly limit the frame rate for the desktop window to an absurdly low frame rate
not sure if that affects whats being rendered on the headset though
might have to mess with Rivatuner and see
@hollow mango im having problems too
@flint yoke Try sending output logs to the moderation team
If i remember correctly, there is information about connecting in the logs.
@flint yoke sucky situation. I really wanted to play.
On my 5th try.
Maybe I'll try reinstalling.
Can Community Lab worlds be favorited or set to home?
I was using the oculus version before
Launching it with steamvr made me able to get in @hollow mango
Don't know if you're in vr
but it helped me
I need to download it on steam then.
I can't launch the game on steam if I try adding the game to my steam library.
Believe you have to actually install it via steam cause it uses steamvr and such etc
You could've just verified the integrity of the game files
Instead of redownloading it
https://i.imgur.com/5nZXsNx.png is Vrchat's current unity version right?
That's the current version VRChat uses, so yeah
I verified the integrity of your FACE! (It's good. All there. Nice stuff.)
π
I cant go into an other world
Ok but have you guys tried jumping in real life when you jump in vr?
Yeah
What happened
Depends.
If i crouch, and jump irl and press jump at the same time. It syncs up and looks decent. If you just jump irl but don't jump in game, you start to leave your body. If you jump irl with full body tracking, than your avatar will jump in game too and it matches your movements
Oof 
The big oof
Sometimes I am excited and I jump IRL and the character just... streteches their legs straight. π
Jumping in full body makes you jump on vr. Doing that and also fake jumping is a bad idea
Someone posted a really good compilation of breaking things in VRC in #general-media and I feel like that's where this discussion is going. haha
Is it safe to update Unity yet?
I mean, you can use a new version of Unity for other things and just keep 2017.ancientversion installed in the unity Hub.
All right. I wasn't sure since that announcement about the security issues.
Vrchat always requires a specific version of unity. Itβs never the latest version and they will announce when you should and to which version. If unity itself says an update is available, never accept it.
@gusty spear Unity3D put out a patch for older versions. Right in that announcement from VRChat, you'll see the link to the security patch for the right version.
Thanks!
This ones dope
It be a good icon
Now i wanna give you a hug! ^^
Whoa
Does vr pill actually play
NANI?! it's a wild vr pill
Ive never seen him
Wait, the vrchat team is finally talking again
that seems to be your trend, one terrifying pfp then someone draws cute art of it
I shouldn't say that
youve never seen him? lmao
Ive met ron and tupper a long time ago a few times
Seen aev
"long time ago" mhmmmmmmm
I wonder if there will be new artwork of Ruuubick.. He probably needs a change of profile picture
Actually i seen some devs in void a few weeks ago
public void?
Yes
ayy you know what they were there for
π€
cmon, people only go into public voids for that spicy rp
Duno what that is
Hewwo ppl

Im in unity when i get home from work
Barely play the game
Do people actually get ban for headpatting tupper and vrpill
?
Or is that a meme
I'm not sure if you are really reformed
?
I'm usually on these days when most people are sleeping
Oh hey Pill
I don't see how they would do that, even though headpats are a rarity for them
You on at like 12 AM PST?
I'm gonna guess that
or later
Just like @vocal shard
ahem ahem
So EU times pill or?
like a vampire, when the sun rises I go to sleep
Ozzy times
I find night mode works best with playing ps4 games with no sun to mess with the screen π
So a vampire?
Yeah, I'm usually 12-3am. Gaming during the day isn't my thing anymore
I'm gonna guess you hate the Belmonts in Smash Ultimate

I try to sleep during the day and work at night
Tbh- The only times i play proper games is on the weekends by now.
During the week i barely play games beside stuff thats single player and takes no focus at all.
I work office hours reee
Whenever I have free time from schoolworks, I play VRChat from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or later
Well, atleast that's how my past schedule works
Nowadays, I only play VRChat whenever I feel obligated to do so, whenever it'd be an event I want to join, or oversee
People keep dropping portals in my path to the Community Guidelines rip
And no, I'm not getting banned, I physically witness them setting the portal and laughing as I stumble in if I look away or just happen to not notice
If you walk into a portal backwards you wonβt go through it
report them, pretty much all you can do
How do you open the quick menu in vr
Iβm using Lenovo explorer rn
the menu in game? the small button between the thumbstick and touch pad
Thank you
no problem
i wish i could stay up late anymore midnight is my limit
like any later and im tired the next day
I haven't been on in a couple days. Think I'll hop on and poke around
I haven't gotten in VRChat for the last couple of weeks.. Probably when there is something around, I would get in for that
I'm in pretty much every day, just late night squad
@hardy seal you should be a night shift worker. Can be up all night and sleep all day.
i cant pick my hours
I apologize if this is the wrong place to put this but two friends of mine got ddos'ed tonight, the people who ddos'ed them were even bragging about it saying its ok because my friends were "harassing women" (which wasn't the case, they were just going in publics making jokes, and the vod from this stream can prove it)
It wasn't a simple crash, both the guy streaming in the clip and his friend British Maniac got their internet cut off completely for a while.
Many people that I know, including me, are scared of streaming or simply entering public worlds because of these type of people that can easily pull a switch and mess people up, so can we get these guys banned? At least the people bragging about it in the clip, because this is messed up.
https://clips.twitch.tv/AstuteUninterestedStapleVoHiYo
@real jay #moderation-reports
Thank you
happens a lot someone created an extension for a client that logs all ips in the lobby
you can get booters cheap as hell online too
Hello
You'll want to get the clips from the stream and follow what that says and upload it to either youtube unlisted or google drive. Linking the video might not be enough
be sure to include the log file
Nothing much happening. Just listening to a seminar
google drive is terrible for a software if youre giving stuff out you can rat that shit so easily
lmfao
π
Should I update my sdk?
yes
Preferrably to 2017.4.15f1
sdk != unity
anyone here mind helping a newbie with unity?
all of the materials and textures are just showing black
Just out to say that april fools day is going to be the day i give someone a heart attack. π
Got so many ideas for pranks on avatars.
yall better be doing stuff too
π
Scare pranks are unfunny and have nothing to do with April fools. 
Consider something actually funny...
Any good place to post about finding more people to hang out with in VRChat? I thought about the subreddit but thought this would be a better place to ask. I've been getting into VRChat more, but without being able to talk to people offline since there isn't a messaging system in or integrated to VRChat, finding people that are online is kind of hard. And not every lobby has people who actually want a re-occurring friend or buddy. It's cool to meet new people here and there, but it'd be nice to have a few people I can hang out with regularly too.
anyone know how to setup all the stuff for play space mover mine deleted itself and idk how to fix it
That's how I met all mine, just kinda hanging out in publics.
Then you slowly integrate into their group, find people you click with more within that, then within their own groups, etc, etc.
@vocal shard get openvr advanced settings: contains playspace mover built in https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings
most of my friends stopped playing vrc so i barely get on anymore but yeh if you just look for people you can chill with its fun
Anyone know if switching mic ingame will come back?
That will be when Unity fixes the bug where you can't switch mics
yes
It's been months already, however
btw, if you need it in a pinch, disable your mics in windows, and activate only the one you want
lets you swap it on the fly uwu
login down?
Where can I find a tomoko watamote in vr chat
My VRChat won't favourite avatars for some reason
Oh apparently it was jus taking a long time to load
Yeah, sometimes it takes a bit
for some reason every time i load vr chat the camera spins
do you have a joystick by any chance?
im in desktop mode
yes, even then
no then
then idk
Any kind of gamepad or related software plugged in and/or running?
nope
Hm, that is odd. Does it happen with any avatar too?
im just using the starting one so maybe i cant really check
do you have any weird windowed-fullscreen forcing apps
or any overlays that might steal your mouse
If it is somehow the avatar causing it, ctrl+\ will locally force you into a robot avatar where you can change to something else if need be.
no i dont have any overlays and ill try that
i cant really change avatars as i cant click on the menu
Even after trying the ctrl-backslash thing?
yup
That rules out the avatar being the problem at least. It's some kind of input getting weird.
maybe its my taskbar sometimes it still stays up in fullscreen
that wasnt it anyways thanks for trying to help
Can I connect my Xbox One control to my laptop and play VRChat?
Part 1 ) yes you can use XBONE controllers on PC without issue
Part 2) I don't know... is there controller support?
How does VRLow and DesktopLow differ?
there was a pin that showed all the settings
also DesktopLow doesnt exist no more iirc
It's there when I hold shift tho
oh it replaced DesktopHigh
honestly just use the right setting for ur pc
if ur on desktop use desktop if ur in vr use vr
@stone current @fluid prawn You can use desktop low wirh vr. I know many people who do.
y would u tho
ye but i can run vrhigh with no notable difference bc my gpu pretty good
i just need better cpu
idk y u would do vr with a bad gpu tho
"Why would people pick higher performance?"
Well... because they need to get more frames?
If you have a bad system desktop low is a good option
I have a 2070 and in some rooms I still get huge lag. I'm actually interested in these settings.
its not related 2 gpu most likely
Heh... and when I do a 3D mark Time Spy I get at least over 2x the VR specs.
I have this weird problem of everything loading slower with vr, to the point that nothing loads and I have high ping (which leads to disconnect loop)
like literally i have vrhigh enabled and i notice 0 performance impact bc unity already wasnt using that much of my gpu
Just use desktop low all the way
No reason to use anything else in the games current state
u just need a better cpu
Even if your in vr
^
@fluid prawn you on wifi?
yes
i use vrhigh bc of the AA and quality buff
also some worlds require vrhigh settings
@stone current True... the game uses like 10% of my GPU heh
Well get wired
The VR trackers and stuff interfere with the wifi
exactly u just need a cpu upgrade cuz the gpu is fine
lag from the IK and dynamic bones and all that stuff
I actually figured out my Beat Saber streaming problem (probably related). I was using OBS with desktop capture. Apparently the VR capture plugin makes a MASSIVE difference.
Ohh. Okay now it makes sense. Thank you!
Vrchat wont ever run perfectly because of the way its designed
Ive heard more than enough people say that
@heavy dawn dont capture your vr on beatsaber, its gonna look like hell
VRChat could run perfectly if they upgraded to a 2018 unity build and used final iks multithreading support
but if u have the best/fastest cpu of now it should run much better
Sai: really? It still only uses like 30% GPU with the OBS VR plugin and it runs great.
It looks like shit though.
probably does lower quality capture bc theres more 2 capture
It looks pretty much the same to me. Might as well stream what I'm seeing. Do you mean the smearing that Vive does if you have low FPS?
no it does an openvr capture but it looks like shit because of head bobbing and co
wait do you not have camera plus installed
Yeah then nvm, it will look shit regardless
is learning things from Sai
wuf
Is there an article on Beat Saber streaming I should look up?
No, there isnt
isnt there a from ingame camera streaming for beat saber
usually you would just run the modinstaller but the last beatsaber update had major changes so that needs to be revamped first
I learn things constantly from saj
r e e e e
weeee
I mean, I'm happy with streaming my view but obviously if I can make a setup where it's an external view of my avatar playing like I've seen online that'd be cooler. Much easier for someone to wach.
Things like an in-VR view don't bother me so I have to keep in mind that it makes other people sick.
No you can keep your view but it gets smoothed out so its not as painful to watch
How do people do that thing where you see an avatar from a 3rd person perspective?
same plugin, has a toggle
Oh cool π
but still #general-media

are all the community lab maps buggy? i cant seem to load to them
A lot of them are, but for some reason if they're cached it will take a while
If you revisit a previously downloaded world you have to wait like 20 seconds before the "Go!" button pops up.
Hello
@median basalt i dont have the go button enabled so i should be there as soon as the downloads done
the problem that im having is that the download stays at 0B with it not moving
What is a good mic to get?
Ayy, looks like sci fi complex is private again, epic
those community lab maps sure are buggy, now i cant even load in to vrchat home
like lol
seems like it
yup
yeah me and all my friends crashed
Game lagged in the middle of a chess game
oh that explains it
uff xD
inb4 all staff members in vacation this happend
@vocal shard For VR or desktop
For the game
My birthday was a few days ago. And I think I want some mic to work on VR after I start it on Steam.
^i like how hes thinking
Can you just answer my question LMAO
Do you want to use that microphone while in VR or for your desktop usage
servers back up i think
VR for sure lol
There we go, if you want to use it in vr i recommend a modmic
Sorry my form of communication has always been weak so yeah
The Ocolus Rift has a built-in mic
Yeah vive and oculus both have microphones already, but if you want a third party one i can recommend a mod mic c:
I'm just trying to think price wise what would be affordable.
oculus built in mic sounds like you putting it below your tongue
no
oculus build in mic is actually good 
Anyway time to check out all the prices online again.
until you grab the rift to fit it perfectly onto your face
i kinda wish they had those adjustable foam ting
cuz all the foam thing can do is come out or go in u cant liek move it 2 fit u face better
Rip
the oculus mic is a big old 50/50
some ship with really good mics some ship with trashy ones
me oculus mic better than my laptop mic
oculus mic is pretty goode for me
i like it too
i know 2 people who got trashy ones and got a replacement from oculus.
but most seem to be fine
Can somebody send me a link to the one you got? If not here at least in DM?
rokk got a shitty one, then got a replacement and that one also turned out to be bad
he just ended up getting separate headphones
that sucks....
oof
I bought mine dirrectly from MediaMarkt in Vienna. I have no problems so far
The idea of taking to randoms is yeah I got to do some convincing for a Ocolus lol
I bought mine on Amazon lmao
mediamarkt not oculus store so idk y that would matter
i got mine off amazon and it had the problem
i got mine off oculus website
amazon typically has rather up to date stuff
weirdly enough both other people that i know that have that issue got it from amazon too
So setting up quite the hassle or nah?
Oh no, setting it up is no hassle at all, its like a one hour setup for once and then you dont have to touch it again
woag
Oh wow 128 worlds you can favorite nice!
The one thing though this hard drive cuts off every hour...
So I got to keep turning the PC back on.
That doesn't sound good at all
Yeah and it's not old either
@vocal shard If you run Speccy, how hot is the drive?
(also Speccy will give you the full SMART stats)
Oh okay I'll download that soon.
The time consuming updates
30% been on it forever...
Finally anyway so what is people favorite worlds in the game?
Something to know about me I tend to kill chats quite easily lol never on purpose.
my fav maps are the most boring thing to most people lel
Ah okay
I can't say really mine yet. I been off and on VR.
Is anyone else black screening?
Okay I'm on Speccy @heavy dawn it saids average temperature for PC oh dang it was in the 60s went to the 80s quick.
Is it a laptop or PC?
Wow ten mins this time the pc auto shut off.
If it's a PC make sure you don't have laods of dust in it...
Well I wasn't the one who bought it. Still they took the side off so you see the wires. The issue is it's took to somebody a few times didn't get fix.
Well heating problems are simple
Or your not getting enough air into the machine or your not pulling enough air out...
It can be the fans are bad, your blocking any air ways or dustt
You have just badly build cases and heatsinks but. Those should not over heat by default even then...
At least it's not making a lot of noise so one good thing.
You sure your fans are even spinning....?
VRChat servers are down?
Read what I wrote in #user-support-old
Sounds high Cody. I'm out for a walk.
Guess you found your problem
Hold some paper against the output and see if it moves. Make sure the paper is light tho
I can't be overlooking it the side is taken off to.
Yeah I put some paper on the side didn't move
I still really want a mic but if this keeps up yeah...
Also when I start it saids upgrade my graphic drivers.
So idc I like using the pc but everything else with it meh
vrchat died
Hey there, little question, how can I report a user, just so I know for the future? I was told there is a report button, but I honestly could not find it xD
Nah, it wasn't there
Not sure if I first need to activate that somewhere
I already blocked him and can't really remember his username, but I'll keep that in mind for next time
wym need 2 activate
Honestly someone bragging about how the devs hate him and he's apparently been avoiding getting banned for one and a half year white hacking is not something I want to be around π
And the button is just not there. Like, I didn't see it. I was told it's there, but I didn't see it π
ye it shows up in social when u click the person in bottom right
I didn't see that
Maybe I'm just blind I suppose xD
Honestly I've never seen someone so disrespectful to the developers of a game before.
I'm going to try to see if I can borrow another computer. But idk if they will let me use it for VR lol.
Yeah how it goes you get that one person every so often on games or sites.
Anyway it's one thing to get a mic but another to actually make conversation you're proud of.
It's shutting down so it won't burn and melt the parts...
Yeah ik
I just hate it's come down to it.
It's not even that old
Any potential fun if I got to get a mic is ruined.
sighs
I seen so many VRChat videos on YT
And just want the full experience.
I didn't start seeing them until I started playing this game more
I don't go out of my way looking for them, but I just seem to stumble across them more often now
well its kinda hard 2 have
They made me genuinely laugh. Which is hard for me to do.
'the full experience' if u dont spend at least like $300
on headset and fullbody tracking
assuming both things are decent
not like worst headset + xb360 kinect
I don't mind no tracking. I just want to have a mic and talk and have fun. That is enough for me to get all I want out of it.
wut am i doing here
woofing
woof
Besides I can't do lying down lol
do u know?
Just because of issues with some parts of my body
Xiexe is the first person to create a account for discord itself.
no but srsly HIS THING SAYS #0001
Anyway if I find a solution. I be back one day bye.
lul wut
The ID system doesn't entirely work that way
Discord number ID is randomized unless set manually with discord nitro
In all reality though, it is difficult to find people with an older Discord account than mine.
@vapid musk There's two ways to report someone. The in-game button people already mentioned, and also sending an email to moderation@vrchat.com. See the #moderation-reports channel for guidelines on what to put in an email.
A good method to get someone's exact name, is to check your game logs and use the search function to find and confirm it. That way you only need a small part of the name to get the full name. You can also use steam screenshots as a quick and silent method to record a nametag, since tags will still show up in those.
If sending an email, be sure to check you're sending the right logs. The mods will need some form of evidence to be able to investigate and act on.
so what is this heat thing on the vrc website on the worlds? is it how hot it makes your computer when in the world or something?
are you talking about dot
@vapid musk if its who i think you're talking about
he's an actual creep too
uses fennic kemono
Nah, he was like having a shader rainbow sparcle whatever shaders-all-over-the-place avatar, talking about being in some sort of gang and crashing people and whatnot, dunno, weirdo.
Didn't stop talking and was talking shit about the devs, and honestly, as a kind-of developer myself I just felt really disgusted by him and blocked him, problem solved :P
If you ever get the chance in future, is worth reporting these types. They only get away with it because over 99% of players simply never bother to or don't know how.
lol
nobody deserves to talk about being "hated by the devs" unless thy're dot
he earned the ability to say that at least not some rando dumb crasho foxboy
We need to turn those bragging conversations into, "Ugh, I got banned again and have to re-add my entire friend list. Not worth it anymore. I'll just go back to playing LoL."
'I hate this game so much i joined a group of angry people and we play the game loads to show how angry we are!'
Some of them actually love and are dependant on the game. They just also happen to be edgy idiots who insist on burning their own house down for attention.
Yes. xD
the crasher gang thing is almost its own game i think
I love that image.
lol
its so true
the crasher gang thing used to infest the rest of the game but not anymore really... i think its just a way for them to act out their fantasies in a safe environment really. they're cringy and i dont want to hang out with them but its whatever imo as long as they stay in their own box instances
with the other neon foxboi's and bipolar girls (ALL OF THEM ARE)
Yeah, I'm not sure what caused it, but fortunately they have been less public with their stupid gang wars lately.
they made this declaration of peace when the safety thing got added lel... oh ohi wonder what happened
Mhmm. That seemed to be the turning point.
oooh you said less public i thought you meant it flared up again, yeah it was the safety thing they couldn't crash each other anymore so they pretended it was voluntary
and since they didn't have power anymore there wasn't a point for them to show up in public. even the log out client thing seems to be over and if a new one exists it's currently only in certain inner circles atm
This is like when Windows 95's nascent networking stack left it open to remote code execution and kids on IRC would just crash each other for funsies. Like there were point and click "nuke" tools.
Player reports essentially go into the trash
dude i think these kids are the same thing that was on IRC like XxX|30||R||)zXxX types of l33tspeak kids
Make sure to gather video and log evidence of yourself getting crashed
Then send that to moderation@vrchat.com as outlined in #moderation-reports
Emails are taken seriously, ingame reports far less so.
the log is a big one. always submit the log
reporting is only so streamers can get their followers to mass report people sot hey go from purple tag to green
literally all its good for
its funny vrchat is like what irc used to be...
just more personal and closer to real interaction
i unironically think vrchat is closer to irc than it is to secondlife
The log by itself is not enough btw
true
Its sadly 99% of the time the one thing people can actually send.
Bink Bink Bonk

ok so my pc is poop, how do i make vrchat go faster?
wth noe is playng vrchat and hes been there for 10 hours
Upgrade parts, close down parts, overclock it if you are able with your parts and disable things ingame/settings lower.
the first one: i am going to add a gtx 1070 soo thanks tho. i already disabled things ingame
hold on for vr you need to have 90fps min?
45 is lowest you should have
90 is the cap and what you should aim for always.
But keep in mind Desktop runs way better then VR
yes i know cuz in vr it renders 2 different screens
btw i am aiming for the 90fps
do i need to upgrade the cpu?
You don't need 90 FPS in VR and you won't easily reach it in fuller instances anyway
A GTX 970 or better will run the game perfectly fine
CPU is what you need to look out for
What kind of CPU do you currently have? I had an Intel core i5 2500k and it was miserable
I run a gtx 1050ti, it works. If you can do better than you should. But as Rokk said itβs CPU that matters most.
I run the game on an i5 2500k and a GTX960, with 16gb of RAM. Using Vive headset.
It's been plenty enough for me to enjoy the game, but does occasionally limit what I can do, and obviously can make the experience less comfortable at times.
Is also worth noting that I overclocked my CPU to 4.6ghz. So it's an old relic that you could describe as running fast but stupid. (Lacks the modern instruction sets Unity 2017 expects)
For me 45 FPS is generally the best I get spare when looking at the sky, or exploring simple worlds solo.
30 FPS is my "comfortable" norm in a typical room. 23FPS is where it seems to settle when in a busy room or with more performance hungry effects going off.
i have a intel i5 650 (no joke
Whatever that is doesn't sound like it will cut it then, no. ^ ^;
i love the vive
man, I didnt know CPUs were that bad
i tried it and its cool
Is also worth noting that (unless I'm mistaken) the FPS counter in game shows the raw FPS before reprojection doubles it.
idk if my cpu can be changed
cuz i think its glued to the socket or something like that
btw
You'd need to check the socket number on it, but I'm pretty certain that anything remotely worth upgrading to will require a new motherboard yeah.
Oh... glue? Yuck. :x
Yeah, Vive will work for any space that's not a closest under the stairs.
Although you may get varying mileage from the games designed for it.
oof
My space is 2x2m, but also includes a bit of free arm span space around that floor space.
btw on the room setup it says 2x1m but on the vive setup it says 2x1.5
Have you got any open air space around that area of yours?
yep
Generally you can kind of test and get a feel for a potential playspace just by making steps around and and swinging your arms.
lemme try
In the worst case scenario, you can usually at least find something to stand against with your back to and only use in game rotation.

If you've got room to stand somewhere and swing in a mostly forward arc, you've got enough space. More just improves the experience by letting you move more freely/confidently.
i dont wanna go to the ER like Jameskii
I mean... if you talk to a good number of users in this game at least, they only ever use their VR whilst sitting down with a desk in front of them, unable to even turn due to having the basic Rift package.
oof for them
btw i already installed steam vr and the viveport
cuz they say its raccomanded to install the software before
buyng the vive
I usually just tuck my screen back for calm games. For more active games I sometimes slip the bubblewrap envelope that the Vive box comes in over it. (Is ironically a perfect fit for most monitors.)
i am gonna turn my monitor like 180Β°
Some people put a board or some other object in front to protect it.
That's another way. I also know a girl who puts a giant teddy bear on her desk when playing VR. xD
lmao i have a mario pupet here
i hope i dont break something (fornitures, even my hand or my arm cuz i dont want to go to the hospital)
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-650-vs-Intel-Core-i5-2500K
Looking at this, you're definitely going to want to upgrade the CPU when possible. Although with the GTX1070 you'll probably get better performance than me in other VR games at least.
The 960 is enough for most situations in VR-Chat, though it's a bit short for some other VR titles. Normally have to reduce graphical settings.
What is?
i like pavlov, bigscreen, vrchat, tiltbrush,
Oh, ignore those prices. You don't want to buy my CPU. xD
ya sure?
It was awesome for it's day, and has held up amazingly for a 7 year old CPU. But I very much need to retire the thing.
I only posted that for specs comparison, to get an idea of what you've got, compared to what I've got.
my first vr headset was a google cardboard
then one of my friends called me to try the vive
and geez its cool
I honestly need to do some research into what CPUs are available today. Have been putting it off for ages.
And later I plan on upgrading my GPU. Whenever some new game insists on it, or if a good opportunity for prices comes up.
i am going to the gtx 1070 so i could play more vr titles
1070 should do well for a while yeah. Have you already ordered it?
nope
i am going to buy it this summer
w/my dad
btw i have a question
about the vive
Sure?
yep
soo when you move ur eyes while you are wearing the headset do you see black or do you see the game?
You still see the game. Whilst the field of view is slightly limited, there is enough room to make use of natural eye movement.
I've heard of it. Can't afford it. xD
VR applications will be a bit warped and odd towards the edges of your field of view however due to how the lenses and such works, so you sort of end up looking around the center most of the time, perhaps even moving your head around a bit more.
It might become relevant when foveated rendering becomes a common feature, but I'm hoping a more affordable headset option turns up first.
thanks afromana
PS, have a plan for putting the Lighthouses up. I had to wait a day to setup mine due to my old battery powered drill being too crappy for my walls. ^ ^;
Though I presume your dad can help with this.
i am scared that the windows obstruct the fov of the lighthouse
Some camera tripods and some shelves worked for me, though tripods can be unusually expensive.
Large windows with a lot of reflective surface could interfere with the tracking systems, having a curtain or something to cover them could be a good idea.
i have courtains
Yeah, that's always an option. Though I wouldn't have anywhere to place even a single tripod. Nor have any shelves. Wall mounted corner placement gets you the best possible playspace size either way though.
i have like one wall and one shelf
If you've got curtains, you can just place the lighthouse a tiny bit away from the corner. Will work fine.
My room is the same. I just moved it along the wall 10cm to be clear of them.
but since i dont wanna buy a shelf mounting option i am just gonna drill in the side of the shelf
Jegus... I just looked at my VRChat in my task manager... 10GB? o.o Is it THAT intensive?
yep
Yeez, gotta upgrade my RAM then
Well the Vive comes with a pair of wall mounts in the box as standard.
i kno
So unless you can't drill the walls, there's surely somewhere you can put them.
They're just tiny rectangles the size of a bank card.
they are THAT tiny?
hold on if i turn off my lighthouses do i need to retrace the play area walls or not?
Nope
Their front surface area is about the size of two bank cards stacked above eachother I feel.
Unless you move them you dont need to recalibrate the location
I meant the mounts themselves, rather than the lighthouse box.
Ah, yeah that sounds about right
Wall mounting the lighthouses made a big difference in deadzones or the controllers randomly warping off somewhere.
π
Yep. My friend group recently did a thing where we were in the presentation room, and someone declared, "Lets all draw our playspaces!"
stands in place and rotates
Was a bit of an eye opener, how some people took that as meaning just drawing their chaperone, whilst me and a few others drew out our entire room.
I traced along all my furniture exactly, drew the corners and faces of every wall, drew a bit of space outside my door, moved the curtains and drew my window, etc.
Was actually really fun re-creating a scale model of my room in VR, allowing everyone to essentially see me jump and flop on the bed and such.
do you have full body tracking or oHaH( only Head and Hands)
WIth properly mounted lighthouses, your chaperone is the zone you feel safe in, but otherwise your actual playspace is the entire room.
I've got FBT yeah.
Never heard it be called that before, think I've usually heard it be called "Three point tracking"
wow
wanna go in vrc?
aformana i call it like that and its invented by me
(the word)
Trademarked phrase. Do not steal. :v
squishy wanna go in vr and play vrchat w/me? (i am not able to speak)
Heh, you want to see me kick around or flop on the floor? ^ ^;
Hmm. I would if I wasn't in the middle of updating a world. : /
oof
I kinda want to get it done before a friend comes online. Have already been procrastinating.
Big thanks to SwissMeat for crashing my game
Local or online electronic hardware retailers I would assume.
oh
what
English only Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Except in the international channels, but we don't have one for turkish
Please use English in this server, the only exceptions are the language channels, though there does not appear to be one for Turkish at this time
oHaH is an ablest acronym it imlies that us nonfbt users as ONLY head and hands
i am, in fact, calling the ACLU as we SPEAK mr
OmO
I know what happened that has lagged me a lot in vrchat, because it has activated many avatars.
noone cares

yayayay
We've said this to you so many times already to not post the same comment across multiple chanmels, Goopy
hi
i am new to vr chat and i started to look for tutorials how to play with my own 3d model
i want to play with Morgana in VRC
uwu
i cant make custom skeleton?
just human
Unless you want a non humanoid avatar. But then you will get a heap of other problems and things not working.
But Morgana (From LoL i assume?) Is a humanoid avatar. So why would you not want to make it one?
yea what he said
Oof.. I don't think you can find Persona 5 avatars anymore. Bladewild may have sealed it away when he last updated his Cafe Leblanc world
hola :v
hii
So uh, quick question, is there any point in playing if I don't have VR peripherals, don't have a mic, and can't get any of the text-to-speech methods to work?
Well... Id be hard to communicate or make friends then. Might be easier to just join a community discord (or stay here) and communicate, make friends and play games that way.
No, not really.
You're just some shape walking around with no way to communicate
At that point all yo ucan really do is "people watch" so to speak, so if that's your thing then go ahead. Microphones are cheap these days though
Does anyone want to test the new Courtroom before it goes public?
sounds fun π
You can always just order a microphone online for $5 or so. It's standard kit for any online game.
should prob let the admin know there a crazy high as fuc chrsistian trynna converse people
Aslong as you follow the rules just like everyone else in here there is nothing to warn them about ;p
Are there any popular avatar hubs?
As in worlds that link towards other avatar worlds?
No, just sites that host avatars to download
The best websites to find proper avatars are Deviant art and Bowlroll.
Or any other website that has MMD avatars.
0w0
nop
Is there a new Sdk
Depends when you last updated it. But when your in unity you can have the SDK check if there is a newer version live.
what doing
Hey guys I'm trying to put this custom skin onto my vrchat avatar but it ain't working
Then again I just got the ability to upload my own avatars

report with email and evidence
ELIRE I WILL Spank you
Hi
we spankin elire? π
is it just me or ate the notifications broken again? i dont get any invites, requests or friend requests
good people, I have a problem with my girlfriend's vrchat, it happens that at the moment of starting the game it crashes and the crash log says that it is a problem with nvwgf2umx.dll and that it caused an access violation. Can someone help me with this please?
already try with that, tomorrow I will try opening it from the page, but it is a mistake that when opening the game instant crash
what doing
hey so theres a special properity i cant find on google for an animation im trying to make
i heard theres a way to make say a weapon i summoned stay on the floor or in the air or just leave it from the ground or something
as like a gesture. ive seen people like plant a sword on the ground and it stays there as they walk around
i was wondering hows that done. i already have the weapon i wanna do said action
Any advice people can give me for picking an avatar?
...
Is this a bad place to ask?
i dunno im new here
Same.
my friend dared me to join
I more did out of curiosity. it's pretty okay so far.
https://github.com/oofdesu/lin-unity-packages @vocal shard see "drop bed" in here
Thank you. and its an in joke.
So I will need to be a known user to post models I'm trying to make? Or can I just upload them to my own game's list of avatars?
no a new user
I actually just read through that, so just spend time in game and such?
Yep
woow
hmm
hi
Hey
yikes thats unfortunate
Neeed 1060
My laptop runs it alright at 60fps on Desktop mode
Still, it falters when it's with 10 or so people
im pretty good at 90 in decent worlds
otherwise 60ish in a bad one or one with like 20 people
Atlas your world boys
Use standard shader if must
And bake lights
There are still so many unupdated worlds using Unity 2016, bad performance, and some are still in the Community Spotlight
Hi. I'm looking for someone to rank up my account on vrchat for me. I can pay for the process, want trusted user
Is this......allowed?
I heard people can pay for this sort of stuff
paying money for trusted rank? π
wtf XD just use vrchat like you normally would, make friends and that meaningless rank will be yours
$30 paypal
VRC Social Rank season pass $20
VRChat also happens to have the most expensive DLC
But unlike the other DLCs, this one adds an entirely new experience to the existing game
Physical DLC
lol paying for trusted
Ive had my account since Oct 2017 and uploaded multiple models and just havent played in a few months and it says my account is a "New User" still, that normal?
Ah okay so since I've been gone for a few months it just thinks im new
Oh well as long as its not bugged
Yup, havent earned trust yet, just enjoy the game and ignore the ranks for the most
Ull rank up in no time
Just was weird since I have like a hundred hours
When it came out i had purple, with 100 avatars and 1200 hours
Purple?
But you need significantly less afaik so its fine lul
Oh yeah trusted user, its the highest rank
Yea, visitor is grey, new user is blue, user green, known user orange and trusted purple
Last time I played a lot of this stuff wasnt in the game, its really weird
Cloning avatars is really weird to me lul
and all my friends are offline all the time now, feelsbad
Yea i getchu, i started playing in december '17 and the changes were weird when they were introduced too lul
And yea , most of my og friends are gone too so i know that feeling
Usernames are unique right? its not like discord
Yes
The display name can be changd all 3 months now though
But the login name stays the same
Cool, glad I still have my account cause im the only user with just Cade
A lot of my models seem broken now too
No more 20k poly imit
yup, a lot to catch up on if you haven't been on for half a year or so
Gimme a sec
avatars can have chairs too
Wait like we can go above 20k?
Yah
70k is new limit
AND have chairs?
Yes
What
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/migrating-from-56-to-20174 follow this guide
What do you mean chairs?
By avatar chairs. You can put one on your avatars so that others can sit on you
They used to work back then but were temporarily removed due to.. issues, to say the least
you can have a max of 6 chairs on one avatar if i remember right
avatars also have a rank system now so you can inspect anyones avatar and see how optimised it is
I dunno if I wanna get back into uploading models. I spent so much time doing that rather than playing cause of my anxiety
it displays stuff like amount of dynamic bones , mesh, materials etc
well now you get to upload them again and not play
π
@grand willow your name sounds familiar i think we are friends ingame
Back then i still had my old name, Sings4Hugs
what song is 4 hugs?
That sounds really familiar
haven't heard that one
What kind of models do you use
I didnt talk much in game cause I get really anxious for some reason online, but I danced a lot and spoke through charades
SKull kid was probably my main
I would give talking a try, or atleast maybe with friends first
I swear i have you added
I was scared to talk when i started out too
vrchat is the fist game/app I used a mic in
I talked eventually it just takes a while
Are there any more known people you used to hang out around
Ummmm I was friends with Evanor, Bien, Slyleaf, Skymiu, Rinboh
those are the people I think of the most i guess
They used to be on a lot
π€ those dont ring a bell
