To say it's just avatars is just not true.
the volt is pretty good by default
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D2rph0bWwAIZ34t?format=jpg&name=medium Stolen meme from twitter (under VRC's post about this)
most of the time it is, you cant say the box is laggy
I mean it's a nice map visually, I just happen to lag poorly along with a lot of others on it and I doubt it's a coincidence
some worlds get memory leaks and lag over time
I started lagging so bad in murder once for like no reason
Look at others
Congratz- If they put a cube in the middle so you dont render everything it would be leaps better
Lol 1 of my mute friends was banned for hate speech
render? theres like 5 planes and a toggle mirror
didnt you talk about this a few days ago?
Be careful stealing memes Oclac, the meme police might get you like they got my friend LOL
Hm
Im a badboy š
So the cops can lock me up for it
If you're not rendering the avatars they're not as big of an issue.
IK still does stuff even if you're not rendering the avatars
Remember. Jail is just a Meme Away, A Meme Away, A Meme away.
What
Big cube. Animator component.
im happy and dreading getting full body cause imma have to fix up all my avatars
Did they turn off emotes again: 
-.-
Can't wait to see all the memes about Article 13 in VRChat.
Ofc- An mention happened to chat is fairly disabled š
But time for me fix one annoying clipping problem on my avatar before i get angry and give up on the others~ š
yeah I can't wait to see nothing either
"Fixed issue where tracking could be confused by three children using VR from within a trenchcoat"
"Oi m8 you gots a license for that meme?"
I found that from like the oldest docx by accident, and it makes me sit here like..what
Imma make a "OwO" case with a usb drive, a business card, a pen, a bumper sticker, and much more >.>
OH and many OwO passes for one free "OwO"
" Holy shit Is that an OwO reference?"
shrugs
So, when are we getting that improved IK system? Fullbody users still seem to be struggling a lot with their viewpoint detaching.
Hold on, wouldn't VRChat be exempt from the directive?
This was passed yesterday:
Upload filters must be installed by everyone except those services which fit all three of the following extremely narrow criteria:
* Available to the public for less than 3 years
* Annual turnover below ā¬10 million
* Fewer than 5 million unique monthly visitors
what
VRChat is older than 3 years
No, wait. Nevermind. Misread.
whats that for?
article 13
We arent exempt... are we?
I don't think VRChat will be affected directly, but the surrounding content creators might be
If they do things for profit then yes.
vrchat doesn't make any money so we should be fine
VRChat is hosted in the US
and VRChat is free so they aren't making any money
VRChat is funded by investors though.
@graceful pewter Thats not how it works though--
@floral aspen Doesnt change anything
wait, content creators are in trouble? o.O
Just read up on the law, watch a video and then talk please...
Spreading wrong information wont help
we'll have to see how youtube responds
@delicate perch "If platforms become directly liable for user uploaded content they will arbitrarily remove content based on their terms and conditions. As a result, many creators will see their content get blocked too. And, as less platforms survive the burden of this provision, creators will have less choice on where to share their creations."
What do you mean? VRChat won't be directly affected since it's hosted in the US. Now, if they want to continue providing access to EU players then they will probably have to comply in some form
It's bad and its good for content creators
okay good point @umbral reef just wasn't sure if investor funding constituted turnover
I know things like google news will just pull out of the eu fully or not allow news places that dont work for free with
nah, being in the US doesn't exempt you
Lose the EU market, gain the Quest market š
@full badge Any company, non profit or what else has to follow these rules.
Smaller companies get more leeway but it still applies
Its bad for people who create content and their main bases, is stuff that doesnt belong to them. But for people who do the same thing but its all 100% theirs, will benefit, but, overall I dont support it
@primal oak i guess a its a good thing i dont have anything but one world public atm?
I know just being in the US doesn't exempt you since VRChat is providing a service to EU players.
don't have any public worlds myself
currently it hasn't been incorporated into any national laws, and there's zero legal precedent to go on for potential cases
If you are in the US, EU doesnāt apply to you. You can service people in the EU all you want, you only risk the EU blocking your traffic. They canāt fine you.
can people stop fear mongering? >.>
It depends what your public world has. If it's just cubes and spheres then you're fine. If you're using assets from the unity store who knows
@weary bison We still got a voting round or more non veto round to go
well i make all my own stuff
probably best to continue in #general-media
And ofc the two year minimum waiting period
yeah
Yeah lets move there.
like my OwO Case
I just want the serious, non-meme response recommended avatar specs for quest so I can get started.
yeah that would be good to know as well
considering my fursonas character design simple enough that it could fit on mobile heck I got it to fit legibly on an N64 model
Welp, guess I'm selling my Oculus Go then
@languid beacon same, Iām personally excited for the challenge of making quest ready avatars
yeah but that sounds like a fun challenge
do we know the limitations if any yet for avatars used on quest?
like, only good- or excellent-rated being available or shown
5 polys boiiiis
If it has modded beat saber and working vr chat I'm gunna buy it and I bet a lot of long time vr users, good games with that level of freedom and portability will be great
if we do not know but I'm guessing mobile phone quality
I'll buy it but I sure hope they don't downgrade the PC version.
Shader gurus will have to make mobile friendly avatar shaders
what about unity's mobile shaders?
heeeey
yeah we're probably going to have to use those
Should be more specific. Shaders specifically for the quest chipset
maybe there won't be any custom shaders
My unoptimized fur shader :c
And by 8K materials :c
No custom shaders I think is very likely. Probably just specific approved ones
I can live without dynamic bones and custom shaders
I don't mind the built in shaders
yup. I'm thinking no shaders and no dynamic bones
it'd be a shame to lose xstoon
I cant live without my shader because anime + standard is scary
Honestly my fallback looks better than my custom
basic cubed shader would be enough for Quest
But for real- How with the higher end materials work?
The snapdragon 835 has everything for 4K but nothing above...
Yeah I'm expecting super simple shaders
I have safety on blocking shaders for the vast majority of people and I don't notice until I manually show someone's full avatar
I'd still primarily develop my content for PC, but I think it'd be cool to make a set of mobile avatars and maybe a world for it
I chose my fallbacks to barely look any different
Cubed/ or noe falling back to toon/lit with an inherited ramp texture is good enough
going suck vrchat at fps 15 on quest lol
X doubt
I wanted to say foveated rendering but quest has no eye tracking so I dunno
inb4 quest auto decimates avatars to 500 polys
I mean itās more likely than being low framerate
Hey men
my partner is hopefully gonna get affiliate by friday and to celebrate him and freinds are gonna be drinking then if anyone wants to join them haha
its gonna be random and stupid haha
Should not ping staff unless its an emercengy...
Tuff shit it is an emergency
is it now?
And having questions about the new update isnt an emergency btw-
Being realistic I expect mobile-friendly verified avatars being a thing
Iām aware
are u at the hospital and your last wish is for a hug from tupper?
No
I want a hug from tupper
Lol an emergency
Thatās not an emergency
Yes it is
Yeet nope
if you are dying that definately is an emergancy
Well- Throw it in this chat as big odds we can solve it or confirm you really need a admin/dev
I've never seen anyone tag them and it be an emergency
I'd like to see my first though
Well a (presumed) epileptic attack once
I remember that
Expecting something like excellent status is required, but then a total texture memory limit as well
Oof its only 8Pm
Im planned to play VR but im way to tired for it like always
Lol quest won't be seeing many avatars
Itās nothing yāall can help with
why tupper? hes not even a dev of the game and he aint gonna show up
Otherwise Iād ask yāall
He does show up sometimes but ive literally seen him be pinged a lot today, so I doubt hes checking in
I've always wondered what's considered and emergency
You would be amazed what the community knows at times.. š
Itās not knowledge Iām after
Or what they expect devs to do during one
An emergancy is when you get sneezed on
Besides DC the person
@rigid crescent There server burning, a new exploit, people dying ingame and stuff
If your game doesnt function thats something people here can also fix, if yourehacked, etc, there are things you can do that dont involve tupper
And second like the eye stuff, footstep stuff and ect
So fairly bad ones they dont want on there canny.io
And they are being used
Well yea- They want those on email also ofc
quest be like:
https://imgur.com/FsdrJIw
Im tempted to ping Pill as im sure he would love the meme
It Just Works
Same thing, Iām not looking for help or knowledge
Is someone hurt? All they can do is DC them.
DC?
Disconnect
Tupper isnt a dev
a dev?
Me
no
Gimme email
ron?
Isnt it cubed, ron and system?
Hello@vrchat.com I think
Why are you trying to fight a dev exactly
support@vrchat.com for support, hello@vrchat.com for general stuff
questions and stuff would be support
Good luck
What if I emailed them about how I got sneezed on in vrc and im in distress
oh Noe would you mind forwarding this to pill, pretty please?
https://imgur.com/FsdrJIw

inb4 they show up and give you a ban as a present :c

yeah tweet it at him
^
Its that i dont have a minecraft account anymore else id make one
questtop
I'm loving these
on the way
wait guys I think the blocked avatars avatar has too many polys.. might not work on the quest
gotta get lower poly than that
I think new blocked and loading avatars are gonna be needed eventually
Better keep these ground loading avatars
Makes it feel like im pulling out avatars out the ground
Farming simulator but with people š
I'm really not a fan of translucent blue homer simpson
Me neither it freaks me ou
Its all about the redman š
noe thank u for that u made my day
redman best waifu š
The loading avatar could look nicer yeah. At least have full IK
yeah seems kind of weird they don't let you set a much lower detailed model if yours gets blocked
Well... Not best waifu as it never means good stuff...
My english is so god awefully broken today its annoying me >:l
I really should just sleep
speaking of quest memes:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/457368503259758613/560512602673774594/yup.png
(made by GB a discord friend)
š time to run before the big ban
Thought: what if the current bug that gave the oculus version low resolution was actually intended for quest
I hope not š
oh lordy plz dont let that be true
Making a system so blurry it wont show anything isnt the way to optimize it
Is it safe to assume desktoplow is better performance than vrlow in vr?
I would not call that safe. Also I donāt know the answer.
VRlow has 4x MSAA while Desktop low doesnt
this post explains it pretty well: https://imgur.com/FsdrJIw
@glacial sparrow
No other changes so far i recall
does the MSAA Do much?
It removes jaggies
I could really tell the AA when in desktop low so I wanna change it but im not sure
Just use DesktopLow
Its not like most people notice the difference anyway while running around with 40 fps
MSAA has quite a logarithmic drop in regards to how noticeable it is
Vive pro can skip on msaa
so going form 4 to 8 here isnt really worth it, at least in my opinion
Other headsets pixels are big enough to notice
The main jump from VRhigh to VRlow is shadows settings, Cascade splits and lod bias righto?
The Oculus Quest Countdown is getting roasted atm. "HOW DO WE COUNT DOWN WHEN NO DATE"
When people announce a release season quarter / year I just instantly specify it as the last day of said season/quarter/year
I have lots of āyearā reveals listed as de 31st
Weren't they working on new "blocked" avatars that actually sorta had a face?
thats why i dont block, i just block avatar and see the greyguy
and tend to use X2 saftey when in public worlds being crashing people is the new knuckles >.>
see the only thing they needa fix with the grey dude is to make em act like an actual avatar
cause all I see is barely any arm or hand movement
Really? Grey dude is fine for me but the problem as you describe is seen on the loading blue guy
The loading blue guy scares me
I think they should be standardized
Meaning
@cold talon slight edit to your description

Better make a new world pill where you explain how the quest works for users in VRchat
holy moly
ok nice one buddy
And just yeet a big photo of that on spawn at them
thats wild
That shader is not single sterio pass, pill.
oh broken shders arghhh! my eyesss
āIt just worksā can be taken multiple ways tho
important question: when Quest version appears, do we keep calling desktop users peasants?
Quest just becomes peasants 2.0?
We could go for that i guess
@south viper put it this way, I have a dk2x a rift, and full body set up with vive trackers. I plan to get a quest as well. If you wanna call me a peasant go for it š
vive pro?
Nah, miss me with those vive wands pls
inb4 everyone looks like nikkei in quest version vrc
!online
If I see a vive pro + knuckles Iāll jump on it
There are 6062 users in VRChat currently
As long as vive wands are part of the deal vive pro is a downgrade :S that seems exaggerated and overly harsh but Iām serious I value comfort
I fear vive. I wanr a valve headset or oculus rift
Why do you fear vive...?
their headsets looks scary
I wish I knew
probably the tiny spiders hidden in that giant cheap plastic part at the front
Ow yea the free spiders are a turn off š
Something about it just.. offputs me, my gut tells me its unsafe
It's actually entirely a spider egg
Shhh chroma doing leak these things
HTC RMA is a nightmare they litterally do not care
they do look chunky
3 weeks down a base station still
Thankfully I have a rift so I only lost my legs
why dont you just use rift+trackers
Hopefully valve will release their hmd soon.
I do
cool
Iām down a base station because HTC is fixing it
So I canāt use trackers right now
I want the valve headset sometime
I heard it's 150 fov, which really does it for me because the 110 sucks
btw is it indifferent from using trackers with vive?
i heard there latency or something when you use them with the oculus
Trying to RMA a base station that you ought separately is a nightmare I kept getting passed rep to rep because they didnāt know how to proceed with their script. Without a headset serial number
Shouldn't have latency. It's literally just having the trackers as a separate entity.
There is no latency
Trackers are just as sharp and accurate as the touch controllers
Kinect has the latency
Just feels like touch controllers on your feet basically
Kinect on the other hand had a very obvious half a second delay and it didnāt feel like your own body
@languid beacon if their phone reps can't do it, consider small claims to enforce their warranty terms
They finally sent me a shipping label and have had it for 3 weeks now
I just hope itās not lost in the system due to having no hmd serial
I canāt be the first person to RMA a stand alone base station that was not part of a headset
anyone wanna watch shrek in vrchat
vrchat broken
š¦ š¦ š¦
?
So āit just worksā can mean āhow did you manage to get vrchat working on a questā āit just worksā meaning it was easy
It could also mean āhow well does it runā āit just worksā meaning it meets the minimum definition of running
Hope itās the former lol
wait are you trying to overthink a Todd Howard meme?
Sue me lol
(The Todd Howard meme is that it doesn't work⦠ā¦right?)
Well the way vrpill used it and his hand pose and.black and white was more of the original Steve Jobs motto
one of the popular images replaced Jobs' head with Todd's
gonna have his "Sometimes it doesn't just work." on standby
hm, game's not updating
Uninstall Forces it
Wewie, thank you for the patch dev peoples
restart steam
can we not do an update every two seconds cmon guys i just updated a bunch of stuff yesterday including steam
you literally have to reinstall windows everytime theres an update for vrc on steam
nani lol
Exactly.
I've uhhh, never had to do that š¤
no just restart steam
its satire :>
With some of the people we get here it's hard to tell 
I literally have to go to the doctor's every time there's an update
Speedy fix there VRChat team šŗ
omfg they actually fixed something
yea every 2 seconds my dude its annoying'
itz like there trying to be that way
lol
owo
On the new update are dynamic bones still disabled by default?
yup
Also, I called it yesterday that they are likely doing these changes to make VRchat Quest compatible.
But they've said they'd do this well before the Quest was announced š¤
That's a mixed bag, but essentially most VR titles will now be limited to the capabilities of a smart phone because of the Quest.
but it's an optional limit š¤
Right, but it is still unfortunate if new people know nothing about it. I understand it's a performance hit, but dynamic bones are a big part of what sets VRchat appart from other VR social apps.
agreed
We could all run around bland in Altspace for performance.
A DB-less VRChat is still a significant difference in experience than altspace
I agree with that too.
I mean with how bad some of the avatars I've seen its crazy
Quest could have no DB at all and it would still be a great experience
It's a social app⦠we can communicate to each other and stuff.
I hate that streamers are blamjng VRChat over their poor steps for the lag they get.
well duh
Well definitely I hope they always keep them as an option.
Like sure your obs and the 40 people around you with poor avatars are gonna ruin your shit so quickly
No wonder almost all the VRChat streams I see are laggy
Woah I saw that
i saw this avatar the other day
118227 polys, 2445 dynamic bone collision checks
16 unique materials
@light river that looks pretty fun to run
many streamers use some of the worst performing avatars I have seen ;o
Help merrš
hey my one million poly avatar with eighty eight thousand dynamic bone collision checks is lagging :( vrchat devs why did you do this to me :(
@fluid wagon Please use English in the channels on this server, if you want to speak Russian, there is a #russian text channel.
ooooo getting sassy
Hmm.. people.
lol
@fluid wagon It's why we have language channels for those
Best to stick with it there
lmfao oh u moderatores and the vrc team are so stupid
is possible for turn back on dynamic bone for yourself ?
lol
idk
@dusty shore It's somewhat difficult to debug that issue, I'd recommend you contact VRChat support by following the steps at #vrchat-support
Thank u so Mach for ask me I was so scared
user should have choice
ƶwƶ
Well.. I was gonna.
Thought: PCMRās loud rejection and detraction of non-PC vr can kill vr by discouraging non-pc owners from trying it
id wait until they explain it to buy it though
And if you care about visuals the quest is a biggg let down
Yeah Iām gonna need video confirmation of vrchat running smoothly but so long as I get that Quest is instant purchase
Res almost on par with pro; and less screen door than cv1 is a let down not sure where you are getting that info oclac
@polar bone Nothing is ever an insta buy. Wait to see proof and some form of feedback before buying into a bold claim like VRC on Quest.
There's going to be some form of major compromise no matter what.
Of course I'm not saying I'm gonna buy it day one
But if it works then yeah I'm buying it
Highly doubtful though, my computer can barely run the game
I'm sure the devs have gone over all this stuff internally, but I honestly can't for the life of me imagine how this is going to work.
and folks probably aren't going to like how it's going to work
Still though I'm likely going buy a quest because of beat saber
This discord already rips enough on laptop users with better specs than the Quest.
Inb4 you can only use the public avatars that Vrchat comes with
Wii style Mii's only. :v
heh
4 gigs of ram
Inb4 Nikkei can only be the costumizable avatar
No dy-bones, no real time lighting, no shaders. Dev maps only.
with potentially curated map is how I would guess it goes
@vocal shard 2.45Ghz cpu š
inb4 quest is separated from main servers and somehow people still crash
Even 32k avatars seem too steep for quest, though
"Ok, dropping the portal..." --> "Wait guys! I can't go there!"
Again x doubt
Hehehehe
10K or under probably
Hey let you use community labs worlds they just drop a warning
At best, I would assume that Quest would just have the popular worlds, Community Labs worlds, and VRChat Team worlds
Thatās ... all of them
At best we would get a blog post making things clear š
anyway I'm kinda baffled that they don't allow the quest to tether to a computer
If they did that it would be a rift s killer
would have added to the cost
Well. There's a good side to it though. I don't think that people will be able to use any malicious dll with the quest
But who knows
Chairs are broken as soon they fixed after the latest update
Someone's still gonna make a crasher
i love this game xD
@warped urchin how is it gonna work I'm still waiting
John carmack wants Quest to teather but said no promises
Tbh- The quest would be insanely good for schools...
But with the content gating it wont be used
Rift cat might be able to do something with streaming over WiFi or usb
What is dumb as they lock themselves out of a big market
Or they might bring out a company version
128 gb of internal memory, is it enough for vrchat cache though?
Knowing how mobile platforms usually go, they'll probably be marketing a Quest+ within a year of release, which features the obviously desired stuff the original was missing.
Hehehe
Wireless tethering is an inevability
Officially supported wireless teathering is the question
I'd imagine there will be a new version released using the Snapdragon 845 further down the road, to allow for wireless tether.
If they allowed it t would kill rift S
I expected rift S / quest feature parity but quest has higher resolution
Dunno why
The product line up just seems kind of off to me. Could very nearly be a perfect market dominating product range, but I guess time constraints contested against that.
If the Quest had the simple ability to tether, and if the Rift-S was a genuine all round upgrade (whether more expensive or not) it would have secured both ends of the market almost flawlessly.
Well you see Oculus has a lot of stuff planned ahead and with the recurring issues of the rift and everything they decided that their best bet is to release the quest and improve upon the Rift just for now so people can hold off until the 2nd generation of vr is released
Hence the Oculus S was born just as a stand by oculus rift 1.5
They are also currently in the process of flushing out the rift in general from the market and everything
I think inside out tracking is the future esp for body trackers
I donāt the rift s for being no physical IPD
Inside out for body tracking hmm?
Yeah but that would be so much more expensive
Future touch controllers will probably use camera too
Cameras and leds?
Yes same as quest
You do know the stuff that is coming with the oculus 2 right?
I donāt because that is rumors
Well it's not rumors if it was announced by oculus themselves
Well then I I didnāt know that
Oculus 2 was cancelled and became the Rift-S, unless you've heard far more recent news.
I donāt think Rift 2 was cancelled I think it never existed
Well Rift-2 originally had various functioning prototypes, Caspar and Halfdome, etc.
Which means it wasnāt cancelled
But those were all shelved for Rift-S when they changed management and took Iribe off the project.
A decent update
The tech isnāt going to be shelved
With the way that vr is going in life they wanted to push out the oculus 2 as soon as they could but as time has shown they were adding so much that it would need another year or 2 to fix it all up so to help calm people down and let them see that oculus is still in production they released the S to help people with all their rift issues
They showed off multi depth focus based on eye gaze
They donāt develop that stuff with no plan to use it eventually
Eventually sure. But it was originally intended for the immediate successor to the Rift.
They said that the Quest was suppose to mark the end of the 1st generation of VR
Maybe game focused VR
S is the industry standard for ābetter, but if you upgrade now you are a chumpā
But vive is already going to next gen for companies with the eye trcking
I'm sure the tech will be back eventually, but they made it fairly clear that the company was shifting it's strategy away from the high end market.
@languid beacon 'The S stands for, your a sucker for getting it'
Only if you upgrade to it
The S isn't even that bad
Its a downgrade-
Seriously though, what would the 'S' in Rift S mean, aside from 'Sucker'?
'Special'? 'Spatial'?
It's just meant for the people who have had the rift for so long and want a change
Iām not specifically talking about oculus rift s just S models as a term
Its cheaper to build, costs more, loads of downgrades and blocking out 30% of the humans from playing and making it hard for everyone else to get less sick aint neat
You can't say the pro isn't really an upgrade either considering it costed 800 to 900 on it's own
Nothing. It doesnāt stand for anything. Itās just a commonly used letter understood to be an upgrade but not a successor.
And it doesn't cost more it only costs 400 dollars and still comes with the controllers and other things
True.. all the Vive Pro did did was bump up screen and image quality
A change to what though? The only upside it has is a marginally clearer display. It's not even a true resolution upgrade due to rendering at the same scale as the Rift.
And Oled -> LCD now
A change to tracking issues and controller issues
The tracking is just worse from a technical standpoint
It may be easier and cleaner to use but its worse.
PS4 probis an s model. Vive pro is an s model. New 3DS, etc
Dont try to play a fast beadsaber level as the odds are the tracking will be unable to keep up perfectly.
Or well- Worse the currently.
Have you used it Oclac? How can say it's gonna be worse or better without trying it yourself?
I take it you use 3 cameras
You can wait for it to actually come out before trying to state how bad it is
I havent but i know how the tech works and i work with people who have used it and are even more tech geeks then me
Its not a bad headset-
But the normal oculus is just better
So its not an upgrade as people claimed-
Its a downgrade with compromises.
Implying oculus even used OLED correctly. With spud it might as well be lcd anyway
Also this fits more in #general-media
It's not like it matters really this chat is usually dead
@languid beacon Well there OLED was horrible set up- The current LCD is almost the same, its minimal worse but its still worse š¤·
Vive-Pro is it's own weird thing. Not so much a S model as it is something for people who see little difference between $500 and $1200.
The S either way it might be is just for now a fill in for the Rift until the upcoming Oculus 2 comes out
Like- If they kept selling the normal oculus id complain less about the S
But right now its just being scummy from them and its unfair towards consumers.
Mainly with people not understanding how big parts of the tech work
One of those 10% better for 240% more expense, kind of deals, for the kind of person who already owns a 2080ti.
One thing i gotta say
There roomtracking is insanely dope
That is lewd dreaming content man
Oh jesus
I'm just gonna wait for the Rift 2 but still gonna get the quest while it stands
But saying the S is a upgrade for what it really brings compared to the current model is like saying the new samsung phone extreme punchhole is better then the notches or even having it be totally gone...
Saying the XR or XS is an upgrade even tho they made the size bigger, you can say that for a lot of things
Anyone else having problems? I keep trying to join friends but it puts me to a empty world
Restart
I'd say that at best the Rift-S is a side-grade. For existing Rift owners it's mainly a downgrade, unless they never got their 3rd sensor. For new owners it's a case of, "It'll have to do for now."
Update
I promise you most rift s owners wonāt care, tho I donāt see S selling well and I expect them to see quest sell better and focus on that in the future
@vocal shard Be sure your game is up to date
Weird
Tech companies now a days are just tryna do what they can to keep people hooked as the years go by while waiting for that one big upgrade
Tbh- I see the quest selling better then the S and maybe the oculus 2 selling properly again
Hi
Again, if the Quest just had optional PC tether, the Rift-S would be entirely irrelevant. It's just such a weird stop-gap product.
Having your devs leave isnt a smart buisness tactic...
The rub is with the discontinuation of rift classic there is no longer a vr headset I can recommend to people
They worked with others on the S for a reason...
What is funny tbh that they did that..
I donāt recommend vive due to vive wands
I donāt recommend wmr
And I donāt recommend rift s
For me, it's going to be a wait to see what Valve brings to the table. And beyond that, see if HTC or another third party has anything else to offer before a genuine Rift-2 turns up.
I thought they mostly just made the Oculus s to consolidate their production line
Valve will get done in about 13 years, don't worry.
Although any Oculus product is likely going to need it's own viable FBT method to be considered by me.
Right now in terms of pc vr we have entered the āits best to waitā period which is scary becasue it stalls the industry
@graceful pewter Well yea- The S is easier to make and cheaper to mass produce
And I know what you mean Adeon, regarding what to recommend.
I'd still be fine recommending the Vive personally, all spare for the fact that it just seems too late into it's lifespan to do so.
If any product needed a "S" version, it was the Vive really. And it should be the Pro, but without the over inflated price tag.
Really wonder what vive is going to do with there upcomming stuff
The teasers where so bad and confusing so :x
Inb4 it's a Quest competitor
A modest resolution upgrade to kill the screen door effect, and the "deluxe" integrated audio as standard, is really all it needs to remain good enough and relevant until eye tracking arrives.
I'm jinxing it bois
Vive Cosmos is literally a quest competitor. I predict a steam machine in a headset
PCMR will hate it too
Cosmos has the interesting aspect that it's potentially an upgradable Quest, to a certain degree. In that new phones will gradually surpass the Quest in computing.
But it also sounds like a far far more awkward setup, and I doubt enough have beefy enough phones for that to really come into relevance until beyond it's lifespan.
Forgot about the cosmos. It has a flip up faceplate doesn't it? Seems good for devs.
Also, will be lacking the ruthlessly curated library Quest will have.
So will probably remain more of a PCVR/Phone hybrid.
I wouldnāt call it ruthless. Compared to steam today, oculus is just steam before they stopped caring
I feel like Cosmos success will depend on the price quite a bit. Competing on that $400 mark will be tough.
Oculus store still has its share of shovelware
No, I mean how the Quest library is it's own separate thing.
Itās crossbuy with rift
They've declared strict performance gating for submissions.
Oh yes
Only in one direction though.
Maybe I should check.
But if itās available on both I think you get both regardless of which you buy
But I mean, logically it's got to be right? Or else that "strict performance gating" would also be enforced upon the Rift.
If it can run any Rift title, then there's no point curating it and anyone can publish to it regardless.
Itās the Apple model, you own it and if it can run you can run it
but the games themselves have to support the hardware
And the store only shows results for stuff comparable with your device
Unless perhaps the submission standards are purely to earn the right to be featured on the Quest specific portion of the store.
Well it's obviously required for stuff like this. No other way round it.
āI want to buy a game. I know there is something out there I would really like, I just canāt find it.ā
I don't buy unrated games on a whim, so the supposed Steam shovel ware crisis never bothered me in the slightest.
I have no confidence buying steam games. Many look great but I donāt buy them because I know more often than not the game isnāt good
Also honestly never saw them, but then I don't usually just go around browsing.
I typically know a game exists, has been favourably received, and go to it directly by name.
Nah I search for stuff. Iāve found lots of hidden gems
My main method for discovering games is probably youtube and word of mouth.
And thatās a problem, hidden gems shouldnāt exist. Hidden gems are a tragedy.
Too much noise
So Iām fine with content gating. Require effort
hola
Now I would like to run unknown sources like the rift

Hey um
VRChat getting on the oculus quest, how the fuck
whenever i join friends or a server i dont see anyone at all
How do i do that
close the game and update?
Restart steam while your outside the game
I think a dullahan avatar would be interesting to see
like with the ability to have the head to come off that be cool
Is anyone having audio issues with the new update
Am I the only person who wants 2 animate themselves and make it an avatar? š
I heard it's possible, but I dunno what the tool to use would be for.
Kinect can capture yourself in 3D but good luck triangulating that
Hmm yeah I have know idea hadn't thot that far. Only considered the initial hard copies like front back left right up down profiles.
Very hype for quest, really need the details though.
It's gonna b a min b4 I get to do any of that š©
Iād like to make mobile friendly avatars in preparation but I need the suggested specs for them
Once upon a time I coulda maybe picked this stuff up. Long gone from my mind now. It's all make-up,fitness, and dancing up there now lol
Easier to install blender to pop open a learn how to 3D model tutorial. There is a learning curve but anyone who actually wants to learn wonāt have an issue. Turns into a very fun hobby.
Yea I'd really like to. I've got more creativity then I know what to do with. Just struggle to follow throu on count my brain lol. So I honestly struggle to find pce in anything I do anymore nevermind enjoying things. Still try tho jus keep on keepin on. Glad there's peeps like u in the world. Keep it spinnin doll š
I apologize that seemed like a buzz kill my bad I tend to ramble. I'm a Gemini lol š
so what is the likelihood of vrchat working properly on the oculus quest
Given that they announced it, likely
I really donāt think they would bother if it were just a trash fire
I mean yeah, and I really hope it works out
because I was already sold on Quest but wasn't sure because I was 200% sure vrchat would not release on it
Guess I was 200% wrong lol
I mean I would recommend waiting to see the details before buying a quest especially if thatās the only reason youāre going to get one
oh yeah for sure, wait until reviews are out no doubt
I donāt doubt that VR chat will run properly on the quest I really donāt. But the details and why it runs good maybe what breaks the deal for some people
but no it's not the only reason, I just really need something I can take with me places. I can't bring my desktop to friend's houses, atleast not without wanting to tear my hair out
default avatars , selected worlds etc etc
I hope it's not that limited
Honestly I'd be fine with private-only worlds with a couple friends. I think that's achievable
It wonāt be VR chat without custom avatars they definitely wonāt remove custom avatars
if they focus on the Chat part , it might be
Do you hear me VRpill and tupper? You didnāt remove them.
cough base model that you can customise cough with adding selected clothes cough
I hope they do a trailer or blog post about it soon
OI
no u
My guess though is that there wonāt be anything particularly limiting on the oculus quest version, I will just have a multitude of performance settings to limit features, max rendered avatars, showing only the closest ones within your limit, etc.
At least thatās my most hopeful scenario
I can make mobile friendly avatars and worlds. I just want all of the features to be available if I optimize everything else
And I really want a polygon ballpark to aim for. Is excellent enough?
i have a question! I tried some of the public dragonball avatars but they all dont work with fullbody tracking?D: i mean they look broke af.... is there another good world i could go to?
Yeah for now there is currently a bug with full body tracking avatars need a special fix (more accurately a workaround) for them to work properly, but this must be done by the person who uploaded it, it wonāt be needed in the future but no one knows when Iāll get around to patching it
So any avatar made by someone who didnāt apply to work around wonāt work
so there is no other world with dragonball avatars besides that big one?
Anyone tell me how long I have to wait before I can upload avatars from unity?
@silk agate It's impossible to tell how long you need to rank up from Visitor to New User because the ranking system is completely non-transparent. Here's a list of things most people believe makes ranking up faster:
-Frequently visiting other worlds with people
-Making friends and hanging out with them
-Not getting reported
-Not getting blocked
-Not getting votekicked
From my personal experience it took me about 6 hours of gameplay to rank up from Visitor to New User, someone was willing to give me a headstart and be my friend to help me learn VRChat faster and we did the things listed above. And another thing, you need a VRChat account. Steam accounts rank up extremely slowly and cap at User rank and Oculus accounts cannot rank up at all.
many people create world - i am have 2 public
Nice, I was just trying to understand if I get a scanner such as Structure Sensor and 3D scan my room, could I then import that into a VRChat world? Using Unity? or some other method. I'm new to this so I apologize if I'm asking stupid questions.
STL/OBJ?
yes obj is recognised file format for unity
Ok maybe I should download Unity to get familiar with it. How much work is it to import and make it usable for VRChat?
Are we talking like a few hours or a day?
for example, csgo map .obj import for unity - 5 minutes
tops
fully working and perfect. a long time
Hey, why can't I see any of my friends in rooms? I'll join them and I'll be in the same room, but it just says I'm the only one there, please pm me
soooo, i went to the pug pub thing and a door was open and there was a portal with ??? 's
You need to be on the same version Odin. One of you did not restart to update
is there somewhere i can put crash logs
im pretty sure i just got crashed by someone
report it to moderation@vrchat.com
idk if someone crashed me or if it was just vrchat itself though
i have the logs tho
should i just send the log to the email?
be as descriptive as possible, let them know if there was anyone you thought it could've been
I have a vrc account already. Should I just friend randoms so I can get to new user?
All this work for just being able to upload avatars....there ought to be a better system than this
i think you need known user for upload avatar
New user lets you upload
rly, wow

I'm sure i had wait for known user for upload
@silk agate just play for a bit. Basically you want the game to realize that you will be active on the account. So going around, visiting world's, friending, talking, all works towards it. You can get it quite quickly. One of my alts got upload permissions in 4 hours by just hanging out in public worlds
@vocal shard well thatās what Iāve been doing so far
So I guess getting the new user status is based on how many hours I play for?
Overall
Just keep at it. It can vary from a few hours to 20+ hours. It's different for everyone. It's not hour based. Activity based
Yo
Is there any discussion or more info about VRC on the Quest?
Cool, okay.
I'm concerned how well the quest will handle VRC
I was considering skipping the Quest if VRC wasn't going to be on it but now.....
Yeah, same
Yeah when I heard this. I was hella excited
Yea. Otherwise I'd go straight for the S. But I already have a Rift and would really like something wireless.
Ill probably stick with building a gaming pc then buying the rift. Quest looks to good to be true
Hmmm maybe
Guess we have to wait and see untill spring. Hope it works
Yep
I think Quest is amazing. But if you want a PC headset, I would wait. You're exactly between generations right now, and arguably the current best one (Oculus Rift) has been discontinued, and it's replacement, Rift S, isn't out. Vive is due for a replacement too.
I have Quest and it's working
x doubt
Kings Quest (1984) š
š
love this game
šŖā¬
lol
I bought an Arcade1up and modded it with MAME just to play these old games
just got about 30 years younger
Thoughts about VRchat on Oculus quest?
Will there be another server dedicated for it?
Hmmm
Doubt that Quest can handle VRchat perfectly. ;--;
Yeah, I'm curious how it'll be done
Why can't they just made another version of rift but wireless ;--; instead of Quest
Well, Rift relies on your PC to do most things whereas a wireless headset has to do all that in the headset.
They're still a company focused on making money. So for them, the best choice is to try reaching as large of an audience as possible. The quest does that. A new wireless rift would be an even smaller niche on the already small VR consumer market
Yeah true.
Eitherway the quest should run perfectly fine as a standalone headset
If it was the case of the Oculus Go that would in no way be able to handle vrchat but the quest should be just fine
this update is unstable
the quest is still really far behind what even a entry level gaming pc can do King
What can moderation team do if someone is harassing me both in game and on discord?
Just had someone who didn't like my idea on the canny proceed to jump into my discord DM's and harass.
š¤
Already have screenshots of discord DM's if it helps.
just block them lol
You can change your DMs
I would, but this is his third alt account.
Discord is a browser. Open the console and you can mess with everything
he wouldn't be able to slide in your dms if you didnt have him added
He joins in my discord pretending to be someone else, and then abuses DM's from there.
Already banned him twice. I don't think it works.
But this sort of harassment seems more like trolling instead of him actually being upset about my Canny post at this point.
Make it so that Discord accounts have to be a week old to join or something?
There are similar discord features
I'm just going to file a report to discord's trust and safety at this point. There is not much left to try.
But thank you for the advice.
Quest could have been so much more
With PC connectivity
Out of curiosity what was the idea anyway @small wing
Rewarding users for community lab reports.
I bet they're only allowing good avatars for quest
good or excellent specifically
They'll probably implement a world performance rating too
is the menu being oversensitive or is it just me?
:3 til the avatar scan actually works only having good/excellent on quest isn't possible
people will circumvent it just to fuck with people's quests lol
assuming that's what they actually end up doing of course
so why is my boyfriend's mic suddenly super laggy since the update before this one?
like it wasnt a problem till that last update
.What?
I dont get how the bot took that as a spam
Yes
Probably the multiple dashes
That happens
But if it's saying you need more time, it's just telling you to play vrchat some more
Same goes for all accounts created in the VRChat website
It's like a rite of passage of sorts
Wait wdym by it being a rite of passage
Like it or not, Quest has the best chance of making VR go mainstream. That's what we all want, that means more games for PC vr users too. We need VR to grow, that means getting casuals and non-PC owners in on it too.
not all of them will like vrchat anyway. as long as VR becomes normal, the industry will grow
then game companies can stopconsidering 100% VR games to be "risky"
i mean, we'll get optimized, ez to run games too from it if people like it
so thats cool
i guess
don't hurt your head from all that cynisim
AAA devs won't make a VR game. Demographic is too small.
VR becomes big, they change their mind
here we go, now someone will have to define "AAA dev", and it will conveniently be defined to make the point true
Or how about I just admit I'm 100% wrong because I'm bored of the conversation
the edge. i luv it
I want littlebigplanet on vr
If we get littlebigplanet for pc vr ill never be sad again
Media molecule is is budy budy with sony, aren't they? Their titles rarely get on PC
Mm is kind of like sonys slave
yea thats what i was thinking, it would be dope if little big planet in any form could be on pc
They didnt wanna make a lbp2 but sony harrassedd them into it because the market was too good..they didnt wanna makr a lbp3 so sony was like well fine if u wont someone else will, and got sumo digital to do it
I would doubt on it, LBP is a first-party title.
I didn't even know LBP3 wasn't made by MM
Id be happy but I get it likely never happen
I didn't even know Sony was in charge of the IP
Yeah media molecule had no input in lbp3, thus why it was a flop
Theyre working on dreams for ps vr right now
It was instead Sumo Digital
Who names their company sumo digital seriously xD
Nothing against PSVR, it looks like a great setup, I've just never been a big console guy. never had any version of playstation/xbox
Guess im worse, mine is ashixoss
And yeah, I like ps3 a lot, but I wouldnt really get vr for it because I dont play many games
I did try the one little big planet they had for PSP, was nice
Im a softcore gamer at best
too hard to make stuff on it though
@languid beacon You mean the PSVita?
It was on the psp too
Huh, I see.
Just the psp wasnt doing well
had feature parity with the first game could even load levels made as long as they didn't have DLC
My dad had the vita but hated it becausw he said there was like noo game or market for it
I am considering Nintendo LaboVR just for the heck of it, see how it compares
Umm, are we still in the context of VRChat? Random chat's just a small click away.
Oops
we're chatting about VR
LOL
Alright, my bad
elire has spoken takes a knee
thats great
isnt that what it is tho
Yes aand no
i love to play virtual reality chat
they're not technically wrong
search your heart you know it to be true
reality chat, the virtual kind
hey, where can i post bugs?
I also say this here since idk where to put it
they broke chairs on avatars, nice one devs, once again breakin stuff that should be unrelated to what was changed
There's already a canny. https://vrchat.canny.io/bug-reports/p/stations-on-avatars-broken
I made a nice friend through VRChat c;
well here's hoping the game runs better tomorrow...I don't have the energy to piss with it tonight.
It should. The new limiter should enable less trouble
Basically, with the safety settings + limiter. It should feel fine now
why DO people try to smash eachother in vrchat
anyone having problem where having problem where people see you in one place when your actually around walked away from that place?
Anyone having a issue where say people's avatar will randomly disappear..
Like all you can see is the username?
Ok can vrc seriously fix something for once and not break everythinjg else
Well your cute pfp aint broken
@hallow vine you ever heard of the ERP community?
Sounds kinda gay ngl
Yeah, people smash each other in that.......
Better be with a hammer swear ta god
I need to observe their activity once to properly grasp it. But in general, I condemn it
It's with their hammer.
S t o p
It's so weird seeing completely random people have similar friends with you on discord like scruffy has a similar friend with me
Only one!
Yo, can anyone tell me what happened to so e of the vrchat maps, seems like they just vanished
Hi everyone, where can I report other players?
There should be a report button built in
Not sure but I only see 4 buttons, "Friend" "Mute" "Block" and "Vote to Kick"
Should be on the right
Nvm that player is gone, thank you !
not all users get the report button
it's unlocked with the trust system for whatever reason
@safe prism its to prevent people from making alts to abuse it
I am going to bet that Oculus quest vrchat instances will be different
tbh. i'm gald VRChat is coming to Oculus Quest
but now i'm wondering on how the worlds/avatars will run on the mobile chipset
why are you glad, may I ask?
because i don't have a powerful PC to run VR
all i got is a PC with the AMD Radeon RX 200 series GPU
Vrpill actually explained how it will work
link?
^
that's not what i'm looking for
I mean I think thatās how it works
Thats the only news we have and will get though
But with how badly the quests specs are im almost sure its just going to be its fully own client in its own safe space
1 dynamic bone gona frazzle it
There are just so many problematic systems and processes being used that i dont see it being the same client/game even.
on avatar changing from favorite list
the blue man load's infinitely
and the only fix for that is to go to another world and back
then repeat avatar changing
and problem is fixed
which kind'a sucks
because there is no other simpler fix for that
š¦
And then the fact facebook/oculus would go insane if they learned about the things users can show on a quest within Vrchat...
They dont want games with girls in bikini's even...
Uh someone in the great pug is abusing the bucket and jostling everyone all over the place. We cant seem to find the person and arent really sure what to do. Kinda wish that bucket didnt have colliders.
but how else will people break into the kitchen
Looking at the event tab are there any event plans for Europe time zones? They all for most seems to be at way passed 1am for me in Uk.
@neon vine not trying to get you to call them out but what letter does their name start with?
Most events are using US time sadly
i think its my friend lol
Try using a time translator
@rigid crescent I couldnt find the person
@cinder viper
Its no worries though they arent doing it anymore
Though some events have UK times mentioned
Think the world dev meetups are now sooner so it aināt like at midnight for UK

@cinder viper there are a few eu focused events. But it's way less then compared to others
Cheers I want to try and get to some
So I have this really neat idea of a avatar, but like, I dunno how to make one so it's big rip
Look up vids on YouTube on how to make one
Yeah I coooouuullld, but I'm worried like, that's it is going to be shit quality
This idea is pretty great
Well uāll never know till u try
True true
not sure what the dev team did but playing at VRHigh settings is giving me better performance then DesktopLow O_O
@quartz osprey ty for the info ima use that tonight xD
Ive been scoring 30fps in vr
But it looks really smooth to me so its all good
desktoplow giving me 15-20 vrhigh 25-45
Try the middle one and see how it compares if you can
vrlow crashes oculus dash lol
Oh ok xD
I run wmr so I wonder if the vrhigh will be the same for me
I dun wanna use vrhigh and die to 10 fps
I made my boyfriend ride rollercoasters in vr yesterdsy and he died
But I loved it so much.. it was my second day, had nausia yesterday, and today yolod it
Worth it.. but I was screaming becausee it felt like my bed was upside down
But he died qnd we were in call and he was suffeting
isn't it great? you get sick in vr when you ride stuff
I didnt get sick
I was in VR, I loved it, so much fun
I only get sick when I nonstop spin around or I turn perfectly around a corner, then its like woah there
I get sick xD
Imagine having working voice prioritization in a social game
I mean itās not impossible that it just will barely run at all and they are just existing on the platform with no effort to actually make it run well... I hope thatās not the case though. But I have seen games get ported to systems where it should never have been ported
It seems like there isnt that... because its so hard to hear now
I will say Iām not 100% convinced pill is being candid :X
Bethesda memes to little to reassure lol
@languid beacon im 99% sure it wont be connected with the other VRC players
Oculus has stated they dont even want games where bikini's get shown...
And the fact loads of things like materials and ect would not be able to show on the snapdragon 835...
I just hope huge deal breakers like that get explained before Quests are purchasable
Doubt it knowing facebook
I mean no materials I donāt care about. If I canāt use a quest to hang out with friends on the pc version itās a little pointless
And even if it gets explained. Its not there problem when people dont read these things.
People are just going to be really dissapointed when they go play games like Roborecall on the quest and learn it looks like nintendo DS game
If I have desktop friends on my server excited about quest becasue they have no gaming pc and feel like Quest might finally let them in vrc with a headset, only to not be able to hang with us, itās bad
Its just not how the tech works
And why im fairly salty they havent released a blogpost about it yet
If they have to wall it off they shouldnāt bother at all
Unless they are getting money for it
Then I get it
https://i.redd.it/75wo9k4f8po21.jpg Is all il say
Ive always wanted ps2 VR
Only for 500 euro for where i live!
!online
There are 6594 users in VRChat currently
See Graphics downgrade doesnāt bother me
If thatās all that happened to vrchat I wouldnāt care
Iād be eastatic to have it portable and able to see whatās going on even if itās at a lower graphic setting m, I just donāt want to be garden walled off from my friends
Yeah I agree @languid beacon that's the whole point of vrchat is that you're connected to everyone from vr to desktop tuo different interests, countries, etc.
