[vocal shard]

ok

[covert linden]

All of you here who got forced off, i'd like you to do a test for me. Go to google, and search up some sites. Are you receiving tons of bot scan captchas? @hallow trout @vocal shard

[vocal shard]

Yes rae idk whyy

[hallow trout]

what websites are most common to do this

[tidal onyx]

IP banned by cloudflare

[covert linden]

You have been flagged by ip cloudflare, because as I Said the game isnt 100% safe.

@hallow trout Any websites, load the vrc website, itll be when you enter not log in

[hallow trout]

nope loaded fine for me

no messages at all

[vocal shard]

!online

[floral flax]

There are 5336 users in VRChat currently

[proper thunder]

🤔

[hallow trout]

its mainly the ones who had been on the game when they went down

[sweet hollow]

any body wana talk me very lonley

[viral pumice]

@sweet hollow hi there. There’s people in random chat.

[sweet hollow]

i ment like call

[viral pumice]

Ah

[vocal shard]

ohh,im too shy

[tidal onyx]

not home and my english is trashy

[vocal shard]

@sweet hollow like a call or a video call

[fallow field]

How goes it? Is everyone still mad at this or what?

[brisk cave]

of course people are

[fallow field]

Welp I was about to be sarcastic about how active it is here, nvm

[merry minnow]

it looks like my ip disappeared off of cloudflares blacklist and everything is working normally for me now

[fallow field]

What? How does that even happen? Today has been weird -_-

[heavy dawn]

Timeouts. The whole getting blacklisted thing was because the VRC client hits the endpoint rapidly without timing out I think.

So if you go long enough without hammering their servers, you're good. Hopefully.

[vocal shard]

oh okay

[fallow field]

I hope so, this has been very annoying

[plain moss]

Oh so is the game just kinda broken right now or something?

[heavy dawn]

🤣 Oh... I wonder if it was an automated DDOS protection?

[velvet quarry]

Basically, some ongoing server issues at the moment, would recommend just waiting it out until there has been official word.

[crude cradle]

@plain moss To be fair, it always been broken xdddd

[plain moss]

Well TRUE, but... uh yeah true. :')

Ah okay I thought it was my connection being bad

[fallow field]

They fix one thing and break another, but I doubt this stuff is easy to do, so I won’t be mad at them

[heavy dawn]

I was able to get on with desktop last night but yeah... people who are unable to log in who stay at the login screen apparently got banned by cloudflare.

[merry minnow]

if vrchat could display captcha, then you could still get in with a flagged ip. but since it cannot, you are effectively locked out of the game from that ip address untill dropped off of the blacklist

[north axle]

Quick question to Oculus users: how do you type?

Do you use a SteamVR keyboard or something else?

[ruby needle]

With oculus home there is no SteamVR keyboard, so...

I just use my keyboard when i need to type something

[north axle]

Wait, then how do you type in VR?

[ruby needle]

got to my desk and type on the keyboard

[lost agate]

there is a keyboard button on the desktop viewer next to the pin button

[ruby needle]

i belive the oculus desktop thingy can have a keyboard

[still lark]

Oculus Dash has a keyboard

[ruby needle]

Not available on W7 unfortunately

[lost agate]

bottom right of any window

[north axle]

Another question: on a scale of 1 to 10, how are you satisfied with your VR keyboard?

[vocal shard]

-9

[nimble linden]

Are we talking about Vrchat's keyboard? Or in general? The Vrchat keyboard is pretty bad, not going to lie

[crude cradle]

The crouching motion is funny looking tho xD

[nimble linden]

Oculus dash keyboard is pretty great. Just wish there was a numpad.

[elder belfry]

ayee

[cold ibex]

I just use my keyboard o:

[nimble linden]

you can type on it with your index finger by touching it too. Which is cool but not too practical

Something that's neat about Oculus Dash in general is that the desktop windows can be touched like a touch screen. And it uses windows' built in touch features when doing so. It's like having a virtual windows tablet.

[vocal shard]

Out of curiousity, is vrchat still cpu based?

[velvet quarry]

Some portions of the game is frequently CPU bottlenecked yes.

[vocal shard]

Is that just due to how unity works in general, or is that an issue on the game's side?

[velvet quarry]

a bit of A, a bit of B

[solar topaz]

Up and running again here!

[crude cradle]

@chilly quail Vrc be forcing ppl to socialize hahaha

[chilly quail]

Smh vrchat thinking I'm not social eh 😤

[vocal shard]

This also affects logging into VRchat SDK on Unity? Having problems there aswell.

[rigid crescent]

Yep

[vocal shard]

hello other humans, i just grabbed a crown in the vrchat hub and now i can't put it down, help?

[north axle]

Try going through a portal, see if it's still stuck to your hand in another world.

[velvet quarry]

That certainly would be impressive

[vital rune]

is the issue fixed or smth

[velvet quarry]

I have not heard any new word from the team as of yet

[vital rune]

there's a sudden spike in the online playerbase but I'm not risking entering it incase that I'm still blacklisted

[hard fiber]

@velvet quarry it's the end of the world. Goodbye i'm going to my shelter now

[umbral reef]

Be sure to bring enough candy!

[velvet quarry]

Be sure- god damnit

[hard fiber]

Im bringing my damn Vr headset down. No food or drinks just my VR kit. I'll stay on VR till i starve

[merry nymph]

You could just get an IV drip of everything you need @hard fiber

[hard fiber]

Nah I'll just take a gun and one bullet with me

[novel valve]

If anyone wants to come upstairs in the great pug #1 I'll be ready with a few questions and a chill therapy sesion.

[merry nymph]

IV drip = permanent vr

I can’t reveal all my secrets at once. World may be ending but we can talk for a few minutes before I dole out the goods. I ain’t easy

[mortal walrus]

Come check out out singing competition in #events

[small wing]

Really hoping VRChat fixes the issues with cloudflare soon and issues a removal of blacklisted IP's.

I can't access other services on top of VRChat because of this.

If anyone has any advice on how to switch out my IP without having to call my ISP (if that is even possible) Let me know.

[covert linden]

@small wing Youre still having cloudflare issues?

[small wing]

Yeah.

[covert linden]

Good to know, Aev was trying to see if anyone still had them. Hold on tight, as for people theyve been going away in 6-24 hours

[dawn mortar]

Restart the modem and hope you get a new IP from your ISP

[small wing]

Will give that a shot.

[dawn mortar]

if not, you have to call your ISP and ask for a new lease of IP

[glacial robin]

my guess its slowly starting to fix its self ive had the problem all day and its working fine now

[vocal shard]

Well the player count has increased a lot so I would guess they have solved some issues

It's back for some people

[covert linden]

Personally i'd wait, but there hasnt been any reported blacklists recently (As far as im aware) so you should be good

[dawn mortar]

i would recommend waiting until we got an official statement from the devs if it is fixed

[reef ibex]

sigh at least I have a private vpn with lifetime access

It's going to be annoying other websites with cloudflare though since I'll have to do captcha repeatedly

[dawn mortar]

i think that Cloudflare quarantine the IP for atleast one week, so it is not permanent. (as far as i know)

[covert linden]

Actually, it should be fixed now.

If you are still experiencing cloudflare issues, let tupper? know,

[obsidian herald]

VRChat will never die!

[uncut gorge]

It should be fixed now? Do you have some official word on that @covert linden ?

[covert linden]

@uncut gorge Yes. Tupper himself. #vrchat-general-1

If it is not fixed for you, and you are Still, this minute not hours ago, recieving captcha, on cloudflare's website, You can Dm tupper your ip.

[uncut gorge]

I'll find out in a few hours when I get home from work

[valid sandal]

Is it fixed?

[dawn mortar]

No words from the devs yet, some users are able to login again, but i would not recommend to do so until the devs tells us we can

[covert linden]

We have word from Tupper its okay.

[valid sandal]

Yea

[covert linden]

You should be all good to log in, as you wont be receiving any cloudflare issues, (If you do, there is a fix) . If people are unable to log in, they can do the reccomended fixes
@valid sandal So yes, it's fixed

[floral minnow]

There's definitely still issues going on with using the SDK in unity. It's pretty borked for a lot of people.

[covert linden]

If the sdk is messed, you should contact [e-mail] and see if they can assist with that, however the cloudflare issues have been resolved

[viral pumice]

Oof

[fading flower]

is the game actualy functional yet?

[rigid crescent]

Been functional for some people. I'd say most.

[fading flower]

or is the metephorical shit in the fan still

[viral pumice]

My 8ball indicates : “Perhaps you should try again”

[fading flower]

ah ok will load it up again

[viral pumice]

I’m glad my 8ball could be of help

[fading flower]

i will be back w results my game normally don't load on me anyway so idk might have to try a few times

[viral pumice]

Oof. Sounds like the 8ball described a lot then

[fading flower]

a fine investment

[mint onyx]

Is there any way i can reduce my ping ?

[fading flower]

:0 i loaded in

[viral pumice]

Make sure there isn’t any other network hogs running on your computer, google chrome, Netflix, yotta yotta

All hail the magic 8ball

[mint onyx]

It's currently around 400. I met australians, americans and russians on the same server, that's why it's so high i guess

(And my connexion is pretty bad too)

[viral pumice]

Wow 400.

[mint onyx]

Yes lul

[viral pumice]

You on wireless or wired?

[coarse rock]

yikes

[floral minnow]

@covert linden I see nowhere that VRchat has announced the cloudfare issues are resolved.

[mint onyx]

Wireless

[coarse rock]

I get around 90 ping

[fading flower]

🙏 🎱

[covert linden]

@floral minnow #vrchat-general-1 I spoke to tupper himself.

[hard fiber]

Yeah tupper did say it was fixed

[rigid crescent]

Do a search from from: Tupper probably

[floral minnow]

Is there a public post from him about it?

[covert linden]

If you still have issues:

TupperToday at 1:03 PM
They must still be actively getting Captcha checks from Cloudflare. if they are, they should DM me (my DMs are open) with their IP address (you can use this site https://www.whatismyip.com/ )
__
Actively, as in RIGHT now. As in if you go to the cloudflare website, you are still getting them

[coarse rock]

He's posted in #vrchat-general-1 earlier

[covert linden]

Yes, its all in public lobby as I said.

[coarse rock]

nice avatars btw mouse

[floral minnow]

Thanks.

.... but yeah, I'm still having people reporting issues and am dealing with SDK problems myself, so there's still definitely a lot of things not quite working yet.

[covert linden]

The sdk is likely a seperate issue, seems like their main priority was getting people unflagged

[floral minnow]

I know they'll fix it in due time, obviously.

[coarse rock]

Yeah, I guess at this point it's just a matter of when, but we can't rush it either 🤷

[floral minnow]

Ye. Sucks so many people got hit with that blacklist issue, but VRchat always ends up coming around in the end given time.

[covert linden]

Yeah,tupper probably hasnt made a big @ because then.. well, everyone would dm him

[fading flower]

if you remember gaia night and knuckles you pualify for a veterans discount

[coarse rock]

Yeah, which is what I would assume would happen, since everyone is going crazy since vrc doesn't work 😆 @covert linden

[covert linden]

Yeaah.. now its just normal vrc not working problems that are easier to help with at least,

Its just now when I tell people ima be swarmed with people not believing me : P

[coarse rock]

lmao ya

[viral pumice]

Okay lemme ring you up right quick @fading flower That’s gonna be $0.00 with a veterans discount (kudos by the way) bringing us to a grand total of $0.00

[coarse rock]

They're like "oh i didnt see it, so it must not be true"

[viral pumice]

Don’t forget your receipt 🧾

[coarse rock]

It's $Free.99

can i play VRchat now or is it still down?

[bleak nebula]

so they only way for me to get a newn ip is getting a new motem or routier

[covert linden]

Vrchat works well now!

@bleak nebula You should be good now, if you go to https://www.cloudflare.com/#warp are you recieving any captcha?

[bleak nebula]

no im not

nevermind it works now

i jumped the gun lol

[vocal shard]

Why is this game having so much issues? It's been over a year since launch and its becoming so unstable

[covert linden]

@vocal shard Whats your issue?

[charred iron]

I picked a good time to move I haven't been able to unpack this whole month so glad I didn't miss anything whole

[supple python]

@vocal shard Remember: early access game, to expect it to work perfectly 100% of the time is pretty unreasonable

[desert stratus]

its been undergoing a massive API change and i think also a server change over the past week (maybe month)

[supple python]

Early access = things gonna change, some things gonna break, now if things like this happened outside of Early access and in release, then yeah, be mad

[desert stratus]

when it's done itll be pretty huge cuz it means parts of the game are gonna run much faster than before and free up plenty of server space for other shit (i think it was something like 75% of traffic was dedicated to notifications alone, which means that 3/4 of this game's servers take up friend requests and invites over things like updating avatar and world data)

[valid sandal]

!online

[floral flax]

There are 5458 users in VRChat currently

[desert stratus]

but it isn't gonna be pretty, especially when there's only a number of devs i can count on my hands doing it without charging their users a cent

they're nice enough to let it run instead of shutting down vrchat entirely for a week, so although it may be shitty right now, at least we can still play

my two cents, check the blog and ask around for more info cuz im still not 100% sure what exactly they're going to accomplish

but point is, everything is gonna run better once they get that shit working

better than before, even ^ ^

[rigid crescent]

;-; I just want the networked IK back

[uncut gorge]

I don't want the networked IK back until they have some proper interpolation as part of it

[finite kraken]

i just don't want things to go bad

[rigid crescent]

The reduced lag for full rooms was so nice

[uncut gorge]

It was, but the choppy 5FPS movement on users who didn't have absolutely perfect connections was pretty terrible.

[rigid crescent]

Survival of the fittest😂

[uncut gorge]

with good interpolation it won't be a problem

[vocal shard]

Who the fuck is spamming trees in oknuj's world wtf xd

[spark pewter]

[fresh coral]

Is it working now?

[covert linden]

Yes

[vocal shard]

If you guys are having problems connecting your sdk to vrchat servers I found that unplugging your router for 20-30 minutes works

[coarse anchor]

is VRChat save to play again or is it still blacklisting people

[pseudo parrot]

it seems to be working again

[umbral reef]

Havent seen a report of it messing up in a fair while now.

[coarse rock]

lol havent been reading around in dif chats I guess

[robust cobalt]

I can now use my overlays again :D No more captchas :3

[covert linden]

@umbral reef Public lobby From: tupper, it's been resolved, but theres some things eople have to do if they still have errors via captcha

That wasnt his message I meant to search it up btw

[umbral reef]

Nah no need-

[glad panther]

Is VRchat safe to use? Or are there still difficulties?

[covert linden]

It is

safe

[coarse rock]

yeet, restarted internet and dont have any issues 😃

[jovial kestrel]

It should be safe to use the app now.

[glad panther]

Okay, thank you.

[pearl marten]

Is the black screen problem still going on or is it just me?

[polar bone]

what happened with cloudfare

[vocal shard]

Resetting my router didn't work 😗

:(*

[light saddle]

Rip Vrchat

[uncut gorge]

@polar bone bug in vrchat client caused you to ping their servers several times a second which then triggered the cloudflare ddos protection that the vrchat servers use which would then require you to solve a captcha to connect to the game, which you can't do because the game isn't programmed to allow you to solve a captcha and a fun side effect of the whole thing was that you would have to solve captchas on every single site on the internet that is also protected by cloudflare

[final vale]

how to use stream camera ?

[uncut gorge]

The stream camera just shows whatever the camera is seeing on the desktop window

rather than showing your first person point of view

[vocal shard]

@vocal shard sorry i mean modem

unplug your modem and router for 30 minutes then try again

lol

i just try'd it for fun and it is working

oh good

😄

[toxic kayak]

Can anyone tell me why my Favorites Double?

[heavy dawn]

... to double your fun

[toxic kayak]

Fair enough.

[coarse anchor]

i wait for a official announcement, i dont want to be blacklsted tyvm

[covert linden]

@coarse anchor Go from: tupper. Its words from tupper himself.
There is no more blacklisting going on, worst case scenario u dm.ip to tupper and he fixes it

[coarse anchor]

no official announcement, no fixing has been done

[covert linden]

There has been fixing. If you refuse to play or listen to tuppers word, then fine ot doesnt hurt me or vrc

Theyve been in contact with cloudflare as it says in announcements

[uncut gorge]

that doesn't mean anything

[umbral reef]

The Cloudfare stuff has been solved. Other networking might be iffy. That is why they have not made an announcement about it yet because people will just assume everything should work perfectly.

[covert linden]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565168949872820234/568159431632617686/Screenshot_20190417-154229_Discord.jpg

Again I discussed this all with tupper and its all public, easy access via his name search.

So it does mean something. Its the official response : P

[uncut gorge]

nowhere does that say everything is fixed

[covert linden]

There have been no reported cases of cloudflare issues coming bacj and almost everyone has had it resolved. He hasnt made a big announcement because the server has a few issues still, like sdks not working.

[uncut gorge]

which means it's not fixed

[covert linden]

The cloudflare issue is fixed.

[upbeat dust]

This doesn't explain not being able to upload avatars for some people

[covert linden]

If you dont believe me you can wait a few dayz until they fix all the other problems, like the sdk not working and sych

[upbeat dust]

faaantastic...

[uncut gorge]

you can clearly look in unity's error log and see why it's not allowing you to connect and upload things

[covert linden]

@vocal shard tf no hackers cant do that. The sdk is what allows you to upload avatars

The cloudflare issues were fixed. You wont be blacklisted by playing. That was the current and most important fix

@vocal shard beats me but you can contact support about that

[uncut gorge]

how exactly did you get hacked?

[rigid crescent]

Hackers hacking you from vrchat. It's a bit early for big meme time is it lol

[gloomy remnant]

i was about to ask if any1 also had problems uploading but i read chat first

[rigid crescent]

No one hacked you through this or most likely any game. Good try tho

[gloomy remnant]

this really sucks

[covert linden]

Uuh are u sure about that? Your laptop, got taken over?

[viral pumice]

By taken over you mean?

[rigid crescent]

Stop typing Shadow you don't even dm me any more

[dreamy cliff]

👀

[rigid crescent]

You think you can just come in here after leaving me </3

[dreamy cliff]

ITS A two away STreet

[rigid crescent]

SMH

[dreamy cliff]

Look I left you months ago.. move on..

[covert linden]

Sounds like you simply got crashed

[uncut gorge]

yeah, you just got crashed, no hacking needed

[rigid crescent]

Lolllll

[dreamy cliff]

😂

[viral pumice]

It’s a bit hard to understand from the little info. But sounds like you crashed friend

[dreamy cliff]

💀

[covert linden]

Ive been crashed and still heard audio before for awhile, before it kept repeating after that

[viral pumice]

By trying to hack into your laptop you mean?

[gloomy remnant]

yeah lol, you mightve just crashed

[umbral reef]

Dude- Stop saying you got hacked.
A crash is NOT a hack. Doing so is just plain fearmongering and hurts the game and community.

[midnight fossil]

@vocal shard I just crashed you that’s all :]

[covert linden]

They think someone was trying to take over their system because vrchat crashed lol

[placid zealot]

[viral pumice]

Oh don’t feed this.

[vocal shard]

what's up everyone

[midnight fossil]

Nah

[covert linden]

You said you restarted your laptop so how did that haopen

[umbral reef]

I call a big bullshit.
That is legit not possible unless you installed some very specific odd programs.

[covert linden]

Thats a big lie eek

[midnight fossil]

Lmaoooo

You’re an ape if you think any of that is true

[covert linden]

People cannot do that through vrchat

[uncut gorge]

Not saying it's a lie, but there is definitely some missing information here. Like you opened a file he sent you on discord earlier or something, because what you describe is not possible through the vrchat client

[vocal shard]

wait what lol

[umbral reef]

Remote acessing a users desktop is not an easy task.
You claiming someone did it makes it highly unbelievable.

[covert linden]

And if someone did hack your laptop to the extent wheree they had control, you wouldnt get it back.

[rigid crescent]

I couldn't even give a friend remote access when I was fucking trying to

[placid zealot]

Might just be their laptop itself acting up if it's a shitty one. Not hacked.

[covert linden]

Howd u do that? @vocal shard

[rigid crescent]

I doubt someone is doing it through vrc

[green bane]

LOL what is happened

[vocal shard]

idk lol

[green bane]

happening *

[dreamy cliff]

Wow mic yhou really be in here with this huh

[covert linden]

Please stop fear mongering, that either didnt happen or you did something unrelated to vrc, like someone else sent you a file and you downloaded it unknowingly.

[lean coyote]

I am not getting that Cloudflare anymore on the vrchat website

[green bane]

people can't get remote access to ur system from vrchat... u just got crashed

[covert linden]

@lean coyote They fixed it, you shoupd be good to access vrchat now :)

[undone sand]

So it’s a lie then because it’s impossible to do that just through VRC

[rigid crescent]

Yeah there's lotsa acoustics as you can see. All the cool people got banned but somehow I'm still here

[green bane]

if you're really that worried, wipe your laptop and call it a day

[viral pumice]

Hold up chat. I need to hear a quick answer. @vocal shard how did you stop them in their tracks?

[umbral reef]

@rigid crescent guess we are not cool man

[rigid crescent]

Yeah kinda tilted.

[covert linden]

"Doesnt give your discord out'- is also on a big public discord where we can all friend you and such and see your discord

[rigid crescent]

I would've banned myself long time ago lol

It's only like this when there's a problem though otherwise it's pretty lit

[green bane]

wtf

[covert linden]

This person has lost their mind..

[heavy dawn]

Fair enough.

[green bane]

just wipe your laptop. that way "they" cant do anything further

[covert linden]

If they wanted to do something theyd already have.

[placid zealot]

It really was probably your laptop not being able to handle vrchat and getting crashed. Nothing to do with hacking.

[green bane]

what LMAO they took the hack off

[placid zealot]

Sounds unbelievable. 🤔

[rancid vessel]

Have they fixed the game with the cloudflare issues yet?

[covert linden]

Please stop fear mongering. You did not get hacked off vrchat and it sounds like youre extending the truth by a fairr lot. Its not okay to spread rumors about vrchats safety.

[heavy dawn]

Friend:

removes admin access from Narr's account

[green bane]

like I said, easy fix. wipe your laptop??? I dont see what the problem is

[covert linden]

@rancid vessel Yes they have!

[rotund wren]

@vocal shard lol

[green bane]

[heavy dawn]

🤦

[rotund wren]

[placid zealot]

Okay what did the guy supposedly leave lol.

[rigid crescent]

what

[steep turret]

is someone being stupid again?

[umbral reef]

<@&397642795457970181> Can you guys warn the dude spreading lies about the game and trying to fear monger people?

[uncut gorge]

the hacker left behind only a single image of an anonymous mask

[umbral reef]

Getting fairly annoying by now seeing it in chat tbh--

[rigid crescent]

In b4 "I was only pretending to be retarded"

[rotund wren]

@umbral reef I don't think its worked I doubt they need to lmao

[covert linden]

Huh? ^

[green bane]

I cant tell if this guy is trolling and it hurts my heart

[severe lily]

Narratami, I'm giving you a warning now. Stop fear mongering. Wether it's intentional or not.

[placid zealot]

🤔

[green bane]

hit the woah and wipe ur laptop

LMAO

[rotund wren]

I think Narratami has a point though. I went on vrchat, got crashed and my microwave turned off. I would never lie

[dreamy cliff]

:omegalul:

[green bane]

[severe lily]

I charged my phone in the microwave once. Would not recommend.

[green bane]

he hacked into ur church and destroyed it :*(

[placid zealot]

[umbral reef]

@severe lily We both know you can only do that with the latest Iapple 10 and latest wanwansun

[earnest ermine]

where do I buy replacement batteries for my microwave?

I cook food by beating the shit out of it with a ps3 controller, wrapping it in tinfoil, and putting it in the oven.

[rotund wren]

@fringe bramble We just playin fam. But you shouldnt tell fibs or you'll just be punished for real

[umbral reef]

He is gone Mstar

[rotund wren]

This is so sad

[umbral reef]

So now, @severe lily Il get you some ice cream if you can ask the big boys for a lower slowmode 👀

[steep turret]

good another one bites the dust

[heavy dawn]

@covert linden PS controller, tinfoil, then MICROWAVE

[viral pumice]

Dang it I just got the song out of my head.

[vocal shard]

is that a custom avatar

[severe lily]

Hmmm. Trying to bribe chat mods? 🤔

[covert linden]

YES thats the most important step

[green bane]

[rotund wren]

He is get him bois

[heavy dawn]

lightning cooks it better

[severe lily]

Idunno I think that means a longer slow mode is in order.

You wanted 1 minute?

[covert linden]

Yes please

[green bane]

yo chILL

[vocal shard]

pl no

[fallow field]

I've escaped the loading screen!

[steep turret]

I mean it's only a bribe if it worked

[vast tulip]

wait, why longer? is it going crazy?

[severe lily]

Lmao, I'm joking. I can't edit the slow mode duration.

[umbral reef]

I know what it means- No ice-cream 👀

[covert linden]

Doki would love that screenshot yes please

[vocal shard]

phew

[severe lily]

@vast tulip Just trolling :P

They want it lower.

[rigid crescent]

I'd like 1 minute

[viral pumice]

What.

[severe lily]

This guy wants it higher

[covert linden]

How to make grilled cheese:
First get milk and feta and pour it into a bowl, beat the shit out of it with a ps3 controller, tinfoil, microwave. Thats ur cheese.

[severe lily]

24 hour slow mode?

[vocal shard]

xiexie < isn't that chinese for thank you?

[covert linden]

Id love a 24 hours slow mode yes plesse
Maybe even 1 week

[plush cove]

they should make vrchat for phone lmao

[severe lily]

Yeah, although I didn't know that when I made the name. @vocal shard

[steep turret]

rae I'm no doctor but I'm not sure that's how you make the grilled cheese

[rigid crescent]

Honestly I'm just curious what 1 minute slow mode feels like also I'm off break soon so it won't affect me

[vocal shard]

lol

[spark pewter]

Oof

[umbral reef]

Tbh- If its stupidly high id not mind it even.

[covert linden]

It is how u make the best cheese

[vast tulip]

that would be really interesting. a 1 week slow mode

[severe lily]

I'd imagine that a 1 minute slow mode feels like not being able to send a message until 60 seconds has passed since your previous message.

[steep turret]

can you lower random chat while you're at it

[vast tulip]

its a channel where you can only post once a week, to post your like, thoughts for that week

[severe lily]

BRB adding daily slow mode to one of my channels in my server.

That sounds fun.

[covert linden]

Seeing as theres chat mods here now...how do you guys feel about being sneezed on?

[umbral reef]

But i can only think once a month... Not once a week...
So its pointless 75% of the time for me

[severe lily]

Sneezed on?

[earnest ermine]

bold of you to assume vrchat players experience 1 thought a week

[viral pumice]

@vast tulip @severe lily the kids don’t know what telegraphs were.. can we show them?

[covert linden]

I have screenshots of a bunch of the mods reactions to that I need more

[severe lily]

Whats the context, like someone just walks up and sneezes on me?

[rotund wren]

Hold up is that my boi Squid from the Sunday Social I see in purple

[covert linden]

Yes. Are you the sneezed on kinds guy or the sneeze on others kinda guy?

Like yes someone out of the blue

[severe lily]

If someone walked up and sneezed on me I'd probably just be really confused and grossed out

[covert linden]

Thank you

[severe lily]

I don't even think I'd be mad

[rotund wren]

Xiexe we don't know each other but if you can pull a few things to get my name to appear red in here. That would be great thanks.

[severe lily]

I can't do that :P

[rotund wren]

This is so sad

[earnest ermine]

can you ban lucifer for me

[umbral reef]

@rotund wren Just get REALLY angry. Im sure discord will turn red then.

[vast tulip]

I think the best and safest way to sneeze is to lift the collar of your shirt and sneeze into that, but, people find that more gross then sneezing into your hand, for some reason

[covert linden]

I like asking tupper about his sneezy cat too xD and being sneezed on its great

[ruby needle]

[covert linden]

Mimi how would you feel about being sneezed on?

[umbral reef]

But what about that asking the devs for a lower slowmode?

[covert linden]

Careful Fpaul doesnt like sneeze talk

[earnest ermine]

I mean I can wash my hand immediately in most cases but I can't get nose debris out of the inside of my shirt, then it's gonna be touching me

[rotund wren]

I like to sneeze in cups

[steep turret]

if I got sneezed on I'd burp. seems logical

[vast tulip]

yeah but, sneezing inside your shirt should be more safe for other people, not you

[covert linden]

How are you always near a sink when you sneeze

[severe lily]

I sneeze into my elbow.

[earnest ermine]

I use the inside of my elbow

[rotund wren]

If you sneeze into your shirt your shirt will stick to your neck

[severe lily]

Elijah gets it.

[covert linden]

Same Xiexe or on peoople if its vrchat

[rotund wren]

Just sneeze into your hands and use it as hair Gel

[severe lily]

Now the question makes sense.

[covert linden]

Hehe I sneeze on jamie

[severe lily]

You have a goal to sneeze on every chat mod in game?

[earnest ermine]

infect them with your cooties

[covert linden]

So basically theres aa kid show called big and smqll and big sneeze on small and he was like youuu sneeezed on mee

[rotund wren]

Sneezes on VRPill

[covert linden]

...maaybe but thats secret Xiexe

[earnest ermine]

sneeze on vrpill's fat tomato head

[rotund wren]

[severe lily]

It's not secret if you say its a secret in a public chat 👀

[covert linden]

Nono im like a spy, you never know when im being truthful

[severe lily]

So you're saying if you ping chat mods we should ignore it because there's no way to tell if it's real OwO? 🤔

^ that was a joke don't take it seriously pls

[covert linden]

Nuuu not the caseeee I always do thqt with purposeeee

[viral pumice]

Oof.

[rigid crescent]

Let anarchy reign

[covert linden]

I know its a joke xD Irony because I pinged te mods like 10 times today eek

[viral pumice]

Lol.

[rotund wren]

How many times a day do you think @idle elm Gets called OwOBoy

[heavy dawn]

what's this?

[covert linden]

Omg perfect

[severe lily]

Every time I say his name, now.

[earnest ermine]

[rotund wren]

He needs an anime version of his iconic profile pic

[earnest ermine]

draw him in a jojo pose ples

[umbral reef]

Also as a reminder. All chatmods are confirmed robots. Dont give them your food as they will learn how to take us over!

[covert linden]

Xiexe want some icecrean : D ? take us over

[earnest ermine]

Nuuu no being bullied at work oor hereeee

[rotund wren]

This isn't the place to talk about your work bullies

[covert linden]

Everything will be okayy oclac D:

vrchat is being a big dookie

I cant log in

[plush cove]

hmm

[earnest ermine]

kibo icon

[plush cove]

ok so i love vrchat and one thing that i wish is having an htc vive ,trackers and a good pc so i can interact with people

[queen mango]

@ivory cloud Are you having those CAPTCHAs in websites that you have to fill in?

[ivory cloud]

No, no captcha. I can't log into the actual game.

[thorny mason]

is it giving u a login loop?

[ivory cloud]

Pretty much. I enter my details, it loads, but then the screen doesn't pass beyond the enter login details screen..

And I tried making further attempts to log in, so I think it's bugged or something.

[thorny mason]

mine just auto loads into a "loggin in as blank" screen and it just loops that.

[plush cove]

vrchat is being a lil of a bitch

i open it and it closes

[queen mango]

Seems unfortunate. Have you played the game 3 days prior? Something happened with VRChat's websockets in that time that caused them to send out data which Cloudflare misinterpreted as a DDoS attack.

[covert linden]

@queen mango The cloudflare issue is fixed

Do from: tupper in public lobby to be fuly updated, ive got work : P

[viral pumice]

Elire buddy. Hi 👋 ... that is all

[queen mango]

Yes, I heard. Though the ones who played before the fix rolled out will have to wait.

[brave totem]

So VRC is no longer cucked? Sweet.

[covert linden]

Nono they can dm their ip to tuppwr if still regularily getting captchas @queen mango

Huh.. I didn't hear that.

It’s okay Elire. Gotta sleep sometime. Unless you finished a robot version of yourself.

Did I hear that IP's are being taken on VRChat?

[valid sandal]

ok

[viral pumice]

Nani?

[abstract forum]

I have been warned by multiple people.

[viral pumice]

I’m sorry I didn’t really understand the question.

[queen mango]

Pardon, but I cannot comprehend the question.

[viral pumice]

Sorry that’s what I meant. Thanks Elire.

[abstract forum]

apparently people are getting IP banned on VRChat.

[viral pumice]

There was an issue previously that was causing ip’s to be temporarily flagged in cloudflares system. Yes.

[umbral reef]

Not anymore

[viral pumice]

Go to https://www.whatismyip.com/ if you are currently as of this minute getting a captcha, then dm Tupper your ip address to resolve the issue

[queen mango]

People who were playing before the fix rolled out have the choice to either wait out the blacklist, or visit the website above.

[abstract forum]

Okay, thank you for answering my question or statement lol.

[viral pumice]

So hard to type on phone. Had to edit

[abstract forum]

I just wasn't sure. 😃

[viral pumice]

Yeah lol. Sorry at first I was confused with the wording.

[abstract forum]

LOL. no worries. I had it come out wrong.

[thin ember]

I've been told to use a vpn to use vrc because people r stealing others info

[viral pumice]

...I personally wouldn’t recommend this as using a vpn has caused some issues for some people in the past. As far as stealing info, I haven’t seen any credible mention of that on this chat

[queen mango]

Their IPs, I presume?

[thin ember]

Im with LPD and my CO just dm-ed it to everyone

[true sky]

Even if they did, it would probably be a scare tactic

[pastel tundra]

@viral pumice it's true.

[thin ember]

Ah
Makes sense

[viral pumice]

I’m unfamiliar with both acronyms.

[pastel tundra]

I've had someone admit to it and say they are DOS'ing the VRChat servers. Albeit a week or two ago now.

[plush cove]

Do u guys know a guy whos called beowulf?

[pastel tundra]

They get your IP and whatnot. They legit were DOS'ing people who blocked their avatar. Their internet connection went down and all.

[viral pumice]

While I appreciate your candor.. I don’t believe that in this case that is worth mentioning. I’m not trying to be standoffish or dismissive but it’s not conducive to the overall environment

If you are experiencing issues with someone I’d suggest contacting support.

[true sky]

If you are getting DOS'd, its really easy to block the incoming connection via router settings @pastel tundra

[pastel tundra]

We did. Video proof too.
The dude just rejoined under a different name, changed his rank to orange and started harassing people again. :D

Not much you can do on a free service though.

It's also easy just to restart the router. #DynamicIPsFTW

[viral pumice]

There are many things that are involved and that could have happened and if what you said is true it needs to be brought to proper authority not to this chat.

[true sky]

^

[viral pumice]

Please as I suggested. Reach out to Moderation and or support

[true sky]

If they are too dumb to use a VPN, you can get the ISP info and report it to the ISP easily as its against most of their terms and conditions.

[ornate garnet]

He’s just telling a story, no sense in patronizing him for it.

[pastel tundra]

I know, but I didn't record it. What are you gonna' do? The kid said he was using his college as a botnet and was DoS'ing people via that...all of which were using VPNs (he didn't disclose which VPN provider no matter how much I pushed) and was adamant he wouldn't get found.

Proper authorities won't do jack against that. The best thing that could be done is find what college he goes to and find the bandwidth logs for the IT room.

Simply saying, the modded clients are able to pull your IP. I'm not going to call the Australian police because a yank threatened to DoS me. I'll just fart and my crappy Aus internet will crash. haha

[viral pumice]

Look, whether you or intending or not you are scare-mongering. Please drop the subject.

[true sky]

Plus giving the guy the attention he wants

[pastel tundra]

You said you haven't seen any 'credible mention' in this chat regarding people able to get 'that information'...well here's my 'mention'.

[viral pumice]

Seriously, it’s okay just drop it. There’s nothing that can be done truth or fiction then. I’ve told you what you can do if you refuse to do anything that’s fine.

[pastel tundra]

Exactly.

[steep turret]

why is this still even a topic of conversation.

[true sky]

All you are doing is feeding people that do malicious stuff attention that they are looking for.

[pastel tundra]

I'm not feeding jack man. Why bury your hand in the sand and tell other people to do so? The threat is still there. lol.

Anyway, has there been any other news about when we're live again?

[true sky]

Saying someone admits to dosing users is giving them attention just by mentioning it here

Plus they could be in here right now watching you say their name or mention them

[pastel tundra]

Huh? Sure, if I said who it was DoSing them...

[queen mango]

Best to drop the subject. You'll get him next time.

[viral pumice]

Please drop it.

I’d like to answer your questions but damn if mobile doesn’t make me waste time correcting myself. Only for me to delete it to say stop

[true sky]

I'm ending it here b4 another user gets banned/kicked, making it the 3rd one today

[viral pumice]

Hey @queen mango did you go super-Saiyan for this?

[true sky]

And Ruuubick was about to unleash his #general-media powers

[viral pumice]

Well uh that went well.

So uh... nice weather in here? Eh?

[true sky]

[queen mango]

Grey skies over here

[viral pumice]

You did go super Saiyan for that.

Oof. Time to hide. Read the article.

[austere ice]

Superb transparency for the tech team! updates @ https://medium.com/@vrchat/vrchat-downtime-post-mortem-3b956fee8c3e

[dusk tinsel]

This cloudfare ip blacklist issue is a huge yikes on the development teams part, just get all your users ip blacklisted l omegalul l

[austere ice]

Scenario analysis was not properly done if one serverside failure results in clients becoming essentially malicious.. Cloudflare does temporary bans though and web services can always be accessed through a captcha, the effects on clients remains small.

[tardy plover]

anyone know what fingerpoint is on wmr? working on overrides

[rigid crescent]

Transparency 🤤

[solemn relic]

my VR-Chat back and running thanks for all your hard work vrchat team

[idle elm]

Too much transparency on the Quest will be a problem

[valid sandal]

I hope all this gets solved soon

[uncut gorge]

welp, still unable to log in, no infinite loading screen, just fills in the "logging in as" circle then goes right back to asking me for my username and password again

[strange plume]

indeed

[grave dagger]

The medium articles mentions that there was a large uptick in DDoS attacks the last two weeks but also mentions that they're also being constantly DDoS'ed. That has to suck

who are these people who do that? what kind of lives are they living XD

[slim tapir]

Why tf does my VRChat keep crashing

[uncut gorge]

it appears they are having problems again lol

I am able to log into the website at least, just not the game

[weary bison]

If you're having trouble logging in, submit a support ticket. http://help.vrchat.com/new

you should probably include your public ip in case it's related to the cloudflare issues, you can get that at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what+is+my+ip&ia=answer

[vocal shard]

uh

cant log in ahhaa. just stays fully loaded

[hard fiber]

Oooo Noe uses Duckduck

[void inlet]

I'm able to log in. Seems to have sorted itself overnight (over 4 - 6 hour period of not playing)

[sudden shard]

Is there a mic sensitivity option or a way of disabling auto-detection? the game doesn't pick up my voice unless I raise it, cause it's so soft >_>

[rancid charm]

u fucked dude :/

[sudden shard]

Jesus f-c...

Dev team can't you implement this?

[hard fiber]

I have the completely opposite wanna trade mics? Mine keeps picking up everything i do xd

[golden cedar]

@sudden shard There is a mic sensitivity option.

[sudden shard]

Yes Sky but I'm sure you piss everyone off hah.

That's to just adjust your own mic's volume @golden cedar if i'm not mistaken

[golden cedar]

@sudden shard oh you mean actually raising DB...

[sudden shard]

Nuu, I mean like, allowing the game to pick up your voice regardless of how quiet you talk

Input Sensitivity *

[carmine merlin]

Is it safe to log in to vrchat now? I heard you can get banned if you do 😮

[tardy plover]

Im so confused why you cant say that

[sudden shard]

Why isn't there an input sensitivity option after VRChat has been out all these years? like

[brisk umbra]

Is it safe to go on? I read the post I just wanna make sure

Yep

[tacit plank]

That's a great blogpost honestly

[brisk umbra]

Just chilling

[worthy tapir]

Multiple people have asked but I haven't seen a clear answer yet....is it safe to log in, or are the DDoS/ban issues still going on?

Mhm

[brisk umbra]

So the issues are still going on?

[worthy tapir]

Some people are saying yes, others no.

So it's a solid.....unsure right now? I guess it's "play at your own risk" until there's a 100% official announcement that this BS isn't happening anymore

[daring gate]

What risk is involved with playing as of right now? @worthy tapir

[covert linden]

@daring gate The risk is over its safe.

[daring gate]

Awesome

[covert linden]

@worthy tapir its safe

@worthy tapir the cloudfare issues have been fixed, anyone stilll experiancing them will have to do a fix, but vrc is safe

[brisk umbra]

Thanks Rae

[near sky]

Just popping into the channel now -glad to hear it

[worthy tapir]

Ah, thanks for letting me know. I wasn’t sure as it wasn’t clear. The medium post seemed to be indicated it was still ongoing.

[covert linden]

There are still ongoing issues just not ones youll have to worry about

[brisk umbra]

So ones that doesn’t involve blockage?

[covert linden]

@brisk umbra yes like the sdk not working

[brisk umbra]

Ah I had that issue yesterday I fixed it

[true sky]

Just make sure you are on the latest VRChat Version so you dont get false flagged. So far havent gotten false flagged using latest version ;)

I lost it

Oh, I have that one.

[vivid halo]

!!!

[heavy dawn]

... and the Chocobo

[vivid halo]

Can I friend you then get the avatar?

[heavy dawn]

Sure. Same name in game. (without Rae Job get of course)

[vivid halo]

Okay

[heavy dawn]

It's a shame you can't just share a link to share those.

[vivid halo]

Yeah, and I sent you a friend request

I'm lostgamer

[heavy dawn]

Okay. Currently uploading my level. Give me like 5 minutes to get into the game.

I added a boat and a dock to my world! (Gotta add seat hotspots and make the boat go places next.)

[vivid halo]

Okay

Will I have to join you to get the avatar?

[heavy dawn]

Yeah the only way I know how to share it is for you to see me and click my character and then clone public avatar. This one is called Indoraptor Test.

[vivid halo]

Okay

Is shift+f8 dancing?

[heavy dawn]

haha yeah

[vivid halo]

Oof

[heavy dawn]

What in the actual fuck is your current avatar. It's like a pizza face nightmare fuel.

[vivid halo]

Your still loading in, and I'm SCP 173

[heavy dawn]

Oh, I haven't really tested my world on a slow computer yet. Your voice is chopping up like mad.

Maybe your Internet is slow?

[vivid halo]

I muted myself and it's not letting me click on you

[heavy dawn]

Click lower

There should be a pill shaped collider around where you can click.

[vivid halo]

I have been clicking that

[heavy dawn]

Crap... I accidentally clicked X on the VRC window 😆

[vivid halo]

Oof

[heavy dawn]

Let's just go to the hub. Wonder if your compy can't do my world.

[vivid halo]

Okay

[heavy dawn]

Okay, I'm standing around in the hub. You should be able to find me in your firends and join me.

[vivid halo]

Invite me, your not showing up on my list

Actually let me restart vrchat

Alright I'm join you now

I'm at the fire

[heavy dawn]

Yay! Succcess!

[vivid halo]

Very much success

[heavy dawn]

Enjoy it! I'm going to work some more on my level for a sec. Also it's my bed time 😆

[viral pumice]

Yes?

[heavy dawn]

🆗

[queen mango]

Your caps lock. Are you alright?

[heavy dawn]

[viral pumice]

If so...windows buttton + S...type in keyboard. Click virtual keyboard. Disable caps.

[vocal shard]

Calm down smoking

[viral pumice]

Problem solved. If it is a button.

[vocal shard]

No need for such vile language

[viral pumice]

here’s a simpler one hold shift.

[queen mango]

I feel like he is doing this on purpose

[viral pumice]

Well thems the only chances I’ll give.

[queen mango]

Plus, keyboards don't bork up this badly

[viral pumice]

I just wanted to give a chance.

I’m on a low yeet diet so I was trying to avoid.

But ahh what can I do.

[round eagle]

Oh, you broke the left side of your keyboard?

try right shift stuff first, cause thats more likely to work, otherwise it could be compatibility errors with they keyboard due to either age or abuse.

[viral pumice]

Oh wait. I get it. Smoking kills...keyboard.

[vocal shard]

yes you can

[viral pumice]

....I uh said this earlier.

[round eagle]

That would be the reason

[vocal shard]

what? why/

[round eagle]

Horrible idea to hit laptops, no matter the reason, cause keyboards are gonna be near to irreplaceable to the laptop and would require an external keyboard

that and all the important stuff is right under that keyboard, trust me, i managed to snap my motherboard hitting my keyboard on my old laptop

[vocal shard]

thats obviously not a keyboard issue then

[sudden shard]

I'm so fucked if they don't add a mic input sensitivity option, it was requested in 2017 and they didn't do shit since then to add it.

😑

[tacit plank]

There is a mic slider... The maximum is sometimes too low (especially for some Vive users) but it's there

[sudden shard]

Yeah that's not input sensitivity just the output of your microphone

But yeah it's a little too low for me too

[heavy dawn]

Really? I find with Vive you can hear everyone breathing. I put a piece of felt with a little hole in it over my mic.

[viral pumice]

Oof same. It’s creepy at first lol

[tacit plank]

Ah, sensitivity option. Yeah that's not a thing yet

[ruby burrow]

I'm pretty sure the mic slider is a sensitivity slider, not just output volume.

Perhaps I should test it again, but that's what my early adjustments to it seemed to imply.

[tacit plank]

It changes output at least, but for most people, it never goes loud enough, and the vive doesn't have a +gain option in Windows (which would sound bad anyways)

[ruby burrow]

Weird. Has always been fine for me. My experience is more in line with Lili's. Where it's a bit too sensitive.

I'm a soft spoke person, and I turned mine down to about 85% myself.

I found that at the default max it would catch bits of breath when dancing, but at around 80 to 85% it stopped picking it up.

[rough flax]

That reminds me, 2017 has been out for awhile now, where is our switching mic option fix?

[ruby burrow]

Probably 20 lines down a to-do list underneath trying to hold the servers together and battling against malicious modders, unfortunately. 😦

It's not actually ever been a problem for me, but it does confuse newbies sometimes, and I'm sure there's people with reasons to want to switch it more frequently.

[tacit plank]

It's fine for most, but one in 10 people are just too quiet even on max

[languid beacon]

People keep saying you can't switch mics, but I always forget to switch to my rift mic after starting vrchat and it always seems to work?

[brisk umbra]

Weird

I took my rift mic off actually

[warped scaffold]

you might need to adjust the gain in the sound settings on your computer, sometimes it'll bring it down really really low without you realizing.

[marble lintel]

Still not a good idea to enter the game at the moment right?

[tacit plank]

You can't adjust the volume for the vive mic on Windows I believe

[tidal onyx]

you can enter it

[tacit plank]

I think you can enter it no problem. Over 6k users online too

[tidal onyx]

never had issues either only a almost 10k ping because VRChat doesn't care about Europe

[floral aspen]

!cleancache

[floral flax]

You can clean cache by deleting everything within C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat apart from output_log.txt and config.json if you have them

[wise patrol]

ugh running into more and more worlds where nothing except for trigger outlines render

[cold knot]

Is it safe yet 👀

[queen mango]

Well, the issue's fixed. You can also check #announcements regarding their take on the fixed issue

[cold knot]

👍

[glacial crown]

uh cant login what the heck

[warm spire]

where are photos taken with the camera saved? it not in steam screenshots

[tacit plank]

Windows pictures folder

[warm spire]

ah thanks, found it

[tacit plank]

Steam screenshots are low quality anyways

[vital rune]

problem tho, said VRC non-steam screenshots are not located in my 1TB drive

[tacit plank]

Every week or so I move the pictures to my larger HDD and delete the cache

[tardy plover]

anyone know why my custom override isnt working? its just constantly looping the animation rather than playing the 1 frame

[tacit plank]

You need at least 2 frames in it I think. Copy frame 1 to frame 2

[tardy plover]

it is two frames

on the first frame its disabled and on the second frame its enabled @tacit plank

[vocal shard]

Gesture overrides will loop

[tardy plover]

I dont know what to do

[vocal shard]

Both keyframes should be the same value

[tardy plover]

they just arent working now and i made them the exact same

it just does nothing now

[vocal shard]

Are you trying to turn on a game object?

[tardy plover]

yes, im trying to activate it

lets move this to #avatars-2-general so I can show you the image of my keyframing

[vocal shard]

Object is default off, gesture override should be a clip that targets the object you want, and animates the is.active property to 1 on keyframe 0:00 and 0:01

[tacit plank]

My GPU seems to only have one HDMI port... I can't connect both the monitor and VR then?

[sharp spruce]

I bought a DisplayPort>HDMI adapter for like 20 bucks

[rough pulsar]

Oooh, exact problem we had with one of the library PCs and a Vive. Either use a DP-MiniDP for the Vive & HDMI for monitor, or use DP if the monitor supports it and HDMI for Vive.

[tacit plank]

Monitor doesn't support it, not sure if I even have the cable laying around.. Well, at least I found the solution I guess

[keen swift]

I spent more than 20 hours in the game on my account, but I still can not upload my characters! What to do?

[umbral reef]

Play even more.

There is no set time you need to play so.

[keen swift]

What nonsense. So I can play 100 hours without loading a character? Then what’s the point?

[umbral reef]

The system is based on more then just playtime.
We dont have an exact idea of how it works. And the reason it is there is so that people cant make a new account and instantly use it to crash/troll users.

[tacit plank]

You should get it soon

[valid sandal]

I hate it everytime i try to load a world i have yet been to it just pauses during load

[vital rune]

is VRC now safe to login? (yes I'm still paranoid)

[velvet quarry]

I have not heard of any continuing issues at the moment

[steel notch]

random question, how long do i have to be in game and such to be able to upload a custom avatar? 😃

[vital rune]

a lot of hours

[velvet quarry]

There's no specific amount of hours required, in general, just play the game normally, socialize with people'n such, and you should get upload permissions in due time.

[steel notch]

roger that. 😃

Thank you for for answering! 😃

[vocal shard]

my main avatar http://prntscr.com/ndmkbg

[warped scaffold]

VRC is safe to go in now, I've been on all night @vital rune

[slate verge]

welp stuck on unity fixing physics. I guess i'll just wait until someone replies to my problem.

[sonic thistle]

hey all. I can't even load into VRChat. I get to my homeworld after the longest loading screen I've experienced and no, my avatars wont load and neither will my friend lists. Cleared cache, set different launch settings, and even did a fresh install. nothing is working.

[lofty ravine]

!online

[floral flax]

There are 4516 users in VRChat currently

[queen mango]

@sonic thistle It could be an issue with your IP. Were you in VRChat 4 days prior?

[sonic thistle]

i belivve so

the loading screen takes forever. It was working fine yesterday

today it's just so slow and takes forever to load anything. and then I can't load avatars or lists.

[queen mango]

Hmm.. this seems problematic. Were you having issues the day before yesterday?

[sonic thistle]

no

other people are complaining about it on steam as well. The last few updates have killed their loading times and the steam community has begun bringing the issue up. It's just a ridiculoous load time. 30 minutes just to load into the default home world. then another 30 to load your avatars. don't even get me started on the world lists and friends.

[viral pumice]

Just curious, but if you navigate to the vrchat website is it a fast load or take forever?

[sonic thistle]

let me check

fast load

[viral pumice]

Hmm. On the bright side you don’t seem to have captchas. But that’s a little strange. Try reaching out to support.. I can’t think of anything off the top of my head atm...let ya know if I have an idea tho

[sonic thistle]

reaching out

reaching out to support is done through the user support section correct? @viral pumice

[viral pumice]

Oh, sorry I didn’t clarify earlier. User support is basically where you go to ask other users for help. But for official help you go to http://help.vrchat.com/new and create a support request.

User support is good to though because sometimes other users have seen the issue and have fixed

[sonic thistle]

I'm a dumbass

[graceful gust]

r we still having shit problems in vr?

[warped scaffold]

some it seems, I didn't have any problems since the first day

[heavy dawn]

Please do not defacate in VR people. 🚷

[languid beacon]

Reminds me of the guy who set his rift on the ground and his dog pooped in it

Everyone too him to just get rid of it and not even bother cleaning it

[heavy dawn]

Ew! Well no I'd just clean it but like... really take it apart.

[graceful gust]

rip

[covert linden]

Id sell my dog

[vocal shard]

wow what

[desert stratus]

sell your dog for full body

[covert linden]

Sell ur dog for a baby

[desert stratus]

do that in reverse order

[thorny mason]

i wish there was a way to delete an account ;w;. ever since i made a 2nd account (cuz the first was having a password issue) ive just been stuck on a loggin in loop for the 2nd account with no way to cancel or go back to the log in screen to input credentials. i did submit a ticket tho so.........ill just have to wait ;w;

[ruby needle]

follow the steps of #vrchat-support to clear your local data and you'll end up at the login dialogue again

[thorny mason]

i tried that. and it did put me at the login screen. but now its looping with my main account instead. ;w; @ruby needle

disregard that. it took a few loops but its good now owo. ty so much

[ruby needle]

[vocal shard]

finally

[stiff iron]

Привет

[vocal shard]

after 2 days i can finally play

!online

[floral flax]

There are 6763 users in VRChat currently

[vocal shard]

How long does the ip ban last? I got ip banned on my phone & home network so I still can't view a lot of websites that use cloudfire

[ruby needle]

depends on how intensive the spam was and if you have triggered any new flags

[covert linden]

If you got it because of vrchat, you can contact support with your IP and theyll remove it for you @vocal shard As stated in the document in #announcements : )

You can get your ip via this link https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what+is+my+ip&ia=answer

And can create a ticket with this http://help.vrchat.com/new

[ruby needle]

DDG

[covert linden]

Odd choice of ways to get your ip, buuut it was in the doc so ill go with what they say

[umbral reef]

@vocal shard Did you email them already as written in there blogs?

[vocal shard]

About to read the blog now since I didn't know about the newest announcement

I like how even the blogpost is unviewable on my phone since it's ip banned. Having to read it with my neighbours internet

[floral zodiac]

does anyone have a shit ton of problems when it come to controllers not detected on vrchat ? like vrchat started to only look for 1 controller out of my two (i got the oculus rift and its installed on steam) it has gotten pretty annoying if anyone have an idea , i tried quitting evrything , relaunching oculus app , deactivate and reactivate services uninstall and reinstall but nothing changes , funny thing considering vrchat is the only game doing that , other vr games dont do this wierd thing where it just dont detect the controllers

[covert linden]

@floral zodiac steamvr or oculus client

[floral zodiac]

installed on the steam client with this command at launch "-force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded -vrmode oculus"

vrmode deactivate the steam vr overlay

[pearl cave]

whats the avatar poly count now its no longer 20 or still

[floral zodiac]

and fixed some bugs i had

[iron thunder]

ive had voice prioritization off for a long time. Does it make a huge difference?

[covert linden]

@pearl cave 70k

[pearl cave]

thanks i just want to make very sure

[little rampart]

what has vrchat come to

a guy in a public world sayinghey guys clone my avatar it has a crasher, have fun with it

why arent all this people ip banned

[covert linden]

If you dont report nothing can happen

[little rampart]

i do

[covert linden]

Properly with video evidence?

[little rampart]

sometimes you have no chance

[iron thunder]

the games free. I don't imagine its easy to get rid of all of them.

[heavy dawn]

True. I think the admins perfer the log files.

[little rampart]

the thing is, this game used to be all nice and friendship god dangit, i remember 2017 before knuckles, you didnt get this shit...

[covert linden]

They want video evidence aand log files

[crude cradle]

@little rampart And the meme is somehow still alive xD

[little rampart]

im ok with the meme

im not ok with people ruining others fun

[crude cradle]

@little rampart Basically crashers

[little rampart]

yes

[vocal shard]

Yeah me too...some random guys keep spaming a portal...i was talking to my friend when I accidentally went into the portal and my game just crashed

[crude cradle]

@vocal shard omg that happens to me aswell

[vocal shard]

Ughh really hate it

Hey if you free...leta play vrc together @crude cradle ^_^

[crude cradle]

@vocal shard I ain't home tho xD

[vocal shard]

Its okay honey... whenever you free 👌

[alpine hound]

I suggest having the xbox game bar active so that it's always recording the last 10 minutes of your game. It's annoying but it helps to have video evidence

[little rampart]

or some sort of voluntary team that checks every single avatar that is uploaded in search for crashers, if a crasher is detected, ip ban that fucker

[ruby burrow]

There's are thousands of avatar uploads every single day. Not feasible to check manually.

[sharp spruce]

Something automated to check worlds/avatars after they're uploaded would be ideal, but probably hard to implement.

[ruby burrow]

And giving ban powers to voluntary teams of players is asking for disaster also, soon as you get even one corrupt or unscrupulous volunteer.

And yeah, whilst certain crash methods are easy to detect, there are countless ways that really can't be.

[rigid crescent]

Lol both are definitely not possible

You have any idea how many hundreds (if not more) avatars are uploaded per day?

[ruby burrow]

I've created avatars that were capable of crashing a world purely by accident on more than one occasion.

Fortunately the unintended methods I found wouldn't be something a malicious player could use without hitting themselves in the process.

But point is just that there's too many different ways to cause something to break to actually detect them all, manually or automated.

[sharp spruce]

I dunno, I think if they automated an account to load up new avatars, test out all the emotes and hand gestures, and profile performance and if it crashed another user, that'd be pretty useful.

[ruby burrow]

There's probably some form of automated system that could certainly mitigate it I guess. Any little still helps, etc.
Just not going to get them all.

[sharp spruce]

Honestly just not allowing particles on non-friends does a lot.

[winged thistle]

sigh jumping between 3 worlds and the game decided to crash...

I really hope this is getting better when I get a better CPU

[sharp spruce]

Crashing is more likely overheating or bad GPU drivers or low ram than being a CPU issue.

[covert linden]

Vrc is cpu based so a new cpu will help @winged thistle

[winged thistle]

well nothing is overheating, I got more than enough RAM

and I do see my CPU being at 95%+ the whole time in vrchat

[covert linden]

I never crash, and I overheat, plus have a mehhh gpu, and run off integrated graphics in vr, the only good thing ive got is my cpu : P so itll help

Which one do you have vs plan to get?

[ruby burrow]

That's pretty normal even for the best CPUs, but 100% of a good CPU will of course get your better framerates than 100% of an old CPU.

[winged thistle]

it's not a crash per se, it's just stuck at 100% loading when I go to a new world/instance. I got a 7600K@4GHz atm and I plan to get a Ryzen 3600 or similar

[covert linden]

That can actually be a connection issue

[winged thistle]

my RTX 2070 is mostly just sitting there barely reaching 50%

[ruby burrow]

Hmm. Your CPU isn't even that old then.

[sharp spruce]

Oh, that's a networking issue, you might even be flagged by cloudflare still.

[covert linden]

Are you on ethernet?

[winged thistle]

erm

[covert linden]

@sharp spruce Peoplr arenr flagged anymore. If they are they should be contacting support with their ip.

[winged thistle]

yes, and I don't think it's a network issue, it works fine the first few times when I go to a world

[ruby burrow]

Yeah, doesn't sound like your PC specs are at fault here.

[covert linden]

Things not loading usually isnt a cpu issue tho

[winged thistle]

well the game is also mostly running like crap because the CPU is bottlenecking hard

[covert linden]

Do you know what your ping is?

[winged thistle]

usually around 30-50ms

[covert linden]

Listen I ran vrchat on an old i3, 6 years old idk what gen, 8gb ram, and I had 0 loading problems with vrchat

[winged thistle]

god this slow mode is annoying as fuck.

yeah, the loading might not be hardware related, but the bad FPS very likely are

[covert linden]

Yeah fps is system

[sharp spruce]

Quad cores are finally starting to see their end of life, yeah. Luckily you're already on socket 1151, so you could get a current 8 core pretty easy and keep the rest of your hardware.

[covert linden]

Loading is usually a connection error almost always, you could try restartng your router or using a vpn

[winged thistle]

nah I'm not gonna throw all that money in Intels direction anymore when there's much better bang/buck alternatives from AMD

[covert linden]

I used to get that seeexyy 11fps

[sharp spruce]

I just went back to intel from AMD, bunch of issues with the asmedia chipsets on the ryzen platforms. You can't win either way

[covert linden]

Vrchat is heavy on one core though it does use mutiple, its best to get one that can be strong on cores oppose to like many

[winged thistle]

I am aware, but this PC isn't just for gaming

[covert linden]

I use an intel i7 7700k right now and I loove it, but for my pc im getting the ryzen 2600. Boyfriend suggested it because of the price and such so Im going with that

[winged thistle]

and hopefully one day Unity/vrchat can utilize multiple cores properly

[sharp spruce]

bang for buck the 2600x is damn hard to beat

[covert linden]

1660ti, 16gb ram, and the ryzen 2600
Hype for that build

[ruby burrow]

I was seconds away from clicking to order a 2600 a week ago, but then remembered someone talking about the 3000 series being close to arriving.

[sharp spruce]

I think it's at least 3 months out iirc

[winged thistle]

July supposedly

[ruby burrow]

So now I'm stuck waiting again, and hoping it's not too far off. >_>

[sharp spruce]

I gave up on waiting for stuff, running a 9900K and my 2070 is in the mail :3

[winged thistle]

wish I had that kind of money to just spend

[ruby burrow]

Well I live on £6000 a year, so any poorly timed purchase, I'm stuck with it for the next three years.

[sharp spruce]

Yeah, this is the first time I'm going nearly all-out on a build. I'm not paying the big nvidia tax for the 2080 or ti

[ruby burrow]

I bought a gtx960 four months before the 1060 was released for practically the same price, due to not researching properly and being impatient to make a particular game run better at the time.

Have regretted it ever since.

[sharp spruce]

I ran a 8800gt, 560 ti-448, r9 290

Still have the 290, thing has lasted me ages, but finally starting to show its age. I actually have to run an DP>HDMI adapter for my VR headset since the HDMI port isn't up to spec.

I think GPU-wise the only thing coming out soonish is the Navi cards by amd at some point, and the 2070ti

[covert linden]

for me its not just spending ive been workign my ass off to afford stuff

[ruby burrow]

June to July is looking to be a big spend for me. Index headset, new CPU, new motherboard, new GPU. And just bought a nice 1TB SSD to replace my old 120gb one.

[meager solstice]

Noice

[sharp spruce]

I might be getting the index, still wanna see what's up with it before I jump on it.

[winged thistle]

I'll probably get 2 256GB NVMe SSDs next month

[ruby burrow]

Have effectively been saving for this CPU upgrade for seven years. xD

[sharp spruce]

damn squishy, that's some dedication

[ruby burrow]

My poor old i5-2500k sorely needs and deserves an honourable retirement.

I worry the thing might just not wake up each morning. ^ ^;

[sharp spruce]

I still have mine :) dude has lived at 4.7GHz for years. Nice little chip :3

[ruby burrow]

And yeah, naturally. I won't be buying anything without checking the full info and good reviews first.

[sharp spruce]

Look into ram as well, if you're leaning towards ryzen. They scale stupidly well with better ram speeds.

[ruby burrow]

Mine is running at 4.6ghz. Has been amazing value for something so old.

[meager solstice]

I mean the index should be like the vive tracking wise, better controllers, and apparently vive pro resolution and a 135 fov @amber pagoda

[ruby burrow]

I had it running at 4.8 for a while, but it wasn't entirely stable. Could probably get it there if I knew what I was doing better though.

[sharp spruce]

I think my Q6600 was my favorite chip, thing ran at 3.6GHz from 2.4 stock, quad core, was under 300 bucks. That thing was a beast back in the day.

Might've just been luck of the draw. Certain chips just hit walls that you can't pass without way too much voltage thrown at them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[covert linden]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Z96RP3
the pc im gettting

my boyfriend designed it for me with me cho0sing like my gpu and ram

having an ssd was next to mandatory

[sharp spruce]

ssds are stupid cheap now, intel has a storage focused line, 100 bucks for 1TB NVMe

[covert linden]

Some of my friends are building ones without ssd's but, my laptop has one and its wonderful

[sharp spruce]

I don't think my next one is gonna have hard drives at all, I'll just have a big external drive for storage.

SSDs are fantastic, and hard drives are way less reliable.

[heavy bridge]

@sharp spruce $100 USD for Terabyte SSDs? Don't they cost an upward of $300 each?

[covert linden]

They are, I like being able to load in within seconds

[ruby burrow]

Samsungs 1TB 860 Evo were on sale for £100 where I live last week. Hence why I grabbed one.

[viral pumice]

Rae, If you have the extra money, I’d change the power supply from partpicker to one with higher rating. Though that’s just me

[sharp spruce]

@heavy bridge https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9nhKHx/intel-660p-series-1tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-ssdpeknw010t8x1

[covert linden]

I think that one should be fine, I showed it too my friend whos a pro with pcs and he had no problems with it, but ill see beforehand if I can go with a better option
Im very limited on cash atm

[sharp spruce]

They aren't the fastest, but not bad at all for what you pay. Still miles better than a hard drive.

[viral pumice]

Ah in that case I wouldn’t worry about it too much

[ruby burrow]

Hmm. 450 is presumably calculated and fine for that build, but probably is cutting it close.

[sharp spruce]

Rae: it's just good practice to get one over what you actually require, as power supplies age they put out less.

So something like a 650 would be plenty good for 5+ years.

[viral pumice]

Power wise it would work but bronze rating has a higher failover. And lower efficiency

[ruby burrow]

A higher capacity one can be nice, simply because it gives your more wiggle room in future for no fuss upgrades.

[viral pumice]

And also the capacity was another point but it’s also like...you know if your strapped for cash you’re strapped for cash

[covert linden]

I can get a better one at the eend of the summer when my pc is already built, but my moneys very limited rn

[viral pumice]

I understand that. Haha I’m always pretty limited

[covert linden]

If I can get a job that pays me over 1k a month remote im set, but nothing seems to be biting so seems like a lost hope

[ruby burrow]

I had to search through my emails to check when I got my power supply. June 2012. 750w.

[sharp spruce]

Remote work is way harder to find than anything else.

[covert linden]

Yeah, it is. I could easily get a local job.. but ima be out all summer

[languid beacon]

My GTX 970 has lasted me 5 years or so

[brisk river]

hi

[harsh cove]

are vrchat servers still down?

or is that cloudflare thing still going?

[sharp spruce]

Should be good. If you're still having issues, read #announcements

[urban jasper]

It appears to be working okay now

[harsh cove]

so no funny things going on with cloudflare? no ban and such things?
