Assuming the friends list is still not fixed
Hey guys, I want to import models to vrchat but the technique needed to do it is wa to complicated and long for me. So I'd like to know is there a way simpler and faster technique to import models
@stray prism you haven't said what technique you're using, so I can only assume you're using the most efficient technique possible, and therefore no.
More seriously though, there's a lot of information that's needed to properly render and animate a model, and someone needs to set it. If the model you're using was originally designed for vrc usage it might come with an pre-rigged asset bundle that you can just import and immediately upload, but apart from that it'll always need some setup.
I need to use a model then import it to the unity sdk then to the vrchat sdk and onl then upload it to the game
its been a long time since I gave up on doing this
Some one help....when on the "worlds" tab the avatar list no longer scrolls past 20 worlds. All the other tabs load more but ???? why only avatars is stuck. Bug? Setting? It worked fine a few weeks ago
The vrc sdk is a plug-in for the unity editor, you're not really uploading to one then the other. But yes, this is all necessary for now. Maybe that'll change if vrc starts supporting vrm files directly? But in any case the model needs to be prepared for use as an avatar somewhere, by someone.
@stray prism there are tools out there to make the blender step easier and then you only have to do the unity steps.
ho
@gleaming tulip Might wanna ask that in either #user-support-old or #world-development there
anyone still having trouble not seeing
?
I've been getting them... I think?
@vocal shard Its broken for me, for now atleast.
@main leaf Seems like it, sadly. My friend is playing the game but is appearing as offline and has empty friend list. In my case, people just slowly dissapear from friendlist till theres 5ppl left.
I haven't gotten one in a while, but it could just be nobody's sending them.
the game has been in a broken state for awhile now
So I heard video players were broken
Yep
Bro I was so pissed at my video player last night for not working in my world
xD Nuu, Ruubick himself mentioned there were issues and it's being worked on
I've heard you just have to update the dll yourself
Not sure if that works for this time
i love how every lobby has a talented musician with who you can jam with
Someone gave me a hacked mensage on anouncments when i got to the game
no they didnt
The "I'm an announcement KJFAJKHF" etc, is a placeholder message that isn't intended to be shown, but has been incorrectly showing up as of late.
Sup.
audio-video playback is Brocken in every video worlds
and in almost all of worlds when user join music does't play
i try to clear my cache and even uninstall and install vrchat again
but without any luck
š¦
Yeah theyre working on that
probably i guess
They are
killersforlunchYesterday at 11:53 PM
are video players broken?
RuuubickYesterday at 11:53 PM
We're working on it
@severe copper are they not planning to fix this
yes they are
i think at some point vrchat was using 99% of my memory yesterday
restart the game
legit couldnt stream on a single pc setup had to pull out a laptop
helloāŗ
!cleancache
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
You should also restart the game if its eating that much memory
hi
@covert linden restarting the game temp fixes it i have to restart it every two worlds or it becomes the next google crome on my pc
Yeaah, it is what it is ig
I wonder if vrchat will have knuckles support
It'll be gesture based, not full finger freedom based. Alike to the oculus controllers
I'm not sure if that has been confirmed anywhere
Or if that's still speculation from that one ancient video hackspanner put together in about an hour
There has been a video on it in server status, and it was gesture based
So thats where my guess is
I would very much hope that was not the official implementation, as that's something you can already do with the current gesture system, it's effectively no implementation at all.
It might start off as gesture based but get an IK at some point
It be nice if it could be toggled in settings
I'd say the knuckles implementation being "gesture based" is the worst case scenario in some sense, as the ones who have the controllers already can already do that with no official implementation from VRChat's side. I'd hope that VRChat would put some effort into implementing it properly, but that's speculation from my side.
I'd just be skeptic about using that old video as proof of what the proper support would be.
I more see that video as a 'Dw, we are supporting it'
the best way is getting the higher resoulution windows mixed reality head sets to work with vive gear been working on it quite extensively best testing on git hub soon maybe??? 
I dunno, I trust that video because they'd need to impliment an IK, its easier for other games because they don't have already existing gestures, like emotions, but we'd still have to rig like the fingers, with facial expressions
But it's hard to tell in the end
until they actually release it
Indeed, all we can do is speculate for now, I'd just argue that the video is not evidence that it's the way it'll definitively be implemented. There's hopefully a decent chance it'd be a more direct finger tracking implementation.
They are reworing the IK from what i know so
I'm trusting the video since it's all we really have, though it'd be ideal if it had a full ik, considering the game isss about immersion. I didnt know the video was old though, I saw it not too long ago
I search knuckles vrchat and get Ugandan lmfao
Though if that's the case even more people will want valve
@hybrid zenith Search up Valve Knuckles not vrchat
i don't what you guys are talking about but imma go work on figuring out how to code in the ability to use mixed reality headsets with all the vive gear
sup
That is the most confusing sentance I ever read Also @velvet quarry pepe
wait holy full hand gester tracking
yo when can i buy this stuff
i would much prefer gesture based stuff for knuckles controllers. or at least an option for that to be the implementation vs anything else
when will it come out vr please dont disappoint me
gesture based means not free finger control Lin
The valve isnt out until preorders until May? first
best
pre ordering
that's not really important to me. i just want clean gesture inputs like the oculus touch
the vive touchpad, whatever is going on there, is horrible
Then you'll have to stick with the oculus, as it seems to be likely the valve will have full free finger control with what oclac and afro think
And it gets shipped june if im not mistaken
yeah but vrc should implement it with normal gestures to fix the vive problem before doing fancy stuff
@covert linden no no someone got the controllers it has full free finger control
reveiw test unit
like if i have to do a hand pose twice or returning to defaults is incorrect because of some fancy implementation then it will be worthless
ill dm you it
It does for most games. However vrchat would have to implement it @vocal shard
guys I'm trying to join the great pug and I'm stuck in an infinite download loop
@stray prism First try the steps in #vrchat-support
oh ok
It doesnt mean it wont, it just means that it's an extra step the devs will have to take
time to hop on vrchat for the first time in two weeks š
Idk whats happening today but i am getting full 90 fps in vrchat
nice
What are you talking about
"""burntfrenchfriesToday at 8:05 PM
I wonder if vrchat will have knuckles support"""
Just important to be accurate here. The Knuckle controllers are now called the Valve Index controllers, and will come with the headset (they will also be sold separately but that is their name now)
a that makes sense then.
my bad.
Donāt go expecting āknuckle controllersā or youāll miss āem
so how much do I have to play before I can start developing my own custom creations?
oh okay
Thata just the average. It can be between 20-40 but big exceptions may occur @inner zinc
eek ? so 5 + 5 + 11. you're 21 
š
Yikes-
Not a smart move from them š
š
Is there a strix here?
Yes. Why ask?
These arenāt the droids you are looking for.
Is there a strix here?
No.
Just wait for him in this text chat. 
@vocal shard idk
is there anyway to rotate with keyboard buttons?
@vocal shard i actually know strix and he went to go take a nap
@cedar zephyr no, but there are ways you can keybind your keyboard to do it.
joy2key? x360ce? auto hot key? I've looked at the input configuration from holding shift while starting.. what were you thinking?
Does anyone know how to pair vive sensors with oculus?
What exactly are you trying to do?
Trying to set up full body with oculus.
i tried remapping with x360ce but vrchat doesn't seem to pick up the changes.. i'm wanting to move with a dance pad basically. I can move forward and back and strafe but not rotate yet. Not sure how to send xinput axis 2 to vrchat as a button or another axis
Anyone know why the avatar category in the worlds tab will not load more than 20 worlds? The rest of the categories seem to work fine. Worked fine before this week
Sure don't know
is vrc sluggish for anyone else uploading an avatar?
@spark jackal let me know if you figure it out!
I was expecting the vrchat community to just be a buncha memers, but in only 12 hours of playing, I've come across some great people and just listened to them talk about their lives, and being able to see something about them makes it seem a little more real. I don't know, I'm too emotional
It's just weird because I haven't encountered a community like that
oh god im finally done i think
Ah, thatās awesome to hear. (Responding to last furry)
Like it started with me meeting someone who was talking with me about VR sets, and then she pointed me towards the open mic world because she saw talented people there. We became friends and talked a little more, and then I went out to the open mic and met someone who was anxious about his singing but a really good singer, and it's just nice to encourage someone and they genuinely appreciate it, yknow?
Yeah itās nice
I just seriously need to find some new avatars, because it's hard to carry a normal conversation with someone when you're a pikachu that explodes when it talks
Sorry for ranting about that stuff, I just like talking about my experiences with people because idk it made my day
Ah you use that one, you just need to go to a lot of avatar worlds and find one that fits you
so my vr keeps sending me back to my home world and sits in loading causing me to reload my game
im in a constant reloading animation
it keeps sending me back to the loading screen over and over again
My problem with avatar worlds is that I can only really find anime avatars which isn't my cup of tea... I've been trying to search for avatar worlds that are suggested online, but I'm dumb and can't find the search bar
I'll have to check for that tomorrow, and if I missed it that easily, ima fall on my face. Thank you
No problem dude, any time
when i teach someone how to upload an avatar and didn't get a thank for it. You're welcome.
On behalf of the soul who did not give a thank you, I give you a nice big thank and many a head pat
@slate verge Some guy I know helped someone with blender and he got a girlfriend out of it
Hehe
Dang he got lucky lol
Hes also my boyfriend
Lol
Girls just want me for my prefabs š¤š
Kinda just started as avatar making for 7 entire days nonstop but we bonded a lot during that and bam
Nice
I only get dms from girls asking for assets it really be like that š
Damn that sucks man
I get free assets hehe
Iām a girl Iāll do u but I wonāt be ur girlfriend Iām taken
Iāll be your friend tho
Iām taken as well so that wonāt be a problem lul
Sure but I donāt play vrc anymore
Neither do I
š
Hehe im the lucky one
š š
meanwhile some people aren't so appreciative of what they were taught, but i guess thats just how it is for some people.
Yeah I suppose
I mean it was less of being appretiative and more of I fell in love
lucky for you ._.
Yeah, just fall in love with the people you teach
not this one for me. And i probably wouldn't. BF's are kinda cringe for me.
single and free :]
Anybody who use WMR here that the recent steamVR update has completely disabled your trackpad?
I hope not
I was about to say boyfriends arent cringy then I realized I wrote his name on my arm today and im 18. Point taken
@covert linden well....i don't mind having one...but tbh if they play the same game as you(i.e dating through vrchat) you never know what happens. They can go crazy and start a ruckus and then who knows what will happen next and then they get banned and all that. Some guys are just straight up rude.
Dunno, Been with jake for 3 months and hes coming to visit in 2, we talk on discord its not vrchat exclusive and I know him well enough to know he wont do anything crazy like such. Some guys are asses just gotta find the good ones
I actually met my boyfriend in this discord not actually in vrchat
Oh~ well thats sweet i guess.
Ssome people are insane tho
I had one guy I liked back in may met him in vrc and he demanded I buy him a vr headset
Ummm... wow?
A terrible one
I told him thst it was too far and he said "You said you could make my wishes come true are you LYING to me?"
I say that to everyone im close too. Hes the first one who had an irrational wish that would cost me 700$+
those are terrible people omg.....i would avoid them. Sounds like one of those psychotic boyfriends who controls you in a relationship.
all that for a fricking vrheadset though the heck...
groosssss
Yraah, I havent spoken to him since may. He blocked me for "dishonesty"
good you don't belong with them anyway
Yeah thats very true
:] here is a nice place

@hot gulch wmr has lost all gamepad abilities in vrchat no idea why
you can change settings so joystick to move around but gestures will not work
Wth
Someone said reinstalling the "mixed reality for steamvr" program fixed it. I haven't gotten a chance to test myself
Hi
Welcome ^^
Sure you can add me. 
I don't play roblox. No
3d or 2d
3d
ah
i'll just take a break, its too complicated
@odd blaze I've tried that around a year ago, but all it did was cause teleports/spawns to spawn you 50 feet away from the intended destination, as well as "slide" you around instead of walking.
It essentially worked as a sliding playspace mover, letting you phase through walls and not allowing you to walk up or down stairs
Also, for me, it's entirely in steamVR. Not just VRChat.
Edit: Reinstalling did not help either. Guess I'll wait for a while for an update to come out, and sit stationary until then.
random chat cann
is the cake in the great pug getting smaller?
That's a dangerous question
i keep getting sent to my home
hewwwo
ayeeee :3
https://i.redd.it/epmtcff7yc321.gif me anytime I play vrchat
š¤
who can map faces for a avatar
VR needs to be in the same GPU slot as the monitor. Is that the only limitation?
That's pretty much it.
Depending on the system you might need more USBs/bandwidth
Lol friend of mine got banned for making a nsfw avatar public for another friend to clone
But the idiot who cloned it used it in a public world and got my friend banned for a week
However the other guy wasnāt banned
How fair is that ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Alright, thanks Oclac
If you make NSFW avatars, don't mark them as public, or you will get the blame
Solution would be not to create ToS breaking content in the first place.
It seems possible to force others to change avatar and such (world triggers etc) and users of public avatars might not know if they have NSFW elements (if it's not obvious), so I guess that's why?
If you want to share nsfw avatars, send the files, or make it public, share it, and then immediately change it to private again (just changing your 'allow cloning' is not enough)
I donāt judge people for what they like
But from what I heard you can use nsfw In private worlds
However itās a bit unfair that he was the only one that got the ban and not the other guy when it was the other guyās fault
After all this person has explained to the idiot countless times not to use said nsfw avatar in public world
Saying āwell donāt make the content in the first placeā is a bit of a lazy response
Considering they are allowed to make said content for private worlds (from what I heard at least)
The community guidelines seem fairly straight forward about it.
Pornography & nudity is not allowed.
The enforcement of said rule may be a bit varying at times, but it's still a rule.
Yet in your world you post ānsfw avatar are not allowed in public worlds (public friends+)ā
Like before you load in a world
So make up your mind
Make up what mind.
To note, I'm not an employee and do not have any say on what the staff decides to do and write.
It doesn't say that it's allowed otherwise.
IT's allowed in private
No
"Not allowed in public worlds" is the same as saying "Allowed outside of public worlds"
No
Exactly
Due to the nature of private instances, it's effectively not enforced in private instances, but as far as I can tell it's still against the rules, due to being listed as such in the rules.
You need to be specific
It heavily implies it
It's generally the responsibility of the avatar creator to not upload rule breaking content, and if it ends up in a public instance that's generally on them I feel.
Itās weird why not say ānsfw is not allowedā but you list the 2 instances of public worlds instead of all worlds
It's not usually enforced in private, but it might be if you're reported, which I find to be wrong as the rule implies that anything goes in private
The rules are clear
The ToS might be, the in-game rules imply that you can make nsfw avatars in private without risk
It would mean you guys left out said private worlds. Because you didnāt list them in the world loading rules. Aka your fault for not being specific
If nsfw are not allowed. You should say ānsfw is not allowed in any instanceā not just say public worlds
It's generally known on this discord that you should only share nsfw avatars with and around people you trust, but people that don't use this discord and go by the in-game descriptions will be mislead
And if at all, it would be tolerated. Which is a big difference to allowed
Tolerated and allowed is practically no difference
No.
The hell you mean
I do agree that's it's some odd wording on their part, but I still feel it's the responsibility of the avatar creator to make sure such content doesn't reach any public instances.
"Tolerated" is good enough, if it implies that nobody is banned
As far as I know it's an accidental gray zone, the rules do not mention it's allowed anywhere.
(currently) tolerating something is a big difference then allowing it.
If you make a NSFW avatar public, then other can copy from each other even if you disable copying for yourself. Because it's per user and not per avatar. I think this is fine, but it likely confuse some users as well
You guys really should update your rules on it because right now it doesnāt make any sense
Staff are not able to enter private instances last I checked, therefore they go unmoderated.
I hope they are not, but one of my private worlds have a visit that shouldn't be there
At this point youre mixing up the rules. And thatās your fault for not being specific.
Again, we're not staff and did not write those.
These guys are chat mods, not staff
Youāre moderators. You should at least report it to staff
We are Discord moderators.
All staff communication is done via email atm
They're too busy to check the discord I guess
they are chat mods and have no say on the rules, they just enforce the discord rules
Still they can easily report it to staff chat in a flash
š¤¦
Considering if Iām gonna be honest. Sending an email is ignored
If you want an official opinion on all this, I recommend you either email hello@vrchat.com or moderation@vrchat.com , we can't do much but speculate on this specific case.
It's not tho. @vocal shard
I mean look at the stuff the community has complained for months
Every email is red.
Itās still not fixed
its not ignored, it can take 24-48 hours before you get a response
Tupper often says that every email is looked at. The result may vary, but somebody will see it at least
if they do something about it, they will post a response saying "thanks for reporting the user"
they wont go into detail though
You would think stuff like invite bug would be fixed from the amount of complaints
It's not a problem they're ignoring, issues are often rather complex to fix.
Or stuff like the servers
If it would be super easy to do so.
They had months
what issues ur having?
Yet no fix
As far as I know, the specific "invite" problem has been around for a week or two now.
they wont respond to the email as they already know and are trying to fix it
Invites not working, request invite not working, crashing, getting kicked into public worlds outta nowhere, getting sent to another world joining a friends world
Invites run over websockets, but some people are trying to ddos VRChat offline. They're probably attacking the API or something which messes it up
These still aren't problems that can be fixed on a whim.
wierd for me the vrchat works just fine with no problems (after windows reinstall)
They have been a problem for months
Most of those issues are network related. VRChat is just under attack constantly and still not used to the large amount of users and user content
And my patience has been running dry
except the crashes are back..(windows is to blame)
I understand shit takes time
I'm sorry to hear that, but I do know they are working on fixing them as fast as they can.
But itās Been MONTHS
did u guys tried a clean reinstall?
So thatās why itās concerning
by removing the game and steam
But to get back to the initial problem.
If you want the rules on it: it's clearly not allowed.
The loading text is a hint to basically not be stupid to show it / get caught if you still do it.
It however doesn't explicitly say it's allowed.
Ever since that new unity update vrchat has been BUGGY hell
A month is not much
Months not month
Clean install doesn't help much. #vrchat-support is what to do cus that clears up everything
Servers are unstable, which causes all the issues you just listed
These problems were in the old unity and got worse in the new unity
when i say cclean reinstall the steam gets removed as well ( a cleaner is usefull to remve residual stuff witch i use iobit unistaller)
Rules imply that anything goes in private worlds. I think that it's ones responsibility not to leak anything from private, but if you get reported while in public I don't think you should be punished
Iāve been patient and waited but right now itās frustrating that there isnāt a fix especially when said problems are getting worse with each update
Please for the love of god fix the bugs of the game
Because right now I donāt see it
@dawn pecan just avoid public servers i think...there are ppl kicking other ppl without any reason...(i got kicked a lot with the voting stuff)
I avoid public instances, but sometimes I'm worried if I will be reported in friends only worlds because of my avatars
@lethal summit it depends on instance. Some instances are chill while some are people thinking its friends+ world
well avoid them as well š
@true sky i was only having once a knuckle and since u know that ppl hates knuckles they just kik u out š
also i was doing nothing just hanging in there or been afk.
Like nanachi is allowed, but other non-human avatars might be reported for being nude, even if nothing is shown. I don't know how others think, and a lot of people just hate furries
i use it alot and havent gotten voted out when chilling at a mirror
just avoid the blue one š
nanachi is tanking over the vrchat slowly š and in silent way.
My friends hang out in friends+ usually, so I want to join them
the sonic one usually 50% of the time gets me vote kicked out of a room asap š¤·
I dislike knuckles myself lol. They are just gross to look at. I don't votekick them though
high poly looks really cute ngl
unless you speak of the deformed, bad weight paint looking one
Knuckles is the default meme one with a hole in it. Yeah, nothing cute about it
Nanachi models are kinda cute tho
whats nanachi? owo
Anyone know what happened to the SAO world?
OwO
UwU
oWo
Any idea on how to fix my issue? Basically I did the whole use a ps vr headset on your pc and it works fine etc I just have 2 issues, I can get keyboard and mouse to work and I can move in the 4 directions but I canāt turn, I can obviously look with my headset but my body wonāt turn. The other issue is that steam recognises my ps4 controller and vr chat uses it when in non vr but in vr it doesnāt
Rather annoying and yeah I could play vr chat without the vr but it would besides the point haha
Which part is problematic? Launch it on Steam and log in, preferably using a VRChat account. You should be in game
i broke 2 vive headsets and 2 nintendo switch systems and a lot of monitors in my past
:/
okay
slowmode is enabled...
Yes its so that you cannot spam easily

Another one of those meme things involving spamming in other discords. I'm out
Oh, its gone @covert linden ;P
Ah awesome, yeah idk I saww that but I didnt know if I was suppose to @ the entiiire chat mod team for that
I think they saw it though
Yeah definately
I think I get treated as spam when I get on a soapbox.
Does someone has that cool banana avatar?
I would check random chat Thomas
no stay away with your rp nonsense from random chat lmfao
i peered at the screen in front of me reading the text on the vrchat discord. Curious as to what Dirk meant when calling RP nonsense
Lol. Ok that's enough 
Kicking people from my instance isnt working
omg jamie
@blissful current what was that world that you said was pretty large again? im thinking to check now
Guys, I need help.
which one
I don't quite remember
maybe I was talking about my Nurburgring
that one's private
well oof
but there's one in community labs
looking for it
Do only I have issue, when talking to people and strangely got moved back to home location?
I mean, I talk and then screen blackens - bam welcome to home world
everyone talking about nothing - spam every 15 second
someone comes with technical problem and asks for help - total silence
GG Vrchat community
user support is for cough #user-support-old
I dont expect other situation there ;v
Well that channel is kinda meant for helping so i imagine someone will try to help at some point..
Nanachi is oddly popular in vrchat
Wow, not getting tech support outside the help channel? What a trash community
No, just talking about the potato who posted earlier
Yeah because they're off
oh ok
btw guys, i need to download new youtube thing from github to get vieeos working right?
downloaded it like 2 months ago, i need to download a new one?
It was updated with a quick patch yesturday
And no, you'd always need the newest one
because the reason it breaks is youtube changed things that the current one doesnt handle right. So overriding an old one would not help you much 
Yeah videos havent been working today and people were saying i need the youtube exe thing, or something, I got it a while back but eh, no worries š
So like, i heard that vrchat lost it's sponsership with htc, so how's life getting sponsored by Facebook Kappa
Pretty sure that's all BS and misconstruing things.
lmfao
That was around 2 years back
is vive the same as htc?
I heard VRchat got sponsored by JK Rowling, so it must be true!!!!!!!
Vive is a product brand made by HTC, not sure if it's considered its own sub-company or anything.
french ?
Somehow every "I heard..." Here is total bs, I wonder why that is 
ok afro. the reason i was asking when i looked up htc it said htc vive
In here its the same
But HTC also makes phones and stuff so
people who want vr
lol
i mean 499$ is more affordable than it use to be
not really unless u have a good job
Think about it
a bigher end gaming PC also costs you 1-2 grand
so thats like nothing
^ true
$499 thats enough for 3 or 4 weeks of groceries
especially as a rather early adopter into a more higher end thing
and you get a lot of playtime and fun out of it
so it really aint that much
I mean they make walmart mixed reality, oculus quest/go they r cheaper versions for vr
quest / go are not comparable
right
Mobile VR has nothign to do with PC VR
why
I paid $500 for VR.
is basically comparing your computer to your smartphone
it's completely different thigns and targets
Meanwhile a basic smartphone costs way more then VR
And then paid $300 more for the full body tracking.
Because nothing else on the planet can offer this.
lol
There are chumps out there who spend two grand on a wrist watch.
should of looked on ebay
Excluding time developing in Unity, I've spent close to 2000 hours on my VR since I bought it 9 months ago.
k
so what vr set did u buy?
People effectively spend 20 times that going to see a movie, on a cost per hour basis.
I got a Vive.
I'm at like 2800 with 100 or less non VR hours
ok
Know someone with over 4K hours
Pretty crazy if you think about how much time that is
anyone want to play vrchat with me?...
squishy do u mean vive not vine?
A Vive yes, that's what I said.
Nope the message aint even edited
Yeah a few friend have 4k+
They usually sleep in it tho
Most of my friends list is 2500+
wowwww!!!!! look at this i found for sale
Attract Attention 9D Vr Motion Simulator 4 dof Game Machine 6 Seats 9D Cinema Virtual Reality Chair Equipment
@ruby needle 
One thing I find amusing about VR, is that you mention it to someone, and they seem to imagine this image of you laying in a chair Matrix style, getting fat in a forgotten dirty room, alone and not caring for your personal hygiene or appearance.
When ironically, largely due to VR-Chat it's been the total opposite for me. I now spend lots of time standing and moving about where as before I'd just be sat at the computer. I have never been more social in my life. I had to reorganise my room and am forced to keep it tidy so I don't bump or trip things. I vacuum it far more now, since I enjoy dancing and then lounging around in full body, and don't want to breath in dust. And I both shower and wash my face far more often now, due to needing it after dancing, and wanting to keep the face-pad clean.
Rad I have no idea what that even is
https://puu.sh/DjN4N/9d88206e3e.png looks like the few I have in steam aren't super high compared to the friends I even talked to in-game. These see probably more common numbers tho lol
I've definitely rearranged my room a lot since getting it, planning on taking out some more stuff to make room and probably get a smaller bed when I buy a new one, my old one is trash anyway
Sweeping and keeping a clean spaxe is a must though for me too
@covert linden what can one hire you for?

depends

Ayy
Are there any older people playing the game, like a community or map they always meet? I got my uncle to play and hes like 40+
Hm, my group is 28~33
I've only ever met one or two people in their 40s, not sure.
I met somebody like age 65
dang
Older person I met on the game so far
wow
Oldest friend I have in vrc is in his 50ās
hmm guess my uncle will have to make due with fellow 12year olds in the pug
dang
Lol
You just gotta search
Most people I meet are in their 20s
Best bet is to join an older gamers discord and meet up
yeah but wheres an older gamers discord for vrc
and idk which map would attract older ppl tbh ><
I would say that your best bet is to stick with the pug
alrite
@languid beacon I've been looking for a group that's my age for awhile.
Except the ones who belong in my age group are either alcoholics or obnoxious.
14?
14? Pls.
I've been outta high school for a decade now. ;)
I'd be worried if there were drunk 14 year olds roaming the Pug.
there are
š
Welcome to being an adult on the internet. Constantly reminding my older friends that kids are around lol
Yep!
need help #vrchat-general-1 ;-;
When I was 14 I thought that adults were old and that I was grown-up enough for any subject myself lol
I suffer from cripping social anxiety.
Exposure therapy
I think because vrc is a very social app, people who aren't used to going out with friends are surprised how much people drink socially. It's pretty normal but people are shocked who aren't used to it. I find it really interesting how much hanging and drinking in vrc feels to hanging out with friends irl drinking, except you're in the safety of your own home
Think about how limited your experiences are, and how it's something you're imposing on yourself to save yourself from a non-existing danger. Then get angry and fight it
Your biggest limiter in life is usually youself. It's kind of strange really
Well the main reason im shocked so many people drinking in VRC is because they are alone...
IRL people can take care of you when drunk and ect. But within the game those people often just pass out drunk.
And i know also a fair bit of users that legit have to drink to properly socialize within the game because they are so used to it.
Well there also the fact that Vr headsets keep you feeling sober even when you should be drunk
That also and loads of the people sit down fairly quick what means they notice it even less
I can say for sure that drinking in vrc feels way safer even if alone. Also, what adeon said, that's only a little true. It doesn't make you feel sober at all
It's because when walking around in vr with artificial locomotion, joysticks, you don't have that balance issue. You still feel drunk
That's when the piggy army spawns.
hi does anyone have opinions on using vr with like a usb-c to usb port thingie? I don't actually have a usb-c port and was thinking of getting one so i could use it with a wmr lenovo explorer (the rift-s I'd have to buy 2 different converters for it to work so woohoo) š
Well usually when I'd go out drinking when I camped, it never really hit me til I stood up either
converters are often... tricky
Hey I'm new to the whole VR stuff does anyone have headset recommendations?
depends on your budget. currently i'd wait for the Valve Index
its the (for now) only good second gen PC VR headset.
depends on how much the valve one will cost, tho im rly curious about it i dont think for a first vr headset if it wouldnt be too much
Oh sorry I wasn't specific enough I meant headset I already have a VR headset
Yeah I really just want more index info ;-;
does your HMD not have a mic?
@vocal shard Use as few converters as possible
For example, I have two monitors, one using a converter and the one one directly connected to my GPU without any converters
When changing resolution/opening a fullscreen game/etc., the monitor directly connected just blinks, but the one using an adapter stays off for about 0.5s
resyncing is one thing but the latenzy is not affected except for the few nano / pico seconds the converter needs
which do you have? Jana
I have a HTC Vive
"ear rape" means beeing a dumb idiot overgaining and finding it funny
Not the new wireless one though
and the rift / vive mic are good enogh
sure
Also
the rift one is actually reallly good, vive has a bit of breathing issue depending on persons but not awfull
better then even most gaming headsets
Today I tried out the Mic of my VR headset and I always heard myself is that normal?
What! That's insane
@tough nimbus ye its why i decided not to get a rift-s cus i'd have to buy something to convert from a displayport to a hdmi or something (but having heard that using the regular rift just doesn't display anything because of the lack of power coming from the hdmi, i don't think it would work anyway)
@torpid jackal hey
Tbh I kinda regret buying a HTC Vive
depends on the adapter @vocal shard some work
It's good and all but there aren't that many good games. Occulus has just so many good exclusive titles
try it first
you can ONLY play it on your computer
I think he meant without a VR headset
Download it
And start it
Then follow the instructions
You can play without a headset by choosing desktop mode when launching it on Steam
(The name might be a bit different)
i was curious about the wmr cus even if ppl complain about em i think it would be the only type of headset i could use with my current computer (which is just a gaming laptop so i have to be careful with what i choose)
They are shown in the game. Don't worry!
@vocal shard I have a WMR headset
yes when you launch the game hold shift and it opens the settings @torpid jackal
Nothing to complain about so far
@torpid jackal Download it.
WHAT HOW COULD I NOT KNOW THIS @deep bramble
@torpid jackal https://store.steampowered.com/app/438100/VRChat/ downlaod it here
steam store
My life just took a 180° turn @deep bramble
Blocked?
no other things that i have are just silent so hi guys
@tough nimbus which one do you have? a person proposed the lenovo explorer but theres so many to pick from idk which one to eventually get if all the headsets that get announced wont work with my stuff
The Acer one
@vocal shard WMR headsets tend to actually have a higher resolution, so they might actually be harder to run than a Rift/Vive. Unless your issue is the number of ports for USB devices
mk bye
bye
@deep bramble Both the SteamVR and Oculus tests said that I have a bad GPU, but I can still run it
(XFX AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB)
Yeah that's pretty low power for VR
Aint that the guy that makes way too nsfw content to really be spoken about night?
@torpid jackal What?
hmm well the gist of my problem is that i only have an hdmi and 3 usbs, nothing else, and my laptop in particular has issues with the rift because of a lack of power coming from the hdmi (from the forum posts I read)
You want like... GTX 1060/RX 580 level or higher
running all the vr test thingies i have all the right stuff except my graphic card is minimum requirement š¤ (NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti )
For everything beside VRchat then its totally worth upgrading the card before you get VR then
Yeah basically
Make sure you use a cute anime girl avatar
the difference in how people act towards you is amazing š
Then why are you here actually? Just asking.
If Steam's blocked for you
then you can't, I think
How exactly is it blocked?
By your ISP, country, or just network?
I don't think Steam's blocked in any countries though
use a VPN
Virtual Private Network. Basically it's a service that acts as a go-between between you and the internet at large. It hides your data so other people can't see what you're doing
It can get past network firewalls, IP blocks, etc.
it's also good for protecting your privacy online
no, they don't have a standalone client download that I know of
someday i'll have vr cries
Only Steam and Oculus store versions
everyone just tells me to get a new pc boohoo š
Yeah, not on Discord. Just checked
Do you have an Oculus headset though?
Not sure if that'll be playable in the non-VR mode, but you can try it. It's free after all
No downloads there I think... There are links to the Steam and Oculus pages
There has not been a stand-alone version since VRChat ran on Unity 5.3, the only ways I know to play the game at the moment is through Steam or Oculus Rift.
welp my other plan for vr is to get a wmr which only needs a usb-c, plug it in with a converter (i've got 2 i could test out) and see how that works out ā
You need to have Bluetooth 4.0 or newer for WMR
lemme see thanks
Nighthawk# 100% sure its in your spam folder ^^
I should fix my name
[Help] VRChat doesn't recognize default audio devices
Everything always worked fine but with the recent problems VRChat had and with the latest updates I can't hear anything in-game and I can't speak anymore in-game. All other applications work fine. I'm a desktop user and tried starting up VRChat with and without SteamVR. All drivers are up to date, I tried playing with my audio device settings but no luck. Also checked forums and other people that had problems and tried those solutions and still nothing. An actual game breaking bug unfortunately.
Any ideas are always appreciated and if you do reply to this message please ping me @rough sundial !
@rough sundial You tried #user-support-old?
Omg I looked for a channel and I must've looked right over it my bad!
No worries.
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Mmm, sometimes. Why?
I don't stream VRChat if you're asking.
Why?
Common name, I'm sure.
I go by Kytharsis elsewhere. ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Much better
we need a report avatar button like there is for worlds.
You can report the user for a bad avatar. With that the avatar should also get checked if you select the right things.
And you can always email them.
Aah, I'll have to try that then.
yeah, I didn't have anything solid to email for. decided to public world hop, went to 4, and all of them had people talking about their 'clapping' avatars. :/
that's no proof of anything though.
There is also a Viveport build iirc
I love commenting and then chat scrolls like 100 new messages I didnāt read and I responded to something ancient
Yep 
hey my friends account is compromised rn and he changed the password but the guy on it keeps trying to change the email
thats me, helppppp
an account cannot be compromised unless he sees your mail
well vrchat is an open book
He just needs your password... And knowing how some peeps store there passwords and use it for everything it aint too odd they got it from somewhere else.
anyone want to trade custom avatars
since i know my self...an playing online...i NEVER even once had my account compromised..
Avatar trading? Iāll give you 3 Rons for that holographic tupper
im just going back and forth with this guy changing the account email
he changed my status to "btw u wont be able to take it back"
Yo everyone, Is Air cooling enough for VR in VRchat on the Ryzen 7?
Its one of the ETS-T40 fit white cluster cooler
email support@vrchat.com and make it clear its a light emergency.
Why would air cooling not be enogh @rancid vessel
sent an email earlier, but sent another one, and then the email changes stopped weirdly
Decent aircooling is better then poorly made watercooling, and especially then the devil on earth, aka AIO Watercoolers.
@ruby needle So I'm probably over worrying that my new PC will overheat? I'm able to play desktop on FX 6300 with a T4 at.. like 37C.. VRchat is probably more gpu heavy than CPU.
Ho... hohoho.... nope
You'd think so but no
the other way
If only lol
Hopefully with the Enermax cooler coming with the new PC.. I'll see 50C max on VRchat..
My PC is.. near a A/C vent after all.
Ryzen 7 2700x I should be set..
yes
AMD told me that's their higher end Ryzen
AMD told you, huh 
Mhmm. I ask before i buy š
anyone know why my avatar isnt showing up after ive uploaded it
Wrong unity version
every time i try to download the right one it gives me an error
ill tell you what it is in a sec hold up
failed to locate the editor: not a signed unity app
oh my god im a retard
i just open not through unity
If I have better internet connection with my vrchat on headset will it run better
Hello, is there a Pinned Message, or a chat room I can look at for choices in budget VR Sets?
Oculus is coming out with a new budget headset for PC and Wireless on May 1st @feral quiver
About 299USD
Hmm, VR's usually range around that price, huh?
A lot of new ones are coming out, but if youāre looking for budget then that would be a good choice
Oculus rift S if you have a gaming PC
Thanks! I'll check it out. Been seeing all these cool VRChat moments in YT and such makes me wanna get one Keyboard/Mouse feels so bland in game. Boutta start school too, so debaiting if I should spend or not. lol.
I would really recommend the Oculus Rift S then, it will be 300$ American and you just need to plug it into your PC and you donāt need to set up any sensor cause itās all in one package so itās easy to travel with or if you have a small space
soo like any wmr right now at 120$~ except it has bit more camera's :p
Thanks for the help, Cherry~
No problem, youāll be able to count on it! But itās not out yet itāll be available May 1st at places like Best Buy or online amazon and the oculus website
Itās a little better than that lol xD @odd blaze
same resolution (odyssesy+ is higher) same tracking except more camera's still battery hungry controllers,
Hm, I don't even talk in VrChat yet. Lol. š
Battery last 30hs:)
yeah thats about what mine does too
Thatās super! š Iām happy for you
Vive last week' ish
Hmm, Best Buy's website doesn't seem to have a product page for the Oculus Rift S. Maybe I'll drop by tomorrow, and ask em.
Depends what you want but if you get rechargeable e itās okay
Oculus rift S will not be available till May 1st @feral quiver
Right. Thought they'd have a page already at least, for those who were to "preorder" or such.
Hahaha yeah that would be nice I agree š
Didnt they also ditch the gamepad on that version, so now only a joystick and less buttons since all the directions on the gamepad could be changed to a button with steamvr settings, still good to see they are working on better tracking
I'm pretty excited!!! Glad I asked.
What? The rift S touch has all the same buttons as the old touch, just the ring is flipped
Yeah
Oh. Idk. Never really looked into VR stuff before, since they're on the expensive side, imo.
Itās just more accurate sensor tracking, there are no dead zones
Oculus rift s will be a great introduction then š
Thatās the main marketing goal
I'll probably move to the rift S if the index is expensive
never used the touch , ment vs a wmr wich have joystick and gamepad havnt really check it out yet since its gonna be awhile until it hits here
Rift S is good price for what it offers! Itās going to bring a lot of people into VR Becsuze if this which is why theyāre doing it! If youāre more hard core into VR And have a more expensive gaming computer and willing to spend a hefty amount of money then index could be an option
There are lots of brands coming out with headsets š
Iām going to be buying the rift S and the quest and index I am a collector š
With the Oculus R-S. You play sitting down, or standing up? Lol. Never experienced VR before.
Probably get one too if/i mean when i break this :p
you can do both, what ever you prefer @feral quiver
I don't use a rift, but from what I've seen, and I might be wrong, the rift uses the ring for gestures in vrc right? I wonder how that would work for the S
the rift has capacitive sensors
you actually do hand gestures
to do the hand gestures
it's soooo good
knuckles will work similar
feel free to add me if you have any questions Iāll be able to answer all of them mid May mid June when I have all the headsets š
Awesome!
yeah it definitely would feel more realistic, I'm so waiting for the knuckles
Well, I better start watching reviews. I don't know how to use anything. Haha. š¤£
I recently moved from wmr to a rift and love the touch controllers in vrchat. Knuckles will be cool too
Yeah I love the movement with hands on touch š knuckles will me super nice if they do it right !
Any of you experiencing slow downloads of avatars and worlds even though your internet is fast?
if by doing it right you mean individual tracking then
pls no
no more IK calculations
but there might be sneaky alternatives like with current fist 
I have @crisp siren
My vrchat has been super slow and laggy and avatars take. While
Some maps are worse than others
Hmm like even 50mb maps are so hard to download
Hmm, can you perform / participate in dancing with the Oculus Rift S?
Yes, but it does not have full body at this moment
So you will not move your legs or hip
Ah, I see. You'll be able to move your arms and hands though, yeah?
And head
Ohh. okay.
You'd need leg trackers. Which would be expensive. You'll need to buy light house sensors and trackers. Note that no headset comes with leg tracking out of the box
Oh man, VR is quite the exspensive setup. š
This is so annoying
It's minimum $300 extra for leg tracking if using vive trackers for dancing
Most of us play with just the headsets
Vive full body is only available, but you donāt really need it, and you better have a computer that can process it š
The legs are all automatically handled by the IK for the rest of us
vive fbt doesn't really do anything for performance
I think I'll just stick to the suggested Oculus R-S. It sounds great for an entry Vr user.
But my gaming Rig did pass the Rift-S test. š
It will be very good. Good entry point, and imo a good upgrade for wmr users
Yes oculus rift S is great!!!! For entry!!! Itās good!
It really is recommended
I want to buy one to compare it to my index
erm...
when the index comes out i assume. Lol
Welp, forget buying a new vape mod tommorrow. Going to BB to see if I can preserve a set. Haha.
favoriting avatars broken again so annoying
Yes when it comes out Iāll be in preorder list š
wonder if my name will pass.....
why does it keep saying error updating content. unity package upload failed. failed to upload file
and does anyone know what "cameras are removed from non-local avatars at runtime" means?
Question: is it just the instance I'm in or is Silent Beach meant to be hard to hear people unless you're right next to them?
Like, concert-level next.
If there is a cache for avatars then why are there so many times VRchat is painfully slow at loading my own avatar that I regularly use in my home world?
as in they're too quiet? @torn pelican
Strx it's possible that the world has a very low voice falloff
which would make sense, with that world name
I think that is the case with that world. I never noticed it while being in there, but I remember that in that world I always am surprised that friends I thought left were still there...probably because they couldn't be heard.
How do you transfer the data from a oculus vrc account to a actual vrchat account?
Whoever put Jiggle physics on a Lucario's ears, I love you
I finally found some nice avatars!
Thanks to whoever pointed out the very obvious search button to me yesterday
First time I've been recognized by two VRC staff.
anyone know why "humanoid avatar must have head, hands and feet bones mapped" is showing up in the build control panel?
Your humanoid avatar most have those mapped
they are mapped though
Can you check by going back to where you select humanoid and clicking configure
Random fun minor discovery. If you put an IK follower on your head, and then parent a mesh to it, that mesh won't shrink locally like the rest of your head does.
Tested it with a wide brimmed cap, and was still able to see my own hat at all times.
Normally you don't get that.
Can now use this with the witch version of my avatar to know if people can see my face or not. (I've had a habit of looking up through my hat at people, due to forgetting it's there.)
wait you can show meshes for your camera by adding IKs?
should also apply for joints, as far as I can remember
I had a friend who used to do that to see his front-hair on a separate skinned mesh
Hey. Anyone that has WindowsMR, are you having any trouble being able to use your touchpad ingame (as in being unable to move)?
Yet all other buttons work.
@sharp heron yeah, it's a new steamvr bug
I hope its fixed bt tomorrow.. otherwise ill be desktoping it
There was a steamvr update and it broke wmr
Guess I'll be playing on Desktop 'till there's a fix. Thank you guys so much.
Are the alternate mappings where you use joystick to move, also broken?
Sticks to move still work, but touchpad gestures dont. Only hand open and fist work
Was there an update to the stable branch of steamvr? If so it might be the same bug I got in the beta where I lost some of my input bindings. Might just need to add them back on.
I don't know. I haven't checked myself
There are mappings for WMR using sticks to move on the Workshop. So at least you can get around, just not gesture.
There's a few posts about the issue on the WMR subreddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsMR/
I imagine if there's a fix or any workarounds get figured out you might find them posted there.
One user has reported reinstalling WMR for SteamVR fixed the issue for them
https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/bha0ud/help_issues_with_gestures_on_wmr/els6izd/
Wait is strix still here?
Is there a way to not appear in User Searches?
@ruby burrow does that trick work for bones as well I wonder?
Hey there ho there! Quick question to the streamers out there with headsets. Is there an option (maybe like a settings file) to increase the FOV on the vr chat game window? Or do you instead just capture the view in your headset? I just notice the image is not one to one in the game window vs my headset so things can look cut off
Sup Bob.
you can use the SteamVR display mirror option and capture that window instead
Ah gotcha so thats the norms when it comes to capturing vrchat then
should give you the full headset FoV which you can then crop yourself
anyone else having problems with VR? It keeps shutting off of rme
WMR users:
Anyone suddenly not able to use their touchpads? I just logged into VRC and noticed I couldn't do any gestures and so thought I was just sweating onto my controllers, turns out that wasn't the case.
Ever since the most recent version of SteamVR, turns out now most if not all WMR users are experiencing this and I'm currently looking for a solution
Yeah everyone is experiencing that right now. Someone claimed that reinstalling mixed reality for steamvr helped them, but I haven't heard from anyone else
Yea I just saw that on a Reddit post on r/VRChat, I'm just not sure if the person did anything after reinstalling
As in, find it in your library, right click, uninstall, find it in the store, reinstall, then maybe restart Steam entirely for good measure
I mean, I can still play, I guess. Just can't be as expressive
Hope they fix it up fast
Where can i submit crash reports?
check out #moderation-reports š
Hey guys
Im cancerous š
Hi cancerous, I'm a misanthopic idiot
RIP Gabe.
does anyone here use blender?.
what key do i press to undo stuff on blender?. if i did something wrong
ty š
No problem :P
im new to blender xD im trying to learn how it works tho :3
Good luck then
its so weird
cus i cant move around when i summon a item cus my mouse is like locked on it
so i cant move around while i add a new item in
if i try to move around i just fling the block around the whole screen and mess it up so im stuck
ty š
You don't have to thank me XD
VRC never ceases to amaze me.
@maiden compass Are you and I the only one still alive?
Why does the MMD dance stage caused so many technical issues
I have no idea.. back then it used to work fine. But now it's causing black screens for lower-end users
Heya
so, i cleaned up my friend's list and within hours it downranked me
i just got known like a week prior
now i am back to a green rank
a little warning would have been nice...
vrchat servers are dying again...
i kept getting sent back to my home world every 3 to 4 seconds. im eithet on a KOS list by a group of hackers or the servers are being DDOSed again
Yeah, what's up?
Interesting
I can imagine!
What's this have to do with XigneoN or did he set the challenge or somethign?
I don't think you can ping them or any other member of the VRChat team for those
š¤

how do you even play this game
First you open steam right, search vrchat, and when you find it, you hit the big play button
how do you morph into a cute anime girl irl? wth plz fix rl
Physical impossibility
nono Im an anime girl today elire dun lie
So what you do, is go pure weeb, right, get some severe adhd, so your personality matches a clumsy anime girl
yeah but rl have better graphics tho
Then, wear a headband, with ribbons going far down, to look like the girl in dagashi kashi, cut your hair special and bam
I get called an irl loli all the time
mfw you will never be able to morph into a cute anime girl irl, why live?
do people play this without the big head thingy?
yes
like with their pc only
yes
but how do i move my hand
You move your mouse
doesnt the mouse tilt my head and not my hand?
Oh I read hand as head, you cant move your hands
You can grab stuff by clicking them, and your arm will raise to hold them, but you cannot move your hands otherwise
how do you have fun without voicechat?
why no voice chat? you can play games, or just observe everyone else talking
lol
Turn That Poop Into wine
lmfao this is the simplest game to play, it really isnāt that hard. you just interact with others, itās a social game
Hello does anyone know where I can get WWII UK soldier avatars from thank you
What? Where?
Any good avatars with shootable guns?
PC desktop users can still use voice chat
But if as a desktop user you donāt even want to use a microphone I must say enjoying VRchat will be extremely challenging. It is a social game, being social is much of the whole point. But there are some games to play but I have a feeling you will skip out on most of what there is to do
Solution for desktop mutes: be cute.
is being uganda still a meme?
is anyone else having hand gesture problems in vrchat? cause all of a sudden my hand gestures arent working... but the touch pad IS picking up the touch so idk whats going on
that moment when steam vr has finger tracking but vrchat doesn't
Which consumer devices have finger tracking and SteamVR support?
@languid beacon The home
The what?
But you know- Steam ran software working with a steam product
Because VRchat is available on 1.) oculus store 2.) steam
And oculus doesnāt have finger tracking so whatever does must support steam
Convo history is available ^ that way
so
are there eu servers?
im in south africa, and im getting 300 ping so i get logged out every other 5 seconds.
No idea how their server cloud works
