Please report the offending user either ingame or via moderation@vrchat.com. Provide as much info as you can, so that the report can be investigated and acted on as quickly as possible.
pulsar cedar
I'm working my way there now, but most of the time their advise revolves around finding the person who did it, not fixing the actual damage caused.
(at least from my experience)

Also, there are quite a lot of users who use single kanji for their names.

How much people do we have in VRChat? Like in discord and owning the game?
How can i see this?
umbral reef
As in total or currently active?
In total you can not really for both but currently active in game you can look at VRCBot's description (4735 users). But as a headsup this might be only SteamVR users but i really have no idea 🤷 .
umbral reef
For this discord you can ask a chatmod maybe. They should all have aces now to the list in discord where the total number is shown.
But ingame no way, can attempt to email them maybe 🤔
violet imp
Nah, not worth to bother them with that with an email. That's why i asked here, if they would notice me and mayby tell. But you know, people are busy..
umbral reef
They arent really that active (the admins) in this discord because they have other more important work to do ;p
violet imp
Yea, i think this is really just for the community, and for easier #announcements
umbral reef
Around announcements they are in chat to disprove fake news and rumors. They are also fairly active in the beta testing channels and at times provide support for avatars.
violet imp
Okay, also with avatars. I can't make any because unity is being broken.. 😦
umbral reef
Whats broken?
Or might be best to ask that stuff in #avatars-2-general as the people there know more then me
violet imp
Unity won't let me download any of the versions, have contacted unity support already for that, but haven't gotten an anwser
Multiple ones, in 5 months...
umbral reef
Cant you directly download it?
violet imp
Yea i can, but it doesn't recognize it.
umbral reef
Could attempt using unity hub really. But this aint a support channel and im out of idea's so lets more on from it (or move to #avatars-2-general )
violet imp
Nah, don't really need to because it is a problem in the pc, im getting a new soon anyways...
So i can get vr for it and play vrchat in vr
Altough i can play vrchat in vr in my school.
Also, it's kinda weird to see 16K people online in the discord, and only seeing 2 people talking here...
covert linden
Most people just join to read announcements
This chat only gets lively when an @ everyone ping occurs
violet imp
Hm, i wonder why...
covert linden
Because they dont want to accidentally end up in a relatio ship
violet imp
:̴)͘
woven steppe
people do vent in here very often tho...
violet imp
To be fair, i haven't been really active here either..
rough pulsar
We have around 76k total in the userlist here on the vrc discord. Only a small portion of that are active on a daily basis and like Rea said, activity spikes after @ everyones.
violet imp
76k, big number...
rough pulsar
In terms of user numbers & activity in VRChat itself, hard to tell now since VRC is distributed via both Steam and Oculus' store. When it was Steam only user numbers from Steam were fairly accurate.
violet imp
Okay, Thanks, also sorry for kinda using your time to this..
rough pulsar
I'm having dinner so not really doing anything super important.
violet imp
Okey.

nourishment intake is important enough tho... I mean it does keep you alive

Can your vitamin gummies reproduce the almost bacon-like quality of this ham?

And i always forget to eat on time while in VR 🤔
woven steppe
I just eat when I get hungry...
rough pulsar
Get yourself some index controllers. I can 100% confirm you can eat a McDonalds burger while holding them.
violet imp
Hey by the way, is there any good cheap vr headsets, and all the full body things too, right now for sale?
rough pulsar
For around a month or two you're probably more likely to find people selling off their Vives so they can buy the Index, so if you're willing to go second hand that's an option.
snow scaffold
On the cheap side there are the WMR headsets, they are decent
covert linden
I love wmr headsets
median basalt
I kinda want to switch to Index so I don't have to sync my Oculus playspace and my vive trackers
covert linden
Ive got an oculus but I wanna sell it fir a S
median basalt
But index is super expensive for some reason
Valve is price gouging to the max.
Especially the base stations. They're charging ridiculous amounts of money because they can. Kinda like HTC did with the Vive
rough pulsar
It's the first batch basically. I won't be surprised if the index goes down in price in a year.
violet imp
hm, asus wmr headset with motion controllers? Is that good, and does it work with steam?
rough pulsar
Early adopters always pay extra and if you're not willing to do that then ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I have the developer version of that one and aside it not having a builtin mic it's not bad.
woven steppe
Actually... IMYT Music... just wait for the market to get saturated with used VR sets as people buy Indexes
rough pulsar
Yeah, that's really your best bet. Especially if you're wanting to get FBT in vrchat.
violet imp
Well, i wasn't planning on buying a VR headset any time soon, unless there is a cheap and good one, because, bills...
woven steppe
not much sense buying a VR set more expensive than your PC
snow scaffold
Don't talk me about bills ç_ç
woven steppe
talk tax instead?
violet imp
I wasn't talking to you? about bills? eh? (not trying to sound rude)
snow scaffold
It was just to get along with the convo
rough pulsar
I think they mean they have some to pay (or recently paid some) and have no money left?
Or that.
snow scaffold
Yeah I had to pay a shitload of bills lately so yeah, relatable stuff
woven steppe
I know I'd have no money left when June comes around because I'd have bought PC parts
rough pulsar
I feel you, but in my case it was payment for my Valve Index.
Woohoo for having almost no money. 
rigid crescent
Get yourself some index controllers. I can 100% confirm you can eat a McDonalds burger while holding them.
Gallium doing the product testing we really need.
Gonna eat sushi ingame and IRL
rough pulsar
So the one hard part about eating with the ICs in hand is you can't really use your index fingers for much unless you slide your hands a little further down the controller.
When doing any physical manipulation pinch-style like 👌 I do it with middle finger and thumb. Feels a little strange initially but then you get used to it.
rigid crescent
Yeah was gonna say, middle finger and thumb seem like the best alternative
violet imp
Right, i'll go play something with my friend, cya! o/
rough pulsar
Have fun 👋
snow scaffold
@rigid crescent imagine a game which point is to let you eat something IRL while showing you another food in VR
Nice mindfuck and tastefuck
rigid crescent
I've got this weird thing where I can't eat without seeing my food that I'll probably have to break to eat in VR lol
rough pulsar
Holy shit dude, that is one hell of an idea!
rigid crescent
Oh eating a burger irl and a piece of pizza ingame!
snow scaffold
Yeah exatcly!
rough pulsar
Like, my first encounter with squid ( the food, not the vrchat user) was me thinking it was onion rings in batter.
snow scaffold
Might be the best solution the let children eat vegetables rotfl
rigid crescent
Lol
rough pulsar
And it was all wrong in every way due to what I was seeing and what I eas expecting and what it really was.
meager solstice
oof that must have been a odd surprise....
rigid crescent
I love and hate that "wait what..." Misdirection your brain can give you
Like picking up an empty soda can thinking it's full lol
snow scaffold
Haha true, it's always so weird
rough pulsar
Well, when it comes down to it our brains are just super-crazy pattern matching machines.
ruby burrow
When talking about prices, people do forget not to compare the reduced price of old tech to the release price of new. Rift-CV1 cost $600 on launch. Vive $700. Whilst Index at $1000 is obviously still a lot, it's not as massive a difference as people make out.
rigid crescent
I do that st work a lot since I move a lot of orders around. Some see 20 pounds some are 5, but they're all in the same type of box lol
ruby burrow
The one part of the Index pricing that did really surprise me though, was the base station cost, like Rokk said.
I was under the impression that the lighthouse 2.0 was supposed to simpler and cheaper to produce. And yet there's a nearly $300 gap between the full bundle and the one without them.
rough pulsar
It still blows my mind how the systems on lighthouse-tracked devices can detect a fairly weak laser beam zooming past a 2mm sensor at fucking mach 5.
rigid crescent
I noticed they track my trackers way better than my controller. I found the surprising
snow scaffold
I'm about to sound dumb, but did Lighthouse trackers use Lidar technology?
ruby burrow
Not lidar no.
snow scaffold
Ok thanks 😄 Saw an image some time ago that looked like the typical Lidar cylinder
So I made this wild guess
ruby burrow
They rapidly project sweeping IR lasers that the little sensor divots on the controllers/headsets detect.
Here's a nice 1 minute 30 sec video that helps visualise the gist of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J54dotTt7k0
rough pulsar
The tl;dr of V1 lighthouse is a reset pulse is flashed when the laser rotors are at a specific position, and because of their constant stable speed when the laser beam passes by a sensor the time delay between the sync pulse and laser sweep can be converted to an angle. From that mathematical hoodo is done and you get a pose.
snow scaffold
Aaah super cool. Well actually it's not that far from Lidar tech, or at least, they share a laser rotor
ruby burrow
I believe the 2.0 lighthouses now sweep 90 times a second?
rough pulsar
Possibly? With them not having to sync & interleave they can probably go up to higher speeds.
ruby burrow
The overall tracking computation for SteamVR apparently still goes up to 1000hz though, in between sweeps.
Which is crazy to think about, but I guess that's computers in general.
rough pulsar
The high frequency stuff is done by the IMUs as far as I know
dusty idol
What about the index ones?
vocal shard
hi
rough pulsar
Uses the new sensors, can work in both modes depending on which lighthouses are used.

That's how everyone should have their settings set up

same with NEEDIN G to have a vpn (not that everyone doesn't already use one)

then what
slate verge
@tiny crescent i'm not sure what you mean by avatar show up on corner of screen, but thats how you view your current avatar. Anything you upload is under Personal.
ruby needle
i belive they mean a camera
small wing
Stream camera.
ruby needle
but not the vr camera, some people put a littel screen on the corner and a camera pointed at the back to see whats going on
tiny crescent
i watched a youtuber named lolathon and his avatar is on the corner of his screen
ruby needle
Thats something they put on the avatar
slate verge
ohhh....isn't that a vr headset feature?
ruby needle
It's not a game function
tiny crescent
yeah i have a vr headset
ruby needle
you could technically use the vr camera similarly
small wing
There is a greenscreen for it
slate verge
its complicated to explain, but i'm sure you can find a tutorial somewhere for it.
small wing
Alternatively you could run a vtuber app
Not really tied to vrchat at that point so you could have your avatar in other games if you stream too
ruby needle
Knowing that you mean in a stream / video would have been good beforehand 
But yea, greenscreen or alpha (but that can be bugged a bit) with the VR Camera
And then capture the desktop
small wing
Lol just write a stencil shader with an excessively high render queue then. xD (Overkill fix)
Make it so it only show's the greenscreen with a stencil on the camera's shader = profit
tiny crescent
how do i do that
small wing
But i don't see much an issue with using vrchat's stream cam green screen tho
If you don't know how to code shaders already then use the stream cam.
tiny crescent
ok thanks
ruby needle
Ideally you'd use teh alpha one as to what i hear mean you can capture it with game capture (not window capture) as actual alpha
so no chroma keying needed
however, it can have issues with some avatars beeing semi transparent
small wing
😮
ruby needle
which is a bummer 
tiny crescent
ok thanks for your time
ruby needle
As said, aAlpha mode still has some issues with avatar parts beeing semi transparent sometimes with some avatars, so i would propably also use a color key

Hi, I like vrchat and a few days ago I downloaded it and entered the game, but it was slow. I would like to know if there is any method to play and if the game works well in my processor is: CPU N3050 Intel (R) Celeron (R) to 1.60GHz 1.60 GHz
Does it work with 4GB of RAM, does the game run on my PC with those requirements?
rigid crescent
Basically no
slate verge
@humble sail no sadly, vrchat requires 8gbram or higher. You will likely still stutter due to the cpu's ghz's.
8gb ram at minimum
humble sail
Too bad, and I would have liked to play it 😦
slate verge
can always come back some day really

@covert linden I have no idea what you mean on the second half of your statement

um im having some issue with an oculus rift i need to install it on another drive because it doesn't have enough space but its not really clear how to do that
slate verge
@mellow junco i am online right now actually
i'm going to hang out in the great pug map
what is your in-game name
covert linden
@teal carbon google has tons of answers
vocal shard
they still doing maintenance? cause i have problem loggin in
slate verge
according to the time, uh..it should've been over by now
vocal shard
welp im still having problems in game like i cant join any friends
and logging in takes ages
covert linden
@vocal shard have you cleared your cache
covert linden
Try whats in #vrchat-support including restarting your router
slate verge
oh no hm..

aaaanf again.

cedar thicket
It almost looks like I'm not meant to play this on a Core i3-4000M with integrated graphics
ruby needle
with integrated graphics not really, no
cedar thicket
It somehow runs. I get 30-40fps on most maps
ruby needle
Then why do you think you're not meant to play this on it... thats rather good for a not all too modern Laptop with integrated graphics.
covert linden
ouch
cedar thicket
720p DesktopLow settings
covert linden
I used to get 11fps it was good times
ruby needle
yeah, 30-40 is definitely not bad
cedar thicket
Although sometimes I do have random crashes
covert linden
well for a system like that, its pretty good that you even get that
cedar thicket
Heavier maps give me 20-25fps
mellow junco
@slate verge I'm Discordya but not on atm
cedar thicket
I am surprised at how many games this HD4600 iGPU can run
vocal shard
have windows?
slate verge
@mellow junco oh alright, i'll leave you a friend request
cedar thicket
back to The Great Pug I go
covert linden
it wasnt a formal update so there is no difference, its likely a networking thing
of course they have windows Rad.
vocal shard
ah
covert linden
how else would they play vrchat
slate verge
oh my, underage kids in the great pug oh no
covert linden
oh no
vocal shard
lol
rigid crescent
Underaged people are pretty common lol
prisma lake
question does anyone know how long it takes after doing an account upgrade to get access to uploading custom avatars?
ruby needle
Becoming verified by the trust system is based on reaching a not time based trust score, which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.
You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner with your VRChat account, walking around, meeting people and also making some friends. Idling won't help.
According to many responses in this discord, a rough estimate would be ** 20-40 hours**, but big exceptions are possible.
Make sure you are not using a steam or oculus account because those can not be verified and continue playing the game until you get a notification or e-mail.

Fpaul how dare u beat me I scrolled up to copy thaat xD
rigid crescent
Yeah I'm always confused when it takes some people dozens of hours.
prisma lake
guess i better go log into vr chat on my vr system and clock some time
unless thers a way to relink my unity account with my active vrchat account
covert linden
You cant get time off of unity, you need to spend time being active ingame
being idle will get you nothing
hollow breach
I was was being idle in vrc one time, went to get some food, I come back with a discord msg.
It was a gif of my afk body getting t-bagged
It was quite interesting
@slate verge imagine under aged people in the void club O_o
slate verge
that is illegal haha
hollow breach
Oh wait I’ve done that lol, the adults felt uncomfortable around me : 3
But now I’m an adult, they have to accept me now!
dusty idol
You simply MUST accept me now, fellow adults.
vocal shard
hello, i'm new to this game :D
i dont get whats the big deal with void, i aint ever been there
hollow breach
Well uh, just don’t go there
dusty idol
I have my Adult Card right here.
vocal shard
what's the void club?\
dusty idol
One Alcohol, please
vocal shard
i have my child card right here
and im going straight there
hollow breach
@vocal shard welcome to the game, whatever u do, don’t go to the void club
dusty idol
I went to Void once. Confused the hell out of me.
vocal shard
but now i just want to go even more :c
vocal shard
it's too late for that
dusty idol
There is something you aren't telling us, Original
hollow breach
D :
vocal shard
btw how do i get a nicer looking avatar? i literally just opened up the game idk how stuff works :D
hollow breach
Open up worlds, scroll down to avatar worlds, look through them
vocal shard
tyty i'll do that :3
hollow breach
Whatever world looks interesting, join that world then take a look at those avatars
dusty idol
Or make your own to upload when you're blue
vocal shard
yea i need to wait to get that permission
hollow breach
Pick the one u like, if u like it a lot, you can favourite it, so u have it on u at all times
dusty idol
I can't find any more Nanachi avatars that aren't annoying
hollow breach
Ur welcome, because I helped u, u must do this one thing for me
Don’t ever go to the void club
vocal shard
original
you are tempting everyone something fearcily
after i get a nanachi avatar im going there
hmmm i will consider it if you tell me what's it about xD
cause otherwise i can't promise that :D
slate verge
smh this game
hollow breach
touched
vocal shard
that's it?
hollow breach
What do u mean that’s it?!?!?
vocal shard
LOL
hollow breach
I got touched places!
vocal shard
you got touched xD i thought you got like raped or something in there judging by how you reacted xD
hollow breach
It was scary
vocal shard
who wasnt been touched in vrchat
hollow breach
I got touched in my no no spot ;;
vocal shard
how old are you?
hollow breach
18
vocal shard
okay just making sure xD it's okay :3
just don't go to places that touch your no no spots
dusty idol
The Nanachi I keep finding have weapons or sound expressions
broken sail
What about personal space to protect your no no spots?
modern sand
#general-media please
broken sail
and you see where that road goes... 😉
dusty idol
... This is a strange conversation in general
slate verge
some guy just crashed me, that was rude
hollow breach
Rip
broken sail
I vote to rename personal space to no no spot protector....
vocal shard
Yo sombody ther
hollow breach

dusty idol
Backtrace him, @slate verge
slate verge
@dusty idol can't, no proof and wasn't prepared to do anything
hollow breach
Logs : 3
slate verge
he just came up to me and called me a little f-er and then crashed
dusty idol
Wow.. Rude
But I'll just turn the other cheek, because I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in...
slate verge
someone was right, most purple users are actually assholes for some reason cuz this guy was.
dusty idol
I'm blue and naive.
vocal shard
i don't even have VR, i decided to play this cause a friend told me i can play it without D:
Hi
hi :D
dusty idol
I sometimes play on desktop when my controllers are low
vernal forge
you can try a lot of games mode and dance world without vr
vocal shard
when you are stuck playing desktop for another 2 weeks because shipping
dusty idol
Waiting in HTC to ship full body trackers
covert linden
Desktops fun lol
slate verge
i honestly think desktop is sometimes more fun than vrheadset, i don't understand why some people don't really see that
dusty idol
I disagree. Much prefer my HMD
covert linden
I also feel much more social in desktop
vocal shard
when you can't ever play VR cause your laptop is just a potato and can't handle it :3
vernal forge
VR is superior because i can exercise my head patting rights
slate verge
the thing with desktop is, we can multi-task directly on discord as well
buoyant slate
when you dont have a vr set
vocal shard
^
slate verge
vrheadset is fun when you are planning to have more interactive activities in-game
vocal shard
sure but that won't help me that my laptop isn't compatible :v so i can't use vr headsets
dusty idol
Bummer
covert linden
No
I prefer desktop for most.ingame vrc games and for social interactions, I prefer vr when I wanna cuddle. thats really it
And a lot of even shitty laptops can run vr chat. Just not well
11fps club
dusty idol
Slideshow Club
vocal shard
wow xD
covert linden
11fps isnt bad when you ger used to it
ruby needle
11 definitely is bad
dusty idol
Would make me sick
ruby needle
isn't 11 also the lowest the counter can show (so might be actually lower)
unsure if i have ever seen lower.
At some number of frames it didn't reallyget any lower while still getting worse in reality
covert linden
Nor when you get used to it
I had 11 ingame and I was used to it and didnt even notice
15 to me looked super smooth
ruby needle
Beeing able to adapt and accept it doesnt mean its less bad tho.
covert linden
It is in a user presepctive
ruby needle
you definitely want to at least get into teh 25-30 frame area to call it ok
covert linden
Yeah I knoww but I didnt mind
ruby needle
Thats okay 
rigid crescent
Bigboi FPS on the airship lol
hollow breach
Use to run VR with gtx 760 for a year and a bit, it was quite good tbh
Low FPS wasn’t that bad, still looked good
Just when I get to the 15-10 area, those are big oofs
vernal forge
slide show look good too when in HD
dusty idol
1080ti. Frames drop hard in crowds. It is hard to stomach 35fps
hollow breach
I upgraded to a 2070 recently
And must say, not that much improvement
Cause SOMEONE made vrchat CPU HEAVY
dusty idol
I'm in an 8700 I think?
covert linden
@hollow breach thats minimum for vr so eeh
hollow breach
i know, its good for other VR games, just not VRChat ;;
covert linden
Cuz other games rely more on gpu, im lucky the games cpu heavy because my gpu is ass
hollow breach
i know and i like those games : 3
covert linden
I havent played any others vrc ia my life
vocal shard
only similar game i played was second life and that isn't vr, tho vrc feels similar so far xD
vocal shard
why not :3
dusty idol
Client performance, expensive. Drama everywhere.
vocal shard
oh
hmm that's sadly true :v and on top of that half dead by now
well i was just here to tell everybody hi
hi :D
tho i have to say im getting really annoyed at how much vrc stutters and freezes in some worlds -_-
covert linden
At lleasr it runs on your system
vocal shard
what you mean? the game doesn't run for you? :o
There’s an avatar on vrchat that I really want
dusty idol
I would like to be done with work so I can study moar 3D modeling
covert linden
No game runs perfectly for me. But some with terrible systems cant run it
vocal shard
ohhh :c i see i see
is there something i can do to increase the performance tho? i mean apart from closing other programs._.
dusty idol
Use safety to hide avatars.
daring pawn
hey yall
what vr headsets do you use?
only had vrchat for a day and I'm tired o bein flexed on
daring pawn
I'm lookin into Windows Mixed Reality rn
covert chasm
i use rift, vive, pimax, quest 
if you had to buy one right now, today, i'd buy rift
that's IMO
if you can wait about 1.5-2.5 months, get an index
dusty idol
I'm using the vive pro. Index comes in next month
daring pawn
isn't index like $1000
dusty idol
A full kit, yea
daring pawn
guess that's the price you gotta pay tho for the best vr experience
covert chasm
index is the current high-end VR HMD
vocal shard
owo
covert chasm
well, it isn't out yet so i guess "current" isn't accurate
daring pawn
it's like buying a second PC lol
dusty idol
Hoping for full knuckle support
slate verge
jesus crackers thats terrifying, imagine someone using a zombie avatar and they are vrheadset user while afking. They're bodies are dangling everywhere.
covert chasm
vr isn't a cheap hobby haha
daring pawn
I have a 1050 Ti btw so I cant do anything too fancy
tidal aspen
you need a good PC as well
daring pawn
that's why I'm looking into Windows Mixed Reality
vocal shard
does anyone here have experience about if you can run rift with everything being okay except for the graphics card? like i ran the testing program and it said only the graphics card isn't ideal
daring pawn
seem to be cheaper ways to get decent vr
covert chasm
HP Reverb is apparently pretty good
dusty idol
There is decent for less if that is what you want
tidal aspen
some people run VR with lower than min spec but it’s not that great
vocal shard
hmm i see
are there alternatives? i dont really know anything about vr headsets
i just know the rift is recommended a lot
daring pawn
I mean isn't 1050 Ti below minimum lol
dusty idol
There is the quest coming out, right?
daring pawn
Rift used to be the thing to get
covert linden
No 10 50 ti is minimum
worthy oracle
weewoo
daring pawn
weird, thought 1060 was minimum
tidal aspen
quest is for out of the box no pc needed
worthy oracle
how is everyone today lol?
vocal shard
waw that similar name xD
covert linden
Technically the 9 70 is minimum
vocal shard
quest?
worthy oracle
oh hEy @vocal shard
daring pawn
I seem to have narrowed it down
tidal aspen
oculus quest
daring pawn
got the Lenovo Explorer and HP WMR
vocal shard
ohh no pc needed for it, but how would i play vrc with that? owo
tidal aspen
VRchat is coming to the quest
covert linden
daring pawn
welp no oculus for me lol
vocal shard
ohhh do you know when that will happen?
tidal aspen
not gonna be the same experience since there’s gonna be PC only content
daring pawn
was a bit out of my price range anyway
vocal shard
that could be a working alternative for me omg
daring pawn
I've only tried vr once
covert linden
The quest is costly as well.
tidal aspen
probably when the quest releases idk
worthy oracle
i’m confusion wut’s happening
tidal aspen
quest is way less costly than getting a VR ready pc + headset
covert linden
Thats true, but its still costly to people who cant get a vr ready pc
I want the rift S but its 600$ Canadian lol
vocal shard
@worthy oracle idk what other people are talking about, i was just talking to dafirex about vr alternatives if my pc can't handle it :3
tidal aspen
~400 cost vs ~1500 cost is way more affordable
covert linden
$400usd for a quest is a lot for peoppe who dont have a job
And no, you can get a vr ready pc for 700, and a headset for 300. Bam only 1k
worthy oracle
@vocal shard oh i see haha, are you new or have you been around?
vocal shard
im new i just joined :D
dusty idol
I would argue VR is hard to get into without a job periods.
worthy oracle
lmao vrchat is very random, you’ll have random funny encounters, meet toxic people, and some really wholesome people but it’s great
@dusty idol unless you’re blessed and get spoiled with it
wish that was me lol
daring pawn
alright
dusty idol
I'll have to sell my pro setup soon
daring pawn
Lenovo Explorer looks like a fucking steal
vocal shard
im in college rn, I'll definitely get a better pc + vr once i graduate and work full time, i was just curious if there's something i could get rn already to jump in on the fun :D
covert linden
The lenovo is super good ive got the acer brand and I adore it
No sensor life makes me happy
vocal shard
and yea @worthy oracle i already met some rude people in the first world i joined xD
daring pawn
fuck I guess the controllers will up the cost a bit
covert linden
Controllers come with it dont they..?
daring pawn
apparently you can get just the headset
worthy oracle
It do be like that sometimes
covert linden
Ive never seen them come seperate. Mine said (just headset) but had the controllers
daring pawn
dunno why you'd want just that but eh
covert linden
Read the questions and reviews. It likely comes with controllers.
Mine said the same thing but meant that it doesnt have sensors, it does have controllers at least in my case
daring pawn
yeah sensors sound annoying
dusty idol
I'm aok with sensors. I have them on photo tripods
covert linden
I dont wanna pay more, to get extendors and adhesives just for limitwd roomscale
Whereas I can have cameras and go anywhere
dusty idol
How much space do you have? 10 square meters?
covert linden
6footx6foot
vocal shard
rip how many meters is that
dusty idol
1.8 meters
vocal shard
oo thanks :3
covert linden
But I cant sit on my desk with sensors, I cant go beyond them. I can sit on my.desk or bed with roomscale cameras
dusty idol
Fair enough I suppose
covert linden
Oculus also has a small playspace.
dusty idol
Excited to try new ckntrollers
covert linden
The knuckles?
dusty idol
Yes
covert linden
Theyre pretty neat
dusty idol
I want a smaller controller in general. As it is, the rings are big
torn schooner
hey guys be careful, I got crashed by someone recently so badly it blue screened my pc. Not sure how but it happened
dapper stump
Why would you sit on the desk ._.
covert linden
@torn schooner Thats a system error not because od the crash
@dapper stump because my laptop goes on the table in front of my bed and I dont have a chair
torn schooner
really? shit man he came up to me and blasted me with something and then big blue
I'll take your word for it though since its a much scarier thought that someone could do that lol
covert linden
They cannot crash you to the extent where your system gets blue screened
dusty idol
Likely gpu driver failure. Nvidia has been pretty rough these past few months
topaz meadow
Guys, these whole "omg crashers are super crazt smrt" bull needs to end. There is no "backend" they are using, there is no crazy hacking involved. They just know how to fill vram and cause logical errors with shaders.
If I keep hearing this "omg he haxd the pentagon and got my address" BS, my head will explode
umbral reef
@topaz meadow But them hackers killed my best friends goldfish!
dusty idol
People will always freak out on things they don't understand. It's not going to stop.
umbral reef
The smaller VRC communities spreading and promoting the fake news related to these things for sure also do not help. If the admins/staff in those communities debunked the claims loads more users would be properly informed.
I cant count anymore in how many smaller communities have just flat out copy pasted a rumor to 'inform' there users.
Its sad not everyone is in this discord to get proper information 🤷

how do I report someone on vrchat
ruby needle
Is this question a joke
I directed you to a channel on your original conversation you had in public lobby
I recommend reading it.
Im not linking it because i like linking channels.
So read #moderation-reports
Thank you.
ruby needle
Am i air today 
candid acorn
so I wonder. If I have an MKV video hosted, and I pump that link into one of the many worlds with a theater, would people who dont support MKV, (dont have VLC, or appropriate drivers, etc) have trouble playing the video?
dusty idol
I would expect it to fail
ruby needle
As MKV is only a container for mostly h264 most stuff supports it.
It's a thing about the player beeing able to open / read the container format.
Unsure exactly about vrchat tho, but i would expect AVPro to support it.
candid acorn
I did a movie night last week, and a few people had issues. wondered how much might just be the game and theater, and if it being mkv had anything to do with it.
irrelevant at this point I guess. next time is MP4 anyway
ruby needle
Was it only your MKV and others worked for them? (on the same player / world)
candid acorn
it was just that movie, we didnt really play other things
movie took a bit to load up but some people just never had it load no matter how long they stayed
ruby needle
If it was the new type of player and they where on windows 7 that might also be a possible thing that happend
candid acorn
I made sure to use the old one
ruby needle
hmm. then it's interesting that it played for some but not others
candid acorn
could just be the typical bugs and glitches of that sort of thing I guess.
ruby needle
Unfortunately haven't worked much with that so can't talk too much about that.

median basalt
Didn't the devs say that report and trust rank abuse would be detected and prevented? 🤔
Because I got blocked by a modded client user and that got me demoted to Known User
Not sure what he did, I wasn't even online
near sky
Sorry to hear that.
From a systematic level it's hard to differentiate between use and abuse on that level. A little unrealistic even. The use of the modded client wouldn't factor in since if the service knew that and verified lack of client integrity here they wouldn't be there to block you in the first place. - I'd think that by 'abuse' the idea is moreso mass-blocking of many people, or mass-blocking of one person via many accounts. I don't know if there's a system in-place per-say to solve this yet. There may be, although I'd think it's primarily on an individual-case basis.
median basalt
Well for all I know, he could have spam blocked and unblocked me within that timeframe
It feels extremely unfair to block one person and be demoted to Known
Literally blocking a known hacker and getting demoted to Known over it, this is a fucking joke.
I emailed moderation@vrchat.com but I'm not even sure if that's the right place. I do hope they'll take this seriously
I've been Trusted User for like 9 months now, ever since the ranks came out
near sky
On first-hearing I'd think you were probably in a bad position for ranking, near 'the line', and an individual block was enough to push you over. If you've been in the Trusted Category for 9 months now that pokes a bit of hole in that thought, unless you don't move enough score-wise past the Trusted Line once you arrive there. Could be.
Good idea on that email -I hope that sorts it out for you.
median basalt
I rarely block people and I rarely get blocked.
near sky
I wouldn't at all think recursively blocking somebody would continually remove trust. It likely removes a given amount on block, and reallocates a given amount on unblock -that's the only scalable way to implement that.
median basalt
The guy definitely blocked me back while I was offline which must have caused this
Not even blocking people is safe anymore.
Blocking a hacker no less
median basalt
I also still see trusted crashers
near sky
Yeah; there're a number of them
median basalt
Glad that the trust system got me out of the way though, just some guy who blocks hackers
lunar shell
I really dislike the trust system. 320 hours in and still user.
vocal shard
That's normal
I only got trusted after 900 hours and over 100 models uploaded so just play more
lunar shell
I'm just looking for known not even trusted.
vocal shard
Known is probably around 500 ish
lunar shell
I feel forced to keep my unknown friends list in tact and friend anybody. Lol.
vocal shard
Or just not care about being a user
lunar shell
I don't really. But it's annoying.
near sky
As Paul said; factor isn't as much time as it is activity
vocal shard
Active time then
lunar shell
I am too active. I don't talk much. Just dance.
median basalt
It's hard not to care when you like avatar making but get stuck at a lower rank and 99% of players won't see the stuff you make correctly
I'm tired of "hurr durr why are your glasses opaque white" comments
You absolutely have to friend everyone and never block
near sky
@vocal shard No, I mean how somebody spends their time, not time being spent active. ^^ - Certain activities; publishing avatars when possible, time spent in public (including Friends+ worlds), friend requests received, (supposedly) people joining on you, etc
vocal shard
I've been blocked over 500 times and never gone down in trust
So I think you're fine
median basalt
I'm literally not fine because I got demoted
vocal shard
L
rain palm
Wait, Rokk you got demoted? You're real active in the community.
median basalt
I blocked a hacker via the website while being away from the game for a week. I come back and I'm demoted. Check the API and the guy blocked me back.
I think he must have done something weird. I already sent a moderation email but I'm not sure if I will be taken seriously.
And yes, I got demoted. I know I'm active, I had trusted for 9 months (ever since the system released). I always said it was toxic, but I didn't expect to get caught on the bad end of the toxicity myself.
rain palm
That's weird. You've played for ages, have world and models. And I know it doesnt help but you're super active on discord, helped me and plenty of others over the last year.
median basalt
Yeah I know :/
I literally see crashers and stealers with a higher trust rank than me, it just proves that the ranks were a mistake. There's no way any of them will see it that way though.
rain palm
Its whack. I've had trusted since implementation too, knowing it can go that easily is a little eh..

what is with the issue with my friends who are online being shown offline
its super frustrating when im trying to join them
candid acorn
the rank system was dumb to start with i still feel
near sky
Controversial, although I do think it serves a purpose
candid acorn
all it does is create classes. and a certain elitism. more than once ive seen people discriminate on rank. "oh lemme block all the grey/blue ranks to increase performance"
or someone say "i see that purple name, you must have cool avatars" etc
vocal shard
same i've got like.. 5000+hrs and i dont trust anyone.. if it helps.
near sky
"oh lemme block all the grey/blue ranks to increase performance" This is a more common occurrence I feel like.
I think rewarding longer-term players and content creators is a good idea. I have seen the elitism you're talking about and think you're running a valid argument.
I expect player-base division is inevitable, and there are wider problems for people that look down on player rank. - Would expect it would make a lot of sense changing the Trust and Safety system as to not act off rank (at all or predominately) but to act off optimization of avatar -for which there's now a reasonable system to judge. Exceptions for those on your friends list makes sense; but mechanics encouraging restriction off-of rank sanctions off experience, brings more awareness to rank (as opposed to rank just being a time/contribution indicator). Makes it a bottleneck.
It makes enough much sense there's possibly already some plan to go that direction. I'd be surprised if it hasn't been thought about. ^^
It's a lot more in line with what other social avatar-based games are doing. Namely "avatar complexity" in SecondLife, IMVU. - HighFidelity too afaik.
