@vocal shard Do those settings (VRHigh, VRLow, DesktopLow) change the VR visuals, or just the mirrored display?

rough pulsar
#

Everything

#

VRLow makes LODs pop in and out way closer than is reasonable, some objects you literally have to be on top of to get them to show LOD0

faint skiff
#

Whoops. That would explain why everything looked so terrible lately. I thought these settings were only for the mirror display quality. Better change that back. Does the resolution have any affect as well then?

rough pulsar
#

Not much, as far as I know (as I said earlier) the desktop mirror is just a pixel-for-pixel copy of one of the VR eyes and shouldn't incur any significant extra computational cost

covert blade
#

Is it normal that the option "Allow avatar cloning" still allows cloning of public avatars even when the option is disabled?

rough pulsar
#

Some have reported that the desktop window size does have an effect on perf

faint skiff
#

@covert blade I had that issue. You need to cycle the option as it's broken sometimes.

covert blade
#

So like, tick and untick it a few times?

faint skiff
#

@rough pulsar But the resolution chosen here doesn't affect the visual quality of VR?

covert blade
#

Because I disabled it and then people still cloned my avatar

faint skiff
#

@covert blade Just once, otherwise it's likely to "desync" again

covert blade
#

So I enable it, then disable it and I should be good, right? Ok

faint skiff
#

Yup, I'd get someone to confirm by trying though

covert blade
#

Ok thx

rough pulsar
#

@faint skiff No, VR resolution is controlled in an entirely different way

faint skiff
#

@rough pulsar Ok thanks

faint skiff
#

Hah. Looks like you can modify the registry to force a lower resolution

vocal shard
faint skiff
#

VRChat now runs at 320x200 😛

opaque hawk
#

One time I played in windowed mode and made it like 50x1920

vestal sleet
#

I use stream camera to dance with so I have to keep the resolution high :c I wish I have a better gpu than a 1060

faint skiff
#

What is "Stream camera?" I've seen it mentioned a few times

vestal sleet
#

It just a camera

opaque hawk
#

In vr mode you can spawn a camera that looks like the picture camera, but instead of taking pictures it takes over the duplicate display

#

Great for video capture

faint skiff
#

Ahh

languid beacon
#

@faint skiff I manually size the window corners with the mouse. Before I put the headset on

#

It remembers and will stay that way for every new launch (assuming the game doesn’t crash then exit size isn’t saved)

#

You can get it pretty tiny

faint skiff
#

I'm worldbuilding at the moment so I need it sized normally between tests. It's fine though, I've created a registry file that overrides the window size back to tiny so I can run that when I need it tiny again.

languid beacon
#

How do you guys think a gtx 970 would run an index? Friend is telling me it’s not worth getting unless I upgrade my GPU

faint skiff
#

Badly - It's the minimum spec for the original Vive

#

And even then I find my 980Ti often inadequate

#

The Index has slightly higher requirements for the same games due to the higher res. Then ideally you'll want more than the bare minimum for supersampling anyway,

#

(sorry to be the bearer or bad news - I'm in the same boat and will likely be upgrading before my Index arrives too)

vestal sleet
#

970 wouldn't run a index at all

faint skiff
#

It would, the Index isn't that much higher res than the original Vive, but you'd be limited in what you could play.

covert linden
#

Its the fov that makes it a big deal

#

But you should definately get a new gpu imo

faint skiff
#

The FOV doesn't change from the Vive to the Index, at least not as far as rendering is concerned. It's a physical change wherein the design of the index allows you to see more of the screen(s) and thus increases the FoV.

vestal sleet
#

The index is alot higher Rez then the vive

#

A 970 wouldn't even run wmr ngl

covert linden
#

They run an oculus on their 970 @vestal sleet

vestal sleet
#

Not to mention the index can run at 144h and you miss a entire selling point

#

Right and oculus is alot lower rez than wmr

#

Wmr run at 1440p and you looking at a 1070 ish

covert linden
#

I run the wmr on a 1050.. wouldnt reccomend. 40fps avg

vestal sleet
#

Well I mean running and playing is different right

#

You can 'run' but would u be able to 'play ' and enjoy no not really

#

R u running on default sample or under sample @covert linden

covert linden
#

Default, but when I do change it, it doesnt change my fpz at all

#

But I got a new vr ready system the other day

vestal sleet
#

Oh

#

Honestly 1070 is recommend on wmr

#

A 2070ti is recommend for index lol

covert linden
#

Going from 8gb ram, i7 8750h, 1050, to a 2600, 16gb ram, and a 1660ti

vestal sleet
#

Oh I am not sure 2600 is better tho

#

VRChat eat cpu

covert linden
#

It is better

vestal sleet
#

And is not nice to amd

#

Vr system in general is not nice to AMD

covert linden
#

Its not a system for vrchat

vestal sleet
#

Ya I guess

covert linden
#

Its a workstation pc.

vestal sleet
#

But VR is all one needmatsix

covert linden
#

Nah

faint skiff
#

@vestal sleet Almost no GPUs can run the Index at 144 unless it's something super simple like Space Pirate Trainer

vestal sleet
#

Not on VRchat but simple like beat Saber ya

#

People say that the 144hz rly matter in fast paced beat Saber game

#

Although always remember SLI is a thing if u r rich...

umbral reef
#

Nothing runs VRchat good so lmao

languid beacon
#

The FoV is increased on index. More of the world is being rendered at once. That means less things are cullled

#

Compared to rift anyway I don’t know about vive

#

Thanks for the input. I think a 1k headset and a gpu upgrade is out of what’s possible for me

faint skiff
#

@languid beacon What I said before about the FoV applies if you're transitioning from the Vive to the Index. AFAIK going from Rift to Index would mean that more has to be rendered.

atomic loom
#

bruh

harsh cove
#

I'm trying to make vrchat run on my pc at at least 10 fps
but like, best I can do with DesktopLow and 320x200 is 3 fps lol
Can anyone help me?
CPU: i7 2630QM
GPU: Radeon HD 6700m 2gb
It should run decent but for some reasons is getting no more than 3 fps

faint skiff
#

That CPU is passable but that GPU is ancient and may be missing features that VRChat needs (and slows it to a crawl without them).

harsh cove
#

one of my friend is doing 15 fps without dedicated gpu

#

I refuse to believe an intel integrated (not even a new one) is more powerful than my gpu

faint skiff
#

Do you remember which Intel integrated card it was?

harsh cove
#

No, but it doesn't really matter

#

Few years old integrated INTEL gpu shouldn't be more powerful than a 2012 dedicated gpu

faint skiff
#

Oh they can be. I've got a NUC which easily outclasses that GPU

languid beacon
#

Yeah nothing strange about a computer having a faster cpu than gpu. Typically not game-focused machines

harsh cove
#

A nuc is not a low end laptop from few years ago

faint skiff
#

Also 6700M is still a mobile GPU so it would be lower power anyway

#

NUCs typically have almost the same hardware as laptops, so close enough

harsh cove
#

Omg

#

Wait

faint skiff
#

(comparing a 650 to a 6770M as opposed to a 655 to a 6700M) and even then the Intel iGPU wipes the floor with it.

#

Nearly 80% faster. If you compared the right cards, I'd expect it to be well over 100% faster.

harsh cove
#

Hold on a sec

#

Could it be running on the integrated gpu instead of the dedicated one?

faint skiff
#

Yes

#

That's something of a common issue. Open the control panel for the graphics card and set it to use the dedicated GPU. AFAIK that GPU only has legacy driver support now though (another reason why performance would suck) so not sure how easy it is to do that. Also that only applies if the laptop has "switchable" graphics.

vestal sleet
#

wait r u playing desktop or vr

harsh cove
#

Of course desktop

#

I set everything to performance, found the exe of vrchat, set it to performance, everything else to performance, still getting 3 fps at 320×200

vestal sleet
#

what fps u get by disabling everything

harsh cove
#

Disabling what?

vocal shard
#

;lc

harsh cove
#

I get 3 fps at desktop low, res 320×200 everything else closed expect hwmonitor to make sure my pc doesn't melt

#

Windowed mode too
3 fps
I reduce it to something like something × 100 pixels and I get 6 fps
That seems too strange to me

#

Maybe something wrong with the driver?

brothers we must rise

#

our beans have been taken away

#

we must earn them back

cold talon
#

But its more confy to not rise

inner cape
#

um

#

baka, what have you become?

near saffron
#

A gamer clearly

vocal shard
#

yes a true gamer

small wing
#

Bean's dont rise, they get revenge and make an entire movie about killing eachother

#

Killer Bean was a good movie, change my mind.

#

Also yall are using the VRChat discussion for non vrchat things reeeeeee

vocal shard
#

who says beans and vr chat aren't the same thing

small wing
#

👀

#

boi did u just

#

put a space

vocal shard
#

yes i did

small wing
#

in vrchat

vocal shard
#

i admit my sins

small wing
#

this man is not a true gamer

#

he puts a space in VRChat

vocal shard
#

i play vrchat and roblox at the same time

#

i am the truest gamer

small wing
#

oh yeah? well i play VRChat on a roblox server rp so take that one buddy. 😩 👏

vocal shard
#

brother where have you been '

#

i need someone of your power to show me their ways

small wing
#

I play runescape in vrchat

#

totally serious

#

it's actually really easy

vocal shard
#

lemme join you my guy

small wing
#

And now i can no longer play runescape without being in vrc

#

cause its too bland

vocal shard
#

is that a no or a yes

small wing
#

in runescape?

vocal shard
#

yeah im bored

small wing
#

I would totally do that, but my account got reset so it's at base level and I also have Unity open right now working on some updates to my map.

#

Messing with mirror's trying to find ways to exploit dem reflections.

vocal shard
#

epic

small wing
#

trying to figure out a way to use it to achieve some more natural ways to reflect stuff other than just being a mirror to look at yourself in

#

like water reflections or a bumpy metallic floor

#

So far it's working with only a little bit of problems

#

if you are bored then you can check it out in "The Box RTX"

#

its a public world

#

it has a few more things in there too like a music visualiser and an avatar that pulls the music visuals with a custom shader.

#

oh and a spherical mirror cause heck ye

#

reflection probes are fun

runic geode
#

Yo, interesting info you just dropped @small wing

blissful jackal
#

my favorite part about vrc is all the mutual friends i have on discord

small wing
#

@runic geode Thanks man, I plan on putting out the asset's soon enough when they are finished.

#

Still trying to figure out how to work around the mirror's though

welcome to the space bar gang

awh hell nah, you said gang so now im out.

#

gangs are for losers

#

out here we got club's cause we are cool kids

inner cape
#

did I say gang? sorry i meant afterschool club

#

🗿

small wing
#

man the only thing i ever wanted to do after school was go home and lock myself in solitary confinement for the rest of the day.

#

going to make a world with 10,000 mirror's in it and still hit 90 fps, wish me luck.

#

totally serious btw, wish me luck cause i need it

inner cape
#

chernobyl sarcophagus is pretty confined I heard

umbral reef
#

Maybe learn how mirrors get rendered first

small wing
#

Already did

#

Now it's on to the shaders.

inner cape
#

my game became unplayable after having 9 mirrors I dont think you're gonna succeed

small wing
#

😏 what if i told you there is a sneaky way of doing it

vocal shard
#

I feel like making a New Runescape World on VRChat.

small wing
#

F

#

that is going to be a lot of ripping

vocal shard
#

I found out how to make Optimized Runescape Avatars with only 1 Material

inner cape
#

bruh

umbral reef
#

Its legit pressing a single button with Catsplugin

vocal shard
#

Make a RGB Color Pallete and then add noise and bevel texture

small wing
#

runescape asset's are so well encrypted its insane

inner cape
#

you can do that with any model technically

vocal shard
#

that's all you need for manual only

#

I have RS3 Textures but you can't put them on.

#

I have RS Classic to RS3

#

Over 500k files

umbral reef
#

Also should not talk about ripping stuff in this serber

small wing
#

@umbral reef Going to send you pictures if i get it working

#

I think its possible with how i have it in mind

vocal shard
#

Ye ripping is illegal.

umbral reef
#

Id love to see a way to get it done.

vocal shard
#

I have 20 years of files

small wing
#

its going to be a very cheeky work around

umbral reef
#

I know there are some janky ways to optimize mirrors already but unsure how a mirror v mirror would work

vocal shard
#

Also I already converted and organized most files of RS

#

I labeled them in section numbers

#

1 to 110k

#

Along with the Older Versions which follow a different number system.

#

RS3 is a hard one to define as it holds two types of Graphic Models || It holds NXT RS and Legacy RS models; NXT RS cannot be extracted

#

Legacy RS = Can be grabbed

#

I even labeled them of their types || So there are 8 types of RS Models

#

your in the box right

small wing
#

Nah man i'm in Unity rn making a shader

vocal shard
#

This is what 150 items look like.

#

I found a QUICKER way to make RS worlds now it'll make my workflow cleaner, efficient, and the pacing will cut the hours by half.

mental fossil
#

does anyone know a place to get a broccoli skin?

small wing
#

Sketchfab for sure

vocal shard
#

Could anyone dm me how to use the TVs in vrchat. It says use an URL and I do but it still doesnt play anything

#

the player might be broken

small wing
#

Frick you bot all i said was aaa.

#

"90 fps aaa"

ruby needle
#

well good luck geting that within the game tho 😃

small wing
#

It's already in, When i say 90 fps i mean in VR

#

not the unity editor 😏

#

I had to be really sneaky too getting it to run that well

#

It's been a concept I have been working on for the past week

#

Now all there is to do is scale it down because i made so many mirrors that its causing float errors haha

inner cape
#

inb4 thats just a reflective shader and not a vrc prefab mirror

small wing
#

See for yourself

#

its in community labs

tacit plank
#

You could have used one mirror and then a tiled ground texture I think

#

But if you made a mirror which doesn't run like ass, I'm sure that the VRChat team and every world builder is interested!

short wave
#

nobody is active on the avatar rigging i would like to know how to add a chest bone and the shoulders please , its 3 am i tried to make a model and now i have this prob ;-;

vocal shard
#

You’ll have to wait for someone to respond

short wave
#

. ok

small wing
#

@tacit plank VRChat themselves probably know how i did it already, they are really smart.

#

But once this is finished I actually want to put it out for the community to use.

tacit plank
#

If VRChat devs are smart, then I'll also claim that they're busy, because the quality of some things are questionable

#

I love this game and the devs though. And that's good to hear!

still lark
#

You can't have a mirror that doesn't run like ass

#

that's not how it works!

tacit plank
#

It can run better, but there's a limit to how fast it can be

#

But for example, the VRChat camera is way faster than a mirror, but seems to do the same

still lark
#

Not at all

small wing
#

All i can say for now is that there is some really cheeky stuff that I am doing

#

At the end of the day though, even 1 mirror is bad.

#

To re-iterate on what Scruffy said, I can vouch for the mirror's using a camera itself so there is nothing different there.

tranquil cobalt
#

What do you mean all you can say for now? Ya acting like there's an NDA 🤔

small wing
#

They only use the camera wall in the hub because it allow's them more control to adjust clipping distance and other stuff without re writing a script.

tranquil cobalt
#

You could just share your findings / show off exactly what you're trying to do if you found some new interesting quirk that might be useful to other creators so the ecosystem of content can get better!

small wing
#

Not when it's in beta testing.

#

I'm not releasing a prefab until I am happy with it.

#

Also scroll up, Already said i would share once it's done.

#

😏

tranquil cobalt
#

Fair enough!

small wing
#

There is more than just that which I am adding to the mirror's. I won't release it until I have everything in there that I wanna get.

still lark
#

I didn't say it was the same! (And it's not!)

small wing
#

The idea here is to eventually have it set up so people can make any effect they want that involves the reflections a mirror gives.

#

Reeeeeee I thought you told me it used a camera Scruffy!!!

still lark
#

It does

small wing
#

y u do dis

still lark
#

It's just not the same as a normal camera.

tranquil cobalt
#

Is it that the mirror is on one mesh, but they're split up so it looks like multiple mirrors?

vestal pier
#

bruh its just a mirror with a cutout texture

small wing
#

Yeah sorta

#

There u go Asis said it

vestal pier
#

i hate to ruin the fun

small wing
#

I'm not complaining.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

But ye I wanna get this pushed out soon with more than just the fake multi mirror stuffs

tranquil cobalt
#

Yeah, I was thinking that too! Although, it'd probably be more perf-efficient (I mean we're dealing with mirrors anyway at the end of the day) to avoid using any alpha anything and just split the actual mesh up for the prefab. I dunno if that'd break how mirrors work, though

small wing
#

Trying to add normal maps and possibly some options to turn off bloom in the mirror's cause VRC added that where it support's bloom but some people hate that.

#

Going to clamp it and see if it lets me

still lark
#

Nah, they won't batch KidKwazine.

small wing
#

Lol i like how i didn't see his name xD

#

I was like oh no Scruffy is angry 😮

tranquil cobalt
#

I mean keep it on the same object, but split it up within it. It'd still be one mesh, but could still be the grid (or whatever they wanted to do). Unless you mean VRC's implementation of mirrors would cause some other misc issues

small wing
#

It would still break sadly, I have tried.

#

Tried it on a sphere too, that get's weird fast.

still lark
#

Oh you could cut the mesh

tranquil cobalt
#

Ah damn, I had no clue what would happen but figured it'd be worth a shot vs using cutout

small wing
#

WAIT WAT

still lark
#

You just need the right stuff otherwise it goes bonkers.

small wing
#

😮

#

So it is possible then?!?!

tranquil cobalt
#

I haven't personally tested, but I'd give it a shot! It seems simple enough that surely SOMEONE has tried here

#

I imagine you couldn't do something like have multiple parts of the mesh facing each other, and have that work. I dunno much about how VRC does their mirrors, but if it's using a render texture and a single camera then you'll probably be restricted to keeping it on the same planar surface?

small wing
#

I think it moves the camera around though

#

so it has to be flat

tranquil cobalt
#

Maybe! I'd mess with it and check it out if I was on my PC with Unity, but you def should mess with it or search here and see if someone else has

faint skiff
#

Crashed out again. May as well end the night there.

faint skiff
#

Does anyone know what the crash.dmp actually contains?

#

Anyway, can't report it now as the ticket system appears to be broke, but if someone could tell whichever is the team member responsible for the site, http://help.vrchat.com/new doesn't work. It just says "test" and there's no form to fill in.

vocal shard
#

It's been made known ^^

#

Hi

vocal shard
#

I have decided to sell my 3D modeling Services for 1 dollar.

#

I Need to make 1,000 dollars before August

#

It took me 2 weeks to get out of my depression while Strategizing a plan.

#

Good luck with that

#

I am finally out of it; and my only solution is to sell my service for a dollar.

#

I might drop it to 50 cents.

#

Uh seek professional help

#

I will sell my 3D Avatar service for 50 cents to 5 dollars; I ask you don't give more than 5

#

The problem is I do not have a "Call-To-Action" to sell Avatar making

#

So I will need to think about the Call-To-Action;

#

I doubt you’ll find many customers considering you only make knuckles models

#

I don't just make Knuckles

#

I make Kermits too

#

Oh now that’ll open up a whole new customer base

#

Ye.

#

I’m being sarcastic

#

50 cents is still a good price.

#

I just lie to them it will take 5 to 8 hours.. when it will take 30 to 1 and half hours

#

That way; I have time to do any tweaking

#

Optimized Avatars; 1 Material; maybe a few meshes by my own choice; with special gestures for those meshes; 50 cents is a good price

#

so if we do the math..

#

How many avatars do I need to make every 50 cents?

desert stratus
#

dude, sell yourself more

#

you shouldn't ever be selling any kind of avatar work for less than like $10

#

in fact, i think 5-10 per avatar would be pretty fair

#

cup of coffee for meme

tranquil cobalt
#

Plus, if you have the skillset to make avatars, you could prob find more lucrative work on like Fiverr or something if you're in a rut

vocal shard
#

We gotta start on the basic line first

#

and work our way up. Just like how.. a Business ladder works.

#

You can take shortcuts of course, but it is better to go up the ladder

tranquil cobalt
#

Fiverr is like doing jobs specifically for people who are looking for your services tho, and it's generally like 5-20 dollar jobs iirc so it's not like you're getting a big work contract!

vocal shard
#

I've looked into it; however I was trying to find some "qualifers" inrl to be the ones to invest into being the people to do that; however, nobody around me is serious enough. Nor can I find an old man to wear a suit in front of a green-screen; fully mic'd, etc.

#

I have a bunch of suits if they dont got a suit

#

and with the gear I have; we could sell for a decent price of 20 a piece

#

3 camera angles; good lighting, good sound.

tranquil cobalt
#

I don't think it's just for people in suits in front of a green screen. I contracted some voice talent out from Fiverr for a project last year!

vocal shard
#

I even got a mic too; but I dont have a talented voice

#

I like finding people to do the things while I "design" it

#

they get 60% of the profit while I only get 40

tranquil cobalt
#

I'm pretty sure there is 3D stuff on there too, I don't fully remember. I'd check it out more

vocal shard
#

I told people I know about this 5 months ago that i wanted to do this but I am in need of people willing to go in front of a camera and create samples. I have all of this gear and it's not doing anything; it needs to make money.

#

Plus I can Rotoscope too; however, it is not a skill I haven't done in years;

#

THose services I will not sell for 1 dollar

desert stratus
#

@vocal shard if you wanna start on the basic line first, then thats fine. basic line is $5-$10 USD imo. you'd literally be underselling yourself around 7x less than minimum wage

vocal shard
#

Because that takes a lot of calculation perfection; while 3D modeling is different less effort

desert stratus
#

on top of that, dont oyu already sculpt and make your own assets? even clothes from scratch is something you should prob be charging $15 per piece for at the very least...

vocal shard
#

Oh I do that.

tranquil cobalt
#

Yeah, I would not be charging 1 dollar for roto. I do that occasionally for work, and it makes me want to die 🌞

vocal shard
#

Roto for 1 dollar is suicide

#

Even I wont sell it that low

#

Video Production = Never sell for 1 dollar; I just sell anything 3D for less

tranquil cobalt
#

I don't fully see the logic there because they're both crafts that require time to execute on (and a lot of time to learn)

vocal shard
#

Anyway I gotta make the Pamphret; and choose my best 3D models I ever made.

#

1 the Best knuckles; the best RS one; the best Kermit, the best Pre-made; the best boned flat one; on tier 3D modeling is my lowest skill set but it is my most used one.

#

I do it everyday; at a fast pace; optimized and all; but I do not consider it the best skill, it's a hobby skill

desert stratus
#

how much stuff do you do?? and where is your portfolio(s) 0~0

vocal shard
#

I am portfolio-less

desert stratus
#

do oyu atleast have like

#

galleries or anything ot show off

feral cloak
#

hi cuties

vocal shard
#

I was involved in galleries; and they were only photography

#

I do not do photography; and the photograhy I do our self-portraits of myself or Visual Art.

#

My Visual Art is my best = But I never sell it because there's no-one who wants to sell big

#

"Sell a big idea"

#

So I always think less of people for not thinking too outside of the box; mhm

#

Anyway; I do not have a Portfolio or any proof that I do things

#

I can only state I do things; when I do my own projects

#

I need to make sure that everyone has an input however, I learned that people are more "Cinematography" than artistically thinking digitally.

#

So in my stand-point I find people to be more about "What is right in front of them" rather imagining what is there.

#

My Storyboards and scripts have.. "precise" and "specific" details explainjing how something must be done; what angle; what frame of day, etc, etc. For example; example knowing the type of focal length to match another shot, to make seamless; however if someone doesn't understand, it ruins the entire content.

#

And then, I have to stress over how I want to edit everything and do all these effects.

#

Also, I have to keep in mind if I want to start to shoot when it is raining; sometimes you got to use the World arond you. The Geography and weather are both a double-edged sword; so.. basically, I would tell people.. "We will go out once it drops snow, that is when we shoot"

#

So when I write a script I have to think about the Environment, the Global Environment, what season it is; if it's Fall; I should write something for the Spring/Winter; if it's the summer; write something for the Fall/Winter

#

Anyway; I took a lot of shots of things in different environments in the Spring || Snowy Mountains, Oceans, Beaches, Chapparal Weather, Grassy Plains, forests, etc. Shot in many terrains in 3 days

Because I waited for Snow lol

Ye; I type 21 hours but i don't use Voice chat; but.. inrl I could talk for hours if someone kept keeping me talking

#

however in a mental state, I do not like speaking on VRChat because 1; my mic isn't on; 2 my voice ain't beefy lol; people love my voice, however, I want more of an aggressive voice than the standard professional western cowboy soft voice that I got

#

3; I don't want to use the Computer/Laptop Mic; unless someone is asking for "How do you do this?"

Nope

vocal shard

Deleted all the grass, switched from realtime lighting to baked and... the performance tanked, lol.

snow wadi
#

Eh...is the grass a prefab?

#

I would pop in and check but I'm not home right now.

faint skiff
#

@snow wadi It was Unity painted grass, but I had to delete it because apparently grass doesn't work with baked lighting in VRChat.

snow wadi
#

Hmm

faint skiff
#

(it works with realtime, but you're not supposed to use realtime lighting on landscapes for performance reasons)

snow wadi
#

Is the grass animated?

faint skiff
#

By the wind. But keep in mind I've removed the grass, so that shouldn't really be an issue. Performance was fine with the grass and realtime lights, it's bad since removing the grass and switching to baked.

snow wadi
#

There could be something still being rendered, have you checked the heiarchy and made sure the grass prefab items are actually gone?

umbral reef
#

Never use real time lights for worlds

faint skiff
#

Yeah, you "unpaint" them. They don't show up as objects in hierarchy.

#

@umbral reef Hence why I changed, but that means loss of grass which sucks. It looked pretty before.

tranquil cobalt
#

I think I mentioned this to you in #world-development, but you can still use + bake grass if you manually place or paint the cards out as static game objects. Only real difference is that Unity's terrain system isn't managing 'em

#

No idea why your perf tanked after you removed grass, though. 🤔 Have you tried profiling in Unity?

faint skiff
#

Not yet. I didn't notice the issue until I jumped into it in VR at 3am last night / this morning.

#

As it seemed fine on desktop.

tranquil cobalt
#

Maybe some realtime light auto-magically turned back on or you accidentally went back to an older version of your project when Unity kept crashing on you where a realtime light was on.

faint skiff
#

Realtime is definitely off, you can immediately tell by how the shadows look.

vocal shard
#

mouse sensitivity

#

is not very good

tranquil cobalt
#

I had some issues with Bakery disabling realtime lights post-bake, but then they sneakily turned themselves back on when I loaded up the project again. It took me WAY too long to figure out what was adding all the frame time

#

I bet the profiler would yell it out at ya

faint skiff
#

I wonder if there's some way of taking the existing painted grass from before and turning it into a mesh or something so that I don't lose the layout of it, because it was pretty well done.

vocal shard
#

mouse sensitivity

faint skiff
#

@vocal shard Erm... sorry? Do you mean in my world? I'm not sure what would be affecting that other than if your framerate is tanked.

tranquil cobalt
#

I don't think grass uses splatmaps like the terrain texture stuff so I don't think there's a method besides straight out using an editor script to export the grass cards out as a mesh. I think it'd be one baked mesh though which is no good (because can't cull that out)

#

The prefab painters out there probably would give you more control in the end anyway! Just would have to redo that work which sucks

vocal shard
#

listen to him he knows what hes doing

#

i sure as hell dont

faint skiff
#

@tranquil cobalt New painting it is then. Well, once I've found out what's tanking the framerate right now. I'll nuke the Skybox first, then the postprocessing, then finally switch the landscape shader back.

vocal shard
#

@faint skiff good luck mate

faint skiff
#

@vocal shard Thanks

tranquil cobalt
#

Make sure your grass textures are all atlas'd when do the new painting if possible btw! Can put it all on one material, get 'em all batched + save on draw calls which is great especially when you're dealing with alpha cutouts

faint skiff
#

I've done atlassing in blender but not Unity so I'll see how it works there (unless you meant on the model itself, in which case I wouldn't expect grass to have multiple textures anyway).

tranquil cobalt
#

If you just go in play mode and just move your cam around, you can seek around and the profiler should basically yell at you what the issue is

#

Yeah! You can go into Blender, create a bunch of planes. Have them all share a UV / material but the actual plane meshes can be separate. Each plane mesh can be a different type of grass and you can split each mesh into a prefab.

vocal shard
#

is it bad that i don't understand a word of this

idk what that means but it kinda sounds like an insult

faint skiff
#

@tranquil cobalt Thanks. I'm honestly amazed I managed to get a decently done avatar in the time I did too. It's mostly a kitbash (but with a decent amount of vertex editing as well) but it's all rigged up properly, dynamic bones, etc. So I'm happy with it for now until I can build more on it.

tranquil cobalt
#

I was responding to @faint skiff because they said they were new to Unity + Blender, and have only been working within it for a week

Nice! VRChat is honestly great for experimenting + learning new stuff re: game dev. I work in like a neighboring field for work, and was always curious about crossing over. VRChat is what really pushed me down the rabbit hole

vocal shard
#

i jusy came here bc i don't have friends

faint skiff
#

Unity is actually much easier than I was expecting. But getting it from Unity into VRChat in a usable state and making the two actually resemble each other seems to be the hard part, lol.

tranquil cobalt
#

It's great for people getting into game dev too because when you think about it; worlds are basically small-scale titles with training wheels. It has a "guaranteed" player base with limited liability of things having to work flawlessly

faint skiff
#

But with missing grass shaders shakes fist

vocal shard
#

i believe in you enver

#

how hard can grass be

faint skiff
#

Apparently it's easy, unless you're VRChat which is missing the shader required for it to render properly, lol

tranquil cobalt
#

I mean if you think of the VRC devs as your publishers (like EA), you can just pretend they're not allowing you to add grass hahaha

The network IK is fine. It just ruins social and physical immersion with other players, but that's not the main focus of vrchat.

heavy dawn
#

Yin what effect does network IK have?

mental fossil
#

Ups

#

Wrong server

pure hemlock
#

Negative effects. That what is has.

#

It was supposed to help with frames and I don't see a difference. In fact, my frames have been worse lately. So it's just negative effects for me.

#

But it's fine. VRChat isn't about immersion or having realistic body movements or dancing or being able to write with pens or trying to hug players without walking through each other or fast movements getting translated properly or anything like that. It's about the memes and teenage romance drama.

@fervent tundra That's importing scripts and stuff, AFAIK

pure hemlock
#

Honestly, I opposed mirror sitting for so long. But now that there is such huge delays between users, what's the point in trying to communicate face to face, when there is a 2-3 second delay in movements and my movements barely look human to other players unless I move super slowly. F that I'll just sit in the front of the mirror since everything else is redundant now

just be patient, they will make it more reliable eventually
previous ik solution was more demanding on users systems, this one is not as heavy

pure hemlock
#

I've been testing out another social VR game where the latency between me and my friend is like... 30ms instead of the 1000-3000ms VRChat has. Physical immersion and realistic movement translations is essential for Social VR. It felt like I was in the same room as him. VRChat, it feels like I am in the room with a badly controlled laggy puppet.

Try to sing with someone in VR, or put your hands together with someone and try to move them at the same time. It's 1-3 second delay.

Yin: I get the framerate improvements and I don't see any lag in movements really. But I'm in North America so YMMV.

#

In a major city with fast enough Internet so I think pings might matter.

pure hemlock
#

I am in North American as well. East coast. 1-3 second delay minimum in physical movements between players. I dunno if you're just lucky somehow, but every I Know has the same delay. I have a 500mbps connection.

heavy dawn
#

1-3 seconds? Are you using dialup? 🤣

#

Hmm, strange. I believe you but I don't know what might cause that.

pure hemlock
#

Are you serious? That's literally the delay for everyone in the game right now.

#

Next time you're on, find a friend, hold up your hands together, and try to move them at the same time.

#

You'll see how bad it is.

heavy dawn
#

Oh... Well the game audio is a bit delayed.

#

Like if you talk in a mirror your mouth moves like a second later but that's not network IK update. That has always been the case. For at least a year I've been playing it.

inner cape
#

there has always been delays, it just got slightly worse and people actually noticed with the networked ik

pure hemlock
#

It didn't get slightly worse. It got significantly worse.

#

I dunno if I can post links in here but I have a ton of them showing the insanely bad latency.

mental fossil
#

anyone who knows a avatar world to get a broccoli skin

inner cape
#

aight lemme run this down
lag for speech has always been present and it has never changed cause its not connected to the ik and its update.
after the switch to networked ik the lag has been immense but short after they released a patch that significantly reduced that delay, even tho it's still present it's not as big as it was on initial release, in fact it's not much worse than local ik used to be

pure hemlock
#

Local IK had a delay of like... 300-500ms for most people for me. Which was still unacceptable imo but w/e, could live with it. The most recent version of network IK is still easily 2-3 seconds minimum. Maybe like 1s for some people when the server isn't bogged down.

inner cape
#

we gonna count seconds now, are we

pure hemlock
#

Nah I take it back I don't think I've ever noticed it as low as 1s, I am trying to be gracious

#

I mean that's how we count delay. Not my fault VRChat is so bad it's in the seconds.

ruby needle
#

how do you do your test? have one raise the hand when the other does?

#

or count down

pure hemlock
#

I always put both my hands to both their hands in the air. Then I move my hand, slowly, and they move their hands slowly to keep our palms touching.

ruby needle
#

Nah thats anything but a reliable test

#

plus you need to half the result

pure hemlock
#

Then what would you consider a reliable test?

ruby needle
#

I think the most reliable you can do is count down and raise the hands on a clear mark

faint skiff
#

You'd need an external clock though, you couldn't use voice as that would have it's own delay

ruby needle
#

anything else has significantly higher reaction time factored in

pure hemlock
#

I think that's worse personally...

ruby needle
#

nothing is really reliable in the end

pure hemlock
#

I mean it's reliable enough. I've done the same test in other VR Social games and the delay between moving our hands is SIGNIFICANTLY better.

#

VRChat is like... reallllly bad in comparison

ruby needle
#

but for your testing methode you definitely need to half the time measured

#

cus you measure the time it takes them to react to your reaction

inner cape
#

I've seen a post on Twitter, testing the delay with people being in the same room irl, both lowering their hands at the same time
I thought it was pretty reliable so that's what I'm basing my opinions off

pure hemlock
#

I mean I can knock off, what, 100-200ms, maybe? For someone to react to me SLOWLY moving my hand?

#

The reaction time needed for that type of movement is pretty low

ornate finch
#

have you conducted multiple tests with different circumstances and time windows?

pure hemlock
#

I've also done voice tests, where we sing a song together in like slow motion and sync our voices and that's just as bad in VRChat, but significantly better in other VR games.

#

Like I know I am not using perfect tests, but it doesn't take perfect tests to see that VRChat is significantly delayed

#

It's not a matter of a few ms. It's a matter of seconds in difference.

ornate finch
#

yeah sure but conducting proper tests is gonna give you a more definitive answer than complaining when you notice it in particular

inner cape
#

all this discussion is cause yin succumbed to the mirrors

pure hemlock
#

Like I said, I have videos of said tests, between VRChat and another particular Social VR game. The difference is pretty eye opening.

#

Just don't thinK I can share them here

ornate finch
#

simply providing a couple videos as an example and comparing it with another platform isn't really a fair comparison

pure hemlock
#

How is it not a fair comparison? They're both Social VR games with the same purpose. And one has maybe 50ms delay between me and my friend, the other has 2-3 seconds easily.

ornate finch
#

not all games are built upon the same systems

ruby needle
#

runing a vr instance and a desktop instance on the same PC and caturing both looking at each other is propably the best test you can conduct.

pure hemlock
#

Actually FPaul, there's videos online from a couple living in the same house with 2 VR systems, where they're holding their hands, and they drop their hands together irl at the same time. In the video, it's like a 2 second delay.

ornate finch
#

probably

pure hemlock
#

I'd say that's a pretty good test lol

ruby needle
#

isnt the video you're talking about from the first version tho

pure hemlock

was so confused for a bit

#

i just deleted my animation cause i thought it was causing that..

#

same here

ruby needle
#

@pure hemlock done the test

ornate finch
#

looks pretty good

cyan breach
#

Whats your ping?

ruby needle
#

i showed it

sly nexus
#

ok so like

ornate finch
#

200 he showed it

ruby needle
#

200

cyan breach
#

Ah rip lol

sly nexus
#

This is totally random and nobody probably has an answer for me BUT

#

I spent the past 7-8 hours overclocking a phenom II 1090T and I got it to run at 4.0GHz with 2000MHz DDR3 RAM

#

I got a crash due to an access violation

ornate finch
#

have you tried running it as admin? 🤷

#

restart your pc?

hollow breach
#

This is illegal stuff right there D :

pure hemlock
#

That's actually not that bad tbh FPaul

sly nexus
#

what? illegal?

ruby needle
#

Yeah it definitely has improved since the first patch.

pure hemlock
#

Would like to see a test done in a public room next with 10-20 people though because the delay seems far worse when I test with friends

ornate finch
#

well yeah if your PC is lagging good chance the IK will aswell

pure hemlock
#

My PC isn't really lagging

#

70% usuage maybe at most

ornate finch
#

usage isn't a determining factor

pure hemlock
#

How is usage not a determining factor to my PC lagging?

ornate finch
#

anyways i'd love to see stress tests for the IK delay

sly nexus
#

Im going to try running it as an admin ig

#

EYYY

#

it worked owo

ornate finch
#

cause % usage isn't going to show you fps drops along with other factors that could potentially cause the IK to halt or delay

pure hemlock
#

Okay well I have a decent rig.

#

THe game should support being in a room with 10-20 ppl lol

ornate finch
#

Okay well are you going to tell me that avatars people upload are optimized?

#

even the best rig will have trouble in a full room with unoptimized avatars

pure hemlock
#

Okay well test it with avatars hidden

#

Ezpz

ornate finch
#

does it still calculate IK for blocked avatars?

pure hemlock
#

It does for avatars blocked through safety settings. You can see head and hands. Avatars blocked via the new minimum performance settings though does not.

ornate finch
#

ah okay

pastel galleon
#

Even in a full room of optimized avatars you'll hardly reach good frames

#

And ik seems to get worse in a world full of people

pure hemlock
#

^ Is true. I've tried toggling avatars on/off when my frames get bad. Doesn't really make a hueg dent in frames.

ornate finch
#

blocking unoptimized avatars definitely makes a big difference

pure hemlock
#

Usually it's a memory leak issue for me. After 2-3 hours, VRChat eats up like 9gb of ram and I need to restart it.

pastel galleon
#

Also the ik decays over time in an instance, it's not immediate

#

Yeah sometimes it's better to rejoin a world if people come and go

#

Cause it'll leak too much otherwise

pure hemlock
#

Sometimes when it gets too laggy too, the IK falls behind. My friend has a pretty bad computer and after like 5 minutes in a public, my IK is about 3-5 minutes delayed for her.

#

I'll be in a Discord call with her and she's watching my movements from a few minutes ago and can't hear me in game

pastel galleon
#

I haven't tested a connection between fps and ik yet

#

Seems troublesome tho

pure hemlock
#

I've noticed it with a few desktop users as well, particularly in murder. There was a foreign kid with I assume a bad PC, was literally reacting to stuff from like 3 rounds ago and wasn't respawning when the games would end and we could not kill him even though he wasn't moving. We spent like 3 minutes shooting at him, and he only started reacting like 3 minutes later lol

#

And his hand was held out as if he was holding a gun or a knife, and it sounded like he was trying to shoot people. But nothing was in his hands on our screens

pastel galleon
#

Maybe he had like 600 ping

pure hemlock
#

Maybe but a 3-5 minute delay is a lot more than 600 ms xD Seems like the IK tries to play catch up or something and just falls more and more behind

pastel galleon
#

Damn that's so much delay

#

It doesn't even try to catch up

pure hemlock
#

I dunno about the kid but for my friend, she has fine internet, and the game runs fine in privates with like 3 people. But public worlds she gets so out of sync constantly

#

She runs at like 10fps when it gets out of sync though so I think that's the cause

sly nexus
#

I had it running as an admin and now it crashed from an access violation anyway

#

see I get ducked by the network IK because my CPU cant keep up with VRChat and cant process it even as network IK

hollow breach
#

Ur doing too much illegal stuff right there

#

I’m going to have to stop u criminal scum

sly nexus
#

Dont make me force this baby to 7GHz

hollow breach

#

You wouldn’t dare!

sly nexus
#

someone in China did it

#

why cant I

umbral reef
#

The wrong info in this chat is high 👀

#

Networked IK has nothing to do with access violations

hollow breach
#

Or does it?

#

dun dun DUN

umbral reef
#

Also @pure hemlock this can be related to unoptimized avatars/worlds where the game is data throttled (soo much info to calculate)/Cpu throttled. This can cause the game to lagg a bit and often audio or the IK will become worse/not work

hollow breach
#

@wind sierra I see u on dat green list 👀

looks like vrchat is having a good time today?

mental fossil

Sounds like it

Do you guys like broccoli?

faint skiff
#

@vocal shard That'll be because you're literally just spamming.

ruby needle
#

This doesnt belong here

#

The person you named has no saying here at all. They might have allowed to to link to the video (which... you would not need any permission at all unless its private cirHuh)

#

But that it, this is not a place for it.

#

Listen

#

There is nothing to discuss here.

faint skiff
#

That's like me breaking into Paul's house and saying "It's alright, my mate Jim said it's fine". lol.

#

Chaz, they may not mind you sharing the video, but you can't just paste it in random channels because those CHANNELS don't want it.

#

No-one cares what ZeroPhyx thinks about it.

frosty veldt
#

You can't get permission from someone who has no permission themselves

umbral reef
#

And expect to get banned for it yes.

faint skiff
#

You heard the man. Off with his head...

umbral reef
#

Great way to get hate towards your friend then btw-
He should regret giving you permission to do this. But its not relevent for this chat, you got told off so just dont do it.

faint skiff
#

@vocal shard Do you have permission from the discord channel owners to post it in their channels?

frosty veldt
#

Lmao

ruby needle
#

Just ignore them

#

they are clearly trolling

#

Let's move on cirComfy

faint skiff
#

"My VRChat brings all the spergs to the yard..."

frosty veldt
#

I was waiting for the thrilling conclusion to his points

vocal shard
#

I got a new task given to me; a hard task to say the least lol

#

Task :: Get them 1,000 subscribers || The only way to do that is constant video posting either every day on scheduled times, 3 to 5 videos a week; and maybe using Social Media Marketing Tools.

#

I will need to get a review and an update on how to get Youtube Subscribers again -- but based on what I am seeing it's more on a Social Media gain.

#

Hard task given to me someone who hasn't ever got 1,000 subs before plus it's business-brand-building-real estate related stuff.

#

I only got theories and analzyed how people grow from different Social Medias. -- But I feel best route is constant video 3 to 5 a week

shy rain
#

why is vrchat so broken for me,

#

it struggles to load anything.

vocal shard
#

And I told her "We need to see if it works or not" because it doesn't mean it does.

#

Or, just play the long game and don't focus on getting subs YuiHappy

#

Just be a genuine person that draws people. Eventually they'll get there

#

I will put that in the proposal

#

Actually I will make that subliminal.

#

So I think she is following every step of how to get subscribers she has like 100 subs; so she's doing something right.

#

the only issue I feel that she might be doing wrong is the lack of videos she posts.

#
  1. There's a Lack of Videos -- She should have 3 to 5 a week; 2. There's a lack of Social Media Marketing tools used; The Sharing and Networking is the STRONG part. She has all those parts which gave her 100 subs in the first place out of her 1,000 to 4,000 on all Social Medias -- 4. Purchased Ads.
#

Also she needs to put herself out there (or have representatives speak in each video)

hollow breach
#

I’ll sub if they put a Ugandan knuckle in the video : )

vocal shard
#

Well yeah that's one way; but I don't think it fits their niche. xD

hollow breach
#

IDC

#

Ugandan knuckle or no sub

vocal shard
#

Well anyway; this will be a test of my Social Media Marketing Skills -- And I know SMM I just never do it

#

You always want to market certain things; myself, I like putting twists into things; like making Knuckles a form of art; Kermits as DnD Warriors for Roleplay purposes; Shaggies -- I forgot what I said I wanted to do with them but apparently it was a good idea.

#

does anyone remember what I said about what i wanted to do with Shaggies?

#

I forget ... it was a good idea

#

OH..

#

Fall Out Themed Shaggies. That's right.

umbral reef
#

@vocal shard early youtube is a lot of luck. Getting lucky with the tags is the most important thing you can have. The market is so flooded its hard to also get anywhere with subpar content so having it being higher end compared to others or atleast the same is a must have really.
Also, vieuws mean a LOT more then subs in current youtube. Anyone saying thats not right is used to an older youtube and just has not realized yet

vocal shard
#

Well she doesn't know Social Media xD

#

She will only get equal to the amount of viewers from what I am thinking

#

and won't expand unless those viewers start sharing or something but I feel like 1,000 can be done; but the view might not.

umbral reef
#

Nah, users sharing people barely grows. Gotta make the system happy by uploading the right content that gets click true and watch time. Having people click on the video is stupidly important, upgrade the thumbnales and ect if they are that small still. Social media is to keep in contact with hardcore fans, to reward them, not to gain new ones.

covert linden
#

also being limited to one platform reduces the likelyhood of gain a lot in my experience

vocal shard
#

alright this will be a bit of a revision then; forgot that you need to feed people lol

covert linden
#

each platform has its strengths, Instagram to me is reach, (As ive been on it for years and have worked up a following there easiest), while youtube is best for just the content, but growing on that alone is hard

#

also making money off youtube is even harder, lemme go find the like

umbral reef
#

Your not a company though

vocal shard
#

Ye she has those but she doesn't use them effectively.

umbral reef
#

You make content and people have to follow you for that

covert linden
#

so this person is a company?

umbral reef
#

People wont care about anything you do unless they care about your content and unless you make a second type of content on another platform its not a gain

#

Like how do yourself learn about new youtubers to follow?

vocal shard
#

They reward or have an interaction // she shows this; however, I think she needs a way to show this to an Audience and not what she is doing in the video

#

So she needs to do the reciprocal somehow.

umbral reef
pure hemlock
#

That's good to hear. I hope the next generation of VR has facial tracking and eye tracking features to bring our avatars to life in social games.

faint skiff
#

I hope not, that would make me way too self-conscious. That said, I'm pretty sure foveated rendering is on the table for next gen so you'll likely get your wish.

What do you call it when you put a chicken in a vacuum?

But, the other word for chicken that starts with c and sucker bcs a vacuum sucks the air out of things

anyone else getting disconnected from rooms and thrown into their home constantly?

I've been on this platform since 2017 and here I am half way through 2019 and it's still the same crap

heavy dawn
#

I don't get booted to a different room but first load sometimes fails and I'll get that error BEEP and then it'll reload the same level.

faint skiff
#

That beep creeps me out because I still don't know what it means

#

Normally happens when someone crashes me out though

vocal shard
#

my logs are literally just spam of "something very bad happened" and "(insert name here) has failed to update pose"

faint skiff
#

Yeah, what is with the pose update spam?

vestal sleet
#

I get throw into empty room or home alot

#

No clue why

heavy dawn
#

Enverex I think it means timeout.

#

Like the level took so long to sync it just hit the game's netowork timeout.

faint skiff
#

I've had it just "happen" while things were going on, so not always

heavy dawn
#

Yeah I've had the loud beep happen when someone's doing a stuid animation. Timed me out of the climbing challenge tree level with only 2 left to find. 😐

vocal shard
#

anyone else having problems with vrchat hitting 60 percent gpu usage

#

what kind of gpu do u have?

#

and in vr or out of vr

ashen harbor
#

where's the fullscreen option

vocal shard
#

alt+enter

ashen harbor
#

ty

vocal shard
#

hold alt and press enter

ashen harbor
#

uhm ratio is off

vocal shard
#

im using oculus im using a nvidia 1050 and intel core i5

#

7th gen

ashen harbor
#

how do I fix that

vocal shard
#

magic in game holt left alt and press enter right next to shift

ashen harbor
#

I did

vocal shard
#

nothing happened?

ashen harbor
#

its fullscreen

#

but not correct ratio

vocal shard
#

oh

#

hold up

vestal sleet
#

Shift start game

ashen harbor
#

shift start?

vocal shard
#

as big gamer, is it a problem that your gpu is at 60, like lag

#

hold shift and start game

#

@ashen harbor

#

i just open vrchat and it uses max 60 gpu idk why

vestal sleet
#

R u running desktop or vr

vocal shard
#

vr

ashen harbor
#

also @vocal shard how to adjust sensitivity?

#

@vestal sleet because I don't have a vr headset :p

shy rain
#

All i wanna do is play vrchat 😦

vocal shard
#

also caus of that my headset blackscreens

#

cause my total gpu usage goes to 100

covert linden
#

@vocal shard 1060 is usually minmum for vr, so, 1050 will be used up like that

vocal shard
#

but the thing is it never happened

#

i played this game for a year this is the first time it happened

covert linden
#

And youve tried restarting the system right

vocal shard
#

yep

#

tried

#

also the oculus OVRserver is using alot of gpu

inner cape
#

60% on a 1050

#

that's magic

#

my old 1050ti went up to 90

vocal shard
#

ye but idk never had it

inner cape
#

what's its usually at?

vocal shard
#

20 -25

inner cape
vocal shard
#

and im getting blackscreen in my headset cause of it

covert linden
#

I mean its underspec so I can see why itd be hifh

#

high

vocal shard
#

ye but still like i said never had the problem

#

first time it happened

#

i was playing just fine before

heavy dawn
#

Might be a CPU bottleneck too. I have a 2070 and my Vive greys out unless I massively overclock my CPU. 🤷

#

Not constantly but if Windows decides to be busy with something else while I'm playing.

vocal shard
#

ye also the oculus ovrserver is getting 20 cpu usage

inner cape
#

how are you getting such numbers with that hardware, they're so low D:

vocal shard
#

iidk man

heavy dawn
#

20% CPU usage might mean one core pinned at 100%.

tacit plank
#

My 2070 runs at like 15% in desktop mode, don't know about VR, but not a lot. 150% supersampling too

heavy dawn
#

If you right click the CPU graph in task manager and select Logical Processors you can see.

vocal shard
#

ok

heavy dawn
#

caffeine: Yeah me too.

#

caffeine: VRChat never uses even a fraction of the video card.

#

Before the updates it barely used any CPU either but mysteriously ran like crap.

#

But that was because everything was all stuck on 1 thread 🤷

#

... on a bulldozer

#

Anyway the above is kind-of a tangent and the point is that there might be more than just the video card at work here. What CPU do you have TheBigGamer?

ruby needle
#

So basically on 50% of a core

vocal shard
#

im using a nvidia 1050 and a intel core i5 7th gen

heavy dawn
#

Yeah? Which i5? Base clock?

vocal shard
#

never really looked at were to find it XD

heavy dawn
#

Task Manager will tell you on the Performance tab under the CPU section.

vocal shard
#

intelr core i5 7300HQ cpu 2,50 ghz

ornate finch
#

have you tried restarting oculus?

vocal shard
#

yep

heavy dawn
#

So your base clock and boost clock speed are both slower than my CPU's base clock speed.

#

🤷

ornate finch
#

i doubt %usage is at play here

heavy dawn
#

Yeah your system may have just been super lucky to have good performance before.

ornate finch
#

is your sensor for the rift working fine?

vocal shard
#

yes

ornate finch
#

like for detecting when your face is nearby

vocal shard
#

ye its workin fine

ornate finch
#

🤔 restart your pc?

#

i assume you did though rofl

vocal shard
#

tried already i tried so much

ornate finch
#

update drivers?

vocal shard
#

yep already did that

heavy dawn
#

Try running resource monitor (it's found in the performance tab of task manager) while you're playing VR. See what the values are when it goes down.

#

It'll keep a more comprehensive graph of what's going on and should be better for helping you figure out what's going wrong. It will do networking and everything.

vocal shard
#

aight il try

heavy dawn
#

I'd even try running speccy or somethign else that tells you temperature and see if your video card is just running hot or something too... 🤷

#

Maybe your computer has a colony of dust bunnies inside. 😄

vocal shard
#

could be gonna try cleaning it maybe helps

heavy dawn
#

Reset your avatar to one of the Quest friendly ones too just in case. I don't know if you use a model with 5M polys or something. 🤣

vocal shard
#

not that much XD

heavy dawn
#

I wish they would allow more than the like 15 avatar faves you get. It's not like a list of IDs takes much space to store.

#

Might slow down loading of the dialogue somehow though.

vocal shard
#

ye they should have more but oh welps who are we to say

hasty fossil
#

how many hours of playing do you need to get trusted user?

vocal shard
#

depends if you make avatars or worlds

hasty fossil
#

so if i make tonnes of avatars i can get trusted user?

#

or worlds

vocal shard
#

ye and the playtime off course but the playtime depends on the amount of avatars

#

but you need to be user rank to upload avatars

hasty fossil
#

so yeah

#

is that the blue or the green colour?

vocal shard
#

green

hasty fossil
#

how long does that take?

vocal shard
#

idk to be honest

frosty veldt
#

You can upload as new user, only people that can't upload are visitors, you'll get a message in game when you are allowed to upload

hasty fossil
#

i have been playing for a while now and im still visitor

vocal shard
#

o ok never were a new user rank so idk imediatly became a trusted

covert linden
#

Trusted can take around 700 but its not time basef

astral elm
#

i just have a quick question if vrchat is still supported on mac because i used to play it on that, but my friend who is trying to play it isnt able to

frosty veldt
#

From me and my friends the range is 400-1000 depending on other factors, just raw playtime isn't a good indicator

covert linden
#

@astral elm no its not
