probably a pc issue
-;;-
facepalms
try emailing steam
You didn't do that Bamzu
"Can someone help me i don't get why only 2 of my trackers pair but the 3rd one wont work no matter what. "
I have had the exact same issue and the image I just linked answered my question.
Impatience will get you a lot of discarded hardware.
This is not the channel for helping people; I have literally attempted to help you
And you brush it off like a non-attempt

hows about the toxicity gets turned down a bit and you actually accept the assistance Fuzz is trying to give you?
Don't side with me dem lol
I'm very abrupt at times.
^ he gets it
Well I give up helpin' ya my dude.
dick or not, his assistance is blunt and he is trying to help.
Probably better for both of us.
@frigid raptor msg me and let jesus alone
don't expect everyone chilling within general to have patience/or time** to help every lost soul
Verita 
You're not the bad guy; stop painting yourself ๐
It's an early morning, you were in the wrong channel and I'm terribly blunt with my wording.
I mean i would say google is the best answer for a question like that, has several solutions to that exact problem. And he did mention that he also had that exact same issue and that it was the solution for him.
Is okay. I didn't expect people to side with me, it would only make Bamzu feel worse about everyone lol. We forget this ever happened.
Wulfie how was your day?
All good :d soon coming up to 3am but yeah 
Ohh you're a states/canadianiansian
@wise perch So this is how it feels to be from the future...
Yeah how is it over there in the future? Anything new yet
Dem-1 is like 12 hours ahead of you wolfie
I'm only 4 hours ahead... and can confirm - no new tech
Oh damn 12 hours? You celebrate new year almost a day ahead...
lmao
Means 1999 to 2000 you were a whole century ahead
woosh

I remember the countdown... but because I was like 8; I had no concept of why that year was important.
The only thing that changed that year was my birds ripped all at once
Only thing that broke were my birds exactly at 12 after the countdown
I am so confused XD What birds
cockatoos? parrots? owls? or maybeh pigeons?
inb4 toucans
I had 2 birds lmao after the rumor that all the tech and clocks are gonna break and yeah.. it was such a mess but only thing that broke were the poor birds and i dont even remember lol i just remember that they passed out at the exact time
o,..,0
....intriguing.
That reminds me of that series where everyone in the world passed out for like 2 minutes
Anyways gotta go before i literally pass out, nini
nini, Wulfie
i use speech to text and text to speech
nice :3
๐
Dem-1 You're nice.
hm? slightly confused
eeps quietly
Qhala this was on my clipboard in anticipation of your message: "Qhala you're breathtaking!"
lmao. why was that on your clipboard, if i might ask?
Because I expected Qhala to say the breathtaking thing
But I was gonna paste it while qhala types
But then I had to make coffee and missed this
lol

is that somethin they say a lot, then? lol
yes
emoji related

What am I talking about? My avatar doesn't fare better in safety.
Exactly.
But I make up for it by being a fun loving giant burb! โค
@rough pulsar you said you have the Index right? what headset did you have before?
howdy gamers
or anyone having an Index headset here?
only the controllers
I got the headset today and tried it out for a bit... there seems to be a... glaring issue
๐
hopefully that's just something you get used to, but right now the glare is pretty bad
@winged thistle vive then vive pro then index
I have the Index, full kit
I guess I'm one of the few who hasn't any issues whatsoever ๐
And yeah, the glare is different, the cases where it's worst is opposite to what you're used to, which is where there's bright light near the edges of the display.
With the index it's worst when you have a dark scene with a bright area that's central.
It can be slightly managed by getting your fit as near perfect as you can, IPD, eye relief, and general HMD positioning on your face.
yeah I tried fiddling around with that for a few minutes. it was really noticable in the Void Club for instance
will give it another go this evening
I'd say spend some more time adjusting the HMD
but it's definitely more glarin than the OG Vive
I wouldn't say more, just different. I've mostly got used to the Index's glare now.
Same w/ me
okay, guess I'll give it a few days and see if I can get used to it...
Personally, doesn't bother me, and really I'd say it's way more noticeable in dark environments.
Playing here & there for most games, you really won't notice it.
It'll take a bit more than that. I'd say it took me about two-three weeks to get properly used to all the little differences with the Index.
well even in the default home I can see like the pillows on teh couch glaring when they're moving across the screen
I mean everything else with the Index is better than the Vive
it's just that glaring that's the one issue I have right now. and the lack of bass in the speakers but I can live with that
they're still a thousand times better than the Vive DAS
Huh, the Index's speakers are super-bassy for me.
I was going to say the same
maybe it's just what I'm used to
I'm used to wearing my closed back headphones
which have a nice pronounced bass
Valve did intentionally go for a very even frequency response for the speakers
but yeah I can feel them vibrating pretty hard when playing music
closed 
yeah I had no other choice... it's hard to find open back headphones that fit my ears and stuff perfectly
trust me I very much prefer an open sound stage to a closed one, but I'm super sensitive when it comes to the comfort of something I wear for several hours
@rough pulsar do you also basically completely darken out your room when playing in VR? like draw the curtains and turn off the lights and stuff
muh DT880 are comfy 
yeah I can't do over-ear
on ear? 
I have yet to find a pair of headphones where my earlobes don't touch the drivers
oh they looked like over-ear
they are for me
if they have good cushions
around-ear is uncomfortable for me with 99% of the headphones out there cause the tips of my ears usually touch the drivers and the rubbing when I move around is very distracting and annoying
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
@winged thistle Kinda? I turn my ceiling light off usually and have one of the wall lamps on that's about head height since it's an LED bulb
I play with the lights off :p
I only play when the lights go out ๐
Although my Rift S disagrees with my opinions.
Do your cameras take quite a while to start up? It makes the chaperone camera view a bit awkward to use since there's a several second delay before you get visual
Compared to with the vive/pro where it was practically instant
I think so? I only tried it once cause I didn't know what it was
it took a few seconds for the room view "overlay" stuff to show up but then it worked fine, except that beam of light coming through the curtains was very weird looking
Oh Gallium - with my rift I've found that keeping light levels the same whenever you start up VR - helps the HMD figure out where it is
I haven't tried the actual camera view yet if there is one
That makes sense, Insight probably works similar to WMR's tracking as it builds up a model of the tracking area as it goes, and with it being visually-based keeping it looking the same will help.
I've used it like once/twice, haven't found a practical use for it tbh
With my vive I had the camera activate on chaperone bounds, since it made grabbing stuff outside of the play space super easy.
well I can see some use if you have to like find your keyboard or your fan without having to take off the headset
I never used the camera on the vive after the first few days cause the quality is just garbage
I open bottles of beer with all my VR implements still on my body XD
I mean yeah ti's good enough to grab something, but meh
Mainly for grabbing a drink and adjusting the AC
It looks and sounds really funny to people in VRC
I can imagine
True, although I know where my fan is, and like my keyboard, etc just because of how long I've been playing in this playspace
On more than one occasion I've eaten in VRC with all my gear on.
I played sitting in my chair the other day and wanted to grab the blanket from the couch without getting up
Hmm, I should make a food eatability rating chart for the index controllers ๐ค
Index controllers sound ace for eating
If I'm eating while playing, I give myself a time to just take off my controllers and not touch them lmao
Although the thumb reach thing might be a bit wonky
I have found that even grabbing a glass is hard with just one hand with the Knuckles
For stuff like pizza or toast they're super-easy to eat with.
๐ค
burgers are a bit more awkward
Huh... Oculus touch controllers let me hold beers easily; but yeah holding a glass requires 2 hands for maximum security
I wouldn't even put my controllers anywhere near food tbh
I have spares ๐คฃ
I've gotten fairly decent at typing with them on, it's still awkward af to move my mouse ๐
gimme some of that money, rich boi >_>
oh, another issue with the speaker setup... now I can actually hear the lighthouses when it's quiet in the game >_>
so guess those will get upgraded pretty soon too
Ah, you still have the 1.0s?
You'll notice a huge difference in tracking once you get the 2.0s
so I heard
I'd love to switch to a 3 or 4 v2 lighthouse setup, but the shorter battery life of the v2 trackers is a major putoff
Although I know someone who's looking into replacement higher capacity batteries for them
wait, v2 trackers?
I'd assume 2018
right, you can't use 1.0 hardware with 2.0 lighthouses right?
index is the best for full body users
Yeah you can
blue button, as opposed to the dev trackers which have a grey button
just buy an index
I have the 2018s
v1 sensors do not work with v2 lighthouses
that's what I meant, yeah
v2 sensors will work with either v1 or v2 lighthouses
if you have vive trackers buy an index if you dont plan on getting trackers get the index anyways
Ah, I've never had the v1 trackers aha, so I wouldn't know
What if I don't want an index? what do I get then?
get a rift s
I guess he'd say an index
get a Quest LUL
I really, really love the flexibility of the quest... It has no trackers so it fits in the garbage super easy
buy an index or rift s if you want a headset
I got a Rift S ๐
imagine a quest for vrc
Imagine Go for VRC
https://www.vive.com/eu/vive-tracker/ so these will work with the Index Lighthouses?
yikes lmao
@winged thistle
Index if you have the money and/or space, or want high quality modular VR, Rift S if you like a lizard watching your every move.
Imagine Nintendo labo for VRC XD
pog
I use the index with my vive 2.0 trackers and 2.0 valve bases
@winged thistle Yes, they will work with index lighthouses and vive lighthouses.
you just turn them on the same way with the vive and vive pro...
okay, wasn't sure cause it didn't state if they're "2.0" or not
Rift S comes with a lizard? I would love a lizard... I think they've spent a lot of time inside my dresser xD (I put the Rift into a drawer whenever not using it)
I have a vive, oculus, and index
they all work with full body except the oculus has scuffed tracking
Vive, Vive Pro, Acer WMR, Index.
eh not really
oculus will glitch if you pass your controller over the hip
well vive and index are both using the same tracking system
Ehhh.. Not really either. If you hold the controller up to the tracker, yeah.
the oculus needs some special precautions to work with the vive system (matching playspaces)
Oculus updates have somewhat mitigated the hip/behind the head thing... You can do maybe two movements while out of sensor range and after that it glitches out
And I don't think I've ever needed more movements than that.
you fly off the map
Just run it through SteamVR, use some external programs, and bam. Good to go.
when you pass your oculus controller over the vive tracker
Not literally right when you pass it over the tracker
If you've ever seen a fbt user have their hip launched into space ๐
It's not that scuffed
Happens horrifically with v1 trackers since Constellation devices flash shit-tons of bright IR light across the same spectrum as lighthouse works on
Oh the hip thing is hilarious; I've seen them look like an octopus
just dont sit and put the hip tracker on your back for better oculus hybrid vive tracking
Much less so with v2 since the sensors work a little differently.
^ Yeah, I used the 2018 trackers w/ oculus, I actually rarely had tracking loss due to me moving my controller close to the tracker
if you sit a lot it will happen
I guess at that point it depends on your playspace
Elemental I'm gonna be using a Rift S with vive trackers soon xD It will be a glorious mess
just get an index
Shouldn't be that bad tbh
Shove that index up your many places
lmao, dawg not everyone can drop 1k
As I understand it, the v1 trackers are just looking for two different length pulses of light, one for the timer reset/sync, and one for the laser sweep. The v2's can get some amount of data on the laser beam itself.
I feel like he'd tell someone new to vr to get an index
I actually, genuinely do not like the knuckles on the index. And the screen - I could take it or leave it.
Have you tried them?
I have and I was not a fan; the fingers sometimes get stuck in weird positions
And they don't feel durable
Oh they're durable as fuck
Perhaps I had some potato version then
I punched my wall while playing blade & sorcery in fb lmao
xD
my wall had a small dent my controllers didnt
And the finger thing is poor calibration, when swapping from one person to another they either need to have the calibration gesture done, or totally power-cycled to re-run the power-on calibration.
I usually have to power cycle mine a couple times a day, but they turn off in literally 2 seconds
and turn back on in 2 seconds
Unless you tried the some of the dev versions like the EV3 which don't have quite as good finger tracking & detection compared to the DV/release models.
To be fair, I have really, really got used to Oculus Touch controllers and honestly I do not see utility in the use of latter 2 fingers in my hand
I'd say the knuckles are like the touch controllers on crack
For vrchat, no.
For other games, you'd be surprised.
Perhaps but the only other game I play in VR uses a HOTAS, not VR controls ๐
With all the additional finger data throwing mechanics can be improved massively
Anyone else having trouble loading in?
Yes; work is stopping me from playing VRC
Something I must say I'm pretty hyped for is Boneworks.
One of the reasons I'm glad to have the Index
lmao you heard of boneworks?
Nope
Knuckles controllers and Pavlov once you can get use to throwing things.
Beat saber i get higher scores than with vive controllers
I get more consistent 100+ point swings and dont need to worry about my controller slipping
smt up with vrc? cant spawn into worlds
Not been on today, sorry canโt confirm
worked fine for me a bit earlier
works fine for me @vale palm
also, how do you clean the Index face gasket? just wash it with some warm water and a bit of soap?
I just put my entire HMD in the dishwasher (this is a joke)
Nah, I actually put my face in the dishwasher.
weird, its stuck at initializing world, twice, for 30s each before it loads me into a world
@winged thistle i just wipe mine with a damp cloth then let it dry. It shouldn't need as much cleaning as the vive foam since it's apparently made of some fancy antimicrobial material.
mkay
well I do sweat a lot during Beat Saber
so, for the Vive I had the covers and cushion from vrcover.com
which I just swapped out and washed when I was done with a session
I have a warning
My index controllers are getting sent back for a refund since the joystick slowly stopped working properly on the Y axis over time playing VRChat
Their joystick is a shitshow.
i cant wait for hardware revisions
so i can finally pick one up!!
It was hard to click while tilted but I could live with that. Getting stuck running forward or backward in vrchat constantly since it wouldn't reset to zero... :/
And the finger tracking didn't work very good tbh in any games I tried. While it tracked each individual finger pretty good, if I were to open up all my fingers at once, each finger would open at different times and rates in game.
So it ended up mostly just being a digital thing instead of analog where it was really just good enough to know if a specific finger was closed or extended but anything in between was random depending on the finger
Iโd say the vive controllers are the best, however theyโre so likely to break that I canโt possibly give them praise. Not worth the money Iโve spent on em
I've luckily didn't have any real techinical issues with the Knuckles so far. the only problem I personally have with them is the way the strap sits on my hands, the point where the elastic band connects to the strap digs into my hands and kinda restricts blood flow which makes them really uncomfortable so I had to tape some foam to them to distribute the pressure more...
all of which could've been avoided if Valve wouldn't have cheaped out on the amount of padding there
Yah I had some comfort issues at first but after a week of playing around with them I got it to fit just right and it wasn't a problem anymore
the finger tracking can be a bit iffy at the beginning of each game session but they adapt rather quickly in my experience
well I've used them for a few weeks now and I still can't do without the extra padding
The finger tracking does learn as you play right?
It adapts quickly on a finger by finger basis but if you try slowly opening your entire hand, you'll just see each finger opening at very different times and at varying rates
it does, yeah
No
and my grip always slowly changes over the course of a session so sometime I have to turn the controllers off and on again with the new grip so they adjust for that
After like 2 weeks it would track my fingers fine right as I put them on, as long as I put them on the same way everytime
I thought they reset everytime you turn them on and initialize depending on the way you grip them when they're booting up
that's the feel I get from it at least
and then they slowly adapt over the course of the session
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
also I wish they would've used a different material that doesn't attract finger prints like crazy for the front cover of the headset >_>
Valve did release 3d files for a frunk cover so you could have a replacement printed that's not so shiny.
I wish they wouldโve kept the EV2 design of 5 individual sensors
And not done the whole dynamic calibration thing
oh well, Valve is just a small indie company, they're still learning. Kappa
I vinyl wrapped my frunk piece
where are those STLs @rough pulsar ?
nevermind, found them
well, the visor would be a pain in the ass to print with a FDM printer because of the shape
I like that they made all the CADs openly available
now who wants to design a strap for the controllers that allows for more padding? :3
did you sit on it?
hellu, sorry if this was asked before but how do i change the keybind for push to talk?
You can't change the keybind.
Np
Waiting for the day Valve actually decides to sell shipments to retail stores for Canada, Norway, Switzerland like ๐ด
enjoy fbt for all 3 days that u use it ๐
how them E-boy be lookin like ๐คก
;;
First update to my Armacham Technologies world is complete!
so, playing Beat Saber at 120Hz is definitely a different experience
Crank that baby up to 144 ๐ญ
but looks like the fit is not quite right yet, the gasket left a nice red imprint on my forehead
should the back of the strap be more towards the middle back of the head or more towards the top?
Generally higher up than you'd think
okay, that'd explain it then
cause I had it like in a straight line with the headset
I've always found the straps to be more comfortable the lower down the back of my head they are, but that's probably just me.
yep, the DAS was actually very comfortable
but again the padding on the gasket with the Index is way too thin
and whose bullshit idea was it to make the part where the gasket touches the nose WITHOUT any padding at all?!
You don't have to have it on very tight either.
some people have bigger noses like me, and the headset is basically resting on just the bridge of my nose
I found the vive/pro wanted to be on fairly firmly, but the index doesn't quite need the same amount of squish so the thinner foam isn't an issue.
damn so far vrcover.com only has slip on covers for the Index
you have problems with the pads?
yeah, they're too thin for my liking/not existing where tehy should be
but maybe I'm just holding wearing it wrong
never felt it touch my nose before
well, it's sitting on mine. same with the Vive
I guess I do have a slightly bigger nose than the average person
guess it's a whole re-learning phase for teh next few days, again
but the glare is really harsh at times... like the Beat Saber start screen is blindingly glaring
i have noticed glare in vrchat but that was because a pure white avatar that was glowing in a very dark room
not in beat saber tho
well I like everything except for the fact that it uses an LCD panel and lenses basically. the blacks are so washed out and bright things are glaring
Yeah no true black
but I guess I knew that going into it...
Ooo, if your blacks are really washed out you might have the vive colour correction bug
vrchat as a whole felt kinda washed out/lacking in contrast
That could also be shitty post-processing
what do?
ya for mine it has to be really extreme before i have problems
Soul speaks 
Try completely removing and re-installing steamvr
Do an uninstall from Steam, then check the install location to see if there's any leftovers and wipe them too, then reinstall
mmkay
my steam vr is 100% bugged out after the last update
The blacks on the Index are really good for an LCD panel. Not quite OLED but a hell of a lot better than other LCD HMDs I've used
okay then something is definitely wrong with my setup, cause the black parts were more grey than anything
also delete C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR ?
Yup
yay downloading 1.6gig with 4MB/s >_>
god I hope at the new place I'll have at least a few 100 mbit downstream
"a few" honestly a 50k downstream and 10k upstream is more then enogh.
not for me
I'm theoretically paying for 40mbit down
which I only get when nobody else around this area is at home because screw LTE
according to taskmanager it's using 43mbit atm
but it's unstable as hell
like speeds will vary from 10mbit to 40 depending on weather, how many people are in this LTE cell, and the constellation of the planets
because the only ISP available here is too lazy to do proper landlines in all of the homes here
yet I'm paying 34โฌ/month for this service...
LTE Home network? 
yes
The biggest joke on the planet, but lets not dive into that.
yep. technically it's an ADSL/LTE hybrid, but ADSL is only like 10mbit max at best
okay, steamvr is redownloaded, time for room setup I guess...
wait a second... @rough pulsar is that right that it stored my room setup?
That too
Murder 2 map still looks pretty washed out imo
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
but adjusting the strap position did help a bit with the comfort I think
Many existing games were designed around oled headsets. Give it time and people will make games that look better on lcd headsets.
Hey everyone I need some help regarding vrchat itself
It doesnโt let me load in
And I think it might be the servers being weird because itโs only doing this to me..
Many vr games use very dark scenes just because they can be pretty immersive on oled displays. Games will do this less often once lcd is the norm so games will stop looking washed out
anyone know why i keep spawning in the hyperdimension of ozicom world when i open vrc?
its not my home btw
And I tried downloading a VPN on my computer and I found out that vrchat only works when I change my ip so it has to do with my location
If thatโs what youโre loading into then itโs your home
@odd radish it happens to me too
I never spawn in my home
And now I canโt load into vrchat
Just get a new end point connection and you wonโt need a vpn
also why doesnt emotes work on mirrors
How do I do that @languid beacon ?
Unplug your router for 30 seconds, typically
Ohh okay let me try
Pengle certain properties donโt show in mirrors, mainly material change if done on the default animator (directly on gestures) this can be solved by not putting material swap properties directly on hand gestures
If the usual change is done via shader it should show in the mirror, or if you just show a different model with the different material that will work too. If material change isnโt the problem, let me know
It still doesnโt work
I tried unplugging my router and stuff but it still doesnโt load in
Check the router settings.
How?
What
anyone else getting this problem where your hands randomly go into fist gesture?
No, but is anyone else forced to use the website to check when friends are online or not?
no not so far
Because in order for me to update my friends list, I have to either favourite everyone, or restart my game.
hmm yeah idk
I don't know either. Kind of why I'm asking for an alternate to either of those.
Gotta love joining a beautiful world and trying to explore while people are talking about IP stressors and spamming high pitched frequencies in chat
dumb question. How can one open vrchat in deskop mode, without unplugging my headset, and without using the option in the steam library? I want to launch from the install directory, from a link, or hell, just from the "build and test" button in unity, in desktop mode. But it seems like launching from steam with the "launch in desktop mode" option is the only obvious way
smol problem
VRC is telling me I need to "wait to be unlocked" before I can upload content and choose avatars from private worlds
and, er... I am known, and I have 1400+ hours.
@mighty cradle do you use a Steam or a VRChat account?
Steam. Gonna get to trusted here.
From what I've read you do need to use a VRChat account even if you are running the game through Steam ๐ฆ
rip
F in chat
my hopes and dreams, shattered /s
cant you link accounts?
meh, it's just a skimpy dragon girl
On the bright side it only took me a few hours in game over a day or two to get to where I can upload.
i can, but i choose not to even make a VRC account
True enough
I wanna be a trusted steam user
I don'
praise volvo
t know if that's possible but maybe one of the team members will?
i was told i can't get known without VRC account
now I have known, and no VRC account
I'm not 100% sure but that's what I've heard.
@crimson bridge ovrtoolkit is really good for seeing your browser
Could be one solution. But it does cost something like 13$ on steam
I'd say it worth it for how much some people use it. lol
Have a joke in my group where we just randomly spout out the date and our battery life like some horrible ad lol. But yeah itโs pretty good, having an improved Rolex in game is useful, along with the desktop interaction
ovr toolkit is great but if you just need time and battery you can use ViveBatteryInfo
@mighty cradle you can rank as a steam acct but you won't be able to log in with the sdk and upload. it's probably possible to get trusted, but it's really slow if you're not uploading from anecdotal reports
Ovrtoolkit looks cleaner, but yeah, vbi is a good free alternative. Still think the desktop ability with toolkit is well worth it
God the vive keyboard is atrocious. I can finally send messages and do things on my desktop without taking an hour
is anyone know Shyshy
alright so my game is broken again, with vrchat displaying everyone as errors and the icon pictures just say no image. how would i fix this?
Try clearing cache maybe
simply restart vrchat if that happens
Hi
im so bored
anyone wanna play vrchat and duel in a yugioh world
you have to play one by one cv or yugi 1st bruh,..
https://puu.sh/E6bq8/e30752db88.png owo a 9k peak
z
You know what I love?
Being kicked from rooms for having conversations with people and getting DDOSed.
I have never seen a worse community in VRChat until recently.
its not recent at all 
owlboys' name looks like an OwO peeking from a corner
I hate myself
what have I done
ehehehehe
UwU
the amount of trusted users crashing people is incredible..
particle usage should be completely banned or heavily limited
@vocal shard yeah that will not sit well with the community
Considering there r multiple ways to crash someone
Then use the particle limiter and you got exactly what you wanted
^ or use the saftey settings
But adding the particle limiter to the game like the dynamic bone limiter would be a good idea
Its already a thing, just has to be done manually
okay they really need to come out with thicker face gaskets for the index... I just noticed that the bridge of my nose is actually resting against the frame of the lenses, and I've already pushed them as far out as possible...
I personally haven't noticed a difference, but some people have said the replacement/spares you can order are a little bit thicker. Might be worth picking a pair of them up? Also good to just have a spare set so you can swap out every so often or when one gets all moist after a long intense session.
yeah I kinda wanna wait and see if like vrcover.com or any other site comes out with their aftermarket versions
hallo
i have some question's that's really bother and annoying me about vr thing's:
1 why steamVR doesn't support other VR-headset's and other motion tracking controllers like Leap motion
2 why steamVR allow's external application to communicate with steamVR ?
3 and why "MI" VR smartphones are not supported by steamVR,
because we all know that MI technology are integrated into OCULUS and VIVE headset's
All of these things are very possible with SteamVR, you just need the appropriate driver software for it.
leap for example and mi smartphones drivers can not be found on steam store
https://github.com/SDraw/driver_leap
Uses a Leap Motion for controller emulation with finger tracking
You're very unlikely to find stuff like that on Steam
A very commonly used SteamVR Plugin, OpenVR Advanced Settings isn't on Steam.
To put simply : Those are not OFFICIALLY supported by Steam VR.
All that really means is if you have any trouble Steam support are probably just gonna say uninstall them and see if that clears up whatever problem was happening.
i thought so
so there is no general steamVR drivers for mentioned devices that will directly resolve communication problem between computer-vr external devices and steamVR
so all of them mostly are not available (not exist) or there is external apps that can resolve that problem
but they are wary poor build or there is limited free apps that can provide much better tracking but with full gold pro apps they can be wary efficient
Also, what do you mean by "MI" VR/technology?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculus_VR
and there is many proof about similar things
... proof of what?
they are working together
and they depending of each other
cause it's mixed hardware and knowledge
Xiaomi? That's mobile.
yup it is
just like oculus and other vr things that's they based on MI tech
And you're wondering why SteamVR doesn't support it?
You pretty much answered your own concern.
of Corse it is weird right?
Searching for MI VR just pulls up stuff about Xiaomi MI which is some mobile VR system
yes u are right
Just like Gear VR, Oculus Go and so forth, they are NOT supported.
they MUST do something about it
othervise it's really shame of them
You might be able to get somewhere with vridge or riftcat (no idea what it is these days)
There is no shame, the hardware does not support the PC VR titles.
I think what happened was that you did not do your research before making a purchase, and now you've realized your mistake.
Steam VR never supported mobile VR.
Also its the hardware that has to support SteamVR
Not SteamVr the hardware
^
vridge is wary crappy one cause free version give 10 minutes
but if you set up ,calibrate,wait for game to be loaded and connection can be slow
you got only 5 minutes of playing
which is wary unfaire of them
at least they can give 20 minutes
which will be faire
but paid version i dont want to buy
because in my case it's impossible
Your first mistake was buying that headset.
yes
but i don't have so much money
so i am forced to do that
No you weren't forced, you could have saved up for at least even a WMR headset.
Wait how much did you pay for the Mi VR?
plus there is no popular steamvr supported vr headsets,trackers and controllers in my country
and buying them online are wary risky in my country
it's a big gamble if you ask me
Which country are you from?
i spent for MI smartphone,ipega 9023,leap,fullhd webcam 400e
and only smartphone is only 250e
Don't tell me you bought the phone for SteamVR...
Beancan region
it's not reach country and lot of people living like oof (boring normal non digital life)
and mostly tech brought from Europe are pretty useless,not popular
with poor quality.
and if something is really worth it to our country price is doubled
so htc vive that cost 300 or 400 in my country will be like 6 or 800
plus not to mention that i need to upgrade my pc
so in total it will be like 1200e
it's pretty bad right?
Might eb work buying the quest then if you also need to upgrade your pc and all
yes i buy mi 8 lite for steam vr only
and i turn him into gaming machine
and rooted him deinstall some crap and turn off every his communication to outside world
so it can much les iradiate and process better gaming experience
plus i extend battery life
Yeah sorry to break it to you but you really wasted your money, you could have gotten a WMR headset instead.
They cost around 200 bucks cheapest.
But if your PC is weak then that's a whole other issue.
yea it's pretty easy to say then done
because just for what i mention
it was taking 3 years to buy all of it
i know...those hardware's are cheep but in my situation
it is how it is
(i have my reason's why it took's so long to buy all of it)
yeah...maybe
๐ฆ
Honestly, it was stupid.
Insted of buying a VR Headset for a PC you buy a Phone which isnt even ment to be used with a PC.
And you know that.
yeah i know
but i have no choice
caause for me it's mission impossible
We have talked so much about this, you're comming here so often.
Wait, he did this before?
NPF comes here all the time.
Yikes...
This isnt going to change NPF
yes i know but what can i do
since that you now know all my story
Why do you keep bringing it up then?
You're sooooo often comming here and ask for help with things that arent even supposed to work.
Ok look NPF, the bottom line is SteamVR is for PC and PC only. You should have known better.
And the fact that you spent your savings...on a phone for VR? That was a horrible decision.
You could have kept saving for just a little while longer and would have gotten an Oculus Quest.
You spent 400 Euros on all that while just saving a little more, you would have gotten the Quest.
a wmr is the least you could've target it
focus on building a medium gaming pc and then looking into vr
That's why I mentioned the Quest.
well
yes i'm boring and i come to this discord channel and saying
almost sae things all over again
but listen...
tbh
if i'm in deferent situation and country
i will talk with you fpaul and other people about flowers,nice anime girl's
and we all together will enjoy in vr :)
but this is my reality you know...
and i can't change it
so i'm deal with this
and after every 10 minutes in vr i need to logoff from vrchat and back on again
But we can't change it either, no matter how often you come here.
you have to change yourself
There are people I know who live in worse conditions in terms of availability in tech but they solved it by saving up for the PC and VR or just getting the quest.
the quest very accessible for new comers with no pc
YOU however, rushed it.
yeah because now i know
i was just wondering is there is something
...you know something...
some app,hardware hack or bonus hardware or some good step by step guide about how i can set my existing hardware to work properly with steam vr
Did you know it took me 2 weeks just to DECIDE to buy my first VR, the Lenovo Explorer? I wanted to be certain I made a good purchase and in the end I did. It's a DAMN good headset.
Now I got the Rift S and passed the explorer to a friend who never tried VR. I never heard from him again... >_>
He's enjoying it that much lol
lmao
serious note I spoke with him 2 nights back and he's over the moon with the experience so far with VR.
me take's 2 month's
to chose the best vr capable smartphone that is cheapest but also powerful
And he likes the explorer, says it's easy to pack up and move around when changing locations.
you knew even earlier then that time that a Phone isnt gonna be the thing you need. So why have you still gone for it?
He's using a pretty OP laptop so his moving is ever easier.
Wait you WARNED him about it as well?!
Im not joking when i say he comes here all the time. 
NPF I'm really sorry for saying this but are you daft?!
pffahahaha
That's like saying "Don't fire the gun at your foot, it's going to hurt alot" fires anyway
ah...i wish it's little deferent but i have no choice
it's useless mission impossible
because of the mentioned situation
well if i live in deferent country and if i'm wary reach
i would prefer to buy vr sense
now that is vr of future
Oh sweet mother of jesus....
i have no idea.
oof wrong thing
this is the right one
https://www.xsens.com/press-releases/xsens-launches-new-full-body-motion-capture-system-featuring-wireless-motion-trackers/
dead seriouse
๐
but the only one drawback for that device is
that it doesn't have long range wireless charging mechanism
but's it's ok cause nothing is perfect right?
๐
the main drawback is that... it isnt anything for vr. its just a mocap suite.
but mocap suite is like vr
because mocap capture's motion movement
so it's vr right?
absolutely not at all
how come?
mocap suits are for capturing animation sets for 3d animation
usually not even ment for realtime usage
but it also captures human movement
i'm confused
for animation creation
like movies or such
or game animations
but not real time tracking for vr
allthough it might work if it is realtime capapble
it has nothing to do with vr by it self
well we all see that when that person move the vr body skeleton is also move's
at the same real time
right?

Im not gonna continue, its pointless. Its a mocap suite for animation apliance wether its movie, game animations or not.
This is not intendet for vr at all, neither the price now the base idea behind it. While it might be exploited thats not the fild these things are made for.
And with that im out.
I give up, I'm going to work on my world.
as you say so
it's fine by me
A sytsem used for actual live useage where live calculations have to be applied is nothing close to a suit used to record muscle and movement data to give animations an easy plane to work on.
So no, its not a VR capture thing at all
alright alright
you convince me about that tech
but still...
i'm a little bit skeptical about that
nah...
it's ok
just forget about it
has anyone come up with idea how to fix analog fist index controller problem from steam vr bindings ?
I think tupper or some other user posted a temporary solution for it in a canny post about it
i tried rebinding my index controllers but couldnt get fist to be controller it still closes fully when doing fist i remeber it was possible to control on oculus and vive tho
@everyone I love you all

Awwe, nice to spread the love 
Just for future reference, pinging everyone is usually seen as bad discord etiquette, since in a normal situation it would send a notification to everyone on the server. Luckily that is disabled here.
Hope you have a good day ^^
how to stop hackers from crashing vrchat? i have avatar and voice enabled only on all ranks
there is only limited thigns you can do
use the particle limter, and the performance limits
where is that option? never saw it once
the particle limiter is a manual thing, look it up on the website.
ok will check it out thanks
ok but, how not to feel desynced and disconnected from reality?
whatcha mean?
like it feels like things dont exist there anymore so cant pick them up or interact with them
but its not that bad as written
but still kinda weird
Do you guys think the Vrchat Team would take suggestions? I just had an idea and was wondering if i should share it.
sure, there is a whole feature request cathegory on the canny where you can request features or give suggestions
i'm bored i am going to try to get a model of mine into vrchat
xD
or does anybody here do conversion requests/commissions ?
Thank you very much for the help!
like i model myself but i know my stuff is to high poly
i just got FBT it works but it keeps making my avatar non-existent, help?
where does vrchat store the photos taken by the camera?
im the pictures folder
UwU hedoood
What do you guys do in VR? I'm curious
depends. on vrc i talk to people and sometimes do activities that are either social or world-based. my main two games i play atm other than vrc are pavlov and beatsaber. id like to use vr for sculpting, but for now i put the headset on sometimes just for everyday use such as working or even entertainment. id like to use it more often but my PC is too slow and the headset too uncomfy atm
if i had an index and an updated PC it would be a diff story
why? you thinking about getting vr @sly sandal ?
it is uwu
havent had the chance recently due to ambitions and wrestling with s ch ool, but will change soon
Hi. Someone can help me ? I can't publish the avatar that i choosed on Unity to my VRChat. Help me please
need more detail
@vocal shard what ghosto said, we dont know much about ur issue. what specifically stops you from publishing?
I can screen this
aight, good choice
be advised that theprimary channels (this one and all others in this category) dont let media be directly uploaded
link me the image when you have it
also for future endeavors, refer to #avatars-2-general or an appropriate channel in its category for assistance in content creation or technical help
someone needs to recreate captain look in vrchat
captain look its a sea of theives meme
Wat
Anyone ever had someone on Desktop take your pen in Presentation Room while you were using it (in VR) then your controller vibrates until you exit and re-enter the world?
Made me want to yell
damn that still happens?
Yeah had it today
besides blender, what software can i use to make animations my custom avatars?
@desert stratus when are you gonna visit me
okies good, its been ages
yeye
is there any particular reason the vrchat sdk cant be used with unrealengine?
or is it just kind of a hassle/pointless to also port it over
when there is already unity
ah
assuming an sdk were to be made for unreal, that other platform wouldnt offer any real benefits over just unity anyway would it, strictly comparing unreal and unity i mean
not sure if thatd even work 
It doesnt work for unreal because they are two entirely seperate engines
the benefits would be hard to say because it wont come with alot of negatives too
cant know till its done
which it wont be
i have 126 hours on vrchat ๐ฎ
1.5k hours
oh god i only have 83
410 hours, 400 in front or a mirror. 
Only got myself 95 hours. 95 hours of using a soundboard.
Get 3939 ๐
that should take about 50 days or so at my current rate of playing
Keep in mind that just because the number is high doesn't mean you were active all that time. Some people will log in in desktop mode while working on things, or sleep in vr...
like 90% of mine was active for sure, I never really chilled in desktop unless i was logging in to test an avatar for like a second
any good servers to go on
servers wat
any i just want somthing funny to happen
are you talking about discord servers i dont even understand
"servers" is pretty vague
vrchat servers
like vrchat discord servers?
oh they mean worlds i guess
yeah sorry
no, funny stuff just kinda happens in the moment, yo ucan't really just go somewhere where funny stuff is
top 1 is the greatpug
I've heard other people talking about them having voice issues in game as well so it's not just you. I don't have any issues at the moment. Apart from lag. But that's probably just my computer.
i got a feeling it is for me
Hey, iโve been having a problem where all my avatars, custom or from worlds, have their arms bent forward when my hands are at my side. Idk how to fix it
ะฟัะธะฒะตั

wonder if I can point out abusive users here
although I'm more interested in how the crap I deal with this zyxel pos
abusive users? how do you mean?
someone grabbing an IP for DoS
ooh.
decided to be persistent and hunted him down
and let him have more fun
all the while being smug about him saying "you should've done better things with your life"
well, besides the fact his apparent "knowledge" is being wasted on DoSing players out of a game... ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
and I've been spending my days doing actual work.
Report him if its you
oh, he did poke me
I'm gonna be contacting my ISP to tell them to check network logs
Iirc name call outs are not allow so ye and thats good
report him if it's me tho? what
report him if youre the one being ddosed, is what she meant.
or at least, thats what Im gathering.
Yes
Grab evidence ye
they were also being a little shit too
"do you have a mic?", person shakes head
then continues to relentlessly ask them "what about now, do you have a mic?"
told him the answer he already knew, "you need to shut up", and then DoS
The world is filled with many weird people
many people whose life is so sad and depressing that they have to resort to feeling superior in some way
Yeah that is sad
problem is: I know that, if I had an OpenWRT router on hand (as I've been pestering dad about), I could've already told him back his IP, and just stood there during the would-be attempted DoS.
And then possibly attach Tor to Steam Voice next time.
Do wonder tho if they're thinking of breaking in
Using their knowledge to pick on and possibly worse target people in vrc, a video game
yeh
while ignoring the chances of running into some potentially skilled black hat
who could go back and "finish the job"
tips fedora nothing personel
That makes me questioning if the blocking feature in vrc will even you protect cuz then you still appear on the social list
it seems ip grabbing hooks to steam voice
Oh okay so....just dont talk at all?
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
If they are also using steam it's still sending the steam voice, best to just launch the game without steam
disconnecting it means also not hearing anyone else
Not true
and the game literally relies on steam voice as a protocol
so basically, even if non steam, still has steam voice
because that's what it uses, in and out of steam
๐ค
Steam is free to use which is why they use it when possible
Valve also just updated it so you can't grab ips
It's down to vrchat to update it into the game
then why is there talk of steam voice?
And how does IP grabbing work via that?
Via steam?
It's peer to peer, it's essentially handing your ip to the person
Because that's how you connect
I think photon has a similar but more convoluted issue but I can't remember
No, outside Steam
Photon only has crash/logout/etc issues.
That's it
๐ค
Theoretically photon is always running behind steam anyway because you need to be able to hear people who aren't using steam
So your best bet is just no steam
a good place to look is in the #community-servers-old in a server called VRC Traders
@vocal shard what are you after?
This isnโt really some kinda answer I think support might answer but anyone know how I can prevent doxxers and people from getting private info?
Would be nice to kinda talk about it in the dm ๐
@turbid torrent No way, is it from the original creator?
I'm in there now, I'm kinda afraid that it might be a rip from the cache though, considering how the windows and the lighting is a bit weird.
The lighting is bad, but it's still the old shrine. I'll just ask Root ont witter.
Don't want to get my hopes up just to have em take it away again T_T

@turbid torrent Thanks for telling me btw, no idea how you knew that it was my favorite map, but ayy
is anyone else having any issues signing in?
I can't select any buttons on the login screen, nothing works
@turbid torrent Apparently it was an illegal copy judging from Rootgentle's tweet.
@turbid torrent u smell
I just realised I pinged mycelium and it might not even be the same one I know in game
Excuse me, my game keep crashing about 10 minutes after I launch it
Can someone help me ?
Hey, iโve been having a problem where all my avatars, custom or from worlds, have their arms bent forward when my hands are at my side. Idk how to fix it
im not a pro at troubleshooting by any means, but try fiddling around with height maybe? fixed my leg problems with avatars i use
@vocal shard thatโs a problem with view position. Mostly people not putting view position at 0 on X and Z
9 times out of 10, only Yโs view position should be non-zero
I just got a new computer so i haven't downloaded all the unity stuff yet and i forgot to transfer over my custom avatar. anyway i can get it back? like, from vrchat or whatever?
If you did future proof publish, they store a unitypackage of your scene. Downloading it is not officially supported though I would contact support.
And if you Didnโt future proof publish then no as far as I am aware they do not store the uncompiled unity assets
RIP
Bonjour tout le monde
alright lets see if i remember how to set up my avatar
just gotta do it from scratch, lmao
@glad maple Un franรงais !???
Is anyone else getting kicked out of the website as soon as they log in or is it just me?
How would i make a tail fall with dynamic bones?
it sways and stuff just fine, but its sticking straight out from my butt
Pose it in its natural pose before adding dynamic bones.
uh, how do i do that? lmao
oh ok thanks. last time i set up my avatar i had to have a guy sit in a call with me for like 4 hours helping me, idrk what im doing lmao
@languid beacon that worked perfectly, thanks
hey guys. downloaded the game like an hour ago. had a walk around and didnt know what the f was going on lol
Yo @vocal shard still remember the old days in the hub and people stopping by your office In vrchat where people could ring you within vrchat for support? Do you think there will be an veteran re-union event someday in vrchat?
Veteran rank, rise uuuup
I wish I could find those old memes I made, I had like two of the first Trust system memes lol
OH WAIT i can just cross reference the dates holdup
They need to make a rank above Vet called Legends
then one above that called "a"
https://puu.sh/E6MGT/1ddc479788.png Oh I found it
I really wanna make an avatar, where its the minecraft parrot and when you press like f4 or smth it does the already dead dance with animations and stuff
but i dont have the experience to do it
https://puu.sh/E6MIe/5fa9019a0f.jpg and this one
Issues with invites into private worlds is starting to have IRL impact on people's depression and anxiety.
Where do you guys drop asdk link to me please
@steel plume maybe they should see a professional about it
if someones in open beta can non beta people not see them?
correct
ah
theres a program that can allow psvr to work, though its a little wonky.
The question is if he wants to run VR Chat using a PSVR headset on a PC or on a PS4
Issues with invites into private worlds is starting to have IRL impact on people's depression and anxiety. Then stop being in a private room LOL
idk sounds like an easy solution to a complex problem
The instance type I really want is friends only + instance owner approved invite requests
Yeah, more customization for room types would be nice
I am confused, so I logged into VRChat earlier to join back into my friend's world after crashing. I was waiting for my social to load and I saw something at the spawn it said Moderation Ban, it disappeared when I ran to go see what else it said, I have no idea what it was ๐
probably nothing to worry about youd know if yo uwere banned
One issue I have with Invite+ is that I can't actually invite anyone, I have to be requested on
Being able to customize the permissions for the room though would be great, or just having better presets
Who can come in: nobody | friends | friends of friends | anyone
Who can send invites: nobody | friends | anyone
Owner approved invites: yes / no
I think that covers most of it?
Although nobody is kinda more of "they can do the thing, but not without permission"
Yeah, a system like that with invite requests actually being sent to the invite owner once the other person who get the initial request accepts it would be great
I think invite only says something like "You can ask the room owner to invite them" but you cant actually do that unless youre friends
make an ingame anim
go in game and make an anim
You guys ever get to the point where you would erp to make money for a vr set?
hahahh, no???
Well it seems I'm a minority here. I'll be taking my leave now.
lol paying for something readily given for free
I dont know how you monetize erp
Maybe if the supply was lower than the demand but it's definitely not
e-prostitution? and yeah, it's already very popular in vrc
Paying for dances maybe, but you'd already need VR at that point lol
forbidden stuff always gets high interest ๐
i guess you could also maybe sell it, but nobody's gonna buy that shit
sell it as in any recorded media of ERP
I mean it's only "forbidden", it's pretty common though in a lot of circles
often done, still forbidden
oh, i guess it is still forbidden technically
the real pro tactics is to just not erp at all and make money through other, valid means, or actual prostitution for a change, idk
i don't even think that crosses people's minds as part of the draw though since most people seem to think "oh its all ok in private rooms"
funny enough someone i reported for being stupid and walking around in a nude avatar was in a private, and unless they checked internally, I never even said what type of room it was when i reported it and they were still banned
I mean they allegedly dont check whether a room is public or not. Not like it matters, it has been pretty clear since day 1 that they allegedly do not take into account when you report someone. It is surprising that they have not implemented a little watermark in the top stating whether the instance is public/friends+/private for video footage yet. I also don't think instance info is logged on entering either in the logs. Sooo, again. Best be on your best behaviour when it comes to private anyways. Anyone can rat you out.
Still find it funny that the most popular instance currently is a copyright infringement to the nth degree which usually was taken down within seconds before. Oh well, guess we are at that point.
It certainly is interesting, how far the community has come though. Looking forward to see where it goes. ๐
That changed with the introduction of the community labs. Originally it was a private world you could only access via link, so it was somewhat exclusive "underground" map, but I did check with a staff member before it even entered community labs to make sure there wouldn't be any issues with it, and the answer I got was basically "we don't moderate community labs worlds unless they become a problem" or something along those lines.
So the map is currently in community labs?
Well, I don't know I just stopped reporting maps since my reports were unanswered and I was worried I was pissing them off.
Probably means the maps you were reporting weren't reported enough or were found to be a non-issue
They don't really have a guideline on reporting maps anyways. Kinda have to point to Community Guidelines or Terms of Service which aren't really applicable in most cases.
At least not in the lane of what is acceptable or not in terms of whats inside the map.
Sure they are
I can grab any random section and it's likely applicable
Hate speech, including language, symbols, and actions.
first one I scrolled to. So no swastikas, slur text, etc
Also referred to as โDoxxingโ, disclosing an individuals personal information will result in immediate account termination and actions leading up to alerting local authorities.
Another. Don't put people's private info in a world
Fair enough.
Pornography & nudity is not allowed.
Goes without saying. nude models in your world, photos, etc
here's a new one i havent seen before, maybe i always skimmed past it https://puu.sh/E6TrT/1662f92438.png
Yeah, I don't know when that was put there.
TBH I don't really care about the copyright infringement thing anyways as an outsider looking at it, have fun and enjoy yourselves while it lasts. I just find it highly amusing considering the past. Again, it is just kinda silly.
I guess it has to be the target of a DMCA before actions get taken.
Yeah, it'd probably just go private again if that happened. The movies are all externally hosted, so its really just a bunch of buttons with links anyway
True
Either way, I am happy with the development side. Soo I don't really know why I even butted in. Guess, it was my weekly 4 AM grumpiness getting the better of me. Peace.
Waiting for Index to get to retail in Norway like ๐
Be glad you will get the second run, hopefully they fix the controllers
I need to find some cheap 2.0 wands so i can just upgrade to full 2.0 with that
not a fan of how much i see people struggle to gesture
On?
Index is a toggle between fingers and gestures
Just a new system that takes some getting used to
um....hey there
You still have to perfectly do the gesture on toggle to get it to work, im not really a fan of that
You could rebind them
Second Run Index hype
for me gestures trump fingers, i like the expressiveness of my face more than finger gimmicks that i have to shove in peoples face
Ah I forgot about facial features
Oh i shoudlve specified that, yeah. my dislike of the index controllers/their implementation is pretty much a me thing
most people enjoy them, but i dont know many people who like their facial expressions as much as I do
Controlling that stuff with your hand has never been ideal, but I know Gallium does fine with face and fingers
ive definitely noticed my friends doing less face gestures after getting them too
Finger tracking is the future to be fair and you have to think of applications outside of mirror simulator 9000 ๐
