There's a post on reddit about 3rd tracker issue

#

Well then go to the appropriate channels my dude

#

Google is EXCELLENT for this stuff

rigid crescent
#

probably a pc issue

tawny ore
#

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

wise perch
#

hows about the toxicity gets turned down a bit and you actually accept the assistance Fuzz is trying to give you?

tawny ore
#

Don't side with me dem lol

#

I'm very abrupt at times.

#

^ he gets it

#

Well I give up helpin' ya my dude.

wise perch
#

dick or not, his assistance is blunt and he is trying to help.

tawny ore
#

Probably better for both of us.

You're not the bad guy; stop painting yourself ๐Ÿ™‚

#

It's an early morning, you were in the wrong channel and I'm terribly blunt with my wording.

dapper stump
#

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.

tawny ore
#

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?

dapper stump
#

All good :d soon coming up to 3am but yeah vrcAevSip

tawny ore
#

Ohh you're a states/canadianiansian

#

@wise perch So this is how it feels to be from the future...

dapper stump
#

Yeah how is it over there in the future? Anything new yet

wise perch
#

neh?

#

nope, lol. still bleh. no new tech, nothin of importance X3

tawny ore
#

Dem-1 is like 12 hours ahead of you wolfie

#

I'm only 4 hours ahead... and can confirm - no new tech

dapper stump
#

Oh damn 12 hours? You celebrate new year almost a day ahead...

wise perch
#

lmao

dapper stump
#

Means 1999 to 2000 you were a whole century ahead

tawny ore
#

woosh

vocal shard
tawny ore
#

I remember the countdown... but because I was like 8; I had no concept of why that year was important.

dapper stump
#

The only thing that changed that year was my birds ripped all at once

vocal shard
#

"all the computers and clocks are going to break!"

#

Lol

dapper stump
#

Only thing that broke were my birds exactly at 12 after the countdown

tawny ore
#

I am so confused XD What birds

wise perch
#

cockatoos? parrots? owls? or maybeh pigeons?

tawny ore
#

inb4 toucans

dapper stump
#

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

tawny ore
#

o,..,0

wise perch
#

....intriguing.

tawny ore

That reminds me of that series where everyone in the world passed out for like 2 minutes

tawny ore

Qhala this was on my clipboard in anticipation of your message: "Qhala you're breathtaking!"

wise perch

lmao. why was that on your clipboard, if i might ask?

snow wadi
#

Oh mai! โค

You're all breathtaking! โค

winged thistle
#

@rough pulsar you said you have the Index right? what headset did you have before?

rotund wren
#

howdy gamers

winged thistle
#

or anyone having an Index headset here?

rotund wren
#

only the controllers

winged thistle
#

I got the headset today and tried it out for a bit... there seems to be a... glaring issue

#

๐Ÿ˜

#

hopefully that's just something you get used to, but right now the glare is pretty bad

rough pulsar
#

@winged thistle vive then vive pro then index

coarse rock
#

I have the Index, full kit

#

I guess I'm one of the few who hasn't any issues whatsoever ๐Ÿ˜…

rough pulsar
#

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.

winged thistle
#

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

coarse rock
#

I'd say spend some more time adjusting the HMD

winged thistle
#

but it's definitely more glarin than the OG Vive

rough pulsar
#

I wouldn't say more, just different. I've mostly got used to the Index's glare now.

coarse rock
#

Same w/ me

winged thistle
#

okay, guess I'll give it a few days and see if I can get used to it...

coarse rock
#

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.

rough pulsar
#

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.

winged thistle
#

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

rough pulsar
#

Huh, the Index's speakers are super-bassy for me.

coarse rock
#

I was going to say the same

winged thistle
#

maybe it's just what I'm used to

#

I'm used to wearing my closed back headphones

#

which have a nice pronounced bass

rough pulsar
#

Valve did intentionally go for a very even frequency response for the speakers

winged thistle
#

but yeah I can feel them vibrating pretty hard when playing music

ruby needle
#

closed cirSlain

winged thistle
#

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

ruby needle
#

muh DT880 are comfy cirComfy

winged thistle
#

yeah I can't do over-ear

ruby needle
#

on ear? cirSlain

winged thistle
#

I have yet to find a pair of headphones where my earlobes don't touch the drivers

#

oh they looked like over-ear

ruby needle
#

yes, i mean.... you use on ear and use comfy in the same sentence

winged thistle
#

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_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

rough pulsar
#

@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

winged thistle
#

mkay

#

also, the room view looks kinda trippy but neat

coarse rock
#

I play with the lights off :p

tawny ore
#

I only play when the lights go out ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

Although my Rift S disagrees with my opinions.

rough pulsar
#

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

winged thistle
#

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

tawny ore
#

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

winged thistle
#

I haven't tried the actual camera view yet if there is one

rough pulsar
#

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.

coarse rock
#

I've used it like once/twice, haven't found a practical use for it tbh

rough pulsar
#

With my vive I had the camera activate on chaperone bounds, since it made grabbing stuff outside of the play space super easy.

winged thistle
#

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

tawny ore
#

I open bottles of beer with all my VR implements still on my body XD

winged thistle
#

I mean yeah ti's good enough to grab something, but meh

rough pulsar
#

Mainly for grabbing a drink and adjusting the AC

tawny ore
#

It looks and sounds really funny to people in VRC

winged thistle
#

I can imagine

coarse rock
#

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

rough pulsar
#

On more than one occasion I've eaten in VRC with all my gear on.

winged thistle
#

I played sitting in my chair the other day and wanted to grab the blanket from the couch without getting up

rough pulsar
#

Hmm, I should make a food eatability rating chart for the index controllers ๐Ÿค”

tawny ore
#

Index controllers sound ace for eating

coarse rock
#

If I'm eating while playing, I give myself a time to just take off my controllers and not touch them lmao

tawny ore
#

Although the thumb reach thing might be a bit wonky

winged thistle
#

I have found that even grabbing a glass is hard with just one hand with the Knuckles

rough pulsar
#

For stuff like pizza or toast they're super-easy to eat with.

winged thistle
#

๐Ÿค”

rough pulsar
#

burgers are a bit more awkward

tawny ore
#

Huh... Oculus touch controllers let me hold beers easily; but yeah holding a glass requires 2 hands for maximum security

winged thistle
#

I wouldn't even put my controllers anywhere near food tbh

rough pulsar
#

I have spares ๐Ÿคฃ

coarse rock
#

I've gotten fairly decent at typing with them on, it's still awkward af to move my mouse ๐Ÿ˜†

winged thistle
#

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

coarse rock
#

Ah, you still have the 1.0s?

winged thistle
#

yeah

#

I started with the OG Vive and am slowly upgrading to Index now

coarse rock
#

You'll notice a huge difference in tracking once you get the 2.0s

winged thistle
#

so I heard

rough pulsar
#

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

winged thistle
#

wait, v2 trackers?

coarse rock
#

I'd assume 2018

winged thistle
#

right, you can't use 1.0 hardware with 2.0 lighthouses right?

vocal shard
#

index is the best for full body users

coarse rock
#

Yeah you can

rough pulsar
#

blue button, as opposed to the dev trackers which have a grey button

vocal shard
#

just buy an index

coarse rock
#

I have the 2018s

rough pulsar
#

v1 sensors do not work with v2 lighthouses

winged thistle
#

that's what I meant, yeah

rough pulsar
#

v2 sensors will work with either v1 or v2 lighthouses

vocal shard
#

if you have vive trackers buy an index if you dont plan on getting trackers get the index anyways

coarse rock
#

Ah, I've never had the v1 trackers aha, so I wouldn't know

tawny ore
#

What if I don't want an index? what do I get then?

vocal shard
#

get a rift s

coarse rock
#

I guess he'd say an index

winged thistle
#

get a Quest LUL

tawny ore
#

I really, really love the flexibility of the quest... It has no trackers so it fits in the garbage super easy

vocal shard
#

buy an index or rift s if you want a headset

tawny ore
#

I got a Rift S ๐Ÿ™‚

coarse rock
#

imagine a quest for vrc

tawny ore
#

Imagine Go for VRC

winged thistle
coarse rock
#

yikes lmao

vocal shard
#

@winged thistle

rough pulsar
#

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.

tawny ore
#

Imagine Nintendo labo for VRC XD

coarse rock
#

pog

vocal shard
#

I use the index with my vive 2.0 trackers and 2.0 valve bases

rough pulsar
#

@winged thistle Yes, they will work with index lighthouses and vive lighthouses.

vocal shard
#

you just turn them on the same way with the vive and vive pro...

winged thistle
#

okay, wasn't sure cause it didn't state if they're "2.0" or not

tawny ore
#

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)

vocal shard
#

I have a vive, oculus, and index

#

they all work with full body except the oculus has scuffed tracking

rough pulsar
#

Vive, Vive Pro, Acer WMR, Index.

coarse rock
#

eh not really

vocal shard
#

oculus will glitch if you pass your controller over the hip

ruby needle
#

well vive and index are both using the same tracking system

coarse rock
#

Ehhh.. Not really either. If you hold the controller up to the tracker, yeah.

ruby needle
#

the oculus needs some special precautions to work with the vive system (matching playspaces)

tawny ore
#

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.

vocal shard
#

you fly off the map

coarse rock
#

Just run it through SteamVR, use some external programs, and bam. Good to go.

vocal shard
#

when you pass your oculus controller over the vive tracker

coarse rock
#

Not literally right when you pass it over the tracker

indigo fern
#

If you've ever seen a fbt user have their hip launched into space ๐Ÿ‘Œ

coarse rock
#

It's not that scuffed

rough pulsar
#

Happens horrifically with v1 trackers since Constellation devices flash shit-tons of bright IR light across the same spectrum as lighthouse works on

tawny ore
#

Oh the hip thing is hilarious; I've seen them look like an octopus

vocal shard
#

just dont sit and put the hip tracker on your back for better oculus hybrid vive tracking

rough pulsar
#

Much less so with v2 since the sensors work a little differently.

coarse rock
#

^ Yeah, I used the 2018 trackers w/ oculus, I actually rarely had tracking loss due to me moving my controller close to the tracker

vocal shard
#

if you sit a lot it will happen

coarse rock
#

I guess at that point it depends on your playspace

tawny ore
#

Elemental I'm gonna be using a Rift S with vive trackers soon xD It will be a glorious mess

vocal shard
#

just get an index

coarse rock
#

Shouldn't be that bad tbh

tawny ore
#

Shove that index up your many places

coarse rock
#

lmao, dawg not everyone can drop 1k

rough pulsar
#

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.

coarse rock
#

I feel like he'd tell someone new to vr to get an index

tawny ore
#

I actually, genuinely do not like the knuckles on the index. And the screen - I could take it or leave it.

rough pulsar
#

Have you tried them?

tawny ore
#

I have and I was not a fan; the fingers sometimes get stuck in weird positions

#

And they don't feel durable

rough pulsar
#

Oh they're durable as fuck

tawny ore
#

Perhaps I had some potato version then

coarse rock
#

I punched my wall while playing blade & sorcery in fb lmao

tawny ore
#

xD

coarse rock
#

my wall had a small dent my controllers didnt

rough pulsar
#

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.

coarse rock
#

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

rough pulsar
#

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.

tawny ore
#

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

coarse rock
#

I'd say the knuckles are like the touch controllers on crack

rough pulsar
#

For vrchat, no.
For other games, you'd be surprised.

tawny ore
#

Perhaps but the only other game I play in VR uses a HOTAS, not VR controls ๐Ÿ™‚

rough pulsar
#

With all the additional finger data throwing mechanics can be improved massively

hardy crystal
#

Anyone else having trouble loading in?

tawny ore
#

Yes; work is stopping me from playing VRC

coarse rock
#

Something I must say I'm pretty hyped for is Boneworks.

#

One of the reasons I'm glad to have the Index

tawny ore
#

I've done some good boneworks in my time... giggety

#

Sorry I'll stop that now XD

coarse rock
#

lmao you heard of boneworks?

tawny ore
#

Nope

vocal shard
#

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

vale palm
#

smt up with vrc? cant spawn into worlds

sacred drift
#

Not been on today, sorry canโ€™t confirm

winged thistle
#

worked fine for me a bit earlier

warped flume
#

works fine for me @vale palm

winged thistle
#

also, how do you clean the Index face gasket? just wash it with some warm water and a bit of soap?

tawny ore
#

I just put my entire HMD in the dishwasher (this is a joke)

#

Nah, I actually put my face in the dishwasher.

vale palm
#

weird, its stuck at initializing world, twice, for 30s each before it loads me into a world

rough pulsar
#

@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.

winged thistle
#

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

true lodge
#

I have a warning

pure hemlock
#

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

vestal pier
#

Their joystick is a shitshow.

#

i cant wait for hardware revisions

#

so i can finally pick one up!!

snow wadi
#

I would wait for a second revision.

#

Stop reading my mind >_>

pure hemlock
#

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

vocal shard
#

Iโ€™d say the vive controllers are the best, however theyโ€™re so likely to break that I canโ€™t possibly give them praise. Not worth the money Iโ€™ve spent on em

winged thistle
#

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

pure hemlock
#

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

winged thistle
#

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

vestal pier
#

The finger tracking does learn as you play right?

pure hemlock
#

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

winged thistle
#

it does, yeah

vestal pier
#

I thought so.

#

Does it forget each time its turned off?

pure hemlock
#

No

winged thistle
#

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

pure hemlock
#

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

winged thistle
#

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_(ใƒ„)_/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 >_>

rough pulsar
#

Valve did release 3d files for a frunk cover so you could have a replacement printed that's not so shiny.

languid beacon
#

I wish they wouldโ€™ve kept the EV2 design of 5 individual sensors

#

And not done the whole dynamic calibration thing

winged thistle
#

oh well, Valve is just a small indie company, they're still learning. Kappa

coarse rock
#

I vinyl wrapped my frunk piece

winged thistle
#

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

First update to my Armacham Technologies world is complete!

winged thistle
#

so, playing Beat Saber at 120Hz is definitely a different experience

rough pulsar
#

Crank that baby up to 144 ๐ŸŒญ

winged thistle
#

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?

rough pulsar
#

Generally higher up than you'd think

winged thistle
#

okay, that'd explain it then

#

cause I had it like in a straight line with the headset

rough pulsar
#

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.

winged thistle
#

yeah

#

same

rough pulsar
#

On the Vive with the DAS, Vive Pro and Rift.

#

And Index obvs

winged thistle
#

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?!

rough pulsar
#

You don't have to have it on very tight either.

winged thistle
#

some people have bigger noses like me, and the headset is basically resting on just the bridge of my nose

rough pulsar
#

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.

winged thistle
#

damn so far vrcover.com only has slip on covers for the Index

compact river
#

you have problems with the pads?

winged thistle
#

yeah, they're too thin for my liking/not existing where tehy should be

#

but maybe I'm just holding wearing it wrong

compact river
#

never felt it touch my nose before

winged thistle
#

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

vocal shard
#

Oogabooga

#

I like the index

compact river
#

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

winged thistle
#

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

vocal shard
#

Yeah no true black

winged thistle
#

but I guess I knew that going into it...

rough pulsar
#

Ooo, if your blacks are really washed out you might have the vive colour correction bug

winged thistle
#

vrchat as a whole felt kinda washed out/lacking in contrast

rough pulsar
#

That could also be shitty post-processing

winged thistle
#

what do?

compact river
#

ya for mine it has to be really extreme before i have problems

Soul speaks hp02

rough pulsar
#

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

winged thistle
#

mmkay

compact river
#

my steam vr is 100% bugged out after the last update

rough pulsar
#

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

winged thistle
#

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 ?

rough pulsar
#

Yup

winged thistle
#

yay downloading 1.6gig with 4MB/s >_>

#

god I hope at the new place I'll have at least a few 100 mbit downstream

ruby needle
#

"a few" honestly a 50k downstream and 10k upstream is more then enogh.

winged thistle
#

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

ruby needle
#

well

#

4MB/s isnt too far off

#

thats 32mbit

winged thistle
#

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 34โ‚ฌ/month for this service...

ruby needle
#

LTE Home network? cirSlain

winged thistle
#

yes

ruby needle
#

The biggest joke on the planet, but lets not dive into that.

winged thistle
#

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...

compact river
#

i had 500kb b4

#

4mb is like 8x

#

now i have 200mb/s

winged thistle
#

wait a second... @rough pulsar is that right that it stored my room setup?

rough pulsar
#

That too

winged thistle
#

ok

#

well Icant really see much difference

winged thistle
#

Murder 2 map still looks pretty washed out imo

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 doesnโ€™t let me load in

#

And I think it might be the servers being weird because itโ€™s only doing this to me..

languid beacon
#

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

odd radish
#

anyone know why i keep spawning in the hyperdimension of ozicom world when i open vrc?

#

its not my home btw

tough mural
#

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

languid beacon
#

If thatโ€™s what youโ€™re loading into then itโ€™s your home

tough mural
#

@odd radish it happens to me too

#

I never spawn in my home

#

And now I canโ€™t load into vrchat

languid beacon
#

Just get a new end point connection and you wonโ€™t need a vpn

odd radish
#

also why doesnt emotes work on mirrors

tough mural
#

How do I do that @languid beacon ?

languid beacon
#

Unplug your router for 30 seconds, typically

tough mural
#

Ohh okay let me try

languid beacon
#

Pengle certain properties donโ€™t 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 isnโ€™t the problem, let me know

tough mural
#

It still doesnโ€™t work

#

I tried unplugging my router and stuff but it still doesnโ€™t load in

polar elm
#

Check the router settings.

tough mural
#

How?

No, but is anyone else forced to use the website to check when friends are online or not?

no not so far

crimson bridge

Because in order for me to update my friends list, I have to either favourite everyone, or restart my game.

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

@mighty cradle do you use a Steam or a VRChat account?

@crimson bridge ovrtoolkit is really good for seeing your browser

#

Could be one solution. But it does cost something like 13$ on steam

still lark
#

I'd say it worth it for how much some people use it. lol

vocal shard
#

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 itโ€™s pretty good, having an improved Rolex in game is useful, along with the desktop interaction

torn nebula
#

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

vocal shard
#

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

@vocal shard yeah that will not sit well with the community

#

Considering there r multiple ways to crash someone

umbral reef
#

Then use the particle limiter and you got exactly what you wanted

meager solstice
#

^ or use the saftey settings

#

But adding the particle limiter to the game like the dynamic bone limiter would be a good idea

umbral reef
#

Its already a thing, just has to be done manually

winged thistle
#

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...

rough pulsar
#

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.

winged thistle
#

yeah I kinda wanna wait and see if like vrcover.com or any other site comes out with their aftermarket versions

elfin cloak
#

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

rough pulsar
#

All of these things are very possible with SteamVR, you just need the appropriate driver software for it.

elfin cloak
#

leap for example and mi smartphones drivers can not be found on steam store

rough pulsar
#

You're very unlikely to find stuff like that on Steam

#

A very commonly used SteamVR Plugin, OpenVR Advanced Settings isn't on Steam.

snow wadi
#

To put simply : Those are not OFFICIALLY supported by Steam VR.

rough pulsar
#

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.

elfin cloak
#

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

rough pulsar
#

Also, what do you mean by "MI" VR/technology?

elfin cloak
rough pulsar
#

... proof of what?

snow wadi
#

Wait

#

That's a mobile VR.

elfin cloak
#

they are working together
and they depending of each other
cause it's mixed hardware and knowledge

snow wadi
#

Xiaomi? That's mobile.

elfin cloak
#

yup it is
just like oculus and other vr things that's they based on MI tech

snow wadi
#

And you're wondering why SteamVR doesn't support it?

#

You pretty much answered your own concern.

elfin cloak
#

of Corse it is weird right?

rough pulsar
#

Searching for MI VR just pulls up stuff about Xiaomi MI which is some mobile VR system

snow wadi
#

^

#

I think he got the Mi VR and was expecting it to work with SteamVR.

elfin cloak
#

yes u are right

snow wadi
#

Just like Gear VR, Oculus Go and so forth, they are NOT supported.

elfin cloak
#

they MUST do something about it
othervise it's really shame of them

rough pulsar
#

You might be able to get somewhere with vridge or riftcat (no idea what it is these days)

snow wadi
#

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.

umbral reef
#

Also its the hardware that has to support SteamVR
Not SteamVr the hardware

snow wadi
#

^

elfin cloak
#

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

snow wadi
#

Your first mistake was buying that headset.

elfin cloak
#

yes
but i don't have so much money
so i am forced to do that

snow wadi
#

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?

elfin cloak
#

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

snow wadi
#

Which country are you from?

elfin cloak
#

i spent for MI smartphone,ipega 9023,leap,fullhd webcam 400e

and only smartphone is only 250e

snow wadi
#

Don't tell me you bought the phone for SteamVR...

elfin cloak
#

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?

umbral reef
#

Might eb work buying the quest then if you also need to upgrade your pc and all

elfin cloak
#

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

snow wadi
#

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.

elfin cloak
#

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
๐Ÿ˜ฆ

snow wadi
#

I'm sorry but your decision was not the best.

#

You rushed it.

ruby needle
#

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.

elfin cloak
#

yeah i know
but i have no choice
caause for me it's mission impossible

ruby needle
#

We have talked so much about this, you're comming here so often.

snow wadi
#

Wait, he did this before?

ruby needle
#

NPF comes here all the time.

snow wadi
#

Yikes...

ruby needle
#

This isnt going to change NPF

elfin cloak
#

yes i know but what can i do
since that you now know all my story

ruby needle
#

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.

snow wadi
#

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.

ruby needle
#

or a rift s

#

or a wmr

#

or even a vive

#

an actual thing

slate verge
#

a wmr is the least you could've target it

snow wadi
#

His PC won't cut it for those.

#

He just said his PC BARELY runs games.

slate verge
#

focus on building a medium gaming pc and then looking into vr

snow wadi
#

That's why I mentioned the Quest.

elfin cloak
#

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

ruby needle
#

But we can't change it either, no matter how often you come here.

slate verge
#

you have to change yourself

snow wadi
#

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.

slate verge
#

the quest very accessible for new comers with no pc

snow wadi
#

YOU however, rushed it.

elfin cloak
#

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

snow wadi
#

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

slate verge
#

lmao

snow wadi
#

serious note I spoke with him 2 nights back and he's over the moon with the experience so far with VR.

elfin cloak
#

me take's 2 month's
to chose the best vr capable smartphone that is cheapest but also powerful

snow wadi
#

And he likes the explorer, says it's easy to pack up and move around when changing locations.

ruby needle
#

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?

snow wadi
#

He's using a pretty OP laptop so his moving is ever easier.

#

Wait you WARNED him about it as well?!

ruby needle
#

Im not joking when i say he comes here all the time. cirHuh

snow wadi
#

NPF I'm really sorry for saying this but are you daft?!

wise perch
#

pffahahaha

snow wadi
#

That's like saying "Don't fire the gun at your foot, it's going to hurt alot" fires anyway

elfin cloak
#

ah...i wish it's little deferent but i have no choice
it's useless mission impossible
because of the mentioned situation

slate verge
#

just buy a quest and be done with it

#

start saving up, be very strict

elfin cloak
#

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

that it doesn't have long range wireless charging mechanism

#

but's it's ok cause nothing is perfect right?
๐Ÿ™‚

lunar cloak
#

truen

#

true*

ruby needle
#

the main drawback is that... it isnt anything for vr. its just a mocap suite.

elfin cloak
#

but mocap suite is like vr
because mocap capture's motion movement
so it's vr right?

ruby needle
#

absolutely not at all

elfin cloak
#

how come?

ruby needle
#

mocap suits are for capturing animation sets for 3d animation

#

usually not even ment for realtime usage

elfin cloak
#

but it also captures human movement

ruby needle
#

yes

#

but thats not vr

#

its just a mocap suite

elfin cloak
#

i'm confused

ruby needle
#

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

elfin cloak
#

well we all see that when that person move the vr body skeleton is also move's
at the same real time

#

right?

ruby needle
#

what vr do you see

#

nothing with vr

#

its a mocap suite

elfin cloak
snow wadi
ruby needle
#

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.

snow wadi
#

I give up, I'm going to work on my world.

elfin cloak
#

as you say so
it's fine by me

umbral reef
#

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

elfin cloak
#

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

there is only limited thigns you can do

the particle limiter is a manual thing, look it up on the website.

if i had an index and an updated PC it would be a diff story

hushed drift
#

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

rigid crescent
#

Because its made for unity

#

and the game is in unity

hushed drift
#

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

rigid crescent
#

not sure if thatd even work vrcTrollThinking

vestal pier
#

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 was just trying to see if something existed

is it just me

or are there voice issues currently

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, iโ€™ve 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

abusive users? how do you mean?

mighty cradle

someone grabbing an IP for DoS

wise perch

ooh.

mighty cradle
#

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_(ใƒ„)_/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

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

mighty cradle
#

many people whose life is so sad and depressing that they have to resort to feeling superior in some way

slate verge
#

Yeah that is sad

mighty cradle
#

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

slate verge
#

Using their knowledge to pick on and possibly worse target people in vrc, a video game

That makes me questioning if the blocking feature in vrc will even you protect cuz then you still appear on the social list

mighty cradle
#

it seems ip grabbing hooks to steam voice

slate verge
#

Oh okay so....just dont talk at all?

mighty cradle
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

vestal pier
#

If they are also using steam it's still sending the steam voice, best to just launch the game without steam

mighty cradle
#

disconnecting it means also not hearing anyone else

vestal pier
#

Not true

mighty cradle
#

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

vestal pier
#

Nope

#

It uses photon voice asset

#

It's free on the asset store ๐Ÿ˜„

mighty cradle
#

๐Ÿค”

vestal pier
#

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

mighty cradle
#

then why is there talk of steam voice?

vestal pier
#

Because it is used.

#

When you connect with steam

#

Without steam it's using photon

mighty cradle
#

And how does IP grabbing work via that?

vestal pier
#

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

mighty cradle
#

No, outside Steam

vestal pier
#

Oh, various methods

#

The same way someone grabs your ip any other time

still lark
#

Photon only has crash/logout/etc issues.

vestal pier
#

That's it

mighty cradle
#

๐Ÿค”

vestal pier
#

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

@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.

@vocal shard thatโ€™s a problem with view position. Mostly people not putting view position at 0 on X and Z

9 times out of 10, only Yโ€™s view position should be non-zero

vocal shard

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?

languid beacon
#

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 Didnโ€™t future proof publish then no as far as I am aware they do not store the uncompiled unity assets

theres a program that can allow psvr to work, though its a little wonky.

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

vestal pier
#

idk sounds like an easy solution to a complex problem

rough pulsar
#

The instance type I really want is friends only + instance owner approved invite requests

rigid crescent
#

Yeah, more customization for room types would be nice

hybrid heart
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜•

rigid crescent
#

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

rough pulsar
#

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"

rigid crescent
#

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

I dont know how you monetize erp

rigid crescent
#

Maybe if the supply was lower than the demand but it's definitely not

desert stratus
#

e-prostitution? and yeah, it's already very popular in vrc

rigid crescent
#

Paying for dances maybe, but you'd already need VR at that point lol

ruby needle
#

forbidden stuff always gets high interest ๐Ÿ‘€

desert stratus
#

i guess you could also maybe sell it, but nobody's gonna buy that shit

#

sell it as in any recorded media of ERP

rigid crescent
#

I mean it's only "forbidden", it's pretty common though in a lot of circles

ruby needle
#

often done, still forbidden

rigid crescent
#

oh, i guess it is still forbidden technically

desert stratus
#

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

rigid crescent
#

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"

#

vrcTrollThinking 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

brisk bone
#

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. ๐Ÿ˜Š

rigid crescent
#

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.

brisk bone
#

So the map is currently in community labs?

rigid crescent
#

No it left community labs in.....3 or 4 hours

#

back in April if I remember right

brisk bone
#

Well, I don't know I just stopped reporting maps since my reports were unanswered and I was worried I was pissing them off.

rigid crescent
#

Probably means the maps you were reporting weren't reported enough or were found to be a non-issue

brisk bone
#

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.

rigid crescent
#

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 โ€œDoxxingโ€, 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

brisk bone
#

Fair enough.

rigid crescent
#

Pornography & nudity is not allowed.

Goes without saying. nude models in your world, photos, etc

brisk bone
#

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.

rigid crescent
#

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

brisk bone
#

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.

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
