Valve will still deal with it, people were discussing this on Reddit before
AFAIK the warranty is global, it's just initial shipping locations are what are currently restricted
They wouldn't even talk to me when mine broke
Told me to have the person I bought them from contact them
Right, which you would be. I'm not talking about second hand.
I don't understand your point then
Why would the issue you just be raised relevant if you're the person that bought them?
@snow wadi Huh, you sure do have some interesting worlds
Does anyone have issues with the new layout from HTC Vive with STEAMVR? I am in steamVR home with my headset and my FPS VR GPU is in pink colour and my frames is 20 MAX
steamvr home lags for me too, but I disabled it. I like the steamvr void more anyways
Ditto. Home is pretty but I'm all about that game launch speed bois.
Even when i launch in VRCHAT just know same problem FPS VR GPU stay's pink with max 20 FRAMES is this new update from STEAMVR broken?
I didn't even realise you could disable steamvr home
I'm wondering if I can disable the home for Windows mixed reality
mybe your overclocking software broke/bugged out. Mine is stuck at 1000Mhz+ VRam but Idk it that could be a problem
and when I overclock my VRam that high it slows down for some reason
Does WMR load into SteamVR home, or something else?
Note to self: google that shit when I get home
@covert blade Tenkoo o.o/
Something else. It get its own home thing
When you first start it up it boots into the cliffhouse and from there you can go to the steamvr home/void
Ah I remember my WMR cliffhouse
I dont think you can diable the wmr cliffhouse tho Llen
It was filled with pictures of VRChat selfies.
What I liked about it was that you could hang up your desktop like a painting on a wall.
See that's the thing, no third party apps required.
Also the Mos Eisly Cantina SteamVR home is surprisingly well done
I just have a steamvr shortcut and a desktop in my cliffhouse and thats it
(yes, it includes not only the music, but the band too)
I only use it as an entry point to steamvr
hi everyone
Now with Oculus home, I have a computer monitor that shows Discord. xD
Oh wait let me show you what Oculus Home did by default.
Hmm
I've got a ping to a channel I can't see...
hi everyone
I know what's going on. STEAMVR beta seems to be broken again. Did switch to the normal steam VR mode and there is it perfect again.
Oh, thanks. Ah, it's Random Chat, yeah I've muted that room because it was just brain destroyingly dumb. Like watching a pre-school playground, I couldn't keep checking it any more.
BETA steamVRMODE is broken for now.
GREAT another announcement for a mainterance with issues. I wanna see more information why you guy's doing those mainterance's tho. There is no specific information whhy you guy's are doing it.
hi tupper
Never understood the anger at maintenances
Word is, they have a team of highly trained cyclists powering the server who need hydration
I thought they switched to Geothermal Plants?
He needs to do the biannual chkdsk
Tupper, if VRchat does go through a maintenance would we have to log out until its finished?
I would think it's a live maintenance so probably.
it says no, but you will experience bugs
Well darn >_<
Awwo Queen o/
Not sure how my computer will deal with the VRchat bugs but i'll have to wait and see
hi qhala cutie~
I am not angry just wanna know specific information about it. But yeah i understand only not in the right time for me where i am at right now
I mean it is only like 30 mins or so
Enough time to, say, get a bite to eat and come back and it'll be done lol
I already had food xD
hello o-o
how r u?
pretty good hbu?
Being friends is more than just saying it, you simply become friends over time.
So knowing someone on Discord isn't good enough to add them on Discord 🤔
Have fun
im depressed since my gf dumped me.....
The "girlfriend" where both parties apparently hated each other
she dumped me today 😞
k
Consider playing VRChat then
^
It's free and doesn't require VR
i dont have VRChat
Download it :3
It's free
i hav cromebook
Well rip
Will vrchat ever just make it only vr and just not allowed any pc players in ?
Nope
Probably not
You'd lose a large portion of the player base and also kill off a large portion of people who might potentially get VR due to VRChat
A majority of vrchat are on desktop and that ^
It's free advertisement for VR really. And full body tracking. And desktop is good to quickly test stuff.
Last time we got a number of VR v desktop was something like 20% VR and 80% desktop
Yeah not surprised

Have hands, have legs
Ahh lucky
4 hour battery life
I have Kinect but I rather have actual trackers
🤔
I have a kinect and wmr, but when I do get a vive with 3 trackers eventually i'll sell the wmr and the kinect
fullbody sucks when you realize most models aren't even proportionate to the human body
One message removed from a suspended account.
That's because most models are MMD's, leahhh.
yes i know
wellim getting it
And that's why you look for models that do work well with it.
and it fucking sucks trying to proportion them in blender
@brave arch honestly it took so much tinkering for it to work, half the time I don’t even know how I got it to work lol
I see the sde every now and then on wmr and It doesnt really bother me. I just try to ignore them
so I dont think its gonna be a big problem with a vive
I just use public avatars, works fine for me
One message removed from a suspended account.
my model is proportionate, but im currently trying to proportion a Kemono model
I’m probably about to just do the hybrid build for oculus, I don’t want vive lol
There's also a surprisingly large number of avatars that were never really meant for FBT but do work pretty well with it
@brave arch only time I’ve had that problem was when I didn’t have proper lighting in my room o.o
One message removed from a suspended account.
what kinect do you have? The kinect V2 (xbox one) can track the skeleton in darkness
One message removed from a suspended account.
Does the kinect method work with wmr?
yes
Make sure your room is bright and there’s nothing blocking it
I used to have a chair mess up my skeleton
Same
hehe I can flex with my kinect V2
xD
How much is an Xbone Kinect nowadays anyway?
idk. I bought a modified one from ebay for 40€
Actually scratch that question. Does anyone have a webpage with like a "how to Kinect FBT for dummies"?
Uh just google that
anyone wanna add me on VRChat?
You download kinect2vr run it and calibrate it. thats it
sup guys
One message removed from a suspended account.
Hi Richard
hi
Cya unknown!
or if you want to spend money you download driver4vr and calbirate it with the user friendly(er) calibration
Okay. I wasn't sure if there were shenanigans to do, like modding it with whatever. Yours is modded you said, so what does it do differently?
doesnt need the power adapter
darn.. i hav chrome OS
thats what the mod does
Alright ima go play murder nice talking to u guys o/
bye
GoodLuck!
Kinect doesn't need a brightly lit room does it? I thought it used IR strobes so less light is probably actually better?
@vocal shard Wanna join my loli army? You get free headpats, and you can be quiet, or talk.. either way is cool. 🙂 I just need more cute things in my life. lol
i can
Yes. 1st cute thing, acquired, add me pal. 🙂 I'm the same username everywhere.
ok
Anyone else wanna join my loli brigade?
(I just want cute things to spoil, and head pat.)
lol 🙂
how do we got about reporting a world with stolen avatars? i found a world and at least 2 of the avatars there where ones my friends made or brought the rights too but in the report world button there is no report for stolen avatars part
@viscid gulch http://help.vrchat.com/new
lol not enough light reflected? Interesting.
... Pf..
Ugh. That's fun. I thought with perfect lights, it'd be pretty good.
I've heard some people have good luck with it.
It works by projecting dots on you and tracking their movement with the ir cameras. Maybe black absorbs too much colour?
lol nice.
"These are my VR'ing pants"
So... you're saying the best trousers would be ones made out of projector screen material? Or literally a silver nitrate morphsuit?
But that's normally black
How do I google, how to be more appealing to lolis who want headpats.. without the fbi showing up.
😛 lol
incognito tab in chrome
or with a vpn that redirects your search to some poor guy somewhere in the world who has no clue whats going on xD
What's your gpa's name again? 😛
ikr
As usual with Unity updates, previous content will break unless it is reuploaded
In the meantime, enjoy how hilarious certain worlds and avatars look
I had one avatar that was perfectly fine except for the face, that was pink
I had one avatar that was just completely black, another one where nothing changed what so ever
I hope content creators can be bothered to update their stuff. Kind of worried about certain worlds and avatars not getting any update and just being broken for the rest of VRChats life time
I didn't test the performance at all
And in a solo home world in desktop mode the performance is always 90 FPS
So I uploaded my avatar with the old unity. Do I absolutely need to re-upload it now for it to work or can I put it off for now?
That is to say, does vrchat only work now with the new unity version
cant wait until I see how smol my avatar will look when she's done eeeee
she's supposed to be a runt sized Sonic character... like she's close to the same size as a child Sonic character (Cream the Rabbit who's 2.3ft... my character is supposed to be 2.2ft) who's supposed to be about half her age (Cream is 6, my character is 13)
VRchat just temporarily disabled private avatars and favorites
welp i didnt expect the maintenance to do that
How’d it go? @brave arch
@lofty cipher did say problems would occur, so 🤷
Im gonna wait till much later
Maintenance took them out for the moment
fuuuuccck
yeah might want to take a break for now
my friend list broke and now i cant join my friend D:
its in maintenance rn


can someone help me with something in #avatar-rigging please?
it's about my avatar's pelvis and thigh and not sure what Im supposed to do...
it's just this one thing I apparently need to knock off as I have a gutsy feeling it'll do something a little bad
I have panic, will they be able to bring back all the worlds and avatars that we all have as favourites?
or do we need to add everything again
I would wait for maintenance to finish
Is maintenance finish?
Negative
Ah okay that sucks
@faint skiff Halloween avatar (mostly) complete!
I just spent the last 40 minutes looking for an avatar
Finally found it and then i got booted lol
My legs clip through the skirt of my coat but I don't have FBT anyway so who cares. As long as I don't crouch it's all good
you have 2 options.
- Weighpaint in blender
- use colliders (or plus colliders)
@slow halo That reminds me, I need to tweak a few more things on my bag of aids avatar
@broken plover I was gonna just parent the two front skirt bones to my legs and leave it at that
I guess that could also work
is maintenance still happening or no
I would assume that we would get a notification about it when they're done
So not sure, maybe, probably not, dunno

(Psst VRChat staff, this is a bit longer than a half hour)
Enjoy life
hello
I will not say hello because you are offline
ok lol
🤔
I did enjoy life. I had a delicious tofu stirfry with my fiancee, and played with my cat a bunch, and put the finishing touches on my halloween avatar
but now I wanna collect headpats
@ VRChat team, y'all ever gonna remove the early access badge from the side of the menu? Shit's been there since 2015
👌
DayZ had 5 years and is still unfinished. Your point?
@ÂPumkin the games that don't leave it are usually abandonware
Removing the badge wouldn't really accomplish anything.
It's a meme with how old this game has been in early access
It's kind of valid as a fair warning, given the plenty unstable nature of the ongoing development.
I mean leaving it early access is probably for the best for now
Dirty bomb has been in ea for years too
Then it came out but nothing changed and they abandoned it
Wow I haven't thought about Dirty Bomb in ages...
For the best how?
It would change absolutely nothing, whilst building false expectations of a final product in the community.
It was fun until it was Mishandled
I think it still pulls 500 peak players with a few servers that still live
VR-Chat is ten years from being a finished product, solely via the nature of VR itself.
if it still lives in 10 years
But yeah coming out of EA means nothing on its own
In 10years I’ll be playing fortnite season 85
And they might have a set of features planned before it’s considered a finished game
It's probably fair to say that the phrase "Early Access" itself is a little flawed, just in regard to the "early" part and how it implies there's some kind of special limited access going on.
But there's no benefit in declaring otherwise.
so, i have a problem, before, long ago, it didnt happen, but now it does... when i turn on any mirrors, even alone in a world, like the box, my gpu goes up to 100%, and my fps go to 11... any ideas? i use gtx 1060 3gb
Does it happen with all avatars
having for a while now, cant play much cause of this, as vrc is all about mirrors
yap
What have u tried so far? To fix it?
I honestly have no clue tbh, I would send the vrc team an email about it
reinstalling, changed to rift S, turn graphics to desktoplow, trying to change the graphics card options too
Does it happen in desktop and vr?
Hi
Ur gpu drivers up to date?
yap
Yeah.... I don’t have a clue than tbh
this is so annoying, its the only reason preventing me to play
I use to play vrc on a gtx 760 4gb
And it was pretty good
But later on in the future my experience just got worse and worse
To the point I had to upgrade
It’s maybe because your gtx only has 3gb?
Lower super sampling on SteamVR/Oculus Tray Tool
Any tips on where to get a HTC vive? or an Oculus??
Oculus is a company, not a product
zisodjOAD
I don't know much about it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
so you can't really blame me for my stupidity
kill
@vocal shard htc vive if you are planning with fullbody tracking, but oculus is a good start
The Vive and original rift are discontinued, so you may need to look used if you want one. Most of the remaining stock on online sites are selling out.
What's available now are the
Rift S $400
Vive Cosmos $700
Index $1000
You can get them online, or at some stores like best buy or Microsoft
What about Vive Pro?
Vive pro still isn't worth it imo. Not unless they drop the price...
But the cosmos sure is with it's modularity
And the knock off Oculus Touch Controllers
Holy fucking shit how expensive is this?!
I really don't think the Cosmos is worth it. And the reviews are bad
Yeah
Probs just better to jump straight to Index
Yep, it's better for less
Also you actually have good controllers and not those oversized TV remotes
The Vive pro is basically a Vive with 2.0 sensors, and panels from a Samsung Odyssey.

But priced too high
As with a lot of things from HTC
At least in Europe, the standard Vive is still being sold
So you could technically still get a new one, if ya wanted
i mean, oculus is an okay start, but i want to go with htc vive since i prefer full body tracking instead
At least on the European store they're still selling it for 599€
Alternatively you can either buy a used one or jump straight to Index. Index light houses work with the HTC trackers as well.
The neat benefit of Valve being involved with HTC's VR headsets
Hmm, I mean I wasn't planning on spending a lot of money though. Since I'm canadian, and don't have a good.. "allowance" then it could mean I have to find something cheaper.
Oh
I mean, if you are going for VR and going for full body tracking with HTC's trackers, you are going to spend a lot of money
True.
Unless you find everything used for much cheaper and have a DYI solution to replace Trackstraps
I've found a good selection of used HTC's, but they sound to good to be true.
Again, HTC is a company, not a product
Also keep in mind that if you are buying a used Vive, check if they are also selling the base stations
People upgrading to Index usually sell their Vive but keep the base stations
Alrighty, thank's for the help.
also, I'm new at this so I don't know anything about what htc is so your going to have to bear with me.
It's important because both HTC and Oculus have multiple VR headsets
For example, HTC has the original Vive, aka just Vive, Vive Pro and soon to be released Cosmos.
Oculus has the Rift, Rift S and Quest
Good to know.
I think before the Rift there were also the, I'm just gonna call it "Prototype" versions, CV's, whatever I forgot what it was called
Someone with more brain than me please tell me the name of what I'm thinking of
Generally you've got 3 options. Odyssey+ ($300), Rift S ($400), and Index ($1000).
That could change if HTC decides to price drop the pro, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that
As I've said, the original Vive can still be purchased. And while a bit dated and not being produced anymore, with 599€ it is a good headset if you plan on getting FBT and you are still able to upgrade to an Index later on while keeping the base stations you already have
Unless ya want a hybrid setup or don't care about FBT
Honestly though, why hasn't Oculus thought about their own full body tracking solution yet?
Full body is a hell a lot of fun.
Like, honestly, look at how much HTC is charging for these things. Some competition please
I seriously don't think their full body would be that good if the managed to even get that one sensor thing going.
Or is it too much of a niche to be worth competing with?
Need at least two.
Well vr is growing slow and fbt is just a smaller rate of that growth.
If it was to work, it would have to do more than just fbt for a larger market appeal
Yeah but right now I'm pretty sure HTC is profiting really well from their overpriced trackers.
$300 ain't cheap but I could sell my PS4 I don't use anymore because I'm into vr too much for time use it.
$300 for what specifically?
Just 3 trackers.
I don't know the conversion.
They're almost as expensive as Index controllers
Index controllers were $279 for me.
I'm guessing the 119 is for one tracker then.
It is
The conversion puts trackers (bought in America) at €91
Now if we could ignore shipping costs and customs clearance it would almost be worth buying it overseas.
A full kit is $650 for v1 stations, straps, and trackers
Eating a pizza that just burned my mouth. Give me a break :/
I made my own attachments.
Like putting it on shoes?
The straps do work reasonably well, however there's still always a possibility that they might come off your feet
Idk I'm still happy with my $400 body tracking, even if it's not as seamless as running a full HTC setup
I mean, I already have my straps which I paid way too much for due to shipping and customs clearance but I guess I will consider putting them on shoes if those ever fail
Probs not as comfy as just having them on your socks, but a lot more stable
Depends what fbt you want too. There are cheaper ways that don't work as well but still do the trick.
I don't need to dance so straps do just fine
Although I'm not sure who you spoke to
Dancing is hard
I'm honestly amazed at how people manage to dance, then again they're probably not using straps so they don't really have the issue of their trackers moving out of place
I don't move fast so it works for me
I'm amazed at how people dance at all. Fbt or not
Have ya ever seen people do handstands in VR with FBT?
Hand stands. Like how? Must be some crazy set ups.
Apparently it isn't any more difficult than regular hand stands
Nope. I've seen a few pretend to using an animation, but never anyone legit.
I could use a wall and cheat but the controllers are in my hands.
A tutorial on how 2 handstand
And I have seen people do that in public worlds. At least I'm pretty sure they were doing it because it didn't look like an animation and they could move their legs.
That's crazy.
Yup
And amazing.
Indeed
I'm already worried every time I throw anything in VR
Due to small play space. These madlads do handstands. In VR.
My feet would push through the ceiling if I tried that
I have enough space ahead of me, but not anywhere to the sides.
Damn you tall.
I can't even raise my hands to people headpatting me
lol
I wish I was
And yet all my avatars are smol
Though I have managed to poke some dents I'm the ceiling tiles.
Also in the basement
I haven't caused any damage, but I've been rained on by tile dust many times
I blame the Vive controllers because they are so big and ever since I stopped using them, no more dents.
Probs gonna be while before I'll buy Index controllers
I've always thought they looked pretty unwieldy
They are
It's relatively okay in VRChat, but play Onward or H3VR and try to throw a grenade
Not gonna be so easy to pull the pin when the controllers are so huge
I kept mine as a back up. Not much for resale value. Lol.
Unfortunately the TV remotesâ„¢ are the only controllers I have at the moment
Top 10 ugliest controllers list.
Really the only benefit is that I can switch between gestures really fast and have minimal risk of accidentally using gestures when I don't intend to.
I didn't even know that could work.
With the advanced controls it works
Wait, what tv remotes?
Vive controllers
Oh, never knew there was something other than wands
They quite literally have the size of a TV remote and feel like that when playing with it
That's why I want to upgrade to Index controllers Soonâ„¢
Oh now I get it.
The wmr motion controllers are okay, but the Samsung ones have QA issues. Nimh batteries make then glitchy too from the lower voltage. The Acer replacement at least recognizes the nimh and shows the battery correctly draining fast af
hey whats up
I'm way too cheap for non rechargable batteries though
Has anyone used the Npc spawner before?
no
NPC spawner?
Yeah, its a component thats never mentioned in the Vrchat offical documents but its their anyways in the files and is usable in game.
IT has been used as well but no one ever shows nor mentions on how it works.
A script?
If so, pastebin it. I'm away from my computer to check the SDK files myself
ok
well except for the constant crashes, my first long(ish) session of VRChat in proper VR was fantastic
I'm in love
Any error message with those crashes?
Honestly ever since the update that fixed crashes on world loading, I barely had any crashes whatsoever
I did manage to have SteamVR crash at one point.... that was weird.
there are... But I can't remember where the folder is
Yep Mozilla hubs might beat vrchat
It's another social game
And guess what
It has no Limits
No limits regarding what?
that sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen
Anything else in mind? It's still too early for them as far as I can observe of.
Hmm no. They can Show Avatar a very poor one and it'll show up
^
The problem is that the majority of people can't even be bothered to export to the Quest
Also, don't forget about Lavender
Well this game is ran off a browser
As far as I've been told, it's basically supposed to be VRChat but better
Well yes
A browser?
It can run very well on quest
wow these logs are robust
@lunar cedar anything I should be looking for in these logs?
Yeah you can see any avatar on Mozilla hubs
Anything around the time of the crash. Windows logs->application will also give you the crash event if you forgot the exact time
You know though, I know what's going on really. My CPU is old, my ram is old, and the WMR software is janky
How much ram do you have?
4670k here
But I've got an RTX 2070! So... yay for being unbalanced I guess
Ohdear
The wmr software hasn't been janky for me. You're on windows 1903, right? I never used it previous to that version and I've heard it used to be worse.
I am, yeah
And yeah it was worse before, it's better now. Enverex was suggesting it's my ram since he had a similar issue even with his much better setup
Suggested 32gb has made a world of difference for him. It's only 100 bucks for 16gb more of what I've got, so maybe I'll just do that. Can't hurt right?
Just check in the windows application logs in event viewer. Tell me what the faulting module was.
Faulting application name: vrdashboard.exe, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x5d730304
Faulting module name: vrdashboard.exe, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x5d730304
Exception code: 0xc0000409
Fault offset: 0x0020d80d
Faulting process id: 0x3c0c
Faulting application start time: 0x01d57b1edd4e604b
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\bin\win32\vrdashboard.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\bin\win32\vrdashboard.exe
There's a few actually...
That should also have crashed with vrserver, what does that one say?
Several program will crash together when steamvr goes down. Look for vrchat and vrserver
Faulting application name: dwm.exe, version: 10.0.18362.329, time stamp: 0xd71652ca
Faulting application name: VRChat.exe, version: 2017.4.28.41207, time stamp: 0x5ceebdc4
... Can't find a vrserver
Huh, dm me the full DWM crash
getting diagnosed!
with what
my PC crashes a bunch when running VRchat in vr
trying to figure out why
I figure it's 'cause my shit is old n' busted
open up task manager and check what's being used up
if it's your memory then it's likely a ram issue, if it's your disk, hardrive issue, etc
that's what was happening to me too for a while, ended up figuring out it was just due to not having enough memory
anybody else suddenly dropped to super slow world download rates?
Llen went to bed, but only 1 of the 4 crashes is known to be linked to high CPU usage. Maybe the others were too though
what does it mean when they said rift s uses single screen?
headsets with a manual ipd adjustment have 1 screen for each lens. But having a single screen is basically like looking at a pc monitor but theres lenses infront of it to make it 3d
the only difference is the ipd adjustment. a single screen cant cover as much ipd as 2 seperate screens can
oh okay
Ends up being uncomfortable/unusable for about 20% of people. At least that's what the former oculus engineer said about it. Maybe they widened the range a bit after that complaint, but I never checked.
The Rift S' lenses are spaced at about 64.5mm, and support user IPD in the range of 61mm - 65.5mm
It's likely to be closer to 30% who cannot comfortably use the Rift S according to some data I've seen.
lol I cant use the rift s then xD Glad I bought a wmr then
Which one did you get? They have the same problem but likely a different IPD range
except the samsung ones, they have physical IPD adjustments
I played BeatSaber this morning. Every expert+ song I had with fastre song modifier. If im gonna play VRchat later im only gonna chill in there
finally posted a screenshot of my smol avatar on #avatars-2-general :3
sorry I couldnt do it before it was late for me when I finished rigging her up
reinstalling WMR~
Im being buried by cushions ingame o-o
nvm they stole parts of my cushion fort uwu
oh wait they buried me again XD
there's just a constant debate on whether they bury me alive with cushions or not... XD
Hiya
One thing a lot of people don’t consider about the Rift S is the sweet spot is much much larger than Vive or most WMR headsets. So if your out of range on the IPD your most likely still in the sweet spot and the image looks fine. With Vive headsets you basically have to be dead on.
Join me at hangout cinema! Take a seat when in Hangout cinema
It is a world You will see it at the top
At searching Hangout cinema
Or search cin then it is the top one
feck yall
no u
Weird, my profile image isn't loading. Is it loading for anyone else? https://d348imysud55la.cloudfront.net/thumbnails/4246632241.thumbnail-500.png
just to let you know, when I use the open beta, the mirror isn't toggled for me when I walk infront of it, and in some worlds buttons are black
yep, completely black.
Did you read the announcement about the open beta? Check the canny, if its not reported yet document it there and else wait and hope they will solve it without people needing to reupload content
@umbral reef I'm not on or uploading to the open beta atm so it shouldn't be related.
Loads for me if that’s still relevant
My comment was towards Yaekith not you :x
Aaaaaaaaaaaah.
But yeah, expect almost all worlds to be broken in the open beta, it's been repeated like 500 times at this point, lol.
Alright I got more ram!
RAM: Successfully downloaded
let's see if that helps my crashing issue at all
i hope your joking about the downloading

Hi
?
verdict: more stable, no crashes this session
bummed around in the pug, it got a touch choppy now and then when avatars were loading in, but still no crashes. I'm pretty happy
oh in case people still think so, no I didn't download my ram. I bought it
I'm not that dumb
Yeah, it made a massive difference for me. Basically with 16GB, the game would creep up to 12GB then shit itself, basically.
How long would you have to play for it to get that bad?
what are some of the best maps for talking in general?
Any with players
it seems there are so many trolls on most of the active ones
That's because no one takes public worlds seriously
i'm lucky to play 10 minutes before i crash
It's always going to be a wild mess of random things happening unless you join F+ or beyond
@covert blade An hour or two in some worlds. About 30 minutes in the Pug lol
o_o
@vocal shard Room with rain if the room isn't too busy, The Pug, The Black Cat, etc
Just look around for approachable groups and hop instances if you don't find any
Black Cat to meet 'dem Quest users
sounds good
Yeah, avoid the BC if you're not using a Quest avatar
I'm assuming I'm not since I don't even know what that means
You know the blue "PC" circle when you select an avatar?
I think so
In the upper right I think?
The Oculus Quest is a standalone VR headset running a different operating system. Only supported avatars will be visible to them.
If the avatar or world supports Quest, the green "Quest" circle will be lit up as well
Otherwise it'll just stay gray
ah, so I definately don't use one
If you use a PC only avatar, Quest users can only see the placeholder model
Personally I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you have friends playing on Quest
The selection of quest compatible avatars is really bad and on PC you cannot filter specifically for Quest worlds so finding avatar worlds with avatars for the Quest can be a bit meh
Also I realized that the Quest supported B1 battle droid I've been using has more than 10k polys and is therefore
on Quest :(
Yeah. I was running my performance monitor just to see which was the culprit, CPU or RAM, and one of the crashes was caused by the Pug taking a full 8GB of memory to itself
so I maxed my ram, maxed my virtual ram, and my computer nope'd out of there
It does seem like the avatar creator did cut down on the polys because I found another, identical looking model (probs ripped from the same game) but with more polys. Still, that's some maxi disappointment right there
I'm sure I'll still get CPU related crashes, according to Jak the dwm process is a horribly-optimized beast and is prone to just using as much CPU as it possibly can, but at least one of the problems is dealt with
Good thing I have 16 gigs
Although oddly enough I have had so few direct game crashes that I never bothered checking the RAM
SteamVR crashed at one point
That was interesting because the game was still running and working in the background, I just couldn't see it
the same thing happened to me too yesterday (twice)
I'm gonna keep an eye on my RAM usage next time I'm on. I'm curious now
i hate crashing cause it shuts down oculus, steam, obs if it is running.. yeah not a fan
yep
That can cost performance as far as I know because then you have Oculus' software and SteamVR running in the background
i know.. steamvr just needs to go away
never used a vive before. does it not have the stuff like oculus?
the vive runs natively through steamvr
rip
but if you have a rift, then why dont you play vrchat from the oculus store?
does the same thing
Vive and Index run natively on SteamVR
@vocal shard @covert blade These icons - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/629302253768933376/630074125435797524/unknown.png
Especially not surprising for the Index, as it is a Valve made product.
Of course it is going to run on software made by Valve.
ah
ten minutes of gameplay then UnityPlayer.dll goes nanners
sent my files in 21 hours ago.. fingers crossed
But really the question would be, if you have a Rift, why don't you use Oculus' own software?
VRChat is on the Oculus store
doesn't matter what i use. the results are the same
start the game, join a room, crash
That'll never be resolved btw, you need to work on the issue from your side. e.g. update Windows, clear game cache, etc.
done all that. gotta hang out in dead rooms i guess XD
How much RAM do you have and what other specs?
(also are your GPU drivers up to date? etc etc)
16gb, 980 ti, i76700k and yep
I had constant crashes on 16GB, so just something to keep in mind. Do you have anything else running in the background?
discord, steam and the oculus app
i can't figure out how ten people can stand by the mirror in the pug but someone comes near me and my game nopes out 0.o
Hmm, faulty RAM or overclocked GPU freaking out?
nah i dont overclock. tried that when i built my pc and got a bsod and never tried again
Hi
Hi
Hello
anybody else having issues with avatars rn
naw
anyone know where i can find avatars that play music?
It's also not hard to play music ingame via the mic
yea but thats toxic
And music playing avatars aren't?
there not that bad
... it makes no difference
better then it screaming threw your mic
instead of it playing music, put jumpscare sound effects on it and make a gesture for your avatar to turn invisible and spook people instead. Much more fun
I think someone playing music through their mic at a comfortable level is better than an avatar playing music also at a comfortable or louder level, due to the fact that some avatars playing music will be just as loud no matter how far away you are from the player, as opposed to someone playing through a mic who will get quieter as you get farther away from them.
hello
im planing on setting up Full body with a Xbox One kinect is there anything I should keep in mind
It will be buggy and a bit glitchy, and maybe annoying to set up.
I have a Rift S, no base stations, and a extra Xbox One kinect im not using
Basically just try to be patient.
might not end up being that great overall, but if you already have the Kinect worth a try
I've heard there's a way to use cheap LEDs to improve tracking with those setups
There is a channel for #full-body-tracking btw
I have a kinect too. Its not the best, but its good for what it is. Cheapest FBT you can get
I used a kinect since I already had one, and a friend actually gave me a pc adapter so it was basically a free setup. I used it along with WMR for a long time and can say that besides the buggy mess it could be, it was fun and I'm glad I did it.
oh i dint notice #full-body-tracking this server has to many channels
However, since upgrading to a Vive and actual trackers, I enjoy them so so much more and it's such a better option for dancing to me.
im not planing on upgrading for a while so spending 25 bucks on a adapter and 2 hours or so on setup is kinda woth it for me
That's exactly what my mindset was as well. I think you should go for it and see how it works out.
What headset do you have Zboss?
ah yeah
If you had a headset with the SteamVR base stations I say it's a harder sell to do full body with the Kinect
when you have to add them into the cost of getting full body spending a bit on a Kinect is a lot easier to swallow
if I had bace stations id just get the Vive Pucks
yeah
step one get my dad to purchase a Kinect to PC adapter
is there any important specs you need?
You can also make your own adapter. It's much cheaper. You need a USB A-B cable, and a power cord that you solder to two pins
well I dont have any experience with that kind oof stuff
Is vrchat much better with vr headset?
Yeah it's very different in VR
Oo decisions decisions..
suggestions on vr headsets with a decent price range?
Rift S
I want the rift s
400 USD
Mmhm
Depends what you mean by "decent price range". The Index is definitely worth it.
doesnt require much proccesing power
mixed reality headet I heard was also ok
also DONT GET THE QUEST
Best to save for rift s
^
Quest is 🤮 imo
also the cozmo is a wast of funding
Rift S is good all around and a good price
why are they even making the Cozmo
And the quest is actually really good, and has PC support coming soon with a cable you can plug into your computer. but the rift S is still better as a PC headset overall
cosmo is just a downgraded rift S in mmy opinion
It's higher res screen, how is it downgraded?
Downgraded? How so?
On paper is should be way better.... But reviews are not so good
More cameras, higher res, larger fov, the ability to use it wireless or with steamvr tracking (through add-ons)
I hear the software support ain't there.
Yeah cosmos software apparently is bad and tracking is almost unusable right now
Light-based tracking is bad.
Bear in mind the Rift S had tracking problems on release.
Along with display problems and audio issues.
True
i here the screendoor is worse, cant really read text, and (without bace stations) there is longer refresh time when contriolers loose tracking
true @rough pulsar
That doesn't make sense. The screen is 1440x1700 vs the rift S 1200x1440. The screen should be better on the Cosmos. But I hear the lenses aren't that great
and yes you can read text in Rist S better then any other headset
i heari have only tryed 2 headsets
That is false. There are other headsets clearer than rift s
Text clarity might be a result of the FOV, PPD and subpixel array type
whats headsets are better?
Rift S is is very clear and good value for the money. But not the best
As of right now the index would be the best
Well the Index for a start. The Odyssey+ should also have better clarity wouldn't it?
yeah we got to remember how much bang for your buck the rift S is
The index has better text clarity than the Vive Pro but both have same res screens, but the Pro has pentile subpixel arrays while the index is RGB stripe.
Index is sharper, HP Reverb is much clearer than those. And then there are others still in develpment that are near perfect clarity and sharpness
i know
@faint skiff no the Odyssey+ isn't sharper. It's very beautiful, but it's soft
Rift S is fairly good value if your IPD is within the supported range.
The Valve Index is overall the best HMD on the market. (key word being overall)
So I can't find any info about this but
my IPD is fine wth the rift s
is the Index lighter weight than the Vive? It looks like it, but I'm not sure.
how light is the Rift S compared to other headsets
(besides the oculas go and quest)
Which vive, and which generation? HTC did a few silent revisions to the Vive reducing the weight in some of them.
But overall the Index is lighter than most (or possibly all) Vives.
I’m gonna upgrade to the index eventually
And speaking of the Index, I'm gonna go slap mine on my face.
I'll need a bigger room if I'm gonna upgrade to anything requiring lighthouses.
i feel like as soon as I save up for the index thell be a better headset
so im doing a bit of waiting
The original Vive (which I have) was 555g, they then rereleased it later at 470g. The index is apparently 809g but ironically feels lighter due to how it fits onto your head.
There's always a better headset in develpment
It’s just like gpus and cellphones (anything really)
As soon as it comes out.... it’s already outdated
Just be happy and enjoy whatever you have or can afford. Dwelling on what you could have will bring you down
Yeah, basically it just comes down to what you can afford (unless you want FBT at some point)
everybody does mistakes. And its ok to do so. But some mistakes are bigger than others. For example buying the wrong headset just because someone said something about it
Throwing in support for my odyssey +. All the issues I've been having have been solely because of the janky wmr software
I cant wait till I can get full body set up
I have some really wierd issues with wmr. When I have it plugged in, while I boot my pc. Its stuck in the mainboard companys logo screen. Or when I shut it down once I have to log off of windows and log in again
I was considering Kinect 2 but Enverex smacked me and said no
@broken plover I was having that issue as well. Are you on windows 1903?
?
I mean, getting on 1903 is what fixed it for me
have you had both issues or only one of them?
Kinect is fine if you can get it for <$30 just as a play thing. It's not worth actually investing cash into it, it's too limiting.
Also uninstalling and reinstalling wmr after getting 1903.
I bought a kinect just for FBT but when I get vive trackers I can still use it as a webcam because I dont have one
@slow halo See if you can get a 360 kinect somewhere for next to nothing because those are normally basically free at this point and pick up a $5 power adapter.
I actually haven't had my headset plugged in when starting up except once when it said it couldn't detect the set. Bad to unplug/replug it
I find that wmr relies heavily on windows being up to date. Even one update behind and it seems to break
@faint skiff haha, yeah.
I'm always updated and it works normally for me
@slow halo I'll use the Kinect next time you're on so you can see what it's like
I've only seen one crash in wmr and that's when my CPU is being maxed out by an unrelated bug
i have windows up to date but I still have these issues. Or maybe Im 1 update behind? Everytime I download it it takes forever and slows down my already slow internet
might leave it on through the night to download all those updates
Winversion in search
Yeah, sorry Nico. I keep meaning to try to see what happens when booting when it's plugged in, but by coincidence I haven't had the opportunity
18362.357 is the current build
I think WMR headsets are seen as a display so your PC may try and boot with it as your primary display adapter.
I've got 18362.388
Oh maybe the site isn't updated, I don't have 1903 to check
luckily I have it plugged into a usb hub with a switch for each port so I can just disable it
nice
I was going to pick up a usb C adapter
@faint skiff you don't have to do that. I saw triping and his set up
Okay, I just rebooted with the headset plugged in and it takes a hot minute for my screens to work. I think the computer tries to send it to my headset first or something. No idea
Oh found it, yep 388 is the current build. Yea, the GPU will just see it as a screen before the USB device that actually controls the device initializes.
Ah, it worked though!
Didn't have to unplug and replug.
I wonder if using the USB c adapter would alleviate that
The controller behind the type-c might be a better one than the other ports (if it is a different one, but most are)
@slow halo I think Triping got lucky though, his seems to work far better than I've ever seen Kinect work before.
He does seem pretty proud of it
Its pretty specific in what it needs, within* two meters from the floor and atleast two meters from the player and it works fine. Cant lay down or go anything past a right angle looking at it hips wise. Sitting and standing work. But hey $30 for feet.
It looks OK from other people's perspective, but it feels inaccurate, laggy and floaty to yourself.
I could squat like a russian once, but out of nowhere it kept glitching my hip around so I couldnt do that anymore :/
Watermarking images should be illegal
Aka. I'm looking for textures for my world on Google
Edit the water marks out
theres a photoshop tool that lets you do exactly that
if you dont have photoshop I can do it for you
boi
That's difficult
And thanks for the offer, but I probably downloaded 50 different textures so far, so it wouldn't be worth it
rule 15. No posting the same question or statement across multiple channels
Why would you admit to that...
to get attention
Right
People love it. Until it starts to disrupt their daily lives.
So you admit to doing a cybercrime?
That's punishable, you know.
How else can a script kiddy flex on us normies?
If you hack/destroy someones files/hardware it doesnt matter if that person was a bad guy or someone innocent. You still hacked/destroyed files/hardware
So you hurt an innocent and now you're bragging about it? I don't get it. Are you pychopathic?
Please see a psychiatrist ASAP
You don’t need a psychiatrist for being edgy on the internet
Idk, some probably do
It goes away on it’s own when you learn to have control over literally anything in your life 
Indeed he did, but it's safe to assume he's probably just a script kiddy that didn't manage to do any of that
lmfao dude said the same thing in a different discord
Someday, I think that Karma will have a way with him. Times like these, stuff like those get treated seriously.
I mean, the guy was being very vague. There isn’t much to go off on
Vague enough that it seemed like bait
He probably ran a few scripts that claimed to do what he said, but instead got ratted himself.
Why would anyone go on the Internet and just lie about things
Nobody would do that
At least that's what I like to think happened.
All software breaks for me, people seemingly can't code worth shit anymore. Unity flickers between the login and welcome screen a few times per second, I can't paste in my credentials fast enough to press login because it clears it
I logged into the website, but I can only download assets from within Unity
Did you overwrite an old SDK?
Did you jam your f5 key?
No to both, it's Unity doing it, even without an SDK
It's because my computer thinks that it isn't connected to the internet. It tells Unity that I don't have a connection, but I'm online right now...
It's shitty software all the way down
I've had glitches with the hub not keeping licenses before, but the editor has always been okay for me. Sounds like a strange bug
I'm the king midas of strange bugs (everything I touch breaks)
Your fondness for Microsoft materialises into bugs
Do we have any mods around here?
Could someone please clean up #vrchat-fan-art?
Thanks.
hey why i can't add my new avatar to vrchat?
Is uploading enabled on your account?
(needs to be a registered account, not your steam account, have a certain amount of hours and social interactions and then you get an email saying you can now upload, it should also say when logged into the sdk in unity)
Did vrchat get rid of the kick/warn system?
no its still there
update from 862 to 864, anyone else having an issue with hands and other parts of your own and other's avatars as well as the quickmenu disappearing when getting closer than around 40cm to your own viewpoint? here's an example of what i mean: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615293765237604363/630223275493949462/unknown.png and https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615293765237604363/630223319022436413/unknown.png
the distance with which the parts become invisible gets less with larger avatars but i have no interest in having to run around with a tall (3m+) avatar just to be able to properly give other cute nekos their headpats they deserve, especially as that will just scare them away anyway
@vocal shard the distance at which things disappear (the near culling plane) is set by the world's reference camera. If a world does not set this camera, the previous world's setting is preserved. This means that if you visit a world with a distant culling plane you will see that behavior until you visit a world with a closer culling plane configured.
https://www.vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_100a0fb3-1e66-4cd8-b0cb-47353f10de88 if you're in need of a world with a close culling plane, you can try mine 🙂
Thanks @torn nebula, visiting a new world and then switching back fixed it
yep, not just any world will work, worlds without a reference camera will still preserve the prior setting.
Any idea if there's a canny for that?
Is anyone having an issue with the favorites menu glitching out? (When you unfavorite something, it refuses to go away and will end up being re-favorited again.)
there are side effects to changing the near clip plane - in particular, the closer the near clip plane is, the worse Z-fighting is for objects with similar distances
anyone in here who has ever used the Xbox One kinect for pc have issues with it connecting and disconnecting constantly?
I did at the start
Make sure you don’t have the mic disabled for the Kinect @gilded valley
Keep it on
how though
Windows settings
if its just giga cycling with disconnect and reconnect
Sounds options
Hmmm
If that doesn’t work then idk, try searching something up on google
Oh make sure you have the driver installed for it
like if i check, i don't see the kinect in the recording devices ;-;
i got it to work
i disconnected fucking everything usb related and made sure i did blue port and it works now -_- after trying hella ports, im damn sure i put it in this port but w.e im not complaining
playing music from google chrome into vrchat is so hard
my brain is about to explode
Just play it from your phone and put it up to your mic lmao
e z way to get the fun little
rank
Favorites avatar list is broken for me
I have a quick Q, if I set a public world to private and then later set it to public again, does it have to go through community labs again?
not sure when I will start learning how to make my characters do animated tricks/poses...
suppose when I figure out what her behaviours are like I guess
but I do have two things in mind for a start... one of them which my friend will be teaching me on DM
flight (as she has wings and Im sure she can fly with them) and I guess to suit her cuteness maybe she raises her arms forward as if she's offering a hug or something?
WHAT I can't do all caps
Anyway vrchat upgrading to 2018??
Yep ^^
I'm looking forward to FRAMES

proper multithreading here we come bois

Everyone I heard talking about it only mentioned hacked clients being harder to make because it'll be c++ instead of c#
Everyone forgot about the whole FRAMES thing
Wait so steamvr will finally support directx 12?
Rift s
I'm 65mm and rift s is fine
Rift S is ideal for 64, and works 59-70
Within that range, it's usually good. It has a very large sweetspot
Huh is that why I don't need glasses with it
Rift s is also the superior headset
No, that's probably more if your range if clear vision is further than the focal distance
Set supersampling to 5 and hmmm yum
I'm near sighted
yall
Like I can drive without glasses if I'm fine breaking the law and not reading signs
Same, but i need glasses in the rift S. I can only see clear about 1.5 feet without them
No glasses gang gang
My friend who I convinced to buy a rift s turned it to have 60mm ipd and said it was kinda weird
Whats the smallest ipd the rift offers
Normal Oculus and wmr I could read way better with glasses rift s is clear as day
If the IPD is set wrong, it will look weird to you
Rift s lenses don't move
The rift S has great lenses
It's like the wmr iod
Ipd onl software
@ivory axle the lowest software ipd on rift S is 58mm
I accidently put it on with my glasses and got a scratch I luckaly can't notice with it on but normal Oculus handled that better when it because my fug it backup headset
58.8-70.2 is what my rift can be adjusted to
Kool
How well does it handle lower ipds though
Good
I have very low ipd like the smallest the oculus can do
I was gonna upgrade to vive and fbt next month but imma wait until a better model gets released in the next year
Better model? Of what?
so i just found out im still visitor rank i have been vrchat for over a year im sure i have more then enough hours that sucks 😩
My friend swears it seems weird to them but admitted it might be because they just realized they're 60mm
Index is out, and Vive is making the Cosmos their next headset
Rift S and quest are here
Like vive will probably release another product that will be the upgrade of the normal vive
You on a steam account?
Index is too much im just gonna be patient
Legit i bought the rift and the rift s got released the week after
they did bring out the cosmos, but that needs optimizing first. alot. especially the tracking
Index is really good too
The cosmos doesnt look my thing imo
But I dislike how vrchat handles geastures with it
Yeah well i dont have 1k in mypocket
It's a fun gimmick but rift controllers are the superior gaming controllers
Yes
speaking of index. Have they finally fixed the stick clicking issue?
Bo
My controllers are fine
No
Didn't put too much stress on them though one of them is a hip tracker now
I know someone who has replaced their controllers 5 times via warranty
Only advantage ive seen with index in vrc is just for mutes who do sign language
Like gameplay wise
It's not that accurate
no im not guess its cause i dont add anyone i stay to myself oh well one day should happen i just cant build till then
Ik the quality is good but like "yay i can move my pinkies"
Better off using custom anims on rift controllers for sign language imo
It's jenky sometimes
Can't move fingers side to side
Just back and fourth
Im just waiting until something better gets released
Can't organically change emotes on the fly
Probably going to be waiting 3 years for a new headset
Can't put middle finger up for rock and roll and it's hard to pull off
And something will get released because what will companies do just not produce anything for a whole year? Nah theyll be developing something
they even had a glove that tracks each finger in the 19xx WHY DONT WE HAVE IT NOW??
Yeah id rather wait than spend a ton on something not potentially good now
Probably hard to pull off cost efficient and robust
Index still has faults
It's a great headset
But every headset thatll be relased has something new about it
Good audio
Yep.. i know.
Hm
I dont have much atm either so if i were to get a vive and fbt id be broke
I like rift S. The screen feels like it has more sde to me compared to wmr, but everything else i like more about it
Get that cdl dude
You don't need FBT right off the bat, it can wait.
@vocal shard didn't Lenovo help make it
Ive had the original oculus for a year
@vocal shard yeah
