just relog and it'll work again
it seems like people got forcibly logged out - basically you lose your ID, game doesn't know who you are -> you can't change model
relog and the game will let you change again

Multi network crashing is not typically a DDoS. More likely some bug in routing somewhere. You'd be surprised by how dumbly some parts of the internet function.

It's not even aws either. I'm still playing Star citizen without issue, but they have quite a few servers across aws. Probably just a network connected to the datacenter used by vrc

Switch to all "large" attacks and DoS your browser to death with lines and dots 😛

vocal shard
#

@placid umbra i dunno if you want everyone else to believe that its not a vrchat but an aws issue or if you really believe that yourself. the gameservers arent hosted at aws (unfortunately) and they seem to be the ones having issues right now 🤷

#

Is vrchat playable now?

left kestrel
#

Sometimes

vocal shard
#

Yes.

covert chasm
#

AWS is reading green across the board, so we suspect its something else going on. Either way, we're looking into it 🙂

VRC, Discord, and mixer were all having issues at the same time for me

Creepy

minor yarrow

did they fix the issues?

vocal shard
#

@covert chasm yeah, if it would be an aws issue i would be among the first ones to know about since its my job to keep their infra alive :)
i suggest to reach out to gcl or photon to ask them whats going on with the servers since they are the ones having problems, at least from what i can see with my limited toolset

#

anyways, good luck in getting the problems fixed

#

How VRChat could go from a decent game to a great game: Fix memory leaks

lunar cedar
#

In what circumstances do they occur? I've yet to see one in 330 hours

#

Do you mean the egregious memory use by certain avatars? Because nothing the vrchat team can do can make the disappear completely

indigo fern
#

Depends how much ram you have also, some people have had the game reaching to upwards 32gb

covert chasm
#

Most obnoxious RAM usage comes from avatars 🤔

indigo fern
#

The game just tends to use as much as you have available

covert chasm
#

There's a few places where the UI had some issues, but those have been long solved.

indigo fern
#

My avatar eats dedotated wam

#

Nom

covert chasm
#

Unity only allows unloading of assets in a few situations, and if you sit in the same world for a long time with people loading new avatars every X seconds, you're going to accrue a good bit of cruft.

#

You can solve that by swapping worlds, sometimes a few times. That will clear unused assets.

#

Unfortunately due to Unity's limitations there's not much way around that. As far as I know (and I'm no Unity engineer, but i'm parroting people who are) you cannot unload bundles unless you change scenes

indigo fern
#

100% sure 8gb in VR is not enough for a long session in vrc

lunar cedar
#

I guess I world hop too frequently to notice that

#

Maybe vrchat should require users to take an avatar optimization test before being allowed to upload

#

Like how many mats does your eboy/egirl require? Must be over 50 to upload

royal panther
#

is vrchat still broke ?

warped thorn
#

I do wish people cared more about optimization, but all I can do about it is block the vrcPerfVeryPoors

mighty nest
#

New user time friends. The wait is long over

devout island
#

How long did it take

mighty nest
#

I had 8 hours on steam +1/2 not on steam. Made 1 random friend and pretty much just sat in a corner watching youtube videos in pug the entire time.

devout island
#

Sounds like fun

#

Wait how did you watch youtube videos in the pug

snow wadi
#

Going afk doesn't count towards ranking.

devout island
#

What if it was by that 1 friend

snow wadi
#

No that wouldn't cut it, must have hopped to quite a few worlds.

devout island
#

That helps too hmm I should visit more worlds

snow wadi
#

I created quite a few high quality worlds so by the time the ranking system kicked in I was immediately shot to trusted (veteran rank at the time but they changed that soon after).

devout island
#

Nice how does it feel to have that purple name

vocal shard
#

It makes you feel like turning it off

snow wadi
#

It's... nothing ng special tbh, my rank doesn't define who I am ingame.

shell zinc
#

everyone thinks ill be rude to them, it aint great

devout island
#

It's really that bad huh I thought it looked pretty cool

shell zinc
#

i mean it's alright, especially after putting time and effort into vrchat

devout island
#

Nothing bad with green then

vocal shard
#

I like the look of the purple, but since people have started a bad stigma against it, it sometimes feels better to appear as a normal user

devout island
#

Wish it didn't have such a bad rep but can't really complain

crystal fossil
#

Before they implemented it, I had considered a custom colored nametag and it was going to be purple, so this kind of works for me.

snow wadi
#

The ranking system was supposed to identify who is what but instead it created a seperation in the community. And we have the malicious users to thank for that.

indigo fern
#

It was a meme at first and still is, nobody really mentions it when I'm in publics

#

And I'm primarily in publics

finite topaz
#

I’m only known user but tbh nobody cares if you’re new user or Trusted it’s just about you lol

indigo fern
#

The people that set their own safety settings usually either have it off or affecting everyone

#

The only thing ranks are good for is seeing a pure visitor with VR so you can show them the ropes

vocal shard
#

^^
That's one thing I miss about loading into the hub, was finding new users you could help introduce to the game, or maybe even VR

indigo fern
#

Man, I loved the hub

#

Homeworlds are nice and all, but like it doesn't really do much since you leave it the second you get on

finite topaz
#

Hey sometimes you sit there for like a minute 😂

crystal fossil
#

Yeah, the hub was nice for a social platform. A few bad eggs gotta ruin it for the bunch.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

indigo fern
#

I do to calibrate my full body, but that's about it

#

Nah the hub change wasn't because anyone ruined it, they added homeworld option, which is still neat

crystal fossil
#

You could already homeworld. It didn't really benefit the socialization aspect of VRC, imo.

#

It's still better to use Launch options to load into a shared instance, tbh

#

But homeworld makes that iffy. They fight over which is priority and whichever it picks could be random.

#

Miss the hub and having optional homeworlds.

That feeling when someone mods the client and records information from your account and you cant get ahold of someone to fix the issue 👀

hollow sluice
#

Happens to literally everyone

copper grotto
#

Figured

faint skiff
#

"records information from your account"?

hollow sluice
#

They probably mean ip grabbing

copper grotto
#

Yeah probably

hollow sluice
#

Oh

#

You dont even knowwhat youre talk8ng about?!?!

covert blade
#

Just close Steam when playing if that's the issue

faint skiff
#

Don't do that if you're using SteamVR though, you'll lose access to your desktop and other things.

snow wadi
#

^

covert blade
#

Thats exactly when you should do it

snow wadi
#

Your VR setup will just collapse xD

covert blade
#

Avoids the IP grabbing issue

#

Hmm

faint skiff
#

Yeah, Steam will then also try and close VRChat and everything will break.

copper grotto
#

Ah

covert blade
#

Oof

copper grotto
#

Ok then

faint skiff
#

So not sure who started that weird suggestion in the first place.

hollow sluice
#

I mean @copper grotto doesnt even know what he meant by that

covert blade
#

@ruby needle Did I think

faint skiff
#

It's fine if you're using it via Oculus, but don't do that if you're actually launching the game via Steam.

copper grotto
#

*she

And I have someone who is explaining it better to me than I can to you

faint skiff
#

(or using SteamVR)

copper grotto
#

Something about if you have the user blocked, they can use the recorded IP to follow you into private worlds

hollow sluice
#

Lol

#

I mean

#

They can just bypass the block

ruby needle
#

I didnt start it the suggestion, but i give it since it does what it does.

#

Ofc also loosing all steam features

hollow sluice
#

And just follow you around

copper grotto
#

I left them unblocked so i dont add them to my api list or whatever its called and they can trace me

hollow sluice
#

I dont think thats how that works

copper grotto
#

I just emailed the mod team so im gonna end it with that

#

Im gonna go back to my game 👌

hollow sluice
#

They can trace you no matter what

#

If they have a good client they can follow you whatever you do

rough pulsar
#

They should not be able to get to you if you're in a private instance.

umbral reef
#

Properly private or invite only no. But with friends+ there have been ways

silver nova
#

The best defense against IP grabbing is still a VPN to be honest. Everyone should have one if they're able.

faint skiff
#

Just FYI, Steam's ToS says you're not allowed to use a VPN, so do so at the risk of losing your Steam account.

silver nova
#

Wait for real?? That doesn't make sense at all...

#

Looking it up, the bans seem to be related to people making purchases on the store and using VPNs to exploit exchange rates in certain countries.

vocal shard
#

hey all, been playing vr chat more now and gonna look into a headset? which is the one most people use? is there a wireless one? literally know nothing about them

faint skiff
#

Depends on your price range

pseudo basalt
#

You can't really exploit it anymore. To buy from a country you need to be in it, which a vpn allows but you also need to have a bank account in that country you're paying with

vocal shard
#

@faint skiff im not wanting to spend more than £400/500 really

errant hare
#

@vocal shard Only wireless option in that price range is Oculus Quest

silver nova
#

@vocal shard The main HMDs folks are using nowadays are the Oculus Rift S and HTC Vive. The Quest is wireless as well as only being $400, but it's very limited in the games it can play.

vocal shard
#

i mean id only really use it for vr chat and beat saber 😂

#

can it do those?

silver nova
#

Yup.

#

The quest might not be a bad option, but with VRchat you don't get the full experience.

errant hare
#

Yeah, although Quest is quite limited in VRChat

silver nova
#

You can only see avatars and worlds specifically designed for the quest.

wild stag
#

im planning to get an oculus rift s

vocal shard
#

oh...

errant hare
#

You can use pullies with wired headset to have experience similar to wireless though

faint skiff
#

I'd not wish the Quest VRChat experience on my worst enemies.

dapper nexus
#

hello normies

errant hare
#

hi

wild stag
#

hi flower

vocal shard
#

i only say wireless because cats lol

faint skiff
#

If you're not looking to use full body in future then the best thing in that price range is the Oculus Rift S most likely.

#

Yeah, you're not getting wireless in that price range.

wild stag
#

close your door

errant hare
#

Idk I don't have much experience with cats

wild stag
#

dont let the cats in

silver nova
#

Put a HTC vive tracker on your cat's collar so when it walks in your playspace you'll see it in VR
/s

vocal shard
#

they rip the carpet if i do that

wild stag
#

does the oculus rift s not support full body?

vocal shard
#

you can do that?!?!

faint skiff
#

Actually yeah lol

silver nova
#

Theoretically yeah, lol but I'm just kidding. But you could. 🤷

faint skiff
#

If you go into the SteamVR hypervisor you'll see the cat, or at least the tracker on the cat.

vocal shard
#

thats fab

faint skiff
#

The cat probably won't appreciate it though, the trackers are quite chunky.

silver nova
#

Yeah. It's an impractical solution now that I think about it.

faint skiff
#

You can skin the stuff in SteamVR though so you could probably put a cat model on that tracker, lol.

vocal shard
#

haha ill figure it out, so between oculus rift s and htc vive?

faint skiff
errant hare
#

Can I have a pet in VR that moves with Vive tracker strap to a real pet?

wild stag
#

dont do that

faint skiff
#

I wouldn't recommend the Vive unless you get one second hand. They're pretty low-res compared to the current headsets. It's only useful if you want a cheaper upgrade path to the Index in future.

wild stag
#

that looks like its hurting him

errant hare
#

My pet is quite large

vocal shard
#

yeah my cat is smol hahah

errant hare
#

Actually the pet doesnt even come to my room so it would be roaming somewhere else so that may be wierd

vocal shard
#

so for vr chat is the rift s pretty okay?

ruby needle
#

do not strap trackers to your pets cirNo

#

@vocal shard yeah cirComfy

errant hare
#

aye Rift S is pretty ok

faint skiff
#

@vocal shard Yeah, it's a common headset.

vocal shard
#

okay fab, thank you all!

silver nova
#

No problem. Also don't buy your HMD until around black friday/cyber monday, it's coming up quick. Might be able to get a massive discount.

faint skiff
#

Your only other possible choice would be the Vive Pro second hand but it's hard to find those and you'll be pushing your budget.

gilded helm
#

@ruby needle why not smh

faint skiff
#

There's almost no chance of the Rift S / Quest going on offer. The Quest is already below cost and the Rift S is already as low as they can make it. I'd be incredibly surprised if there was any discount at all.

silver nova
#

Awh. Damn.

ruby needle
#

@gilded helm cus dont put your pet's into stupid suits / belts

faint skiff
#

Also black friday / cyber monday isn't really a thing in the UK except on Amazon where it's a scam for them to sell garbage at fake prices.

gilded helm
#

I dont but i do want to put a camera on my dog

faint skiff
#

@ruby needle I mean those look like professional animal harnesses, not random crap attached to the cat.

ruby needle
#

a pet still shouldnt be held in harnesses outside of absolute nessesity

errant hare
#

Supposidly Rift S is gonna be $50 cheaper on black friday

faint skiff
#

That's the US

errant hare
#

mhm

wild stag
#

yay for me

gilded helm
#

I want a vive tracker sale :^)

errant hare
#

It is possible to find it cheaper on website on black friday in other countries, Rift was cheaper on black friday year ago but got sold out quickly

gilded helm
#

Check the official oculus website but other than that you just have to check local stuff

#

Which are just resellers

faint skiff
#

Oh no

mighty nest
#

Index on sale pls

slender barn
#

All I can say to anyone considering a VR headset is to not buy the S since the Quest gets Oculus Link this month and later gets hand/finger tracking using just its own cameras. They sadly seemed to have given up on the Rift S already.

faint skiff
#

None of what you just said is true apart from the first part and it's very misleading.

vocal shard
#

Quest is fine, if they don't have a working pc then it's their choice.

faint skiff
#

Firstly, the Rift S is a lot lighter and comfier than the Quest. Secondly the Rift S is higher resolution than the Quest (as Quest has poor screen door and the OLED is Pentile), the finger tracking is useless (as anyone that has used finger tracking before in the past will confirm). The Link will allow you to use the Quest as a PCVR headset BUT it will use compressed video to do so, at lower than native resolution and still use fixed foveated rendering (i.e. everything outside the centre of your vision is blurred/pixelated). Even Carmac himself said that the Rift S provides the superior PC experience.

#

Also what is the statement "They sadly seemed to have given up on the Rift S already" based on?

vocal shard
#

Quest does not have bad OLED, and it isn't has horrible as you keep describing it every time Enve. If Quest was that damn horrible, so many people wouldn't get it. Without the quest, so many people wouldn't had find out about VRCHAT. And most people with Quest for first time vr, plan to upgrade in the future. It brings people who are interested in vr for first time who can't afford a pc or a pc vr, to upgrade! I've had it for 6 months now and fully will upgrade next month and I don't regret my choice, so Enverex stop being so negative about the damn Quest.

faint skiff
#

It uses pentile OLED which makes the screen door and the sub-pixels very visible. I'm not sure why you're trying to hide/downplay that. I own a Quest, you're not talking to someone making guesses here.

#

And I'm not being negative about the Quest, I'm pointing out its "features". If you find that negative then maybe the headset is negative.

umbral reef

Pretty sure without youtube and twitch people would not find out about VRchat
not because of the quest

violet gale
#

I’m getting a oculus rift s. Is that good?

umbral reef
#

Also just because its good for X doesnt mean its a good headset.

errant hare
#

@violet gale Aye sir

violet gale
#

Hello

umbral reef
#

@violet gale best bang for your buck headset in quallity and price so yea

faint skiff
#

I'd honestly think VRChat on Quest would put people off it, not make them more interested.

violet gale
#

Oooof money tho😭

faint skiff
#

@violet gale It's one of the cheaper headsets, so if you think that's a lot of money..

violet gale
#

Yea ik 😂😂😂

warped creek
#

Aren't Rift S and Quest (64GB version) sold at pretty much the same price? Buying Quest and Link with it is more expensive than getting Rift S.

faint skiff
#

Yup, and even more expensive if you get the 128GB version, which, as they aren't upgradable, I'd say would be the one you'd want to get anyway.

#

You're looking at nearly £600 for the Quest + Link here.

umbral reef
#

@warped creek quest with link is more expensive, so unless you want the quest for purely the quest part its less worth doing that (also as you need to buy most games on PC and on the quest store to play them with on the link and without link)

violet gale
#

Should I get the oculus quest or rift s

plush nymph
#

has vive ever gone down below $300

errant hare
#

I don't think so and if I remember correctly last year black friday the Vive wasn't even cheaper

plush nymph
#

dam

#

going for odyssey+ for sure then

errant hare
#

Probably the best chance you have is look up all retailers that can ship it to you and check them on blackfriday as often as you can afford to

faint skiff
#

Vive is discontinued now anyway. You can get them very cheap second hand though.

Does vrchat have a mobile app that's like there website version where you can see friends list and world's and avatars and so on. I made a app as a collage project for facebook that only has news feed messager and profile stuff so it was a super lite version of facebook. Just asking if it is something that vrchat could make as a future idea or if I could give it a go myself ?

Just wondering because it would be call to have a app like that as chrome on androids eats alot of ram on older phones and now that the quest is out not many people could aford new phones or a pc

umbral reef
#

No mobile stuff for VRchat
Mainly because its not needed to use it and shitty computers can run a website...

rain beacon
#

I don't mind doing it for free too because I rather help out than get paid and I all ready get income from my job

#

I'm thinking off a more on the go type app like people do like browsing twitter or Facebook or reddit when on trains buses or in the car (obviously not the one driving)

umbral reef
#

Well all the info on the website is who's online, in what world, the msg status and beside that nothing important
A lightweight chrome build would work also

rain beacon
#

Ah okay

#

Okay was just a thought....I should research more. My bad sorry for wasting your time

umbral reef
#

Always works for me 🤷
But i only have problems with it when its actually down down

#

Well you can still make an app, it just wont be complex at all and tbh i doubt it would be usefull with how non connected to the game it is.

rain beacon
#

That's true

#

But I give it a go anyway

#

Gives me something to do when my headset is charging

@faint skiff Everything I said in terms of future features is true, I'm just not 100% sure on details since I haven't heard much about the finger tracking. As for the image being compressed from the few articles I've read no one could tell the difference at all (that could be a lie of course, I wouldn't know if they were paid). As for Rift S being given up on that system was already confirmed the last I checked to not be getting the finger tracking (which apparently sucks according to you). On a side note, I have about 4 friends now who have built a PC and have gotten an S or are waiting for the Quest link based on their limited experience in the Quest who wanted more so I'd say the Quest is a nice gateway drug into high end VR. Lol

snow wadi
#

Quest? High end VR?

#

...wot

lunar cedar
#

"the gateway drug". They're saying it'll give you that sweet sweet taste that makes you come back for index in no time

snow wadi
#

And regret the day you bought a quest. XD

lunar cedar
#

yep

indigo fern
#

they all just waiting for the pc connection with the quest

#

it already has gud resolution, so with a pc that can actually use it would be epic

lunar cedar
#

Except with "fixed foveal" rendering. So idk about epic. Better than rift cv1 and vive probably, but idk about others

indigo fern
#

yea, i wouldnt say it compares to the gen 2 vr stuff

#

maybe like a gen 1.4

lunar cedar
#

Yea, it's definitely going to contend with all the still available gen1 stuff.

#

Even htc is selling gen 1 refurbs now lol

indigo fern
#

yea lmao, vr is pretty good for people rn

so many options

Cosmos tripped out the door at launch with its tracking.

indigo fern
#

i dont even think anyone opened the door for cosmos 😂

#

dude walked right into a wall

snow wadi
#

According to one review it was seen as one of the worst tracking in the market...wmr is looking over it's shoulder like "bruh..."

indigo fern
#

wmr looking like the guy rubbing his hands together menacingly

#

all according to plan

vocal shard
#

Mrtv made a video comparing it to rift S and wmr tracking. It was really bad

hollow sluice
#

Cosmos walked in to a wall and when people saw it they shot it with a shotgun for good measure

snow wadi
#

I saw that vid, the tracking looked horrible.

indigo fern
#

its okay, it gives more points for wmr for those naysayers 😲

snow wadi
#

All that fancy marketing must make them look pretty silly right now.

hollow sluice
#

So why did they use such a weird tracking method? Was it to save on sensors?

snow wadi
#

Lenovo is up there like "dude wtf are you doing?"

indigo fern
#

can you imagine first time vr users buying the cosmos vrpill

snow wadi
#

Also you'd thing Q&A would notice the issue before it even left the fucking bench.

#

How the hell did they greenlight that as a launch product?!

indigo fern
#

maybe they actually did get people who never used vr to test it

hollow sluice
#

They probably got blind ppl to test it

snow wadi
#

That would be the only explanation, or they wanted a piece of the pie in the market before rift S took the whole plate.

indigo fern
#

the mall kiosk phone vr people

snow wadi
#

Lenovo really pulled it off with their inside out tracking.

vocal shard
#

It's just so... Ahh.
The tracking software could probably be fixed, but the rest of it has issues

snow wadi
#

Slight hiccups but miles better than it's predecessor.

vocal shard
#

It seems like, wmr and rift S worked a lot on predictive tracking to cope with occlusion, where HTC seemed to forget that was a thing

snow wadi
#

I think my rift S purchase was yet another good decision in VR after Lenovo explorer.

#

From all the wmrs, explorer was the most comfortable and had the best tracking from the bunch in the wmr market.

indigo fern
#

I only got it because it was the cheapest at the time of purchase 😂

vocal shard
#

Odyssey+ had better tracking due to built in Bluetooth

#

But yeah. I still use my Lenovo explorer... Although now I'm starting to feel the small sweetspot and want something like a rift S now with a large sweetspot

snow wadi
#

Sweet spot is fantastic on s.

vocal shard
#

Mhmm. I liked it

snow wadi
#

I barely have to adjust my headset during use.

still lark
#

i feel like i'm putting the rift s on wrong but im too lazy to fix it

lunar cedar
#

I think the problem is the amount of data they have to process was more than any feature tracking algorithm could realistically process in realtime. 6 color cameras

vocal shard
#

Cosmos just seems like everything was designed to be a 1 up to all the competition, but it all failed putting too many eggs in your basket

snow wadi
#

My only issue with the rift S is I can't have both the built-in mic and speakers enabled, otherwise I will sound robotic frequently.

lunar cedar
#

I bet the tracking works great on an i9-10900x or ryzen 3990WX though

snow wadi
#

That single USB 3 cable is just not enough.

#

Then again it could be my rig.

lunar cedar
#

Yea, that can happen with isochronous transfers (audio being one) on a USB connection that's being overloaded

snow wadi
#

A dual USB 3 would have solved it.

#

But they opted for less ports usage.

#

I actually bought a dedicated USB 3 pci card specifically for the headset because my mobo has ASmedia for USB 3 and they're troublesome for VR.

lunar cedar
#

It wouldn't matter if it's a single host controller though

snow wadi
#

No I mean dual it through and through, not just the cable.

lunar cedar
#

My system just has two host controllers, but I know of some (tbh rare) systems that don't. It would kinda depend on the user knowing which ports to plug in though. Maybe the software could complain if they don't plug it in right

snow wadi
#

Trust me Oculus app nags...alot.

#

Especially about the sensors.

#

It used to but it stopped for a while now.

lunar cedar
#

lol, losing tracking occasionally or something else? I don't get that unless I've faceplanted on the ground 😛

#

Oculus complains about the sensors, put headset on and works just fine. Oculus y u du dis?

lunar cedar
#

A 429 ban is temporary, but got no clue how long it lasts

#

Maybe someone spammed a video player with urls in a world you were in or the video player itself bugged out and spammed

#

Either way, you have to wait or get your ip to release and get a new one

#

Go into your browser, you may be able to get the captcha request to appear on google or youtube.

vocal shard
#

i got the captcha but that only sets cookies for the current browser. any idea if youtube dl looks for a cookie file in a predefined directory where i could write my browser cookies into?

lunar cedar
#

No idea if this works with whatever calling system unity/vrchat uses, but you could make a youtube-dl.cmd file in the same folder as youtube-dl.exe. Rename youtube-dl.exe to something else, then put <renamed-youtube-dl.exe> --cookies .\cookiefile %* into that.

#

One sec, can't remember the syntax There

#

Assuming the packaged youtube-dl has cookie support, otherwise you need to get a youtube-dl that does

#

cookiefile needs to a Netscape format cookies file

@rancid vessel If you have more just send it and they will judge if its enough. If you have nothing you dont have to email them back, you can send an email asking how to get more information or say you cant provide it.

#

@umbral reef nope it didn’t work

#

@pale timber still didn’t work

covert blade

Yes, but only on Quest compatible worlds

#

I would not recommend the Quest for VRChat at all

hexed iris
#

Oh now it works

covert blade
#

I would still not recommend it, not for VRChat at least

ruby needle
#

why?

#

it's limited in terms of what PC content can do

#

still isnt bad

#

going from PC to Quest is propably hard.

covert blade
#

You're at the mercy of the content creators to make avatars and worlds that actually work with the Quest, as well as at the mercy of people deciding to use an Avatar that is Quest compatible AND is vrcPerfPoor or better

pale timber
#

are you getting quest just for vrc?

ruby needle
#

you're also on the mercy of content creators to have worlds and avatars on PC

covert blade
#

Except I don't have limitations. If the world exist and a friend is online, I can join.

#

On the Quest, a world may exist but I may not be able to follow my friend there. Depending on the avatar he's using I might not be able to see it either.

ruby needle
#

Beeing a PC user and having grown the experience and firend base that way i can see why you'd never wanna touch it

#

but starting with a quest and building your friend base and expericen with it

#

sure is okay.

covert blade
#

I would still, not recommend it.

frosty veldt
#

Gonna get to the point where you can't join someone cuz they are using a quest only avatar in a quest only world lmao

shell zinc
#

well then that’s when quest users mostly make quest friends and vice versa

frosty veldt
#

Yeah I honestly just treat the platforms as separate at this point

shell zinc
#

the crossplay worlds are mostly pc in my experience, and not many of them are gonna have a quest avatar, if a quest user is fine with that then sure stay but it’s probably gonna just go to quest only stuff

covert blade
#

Not only that, but you may also run into the problem where people are using Quest supported avatars but they're vrcPerfVeryPoor

#

So you'd have to manually show the avatar, which in turn means your performance might be pretty bad

shell zinc
#

same way for pc too though doesnt really change much

ruby needle
#

a lot of PC avatars are vrcPerfVeryPoor too

covert blade
#

Except the Quest is way, WAY less powerful than a PC

ruby needle
#

ofc.

shell zinc
#

depending on your pc

covert blade
#

And yes, I know a lot of PC avatars are vrcPerfVeryPoor because people be like that

ruby needle
#

Also, with quest link.

shell zinc
#

we have people that suffer when one vrcPerfVeryPoor avatar is shown and others that dont suffer

ruby needle
#

Quest is an absolute banger.

#

as a starter

covert blade
#

And then we have me who is always suffering

shell zinc
#

has definitely come around to the idea of quest since considering quest only worlds

rigid crescent
#

As a newer user you're already cut off from a majority of the playerbase, i can't imagine being even more cut off lol

you can use user created stuff

#

but you cant make any stuff

covert blade
#

Considering Sony's rather strict stance towards user generated content in other games I would imagine it being the same for VRChat

frosty veldt
#

If you can't make any stuff then you can't use user created stuff lmao @wild stag

shell zinc
#

i just consider other things like, would playstation allow something that has uh.. copyrighted stuff, i suppose, im kinda dumb i apologise

wild stag
#

yes you can

#

if you make it that way

covert blade
#

That's not how that works if you're dealing with making content for a platform for another company.

rigid crescent
#

a PSVR version would probably just have to be an entirely new game lol

#

so yeah, not vrchat for sure

covert blade
#

Sony would look at VRChat and be like WOOOOAH you can't just upload whatever you want

shell zinc
#

#BringBackPlaystationHome

wild stag
#

vrchat on the psvr would just be playstation home but in vr

shell zinc
#

so make pshome vr vrcFPaulSip

rigid crescent
#

💤 yeah i think i'll stick to PCVR lol

wild stag
#

me too

shell zinc
#

gimme labo vrchat

wild stag
#

the labo headset doesnt have a headstrap

#

so it would have to be played differently

frosty veldt
#

With ducktape

wild stag
#

it doesnt work

shell zinc
#

a whole new way to play vrchat then, good for marketting vrcFPaulSip

wild stag
#

if you look down the headset falls off your face

frosty veldt
#

Never even heard of labo tbh

shell zinc
#

do you like cardboard?

frosty veldt
#

So not a real headset got it

wild stag
#

it has a real headset

shell zinc
#

it is, it’s nintendo’s vr

wild stag
#

its not entirely made of cardboard

frosty veldt
#

I feel any VR headset with any cardboard whatsoever isnt a good idea

wild stag
#

labo is a thing where you can create stuff out of cardboard

#

like the piano

#

where you slide your switch screen in and use the piano keys to make music

frosty veldt
#

But if it's just the switch screen then it isn't VR though right? No depth perception

#

Be like the YouTube 360 with your phone

ruby needle
#

nah, thats not how that works

#

it's like google cardboard

#

you use a thing with it

wild stag
#

its a headset

#

you slide your nintendo switch screen into it

frosty veldt
#

More power to em I guess

covert blade
#

Is it bad that I own a Switch and have basically no idea about Labo vrcThinking

frosty veldt
#

Probably not if you already have a headset

wild stag
#

labo is optional

covert blade
#

I had the Switch way before that

wild stag
#

labo isnt something new

#

well

#

its recent

jagged zodiac
#

u can already see the pixels in the switch screen without putting ur face up to it

covert blade
#

I have my Switch since launch

wild stag
#

i think the labo came out in 2017?

#

no

#

it came out in 2018

jagged zodiac
#

i don’t understand why people want to play vrchat with headsets other than pcvr,, pcvr is so much of a better experience than not being able to openly see everyone and visit worlds

#

i love the quest users, they’re really wholesome, but i wish they could do the same things as pcvr users, it’s sad that they’re not getting the full experience (even though it’s still a probably overall great experience)

#

i think it’s always better to just save for a pc and run vr off of that

#

esp bc once you have a pc you can play other games too easily

wild stag
#

wait what do you mean

tropic thicket
#

that sounds like two opposite views

wild stag
#

vr systems always come with headsets

covert blade
#

The Quest is perfectly fine for other games tho

jagged zodiac
#

i mean pc games, not vr games

#

and you can use a pc for other things, like if you ever want to get into art or photoshop or video editing

covert blade
#

You can have a PC capable of playing PC games but have it be not good enough to actually play VR well

wild stag
#

people play vrchat with vr headsets because thats what it was meant for

jagged zodiac
#

idk my pc isn’t high end and i get 90 frames in vr

umbral reef
#

Most of the people playing VRchat are desktop
Atleast last time we got the stats on it

covert blade
#

Not very surprising

jagged zodiac
#

honestly i’d rather play desktop than use a quest even though i don’t like going on vrchat not in vr, bc i could still explore worlds n hang out with my friends

#

but thats just bc i already played in non quest worlds

#

i imagine its different if your first experience is quest

faint skiff
#

Quest + Shadow PC is probably the best budget option but still able to get the full experience. Downside is you need an amazing internet connection.

jagged zodiac
#

why not just use a rift if you’re going to use a pc with it anyways though,,

#

it’s the same price

faint skiff
#

Because you need a PC able to run VR in the first place. If all you have is a rubbish laptop then you'd have to build/buy a high-end PC.

frosty veldt
#

Starting from nothing I would think a bare bones PCVR would be 1000ish but thats a massive guesstimation

umbral reef
#

Its almost like you pay what you get for with tech 🤔
Budget options only gets you the most basic gear and the extremely expensive end is just loads of extra's

#

1K for a proper PCVR is a fair guess.
Thats without the headset sadly.

jagged zodiac
#

ye i spent $1300 on my pc

#

+$400 for the rift

broken plover
#

~1000 for pc and vr. between 500-600 on pc and then maybe 200-300ish on the headset

frosty veldt
#

What headset is 200-300?

broken plover
#

wmr

covert blade
#

WMR

broken plover
#

and you do notice the price

covert blade
#

The Rift S costs 449€

frosty veldt
#

I haven't kept up with prices/headsets outside of Vive and Valve tbh

#

Even then arnt the OG Vive and the index the only outside in tracking headsets?

covert blade
#

Well the original Vive is discontinued, the Vive Pro (imo) is stupidly expensive and Cosmos seems to be a bit eh from what I've heard

#

Nope

#

AFAIK the Pimax also uses light houses

broken plover
#

technically theyre both inside out but the rift cv1 also has cameras that do the tracking

umbral reef
#

inside out isnt as bad as people claim it to be
Lowlight its still wheeze worthy and some headsets are 5head tracking with it. But most are fine

frosty veldt
#

I'm too used to the outside in as well as FBT being impossible with inside out. I did forget about the Pimax though

faint skiff
#

Vive Trackers are still inside out tracking 😉

frosty veldt
#

What makes you say that?

broken plover
#

but only in theory because they still require objects placed to track (the lighthouses)

#

they have little cameras on them which catch the lasers sent by the lighthouses

faint skiff
#

The original Rift was the only real outside-in tracked system that I'm aware of. Lighthouse systems are marker based inside-out tracking.

#

Which is why the lighthouses don't actually connect to your PC.

frosty veldt
#

But most people just refer to outside-in vs inside-out on the basis of visual to headset though. My Vive headset can be under the bed and my hand controllers still track

faint skiff
#

People commonly referring to it by the wrong name isn't a good reason to follow suit 😉 The position of the headset to the controllers has no bearing on whether it's inside out or outside in. That issue stems from the fact that in the inside out implementation of those headsets is on the headset itself.

#

The controllers track themselves (making them inside out) with lighthouse systems where as with the Rift, the headset tries to track them, hence the headset needing line of sight.

frosty veldt
#

I get you, guess I should rephrase from 'outside-in' to 'lighthouse based'

#

Doesn't the rift have sensors though? Are those just like lighthouses?

faint skiff
#

The definition of inside out or outside in is based on who's doing the tracking. With the original rift, the cameras (which are on the outside of the hardware) did the tracking, hence outside in. With the Rift S, the headset does the tracking, so it's inside out. With lighthouse systems, the lighthouses aren't actually doing the tracking, the devices themselves still do the tracking, thus it's still inside out.

broken plover
#

the rift cv1 has cameras that see the controllers

#

the controllers send IR light which is tracked by the cameras

faint skiff
#

So PSVR is also outside in, as the PSEye camera is what does the actual tracking.

frosty veldt
#

Alright thanks for the explanations for that, for the rift the room needs to be lit right? No dark play lol

faint skiff
#

Yeah, that's the downside of the Rift S not strobing the room with it's own light. Same with the Cosmos, but much worse.

broken plover
#

for rift s yes but I think the old rift can be used with no light

frosty veldt
#

I'm just glad the old Vive is good enough imo to not want an upgrade

#

Ride it till it dies

faint skiff
#

I wonder how the old Rift works without light. Does it have an IR array to flood the room with light?

broken plover
#

yeah the headset and controllers send out IR things that are tracked by the (external) cameras

faint skiff
#

(basically how night vision on security cameras works)

#

Ahh, makes sense.

broken plover
#

and my friend always turns down the light because apparently he gets better tracking when its dark

faint skiff
#

@frosty veldt The Index is a massive upgrade over the Vive (except for black levels) so I'd recommend it if/when funds allow). I upgraded recently myself and good god, it's like going from VHS to BluRay.

mighty nest
#

1000$ for Index and another 500ish for a gpu upgrade to run it properly :c
Gonna be an expensive day when I splurge

meager solstice
#

What gpu r getting?

mighty nest
#

2080 super or equivalent I'm hoping.
Wait that's nearly 800. ouch

frosty veldt
#

@faint skiff Yeah if/when I upgrade it's going to be to the index. However if feels bad to upgrade when my stuff works right now. I feel no rush to upgrade so waiting is fine with me

faint skiff
#

Fair enough

#

It is nice that it's a drop in replacement, you literally swap the headset out and it "just works" without even having to reconfigure SteamVR.

wild stag
#

i just noticed that the htc vive vr is 400 dollars

#

atleast for the "Certified Pre-Owned" vr system

#

should i get that instead?

faint skiff
#

If you're getting a Vive, get a cheap one second hand. They're discontinued now.

I think I have to update windows

Cause I’m using WMR for this

wild stag
#

couldnt find a cheap one

#

cant find any cheap ones

I can easily find a used vive for about 250

wild stag
#

yeah

#

you can

#

i found cheap headsets

#

that dont include the full thing

A used Vive is still about $500 cad here animesweat

Ebay isnt like amazon where you quickly buy something... you have to look for a good offer. They come and go...

wild stag

still couldnt find one

broken plover
#

if you look again tomorrow you migh find one

wild stag
#

i might as well buy one from the vive store

faint skiff

@wild stag Where are you?

wild stag
#

what do you mean?

faint skiff
#

In which country do you reside?

wild stag
#

USA

faint skiff
#

I'm really surprised there's nothing then.

wild stag
#

i could find a cheap one

#

if i was really dedicated just to find a vr system less than 400 dollars

faint skiff
#

There's a bunch for a bit below $300.

wild stag
#

ehhhhhh

umbral reef
#

👏 'd

faint skiff
#

But for $400 you may as well get the Rift S if you don't intend to get FBT going forward.

wild stag

full body tracking?
