woohoo
How many times in a month
that pfp is lewd
NVM, got in.

I like how this is always a collective, when servers do the break is when it becomes more active.

This is happening so much lately rarghhgggggg
this is fine
garbage game
i enjoy the black screen
my favorite new game
black screen
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
stop giving us solutions, i just want to be mad at the game
stop crying muffin
i will eat the muffin
i dont cry
as long as i stay here
i call things as they are
then go help fix the problem
server having issues
i can load avatars again tho
Looks like server issues.
Yep
Restarting the client fixed avatars for me
Anyone know about an avi that's a little Neko that dances to some songs, including Do you by Toyboi?
my avatars load again but everyone keeps freezing
just why people
png too high and people staying blue people whats going on?
Servers probably getting ddosed

that and im not seeing changes made and pushed in uploads
aaand avatars are borked again >.<
.>
The servers are having issues and they are aware and monitors the situation. Just got to wait and be patient.
idk
So where do I go to get a decent avatar until I'm not a visitor?
We are playing by just describing what we are doing cause everyone is just frozen in place...
lmao
vrchat is broken right now might as well take a break
log out
!online
There are 6218 users in VRChat currently
@fast bronze it was literally posted at the same time you asked why no announcement:P
i saw XD
how is vrchat broken?
i just did a cool thing tho and need to test it X.X
vrchat made an oopsie woopsie
avatars are loading slow or not at all, and then people are not seeing people move
is this just now? because I was playing five hours ago and it looked fine
ah
its A a holiday in the us, B peak time that everyone usually floods on for events and after work
so likely a ddos or less likely a server issue

i got timeout again?
I got timedout as well
With me;
-Takes awhile to join a world.
-Avatars are slow (or never load).
-People's voices get choppy/laggy.
vrchat is critical high yikes right now
something seems up im getting timeouts or cant load avatars and voice stops
seems like a server attack from the looks of it
i just gonna waiit a day hope its fixed
timed out again
hewwo vrchat you ok?
hah, vrc is never okay!
so is vrchat terminaly ill?
Too many solars
i'm the og
not enough apples
Hearing reports other games are having similar issues. Something about Overwatch is seeing 2000 ping.
and discord too
owo data centers being DDos?
Oops woopsy
Issues seem to be popping up with a bunch of services.
We made a fucky wucky uwu
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.
UWU the more you know
That physically hurts me
I got a truck load
The internet is a series of rick and morty
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
Gahh cant join on people!!
#announcements #vrchat-general-1 literallu any of these channels + reading up and maybe scrolling like an inch
were aware, ongoing issue
a wild shokk 😲
Servers are takin a beatin so here I am. Spying 👀
Who’s shokk
🤷 I guess it's my name, I dunno
Shokking truth
Oh dang
Fun website to look at:
https://www.digitalattackmap.com/#anim=1&color=0&country=ALL&list=1&time=18210&view=map
I was hiding out in @left kestrel 's avatar server to get away from people while things went to shit, lol.
Of course, messing with avatars still wasn't working so I logged off to wait it out.
Switch to all "large" attacks and DoS your browser to death with lines and dots 😛
@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?
Sometimes
Yes.
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
did they fix the issues?
@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
still pooping the bed?
shokk is a madlad 👌

How VRChat could go from a decent game to a great game: Fix memory leaks
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
Depends how much ram you have also, some people have had the game reaching to upwards 32gb
Most obnoxious RAM usage comes from avatars 🤔
The game just tends to use as much as you have available
There's a few places where the UI had some issues, but those have been long solved.
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
100% sure 8gb in VR is not enough for a long session in vrc
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
is vrchat still broke ?
I do wish people cared more about optimization, but all I can do about it is block the
s
optimised avatar appreciation day
i was starting to wonder if it was even worth turning on my computer to hop on or not
vrchat seems to be working
New user time friends. The wait is long over
How long did it take
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.
Going afk doesn't count towards ranking.
What if it was by that 1 friend
No that wouldn't cut it, must have hopped to quite a few worlds.
That helps too hmm I should visit more worlds
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).
Nice how does it feel to have that purple name
It makes you feel like turning it off
It's... nothing ng special tbh, my rank doesn't define who I am ingame.
everyone thinks ill be rude to them, it aint great
It's really that bad huh I thought it looked pretty cool
i mean it's alright, especially after putting time and effort into vrchat
Nothing bad with green then
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
Wish it didn't have such a bad rep but can't really complain
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.
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.
It was a meme at first and still is, nobody really mentions it when I'm in publics
And I'm primarily in publics
I’m only known user but tbh nobody cares if you’re new user or Trusted it’s just about you lol
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
^^
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
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
Hey sometimes you sit there for like a minute 😂
Yeah, the hub was nice for a social platform. A few bad eggs gotta ruin it for the bunch.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
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
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.
So many good avatars, so little space T.T
I've gotten to the point where having to make space for another favourite is almost like having to give up a child
Welcome to VRChat!
I'm 5th cousin.
Hey
Hi
hay
ye
Jeebus
😎
yep , server are having issues i think
It was good for a couple hours, down it went again
down it goes
Yep. Black screen.
Its stronger than yesterday, right?
oof servers
It works for tWO seconds now it doesnt
the fuc
That feeling when someone mods the client and records information from your account and you cant get ahold of someone to fix the issue 👀
Happens to literally everyone
Figured
"records information from your account"?
They probably mean ip grabbing
Yeah probably
Just close Steam when playing if that's the issue
Don't do that if you're using SteamVR though, you'll lose access to your desktop and other things.
^
Thats exactly when you should do it
Your VR setup will just collapse xD
Yeah, Steam will then also try and close VRChat and everything will break.
Ah
Oof
Ok then
So not sure who started that weird suggestion in the first place.
I mean @copper grotto doesnt even know what he meant by that
@ruby needle Did I think
It's fine if you're using it via Oculus, but don't do that if you're actually launching the game via Steam.
*she
And I have someone who is explaining it better to me than I can to you
(or using SteamVR)
Something about if you have the user blocked, they can use the recorded IP to follow you into private worlds
I didnt start it the suggestion, but i give it since it does what it does.
Ofc also loosing all steam features
And just follow you around
I left them unblocked so i dont add them to my api list or whatever its called and they can trace me
I dont think thats how that works
I just emailed the mod team so im gonna end it with that
Im gonna go back to my game 👌
They can trace you no matter what
If they have a good client they can follow you whatever you do
They should not be able to get to you if you're in a private instance.
Properly private or invite only no. But with friends+ there have been ways
The best defense against IP grabbing is still a VPN to be honest. Everyone should have one if they're able.
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.
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.
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
Depends on your price range
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
@faint skiff im not wanting to spend more than £400/500 really
@vocal shard Only wireless option in that price range is Oculus Quest
@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.
Yup.
The quest might not be a bad option, but with VRchat you don't get the full experience.
Yeah, although Quest is quite limited in VRChat
You can only see avatars and worlds specifically designed for the quest.
im planning to get an oculus rift s
oh...
You can use pullies with wired headset to have experience similar to wireless though
I'd not wish the Quest VRChat experience on my worst enemies.
hello normies
hi
hi flower
i only say wireless because cats lol
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.
close your door
Idk I don't have much experience with cats
dont let the cats in
Put a HTC vive tracker on your cat's collar so when it walks in your playspace you'll see it in VR
/s
they rip the carpet if i do that
does the oculus rift s not support full body?
you can do that?!?!
Actually yeah lol
Theoretically yeah, lol but I'm just kidding. But you could. 🤷
If you go into the SteamVR hypervisor you'll see the cat, or at least the tracker on the cat.
thats fab
The cat probably won't appreciate it though, the trackers are quite chunky.
Yeah. It's an impractical solution now that I think about it.
You can skin the stuff in SteamVR though so you could probably put a cat model on that tracker, lol.
haha ill figure it out, so between oculus rift s and htc vive?
Can I have a pet in VR that moves with Vive tracker strap to a real pet?
dont do that
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.
that looks like its hurting him
My pet is quite large
yeah my cat is smol hahah
Looks like it's already a thing lol https://cdn2.alphr.com/sites/alphr/files/styles/og-image/public/2017/04/see_your_pet_in_vive_with_this_hack.jpg
Actually the pet doesnt even come to my room so it would be roaming somewhere else so that may be wierd
so for vr chat is the rift s pretty okay?
aye Rift S is pretty ok
@vocal shard Yeah, it's a common headset.
okay fab, thank you all!
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.
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.
@ruby needle why not smh
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.
Awh. Damn.
@gilded helm cus dont put your pet's into stupid suits / belts
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.
I dont but i do want to put a camera on my dog
@ruby needle I mean those look like professional animal harnesses, not random crap attached to the cat.
a pet still shouldnt be held in harnesses outside of absolute nessesity
Supposidly Rift S is gonna be $50 cheaper on black friday
That's the US
mhm
yay for me
I want a vive tracker sale :^)
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
Check the official oculus website but other than that you just have to check local stuff
Which are just resellers
Has anyone else turned into the wood sculpture and cubefruit when entering the room of rain in public?
howdy
Oh no
Index on sale pls
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.
None of what you just said is true apart from the first part and it's very misleading.
Quest is fine, if they don't have a working pc then it's their choice.
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?
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.
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.
Pretty sure without youtube and twitch people would not find out about VRchat
not because of the quest
I’m getting a oculus rift s. Is that good?
Also just because its good for X doesnt mean its a good headset.
@violet gale Aye sir
Hello
@violet gale best bang for your buck headset in quallity and price so yea
I'd honestly think VRChat on Quest would put people off it, not make them more interested.
Oooof money tho😭
@violet gale It's one of the cheaper headsets, so if you think that's a lot of money..
Yea ik 😂😂😂
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.
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.
@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)
Should I get the oculus quest or rift s
has vive ever gone down below $300
I don't think so and if I remember correctly last year black friday the Vive wasn't even cheaper
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
Vive is discontinued now anyway. You can get them very cheap second hand though.
can i promote my server somewhere here?o.o
Definitely not here.
i mean in the server itself
is wary of looking for headsets on ebay lol
does anybody have a fake loading avatar?
sasha mason does
where could i find those?
idk ask him @covert blade
#stopmemoryleeksvrchat
Can you even buy the base station 2.0 units on their own?
Maybe it's just a canada thing, but I can't seem to even find them listed anywhere
Ah, alright, thanks!
np .-.
The new sonic trailer is out boys
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
No mobile stuff for VRchat
Mainly because its not needed to use it and shitty computers can run a website...
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)
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
Ah okay
Okay was just a thought....I should research more. My bad sorry for wasting your time
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.
That's true
But I give it a go anyway
Gives me something to do when my headset is charging
guys can you send links in your own discord server?
Good day
Anyone having issues logging in via steam or normal account?
Steam is having issues
I can't log in at all. only web works
Login works with as long as you don't use Steam. (Start via the game exe instead)
It does seem to be a bit stable now, so should be able to login
welp, my password had to be reset. No idea why it was changed since i received no password email
Either way, sorted now.
Already feeling it 😉
tuesday my dudes
@copper trail if you created a ticket then you allready shared it to the team 
backup the prove then.

Anyone know the url for Nanachi's Discord? Or has anyone been to Nanachitale, and found out how many avatars there are? I've checked pretty much everywhere, still missing the dog and likely 1-2 others at least.
So far have Undyne, Temmie, Asriel, Mettaton, Papyrus, and Toriel.
Not really looking for someone to tell me the locations of the others, just want to find out if there's anything other than the dog left to get
🦊
Anyone else having issues logging in rn?
im having issues going to separate worlds that arent my home world
I tried logging in, and it instantly gives me an error
im uninstalling and reinstalling it to see if that fixes the issue
yep, unsintalling an reinstalling fixed my issue
Steamservers had some issue's a hour ago, maybe thats why, dunno
where is the new sdk that goes along with unity 2018.4.12f1
Shio you had me at uninstall
@austere quiver same one then live
you're supposed to ignore the unity version warning when testing 2018 out
So is the new one not supported yet
good thing I made copies of the ones I brought to the new version
Uploads with the 2018 version are only useable in beta till the 2018 update comes live
well, guess ill just get to the new version of unity until its released then

yes, odyssey+
touchpad is the default movement because a some people get sick from joystick movement
is vrchat not working for anyone else?
@vocal shard jamie uses wmr
He had 3 different external drivers registered. Leap motion was always being recognized as online and getting detected as feet trackers.
yes i have a question. it seems i can get into vrchat in desktop easily, but for some reason every time i try getting into vr, the game crashes imediateley , my friend is also having this issue, we have both been looking for any updates and even tried reinstalling but no luck. we both use index headsets and controllers, and it seems anyone with any different headset is not having these issues
Is anyone crashing on vrchat loading in?
yes
I'm unable to get into the game for some reason
same here
htc vive regular setup no full body
I can get in via oculus streams crashes in desktop mode (currently have vr getting replaced)
index for me and having the same issue
Only CTD on VR on startup 🤷 (Index) Desktop works fine, this is really weird lol
I don't really know where to talk about this but does anyone have any idea what can be done about people reuploading someone else's creation as public? i understand things like that can't be prevented but would like to know what can be done after the fact?
@woeful anvil DMCA takedown notice
servers are bugging again
@echo wadi I solved my issue by installing the non-beta version of SteamVR and updating my graphics card driver
seems like the latest beta is incompatible with VRChat for some strange reason
Unless you own the creation, there's a good chance nothing can/will be done. I don't hear much about them solving issues like that
Yep it's SteamVR's beta. Works normally
also crashing on index startup
If you're on steamvr beta, opt out
^
yeah opting out fixed. ty!
well tupper did say sometime today was gonna be maintenance on steam so things might get a little wonky
^
And i got forced logged out
that makes no sense
I know
I dunno whatsngoing on. Says vrchat is notnresponding cannot log in when im already in
is anyone getting this really slow speed at all tonight? ive had a few friends of mine (6 in total) all tell me that avatars and worlds are taking far longer to load it took me 4 minutes to load the box (i was swapping instances so this should have loaded practically instantly) please let this issue be known cause im not sure whats causing this issue but this should be resolved cause this is frustrating at best
Yes

imagine being named Tupper and your parents don't love you because of your name even tho they given you that name
@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
"the gateway drug". They're saying it'll give you that sweet sweet taste that makes you come back for index in no time
And regret the day you bought a quest. XD
yep
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
Except with "fixed foveal" rendering. So idk about epic. Better than rift cv1 and vive probably, but idk about others
Yea, it's definitely going to contend with all the still available gen1 stuff.
Even htc is selling gen 1 refurbs now lol
Cosmos tripped out the door at launch with its tracking.
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..."
wmr looking like the guy rubbing his hands together menacingly
all according to plan
Mrtv made a video comparing it to rift S and wmr tracking. It was really bad
Cosmos walked in to a wall and when people saw it they shot it with a shotgun for good measure
I saw that vid, the tracking looked horrible.
its okay, it gives more points for wmr for those naysayers 😲
All that fancy marketing must make them look pretty silly right now.
So why did they use such a weird tracking method? Was it to save on sensors?
Lenovo is up there like "dude wtf are you doing?"
can you imagine first time vr users buying the cosmos 
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?!
maybe they actually did get people who never used vr to test it
They probably got blind ppl to test it
That would be the only explanation, or they wanted a piece of the pie in the market before rift S took the whole plate.
the mall kiosk phone vr people
Lenovo really pulled it off with their inside out tracking.
It's just so... Ahh.
The tracking software could probably be fixed, but the rest of it has issues
Slight hiccups but miles better than it's predecessor.
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
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.
I only got it because it was the cheapest at the time of purchase 😂
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
Sweet spot is fantastic on s.
Mhmm. I liked it
I barely have to adjust my headset during use.
i feel like i'm putting the rift s on wrong but im too lazy to fix it
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
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
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.
I bet the tracking works great on an i9-10900x or ryzen 3990WX though
Yea, that can happen with isochronous transfers (audio being one) on a USB connection that's being overloaded
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.
It wouldn't matter if it's a single host controller though
No I mean dual it through and through, not just the cable.
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
Trust me Oculus app nags...alot.
Especially about the sensors.
It used to but it stopped for a while now.
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?
anyone here have a workaround for

no vpn
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.
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?
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
awh

The ping for vrchat has become really shit all of a sudden. Its been fine all da. But now its like im gonna 600ping u, dc and log u out and be a masive dick. Its so annoying
anyone having the steam vr 1.9.1 version crashing vrchat?
i went back to 1.8.20 and it works again.
God these servers are pissing me off i dont wanna constantly input my vrchat password Ever damn second. Is there something with the servers Cas its definatly not my damn end as everything is completely fine for other stuff and been fine all day.
SteamVR version 1.9.1 is crashing unity games rn gotta wait until it get's patched before using the beta branch again
@floral quiver if your ip changes it'll also ask for user&pass
I login via Steam so no need to input anything for me and the website keeps me logged in for a good while
hi
Good day
i am trying to join a server but its loading then instead of going to that server i come back to the hub
this may be the wrong channel to ask
Restart game / clear cache
ok
What's wrong with it?
Are you holding V?
maybe you need a new mic
Does this device work outside of VRChat?
...what device?
Their microphone
Oh...they said this so I didn't see it as the same topic.
does anybody have avatars that have vr headsets on them?
What if your avatar is a VR headset wearing human skin and bones
uh
What if each of your bones are actively wearing a VR headset made out of skin
ok buddy
thats it im calling the cops
u don't deserve help

I need help launching vrchat
Install it in Steam, run it in Steam. Done.
No it won’t let me launch vrchat
do you meet the minimum requirements?
Yes
what comes up when you try to launch it
It can run without vr but it won’t let me run in vr
what are your specs
Give us your specs please?
do you have steamvr?
I have an error file
send it
Might be handy is you say where it stops
Does it give an error, if so say that error, does it give just a blackscreen?
We cant see what your seeing so give detail when you need help
^
I’m going to send the error file
narrows it down
If I e-mailed VRChat about something and they are asking for evidence, Should I not reply if I feel like what I have isn't evidence or enough or if i feel it might cause more problems?
@pale timber i sent it
How is giving more proof going to escalate the issue?

If anything you'll be doing support a favor by narrowing down the issue.
@umbral reef i sent it to you aswell
@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.
Even if its irrelevent to the case, you sending that extra evidence over wont harm.
@hexed iris Do you have remote workspaces like Citrix or something installed?
Citrix?
Also do you use any other virus scanner then windows defender?
If you dont know what it is just ignore it
No
there's something wrong with your mono.dll
verify the integrity of game files
says access violation
Did that already
reinstall
Did that too
And after you done those actions you rebooted your pc?
What actions?
That rin just asked above the updating and reinstalling
I have not
Then do that
Do I have to
Not playing in VR works fine it’s just running it on vr crashes
I hope it works
My computer didn’t restart properly so I shut down and turn it back on
there's something wrong with the file
delete mono.dll and verify integrity of game files
I haven’t tested what @umbral reef told me
@umbral reef nope it didn’t work
@pale timber still didn’t work
Yes, but only on Quest compatible worlds
I would not recommend the Quest for VRChat at all
Oh now it works
I would still not recommend it, not for VRChat at least
why?
it's limited in terms of what PC content can do
still isnt bad
going from PC to Quest is propably hard.
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
or better
are you getting quest just for vrc?
you're also on the mercy of content creators to have worlds and avatars on PC
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.
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.
I would still, not recommend it.
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
well then that’s when quest users mostly make quest friends and vice versa
Yeah I honestly just treat the platforms as separate at this point
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
Not only that, but you may also run into the problem where people are using Quest supported avatars but they're 
So you'd have to manually show the avatar, which in turn means your performance might be pretty bad
same way for pc too though doesnt really change much
Except the Quest is way, WAY less powerful than a PC
ofc.
depending on your pc
And yes, I know a lot of PC avatars are
because people be like that
Also, with quest link.
we have people that suffer when one
avatar is shown and others that dont suffer
And then we have me who is always suffering
has definitely come around to the idea of quest since considering quest only worlds
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
I'm not sure I could really agree to that.
playerbases are whatever you just gotta get the one friend group and then whatever, if you can find one i suppose but, i dunno
It's hard to gauge the new player experience after being in the game for so long
:[
PSVR would be the most watered down version without a doubt
with probably no user created stuff
Yup
No user created stuff = not vrchat imo
Considering Sony's rather strict stance towards user generated content in other games I would imagine it being the same for VRChat
If you can't make any stuff then you can't use user created stuff lmao @wild stag
i just consider other things like, would playstation allow something that has uh.. copyrighted stuff, i suppose, im kinda dumb i apologise
That's not how that works if you're dealing with making content for a platform for another company.
a PSVR version would probably just have to be an entirely new game lol
so yeah, not vrchat for sure
Sony would look at VRChat and be like WOOOOAH you can't just upload whatever you want
#BringBackPlaystationHome
vrchat on the psvr would just be playstation home but in vr
so make pshome vr 
💤 yeah i think i'll stick to PCVR lol
me too
gimme labo vrchat
With ducktape
it doesnt work
a whole new way to play vrchat then, good for marketting 
if you look down the headset falls off your face
Never even heard of labo tbh
do you like cardboard?
So not a real headset got it
it has a real headset
it is, it’s nintendo’s vr
its not entirely made of cardboard
I feel any VR headset with any cardboard whatsoever isnt a good idea
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
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
More power to em I guess
Is it bad that I own a Switch and have basically no idea about Labo 
Probably not if you already have a headset
labo is optional
u can already see the pixels in the switch screen without putting ur face up to it
I have my Switch since launch
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
wait what do you mean
that sounds like two opposite views
vr systems always come with headsets
The Quest is perfectly fine for other games tho
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
You can have a PC capable of playing PC games but have it be not good enough to actually play VR well
people play vrchat with vr headsets because thats what it was meant for
idk my pc isn’t high end and i get 90 frames in vr
Most of the people playing VRchat are desktop
Atleast last time we got the stats on it
Not very surprising
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
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.
why not just use a rift if you’re going to use a pc with it anyways though,,
it’s the same price
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.
Starting from nothing I would think a bare bones PCVR would be 1000ish but thats a massive guesstimation
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.
~1000 for pc and vr. between 500-600 on pc and then maybe 200-300ish on the headset
What headset is 200-300?
wmr
WMR
and you do notice the price
The Rift S costs 449€
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?
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
technically theyre both inside out but the rift cv1 also has cameras that do the tracking
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
I'm too used to the outside in as well as FBT being impossible with inside out. I did forget about the Pimax though
Vive Trackers are still inside out tracking 😉
What makes you say that?
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
the rift cv1 has cameras that see the controllers
the controllers send IR light which is tracked by the cameras
So PSVR is also outside in, as the PSEye camera is what does the actual tracking.
Alright thanks for the explanations for that, for the rift the room needs to be lit right? No dark play lol
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.
for rift s yes but I think the old rift can be used with no light
I'm just glad the old Vive is good enough imo to not want an upgrade
Ride it till it dies
I wonder how the old Rift works without light. Does it have an IR array to flood the room with light?
yeah the headset and controllers send out IR things that are tracked by the (external) cameras
and my friend always turns down the light because apparently he gets better tracking when its dark
@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.
1000$ for Index and another 500ish for a gpu upgrade to run it properly :c
Gonna be an expensive day when I splurge
What gpu r getting?
2080 super or equivalent I'm hoping.
Wait that's nearly 800. ouch
@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
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.
i just noticed that the htc vive vr is 400 dollars
atleast for the "Certified Pre-Owned" vr system
should i get that instead?
If you're getting a Vive, get a cheap one second hand. They're discontinued now.
couldnt find a cheap one
ebay
I can easily find a used vive for about 250
A used Vive is still about $500 cad here 
Ebay isnt like amazon where you quickly buy something... you have to look for a good offer. They come and go...
still couldnt find one
if you look again tomorrow you migh find one
i might as well buy one from the vive store
@wild stag Where are you?
what do you mean?
In which country do you reside?
USA
I'm really surprised there's nothing then.
i could find a cheap one
if i was really dedicated just to find a vr system less than 400 dollars
There's a bunch for a bit below $300.
ehhhhhh
👏 'd
But for $400 you may as well get the Rift S if you don't intend to get FBT going forward.
full body tracking?
Yeah
Yes
Kicking people, moving your legs, laying down (and floating in the air)
Dancing
yes
erp

yes

My pictures folder is now 1/3 of a gigabyte tf
basically just another level of immersion, and it costs just as much 😂
yo paci, you gonna need a storage solution for all them photos
maybe make a discord server for just you to keep em
i have 1.5 TB left of space
its probably your "homework" folder
i thought that said snorted
lmao
snort the memories directly
snort the powder that looks like sugar
"How many pictures do you have?"
Paci: yes
actually only 213
.-.
But yeah all sorted
how do you sort that many pictures???
dedication
Yes
I take more and more
