Play the game. Get approved. \o/

ok

#

gotcha, thanks.

Any way to track when the availability to upload to Community Labs is? I forgot the date I first published a world and the message telling me I can only upload once a week doesn't even tell me how long to wait. 🤔

Hello

autumn finch
#

does anyone have the baby yoda avatar? i want to create an army of baby yodas but i dont have the avatar

mighty root
#

I want baby yoda avatar!

summer sage
#

I want baby deathmaul avatars

swift cradle
#

I seen a baby Yoda avatar

broken plover
#

why does everyone want a baby yoda avatar? Ik hes cute but come on... be original. Use your own avatar...

autumn finch
#

i have no idea of how to make an avatar\

#

and i need to create my cult/army of babies

swift cradle
#

Any1 know how to fix vr chat mic teamspeak working vr chat not

meager solstice
#

@broken plover the idea of “being original” is kinda a dumb thought process considering most models aren’t original in any sense. So even if u upload a model it can still be considered not original

faint skiff
#

Original in the sense of "not using the exact same avatar that everyone else wants to use right now"

meager solstice
#

I mean in terms of that I think baby yoda would be the least of the worries

#

Considering wolf boys and e-girl models

pseudo basalt
#

anyone know where i can get the baby yoda avatar

glad bolt
#

I think that's the plight of meme avatars. Everyone wants to be in the in-crowd for that moment that's interested in it.

faint skiff
#

Oh god, upgrading to 2018 and it's recrunching EVERY texture in the entire project. There's like 700,000 files in the project, many are textures. This may take a while.

glad bolt
#

Yikes, you might wanna go get some food in the meantime.

wild cape
#

Hm... I should probably switch to 2018 soon but Im too lazy

pseudo basalt
#

That's a big project

glad bolt
#

Thankfully my first world was small, so there's not much to upgrade.

pseudo basalt
#

I know some people say they have one avatar per project and that seems pretty dumb, but a project THAT big is also not a good idea

glad bolt
#

Avatars on the other hand...

faint skiff
#

@pseudo basalt It's a world rather than avatars. I can't imagine how an avatar project would end up that large, lol.

#

And yeah, it's around 20GB in size.

pseudo basalt
#

Makes sense

#

On the other hand it recrunches them all in one go

#

So you can leave it alone while it does it's thing, unlike uploading avatars

faint skiff
#

Yeah. Shame you can't batch that. Maybe you can macro it? lol

broken plover
#

my project is only ~5GB

faint skiff

I'll make a script for it eventually

#

The other one had his carrier though, the people asking don't know how to upload models lol

And having 1000 people upload 1000 copies of an avatar is rather wasteful

Movies though

broken plover

why did I read bases as bees

rigid crescent
#

Gotta have....at least a few hundred.

Reminds me of the latest update to the Freddy Mercury avatar where he takes MDMA and gets attacked by bees.

Why cant i log in?

#

okay buddy

copper spear
#

On the website its literally like "this username is taken"

broken plover
#

then change the name you want

finite silo
#

no the website is bugged

broken plover
#

it literally says its taken. Thats why you cant use that name

finite silo
#

every single combo of letters or numbers you try is taken

#

i tried "5478fhsjshuji" and it didnt work

broken plover
#

for me it works

finite silo
#

i tried over 13 different combos of letter spam, on two different browsers

#

also had a friend of mine try to do it as well, same result

Sit through all the hobbit/Lotr movies in VR in one sitting to get isekaid

#

Does that mean I get a girlfriend that will unconditionally love me

faint skiff
#

Lies, they don't exist

pseudo basalt
#

And a few more of her friends that are all different stereotypes

snow wadi
#

Only if you constantly offer them popcorn.

#

Or buy one for her and not for yourself to show how much you care.

#

And then halfway through the movie you cry about it.

pseudo basalt
#

Is one of them a boy that you find out in a later episode

broken plover
#

no you dont offer her you feed her

snow wadi
#

No need, dinner after the movie.

broken plover
#

dinner while watching the movie

snow wadi
#

Depends on the cinema.

pseudo basalt
#

I thought we're talking about vr

#

or is it a vrdinner with vrfood

#

in a vrcinema and hangout map

snow wadi
#

Think of this all in VR.

broken plover
#

youre having a virtual dinner while watching a virtual movie

pseudo basalt
#

but how can I be a cute anime girl then

snow wadi
#

And at the end of the whole shebang, you lean into her slowly towards her face and whisper "None of this was real"

broken plover
#

and you open your menu and click go home

snow wadi
#

XD

pseudo basalt
#

You look at her and she clicks at you and asks you for the way and you wake up in cold sweat

snow wadi
#

That would be a real nightmare.

broken plover
#

and then in the loading screen you look at your chat, laugh and read all the donations and stuff

#

and then days later you see that clip in a vrchat funny moments clip compilation

pseudo basalt
#

"Am I dreaming? Someone clip this!"

hollow falcon
#

Just like the simulations

twin fractal
#

Okay, this is a "VRChat funny moments" moment

chrome badger
#

Anyone have an idea of why switching ingame to the steam overlay, and going back into the game, causes the game to lag or perform worse in vr mode? vrcThinking

snow wadi
#

Bring it up and close it again.

chrome badger
#

That dsnt fix it for me :/

snow wadi
#

If that's the case then try restarting VRC.

faint skiff
#

It's a bug in SteamVR

#

Restarting VRC won't fix it

chrome badger
#

Yeah.. Restarting VRC fixes it, but its annoying lol thats why i ask

#

if i want to look at discord or something inside vr, everytime i want to check something this bug will show up again

faint skiff
#

Hmm, normally it doesn't fix it. You're lucky then, but the other thing you can try is changing the supersampling amount in Advanced OpenVR Settings.

#

If you drop it below 100 then back up, that sometimes fixes it.

snow wadi
#

It's a case to case basis, but also a known issue.

faint skiff
#

But yeah I get it a lot and it's quite annoying.

chrome badger
#

Hmm so its not a random issue i got then, pretty much everyone have the same issue? lol

faint skiff
#

Using OVRToolkit instead can help avoid the issue.

snow wadi
#

For me I bring up the Oculus menu once and it's sorted.

faint skiff
#

Why would you be using SteamVR on Oculus anyway?

chrome badger
#

is it known what causes it tho? I ddnt have this issue some time agoo

#

i think it start with recent steamvr updates

snow wadi
#

Oof you wanna know why?

faint skiff
#

@chrome badger Not sure. I do a lot of work in Unity while still in VR so I tend to trigger it then.

snow wadi
#

Oculus VRChat has an audio / visual desync.

chrome badger
#

I dont have oculus tho 🤔

snow wadi
#

When I talk it takes a second for it to show visually, this doesn't happen when using Steam VRChat.

faint skiff
#

Weird

snow wadi
#

@modern sand BBkiss

faint skiff
#

@chrome badger But yeah, I either avoid doing to desktop view, or use OVRT to do it.

chrome badger
#

Hmm.. So pretty much, tl;dr, almost everyone have the issue. Only "fixes" is changing some options like the scaling or messing arround "hoping" that it goes away, or not using the overlay at all xD

faint skiff
#

Yeah. Dropping scaling down fixes it, but you still get stuck at a lower rate. It's almost like it's rendering two copies or something and now it's struggling.

chrome badger
#

Do you know by chance if maybe using this vr overlays things most streamers use, allow you to see stuff without having this bug? Like maybe bringing discord on your hand

#

since ur not bringing the steam overlay

#

🤔

fringe sparrow
#

Hello

broken plover
#

thats ovrtoolkit

chrome badger
#

Does that allow u to see the screens and interact with them, without having to open the steamvr overlay, and hopefully not bringing this bug? 🤔

broken plover
#

Yes it brings up a window that you can put on your hand and you can use your other controller to click stuff on it. You can also bring up a keyboard to type stuff

chrome badger
#

🤔 hmm ill give that a try

slate verge
#

hey wait a minute did the vrc team got a little bit bigger, there are a few names there i don't recognize

broken plover

#

The VRC Team uses another program for communication usually. So maybe just some finally using discord as well? AkkoShrug

broken plover
#

do they use desktop chat? laughcry

faint skiff
#

Probably Slack or Teams, god help them if they're also stuck on Teams.

#

"It's like Skype, but shit"

broken plover
#

get it? because vr chat, and desktop chat

snow wadi
#

They're gathering up for what I think is preparation for 2018.

#

They might be having a discussion about it.

It may also be kareoke night...

Oculus client had a lot of issues that the SteamVR client didn't, last I remember. The convenience wasn't worth the inconvenience.

snow wadi
#

I think I couldn't have put it better myself.

#

The only plus I get out of the oculus app is the ability to pin my apps as an overlay and placing and resizing however I wish.

#

Oh and the oculus wrist watch, that's pretty sick.

faint skiff
#

Hmm, people told me they got much worse FPS using Oculus and Steam stacked. Maybe they were changing the SS from 100.

ruby needle
#

Im using oculus client since day one

#

And "a lot of issues" would be new to me.

#

It had a little bit of high calibration issues at the start, where you would need to make sure to be in the right position during startup as it'll keep that (which is solved)

#

Else works perfectly.

crystal fossil
#

The client had delayed updates for a bit in the beginning and the IK was literally different in Oculus than Steam for one very important thing. Certain things that were patched months prior were in the Oculus client when I used it too. So I didn't use Oculus for very long at all. Maybe it's all sorted now, but there were some very different things going on in Oculus for whatever reason and I would've rather just kept using SteamVR.

ruby needle
#

I always got my updates quickly.

#

and i was online when they just released

crystal fossil
#

No, I mean VRC updated it behind SteamVR by quiet a bit.

snow wadi
#

The issue it STILL has is the delay between audio and visemes.

crystal fossil
#

It was like a version behind all the time or something.

snow wadi
#

And it's quite noticeable.

crystal fossil
#

It was bad.

ruby needle
#

i've been using it since day one of native release and didnt remember any delays cirThink

snow wadi
crystal fossil
#

xD

snow wadi
#

Oh lol xD

ruby needle
#

When an update was announced i've closed the game and could directly update it in home.

snow wadi
#

Oh it was there you can even ask ruuubick about it, I streamed it to him and he saw it live.

ruby needle
#

Only the initial release was a bit delayed.

#

but hey, my memory aint the greatest for not that important informations cirBaka

lol pfft

But aside form that, hawwo paulie ❤️

does anyone know how to convert an vmd file into mmd

#

l realy need help :c

isnt that a motion file

#

an mmd animation basically

#

cats plugin installs mmd tools for blender, only 2.79 version tho, i think
if you import an mmd model through mmd tools and not through cats, youd be able to import an vmd onto it

tru dat

exotic pulsar

someone let me clone one, but it has like 50 dynbones on it and is rated Very Poor, so I don't use it

Just gotta do it yourself, find a decent model, fire up blender & unity and have at it.

exotic pulsar
#

That's what I'm doing, actually

shell zinc
#

just make an avatar with a muscley body and a piece of bread for the head

exotic pulsar
#

except i'm using fusion 360 to create the model, and blender for all the rigging and texture stuff

since I learned f360 to make things on my printer, might as well use those skills in making cool thing in VRC

Is there any vrchat memes before knuckles?

none as popular

custom avatar maybe

pseudo bobcat
#

i feel custom avatar is even older than that

#

possibly just didn't become "big" until after knuckles but it existed before it

cold talon
#

Custom avatar was since the beginning of time

#

But it to got popular with the YouTube influx

frosty veldt
#

Yeah the whole custom avatar thing comes from when custom avatars were new/hard to do. Youd have a swarm of nikes go to people with a custom avatar asking how they did it

#

Def before knuckles

cold talon
#

I know it happend to a guy that had doom avatars in the old old hub, nikeis just forming a circle around him and asking how he did this, or that. Dunno if they were even meming at that point tbh, since they were legit questions on rapid fire LUL

broken plover
#

that time I looked for any anime 3D models and just uploaded them to have atleast something different (neptunia avatar if anyone wants to know)

Ah, I remember unedited neptuia models were pretty popular back in the day

lul

faint skiff
#

(has too much of a weird "in your own head" sound at the moment though)

rigid crescent
#

Definitely a prime target for RP, I showed some friends who do that and they thought it looked cool

faint skiff
#

I have around 200 audio sources in the world now and I'm still adding more (everything is area triggered so there's no issues with hitting the Unity audio concurrency limits). I find environmental sound design is something many people skip over but it's really important to actually being immersed.

rigid crescent
#

Yeah there's a Japanese event map I went to that plays nice nature sounds outside then when you go inside it's some traditional sounding music

faint skiff
#

Unity is lacking a lot of things you'd take for granted though, sound always has to come from a point, it can't come from an area, so you end up having to use dozens of sounds spread out over an area to simulate it instead (e.g. the waves on the beach here), there's wave/background water ambience generators all around the coast, like 25 or so so that you actually hear the waves from everywhere you'd expect.

#

One thing I can't get working though is global modified reverb that affects everyone, including players voices. I can get a single dummy instance running, but not get it working in such a way that it can be changed on the fly (e.g. slightly echo'y for the cave, distance reverb for the coastal mountains, etc). Hopefully I'll solve the enigma one day.

covert blade
#

Murder 3 has certain parts of the map with echo while it's normal everywhere else

#

Dunno if that's the same thing that you want but if so, Jar definitely knows how to do that

faint skiff
#

Sounds like it, I may poke him if he's not super busy.

That Tavern map is looking cool 👍

covert blade
#

@faint skiff Hmm so wait, making a "Sound area" would then require you to make a sound source that can reach very far and have triggers to turn it on / off?

#

Instead of having a simple box that you draw that plays audio.ogg when you're in it and doesn't when you're not?

faint skiff
#

Correct

covert blade
#

And that from a proper game engine

frosty veldt
#

Well there's 2D sound but that's 2D sound lol

#

I see

#

That and in vrc we can't do any scripting so we have to work with the most default of the default components

Unfortunately it's obvious when it's 2d as it doesn't rotate with your head.

#

Or rather it does

frosty veldt
#

If anything, IRL all sounds come from a point you just can't have an audio source for each cricket in the woods

covert blade
#

Works for general ambience but in your case that clutter of 3D sound makes it more believable as you would expect the sounds of the ocean to come from the direction of the ocean

#

Arma 3 does that

#

A lot of the ambience noise is actually 3D and comes from a certain random direction

#

But yeah @faint skiff really looking forward to that stuff. An actual soundscape of a lot of 3D sounds playing to create the ambience is a lot nicer than just ambience.ogg playing in a loop

desert stratus
#

isnt 3d audio resource intensive? how do you manage it?

faint skiff
#

Nah, adding effects is though.

covert blade
#

A map cluttered with triggers to turn 'em all on and off based on proximity

#

anyone wanna do vrchat

#

6872 people do

faint skiff

I spent an entire afternoon changing every single audio element to be trigger proximity based Sasha, lol. Bit tedious.

snow wadi
#

Oooh @faint skiff I need to show you something!

faint skiff
#

Mmm?

opal widget
#

Yo

frosty veldt
#

As long as the triggers arnt on the default layer it's all good

faint skiff
#

No, they have to be on something like the mirrorreflection layer to work (and not interfere with everything else).

frosty veldt
#

Exactly. There's so many worlds with default layer triggers and it's breaking my grounder components. It's so sad

torn vine
#

what's the best world in vrchat

frosty veldt
#

That's subjective. Different people like different things

torn vine
#

well obviously

indigo fern
#

Best world is obvious, sleep/chill world #73

torn vine
#

i don't get why people join those

indigo fern
#

To sleep and chill vrcThinking

frosty veldt
#

To sleep/chill lol

torn vine
#

like i keep hearing people flex for waking up shit tons of people

frosty veldt
#

If I want to chat I'm not gonna head to some adventure map

torn vine
#

just public sleep rooms

#

r flawed and like pointless

#

imo

indigo fern
#

Depends, I don't think light sleepers should go there

frosty veldt
#

Well sleeping in VR isn't a good idea regardless of the world

indigo fern
#

That too lmao

torn vine
#

tru

desert stratus
#

im a deep sleeper, only thing thats woken me up beforr that hasn't been persistent was a loud ass lightning strike

#

someome tried ear raping me with rap music and i woke up peacefully in Rest and Sleep #8362 or whatever

frosty veldt
#

I like chill worlds because they are usually relaxing and low impact. Doesn't mean I want thousands of em

indigo fern
#

Stronk even when unconscious 💪

desert stratus
#

like after a few min

indigo fern
#

I've slept in void clubs a couple times, just layed there while no one was talking to me and 😪

desert stratus
#

ive slept in the middle of karaoke parties lol

#

both irl and vrc

frosty veldt
#

Why are you guys so tired

slate verge
#

one time i caught solar sleeping in the streets

desert stratus
#

now thats a frustrating question

torn vine
#

yall some insomniacs

indigo fern
#

Not tired, but if I lay down with my eyes closed i can sleep anywhere

desert stratus
#

vrcTupper fuck if i know

#

And yeah lol people have taken too many pics of me sleeping to be comfortable

slate verge
#

i slept once in the black cat and the great pug once~

indigo fern
#

I'm not passing out or anything vrcBlush

frosty veldt
#

I guess it's just the problem with getting too comfortable

slate verge
#

that and asmr

torn vine
#

aight anybody here actually tried sleeping in a vr public room made for sleeping

desert stratus
#

me

slate verge
#

yes

frosty veldt
#

Nothing puts me to sleep faster than the soft sound of a chainsaw in my ear 👌

torn vine
#

y though

desert stratus
#

was good every time

#

cuz sometimes i dont want to sleep in my room >~>

vocal shard
#

So where are the active strip clubs in vr chat?

broken plover
#

when I'm tired and I put on a vrheadset I wake up again... thats annoying. I just cant get tired with a vr headset on

desert stratus
#

plus i can get right back to playing vrc as soon as i wake up

vocal shard
torn vine
#

isn't it really uncomfortable waking up after having a vr headset on 4 a long ass time?

frosty veldt
#

Is this how you guys get those thicc hours on steam?

slate verge
#

no

vocal shard
desert stratus
#

for diff people

slate verge
#

i can actually sleep with vr headset on just fine and wake up just fine

vocal shard
#

I need a lap dance

desert stratus
#

its unberable onlu whrn i wake up, and only if i sleep with my glasses off

#

the big comfort killer is headphones. Sleep on a travel pillow or wedged between two pillows so you dont compress your ear. dont sleep on your elbow as a replacement.

#

also dont sleep in fromt of anything bright for your screen, and be prepared for that sweet, sweet electric bill

frosty veldt
#

Yeah the headphones are what keep me from passing out probably. can't really get comfortable without being on my side

desert stratus
#

ive been stopping recently because im too young to pay the electric bill myself and my powersupply is not the most efficient

#

also, school.

torn vine
#

damn

frosty veldt
#

Again I still think it's best to just turn the stuff off since it's a massive waste. Or maybe have a program that shuts your computer off automatically at some point if you know you'll fall asleep

torn vine
#

yeah like have it on a timer

slate verge
#

@desert stratus understandable

broken plover
#

and then youll just wake up in the middle of the night and at that exact moment your pc turns off and youre just like: wot

frosty veldt
#

Back to bed!

torn vine
#

then you would just be rly tired and go back to sleep probs

desert stratus
#

i think a fun compromise for the people who like to sleep and wake up in vr is to just make the screen stop rendering stuff for a while. just change it to a relaxing blue or orange gradient so your power doesnt shit itself

broken plover
#

blue is not good for your eyes

desert stratus
#

back to vr once multiple buttons on your controllers are depressed

frosty veldt
#

If it's a solid color like that can't that burn onto the screen?

broken plover
#

I think only OLED screens burn through like that

desert stratus
#

good point. Animated background!

frosty veldt
#

Get that windows screen saver where it bounces around

broken plover
#

because when I got a hud shader for my avatar they said something about if you have a vive you should enable this thing or something to protect your screen

desert stratus
#

that and render at like 20% resolution, low framerate

#

or just turn the screen off

frosty veldt
#

Off is probably best

desert stratus
#

ill open a canny for this in 5 months

#

official vrc sleep mod

#

mode*

frosty veldt
#

Even if power is running the screen can turn off or whatever

broken plover
#

oled screens are off if its just black right?

#

or rather the pixels are off

frosty veldt
#

Those HUD shaders fuck me up I hate it when stuff follows my face

#

I have a Vive and yeah it's just black. Dunno about turning pixels off

broken plover
#

I heard somewhere that oled screens turn the black pixels off

desert stratus
#

honestly tho. even simple ones like the vrc health system damage cracks / gradient stresses me out

frosty veldt
#

Yeah I dunno why. Glad a lot of VR games use shit on the body like watches for info or whatever

torn vine
#

btw i'm thinking of getting the rift s anybody know if its actually good from experience ?

desert stratus
#

screenspace UI for vr* just feels bad in most cases

frosty veldt
#

I don't have rift s but isn't that the new one? I've heard the normal rift was better

desert stratus
#

i liked what that one magic game did, where 4 colored and stylized quadrantts represented different spells

#

"better" is debatable. so far ive heard really good things about the rift s tracking and none of the usb bandwidth bullshit with the old sensors, so i guess the only other downside would be the relatively small blindspot. the real rift S killer is going to be IPD if you're sensitive to IPD

torn vine
#

eugh thinking about what vr headset to get is stressing me out

zinc scaffold
#

IPD?

desert stratus
#

everything else is compromise imo. but for me personally id gladly trade in for a rift s if i wasnt already considering index

frosty veldt
#

I'm just always skeptical about the camera tracking as I'm used to lighthouses

broken plover
#

InterPupilarryDistance (distance between your eyes)

zinc scaffold
#

ahh okay

frosty veldt
#

How is the IPD on the rift s bad? Non adjustable?

desert stratus
#

most rift s owners say that its really good.

#

only software IPD, no physical IPD anymore

frosty veldt
#

Wtf

desert stratus
#

which is weird because quest has physical IPD adjust but whatever

#

its locked at like...62.5 or 65mm. forgot which exactly

zinc scaffold
#

It does

faint skiff
#

The IPD is fine as long as it fits your own eyes

torn vine
#

eugh i don't get any of this

frosty veldt
#

If its software then it won't automatically change if you smack the headset like the Vive though

desert stratus
#

some people say it doesnt matter, others feel like shit after 2 hours with an IPD thats like a mm off the mark

#

@torn vine how much money are you willing to spend on VR

#

or rather, how much can you spend

frosty veldt
#

I need to get a ruler or some shit i have no idea what my IPD is

desert stratus
#

thats a better question to answer

torn vine
#

ideally less then 1 rack

desert stratus
#

do you already have a VR-ready PC?

torn vine
#

well i think my pc can easily run it

#

i tried comparing specs and i THINK it would work

desert stratus
#

(if you have an i5-6400 and a gtx 1060 6gb at the least then youll be okay)

#

hmm. id say get index since index is exactly 1,000usd but if your specs are bit more minimum then a rift S would be the safer bet at 400usd

rigid crescent
#

If you wear glasses irl it's probably on your prescription, places like Walmart will check the ipd for free too

torn vine
#

wait wait

#

so why is the index at 1k

#

or is the rift s really bad

desert stratus
#

money money money best offering so far

umbral reef
#

The rift S is good
The index is stupidly good and high end

desert stratus
#

rift S is not bad at all, 300-400usd is actually like the normal price for most VR headsets (fits rift s, og rift+=vive, all wmr headsets)

#

but yeah, index costs that much because every bit of it is really high end. well, except for the controllers lmao

rigid crescent
#

Well they're high end tech. Just not quality lol

torn vine
#

i mean the graphics i assume on the rift s would be good and the fps would be steady so i don

desert stratus
#

whatt mic said

torn vine
#

't think i need to get anything for 1k

rigid crescent
#

Yeah the experience on the rift s is fine, anything more is just luxury

desert stratus
#

if its your first vr and you dont have a lot of money to throw around soon id especially reccommend rift S

torn vine
#

you make it sound like its for poor people

desert stratus
#

especially since it seems like youre 1% unsure about how prepared your hardware is

#

its really not lol

rigid crescent
#

Yeah check hardware first for sure

torn vine
#

still doubt i would need crazy specs to play some good games and enjoy them

rigid crescent
#

It's not lol it's like the difference between a luxury sports car and regular car. Nothing wrong with it, it's better.

#

You sound like you're trying to convince yourself not us lol I don't think anyone here is doubting the rift's quality.

polar jasper
#

No, you don't need crazy specs, but VR will take it toll on lower ends

rigid crescent
#

PC specs, yes.

#

You definitely wanna make sure you can run it

desert stratus
#

ehh, i think the rift S is still pretty step up over most other headsets except for i guess the samsung oddyssey. its more like the difference between the nicest car at your local dealer and a fucking M8 or some shit

#

and like i said, someone are doing better than me on a fucking FX, you can push VR surprisingly low

torn vine
#

my pc is a lenovo y700 it runs pretty much everything i play so i think ill be good but ill compare specs

rigid crescent
#

You won't have a bad time with the Rift S if that's what you're worried about

#

Unless your spec are too low.

desert stratus
#

quite the opposite. i just reccommend rift S immediately after index since its the next logical headset in my recommendation list. after all, there 100% isnt anything in between. yes. nothing at all.

rigid crescent
#

But running VR is nothing like running an traditional game even if it runs them normally at high settings.

desert stratus
#

0 0` give me a second

faint skiff
#

Try running two games (at the same time) at 3K each then report back 😉

rigid crescent
#

Yup exactly

desert stratus
#

okay you may have some funny funny times on a gtx 960m

zinc scaffold
#

Does anyone know what is good computer like pc or laptop that handle index

torn vine
#

wym @desert stratus

desert stratus
#

laptop is not 100% ideal for VR rigs but if you have a really good laptop it would be okay

vocal shard
#

it would be kinda cool to have a laptop that could do vr

desert stratus
#

for index specifically, a 2060 / equivalent or above and a strong latest-gen processor will serve you well

rigid crescent
#

Definitely don't ever get a gaming laptop unless you absolutely need to.

torn vine
#

eughs

desert stratus
#

do not cheap out on a processor because they matter for high frame rates, especially in VR. a ryzen 7 3700x would be fun to have

vocal shard
#

yeah, not into gaming laptops with rlly bad thermals

ruby burrow
#

I started playing VR on a GTX-960, it is doable.

desert stratus
#

@torn vine checked some quick benchmarks on it and its a significantly weak card, though it is paired with a *relatively**strong CPU. yous hould be fine on rift S

vocal shard
#

squishy same

torn vine
#

phew

ruby burrow
#

It's certainly not ideal, but is doable.

vocal shard
#

i think it kinda sucked tho personally.....

ruby burrow
#

Will depend on the game a bit.

rigid crescent
#

Like kids with dual custody parents and adults who move around a lot for work are really the only people who should own a gaming laptop otherwise you can build a PC and get a cheaper work laptop

vocal shard
#

haha nice

desert stratus
#

@zinc scaffold if you want to take advantage of higher framerates, though, 2070 is the absolute minimum, but id honestly reccommend going all the way up to a 2080ti at that point

#

and not even the 2080ti can push all VR games at max settings at 144hz so >u>

vocal shard
#

i got a thinkpad e495 coming soon, should be nice coz linux support

ruby burrow
#

Slightly higher end games like HL:Alyx definitely won't run well on the 960, and some flat to VR ports like Skyrim or No Mans Sky won't do well either.

vocal shard
#

cant wait for openhmd so i can finally nuke my windows drive

zinc scaffold
#

I have thinkpad laptop but it is shitty atm

ruby burrow
#

But the majority of native VR games will be plenty enjoyable still.

desert stratus
#

VRC never runs well on anything so dont worry about this game's performance

vocal shard
#

^^^

#

true dat

desert stratus
#

stuff like beat saber generally runs well on anything, though in my personal experience it has a lot of stuttering issues on worse hardware that seems to be CPU-bound (my system on i5-6400 x gtx 1060 6gb vs my dad's which is r5-2600x x rx 580, beat saber is actually fucking smooth on my dad's system)

ruby burrow
#

I have a 2070-Super now, and I average 60fps in most populated VRC worlds.

torn vine
#

@desert stratus when you said my pc would not be ideal do you mean it couldn't handle like a 60 fps on a vr game

ruby burrow
#

Hit 120 in calmer instances.

faint skiff
vocal shard
#

might be able to do a mini itx ryzen build just taking my current gpu and moving it over

faint skiff
#

Also still need to make it look more like a bar 😛

vocal shard
#

how does the ryzen 5 3600 do in vr in general, not just vrc?

desert stratus
#

what i mean is that youll likely be faking half of your frames all of the time in order to hit 90

vocal shard
#

coz nothin really does well in vrc

desert stratus
#

the 3600 comes off to me as a modern beast for most purposes

vocal shard
#

that's kinda what i figured too

ruby burrow
#

@torn vine Based on my own experience, you should probably average around 45fps (in reprojection mode) on most games, with some settings turned down.

torn vine
#

eugh i doubt i'm even gonna get any vr now

desert stratus
#

thats not bad though. i do that on my system. still looks good. great, even

rigid crescent
#

Why?

torn vine
#

like 45 fps on the lowest settings for every game

ruby burrow
#

Reprojection is when it drops the game down to 45 fps but then doubles it on the headsets end, so you still see 90.

rigid crescent
#

What? Lol it's not 45 regardless of settings

torn vine
#

i am so confused about everything

desert stratus
#

well its not "exactly" 45 fps. like squishy said, the idea is that in VR you cant really afford to go lower than 90 frames since at that point the experience is gonna go to shit, so insttead your PC will try to fake half of those 90 frames in a way that im not going to explain

rigid crescent
#

You're not comprehending what people are saying very well

ruby burrow
#

In VRC you'll get lower than 45, but it's also not an action game so is more bearable. I was still able to enjoy VR-Chat for a year before upgrading my PC.

rigid crescent
#

They said "some settings" and you ewuatr that to "I need to play everything at lowest settings"

vocal shard
#

though if u do that you can prob get a good framerate

ruby burrow
#

I was hooked on VR for 6 months straight, basically not playing anything else, despite the non ideal specs.

desert stratus
#

isnt reprojection CPU heavy? since your CPU is stronger than mine it should fare better doing that

rigid crescent
#

You've literally been trying to convince yourself not to get VR this whole conversation lol

desert stratus
#

so you should be good with VR

torn vine
#

I've known people who love vrc enough they dealt with sub-45 for years.

i wanted to upgrade to i5-6700k at one point since thats cheap and my mobo supports it but i can like

rigid crescent
#

Like one kid I knew played at like 20 til I sent him my old graphics card. He was like 16 so he definitely wasn't upgrading any time soon lol

#

20 with massive lag joining on rooms and difficulty turning since it was locked to fps

He got as a gift back before VRC so he was one of the master race already in it lol

desert stratus
#

my friend has WMR now, used to pipe VRC to his phone on his 950 and an i5-4xxx something

rigid crescent

Yeah occasional low fps isn't really too bad in vrc as long as it's just a chill world

@raven mango There isn't a max, but ideally <70000

The iGPU wont do for VR

faint skiff

@raven mango Any higher and you get a bad rating.

torn vine
#

lenovo 80nv

faint skiff
#

@ruby needle He's not using the iGPU otherwise it would never have reached that high in the graph in the first place.

#

GeForce GTX 960M 2GB, yeah, that's not going to cut the mustard unfortunately.

torn vine
#

eugh

ruby needle
#

it might be useable for some smaller things, but VRChat will crush it, the 2GB VRAM will be a huge issue.

#

Not to mention that you allready had throttling issues just from the steam VR test cirLaugh

faint skiff
#

Job Sim and Pavlov MAYBE, but it will be rough.

@ruby needle That could have been it running out of VRAM.

man it tilts me our community calendar sucks compared to the JP calendar

#

Every single one of these are ACTIVE events that are held regularly, meanwhile the English one is like "Cancelled/Hiatus/Cancelled/Hiatus" because whoever runs it just lets people put events on it that they have no plans on actually being there to run

#

and it's like the same 2 or 3 events for the ones that are active on it

inner cape

run your own

It's not well maintained Mic

We have wanted to do our own, but we also want better event info in the app, so making it our self will not help in getting that D:

I've got something I'm working on now but it's more aimed at RP stuff

inner cape
#

dont matter, just dew it

rigid crescent
#

I mean I'm gonna do it lol just takes time to setup and write for

#

Got the idea from another JP event thing

polar jasper
#

I am working on a new layout for vrchatevents.com and we're looking at getting a better calendar system, but just ideas at the moment

rigid crescent
#

Well the way these are handled, I think, is that the event runner actually has to get in contact with the calendar person and submit the event every time

#

Events well into 2020 because they're on some automated schedule

#

If your event isnt active it does'nt belong on the calendar

polar jasper
#

Yup, that's why I am working on a new one. More open, allow single events, still approval process to make sure we got quality events and not just spam

rigid crescent
#

and if you can't be assed to submit a weekly application, it doesn't belong on the calendar

#

Like people don't even get active on social media for their own events, meanwhile I'm seeing tons of shared posts with posters and whatnot for JP events all over the place

polar jasper
#

It's a bit different culture than the western side

rigid crescent
#

Yeah culture definitely does play a part, but only so much

polar jasper

Like more "normal" JP users tend to play VRC than the...well, whatever we have, myself included, on the western front

#

Not that there's anything wrong with us as a whole or anything, a lot of it is definitely cultural differences

#

but even Fantasy Shukaijou has a rotating calendar in it

umbral reef
#

Well it's more that the western community isn't a community but more just loads of smaller communities without a connection

rigid crescent
#

Oh true

#

I see a ton of the same faces at the JP events

polar jasper
#

It's the same for western events too

#

the Community Meetup has a lot of new people every week, but mostly the same ones

rigid crescent
#

Yeah the few I've managed to catch have a lot of the same faces but sometimes its just the same few people over and over

#

besides that one, i havent been to that

umbral reef
#

And the fact that if you asked any user new or old if vrc had public events, what events and how to join them that almost no one at all could tell you that

rigid crescent
#

But the tea-house event I went to had staff from a few of of the Host Club events I've been to as well as some other "personalities"

#

Part of the issue is that a lot of the more influential users in our communities are streamers which isnt an issue on its own, but many of them are in it for profit, attention, etc. There's no incentive to do things like this so they just have club maps for hanging out with their friends, which again is fine, but it doesn't help build community at all

#

I'm super envious of what I've seen the JP community build after going to a lot of events and seeing the cool stuff they do with zero incentive at all

polar jasper
#

The bigger western streamers don't really take part in public #events . I've seen a few join now, but they don't really stream then as they just want to enjoy the content.

umbral reef
#

But like for real
How would people even know how to join these events

rigid crescent
#

Yeah I'm not blaming streamers as a whole, it's not like it's their duty to actually do this kind of thing, it's just that for a lot of people they're the more "influential" faces.

#

Yeah I can't get the posters off my feed for a minute as far as the JP Events go, meanwhile this is the ONLY place I hear about the community meetup lol

polar jasper
#

@umbral reef In world advertising. But VRChat also lack anything event related really.

rigid crescent
#

THese are posters I've found from various JP events, they all advertise other events

polar jasper
#

Empty album 😛

rigid crescent
#

derp

umbral reef
#

On phone rn so can't get the examples of backwards working we got rn for it

#

So gimme a minute

rigid crescent
#

there we go

frosty veldt
#

I remember someone talked about having spots in world that could place ads by other people automatically. While the idea is abusable as all hell it's a neat idea

rigid crescent
#

All these are posters from various worlds where events are held

umbral reef
#

Would only really work in a fair and honest world.. what Vrchat isnt at all

rigid crescent
#

for other events though

#

it's only uploading some, RIP

frosty veldt
#

I remember when I was a kid you could pay to put up ads on the Roblox website for your world lol

umbral reef
#

But right now for western events we have:
#events - That explains jack shit on how to join unless you look at the pinned msgs and do even more extra steps.
The VRC events website thats just #events but on a website where there is literally no way at all to find out how to join the events.
Ingame what most people wont see or even realize.
Person to Person..

polar jasper
#

This is why I want to rework the vrchatevents website. Let you add a poster there, then provide a prefab for Unity to use in game

rigid crescent
#

I mean it doesn't really have to be a huge built-in thing, map owners shouldn't really have much issue adding a single poster to the world lol

#

Owlboy has like 10 at the door of the pug that no one looks at

umbral reef
#

Well why would we plenty are adds and not announcements for things

#

Also like it took me ages to learn those where just made up things

polar jasper
#

made up things?

rigid crescent
#

Some have dedicated discords, twitters, hashtags, etc. Not expecting people to go that far obviously, but it definitely shows how far back we are in terms of an actual community

frosty veldt
#

There's a lot of lack of information on everything vrchat though. Best way to learn advanced avatar creation is to ask people in game imo since there's no documentation on a lot of stuff

umbral reef
#

Communication has been my biggest complaint for ages

#

It took them so stupidly long to make a proper support page that was not wheeze worthy

rigid crescent
#

Things like themed meetups (cybernetic avatars, certain creator's avatars from booth, mosnter girls, etc) are definitely more of a cultural thing since they have a different view of models than most westerners do, but there's a lot of "Well why isn't this a thing..." events I've been to as well

#

oh and host clubs, that'd definitely never fly lol

umbral reef
#

So long that by the time they made there version i know people (aka me) who made there own versions before that

rigid crescent
#

there's a decent amount of those, a new host club event is opening up pretty soon to i think. they're liek the JP equivalent of a Club Map lol

frosty veldt
#

Communication from an avatar creation stand point will never happen imo as most of the advanced stuff is a workaround at some point

rigid crescent
#

It's really the basics

#

Oh by the way, there's a Japanese tutorial world that teaches you how to play the game

#

Meanwhile ours is "durhhhh step on da blox XD"

inner cape
#

yoink, my idea now, thanks mic

rigid crescent
#

it explains the camera, the safety system, everything

umbral reef
#

And for the complex things with avatars and worlds. Often the team has to learn those things themself when they want to. The basics tho- They legit halfass those as mic said

polar jasper
#

They sort of need it though, no JP translation in game to explain it

frosty veldt
#

The original tutorial is just outdated now

umbral reef
#

People legit can get stuck in the tutorial worlds btw :'o

rigid crescent
#

I mean there's nothing english ingame that explains the stuff either

covert blade
#

The original tutorial barely explains anything...

rigid crescent
#

it's all on the website no one reads

polar jasper
#

Oh, actually wonder if the tutorial world will work in 2018 😐

umbral reef
#

Laughs in particle limiter system

indigo fern
#

discord link on a loading screen tanabae

rigid crescent
#

Everything you could wanna know about the game as a new player is explained in the community made JP tutorial world

vocal shard
#

Howdy

polar jasper
#

No, there isn't Mic, but it's easier for one that understand english to understand it than those that don't

rigid crescent
#

New players don't even know what the particle limiter is lol

umbral reef
#

Panic mode is also something peopel dont know about

rigid crescent
#

hell i barely know what it is~

#

ugh i hate panic mode

frosty veldt
#

Particle limiter is off by default. Don't you have to edit the files for it?

umbral reef
#

They just trigger it but have no idea what it is

#

JUP scion

rigid crescent
#

The issue is that you honestly need a certain amount of "clout" to get anything actually done lol

polar jasper
#

That and it also resets your custom set up

indigo fern
#

you mean, i like your custom safety settings, mind if i just change em, mode

frosty veldt
#

Most new users complain about the dynamic bone limiter since it's on by default

umbral reef
#

You know- bricks all realistic ways of crashing with particles and sadly some animations but never got properly added into the game

#

Because removing it is better then a tradeoff c:

indigo fern
#

and we still need to edit a config file to tweak those settings

frosty veldt
#

Honestly I feel I should remove my particle limiter. I've got particles disabled for non friends anyways

polar jasper
#

I use a config that has a limit, but it's so high that it won't disrupt any non malicious one. At least reduce it

umbral reef
#

Particle limiter is leaps better the safety system version

#

All you need is to have it on phaxe...
It prevents some stuff i cba to explain what means that if they want to crash you- they have to crash everyone

#

including themself everyone

frosty veldt
#

Ah i guess enable particles for everyone but have the limiter to stop crashers makes sense

indigo fern
#

the default for the particle limiter is pretty reasonable too, the dynabone one isnt, but 1/2 🤷‍♂️

frosty veldt
#

I just use the dynamic bone limiter as a "oh shit my frames" button

indigo fern
#

its kinda like a mini panic mode for lag at defaults

frosty veldt
#

You can usually gauge the amount of dynamic bones by how many anime girls are on your screen

indigo fern
#

the long haired ones, which is most of the usual suspects

merry minnow
#

I keep mine at no dynamics on purpose.

rigid crescent
#

i think ive got like...50

covert blade
#

I have it at zero too but dont use it until my frames start dropping

#

Unfortunately there is no way for the game to dynamically enable settings as needed

frosty veldt
#

No Dynamics can make things look so bad so I give people the medium rating level of bones so people that know what their doing can still show em off

covert blade
#

I also do what probs no one else here does and have safety off a lot of the time

#

Hmm, that reminds me of something, @polar jasper ?

indigo fern
#

i have mine on, but i allow everything anyway

covert blade
#

What kind of rig do you have?

#

Because no matter the settings Community Meetup lags so badly for me ;_;

frosty veldt
#

I read rig as in armature smh

covert blade
#

Lol

polar jasper
#

lol

indigo fern
#

sm head

merry minnow
#

I frequent lobbies of 40+ fullbody users so i have a somewhat need for strict safety settings

covert blade
#

I mean, I can live with low frames, but if it is so low that I cant even click on people anymore than that's a bit bad

frosty veldt
#

Yeah I'm all for the community meetup but I'm pretty sure if I show up I'll just die

covert blade
#

Does that actually make a difference?

#

Isn't it all networked anyways?

frosty veldt
#

Full body probably makes a difference albeit very small in relation to the requirements of the actual avatar. If anything I doubt it's more CPU, it's probably more network usage

merry minnow
#

That and i also have wireless .

rigid crescent
#

oof wireless will definitely kill you

polar jasper
#

Intel i7-6700k 4.0Ghz
32 GB
GTX 1080

@covert blade nothing fancy really. Frames do get low with that many, especially with the ones we had last time

covert blade
#

67000k ?

frosty veldt
#

Oh wait NVM it was more network for local IK. Network ik it's probably the same

polar jasper
#

one extra 0 xD

indigo fern
#

yo this man from the future

merry minnow
#

I need the wireless to poledance though

frosty veldt
#

Nah it's the upgraded version

covert blade
#

GTX 1080 i5-4670k

#

My PC was dead last sunday

frosty veldt
#

That i5 doesn't look too hot

covert blade
#

In fact, when I switched instances my game just crashed

polar jasper
#

80 people, so don't blame ya

covert blade
#

So yeah

#

Next time I'm only gonna keep voice on >_>

rigid crescent
#

why not split the meetup into groups if there's so many? vrcThinking

#

That's what silent club does

#

One instance fills, the hosts make a new room til that one fills

merry minnow
#

I have only voice for visitors and new users. Voice and avatar for user, known, and trusted. Friends have everything

polar jasper
#

We talked about it, but splitting it up isn't really ideal as you'd want to follow the person that made the world around to listen to what they have to say

covert blade
#

I use the same settings for all ranks because ranks are somewhat meaningless

#

But the community meetup has so many players that medium perf limiter and dbones off doesnt dig it

rigid crescent
#

hmm i feel like there's an easier way to do that

covert blade
#

Sooo uh, I dunno turning off all the avatars might help

rigid crescent
#

but they involve the creator having to explain the room multiple times

polar jasper
#

We have people that stream it, but forcing people to go watch that because they can't be in the same world isn't really something we want to do.

#

Yeah, but with a time limit of 3 hours and it being filled up pretty much every time, it doesn't leave a lot of room for that

#

Restarting the game and making sure safety is maxed before you join on anyone for the meetup could be a good idea yeah Sasha

covert blade
#

Custom - Voice only

#

Max safety is useless because it shows the avatar for trusted, which is like 99% of all players present

#

And then maaybe, I get 30 FPS

rigid crescent
#

for daily use I have everything on but animations for non-friends

#

i just wouldn't even bother going into massive lobbies like that

polar jasper
#

What I mean with maxed, is disable everything (not voice) including friends

covert blade
#

Pretty much

#

But I doubt the lag is coming from the avatars but who knows, maybe it helps a lil

polar jasper
#

Anything that helps ^_^

covert blade
#

At least I hope it will

Damn, pug/black cat flip flopping I guess

rigid crescent
#

Wish whoever was in charge would organize it better but I don't think the VRC event thing is actually run by them is it?

twin fractal
#

It doesn't seem to be. And if it is they're really not doing much with it

rigid crescent
#

Community run event upkeep when vrcAevSlap

twin fractal
#

It still don't get how you even join these events. It's super confusing as a new user tbh

rigid crescent

You don't join them you're merely allowed to know they exist

There's a separate discord that I'm gonna go ahead and assume is ass just like the calendar

anyone here who has a 1070ti, what kind of FPS do you get on a mostly populated great pug?

i'm only getting 45fps, pretty sure i have a huge cpu bottleneck

Great pug? I don't think 45 fps is even considered bad

#

I drop that low depending on settings/population

i forgot vrchat had performance issues

the pug definitely has issues lol

A single mirror usually drops my frames to 45 even when alone. lul

I might just be the frame check bugging out, but it never fails.

90 down to 45.

Rarely, it only drops to 60.

That's a good mirror.
