#

Not our fault if you dont inform yourself before you buy something to be honest

stuck iron
#

i didn't buy the computer

molten gale
#

O?

twin fractal
#

I didn't think you did tbh

stuck iron
#

everyone who helped buy it did

#

i didn't even know that it was an office laptop

#

this is just great

molten gale
#

You can try reducing the graphic settings

#

Hold shift while starting the game to do that

stuck iron
#

i can't even get in the game because i don't give enough time to get in because it's so slow

#

i tried that

molten gale
#

Damn

stuck iron
#

nothing happens

#

it just asks if i want to play in vr mode or in desktop mode

#

nothing else

#

even if i hold shift the whole time

molten gale
#

After you selected that

stuck iron
#

yeah

vocal shard
#

finally i uploaded my avatar!

stuck iron
#

i select "Launch in Desktop Mode"

molten gale
#

You select desktop mode and then hold shift

stuck iron
#

and then i hit "Play" with shift held

#

still just brings me into the game

molten gale
#

Afterwards

stuck iron
#

nothing else asked

molten gale
#

Just hold shift after you select that option

#

And wait until a graphics setting window opens

stuck iron
#

ok

#

'll go see if it works

#

i'll be back later

#

bye

#

it's still slow

#

nothing has popped up either

#

nothing has popped up

#

i held shift THE WHOLE TIME

#

@molten gale nothing showed up and i had shift held the whole time while launching

#

it's been like 5 minutes and nothing has showed up

#

10*

molten gale
#

Hmmm

opaque hawk
#

ctrl?

twin fractal
#

it's definitely shift

stuck iron
#

i'm already in the tutorial, i think it's too late

#

i geuss i'll deal with laggy/slow gameplay

rigid crescent
#

i mean i just did it with CTRL so

stuck iron
#

did it work

#

did it bring something up

rigid crescent
#

Yep

#

both work for me

#

but i doubt itll help much on a laptop like that

#

worth a try i guess

stuck iron
#

was it about a graphics setting?

twin fractal
#

yes

stuck iron
#

ok

twin fractal
#

don't expect it to magically make your computer good though

stuck iron
#

i'll google it and see if anything will help

opaque hawk
#

block very poor avatars and don't show dynamic bones.

stuck iron
#

i- i'm not even in the game, how will that help me

#

nothing helped on google

#

well, i geuss i'll go try ctrl

#

brb, i'll see if it works

#

i can't turn it off

rigid crescent
#

Seeing as it's a 200 dollar laptop i really don't see it helping at all

stuck iron
#

help!

#

wait wait... $200??

#

that is cheap

rigid crescent
#

yep

stuck iron
#

daaang

ruby needle
#

i think it was more like 350 - 400 new depending on spec

#

but still a low end laptop

stuck iron
#

hm

ruby needle
#

dual core processor (4 threads) 1,7ghz base with 2,7ghz boost.

stuck iron
#

i can't turn it off

rigid crescent
#

oh there were different tiers

#

honestly i wouldnt worry about turning it off, it probably wouldnt help

stuck iron
#

i don't understand what that stuff is

#

ok

#

i'm gonna restart my pc

#

brb

#

wait, i'm gonna try again

rigid crescent
#

gotta be honest, nothing is gonna help besides having a better PC

stuck iron
#

i don't have the money for it tho...

ruby needle
#

we concluded that a few times now, so i'd be great if you can move on

#

nothing is gonna change that and you will have to deal with that

#

Thanks cirComfy

stuck iron
#

i geuss this is why i started youtube

#

not for the other things i said i started it for

#

i mean... one thing was true

#

only that one part

or just make a new one

vernal forge
stuck iron
#

how did u find it?

#

who told you it?

#

where did u find it

#

why mine

#

nothing showed up

vernal forge
#

Is this the famous a one person role play as 2 persons act?

stuck iron
#

make one

#

start making one

vocal shard
#

If you don’t know how to make a gmail you’re too young to play this game

cosmic shore
#

yeahhh lmao

stuck iron
#

exactly

cosmic shore
#

and how'd you even get discord without an email

stuck iron
#

how did u get here if you don't have one

#

how did u get on discord without an email

#

did you use mine for that too?

vernal forge
#

Nice roleplay

stuck iron
#

wdym

#

we aren't

#

this is legit

cosmic shore
#

when did delta say they were using your email i-

stuck iron
#

oh

#

ok

#

i misread

twin fractal
#

we really got people in this game that don't know how to make an email address

vernal forge
#

Totally legit

stuck iron
#

how did you get discord without one

indigo fern
#

it really be 2020 tho

cosmic shore
#

kinda sus

stuck iron
#

yeah'

#

oh

#

that's REALLY a feature?

#

this is just sad

twin fractal
#

you don't want to play VRChat trust me

stuck iron
#

the only way you access the internet, just killed by a little button...

twin fractal
#

your power level is far too low

indigo fern
#

who would win, any service that needs an email vs guest account

stuck iron
#

criiinge

#

any service that needs email

#

obviously

#

having an email makes you OP everywhere

vernal forge
#

The plot t h i c c ens

stuck iron
#

lol

twin fractal
#

understandable

indigo fern
#

i dont have any games on it, so nah

vernal forge
#

Ah the plot makes less sense now

#

Plot

I will be safe in my email address

molten gale

Ive never been so confused by a convo here

coarse rock

cosmic shore
#

i feel like i'm having a stroke reading through it lmao

molten gale
#

Ikr

coarse rock
#

Sounds about right 👍

vernal forge
#

Maybe a youtube link on how to make an email can help

twin fractal
#

lol

cosmic shore
#

Still confused on how they got a discord account??

twin fractal
#

maybe troll dunno

#

probably troll

vernal forge
#

Tldr

ruby needle
#

@teal bison This Discord, and especiallythis Channel is VRChat related.

cosmic shore
#

definitely troll

ruby needle
#

Please keep it on Topic

vernal forge

Looks like it is employing the power of coffee pasta

ruby needle

And its gone , off to find an email on that VRChat horizon

molten gale

Lmao

copper pasture

mmMM someone probably used a hack that changed my avatar and im pissed

#

i could change it back tho so im good now lol

slate verge
#

how come the author didn't port the old vrchat hub to quest

cosmic shore
#

Oh I'm new to vrchat, just got it last night (ik I'm kinda late to the game). Any overall advice or tips would be great lol

stuck iron
#

i can't play it very well

hollow breach
#

Stay away from the void club @cosmic shore

cosmic shore
#

Tryna save up for a headset for it and some other games too

hollow breach
#

And the box

stuck iron
#

i can't play it

hollow breach
#

dont ask just trust me

stuck iron
#

i can, it's just really slow

hollow breach

cosmic shore
#

Thanks for the heads up lmaooo

copper pasture
#

i just got off the game cause i got scared of something but yeet

stuck iron
#

what did u get scared of

hollow breach
#

@cosmic shore honestly just be yourself and talk to people, it’s a social game to make friends with

#

No tips really needed

stuck iron
#

someone called "THE NARRATOR" talking in a Herbert The Pervert voice?

copper pasture
#

i got on the avatar testing world, got my avatar "hacked" and it had an animation that nearly made me fall off my chair

stuck iron

hollow breach
#

Specific

copper pasture
#

and looouuud fuckin music

desert stratus
#

do you have a vrchat account, as in an actual one and not a steam or oculus account

#

if so, go to the website, there is a button that will change your avatar back to the default one

stuck iron
#

is vrchat on ps4?

#

i can't play it on pc

desert stratus
#

if not, clear your cache and spam CTRL+\ while loading into the game to force switch to the default avatar

copper pasture
#

oh no dw i actually could change it in game, but thanks for that!

desert stratus
#

you cant play it on PC at all? like desktop mode wont even run? because vrchat is not and will never come to PS4

#

ah thats good!

stuck iron
#

i can

copper pasture
#

i wish i had time to report the avatar but my gamer fight or flight mode was activated so lmao

stuck iron
#

it's really slow because i don't have a gaming desktop

#

i don't have a desktop at all

molten gale

Solar how long will that 3 letter name trend persist

desert stratus

i'm just rocking on a dell latitude e5540

molten gale

stuck iron
#

slate verge

@molten gale whats the 3 letter name trend about

molten gale

That explains everything tbh

slate verge

No.

molten gale

No.

stuck iron
#

i don't know how to do tht at all

copper pasture
#

u h-

stuck iron
#

i cant even play

#

i can play, it's just really slow

molten gale
#

My options would be "Pin" and "Sin" for the 3 letter trend

stuck iron

molten gale

And tbh those are both terrible

stuck iron

copper pasture

lime umbra
#

vocal shard
#

gah i want to but i have so much things to do right now

grizzled pawn
#

How do I load into a created world. Any time I try to it just takes me to the main VR where you can then access the VRchat hub

slate verge
#

make sure its fully uploaded correctly onto your account

vocal shard
#

bored

stuck iron
#

omg i got in the game

#

i'm still slow so i'm having trouble turning down the graphics

#

ok bye, i'm gonna go play the rest of the game now

desert stratus

u< nice

hewo

stuck iron

i was really slow

i couldn't find out where i turn down the graphics

omg paci is so cute

#

where is he at

rigid crescent
#

oh no

desert stratus
#

shh

hushed veldt
#

endless loop after logging anyone else?

slate verge
#

not yet

light niche
#

some people are saying there's a client that can somehow literally delete your entire ass VRC account now? literally how would that even be possible?? shit like that should be server side and encrypted??

desert stratus
#

Thats not possible

light niche
#

i.e. no one should be physically able to affect someone else's account on the server using a client?

desert stratus
#

Please dont talk about things that are obviously impossible because if you do then 100 more little children qre going to come in here asking the same question

light niche
#

I mean, tbh, I would have thought force changing someone's avatar was impossible, too, but, well.

#

It's possible VRC's security is somehow just that bad I guess lol

desert stratus
#

AFAIK clients can only kick you, crash you in many ways, fake a ban, or grab your ip. Anyone who claims they can do more maliciously is bluffing or trying to scam you unless it consistently happens

light niche
#

Figured I'd just poke in here to make sure.

desert stratus
#

were all waiting on 2018 to fix that

vocal shard
#

They can also switch your avatar

desert stratus
#

Falls under "many ways"

vocal shard
#

🤔

desert stratus
#

I think most clients at this point only switch avatars for crashing purposes

stuck iron

oh neat, a "funny" vrchat video by some youtuber 💤

vocal shard

And posting it in the wrong channel

hasty anchor
#

VRChat slow for anyone else?

#

VRChat is not loading anything at all, can't get into any other worlds, friends take forever to load their profiles, extremely slow startup screen

vocal shard
#

Alright

proud marsh
#

When i play VRChat on my Pc, All the textures are messed up

broken plover
#

Did you update your graphics card drivers?

wild wadi
#

Servers are slow it seems

knotty tinsel
#

Who wants to watch a movie

faint skiff
#

@proud marsh What GPU?

cosmic belfry
#

plop

faint skiff
#

For anyone interested; As of Virtual Desktop's recent updates, streaming PCVR to the Quest with it now has virtually imperceivable controller latency (it was pretty obvious before) so in VRChat it basically feels completely native. Compression artifacting is still sometimes visible but that's about the only caveat.

hollow sluice
#

@keen trench yeah I have them

keen trench
#

How are they fairing ?

#

Thank you so much for the responce btw ❤️

hollow sluice
#

they are nice but the Velcro on one of the leg straps started giving off a bit. its still more than usable and doesnt limit me at all though

#

I have been using them like every day since november

keen trench
#

can you just sew the velcro back on ?

hollow sluice
#

its not falling off. its just not as sticky anymore

keen trench
#

oh hmm that sucks

hollow sluice
#

there is some general wear and tear from the usage on teh pads where the trackers go but as long as you dont take the trackers off the starps offten that wont be a problem either

keen trench
#

Oh hmmm

hollow sluice
#

honestly I bought them from 20€ on aliexpress and they work amazingly for that price

keen trench
#

seems like a bad set off straps then ahaha

#

I paid 45 pounds for my set ahaha

hollow sluice
#

thats way more than what I paid for these and they work perfectly fine

keen trench
#

Ah right well the uk pricing is pretty bad

#

track straps go for 85 pounds

hollow sluice
#

well the trackstraps are like 60€ here which is insane

keen trench
#

So these seemed like a good alternative

#

Yeah i think that is very pricy for god dam strap ahaha

hollow sluice
#

yeah its just a velcro with a screw

keen trench
#

ahaha

hollow sluice
#

they should be like 10 bucks to be honest lol

keen trench
#

Yeah true ahaha

#

You haven't had the thread break on you right?

#

Heard some horror stories about cheap trackers

hollow sluice
#

not at all

#

they never fell off even if I smacked them against the wall

#

(I kicked a wall like the idiot I am)

#

blade and sorcery is too immersive

keen trench
#

Ah ok great

#

Well replacing the velcro is very cheap and easy anyways

#

ngl I was kinda scared that I made the wrong choice of straps ahaha

hollow sluice
#

ehh I used corcks and my belt before I had the same experience really

#

but thats just me I am cheapskate

keen trench
#

Well i'm not a cheapskate but I think 85 pounds for straps with velcro is a giant scam

hollow sluice
#

well its an undersaturated market

keen trench
#

True!

rigid crescent
#

they should only be 35 now

keen trench
#

I agree

rigid crescent
#

the pricing went down some time ago for the rebuff reality ones

keen trench
#

What were they priced at?

hollow sluice
#

I mean they are charging overkill and people are buying it because theres no other option so they can get away with it

keen trench
#

True

#

Well i still paid a premium for mine but what ever

#

I mean so long as there somewhat comfy and last idm

hollow sluice
#

doesnt really matter how much you pay if they last long

keen trench
#

True

#

I mean bought these hoping they would be decent

#

Should have asked the community before i purchased them tho ahaha

worthy grove
#

Does anyone know what this world is called. A world with horror Disney. I need this name. That was my favorite world

Ok thx

lucid elk
#

Hi, roma

worthy grove
#

Hey

vocal shard
#

is anyone having the same issue as me where it takes forever to upload an avatar?

north axle
#

I heard there were issues with the servers last night. We couldn’t upload any avatars for a while because of that.

lucid socket
#

I've Been hearing things about VRChat to update the unity ver, make dynamic bones global/peer-to-peer and etc etc for 2020. Well, I don't believe that will happen any time soon, and if it does it is probably in the distant future.

Take all rumours with a large grain of salt.

north axle
#

VRC usually releases only one or two big updates a year max.

frosty veldt
#

Pretty sure we already have dynamic bones lmao

north axle
#

Maybe Ned was talking about global dynamic bone colliders? Lots of people have been asking for that but I doubt this sorta thing will get added any time soon.

vocal shard
#

that would be nice thou

frosty veldt
#

Probably but the devs have already said they don't want to add it due to optimization even with an option to disable/enable

umbral reef
#

@lucid socket they produced a road map of things they want to make
A dbone replacement was on that

frosty veldt
#

Yeah if anything it's a topic to wait for if/when we are using a seperate system

vocal shard
#

you can only take vr so far...laptop lagged like hell when i first got on i had to turn the settings down..i dont lag at all now

lucid socket
#

i m w a i t i n g

umbral reef
#

Also just because it's on the roadmap doesn't mean they will do it

#

As the group that it's part of had loads of things under it

frosty veldt
#

Well unity update is probably going to happen in 2nd quarter but can't say since we're waiting on unity rn not vrc

lucid socket
#

I jus wish I had better patience lol, like I don't mind but at the same time I'm like -blank expression-

frosty veldt
#

I've just done other things, not too hyped about the 2018 update as it doesn't address my biggest issues

faint skiff
#

@lucid socket Why do you think you'd be privy to rumours about features that other people much closer to the team or development wouldn't be?

#

But given how much in VRC is just direct Unity stuff, I'd be surprised if they made their own dynamic bones replacement (and could competently make it more performant than the current implementation).

pseudo basalt
#

current implementation is from like 2017

#

or 2015 even

#

with new unity systems could be done

sly fiber
#

I have 216 hours and I've been stuck at orange for like 200 hours

#

how df do I get to purple

broken plover
#

did you upload any avatars or worlds? If not and you plan on not uploading anything then prepare to play for 1000 or more hours

sly fiber
#

bruh I'm to lazy for all that

polar jasper
#

Just make a new scene, slap in a plane and the VRCWorld prefab, upload, done 👍

glad bolt
#

And that lack of motivation is precisely why you're not purple.

plain citrus
#

Hey uhh whenever I try to play VRchat in VR mode it doesn’t respond. Like it’s just a black screen and then wont respond. But desktop mode works fine. Idk what to do, I’ve reinstalled the game and restarted my computer several times.

meager solstice
#

@plain citrus does ur pc play other vr games in vr?

coarse chasm
#

You’re orange at 200 hours wha

frosty veldt
#

Orange at 200 with no uploads is normal imo

coarse chasm
#

Really?? I’m still green at over 200 hours and a few avatar uploads

#

I guess that’s why my friends told me I should be orange anytime now

molten gale
#

I was purple at 280

indigo fern
#

theres no set req so it varies a whole lot since people play different

molten gale
#

Many of my friends need around 1k to reach trusted

coarse chasm
#

Wat the hecc

molten gale
#

Oh im legend now

#

Lmao

faint skiff
#

I didn't think that rank was actually assigned anymore?

twin fractal
#

shows up in the api

opaque hawk
#

I don't remember when the trust system came out, but I think I had around the same amount of hours as Paci at the time and had trusted.

#

so I do think time is not something to be concerned about if you want to rank up.

faint skiff
#

Active time is probably an exponent (or at least has minimum gates) rather than not being involved at all.

twin fractal
#

it's involved for sure

#

I got to new user in one play session with one friend and idling in void club

#

on an alt acc

pseudo basalt
#

No reason for it to not be involved honestly, it's the easiest thing to track. They just say idling doesn't work to discourage people from doing it

#

And because it's probably not that effective

molten gale
#

Yeah also got new user in less than 10 hours

faint skiff
#

Idling likely is tracked, in that it doesn't count which is why people on desktop rank slower, because they're "idle" a lot more, where as in VR, you're always moving, even when you aren't.

lofty cipher

For some odd reason on VRC some people were removed and I did not Unfriend them at all whatsoever x_x

still lark
#

But did they unfriend you? :P

lofty cipher
#

no they didnt

#

some other people reported the same thing on their end

still lark
#

Might have been an API hiccup.

lofty cipher
#

API Hiccup? O_o

#

that doesnt sound good..

vocal shard
#

no it's fine

#

not the first time

slate verge
#

one time i had a friend joined me and i see them orange and they said they have me on friendslist when i didn't for them

lofty cipher
#

^See? I told you x.x

slate verge
#

but that was like last year

lofty cipher
#

Im not sure what is going on with VRC honestly, but this is sort of becoming an issue

slate verge
#

maybe its a small bug, you can fix it by telling them to unfriend and re-add you

lofty cipher

It happened to me two times earlier

slate verge

both do it actually

ivory frost
#

Hey has the word been spreading about NVidia adding VRSS support for VRchat as of the driver released on Febuary 27th? Game-Ready 442.50

vocal shard
#

no

ivory frost
#

VR-SS means super sampling for your focal point instead of the entire display. This allows for better resolution with less impact to frame rates and it should be a pretty big deal for VRchat performance for anyone using an NVidia card. As an example VRSS nearly doubles the framerate of a PC with 4x VRSS vs what 4xss was for the entire scene.

#

Well I guess it won't help frame rates for anyone not currently using super sampling at all, but it might let those people add some SS without hurting their existing frame rate. 2x super sampling makes VRC look great even on the OG Vive and Rift

faint skiff
#

Or maybe they unfriended you and didn't want to admit it. "Oh hey, that's weird, you're not my friend anymore..." "Oh really? Wow, I wonder how that happened, heh, darned VR Chat..." "Oh no worries, let me just readd you!" "... yaaaay...." lol

stoic adder
#

Is anyone else having issues with avatars in VRC rn?

#

My favourited avatars are not showing, I only see the public default ones, recommended avatar worlds and that..

frosty veldt
#

While I'm positive that vrc removes people at random rarely, I have used it as a cover up to remove people.

slate verge
#

@stoic adder seems fine to me

coarse chasm
#

How do they measure “idling”? Do you have to actively hop worlds or some?

slate verge
#

any action other than just standing still

#

in a way you could say that its harder for desktop users to gain ranks, but not impossible

#

if they like...you know talk or grab objects and stuff

coarse chasm

Hmmm

Ugh I need help. My VRchat won’t start up when I try to play in VR mode. It was doing perfectly fine yesterday but now when I open it it’s a black screen then it stops responding. I tried another VR game but it wouldn’t open either. I uninstalled and reinstalled steam but it still won’t work?? Is there something wrong with my headset? Idk what to do

slate verge
#

vrchat does a better job at real life therapy and you can do it for free right at home

#

@plain citrus usually its because of some other program or apps interfering with your steamvr, Might want to re-set up your vr in the steam vr tutorial.

plain citrus
#

Ok, how do I do that? Do I start in desktop mode and switch over?

uh...no....i don't think thats how it works

game is still mostly gpu so I can still run VR at 90 Hz

you mainly have to look out for BG processes

vocal shard
#

Trying to decide between an upgrade build to a Ryzen 9 vs Intel I9. I think the Ryzen may run this game better then the I9 due to the extra threads and cores. What do y'all think?

stuck iron
#

yeah

#

you should switch to Ryzen

bright jolt
#

I run the game pretty great with a i9

slate verge
#

@vocal shard power is irrelevant for this game cuz you can still get crashed and lags as well as major fps drops due to avatar and world variants and some idiot players. On to the question though, it really depends on which you want.

#

i know a streamer and he had an i9 and still gets crashed from random people he met in public instances, specifically the great pug cuz he sings there

single thread speed would be better no?

vocal shard

I am currently running an i7700hq 4 cores overclocked to 3.8G and with 32 gigs of ram and a GTX 1070. With my VR headset I get like 40 fps in the pub. So I guess I am wondering the best way to get that up to 80fps.

slate verge
#

you can't because you already have the relevant power

#

its the worlds and avatar that are decreasing the fps

vocal shard
#

oh ok

slate verge
#

yeah for example if you hang and chill out in Room of the rain or mostly Quest worlds, you will see a major boost in your fps

stuck iron
#

wow

#

how major u talking

vocal shard
#

that cool I had no idea

twin fractal
#

basically this game is just shit performance wise

slate verge
#

idk it varies, but i notice my fps was decently high when i was in room of the rain Until a friend joins with one of their stupidly 100k+ poly avatar

stuck iron
#

dang

#

how do you make an avatar?

#

is there a specific program?

slate verge
#

but being as a friend i can't block them straight up so whatever. I just let them be and suffer the fps drop.

stuck iron
#

or can i just make something with zbrush and upload it to the game?

slate verge
#

you need Unity and a package called vrc_sdk. I believe you will learn more about it in #avatars-2-general pins

stuck iron
#

oh ok

#

i don't want to download it

vocal shard
#

In that situation why is the frame rate go down. Would better hardware help at all.

stuck iron
#

so, nvm

slate verge
#

@vocal shard nope. Its the worlds or avatars like i said.

#

so the next time you see your frame drops, you look around carefully and check the users Poly.

vocal shard
#

ok.

slate verge
#

if its very high for the users, then you hide their avatar which will evidently change them into a robot.

#

Or you can change everyone into a robot by default in the safety settings first.

can anyone help with something?

#

@slate verge most people avatars are too high poly example the e girl avatars 300k is normal to see and more materials then a ps2 game tons of bones coliders etc they by far the fps blackholes in vrc so bad that a friend with wireless adapter has to hide those e girl avatars or his at 144p VR

#

but polys not the worst thing actually but having 300+k on like 20 people goes to insane numbers i think vrc should increase the limit to 100k before avatars become poor or very poor

vocal shard
#

It's at 70k and that's more than enough

faint skiff
#

VRChat public has basically become: Allow all avatars = 40fps (painful in VR) or Block Very Poor = 1/2 to 3/4 of the lobby disappear.

#

They need to start enforcing limits in some way.

desert stratus
#

Hard limits is not the worst thing in the world

#

Its not gonna kill the community or the creator community. It will force out everyone who isnt giving a shit, who wont be missed

#

There will always be modded SDKs but the client itself can already autoblock heavy avatars

#

Hell, why arent there any very strict hard limits for at least public avatars?

faint skiff
#

Basically. Creators can easily pack things into sane values. 99% of offenders are grabbing crap from VRCM and just uploading it. If you ask any of these people about their terrible avatar, the response is always "I don't care". Great, thanks...

desert stratus
#

Really

#

At the very least if you want to preserve cool animation avatars

#

Just impose both sdk and client hard limits on public avatars. Dont allow people toanually show public avatars if they are over medium

#

Manually*

wary hollow
#

was tough to get my avatar to med Rank
but something has to be done to make people not make a avatar with ton of things on it like 400+ bones

dusk mesa
#

Well, my models are ususlly atlased and under 70-80k poly, they are usually orange, but as soon as I add dynamic bones on EVEN short hair with a ponytail, it goes red 🤷

faint skiff
#

I'd say the "poor" rank is fine. It's just people overshoot into Very Poor by insane amounts these days.

wary hollow
#

the issues is when everyone is using those heavy avatars

dusk mesa
#

The issue is the MATERIAL count and colliders

#

Models with 30-40 materials + 10Colliders + is insane

wary hollow
#

@dusk mesa the limit perhaps should be higher on bones and few other things but not high enough where everyone just has insane numbers

dusk mesa
#

Yes i agree

wary hollow
#

perhaps add a new Rank upove very poor where someone exceeds the limits by 100%

#

call it Trash Rank

dusk mesa
#

🤣

wary hollow
#

😂

dusk mesa

Pff thats nothing 🤣 hold up lemme search something

@dusk mesa took me 1 min to find people using those avatars

hello

#

My safety settings are all avatars shown fully featured for all ranks. Except very poor is always hidden. Friends manually overridden to always show even if very poor

viscid seal
#

for mine friends have everything enabled, non friends just have voice and avatar only enabled no matter what rank (except visitor which is set to voice only)

#

so it usually takes 60-70 players in an instance for it to get 30-ish frames for me usually

#

(unless its a world that doesn't perform well)

broken plover
#

I have 15fps or less with 25-30 players

viscid seal
#

it takes a lot for me to feel even slightly motion sick so I don't mind running around in 30 fps. Only becomes an issue when its below 15 frames and the game is a slideshow XD

#

but the world creator meetups are a good example of how 60-70 people can work in vrc

#

and we've sometimes hit full 80 there

#

all optimized avatars for the most part at these events too

#

my world hop events are constantly around 40 people and performance for me was fine

#

but this is all with the safety settings I use above

#

I also have the dynamic bone setting turned on too

#

whatever the default value is ingame

desert stratus
#

32 transforms / avatar

viscid seal
#

🙂

desert stratus
#

8-16 collision checks / avatar

viscid seal
#

sounds right 🙂

#

but i've generally had a good time performance wise in vrc for a long time now

#

most of my friends tend to have optimized avatars so that helps a lot

#

i stopped using dynamic bones myself for new avatars now, didn't like how they behave when you move about

#

and I'm not the type of person who finds sits in the same spot ingame for hours so soft tilts to see hair flop around is not something I experience XD

languid beacon
#

My biggest wish list is for Blocked avatars to have profile pictures on the chest like quest does

viscid seal
#

oh like the thumbnail of the avatar?

dapper kelp
#

What if they marked if someone changed avatar when you blocked

#

Unless thats what adon means?

viscid seal
#

Adeon means just showing the avatar thumbnail on the chest I think

#

so you can indentify each person in the robot avatar

#

which I think would be cool 🙂

languid beacon
#

Yeah quest already does it no idea why Pc can’t have it

#

Makes a room full of robots less confusing, especially if nameplates are off

viscid seal
#

ooh, good point

#

it'll probably come around eventually for pc in that case 🙂

That isn't a valid reason. This is on child-like figures. And I'm pretty kids don't wear panties for everyone to see, especially in public. I haven't even touched upon the giant genitalia avatars yet.

no point in hating a person for being born later than yourself

I am fine with them if I do not see em :D

Sure, but it gives you something to focus your problems on—how annoying they are. That's why people have issues with kids. Because they lack maturity.

I've meet ton of kiddo's who are mature

saying every kid is immature is a weak mindset

but thats just how i feel

They are immature—physically

if the kid is above the age of 13 he's "good"

Not necessarily

for some reason i get really uncomfortable around young kids in VR when im in VR too. i can't explain why but there is something deeply unsettling about it.

#

like under the age of 15.

i think it's something to either do with their avatar, or that they're the same size as me, or the way they approach me or act, im not really sure, but i do not like it at all lol

vocal shard
#

Yeah same

polar rose
#

and it's specifically VR kids, not desktop ones. those are fine.

it almost feels like its just an environment they dont belong in.

im all for them being there tho for sure, i just get a lil freaked out for some reason

Nothing wrong with gatekeeping things that people clearly shouldn't be in. VRChat is full of, what is essentially girls of questionable age dressed as hookers.

people below the age of 13 def's shouldn't be in vrc

frosty veldt

Well that's against TOS anyway

Nobody care about tos lmao

silent whale

im pretty sure its law that they cant have accounts for stuff under 13 regardless of platform

But is it though? Given that nothing has ever been done about it and those avatars make up most public lobbies these days?

#

i dont remember

wet sluice
#

Talking about several things at once here

frosty veldt
#

@faint skiff While it isn't as common as it should be people are banned for being younger than 13 and for having suggestive material. It's against the rules but the rules are enforced once in a blue moon

astral granite
#

agree'd

#

but there's no point in gatekeeping kids (above the age of 13) in vrc

#

they have as much right to be there as you

Do they?

they do

#

Some situations more than others

wet sluice
#

This is like, something on all of the internet

#

Just don't go to quest compatible worlds lol

faint skiff
#

@frosty veldt That'll be due to the complete lack of moderators/moderation.

wet sluice
#

Problem solved

desert stratus
#

there's like so many different things going on here than just gatekeeping

broken plover
#

only people born before 1400BC can react with 🗿

desert stratus
#

1 - you cant keep kids away from everything especially if you personally know kids who have the maturity, knowledge, and experience to handle something like VR

broken plover
#

oh this type of gatekeeping

desert stratus
#

2 - you can reasonably bar" kids" (pick an age) from interacting with you for a number of specific and strong reasons. Maturity is valid and okay, to keep kids away from you, not the platform. sometimes it can be more specific, like how commissioners do not accept business from young people in case they can't properly manage money

frosty veldt
#

People always say that it's the players job to report people but it's usually easier to just move on

desert stratus
#

3 - who you interact with is up to you, and block / mute tools decide this. In a more ideal future we would finally have that guild feature or at least rhe ability to mark lobbies as 18+ or some other form of restricted

wet sluice
#

What if I'm a 900yo mature lolibaba?

desert stratus
#

Thatll never happen XD

#

Unless i allow it

astral granite
#

true

hollow ingot
#

ID verification for 18+

astral granite
#

there should be worlds that are 18+

desert stratus
#

Oh and 4 - i wont deny that there is radical differences between platforms that are exclusively 18+ and only 13+, even if people try to fake ages. I think for VRChat specifically you really only need circles that are 18+, hence there should be guild or restricted instance support, which i think lends itself to guild support since thats already a feature that the dev team has entertained

I feel when things are heavily age-gated it makes the community even more lewd and gross because people start to feel it’s other people’s problem if they don’t like it.

polar rose
#

yeah, i think things are fine as they are. simply more moderation is required.

#

(for those actually under 13)

#

You also risk having the platform labeled a sex game, like with Second Life

It basically is

#

I see so much porn, naked models and erp in public it's pathetic

desert stratus
#

Exactly. There's also the whole social aspect to consider, as much as a stupid problem it is

twin fractal
#

I'm very against 18+ lobbies

desert stratus
#

[X] competitor might be able to get away with simply stating that while the game is obviously 13+ like any other content online there can also be 18+ lobbies where restricted streaming among other rules apply

slate verge
#

then again Why are kids playing vrchat? is the question, where are their parents?

desert stratus
#

Idk. Why are kids playing anything?

broken plover
#

everyone 18+ should be banned from vrc, aswell as anyone under 13 so its just teens vibin' with memes (jk)

maybe they just wanna have fun?

#

isn't that crazy

desert stratus
#

who cares. If its a shitty kid then i ask that question, much how i ask if a shitty adult is still living with their parents

astral granite
#

that people below the age of 18 wants to have fun?

indigo fern

theyre playing to talk and have fun, same reasons why social things like gaia or habbo existed

thats crazy right?

Okay im sorry i didnt mean that, nothing's wrong with stillnliving with family if ur an adult > <

my parents need me more than I need them. I'd say it's circumstancial

desert stratus

VRChat is perfectly safe for kids with parental supervision ngl.

vocal shard
#

Yes

#

: omegalul:

pure hemlock
#

Lol wat

languid beacon
#

Anyone who does anything that would be illegal if a child was witnessing it shouldn’t be doing it in VRChat public in the first place

pure hemlock
#

Not unless the parents have one of those memory wipers from men in black

twin fractal
#

we playing the same game lol

languid beacon
#

Yes I’m simply shifting the responsibility

@pure hemlock neuralizer

desert stratus

If you're standing on good ground then your memory wiper is right there ayy

faint skiff

@languid beacon Like walking around wearing stripper / erotic show attire? lol

twin fractal
#

that doesn't make it kid appropriate though

languid beacon
#

So hold them responsible

slate verge
#

it is the parents or adults to cover their eyes and say No

twin fractal
#

still doesn't protect the kids by telling other people to follow the rules

vocal shard
#

I can easily put a gore picture on your face and crash you at the same time and you won't be able to exit vrchat

slate verge
#

oof

vocal shard
#

And the safety system won't help you either

#

Parental control or not

astral granite
#

yeah

desert stratus
#

IMO when talking about stuff like that it becomes a lot more of a parental problem anyway

languid beacon
#

If there’s a kid seeing a latex fetishest walking around Walmart do you blame: A.) the kid for being in Walmart B.) The fetishest for being in public or C.) Walmart

slate verge
#

B and C

vocal shard
#

Don't play vrchat of you want to be safe, simple as that

astral granite
#

B

pure hemlock
#

Walmart actually has staff to remove latex fetishists

desert stratus
#

there's a good amount of 18+ people who shid and cum in #user-support-old when they get crashed by avatars

pure hemlock
#

VRChat has no staff, it's the wild west

astral granite
#

@languid beacon legit facts

vocal shard
#

They don't have devs either anymore

pure hemlock
#

And how often do you run into latex fetishishsts in walmart compared to VRChat

vocal shard
#

Something something dead game something

pure hemlock
desert stratus
#

like the parents have a burden to help their kids grow and react better to these situations among other things

pure hemlock
#

It's like taking your kid to the strip club not walmart

vocal shard
#

Vrchat doesn't represent the real world thankfully

slate verge
#

parents are irresponsible these days 😔

desert stratus
#

Even if the burden is shared between them and the platform to keep kids from experiencing something shitty or doing something shitty

vocal shard
#

If you raise your kid properly he won't go on vrchat

astral granite
#

not every public world is filled with nsfw stuff

desert stratus
#

lol

astral granite
#

most people just wanna have a good time

vocal shard
#

False but ok

pure hemlock
#

Pretty much every world has avatars that are probably 'nsfw' and not safe for kids, even if they aren't nude lol

faint skiff
#

@astral granite Hah. Find me a single fucking public lobby where most the avatars aren't in super skimpy clothing, or creepy lolis.

slate verge
#

actually every public worlds is filled with e-boys and e-girls at least 1 or 2

astral granite
#

aight i give up

slate verge
#

most of the time their skins are mostly revealed

pure hemlock
#

Strip clubs are safe to bring your kid to too based on the arugments I am seeing here, shift the responability to the club not the parents

desert stratus
#

Public lobbies are really random tbh

astral granite
#

correct

languid beacon
#

I guess that’s my whole point. I don’t want VRChat to be “like a strip club”

desert stratus
#

Im like the last person wo stays in lobbies that dont have skimpy eboys and egirls but a lot more questy boys or bananas

vocal shard
#

Too late for that

desert stratus
#

Everyone who else - who usually complain about nsfw content being a lot more prevalent publically - leave my lobbies cuz theyre apparently boring

languid beacon
#

By age gating you make the platform worse. By forcing it to be age friendly you can take your lewd stuff in private and punish those who don’t

pure hemlock
#

I agree with that Adeon. I don't want it to be that either. But it basically is.

slate verge
#

blame vrchat memes for the attraction on kids, or better yet blame the youtubers that records the memes showing it to kids to attract them

desert stratus
#

I get that its a problem but its not that massive and world type is also critical

#

The void and black cat are literally a world apart

pure hemlock
#

It's almost like moderation in game would help

astral granite
#

black cat is mostly chill

pure hemlock
#

Black cat is pretty chill most of the time tbh

#

Still wouldn't bring me kids their though lol

astral granite
#

yeah

desert stratus
#

Lol yeah

languid beacon
#

For one thing, how would you feel about making use of and enforcing the correct categorization of nsfw content checkbox on upload and put a filter in place that won’t load it in public instances

desert stratus
#

F you ddid have a son or daughter and were like "hey wanna try out vrchat"

pure hemlock
#

Mommy why does that catgirl have a jiggly bulge under her skirt

desert stratus
#

Id probably boot up a friends only world and open up a lot of quest stuff

astral granite
#

lmao

desert stratus
#

Very quest stuff like Blue's worlds

faint skiff
#

Black Cat is normally a 12 year old filled mess now. Twice in the last few times I've been there, there were kids under 10 running around.

slate verge
#

@languid beacon still wouldn't matter cuz kids will still want to bypass it

desert stratus
#

I think a nifty udon script to write in the future should be an instance MOTD

vocal shard
#

How do you make sure someone is tagging his avatar properly?

slate verge
#

maybe add an icon in-game? dunno

twin fractal
#

they should just moderate public avatars

desert stratus
#

upon joining you get either a screenspace message(bad) or world element like a TV or billboard (good) that explains why it exists

#

just find a world bigenough to put some distance between spawn and where you are and boom, thats probably mostly safe

vocal shard
#

The problem is the lack of moderation
Its been so carefree that people are doing whatever they want and don't care about rules

slate verge
#

that is actually true, no offense.

faint skiff
#

Not sure where the obsession that anywhere that disallows kids would immediately become some sort of orgy den though, weird jump.

vocal shard
#

And if you try to impose stuff now you are just going to anger a lot of people

twin fractal
#

it would

languid beacon
#

It’s a change in attitude when you know kids aren’t allowed

faint skiff
#

By your logic, most Friends+ instances would be that then...

desert stratus
#

adeon is right, the orgy jump wont come from a change in restrictions but a change in implications

faint skiff
#

I think you're all projecting to be honest, or just weirdly fixated on it.

desert stratus
#

happened to second life, anyway

twin fractal
#

what you would get is a spotlight on "18+ acceptance" that would bring more people to the game specifically for that

desert stratus
#

Or at least thats hat i always fucking hear every time its brought up

#

cuz people are dumb

#

like thats literally the only reaon why it happens. Its stupid but it will happen

faint skiff
#

Actually with SL it's a case of Correlation does not imply Causation. Most people got bored of the platform, that simply left people using it for "other stuff".

twin fractal
#

never played second Life but I think that's my point

faint skiff
#

Plus people have always liked to shit on SL so "omg it's a sex gaaamme" was just another way to do that.

desert stratus
#

is that how it actually went down?

vocal shard
#

No

faint skiff
#

Then you have the parrots, like Lint just admitted to being, who "heard" it off someone else, then other people hear it off them.

#

Before you know it, your mum definitely banged the milkman, because I heard of it off a guy down the pub so it must be true.

twin fractal
#

the VRChat team literally go out of their way to not even acknowledge the adult content in this game to avoid this (my assumption)

vocal shard
#

Don't be mean

desert stratus
#

Can you blame me? I don't think there's a better way for me to find out if I wasn't there on the platform

languid beacon
#

Yup. That’s exactly what happened to Second Life. They had illegal issues with adult content so they addressed it with a +18 age gate. That only served to make the adult content even more prominent and eventually it became the only thing the platform was about.

slate verge
#

so, vrc is fine as it is?

twin fractal
#

yeah my issue there summed up

desert stratus
#

Like if i'm gonna get it wrong then i'm gonna get it wrong and learn better, you can't throw shade at me for being a parrot when literally everyone including you learns shit by getting them wrong first

vocal shard
#

Vrc is garbage

astral granite
#

no

twin fractal
#

the game might quite literally die. because I'd imagine they'd lose funding if there was an "adult content is being encouraged in a 13+ game" scandal

vocal shard
#

If you don't have a friend group or dislike all the ethot eboy, I find it hard to enjoy it

astral granite
#

true

#

also true

desert stratus

Vrchat to me is like...its better discord lol

I didn't touch the game regularly for like 6 months now
