ateo ohou clalling me@dumb
"Are you calling me dumb"
everyone else>desktop meme kids>desktop edgelords
People > everyone else
At the very bottom you have desktop mutes
you're cute
Am i the only one who finds everyone entertaining
muted are cute
no un nkt
@desert stratus not the only one, i find everyone else fascinating and fun except for crashers and client users
and generally inoffensive for obvious reasons
Like fuck this ranking shit if someone isnt entertaining enough then mess with them or join a different lobby
Is it just me or did my mind say
mutes are cute
Muted are cuted
but scary
ni ifknd everyone enterntaining but boi one paysu yattention to me
imagine a 40 year old mute with a loli avatar
i havwntn olayee vrchat in twoi monthsh
thats scary
No thanks
no I like the mix
"I find everyone entertaining but no ine pays attention to me"
I don't mind mutes, I used to be one. But sometimes it feels awkward trying to make them feel involved or keep them involved in a discussion
ith horing no fun
i actually know someone who is a 40 year old in a loli avatar
"I havent played vrchat in two months, it boring no fun"
I feel bad since it's easy for mutes to get ignored
just that some groups tend to be more problematic ime
Don't be mute then xd
hiw okd am i
Svel some people are mute IRL. Some people (Like I do) have really bad social anxiety.
Yah eventually if you can talk, you should learn to open up. But that can take awhile
Who cares
No excuses
Mutes are cool
svebn whenn i tajkl no jen does
So are people
i actually started off mute, but i'm talkative now.
muted are cool
Same
so io dni itouch im heyaees
I was mute for my first 450 hours or so
The only not cool peoplearent mutes, theyre just simply not cool
imm notk nmutre
"svel when i talk no one does, so i ddont (talk much here?)"
❌
"Im not mute"
I still am 'mute' a lot because of social anxiety but I won't like completely refuse to talk. I just go very quiet in situations where I am overwhelmed with anxiety.
That's fine tho
The only frustration with being mute begins and ends with said muted
I'm mute 30% of the time
i go quiet when i see someone i don't know immediately even though its probably some one else's friends in the room
Like i could make the argument that someone making no attempt to interact is taking up precious server and world real estate
But they could really easily be shy as fuck aand just trying to get comfy being around people in this game in the first place
true but muted still interact
Ironically being mute just makes matters worse, because it makes social interactions with you much harder and many people in general won't really engage you. You're essentially going from being neutral initially to being "a bit of a pain to interact with". I know I just ignore most mutes now because trying to understand them is just an exercise in annoyance and, ironically anxiety inducing itself.
ieither wayy nocoen rpayss attneoton to me so oit soesn tmagterr gmame si boring
Also playing mute I found my anxiety to be less because in a way, I was't really being me. I was kind of playing a character based on my avatar. It helped me relax a lot. Defence mechanism of some sort maybe I guess? Since I've unmuted, I feel a lot more vulnerable.
Its why i always say hi. if someone still seems to just be there for jack shit then i wonder why theyre not in a private world alone
in fact long term mutes are usually more interactive than most
sooslr csn o lay iwtih u ten
@faint skiff i can understand that frustration.
oh god I just had a stress attack
i uhaventn played ij jaklongntome
I get not wanting to interact with mutes, nothing wrong with that
Why
its even worse when they don't respond with anything back when they could've with emoji's and emotes
I think it's a bit unempathetic but to each their own
spoalr can i
"either way no one pays attention to me so it doesnt matter game is boring, solar can i play with u then, i / you havent played in a long time"
eh
Yeah i was gonna get on today u can joij me
i jchave w concert
I have a concert?
inm firiest chsir
nice.
o ihavevto ogo
a lot of the time when i join a friends+ the first person I don't know to interact with me has been a mute 
if you would replace the "t" with a "d" your name would be expensive chocolate
byebye~
:(
I was more social as a mute tbh
"Lind"
whwt amm i
Hasnt lind becomw shitty over recent years or am i mixing up brands
you're rin
no
Being mute when youre not genuinely mute is like picking a different class
I can believe you being more social when muted
I don't mind vr mutes that much, at least they can mimic stuff and be fairly entertaining
howi ofi i talk to beeppeoppe
Speaking takes weird ass effort. Too many people dont project or breathe enough
"How i often talk to people"
Desktop mutes tho? I usually block them
i hattey hrwaring myself
"I hate hearing myself"
shur
I was more courageous as a mute. I didn't mind getting in peoples faces or roleplaying, or just being physical with other people. Now I am really reserved and keep my distance from people in VR because I again I feel a lot more vulnerable and I am putting my self out their, where as a mute I was mostly just a 'character'.
ikakgien eplating vr
I know you also talked alot about getting jumped on cuz "OMG girl voice!?!?!?" And i 100% get that
like thats definitely a challenge for anyone who opens their mouth in this game
Girl? Where???
shsh
I sometimes go mute but thats only if its infinity am and i dont want to get crucified by mother or neighbors
Well yah I dealt with that a lot when I unmuted too. It's not so bad now since I am more quiet in public worlds and I deny a majority of my friend requests. But yah that definitely adds to my anxiety.
girl????
brueg heberytime i tlak to osmeoje 500 peoprew stamprrte tjem and thry ditch me
omg where 
ivivsnnt tosk oto ajyonw ritifs no fin
rin are you ok?
Rin is tired
girls in public are just annoying most of the time hot take
"Bruh every time i takk to someone 500 people [join] them and they ditch me"
oof'
oofies
bo oeornt enwht thechek o mym wo ido
Don't be mean ffs
It legit sucks being a girl in a public world that isn't some attention whore
"It isnt ok to [join?] It's no fun"
not because of them but because of the cancerous orbiters
Everyone hates the sound of their own voice, it's literally a standard human trait.
It's ok Onee-chan
Okay i cant fucking translate that
I heard some guys talking about Runescape in a public world a few days ago so I joined in and they legit said 'STFU you ethot go away'
I love you and appreciate you as a person, you have a good personality and should be proud
I played Runescape for a really long time and wanted to join in the discussion 😢
lmao
@pure hemlock Were you using an eThot avatar?
Im sorry rin you're speaking the devil's tongue now
The only avatar ive seen you in yin is exactly what i think you look like in real life
You make your own?
people really be fucking trash sometimes
I don't know what avatar you've seen me in
Because I mean it's entirely possible to be called an ethot because of the avatar #moreguysshouldactuallyusemaleavatarswhydonttheyitsweird
what of you tinink i look liek
Literally a tall blond girl in jeans and a green ass tshirt with a massive ponytail tied up
Because male anime avatar are usually shit
Sounds like an excuse
being inside a man ok buddy
vrry true
I don't remember that one
That is you @pure hemlock
I have a male model
I am really tall IRL but I am a brunette
Well it was something likethat, i dont remember colors well
Took me 3 days to fix
sooaler wht do yyriu think i loejek like
God fucking i always confuse blod and brunette
How tall?
send pics
Um. This is going to sound weird
no I wanna be cute 
lo lgisnt
5'10-5'11ish
@indigo fern You're inside a man right now. Checkmate.
😱
Taller than me lmao
no male avatar
no fucking way
But theres a guy i sit next to in AP that sounds almost exactly like you but a little older
And also has a little bit of your speaking mannerisms
who me
So whenever ithink of "rin but in real life"
Rin is stalking you
I think its that guy
Rin did not sprint all the way to florda to stalk my fucked up ass lmao
What’s wrong with Rins english
am i iwhite
What are you doing in Florida
Rin gave up on typing even tho he can type perfectly fucking fine and at 80wpm on his damn phone
Who broke Rin
shytuo up yij you giant
No
rin ate the zzz candy
Not white, unless you meannin skintone
fuck you caught me okay fine B(
The fez juice
I see
Lol hi rin
Rin you drunk
but that takesntoo much effort
@faint skiff that avatar is not an ehot i dont think
Yo is that the real Onee-chan
no im not this dead when i am
looks like yin
Yah that's me IRL
Rin probably types faster than most people in this chat now that i think about it
😳
who emlse is east asian here
Yin is that your avatar
yin youre actually a fucking giant wtf
That's what I've been using the last few weeks
It's technically a 'femboy' avatar but.. it's cute
shut up giant
😢
mean
How small are you rin
shutu op il
treat your sister nicely rin
East asian? Does 🇵🇭 count?
are pink eboys femboys?
you notice he finally speaks actual english... to insult me
Yes
That is a cute avatar yin
okies
Didn't call you boomer yet
Definitely not just because its a femboy avatar
It's sweater has the words "Fuck off" with a picture of praying hands. I love it
Wow mean
lol thats awesome, i kind of want that sweater now

thicc sweater

Are you, lint?
no I am skinny tall
Oh wow that coincidence

Does anyone know the differences between VR High and VR Low in graphic options?
2 years ago I needed to use VR Low with my old graphics card to get better performance.
I would like to know what differences there are.
Lighting, antialiasing?...
antialiasing
Pins in #development-advanced
of course i speak proper english to someone i love <3 
Ok rin, i see how it is
Ah, perfect. Many thanks Svel.
o.o
rin why do you play with hearts you naughty boy 😶
svel ilym thats why u get me
I am starting to see news that the index is going to become available
it will last a day
It'll be available for like 15-30 minutes before selling out again
a day is way too long not gonna happen
i will bet 5 vbucks
20 hours
So din, ur skater boy?
what am i i need to change my blank space

exactly. you cant
Ur supposed to bulli me


stink.
I actually take like 2 baths a day 😦

Is the change in LOD Bias from 1 to 2 very significant?
I love the options of VR Low, the antialiasing at x4 and the shadows at "High Resolution" seems obligatory in VR High.
I think I remember that antialiasing consumes many more resources than a simple rescaling.
Most people don’t set lod models on vrc at all. Lod bias I’d assume will do almost nothing
imagine playingn vrc
Imagine imagining
who
I think it would be necessary to review these graphic options in later versions.
I have a ryzen 3900x, 34 gb of ram 3600 cl 16 and a GTX 1080. I rarely play VRchat at 90 FPS, even when I am alone in a world.
When I get home I will try "VR Low", maybe the performance change will be high without much loss of quality.
Or maybe with the next generation of graphics cards we can have those continuous 90 fps, hahaha
Just Posted a Image in #vrchat-pictures
@river ibex VRChat isn’t very optimized in itself, and user-made avatars and worlds are not always very well done or optimized either. Your own avatar of use can also be a preformance factor but most often not
Actually too many people have had problens using bad performant avatars themselves
Which is interesting
hi sollar
@river ibex i think your cpu isn't up to the minimum recommendation
oh
You might be mixi it up with older amd or intel CPUs
ahhh
The 3900x used to only be beat by the 9900k
Then AMD made a handful of more powerful processors
3950, 3970, 3990
3990
But what vanilla said holds true, more LOD options would be nice but all of the graphic-lag issues are the burden of content creators to solve
i have 2700 good
This game has at least a thousand ddevelopers. 30 are working on the client, servers, networking, API and security. Everyone else is making the content
am i technically a dev then?
You should be carrying yourself around as one if you make public content such as worlds
i do yeah, have you check my world?
If you make a lot of private or personal avatars i wont rag on you as much unless you make some for other people as well
i have barely played recently so noot yettt cuz im bad and evil and mean :<
D:
😊
me too
Yes, its a 3900x from AMD. VRchat only uses 20-30% of CPU, but always 100% of GPU or 60% with only 30fps.
As I said the VR Low option will be a high improvement
damn, your eprobably like the only person who is having their GPU overloaded on vrchat
either that or for some reason its forgetting to properly eat up your CPU
everyone i know including people with 8700ks have their CPU at like 100% load and their GPUs (2080tis mind you) at like 30 or 60% when playing
jesus
90% of VRChat uses the same e-girl wolf girl model with 5000 Dynamic Bones collisions hair.
I always do "hide avatar" with this people.
Wzap boy
yeah, dynamic bone collisions are supposed to spell death for CPUs. huh
before IK wouldve caught up, but now it generally comes down to just client overhead (for some reason VRC tends to lag for everyone when world sizes approach and surpass 40 users) and world features like audio
also that hard limits were removed and they dont exist in the client for at least public content and avatars because...reasons
you have VRC's priority set to high or realtime in windows?
Yeah dynamic bones uses CPU for calculate positions, but the movement of that verts is done by the GPU
80000 polygons of hair with 5000 colliders = death
my cpu goes to 500% gpu fine
And nope, I didn't touch nothing aout priorities in the task bar
lol at least teenagers cant figure out how to work cloth
that would be the death of VRC as we know it
Is that the worst of them all? :o
hahah yeah, 2018 was the era of "cloth", was done in 1 month when people saw is a computer killer
it definitely can kill but i think at this point theres a lot of people who dont know how ot set it up
i know i dont and everyone ive asked has said that its really complicated
i want to do it for a whitediamond-esque cape at some point
hi
@hollow ingot whereas dynamic bones does maths for bones in your armature and the weighting takes care of deformations, cloth literally controls and tracks the transformations of every individual vertex in your mesh
think about that for a moment
english pls
i
Cloth = no no no no
okay then. dynamic bones add dynamic movement to bones. cloth adds dynamic movement directly onto meshes
to where i can understabd pls
wow. damn
The effect with cloth is very realistic, but costs a lot of performance
are u calling me dumb
no, im justvery fucking surprised since usually people i talk to in vrc are familiar with this stuff 0 0
even random ass people
dynamic bones do math on these things
i dont touch vrc wdym
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFio7wMTQ2k
First time I saw cloth in a game.
2009, Nvidia PhysX.
wtf
dynamic bones need to worry about the movement of 5 different bones. cloth needs to worry about the movement of 500+ verts
ya
Any clue how to fix a bug that i cant look up or down and slightly in the floor? Can't even open menu or enter a world it just stays black and plays music. Im a desktop user please help ):
cloth also isnt 100% ideal or even necessary in most situations
Look at those clothes breaking through the bullets. D:<
for things that more closely resemble links such as thicc anime hair or chain links dynamic bones would be ideal
uh, dynamic bones causes weighted vert movement though...
well yeah, but i dont think weighted verts take nearly as much overhead as completely dynamic verts
maybe
i could be wrong. i am not a game devloper. please correct me and crucify me if i am mistaken.
i do know that working with dynbones in a single thread is not great
but based off of pure intuition cloth has to be a fuck of a lot worse. i know the VRCSDK isnt the most reliable source for it, but IIRC the very poor ceiling for cloth components was 200 triangles
but thats a unity restriction
wtf nerds
going off of oculus's old devblog numbers and even bigger bullshit intuition that implies that the very poor limits for avatars creates a soft cap of 10 very poor avatars in a room if you want to keep frames, that is a pretty fucking big restriction on cloth and says a lot about how performant it is if true
but of course, i could be wrong. i am notagamedevloper.pleasecorrectandcrucifymeifiammistakeniwanttolearn.
also i should really just be answering these questions with the profiler anyway but im too busy fucking around in blender lmfaoo
nnenrrnebrrnenenrrebenrnd
holy fuck im trying my best not to laugh really hard at that
i cant read that
Man I wish oculus, or, anyone really, would make a better standalone headset with more powerful specs to run vrc
wait 10 years
or like two
I feel it’s already possible just put the hardware in back to avoid front heavy
Quest ruined me
I need powerful standalone
I can’t go back
the way that magic leap does it is by having the hardware in a small satchel around your waist
i can say that there are enough techs out there to make a portable vr that can run vrc
though it will heavily be customized and trial and error
that would also solve the exponentially larger volume and weight of cooling for higher-powered hardware
i feel like thats the real reason why the quest cant use a stronger mobile chip when they exist anyway
or at least, someone earlier suggested that
quest is really good as a standalone experience i agree
I used a rift classic for 2 years but borrowed a quest for 2 days
got to use it for beat saber and another really weird university tech demo
its a very fucking nice headset
It’s hard to go back to being wired
did you try the third party solutions for streaming?

As soon as standalone headsets are as good as 2018 pc’s it will be good enough. No need to catch up to pc’s
hey, PCs are gonna develop too during that time you know >~<
ahh i think i get it now, so you're saying you are liking the portable feelings for quest vr?
then again, with how fucking tightly were packing shit onto dies i think we may actually hit the point where the next logical step would be quantum processing. in which case, maybe
Yes that’s what I’m saying. I don’t think it’s necessary to “be as good as” pc’s. Just be as good as Pc’s are now at some point in the future
thats...also a good point.
yeah don't do that here
we can do quite a lot with current PCs. find a cooling solution and it's GG
standalone VR for everyone.
maybe oculus just needs to upgrade their hardware in the future possibly
the whole whatthefuckisitcalled weird ass cooler thats coming to PCs looks nice'
but the whole problem is making it compact
could be a thing yeah
we can have it built into the headset, in satchels or backpacks or other person-mounted solutions, or if streaming gets really good, simple console boxes to lay on the side
you mean like how ready player one does it?
which... a satchel could also be if you made it wireless
kinda
rn tho the next best thing to the full pCVR experience with as much cordlessness as possible is cable bungees
probably
The only deal breaker for me on Quest was the 2 hour battery. Gonna need longer than that chief
what battery does it use? double A's?
it's rechargable
it gets to be rechargable since its basically a console, unlike vive wands and
can i talk about this? why do controllers and pucks have built-in batteries instead of swappable ones like normal?
how does it recharge
even swappable propreitary rechargable batteries would be nice
If Quest was exactly as it is now but with like a 8 hour battery I’d consider it amazing even without proper VRChat support
through the same USB-C cord it came with in combination with a proprietary AC adapter
i guess the only thing then is belt-mounted battery packs
Oh, huh the quest doesn't sound that bad then
its a really good experience
okay just like forget that vrchat exists for a moment
then think about what the quest is
its an amazing headset and any notion that it isnt is 100% generated from a group of angry vrchatters who are upset that they have to play nice with crossplay users
I did try wireless pc streaming but it was early on and it was kinda bad over my router. Positional latency was pretty sick/inducing. Rotational latency was covered due to time warp didn’t notice it at all
But hands were clearly movement delayed as was head swaying
Only malice for quest users is due to having avatars hidden by default iirc
Not just hidden by default. No one. Like, no one, uploads an android model
not necessarily quest users, there's just an overwhelmingly prevalent meme in vrc circles that the quest is a trash piece of hardware when it's probably the greatest thing since the switch
You won’t see anyone
since it's basically nintendo labo done right lmao
If it had a longer battery it would be more hype than switch to me
2 hour battery is painful to me
ive made a decisiion
I feel people will always look down on hardware that is weaker, regardless of the goal it's trying to achieve
i think im going to individually retopo all of my quest avatars instead of making another base to roll with them
Quest has the whole PCMR people trashing it because it’s a console
it would make sense. at 5-10k tri mesh it doesnt take that much time to re-do weighting, UVs, and shape keys, and I can just rebake textures from the PC mesh
like making an entirely separate base system for just that isnt worth it
Also uploading Android models is discouraged since you can't see the final result and your rarely see people who will see the final result
Android vrcSDK is what you see is what you get
i usually upload the mobile version first on PC to make sure it's working fine. then i overwrite that and then switch the platform to andorid
Not sure what the issue is
its the best bet i got. only other issue then is actually seeing how it would perform in game, which the best option i would have as someone who only owns a PC is the profiler and a lot of shitty guesswork
@desert stratus did i show you my recently quest avatar? i thought i did
I did tons of android models before I used quest they all worked as expected when I tried it
👌
the only time i made a big oopsie woopsie in my pants with quest is when i discovered that if the rig you use for quest is even slightly deviant from the PC rig then it straight up T-poses
The only issue is remembering to keep quest version up to date if you change the skeleton structure
yeah exacctly that
thats easy
Can't trust the editor for seeing if the model works, but yeah uploading it as a PC avatar is the only way
quest vr is going to sold out soon as well, and i wanted to get one soon
In blender I just have two meshes parented to the same armature only one armature and export independently
thats fucking clever
@desert stratus source for cloth being more performance heavy?
You can see it in the profiler as well as unity just straight up crashing if you overdo it or cause impossible geometry
I've used cloth extensively and never crashed
Never had any friends telling me that i drop their fps either
With 1500 vertices cloth
Well that's a good number so I wouldn't expect lag from that
The limits are arbitrary, it used to be 500.
I started to notice drop in performance at 5k
Trying to get to 200 for cloth is not worth it imo. Better to just use dyn bones at that point
I want proof of that
20 dyn bone for a skirt
Vs 200 vertices skirt
Both with 2 capsule colliders in the legs
My pc version is 32K tris and my Quest one is 10K
@vocal shard wow i have to test that sometimes. For skirts.
I really can’t bare to target lower than 10K
20 bones for a skirt is a lot but testing the direct comparison is interesting
I love using cloth
Cloth is the only vrc thing that crashes me
Used it so much in 2018 and shared a lot of stuff in the Avatar channel
@vocal shard do you know if it works for multi meshes? all at once
like ribbons and scarf
Got so many dms to help
Cloth ONLY works as a separate mesh
You need a separate mesh
My main issue with cloth is how it's desynced but I usually don't splurge much. Need to try cloth on final IK at least
One cloth components per mesh
ohh
Yeah cloth is meant for things that don’t need syncing
If you avoid colliders sync isn’t an issue
Only time I want cloth is for dresses which need colliders
That's good because I throw em on like candy
Especially if you compare them to dyn bone colliders
I feel like a shader can do more efficient cloth
Yeah but that's voodoo
I made removable panties with cloth 😳

wowie
👀

Anyone know if a user called devil. has a discord account?
Probably?
When you send an invite request to someone in an invite only world and they're not the instance owner, does the request get forwarded to the owner?
Nope
It says people with blue status automatically accept invites but there are times when requesting from a blue status friend that nothing happens or it takes a bit
I feel lied to
If they aren't the instance owner, you can't join unless it's invite+
Yes, it does automatically accept invites, but if said invite cannot be accepted, nothing will happen
It's pretty fucking dumb that invites cannot be forwarded to the instance owner, but here we are. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
uhm im totally new to vrchat but i cant seem to click on people to copy the avatar
Clone avatar can be disabled
You cant clone private avatars which many people use
As long as the message is forwarded properly “Adeon Writer is requesting that Trolling McTrollface be invited” and as long as they are allowed in the instance (it’s invite only, not friends or friends+) it should be fine. I don’t think non-friends should be able to get into friends only instances by any means
Friends+ doesn't even require a request
Personally, I think this should work even in friends only
After all, it is entirely up to the owner of the instance whether they want to let that person in or not
I guess
Right now it's just kinda stupid because you get a message telling you to ask the instance owner to invite said person, but the instance owner can't actually invite that person unless those two are friends
Well in general I don’t think you should be able to invite anyone who isn’t your friend. That would enable spam
Ofc not, but then that message is pretty much useless
Why would it tell me that if that's most likely not possible to begin with
It is better than not having the message
And there is the option of moving to friends + or public
Point being: Forwarding the invite to the owner should absolutely be a thing
Speaking of which, inviting people in invite+ worlds should to
Instance owner kinda decided who they wanted when they made it friends only. But I do agree
Still, there's no harm in that and if you don't accept any requests, only friends will be able to join
As long as it’s only forwarded if the friend of the instance owner chooses to forward it along I think it’s safe
Pretty much what I would expect the "Ok" button to do
Friends+ quickly grows into stupidly big lobbies with lots of clients, crashers, forced avatars, etc
So me no like them
Yeah maybe change buttons to request/ignore for readability
Friends+ is a more filtered experience since everyone in the instance is friends with someone
So the odds of that being the case are significantly lower compared to public where anyone can join whenever they want
At the moment there is only one button, “ok” it does nothing but is also the only option
There's three buttons
"Ok", "Cancel" I think, both do the same, and "Block"
@Xandi I dunno what kind of friends you have, but in my 558 hours of playing VRChat, I literally never had that happen to me whatsoever
Depends on your circles. It only takes one friend who has a rowdy crowd following them
In lots of cases that is me. If I join your friends+ world, it’s the calm before the storm.
Huh
So happy to get Ask Me status
I just have custom animations set to off for everyone
Yeop
Has saved me a ton
(Rides invisible skateboard)
I have them on for known users and trusted users though
I don't and I haven't run into that many big inconveniences
The white names have been extra cringe today.
“Adeon why are you sliding everywhere”
Adeon: :(
I keep them off too cause The people I see with crashers and clients are often known or trusted
So it’s off for everyone for me
Nah, they usually wont crash.
You know people can just force kick you if they want right?
The problem now is the clients.
If your friends+ ends up in crashers then your friends need to do some list cleaning

You can end up getting kicked or a portal dropped on you and that's inevitable.
There’s always that one friend
Clients aren't bad, its just some of the people who use them.
Friends+ is the same as public it just isn’t listed on the directory. The whole dang game can join as long as someone they know is in. It’s not only “friends of friends” as it says. It’s any degree of friends of friends of friends
Surely you can’t get a portal dropped on you, or can clients override that?
I still think clients are wholly unnecessary, even for QoL changes
It is friends of friends, just not "Friends of your friends"
clients can override that
Hmm no
@worldly swan
It should be an infinite friends of friends, its the best way to meet new people imo
If you read the whole description I believe it does say something like it’s “you can join if you are a friend of a user in the world
Also good to know
Mods are what allows you to combat other people's malicious stuff
Something that the game should be able to do on its own but ouch
Clients can override anything
yes
Can’t be kicked, can’t be blocked, force steal avatars, force kick, anything
Noclip, speed hacks, teleports
Surely blocking is user side
Clients still prevent it somehow
Damn
almost every client has a IP puller as well. Which isn't illegal, but its a little eh.
Yeah it sounds like a thing clients could override. Behind the scenes friends + is just public that isn’t listed on the directory
Clients can even force join invite worlds without an invite
There’s no special authentication
Im good
Still against the ToS
Being always bad is kinda irrlelvent. Always banable is all that matters
Having a client is like conceal carry, I usually lost trust in the people that use them
The quality of life stuff and basic stuff is chill, all depends on who uses it
Yes it is against the ToS but people are still gonna have them.
Every lobby I joined today at least 2-4 people had a client of some sort.
“But I didn’t do anything wrong with it” my butt, you broke tos that’s enough to warrant a ban lol
Right just having it is enough
I generally treat people telling me they have client as TMI or just a bizarre flex
The thing is, is you aren't able to play a game where nobody cheats.
You can report someone with a client but they usually will not end up banned.
Even if they get banned it's probs just a temp ban
Yea I mean friends will tell me about clients in private worlds but never use it or mention it anywhere public
Some clients I can see as being fine in the same way that for example optifine in minecraft is fine, although most are not fine
Just depends on who uses it
Exactly.
Yeah
Just the main problem is you dont know what someones client can do. They can claim its only for something like global dynamic bones and then they rip your avatar or something
Well ripping avi's can happen either way.
If it’s a QOL thing such as the not going through portals thing I’ve heard about or maybe some kind of FPS improver I can’t see an issue personally, but things like fly or teleport are more abusive
People can just make a exact replica which is even worst.
Mhmm
I usually just use game rips when in publics so ripping avatars doesnt matter much to me
most people dont rip avatars because they are not stupid
Theres always anticheats to detect and ban but then people will make undetectable clients cause anticheats aren’t perfect and always have loopholes
That's bold of you to assume that VRChat has any sort of anti cheat
Most people don’t rip avatars because they respect the time and effort that went into them
Especially trusted users.
I never said it did Sasha
Anyone know where I can find a male pikachu avatar? I only found a female one.
theres a very large amount of people injecting malicious code in to their avatars so they either hijack your unity assets or straight up destroy your unity
I thought Pikachu is Pikachu
How do you tell a Pikachu’s gender
advantages of quest
Tail is different on the female
@worldly swan I meant from the malicious kind of people
Yes
Female has a tail indent
Ik
those people dont really have much respect for anyone but themselves
I see
Yes but thats just how life is.
I was opening up Unity and it crashed my entire PC spamming windows, could that have been something injected into something I had imported?
Thanks
My friends gave me weird asset packs so guess one of them might’ve been something bad
@coarse chasm most definitely
@coarse chasm Dont use unity packages without checking the content first
that or memory leak
Is it in game or? Im new to the game...
I see
you answered you own question lmao
Lol
@peak vale No sorry I sent you a 3D model to make your own avatar, to find one in game I would search for "pokemon" in the world search in hopes of finding the avatar
Ok
Oki
$500? Wow
scratch avatars are worth that kind of money
making avatars that are worth 500 takes years of practice and patience so he definitely deserves it
He made most of the major avatars for LC and some of the other major groups. But I could get you a pikachu avatar for nothing, I have a few friends who do avatars for free.
Ok kitten
just pm what you would like
Well if its just a port its really quite easy
I knew a world that might have one but I think it got privatised
tree fitty
@rose sequoia whats LC if you dont mind me asking?
Pmed @rose sequoia
Wait, WHAT?! Now hijacking the game is not enough for the hackers, so they f*ck up your Unity and SDK too?
Yee
Downloading a virus is of your own volition, you should check any sort of zipped filed you download. Unity packages included.
Kitten?
Yeah sorry I was making dinner!
Generally you shouldn't use unity packages that arn't made by friends but, if you do, you should make sure there are no file extensions that are not needed. For example you only need 3D meshes (.fbx, .dae, .obj , ect.) and textures (.png, .psd, .jpg, ect.)
Its okay
Wasnt Laughing Coffin bad? I never keep up with VRC drama
@Scionzenos ^ that, excluding things from the Unity Asset Store and Booth though
I have no idea what that is but eyy lol
They are a VRC gang
ahh thats sad
SAO wannabes by the sound of it
older members know who they are
so they are just shitty kitbashed crasher avatars?
They were a group of people that would go around and wreak havoc on people.
They had avatars that could fry graphic cards.
Even some could completely destroy a computer.
That is a BS, isn't it?
Idk what they did .
My BS alarm is on highest defcon.
But they had a recording of a kid crying on discord saying they messed up his computer.
If an avatar kills your PC, odds are high that your PC was likely on its last leg already
Im not sure what the full story was.
I always found the whole " I will fry your pc" claim kinda unrealistic. I dont think you can let a gpu destroy itself before it shuts down for safety reasons
You're right, you really can't
hi
Yeah while unity packages can be trusted from some sites its usually good practice to check them all, its rather quick as things that shouldnt be there are pretty obvious
I never heard that saying. Ive only heard the saying "Fry your router." which can be done.
Thermal throttling will stop any temp based fry attempts.
yeah
Well let's just assume that anything from the Unity Asset Store, especially paid things, all include things that you actually need
Including scripts for various reasons
And safety shut down is the last ditch, but the throttling should handle it, provided you have right cooling and keep it in good shape.
I mean I could see an unity package bluescreening your pc but thats as far as that can go besides straight up viruses and miners
Not everyone has that though
Stuff hidden in unity packages have more access to your computer than some rando in a vrchat world

rof's home is totally screwed up
nothing work
everyone is robot
and no any video working now
wary nice
😦
And you should also never mention it here
Blue screen is not a hard think to do - just mess with something in RAM bad enough to make it take the system with itself while crashing.
its difficult to encourage people to stay away from the site if we cant talk about it
The point of that rule is to not raise awareness to a site everyone already knows about
But hey, wasn't my idea to make it like that
I used it but i’m new so didn’t know it was bad

its kind of unavoidable, especially because of how offten you see new people trying to upload vrcm avatars in the help channels
My BT driver in laptop sometimes does a blooper, where it locks up in start up or shut down of the transreciever and it takes down windows.
Its one of the first results you get when you look up "vrchat avatars". It would be better to talk against it instead of pretend it doesnt exist
you are? why?
Really but some parts of making an avatar could be really hard and scary to a total newbie. I can just imagine, how jaws of all those newbies dropped, when they asked how to make avatars and I listed the whole process.
well things are just not easy sometimes. Kitbashing is really simple once you understand what the process is
its overwhealming at first but what isnt nowadays
really having the motivation is all you need
and understanding that you wont get far if you just wait for people to spoonfeed you answers
Well, kitbashing is like a building from Lego
more or less when you learn it. But I meant the situation, when they ask about completely custom models.
Anyways, imma nyom to sleep now
But before that
@languid beacon Boop, are you available for DM's?
well even for people that dont know anything about modeling all you need to know is that the process is very similar to the stuff that people get payed for in companies so it cant be an easy process
Yeah.
Why can other people force my avatar to change to one which crashes me? It's annoying, I had to restart twice (and use the website to reset the avatar)
because this games security is more than lacking
i believe it exploits a world's ability to change ur avatar if i remember correctly
Yes @covert blade
Sounds likely, some dumb RPC-call triggery thingy message sent to all avatars
Speaking of which, I think it would be better if users could decide if they trusted other peoples worlds, or if every avatar-change should be done manually
the devs wont do anything about it anytime soon probably
no matter how easy your suggestion is to implement they probably wont do it
guessing servers just died im getting a spam failed to connect to vrchat
everytime the screen fades away it just hits me with the big ol' no u and sends me back to another screen of failed to connect
Is there a way to make the game fullscreen desktop?
what do you mean
Not windowed
Real fullscreen? Maybe alt+enter, otherwise you need to hold ctrl (or was it shift?) when starting VRC and change the Unity launch settings
I use borderless windowed
Alt enter worked
Cool
works just fine
i did alt enter but there is a small black bar at the bottom of the screen ^_^ what fun
Probably something like the ratio being off after it attempts to compensate for the windows task bar? Try the launch settings if it's important
I’ve been waiting four months now for an index. If they go out of sale before I can order one on Monday, I’m giving up and getting a quest instead
Quest?
Oculus Quest, its an entirely mobile VR headset
Quest isn’t even Pc, and it’s so limited
Adeon has used the quest already and knows what it's like. No need to convince them otherwise
And I can understand it to a degree. The option to use the quest as both stand alone and PC is nice
It's all where your priorities are in a device
People misunderstand what the purpose of the quest is, obviously if you want the best visuals and framerate you wouldnt go for the mobile headset.
But yeah with the PC link the headset is in a much better spot imo
Why I still recommend rift S over quest with link for pure PC experience
@flint stirrup pwankwake
Reee
g'day mate
I really hate being socially awkward... people try to interact with me and I just... I freeze up... I don't know how to respond, and any way I feel like I COULD respond, I'd wind up just messing it up and people start laughing at me. And not in the good way...
You could try just waving ”Hi” to them @hidden locust
I could... if I had a VR setup. I'm on PC with KB/M
Honestly, it's been a mental struggle and a half not to just get a credit card and outright buy a VR headset and upgrade my computer enough to have it run well...
Ah I see.
I currently have a worn Rift (CV1) and I want to buy a new VR HMD but I can’t choose and I want to buy a new pc/parts
rifts s or index
Yeah... I'm about there as well. My computer is in desperate need of an upgrade...
desperately need a new CPU
Yeah well I would buy a Rift S if they had headphones for it, and the Index is just a bit much for what I want to play etc, and my computer is not great- vr compatible but not great
There are some PSVR headphones that clip onto the headband. They work well for the rift S and feel similar to cv1
Yeah, my graphics card is sub-par, my CPU is crap... everything else is okay.
Plus the room I have is an L shape and the longside has a slanted cealing.. so setting up lighthouses optimally seems almost impossible
I feel like anything else wouldn't be nearly as upgrade worthy
I just got a 200$ dollar laptop.
Yeah I know about the Mantis headphones- I just haven’t seen enough about them to feel comfortable with them plus I believe when I looked on amazon they did not ship to my country :(
But yeah. Minimum graphics card is looking for a GTX 970
Ah. Yeah I've just been using normal headphones over my rift s
Im working on upgrading and stuff.
I feel like that’d be too clunky for me. I am picky enough about fit and comfort as is
My graphics card may be a GeForce GTX 1050, but it's stupidly underpowered from what other specs I could have gotten...
VR doesn't take nearly as much power as people imagine
It has a little less than 2 gigs of VRAM
I started with a GTX 1050 ti
I wish there were a proper compatibility checker other than Steam's crappy version...
then upgraded to an Rx 580 which is still mid tier
I have an RX 480 8GB and an i5 7600k
My CPU is an AMD FX-4300 Quad running on 3.8 GHz per core.
How much was the core?
I forget.
O.
My roommate bought this rig for me about 6 years ago. 400 bucks.
lol my cpu fucking died so I had to swap in the only one I had on hand: i3 processor
still suffering but it's okay
Probably 4 cores on the fx-4300 since you wrote ”Quad”?
it's become an issue when I have too many programs on at once
Yo my laptop trash it only got 1.1 ghz
when i bought it said it would have more
So i got scammed
laptops be like that
Well laptops- especially older ones or lower perfoemance ones don’t run high clocks
Did you build your pc?
yeah
It could also be downclocking due to heat @vocal shard
Its not hot.
Checked temps?
No How do i check?
Aaaaaaaaa like any tool you prefer
There are many applications that can show temperatures
Like?
I mean I know MSI Afterburner is pretty good for graphicscard info
But for cpu I am not sure what to recommend
O.
I have only recently used and still use SpeedFan
Hey all 😄
But it seems to crash for me fairly often for whatever reason
I haven’t bothered looking for a fix but yeah that’s why I dunno if I can recommend it
So what if you have an extremely personal question, that you don't feel comfortable emailing the team about.. Is there a way I can contact a mod about my question? Its kind of private 😛
Yo im downloading speedfan.
Aight
It may seem weird cuz it’s a bit not super user friendly (I think) but there should be plenty of youtube videos
Belatedly, yeah. 4 cores.
Ok.
Hence Quad
@pastel imp What's the difference? A team member is gonna see it anyway
True, but the difference is one will see it, vs possibly hundreds ;p
I just wanted a private chat with one '
.
i wanna private chat with system too c;
Guys I can finally go to drinking parties in vrc 
Ur young childish boi is now 19
Hek yeah
canadian btw
Bruh
Im selling accounts for sites dm if intrested.
I want the full body experience of valve index but also the portableness and world development of quest. Can’t decide what I want to do more. Quest dev would benefit others more. Index would benefit me more
@vocal shard do any of the accounts have the name Original?
Quest dev looks fun tho
?
Quit talking so fast man space it out one word at a time
Yeah.
Most names that are ”simple” are taken
Can someone help me..? I'm having model troubles..
Wouldn’t it be better to ask in #avatars-2-general ?
It keeps saying I need to put in VRC_Avatar_Descriptor on my avatar.. And I did, and it still won't work..
I dunno..
Ask in the proper channel and everyone will be happy
I'm scared I'm not gonna get any replies.. -w-''
@sharp trout when I search up the name it doesn’t come up though ;;
But somehow it’s “taken”
No idea how that works but oh well
As opposed asking in this channel which will get replies, but they'll just say to ask in the other channel xD
Search it up where?
Yup..
With a zero?
It’s so sus
But I gotta say, not a very original name
If it was I should be able to find the person
I can't tell 0 from 0 they look exactly the same
Woah never heard that before
O - 0
@languid beacon they do in VRV but I rather have the O tbh
One is not as wide
*VRC
Depends on your font
Well that’s in-game
Yeah
There's a dude that owns the name Adeon, which I used to own, and he never uses it. It makes me sadface
😢
they cleared unused names and i didn't renew mine quick enough, someone else got it first
OWO
@languid beacon WHEN
And some ask if it’s spelt like that because ”Vanilla” was taken, but no that’s not it
@hollow breach June 8 2017
Oh lmao I joined VRC Dec 2017
The search is pretty busted for finding specific names
I'll check it for you
@deft girder I’d appreciate that thanks
They did it at the same time literally every internet service was sending out spam to agree to a new TOS or become deleted, and it got lost in the spam, so RIP VRC account
so unless some new UK law happens that makes everyone do that again, I doubt it will happen again
@hallow trout Are you still having connection issues? I'm having the same problem and it's not computer specific.
oh no
Wish VRC was for PSVR also
For anyone interested in purchasing a valve index, those already on the email list are seeing "on email list" button changed to "Coming Soon" just FYI
It no longer appears possible to get on the email list if you weren't already
I'm guessing they'll send out emails with buy links before the actual store page becomes active
Any advice on what vr headset to get? I was thinking Oculus Rift S but it's hard to find it in stock lol
@merry mesa it seems to have stopped now
i mean depending on ur budget, but yes the oculus rift s is fine @cosmic shore
the rift s is a good choice if your on a budget and have limited space
if u have the funds, the index comes back in stock monday
Hi guys
cool, thanks :)
This wait period to upload the avatar is taking so long because I don’t have friends.
I have decided to sit in a empty world for the next 20 hours
Hey! Is there anyone that can publish a model for me?
@maiden sand why don’t you try yourself?
@vital reef Not enough storage space
Dang
Yeah...
Delete useless stuff to make more space then
Not that easy


it's crazy how people on twitter are only just now realizing that moderation doesn't work lol
It only worked early 2017 and before
When only 50 people played and the "call moderator" button actually did something
well most people still don't seem to realize that the email/ticket support is almost surefire
at least in my experience
it still feels like half the people who write emails/tickets just put
"halp i got hacked heres their name"
I've had one situation where an email with vid and/or pics didn't lead to anything and it was a ban evader
and complain why it didnt do anything
Vrchat mods should be able to read my mind and ban the appropriate offenders
Dead game anyway lmao
like with all these tiddy avatars people have been complaining about, if you just report with screenshot and output log and nothing is done, it seems pretty clear that it means it ISN'T deemed a violation of the comm. guidelines
There are no rules anymore
Anyone can do anything they want and they won't be banned for months, if they even get banned
what
i definitely have capped a few racists, even recently. just took video
the one case where it didn't stick was the evader, but out of those they're the only user I even know that evaded. Not everyone is "smart" enough to get a client, vpn, etc.
Like their response time has always been less than a week
hes just doing the doomer talk thing
I kinda wish I wasn't so damn lazy and had a computer capable of recording
For now, I'll use one as the excuse for the other
Obviously record a lens with your cellphone
Cant the quest take screens?
PS2 20th year anniversary
Since March 4th 2000 ✨
download a better childhood
that is pretty sad
I keep getting "Failed to connect to VRChat" in a loop. any idea how to fix this?
already reinstalled it and removed local data folder
are u using vr or desktop
@hollow sluice how do Questies take screenshots?
