At the very bottom you have desktop mutes

#

you're cute

desert stratus
#

Am i the only one who finds everyone entertaining

twin fractal
#

muted are cute

pale timber
#

no un nkt

slate verge
#

@desert stratus not the only one, i find everyone else fascinating and fun except for crashers and client users

twin fractal
#

and generally inoffensive for obvious reasons

desert stratus
#

Like fuck this ranking shit if someone isnt entertaining enough then mess with them or join a different lobby

half shadow
#

Is it just me or did my mind say

astral granite
#

mutes are cute

half shadow

thats scary

vocal shard
#

No thanks

twin fractal
#

no I like the mix

desert stratus
#

"I find everyone entertaining but no ine pays attention to me"

pure hemlock
#

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

pale timber
#

ith horing no fun

slate verge
#

i actually know someone who is a 40 year old in a loli avatar

desert stratus
#

"I havent played vrchat in two months, it boring no fun"

pure hemlock
#

I feel bad since it's easy for mutes to get ignored

twin fractal
#

just that some groups tend to be more problematic ime

vocal shard
#

Don't be mute then xd

pale timber
#

hiw okd am i

pure hemlock
#

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

desert stratus
#

Who cares

vocal shard
#

No excuses

desert stratus
#

Mutes are cool

pale timber
#

svebn whenn i tajkl no jen does

desert stratus
#

So are people

slate verge
#

i actually started off mute, but i'm talkative now.

twin fractal
#

muted are cool

vocal shard
#

Same

pale timber
#

so io dni itouch im heyaees

pure hemlock
#

I was mute for my first 450 hours or so

desert stratus
#

The only not cool peoplearent mutes, theyre just simply not cool

pale timber
#

imm notk nmutre

desert stratus
#

"svel when i talk no one does, so i ddont (talk much here?)"

twin fractal
#

desert stratus
#

"Im not mute"

pure hemlock
#

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.

vocal shard
#

That's fine tho

desert stratus
#

The only frustration with being mute begins and ends with said muted

twin fractal
#

I'm mute 30% of the time

slate verge
#

i go quiet when i see someone i don't know immediately even though its probably some one else's friends in the room

desert stratus
#

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

twin fractal
#

true but muted still interact

faint skiff
#

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.

pale timber
#

ieither wayy nocoen rpayss attneoton to me so oit soesn tmagterr gmame si boring

pure hemlock
#

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.

desert stratus
#

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

twin fractal
#

in fact long term mutes are usually more interactive than most

pale timber
#

sooslr csn o lay iwtih u ten

slate verge
#

@faint skiff i can understand that frustration.

trail bane

oh god I just had a stress attack

pale timber

desert stratus
#

I get not wanting to interact with mutes, nothing wrong with that

vocal shard
#

Why

slate verge
#

its even worse when they don't respond with anything back when they could've with emoji's and emotes

pure hemlock
#

I think it's a bit unempathetic but to each their own

desert stratus
#

Being mute when youre not genuinely mute is like picking a different class

#

I can believe you being more social when muted

vocal shard
#

I don't mind vr mutes that much, at least they can mimic stuff and be fairly entertaining

pale timber
#

howi ofi i talk to beeppeoppe

desert stratus
#

Speaking takes weird ass effort. Too many people dont project or breathe enough

#

"How i often talk to people"

vocal shard
#

Desktop mutes tho? I usually block them

pale timber

desert stratus

"I hate hearing myself"

pale timber
#

shur

pure hemlock
#

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'.

I know you also talked alot about getting jumped on cuz "OMG girl voice!?!?!?" And i 100% get that

vocal shard
#

Girl? Where???

twin fractal
#

shsh

desert stratus
#

I sometimes go mute but thats only if its infinity am and i dont want to get crucified by mother or neighbors

pure hemlock
#

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.

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?...

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.

languid beacon
#

Most people don’t set lod models on vrc at all. Lod bias I’d assume will do almost nothing

pale timber
#

imagine playingn vrc

languid beacon
#

Imagine imagining

pale timber
#

who

river ibex
#

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

trail bane
sharp trout
#

@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

desert stratus
#

Actually too many people have had problens using bad performant avatars themselves

#

Which is interesting

pale timber
#

hi sollar

slate verge
#

@river ibex i think your cpu isn't up to the minimum recommendation

desert stratus
#

Hi

#

Lol funny

#

It is, its a goddamn 3900x

slate verge
#

oh

desert stratus
#

You might be mixi it up with older amd or intel CPUs

slate verge
#

ahhh

desert stratus
#

The 3900x used to only be beat by the 9900k

#

Then AMD made a handful of more powerful processors

#

3950, 3970, 3990

scarlet flare
#

3990

desert stratus
#

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

pale timber
#

i have 2700 good

desert stratus
#

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

slate verge
#

am i technically a dev then?

desert stratus
#

You should be carrying yourself around as one if you make public content such as worlds

slate verge
#

i do yeah, have you check my world?

desert stratus
#

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 :<

slate verge
#

D:

desert stratus
#

Hhhhh i will tho

#

I promised anyway

slate verge
#

😊

pale timber
#

me too

river ibex
#

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

desert stratus
#

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

river ibex
#

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.

unkempt spoke
#

Wzap boy

desert stratus
#

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?

river ibex
#

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

pale timber
#

my cpu goes to 500% gpu fine

river ibex
#

And nope, I didn't touch nothing aout priorities in the task bar

desert stratus
#

lol at least teenagers cant figure out how to work cloth

#

that would be the death of VRC as we know it

hollow ingot
#

Is that the worst of them all? :o

river ibex
#

hahah yeah, 2018 was the era of "cloth", was done in 1 month when people saw is a computer killer

desert stratus
#

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

pale timber
#

hi

desert stratus
#

@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

pale timber
#

english pls

desert stratus
#

i

river ibex
#

Cloth = no no no no

desert stratus
#

okay then. dynamic bones add dynamic movement to bones. cloth adds dynamic movement directly onto meshes

pale timber
#

to where i can understabd pls

desert stratus
#

wow. damn

river ibex
#

The effect with cloth is very realistic, but costs a lot of performance

pale timber
#

are u calling me dumb

desert stratus
#

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

pale timber
#

i dont touch vrc wdym

desert stratus
#

cloth does math on these things

river ibex
pale timber
#

wtf

desert stratus
#

dynamic bones need to worry about the movement of 5 different bones. cloth needs to worry about the movement of 500+ verts

pale timber
#

ya

mossy zenith
#

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 ):

desert stratus
#

cloth also isnt 100% ideal or even necessary in most situations

river ibex
#

Look at those clothes breaking through the bullets. D:<

desert stratus
#

for things that more closely resemble links such as thicc anime hair or chain links dynamic bones would be ideal

scarlet flare
#

uh, dynamic bones causes weighted vert movement though...

desert stratus
#

well yeah, but i dont think weighted verts take nearly as much overhead as completely dynamic verts

scarlet flare
#

maybe

desert stratus
#

i could be wrong. i am not a game devloper. please correct me and crucify me if i am mistaken.

scarlet flare
#

i do know that working with dynbones in a single thread is not great

desert stratus
#

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

scarlet flare
#

but thats a unity restriction

pale timber
#

wtf nerds

desert stratus
#

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

holy fuck im trying my best not to laugh really hard at that

pale timber
#

i cant read that

languid beacon
#

Man I wish oculus, or, anyone really, would make a better standalone headset with more powerful specs to run vrc

pale timber
#

wait 10 years

pseudo basalt
#

or like two

languid beacon
#

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

desert stratus
#

the way that magic leap does it is by having the hardware in a small satchel around your waist

slate verge
#

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

desert stratus
#

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

slate verge
#

yeah

#

@languid beacon do you originally use quest? or why did you mentioned that.

desert stratus
#

quest is really good as a standalone experience i agree

languid beacon
#

I used a rift classic for 2 years but borrowed a quest for 2 days

desert stratus
#

got to use it for beat saber and another really weird university tech demo

#

its a very fucking nice headset

languid beacon
#

It’s hard to go back to being wired

ruby needle
#

did you try the third party solutions for streaming?

slate verge
languid beacon
#

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

desert stratus
#

hey, PCs are gonna develop too during that time you know >~<

slate verge
#

ahh i think i get it now, so you're saying you are liking the portable feelings for quest vr?

desert stratus
#

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

languid beacon
#

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.

slate verge
#

yeah don't do that here

desert stratus
#

we can do quite a lot with current PCs. find a cooling solution and it's GG

#

standalone VR for everyone.

slate verge
#

maybe oculus just needs to upgrade their hardware in the future possibly

desert stratus
#

the whole whatthefuckisitcalled weird ass cooler thats coming to PCs looks nice'

#

but the whole problem is making it compact

slate verge
#

could be a thing yeah

desert stratus
#

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

slate verge
#

you mean like how ready player one does it?

desert stratus
#

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

#

The only deal breaker for me on Quest was the 2 hour battery. Gonna need longer than that chief

slate verge
#

what battery does it use? double A's?

desert stratus
#

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?

slate verge
#

how does it recharge

desert stratus
#

even swappable propreitary rechargable batteries would be nice

languid beacon
#

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

desert stratus
#

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

slate verge
#

Oh, huh the quest doesn't sound that bad then

desert stratus
#

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

languid beacon
#

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

frosty veldt
#

Only malice for quest users is due to having avatars hidden by default iirc

languid beacon
#

Not just hidden by default. No one. Like, no one, uploads an android model

desert stratus
#

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

languid beacon
#

You won’t see anyone

desert stratus
#

since it's basically nintendo labo done right lmao

languid beacon
#

If it had a longer battery it would be more hype than switch to me

#

2 hour battery is painful to me

desert stratus
#

ive made a decisiion

frosty veldt
#

I feel people will always look down on hardware that is weaker, regardless of the goal it's trying to achieve

desert stratus
#

i think im going to individually retopo all of my quest avatars instead of making another base to roll with them

languid beacon
#

Quest has the whole PCMR people trashing it because it’s a console

desert stratus
#

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

frosty veldt
#

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

languid beacon
#

Android vrcSDK is what you see is what you get

desert stratus
#

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

languid beacon
#

Not sure what the issue is

desert stratus
#

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

slate verge
#

@desert stratus did i show you my recently quest avatar? i thought i did

languid beacon
#

I did tons of android models before I used quest they all worked as expected when I tried it

desert stratus
#

mhm

#

i think you did...

slate verge
#

👌

desert stratus
#

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

languid beacon
#

The only issue is remembering to keep quest version up to date if you change the skeleton structure

desert stratus
#

yeah exacctly that

slate verge
#

thats easy

frosty veldt
#

Can't trust the editor for seeing if the model works, but yeah uploading it as a PC avatar is the only way

slate verge
#

quest vr is going to sold out soon as well, and i wanted to get one soon

languid beacon
#

In blender I just have two meshes parented to the same armature only one armature and export independently

desert stratus
#

thats fucking clever

vocal shard
#

@desert stratus source for cloth being more performance heavy?

frosty veldt
#

You can see it in the profiler as well as unity just straight up crashing if you overdo it or cause impossible geometry

vocal shard
#

I've used cloth extensively and never crashed

#

Never had any friends telling me that i drop their fps either

#

With 1500 vertices cloth

frosty veldt
#

Well that's a good number so I wouldn't expect lag from that

vocal shard
#

"good"

#

The limit is like 200 for vrchat

#

1500 is absurd to have

#

For one person

frosty veldt
#

The limits are arbitrary, it used to be 500.

vocal shard
#

I started to notice drop in performance at 5k

frosty veldt
#

Trying to get to 200 for cloth is not worth it imo. Better to just use dyn bones at that point

vocal shard
#

I want proof of that

#

20 dyn bone for a skirt

#

Vs 200 vertices skirt

#

Both with 2 capsule colliders in the legs

languid beacon
#

My pc version is 32K tris and my Quest one is 10K

slate verge
#

@vocal shard wow i have to test that sometimes. For skirts.

languid beacon
#

I really can’t bare to target lower than 10K

frosty veldt
#

20 bones for a skirt is a lot but testing the direct comparison is interesting

vocal shard
#

I love using cloth

languid beacon
#

Cloth is the only vrc thing that crashes me

vocal shard
#

Used it so much in 2018 and shared a lot of stuff in the Avatar channel

slate verge
#

@vocal shard do you know if it works for multi meshes? all at once

#

like ribbons and scarf

vocal shard
#

Got so many dms to help

languid beacon
#

Cloth ONLY works as a separate mesh

vocal shard
#

You need a separate mesh

frosty veldt
#

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

vocal shard
#

One cloth components per mesh

slate verge
#

ohh

languid beacon
#

Yeah cloth is meant for things that don’t need syncing

vocal shard
#

You can make a reset

#

I had that on ab emote

languid beacon
#

If you avoid colliders sync isn’t an issue

frosty veldt
#

Only time I want cloth is for dresses which need colliders

vocal shard
#

Just press the emote and it reset the cloth

#

The unity colliders are very optimized

frosty veldt
#

That's good because I throw em on like candy

vocal shard
#

Especially if you compare them to dyn bone colliders

languid beacon
#

I feel like a shader can do more efficient cloth

frosty veldt
#

Yeah but that's voodoo

I made removable panties with cloth 😳

#

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?

covert blade
#

Nope

coarse chasm
#

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

covert blade
#

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

rough pulsar
#

It's pretty fucking dumb that invites cannot be forwarded to the instance owner, but here we are. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

proper warren
#

uhm im totally new to vrchat but i cant seem to click on people to copy the avatar

coarse chasm
#

Clone avatar can be disabled

frosty veldt
#

You cant clone private avatars which many people use

languid beacon
#

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

covert blade
#

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

languid beacon
#

I guess

covert blade
#

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

languid beacon
#

Well in general I don’t think you should be able to invite anyone who isn’t your friend. That would enable spam

covert blade
#

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

languid beacon
#

It is better than not having the message

#

And there is the option of moving to friends + or public

covert blade
#

Point being: Forwarding the invite to the owner should absolutely be a thing

#

Speaking of which, inviting people in invite+ worlds should to

languid beacon
#

Instance owner kinda decided who they wanted when they made it friends only. But I do agree

covert blade
#

Still, there's no harm in that and if you don't accept any requests, only friends will be able to join

languid beacon
#

As long as it’s only forwarded if the friend of the instance owner chooses to forward it along I think it’s safe

covert blade
#

Pretty much what I would expect the "Ok" button to do

coarse chasm
#

Friends+ quickly grows into stupidly big lobbies with lots of clients, crashers, forced avatars, etc

#

So me no like them

covert blade
languid beacon
#

Yeah maybe change buttons to request/ignore for readability

covert blade
#

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

languid beacon
#

At the moment there is only one button, “ok” it does nothing but is also the only option

covert blade
#

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

languid beacon
#

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.

covert blade
#

Huh

languid beacon
#

So happy to get Ask Me status

coarse chasm
#

I just have custom animations set to off for everyone

rose sequoia
#

I have them on for known users and trusted users though

covert blade

I don't and I haven't run into that many big inconveniences

rose sequoia
#

The white names have been extra cringe today.

languid beacon
#

“Adeon why are you sliding everywhere”

Adeon: :(

coarse chasm
#

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

rose sequoia
#

Nah, they usually wont crash.

covert blade
#

You know people can just force kick you if they want right?

rose sequoia
#

The problem now is the clients.

frosty veldt
#

If your friends+ ends up in crashers then your friends need to do some list cleaning

covert blade
rose sequoia
#

You can end up getting kicked or a portal dropped on you and that's inevitable.

coarse chasm
#

There’s always that one friend

rose sequoia
#

Clients aren't bad, its just some of the people who use them.

languid beacon
#

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

worldly swan
#

Surely you can’t get a portal dropped on you, or can clients override that?

frosty veldt
#

I still think clients are wholly unnecessary, even for QoL changes

covert blade
#

It is friends of friends, just not "Friends of your friends"

rose sequoia
#

clients can override that

covert blade
#

Hmm no

rose sequoia
#

@worldly swan

frosty veldt
#

It should be an infinite friends of friends, its the best way to meet new people imo

worldly swan
#

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

covert blade
#

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

coarse chasm
#

Clients can override anything

rose sequoia
#

yes

coarse chasm
#

Can’t be kicked, can’t be blocked, force steal avatars, force kick, anything

#

Noclip, speed hacks, teleports

worldly swan
#

Surely blocking is user side

coarse chasm
#

Clients still prevent it somehow

worldly swan
#

Damn

rose sequoia
#

almost every client has a IP puller as well. Which isn't illegal, but its a little eh.

languid beacon
#

Yeah it sounds like a thing clients could override. Behind the scenes friends + is just public that isn’t listed on the directory

coarse chasm
#

Clients can even force join invite worlds without an invite

languid beacon
#

There’s no special authentication

rose sequoia
#

Yes they can.

#

But clients aren't always bad though.

#

Remember that.

frosty veldt
#

Im good

covert blade
#

Still against the ToS

languid beacon
#

Being always bad is kinda irrlelvent. Always banable is all that matters

frosty veldt
#

Having a client is like conceal carry, I usually lost trust in the people that use them

coarse chasm
#

The quality of life stuff and basic stuff is chill, all depends on who uses it

rose sequoia
#

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.

languid beacon
#

“But I didn’t do anything wrong with it” my butt, you broke tos that’s enough to warrant a ban lol

coarse chasm
#

Right just having it is enough

frosty veldt
#

I generally treat people telling me they have client as TMI or just a bizarre flex

rose sequoia
#

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.

covert blade
#

Even if they get banned it's probs just a temp ban

coarse chasm
#

Yea I mean friends will tell me about clients in private worlds but never use it or mention it anywhere public

worldly swan
#

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

coarse chasm
#

Just depends on who uses it

rose sequoia
#

Exactly.

worldly swan
#

Yeah

frosty veldt
#

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

rose sequoia
#

Well ripping avi's can happen either way.

worldly swan
#

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

rose sequoia
#

People can just make a exact replica which is even worst.

coarse chasm
#

Mhmm

frosty veldt
#

I usually just use game rips when in publics so ripping avatars doesnt matter much to me

hollow sluice
#

most people dont rip avatars because they are not stupid

coarse chasm
#

Theres always anticheats to detect and ban but then people will make undetectable clients cause anticheats aren’t perfect and always have loopholes

rose sequoia
#

uhhh..

#

Lots of people rip avatars. lmfao

covert blade
#

That's bold of you to assume that VRChat has any sort of anti cheat

worldly swan
#

Most people don’t rip avatars because they respect the time and effort that went into them

rose sequoia
#

Especially trusted users.

coarse chasm
#

I never said it did Sasha

peak vale
#

Anyone know where I can find a male pikachu avatar? I only found a female one.

hollow sluice
#

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

coarse chasm
#

How do you tell a Pikachu’s gender

worldly swan
#

frosty veldt

Tail is different on the female

I was opening up Unity and it crashed my entire PC spamming windows, could that have been something injected into something I had imported?

My friends gave me weird asset packs so guess one of them might’ve been something bad

you answered you own question lmao

My friend makes avatars for $500

hollow sluice

probably worth the price

He is really good at it

yeah he is

peak vale
#

$500? Wow

hollow sluice
#

scratch avatars are worth that kind of money

peak vale
#

Ill think on that

#

About that

hollow sluice
#

making avatars that are worth 500 takes years of practice and patience so he definitely deserves it

rose sequoia
#

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.

peak vale

just pm what you would like

frosty veldt

rose sequoia
#

Yeah sorry I was making dinner!

frosty veldt
#

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.)

peak vale

Its okay

frosty veldt

Wasnt Laughing Coffin bad? I never keep up with VRC drama

@­Scionzenos ^ that, excluding things from the Unity Asset Store and Booth though

They are a VRC gang

ahh thats sad

covert blade
#

SAO wannabes by the sound of it

rose sequoia
#

older members know who they are

hollow sluice
#

so they are just shitty kitbashed crasher avatars?

rose sequoia
#

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.

covert blade
#

That's not how software works

devout berry
#

That is a BS, isn't it?

rose sequoia
#

Idk what they did .

devout berry
#

My BS alarm is on highest defcon.

rose sequoia
#

But they had a recording of a kid crying on discord saying they messed up his computer.

covert blade
#

If an avatar kills your PC, odds are high that your PC was likely on its last leg already

rose sequoia
#

Im not sure what the full story was.

hollow sluice
#

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

covert blade
#

You're right, you really can't

vocal shard
#

hi

frosty veldt
#

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

rose sequoia
#

I never heard that saying. Ive only heard the saying "Fry your router." which can be done.

devout berry
#

Thermal throttling will stop any temp based fry attempts.

hollow sluice
#

yeah

covert blade
#

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

rose sequoia
#

Just join Tinks avatar server.

#

She has a bunch of resources.

devout berry
#

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.

hollow sluice
#

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

rose sequoia
#

Not everyone has that though

frosty veldt
#

Stuff hidden in unity packages have more access to your computer than some rando in a vrchat world

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.

hollow sluice
#

its difficult to encourage people to stay away from the site if we cant talk about it

covert blade
#

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

coarse chasm
#

I used it but i’m new so didn’t know it was bad

covert blade
hollow sluice

its kind of unavoidable, especially because of how offten you see new people trying to upload vrcm avatars in the help channels

devout berry
#

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.

frosty veldt
#

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

rose sequoia
#

agreed

I'm so confused

hollow sluice
#

you are? why?

rose sequoia
#

What are we talking about.

#

Wait actually PM

devout berry
#

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.

hollow sluice
#

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

devout berry
#

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.

covert blade
#

Anyways, imma nyom to sleep now
But before that
@languid beacon Boop, are you available for DM's?

hollow sluice
#

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

devout berry
#

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)

hollow sluice
#

because this games security is more than lacking

tame island
#

i believe it exploits a world's ability to change ur avatar if i remember correctly

languid beacon
#

Yes @covert blade

tacit plank
#

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

hollow sluice
#

the devs wont do anything about it anytime soon probably

#

no matter how easy your suggestion is to implement they probably wont do it

hallow trout

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

what do you mean

peak vale

Not windowed

hallow trout

so like borderless windowed no

sadly there isnt

tacit plank

Real fullscreen? Maybe alt+enter, otherwise you need to hold ctrl (or was it shift?) when starting VRC and change the Unity launch settings

hollow sluice

I use borderless windowed

Alt enter worked

Cool

hollow sluice

works just fine

hallow trout

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

Adeon has used the quest already and knows what it's like. No need to convince them otherwise

It's all where your priorities are in a device

frosty veldt
#

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

vocal shard
#

Why I still recommend rift S over quest with link for pure PC experience

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...

sharp trout
#

You could try just waving ”Hi” to them @hidden locust

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...

sharp trout
#

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

twin fractal
#

rifts s or index

hidden locust
#

Yeah... I'm about there as well. My computer is in desperate need of an upgrade...

twin fractal
#

desperately need a new CPU

sharp trout
#

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

vocal shard
#

There are some PSVR headphones that clip onto the headband. They work well for the rift S and feel similar to cv1

hidden locust
#

Yeah, my graphics card is sub-par, my CPU is crap... everything else is okay.

sharp trout
#

Plus the room I have is an L shape and the longside has a slanted cealing.. so setting up lighthouses optimally seems almost impossible

twin fractal
#

I feel like anything else wouldn't be nearly as upgrade worthy

vocal shard
#

I just got a 200$ dollar laptop.

sharp trout
#

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 :(

hidden locust
#

But yeah. Minimum graphics card is looking for a GTX 970

vocal shard
#

Ah. Yeah I've just been using normal headphones over my rift s

#

Im working on upgrading and stuff.

sharp trout
#

I feel like that’d be too clunky for me. I am picky enough about fit and comfort as is

hidden locust
#

My graphics card may be a GeForce GTX 1050, but it's stupidly underpowered from what other specs I could have gotten...

twin fractal
#

VR doesn't take nearly as much power as people imagine

hidden locust
#

It has a little less than 2 gigs of VRAM

twin fractal
#

I started with a GTX 1050 ti

hidden locust
#

I wish there were a proper compatibility checker other than Steam's crappy version...

twin fractal
#

then upgraded to an Rx 580 which is still mid tier

sharp trout
#

I have an RX 480 8GB and an i5 7600k

hidden locust
#

My CPU is an AMD FX-4300 Quad running on 3.8 GHz per core.

vocal shard
#

How much was the core?

hidden locust
#

I forget.

vocal shard
#

O.

hidden locust
#

My roommate bought this rig for me about 6 years ago. 400 bucks.

twin fractal
#

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

sharp trout
#

Probably 4 cores on the fx-4300 since you wrote ”Quad”?

twin fractal
#

it's become an issue when I have too many programs on at once

vocal shard
#

Yo my laptop trash it only got 1.1 ghz

#

when i bought it said it would have more

#

So i got scammed

twin fractal
#

laptops be like that

sharp trout
#

Well laptops- especially older ones or lower perfoemance ones don’t run high clocks

vocal shard
#

Did you build your pc?

twin fractal
#

yeah

sharp trout
#

It could also be downclocking due to heat @vocal shard

vocal shard
#

Its not hot.

sharp trout
#

Checked temps?

vocal shard
#

No How do i check?

sharp trout
#

Aaaaaaaaa like any tool you prefer

#

There are many applications that can show temperatures

vocal shard
#

Like?

sharp trout
#

I mean I know MSI Afterburner is pretty good for graphicscard info

#

But for cpu I am not sure what to recommend

vocal shard
#

O.

sharp trout
#

I have only recently used and still use SpeedFan

pastel imp
#

Hey all 😄

sharp trout
#

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

pastel imp
#

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 😛

vocal shard
#

Yo im downloading speedfan.

sharp trout
#

Aight

#

It may seem weird cuz it’s a bit not super user friendly (I think) but there should be plenty of youtube videos

hidden locust
#

Belatedly, yeah. 4 cores.

vocal shard
#

Ok.

hidden locust
#

Hence Quad

vocal shard
#

The temp is fine.

#

Its at 1.10 ghz

#

oof

rigid crescent
#

@pastel imp What's the difference? A team member is gonna see it anyway

pastel imp
#

True, but the difference is one will see it, vs possibly hundreds ;p

#

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

hollow breach

@vocal shard do any of the accounts have the name Original?

languid beacon
#

Quest dev looks fun tho

vocal shard
#

?

hollow breach

Do the accounts

#

Have the username

Original

languid beacon

Quit talking so fast man space it out one word at a time

@languid beacon apologies

#

Won’t do it again

Most names that are ”simple” are taken

Can someone help me..? I'm having model troubles..

sharp trout
hearty pine
#

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..

sharp trout
#

Ask in the proper channel and everyone will be happy

hearty pine
#

I'm scared I'm not gonna get any replies.. -w-''

hollow breach
#

@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

languid beacon
#

As opposed asking in this channel which will get replies, but they'll just say to ask in the other channel xD

sharp trout
#

Search it up where?

hollow breach
#

In the social tab

#

And on the website too

#

But the name doesn’t come up

hearty pine
#

Yup..

sharp trout
#

With a zero?

hollow breach
#

No I search it up with an O

#

My name has the 0

sharp trout
#

Well I don’t know

#

If it’s taken it’s taken

hollow breach
#

It’s so sus

sharp trout
#

But I gotta say, not a very original name

hollow breach
#

If it was I should be able to find the person

languid beacon
#

I can't tell 0 from 0 they look exactly the same

hollow breach
#

Woah never heard that before

sharp trout
#

O - 0

hollow breach
#

@languid beacon they do in VRV but I rather have the O tbh

sharp trout
#

One is not as wide

hollow breach
#

*VRC

languid beacon
#

Depends on your font

hollow breach
#

@sharp trout in VRC they look exactly the same

#

Or very close

sharp trout
#

Well that’s in-game

hollow breach
#

Yeah

languid beacon
#

There's a dude that owns the name Adeon, which I used to own, and he never uses it. It makes me sadface

hollow breach

sharp trout
#

People always misread my name

#

Like always

languid beacon
#

they cleared unused names and i didn't renew mine quick enough, someone else got it first

vocal shard
#

OWO

hollow breach
#

@languid beacon WHEN

sharp trout
#

And some ask if it’s spelt like that because ”Vanilla” was taken, but no that’s not it

languid beacon
#

@hollow breach June 8 2017

hollow breach
#

Oh lmao I joined VRC Dec 2017

deft girder
#

The search is pretty busted for finding specific names

languid beacon
hollow breach
#

I mean it should be able to find the name “Original”

#

Can they do that again?

deft girder
#

I'll check it for you

hollow breach
#

@deft girder I’d appreciate that thanks

languid beacon
#

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

merry mesa
#

@hallow trout Are you still having connection issues? I'm having the same problem and it's not computer specific.

indigo fern

oh no

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

cosmic shore
#

Any advice on what vr headset to get? I was thinking Oculus Rift S but it's hard to find it in stock lol

hallow trout
#

@merry mesa it seems to have stopped now

meager solstice
#

i mean depending on ur budget, but yes the oculus rift s is fine @cosmic shore

hallow trout
#

the rift s is a good choice if your on a budget and have limited space

meager solstice
#

if u have the funds, the index comes back in stock monday

vocal shard

it's crazy how people on twitter are only just now realizing that moderation doesn't work lol

vocal shard
#

It only worked early 2017 and before

#

When only 50 people played and the "call moderator" button actually did something

rigid crescent
#

well most people still don't seem to realize that the email/ticket support is almost surefire

#

at least in my experience

indigo fern
#

it still feels like half the people who write emails/tickets just put
"halp i got hacked heres their name"

rigid crescent
#

I've had one situation where an email with vid and/or pics didn't lead to anything and it was a ban evader

indigo fern
#

and complain why it didnt do anything

vocal shard
#

Vrchat mods should be able to read my mind and ban the appropriate offenders

#

Dead game anyway lmao

rigid crescent
#

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

vocal shard
#

There are no rules anymore

#

Anyone can do anything they want and they won't be banned for months, if they even get banned

rigid crescent
#

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
