I guess running aroudn wiht 8m particles is fine

umbral reef
#

vrchat isn't even bothered to add a particle count to at least try to reduce the number of particle crashers
@copper niche Literally a thing

#

Been since 2018 kekw

copper niche
#

Are you sure about that?

languid beacon
#

Literally yes

lone scroll
#

vrchat has a particle limiter json config you can enable

jagged stream
#

VRChat has an inbuilt particle limiter

umbral reef
copper niche
#

Tell me how I can upload 8m particle avatars

lone scroll
#

^

meager rose
#

I wasn't even aware that vrc had competitors tbh. There was that one UE4 one made by the Second Life guy but I didnt think that was big enough or contet creation was easy enough to be considered a competitor

languid beacon
#

Tell me how I can upload 8m particle avatars
@copper niche uploading and blocking are two different things bruv

hazy fog
#

why do dynamic bones freak out when you do gestures now?

copper niche
#

But that's my point, you shouldn't even be able to pass the upload state with that much stuff

languid beacon
#

Nah. Let people upload what they want, and let people block what they don’t want to see

lone scroll
#

khosumi particles arent the issue in any way ever 90% of the time

copper niche
#

I don't see any point in having more than 100k particles

lone scroll
#

its people uploading meshes with 80 materials and 500k polys

languid beacon
#

Ok but maybe someone else does

#

Who are you to say

copper niche
#

what use case

lone scroll
#

or 5000 dynamic bone collision checks

copper niche
#

what use case do you need more htan even 1k parts

languid beacon
#

Does it matter?

copper niche
#

yes

languid beacon
#

If you feel that so strongly then set it to 1K

copper niche
#

that's not what I'm asking. What use case requires so many?

languid beacon
#

If you feel that so strongly than set your limiter to 1k

umbral reef
#

Guess you never been to an avatar showcase

copper niche
#

dodge again

jagged stream
#

Complex animations with lots of good particle systems

#

which is why there are void worlds and such

raw plaza
#

let people upload but have the avatar automatically hidden for others by default if particles etc are beyond a set threshold

celest flower
#

vrchat needs to fix the viewpoint movement

umbral reef
languid beacon
#

I don’t see how anyone would think that letting people set their limits themselves is not better than vrchat making an arbitrary limit for all

umbral reef
#

Also performance blocking is a thing

copper niche
#

I don’t see how anyone would think that letting people set their limits themselves is not better than vrchat making an arbitrary limit for all
@languid beacon restricting uploads for avatars with crazy numbers to prevent some crashers?

languid beacon
#

Not necessary because people can set their own limits

lone scroll
#

but particles are the wrong target for that lmao

copper niche
#

particles, dyn bones, mats, whatever

lone scroll
#

dynamic bone collision checks should be, people who try and upload anything with over 2k checks should get insta banned if you ask me

pseudo basalt
#

own default limits would probably be just that but there aren't limits for enough things

languid beacon
#

The current system is the best let people upload what they want and let other people restrict it how they want

pseudo basalt
#

I'd be all for hard limits if they're reasonable

little rampart
#

you are forgetting the main issue, way bigger than particle crashers, client crashers, those are the real thing that needs urgent fixing

lone scroll
#

yeah vrc should fix their exploits, so people cant desync lobbies anymore

pseudo basalt
#

But particle crashers are a joke, there's way more reliable ways to crash people

little rampart
#

a guy closing the game of all people in a room with the push of a button?

copper niche
#

we both know vrchat ain't going to do anything about client modders

lone scroll
#

but thats wishfull thinking, would require the devs to have more brain power than a 12 year old client developer

little rampart
#

like... what?

ruby needle
#

@languid beacon it's good to have custom limitations BUT maximal limits are still a good idea to prevent "ignorant people" to go haywire and use it as a pure argument to give a damn about optimizing

copper niche
#

^

languid beacon
#

If someone wants to make content they can make it exactly how they want and see exactly how they want and if other people want to choose to limit it they can, everyone wins. Creators don’t have to deal with arbitrary limits

vocal shard
#

Let’s just kill vrchat and start over

lone scroll
#

VRChat 2 when

copper niche
#

2 days

lone scroll
#

2 days?

copper niche
#

yes, 2 days.

jagged stream
#

Current collision checks, 3324 @pseudo basalt 🤷‍♀️

lone scroll
#

if youre talking about cvr its in such a horrible state, maybe in half a year

copper niche
#

lmao

lone scroll
#

i just tried it out, it feels horrible to play sadly

meager rose
#

Whats the new one called?

copper niche
#

Doubt

lone scroll
#

grabbing is broken etc, vrchat is mileys ahead

little rampart
#

neos vr looks kinda good, not gonna lie

languid beacon
#

They’re just trolling and talking about a VRchat competitor

copper niche
#

Grabbing isn't broken, what are you talking about

little rampart
#

i should try it

lofty idol
#

Neos vr is terrible

little rampart
#

is it? why?

vocal shard
#

CVR wins by optimization I bet

lone scroll
#

lmao Khosumi you just proved youre an idiot, i just streamed cvr and tried it out, its basically unplayable and feels very bad to play simple as that

copper niche
#

Except I alpha test

pseudo basalt
#

There's a bunch of social vr games but I doubt they're worth trying just yet

lone scroll
#

except i alpha test since 7 months ago

#

so shut up and stop selling out for a worse game in here

pseudo basalt
#

I wouldn't really touch neos

copper niche
#

Well you're still lying because grabbing isn't broken?

languid beacon
#

Except I alpha test
@copper niche that explains all the shilling lol

lofty idol
#

Its wonky as hell its just a shit ton of features and no direction. The menu is cluttered as hell. Only vrgame I've ever played that actually gave me motion sickness and a headache

lone scroll
#

k

lofty idol
#

They overcomplicate everything for no reason (talking about noesvr)

little rampart
#

oh damn :\

jagged stream
#

Neos has some neat features, but a lot of it is gimmicks, cool game tho that you can just port in FBX's live into the game and such

pseudo basalt
#

There's cvr, helios, lavander, vircadia and of course facebook horizons 🙏

little rampart
#

ewww

pseudo basalt
#

One of them's on unreal engine

umbral reef
#

Doesnt neos also drag to an half when you want to have high pop rooms?

copper niche
#

neos won't pick up

lofty idol
#

Neos's been out for a long time it wont pick up yeah

pseudo basalt
#

yeah neos already kinda has a reputation for being all furry and really complicated

#

which isn't really attractive to the average user

little rampart
#

i was amazed by avatar editing in game tho

lofty idol
#

Neos is basically vrchat if they cared more about features then they did userfriendliness

pseudo basalt
#

In the end you need a playerbase to sustain a game

copper niche
#

It's all blueprints, there's no game

cold talon
#

still, gotta give credit where credit is due, it is because of neos that vrc's furry population is under control

lofty idol
#

Vrchat while a buggy mess is super simple to understand and get into

pseudo basalt
#

And also has a good name

little rampart
#

i see some furry hate here

copper niche
#

it's a pretty generic name, ngl

lofty idol
#

Generic is good to be honest

#

Its easy to remember says what it needs to

pseudo basalt
#

it's catchy and simple enough, and abbreviates well

copper niche
#

Sure, I agree, I just think it's average

cold talon
#

easy to find in the first place too, since its literally vr chat

lofty idol
#

Like facebook is a terrible name and yet here we are in a facebook controlled dystopia

pseudo basalt
#

Don't want to understate the importance of a good name

languid beacon
#

VRChat is a good name. No question there

pseudo basalt
#

Like, if I say second life

#

Things instantly come to mind, not always good ones

#

But it's easy to remember

languid beacon
#

And Second Life is the worst possible name lol

cold talon
#

facebook is a good name tho, it was representative of what fb was at first

pseudo basalt
#

For the wrong reasons

copper niche
#

a book of faces?

cold talon
#

pretty much

copper niche
#

where is the hardcover print

languid beacon
#

Second Life’s name got it so much grief

#

It’s so easy to make fun of

pseudo basalt
#

i think chillout vr is a pretty lame name

#

but cvr is a good abbreviation

vocal shard
#

VRChats name is kinda misleading

lofty idol
#

Chillout vr sounds like a world from vrchat instead of an actual game itself

cold talon
#

chillout vr :sleep:

copper niche
#

VRCrash omegalul

pseudo basalt
#

avatar chillout and sleep

languid beacon
#

Chillout vr sounds like a world from vrchat instead of an actual game itself
I have to admit until last week I thought it was just some VRchat world
@lofty idol

vocal shard
#

Yeah rename it to vrcrash lol

copper niche
#

it's accurate at least

pseudo basalt
#

small floating room with space skybox and chillout int he name is the new box

cold talon
#

+1 on the vrcrash

pseudo basalt
#

literally every other map

lofty idol
#

I mean we're just talking about names. Vrchat's is better than chillouts

languid beacon
#

It does sort of limit the expectations for it. VRChat is turning into a platform where you can make your own games within it which is great.

pseudo basalt
#

It's important for a first impression and brand recognition

copper niche
#

It does sort of limit the expectations for it. VRChat is turning into a platform where you can make your own games within it which is great.
@languid beacon Others can as well though, that's not unique to VRC

pseudo basalt
#

It's a little too clunky to make actual games in it

#

And the desync and ping issues don't make it any favors

viscid whale
#

Vrc for google daydream when/s

little rampart
#

imagine having a server in europe

#

so we didnt have 200 ping on average over here

pseudo basalt
#

If s&box comes out and has good vr support, it will be just that

languid beacon
#

Desync is not an issue anymore. People just don’t know how to sync. There’s a lot of novice content

copper niche
#

???

lofty idol
#

Wait what

copper niche
#

Literally udon swords tells you if you're late you can't sync

lofty idol
#

desync is a giant issue even in just the game itself what you mean there's no desync

copper niche
#

like what

pseudo basalt
#

Imagine playing any kind of pvp map

#

Yeah, it's clunky as hell

vocal shard
#

@covert chasm IVE NEVER HAD SO MUCH FUN ON VRCHAT AWESOME UPDATE !!

little rampart
#

._.

lofty idol
#

Ignore the bait

#

Baits too obvious

pseudo basalt
#

frogposters 😔

vocal shard
#

im so serious

cold talon
#

wait, how did it not get auto deleted by the bot

vocal shard
#

i actually am having fun

languid beacon
#

@ing a dev for lame bait

vocal shard
#

this update is really good

#

no malicious ppl in sight

lofty idol
#

Lets all just take a deep breath and ignore the bait

umbral reef
#

@little rampart Having a server only euro would only lower the ping for other people in euro and increase it more for everyone else in the world.
If you want two servers, then euro would get lower ping, but getting to NA or players that are closer to NA will increase by an fair bit.

copper niche
#

I have gb internet and I still only get 120 ping on vrc from canada

vocal shard
#

just bc im enjoying the game makes it a bait ?

languid beacon
#

In the baits defense I played for like three hours last night and nobody noticed any animation issues because we were in game worlds where no one bothers playing emotes and stuff

little rampart
#

well, but the ping we have here is ridiculous, it doesnt matter that much because we all have it, but still

lofty idol
#

even in america the ping is terrible yeah

pseudo basalt
#

tbh apart from the bugs i think vrc is heading in the right direction, their foundation was pretty bad, which they're now slowly improving on with 3.0 and udon

cold talon
#

yeah, speed will not affect the ping

lofty idol
#

Vrchat isn't known for high quality servers

pseudo basalt
#

and other systems

languid beacon
#

Avatar 3.0 is just wonderful. I haven’t touched Udon yet so I can’t comment on it

pseudo basalt
#

Competition is also good because it forces people to improve

#

So it's good for social vr in general

copper niche
#

or in the case of vrchat, break itself to oblivion

little rampart
#

the ideas are great, and users being able to upload (and basically build the game) content is amazing

cold talon
#

when can we get locally hosted lobbies?

pseudo basalt
#

it's temporary

#

shit breaks for a few days then people forget about it

copper niche
#

temporary for how long?

pseudo basalt
#

until they break the next thing

lofty idol
#

Locally hosted lobbies would be neat for privates honestly

little rampart
#

thats a good idea

copper niche
#

You remember that bug where you couldn't hold 2 thumbs up? Do you know how bad that was for signing?

#

and it took a while

languid beacon
#

Aren’t all instances locally hosted? By the host?

pseudo basalt
#

never heard of it

copper niche
#

so many bugs

lofty idol
#

Its all server based Adeon

languid beacon
#

I don’t think it is

pseudo basalt
#

no, they're not, if it was locally hosted you wouldn't have 200 ping in your own instance

lofty idol
#

It is

#

its a factual statement that it is

languid beacon
#

Worlds run locally for every player and each player has ownership of various game objects and syncs them to the rest.

lofty idol
#

it runs locally per person not the master of the world

copper niche
#

The instance is server sided

languid beacon
#

There is no instance server

copper niche
#

well you're wrong

lofty idol
#

You're literally wrong Adeon yeah

copper niche
#

explain how you can have lag if it was local

languid beacon
#

Okie dokie my understanding is wrong

maiden juniper
#

Im beginning to wonder if someone should ping devs about this 3.0 bug shit, cause they havent said anything about it.

lofty idol
#

Yeah sorry if that comes off as mean just saying that isn't how it works

copper niche
#

how can I lag to myself

pseudo basalt
#

I remember a dev talking about it at some point but I don't remember where

#

But it's definitely not local

languid beacon
#

Im beginning to wonder if someone should ping devs about this 3.0 bug shit, cause they havent said anything about it.
@maiden juniper that’s a good idea I’m absolutely certain that they have no idea that there are bugs.

vocal shard
#

why did i just get a ban alert im sorry i was just very happy

copper niche

lul

pseudo basalt

frogposter destroyed

languid beacon
#

More bait

frosty veldt
#

Reading the rules is lame 😔

little rampart
#

dont even aknowledge it

vocal shard
#

why are u saying BAIT??

copper niche
#

working code is lame

frosty veldt
#

Good thing avatars are animators then, if they were code things could break

pseudo basalt
#

Ironically, they broke anyway

copper niche
#

3.0 avatars are super broken

frosty veldt
#

Thats the joke guys

languid beacon
#

The animations are not broken. They play fine locally

charred hornet
#

darn

vocal shard
#

literally nothing is wrong w the game rn?

#

wym

lofty idol
#

Can we all agree that the default crouching animation for 3.0 is the ugliest thing in existence?

copper niche
#

Who cares if they play fine locally, most of the time you want the animation to show to other people

cold talon
#

nope, the game is perfect now

lofty idol
#

I hate it

languid beacon
#

Definitely can’t agree on that one

umbral reef
#

True that tho

little rampart
#

kinda

frosty veldt
#

@lofty idol Just gotta replace it, idle2 and idle3 make it look like it used to

languid beacon
#

I like the 3.0 Crouch much better for VR at least. I admit it looks stupid on desktop though 

lofty idol
#

it looks dumb in vr too

random yew
#

how is the game perfect now . Some users can't talk at all and can't hear others.

copper niche
#

3.0 crouch is bad

lofty idol
#

astillbe no no no

languid beacon
#

I don’t think it looks great in VR but I think the old one looks absolutely terrible

lofty idol
#

Its bait ignore them

#

They just want to drag someone into it

random yew
#

bruh legit i can't talk to any of my friends now ;-;

copper niche
#

Default anims always were bad, put custom ones in if you don't want to look like you got a stick up your bum

lone scroll
#

is game fixed yet

copper niche
#

haha

cold talon
#

need new default animator that handles vr and desktop animations differently

languid beacon
#

Yesterdays update literally let you do that lol

cold talon
#

we have the parameter for it now, so why not

frosty veldt
#

Yeah new parameters are cool

cold talon
#

yeah thats why i was saying, its just that we need the one provided by default to do it

languid beacon
#

I really don’t understand the logic for exactly how the current bugs work

#

I know it’s related to the animator tracking control behavior

copper niche
#

last I heard, they mixed up some strings or something internally

#

I could be completely wrong, it's just what I heard

cold talon
#

its not a bug, its a feature to entice players to use the much more superior write defaults off vrcSmooSmart

languid beacon
#

The only time I’m seeing breakage is on things like the get up from die animation

pseudo basalt
#

I think they only acknowledge server issues

#

But it'd be stupid to assume they don't know

lofty idol
#

They'll probably hotfix it at some point today, but it would be nice if they at least said they were "investigating the issues"

lone scroll
#

btw harry you new to this?

copper niche
#

next update breaks floor detection, goes live, unpatched for 2 weeks

lone scroll
#

not getting any response from anyone, not even the community manager is normal

#

come back in 2 weeks

#

are invites and request working again?

#

didnt work 3 hours ago

copper niche
#

are invites and request working again?
@lone scroll no

pseudo basalt
#

Would be nice but they only do that in the beta channel

lone scroll
#

damn

languid beacon
#

In their defense they’ve been saying they need a QA tester for a long while now

lone scroll
#

they dont hire people

copper niche
#

how about opening an always open beta server?

ruby stratus
#

sounds like an open beta to me

pseudo basalt
#

vrchat is already in constant open beta

lone scroll
#

^

pseudo basalt
#

since it's in ~early access~

lone scroll
#

vrchat is a level before early access

languid beacon
#

Midnight access

little rampart
#

access
just
access

copper niche
#

Backstage access because the stage isn't working right

lofty idol
#

vrchat varies between open beta and alpha every few weeks

pseudo basalt
#

it's classic early access wdym

little rampart
#

pretty much

copper niche
#

just commit to master straight away
@jolly plume omegalul, and don't include a push message

lone scroll
#

honestly, i really feel people would be way more forgiving if they would communicate

lofty idol
#

the push message is just "i fixed some things"

copper niche
#

w0w

lone scroll
#

not communicating as a dev in 2020 just shows you how bad they are

languid beacon
#

To be fair the current state of vrchat is exactly the kind of experience that the early access warning on steam is describing

copper niche
#

how many years of early access do you need for vrchat?

lone scroll
#

5 more

pseudo basalt
#

I think it's fine when stuff doesn't break

lofty idol
#

It honestly is really baffling the community manager can't just say "We're investigating current issues"

lone scroll
#

then we go to open beta

lofty idol
#

Like its actually kind of sad

pseudo basalt
#

Remember 5.4 days, now that was awful

languid beacon
#

Doesn’t matter, if the warning is there people are playing despite the warning

copper niche
#

imagine taking the label of "early access" and thinking it explains why the game is such in a terrible state. It's been years since the game launched

lone scroll
#

ye

copper niche
#

There's no excuse for this

languid beacon
#

At least it’s not as bad as its competitors

carmine nebula
#

Honestly how do you fully release a social platform game?

lone scroll
#

early access isnt an excuse to provide the minimum viable product full of bugs, no communication etc

carmine nebula
#

Is that even possible to do?

lofty idol
#

Yes

copper niche
#

Honestly how do you fully release a social platform game?
@carmine nebula don't have a crashy app that breaks avatars?

pseudo basalt
#

It's also a free game

copper niche
#

warframe is also a free game

pseudo basalt
#

Excuse or not, they don't owe you anything

lofty idol
#

please stop using that logic

umbral reef
#

Warframe was a buggy mess for years

lofty idol
#

they legit make money off the playerbase even if we don't pay them

carmine nebula
#

VRChat and warframe are two different kind of games

lofty idol
#

if everyone left they'd go bankrupt in a month

@lofty idol and how then 🙃

lofty idol

Investment

pseudo basalt
#

It's specifically addressed at the ~inexcusable~ part

lofty idol
#

Testing vr things for companies

umbral reef
#

And thats making money or getting an investment that has to follow a specific set of rules

copper niche
#

Vrchat had commissions on the amount of oculus sold

languid beacon
#

You could be off playing CVR instead. But you are here. On VRC’s discord. Wishing VRC was better. That alone should tell you that VRC is better.

copper niche
#

I am on cvr, what are you talking about lmao

umbral reef
#

Vrchat had commissions on the amount of oculus sold
@copper niche Cool, got proof for that as its never been shown

lone scroll
#

of course vrc is better, its been out for many years

#

cvr started active development not even a year ago

carmine nebula
#

CVR's team are very... aggressive with serious questions

lone scroll
#

cvr is a good alternative, its promising

copper niche
#

I disagree

carmine nebula
#

I'd rather have DEVs not responding as much, to devs being ... aggressive

copper niche
#

I spoke with the devs, they're actually pretty nice

carmine nebula
#

@copper niche I can't ask important, serious questions without getting an aggressive finger pointed at me and being shunned for asking

copper niche
#

like what?

carmine nebula
#

I've asked groups of people that agree

raw creek
#

VRChat very much makes money off of headset manufacturers, because VRChat is bizarrely a very killer app for vr right now

carmine nebula
#

Oh you know, questions that regard the safety of users, etc

copper niche
#

yes, like what?

carmine nebula
#

Avatar related things, as well

#

If there's easier back doors that aren't being secured

copper niche
#

That's not really something devs talk about lol

#

for security reasons

umbral reef
#

VRChat very much makes money off of headset manufacturers, because VRChat is bizarrely a very killer app for vr right now
@raw creek Again got any proof for that? As literally no other company that isnt directly owned by an headset seller gets anything 'extra'

carmine nebula
#

Well, unless you want an active community to feel safe

#

And "prove" it's not as great as vrchat

lofty idol
#

The fact of the matter is vrchat makes money off people playing. That is unquestionable fact. They benefit off the game functioning and us playing it. We actively help them as a company by being a community. So if they fuck us with no communication and buggy content we have every right to complain. Saying otherwise just means you're an idiot.

raw creek
#

You can literally just google “VRChat investment”

carmine nebula
#

Of course you have every right to complain

copper niche
#

Remember, if you're not paying, you're the product

#

They are making cash off of you

#

And your troubles

umbral reef
#

Seeding rounds are not deals wit headset manufactures.

carmine nebula
#

I don't care, as long as I can enjoy the, tremendous amount of money I spent to play a game that's VR and social

lofty idol
#

Adeon please stop

#

You legit thought worlds were locally hosted

copper niche
#

@lofty idol I don’t think you understand what facts are. Playing VR chat does not make the devs any money at all
@languid beacon Yes they do, stop being ignorant about it

carmine nebula
#

What I mean to DEVs means nothing to me personally, just lemme play

languid beacon

Explain how being logged into VR chat makes the devs money

viscid whale
#

Altspace VR 😎

umbral reef
#

Most of the current worth within VRC are directly tied to there networking code, Udon and AV3
And the odds are extreme that those had to be made before other tools and functions as a deal of those seeding rounds

ruby stratus

ew, just ew

Thought VRChat ran off of amazon servers

lmaoo

raw creek
#

I personally didn’t claim they get a cut off a headset sale or anything; but it’s undeniable that they’re invested in because they sell hardware.

carmine nebula
#

Unless that was just a rumor shrug

languid beacon
#

We’re not talking about them getting a cut off headset sales were talking about them generating money from people being logged in

copper niche

Explain how being logged into VR chat makes the devs money
@languid beacon Active user count, data points from using vr technology are 2 examples

deft temple
#

So, I'm new to VRChat and I wanted to maybe my OC into a custom avatar but I have no idea where to start

lofty idol
#

@languid beacon so facebook comes out with quest, facebook wants quest to be supported, facebook give company millions to support quest, they do this since company has product that community uses that has vr support

deft temple

carmine nebula

Facebook is in some deep trouble with that quest...

That's a yikes doing that too ^

languid beacon

@languid beacon so facebook comes out with quest, facebook wants quest to be supported, facebook give company millions to support quest, they do this since company has product that community uses that has vr support
@lofty idol That’s making money for making quest version not making money from people being logged in

copper niche

but yeah vrchat doesn't make money off of you playing

@languid beacon so facebook comes out with quest, facebook wants quest to be supported, facebook give company millions to support quest, they do this since company has product that community uses that has vr support
@lofty idol Literally no other dev got that. All the devs get is support porting there software (even smaller devs got this) and beta versions of the headsets to test.
There is no reason for any headset to give VRC money- Id be extremely stupid for VRC to not port over to a system like quest with or without money.

@ruby stratus It literally isnt. Your trying to gasslight people that agree with you already by lying.
The reason VRC is 13+ is because a game cant get a lower rating unless they can confirm that all there content is child friendly.
As VRC allows users to upload worlds and avatars they could never get that rating. Even if all VRC owned content is safe, the rest isnt and its deeply integrated and lightly moderated.

VRChat is hot as hell. Desktop mode also encourages you to be jealous of all these vr players, you ask them “hey how are you playing?” and they respond with “oculus quest 2, it’s great, don’t even need a pc”
It’s incredibly effective marketing

I’m also not entirely sure VRChat is competent enough to steal any useful data tbh

I’m being intentionally coy here, because I don’t think anybody actually reported it on the canny while it was in open beta, dispite everyone saying the bugs were known. If someone does have a canny link though it should shut me up good.

zenith pumice
#

wait... why would you not report a bug when in open beta?

languid beacon
#

Yes but Tupper, the community manager, has explicitly stated that if a bug isn’t reported on the canny then it won’t get addressed. Pointing out bugs on discord won’t do anything

Thanks.

That’s exactly what I needed

So what actually is the bug in the first place?

languid beacon

imagine being paid 6 figures and not being able to keep people updated on discord on an issue that makes your game unplayable
@finite notch#084I think that’s a bit of hyperbole. Not being able to use emotes is hardly “unplayable”

i don't know if they are fixing it but eariler one the vrchat team memebers replied to someone not being able to talk. they said they were trying to fix it. You would have to scroll up all the way to find that message.

all i can really say is just wait. I'm unable to speak to any of my friends on vrchat and relying on discord to be able to communicate with them.

If you can post a link to your Feedback/Canny post with replication steps and an example, that'd be helpful @jolly plume

I'm unsure how to deliver this in a friendly manner that doesn't sound like a skipping record, but please summarize your issues with a Feedback/Canny post with replication steps and ideally an example

That way I can link that Canny into our internal tracking and it will help us with tracking down issues

languid beacon
#

One issue I have is that is it highly dependent on who is wearing the avatar. Other people see the avatars broken for me but they look fine for myself. If somebody else wears them they work perfectly for both of themselves and everyone else

#

Makes reproducing very hard

normal radish
#

Theory still typing

charred hornet
#

its a little random, sometimes reloading the avatar breaks / fixes it

languid beacon
#

The only thing I can reliably do is wear the avatar myself and everyone else always sees it broken

#

I could happily share a blueprint ID but it seems to work fine for everybody else

regal furnace
#

probably because none of the bugs are gamebreaking and stop you from talking to other people (what the game is about)

charred hornet
#

actually, considering there is a bug that does exactly that currently

languid beacon
#

Yeah the broken emotes really aren’t that big of a deal, I mean it’s annoying but the majority of people are playing and not even knowing there’s issues

#

It seems like chaos here on Discord but go in the game and nobody’s complaining

charred hornet
#

its not just emotes, we aren't complaining because we can't backflip anymore

regal furnace
#

the game was unstable before too

charred hornet
#

and thats an excuse is it?

regal furnace

infact, yesterday i had to restart 3 times in the first 30 minutes because of that loading bug

Harry let me explain this in a way you might understand.

#

If they roll it back how the heck are we supposed to reproduce the bugs

vocal shard
#

Why is vrchat crouching broken like its instant crouching like before

acoustic yew
#

so are these animation issues due to the write defaults thing?

charred hornet
#

the devs will still have access to the build, and if it was in beta a bit longer they would have caught the bugs

vocal shard
#

If they roll it back how the heck are we supposed to reproduce the bugs
by using the beta branch ?

#

why would they retroactively change already-uploaded content ffs

languid beacon

charred hornet
#

this isn't just about avatars

regal furnace
#

for as long as the open betas exist, i ran into pretty much only 3 people

languid beacon
#

No one plays on beta so people don’t find bugs, and the ones who do find bugs don’t report it on canny.

acoustic yew
#

is there no option to force write defaults on? my animator had it set on but obviously was changed by the update

#

we going to be stuck making reset animations for everything now?

charred hornet
#

and what i was trying to say is that if they beta was open a little bit longer then maybe people would have caught the bugs, instead of rolling out and update where half the time the game doesn't function as intended

languid beacon
#

we going to be stuck making reset animations for everything now?
@acoustic yew I’m pretty sure it’s going to get fixed I wouldn’t bother trying to patch an avatar just for temporary behavior for one build

acoustic yew
#

I would hope so, this change seems really unnecessary considering I've never once heard anyone even speak of write defaults before

green marsh
#

where my crouching animation at tho

languid beacon
#

More useful is making some reproducible steps if you happen to have the issue on a public avatar

acoustic yew
#

what was the reasoning behind this, have they said?

languid beacon
#

what was the reasoning behind this, have they said?
@acoustic yew I mean they did mention something about them really needing a QA tester, does that count?

acoustic yew
#

no, I'm asking what the reason is for the cahnge? what is forcing WD off supposed to improve and how is it supposed to do that?

#

you shouldn't change something, especially retroactively, for no discernible reason with no obvious benefit to the user

languid beacon
#

I am not sure that it’s a safe assumption that it was intentional

acoustic yew
#

it definitely was, look at their update notes, they talked about write defaults

#

maybe not the retroactive part but still my question stands, why change something without an obvious benefit

I can also report that I wasn't able to hear multiple people, all friends

#

I don't understand the lack of rollback or lack of an anouncement post

acoustic yew
#

that's what is seems like to me, really really strange that it would be forced on us

charred drum
#

Anyway, I'm pinging you again, since it's the only reliable way thus far to get any response.
Aside from 3.0 WD being broken for no good reason (save your "i do that, you have to do that too, now"), you have general stability issues, especially with sync requests sometimes failing and straight up crashing the client, you have moderations that actually don't register voice muting, you have cloning that seems to be stuck to the init value, you have param desync, you have testing avatars being cached. Is that good enought for starters, @covert chasm ? Canny is nice and all, but you have faster comms right here to figure it out anyway with all the reports.

When can we expect to see at least a temporary fix, and should we even bother keeping the WD on states if you're so hellbent on keeping them off for no good reason? Should we just start remaking avatars just because, or will this be actually fixed? When will the rollback happen, as the current build is very unstable?
@jolly plume will remaking the avatars work? Do you mean updating the SDK and reuploading?

covert chasm
#

WD has nothing to do with the bug we're experiencing. It is a separate issue, from what we're seeing. Again, looking into it. Please don't spam me (or team members) with pings, we're trying to get this figured out and solved for you. Your patience is appreciated. 🙂

dumb question, what's WD?

languid beacon
#

Write defaults it’s an animator layer option

charred drum
#

ah

covert chasm
#

I strongly encourage you to post to Canny/Feedback as it allows us to have a static, stable source of information with replication steps that we can easily link to in internal tracking. Linking to random Discord messages isn't really, uh, a thing that we want to do.

regal furnace
#

my last 2 cannys were ignored though

soft timber
#

oh right, have people also had issues with cloning public avatars? e.g. having cloning on while wearing a public avatar, but for others it's greyed out until they show/hide you?

regal furnace
#

and these were pretty bad bugs

covert chasm
#

I understand. I am giving you a pathway to report these issues in an effective way. If you don't want to do that, I can't offer other solutions to you.

languid beacon
#

I have a question for you all. So far all of the issues I’m seeing are remote only, that is the avatar looks to be working perfectly for myself I didn’t even know there was an issue until other people say it looks broken. Is that the case for everyone else?

regal furnace
#

why should i use a way if it gets ignored anyway?

covert chasm
#

Canny posts are not ignored. We cannot respond to every single Canny posts.

languid beacon
#

It would be nice if instead of complaining people would describe what they are seeing

charred drum
#

they're aware of the issues, hounding them won't do much at this point

regal furnace
#

its not in planned, not reviewing, nothing. it pretty much gets ignored. Both the loading bug when changing worlds and the lagspikes are in this game for over 4 months now, and i havent heared a single statement about fixing it yet. Even my cannies about this are dead

covert chasm
#

We do not accept bug reports via Discord messages. You must post them as a Feedback/Canny item.

@covert chasm Im real jonah

Why ping a dev just to get mad at him lmao

charred drum

ya

languid beacon
#

I think you all need to realize that complaining doesn’t help at all people actually describing problems and providing examples of broken content is what helps get things fixed. And the vast majority of you are very unwilling to do that lol

charred drum
#

I'll file a bug, I do that as part of my day job. But I assume that all the issues we're talking baout are already filed. no?

charred drum
#

then why are you complaining that you don't know where the issues are?

covert chasm
#

@regal furnace Although I appreciate those reports (and we've improved avatar loading speed in the last few releases, and will have future improvements coming), at the moment we're triaging and looking into bugs with the latest release.

languid beacon
#

But I assume that all the issues we're talking baout are already filed. no?
@charred drum everyone assumes that. That’s why official canny bug reports rarely get filed. Everyone assumes someone else must have done it already. There aren’t very many bug reports. Even less ones with example content and reproducible steps.

only problem is these bugs are in the game for 4 months now

It doesn’t matter how long a bug is in a game if it’s not reported on canny lol 

regal furnace
#

im grateful for your efforts in this game, dont get me wrong, but it really feels like we get ignored sometimes

charred hornet
#

all these bugs are on the canny and have so far been ignored

languid beacon
#

I don’t know I see quite a number of them marked as fixed

#

Unless you mean the ones not marked as fixed aren’t fixed in which case yes that’s true

covert chasm
#

@regal furnace Some issues have higher priorities, and as I noted in my previous message, the second one has been addressed with this release and some previous releases-- the first I've seen rarely, but haven't ever seen reliable replication steps. Either way. VRChat has a good number of bugs (ha) that we're working on, and triage is part of the game

#

Reporting is useful but it does not guarantee immediate, decisive, effective attention

#

It does, however, give us useful information

frosty veldt
#

Some issues arn't as important as others, just because a bug doesn't get the dev thumbs of approval doesn't mean they haven't seen it

regal furnace
#

when i encounter them again, i just record them. Only problem is they are random

covert chasm

And is certainly far more useful than "game broke" spoken in a Discord channel that disappears into chaos after a few hours 🙂

Yall are entitled af. Rather than ignoring Tup and complaining non stop here, do something useful, go to Canny, and make a post if you are having an issue that isn't already documented. everyone is quick to go "FIX IT" but hardly anyone is willing to go to Canny and actually make a proper bug report.

charred hornet
#

there have been canny posts

sly veldt

@broken plover I read the canny multiple times a week. I don't always respond to them but they get logged into a hopper for sorting. Then production, design, etc. depending on priority, scope, resources, dependencies, etc.

i already made 2 posts, im trying to get steamvr up (buggy piece of sh*t) and try to reproduce these bugs and record them

sly veldt

Recording and info is always super helpful

covert chasm
#

ever since the avatar 3.0 update the viewpoint would move up and down when you crouch
@celest flower I just confirmed that change is intentional. "Instant change" viewpoint was the previous pre-avatars-3.0 behavior, people wanted that back and reported it as a bug, so it got changed back. It didn't make it into the notes, though.

sly veldt
#

the more info to repro the better

regal furnace

because its not game breaking?

you can still hop on and talk to others, what stops you from it?

We has been confirmed that to be able repaired this problem by the person of talking side will be restarting or changing theirs avatar.
but in some case still has problem after try that's procedure.

Add details on this one. It's the worst bug I'm aware of since the update

#

since they said info to reproduce will help

covert chasm
#

We are actively working on fixes and plan on releasing a patch with fixes. Rolling back will complicate matters, will be essentially unnecessary work, and there are no present game-is-exploding-and-nobody-can-log-in issues, which is essentially the only thing we roll back for.

The voice bug is definitely major and is the primary issue we're working on currently (and from what I'm reading, looks like we're close to a solution)

#

in short, a roll-back will not be occuring

charred hornet
#

yes early access, which is why its important that these bugs are known and fixed
