well, youtube and the official documentation helped me ;)
I need hands on ;-;
what you need is interest, the rest comes from alone ;)
So I'll be able to use my pc vr sone all I need is a new graphics card and I'll be able to
Soon*
that outfit I made from scratch for example: https://paste.cerny.li/9nIV/
Katy you are very wise
I'm still learning how to bake textures better >.>
naa, I'm just learning
I started using blender like 4 months ago or so?
I first opened Blender like three years ago and I can only make a cube still
Cube is what you start with when you open it
...


that reminds me of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDeVyxtdSUk
blender default cubes are a renewable energy source
^^
I really should change my default scene... It kinda gets annoying to delete it all the time
What I want as an avatar
yup, it's public, together with about 10-15 other versions of it
Aww that's a bummer
but at the moment, the newer ones are broken, because of that mess they introduced >.>
Lol
The client team's pushing pretty hard on that atm fwiw 
Well that's great
The client team's pushing pretty hard on that atm fwiw :cesAAA:
not to sound rude or anything, I know how hard it can be, but I hope so they are working overtime...
I just still don't understand why you guys didn't revert back to the previous version and fixed that stuff in the beta branch...
Talking about disaster recovery ;)
Yo katy hypothetically speaking if I was to give you like any avatar not saying I will or you'll even do it but could you edit the top piece to an ahegio mix?
I'm not sure I understand what you want ;)
Have you ever seen an ahegio hoodie
you mean Ahegao?
Can't really answer that, I just keep the servers and api stuff up and running.
To be honest I typically don't even know what's in most patches until like 20 minutes before they go out unless there's a feature that I worked on with a client engineer.
I trust the rest of the team enough to have had a good reason to not rollback though.
well, I probably could do that, depending how the UV map looks like
Katy excuse my misspelling also lit
Would it be possible to do it to a quest avatar?
Nyx, as a SysAdmin myself, that kinda sounds like there wasn't a disaster recovery plan xD And I never trust devs... they always break stuff >.>
Would it be possible to do it to a quest avatar?
@clear warren sure, it's just a texture.
Bet sounds awesome
would consider myself more of a mix of web development + devops over sysadmin, but I just happen to usually be the one around at early morning hours when things break.
but as I mentioned before, I don't mean that in a bad way or anything. I know that the dev team is doing their best to fix it, and I hope they will have some fixes ready soon (:
Yeah, hope so too. I'd consider myself as much of a VRChat player as y'all, except I'm just on the server team as well.
Played for a good ~2.5 years with about 2k hours before I joined the team :p
Oh, I know the feeling... I'm the one who gets woken up in the night a lot, because the monitoring system detected something...
I'm usually drinking with friends in VRChat and then once I get off at like 3am something ends up breaking and I'm just 
just to find out that one of the devs corrupted a database or so with the latest update, without notice...
.<
there is a reason my main avatar has that hoody: https://paste.cerny.li/vUdM/
if you can't read it: https://paste.cerny.li/RNLs/
yeah... I usually have a USB to RS-232 adapter on hand
interfacing with switches, firewalls and stuff
vim button, arch button, debian button, unsure of the other two
Can't see them too well 
the black one is "No!" and the red one is "zabbix" the monitoring system I use at work and privatly
the buttons where actually one of the first assets I made from scratch in Blender :3
the chain with the USB sticks where the second one or so :3
hdmi to garden hose connector
Nice! Doesn't seem too bad to make, but I'd spend like... four hours or so on it trying to remember how to use Blender
Which is generally the once-every-three-months that I use Blender
yeah... I tried to use blender some years ago to fix a 3D model for 3D printing, but I failed... they made the UI SOOOO much better with 2.80...
I ended up learning a bit of it because of VRChat way long ago, but ended up a bit lost in the newer UI for a while until I just stopped using it long enough to forget about how to even use it in the first place and could relearn it
.<
I also made some eastereggs below my flip-flops: https://paste.cerny.li/2vj/
It's kinda funny, because almost all who laugh when they see that worked at some point as a SysAdmin, almost all others don't get it :P
I don't think so... but we still have hundreds of PC's at work who have them
nowdays I think the key is embedded in the UEFI >.>
but I'm not sure, I'm mostly working with older hardware (just some months ago I retired our last Pentium 4 Server >.>)
Curious, what these bugs people are talking about with 3.0 avatars?
Yeah.
our internal Mailserver wasn't affected by it, because it used an older openssl version, before they introduced the bug, that one was running on a dualsocket Pentium III machine >.<
So you guys just left it because "its more secure"?
I'm updating hard- and software since a while, because before I started working there again, almost nobody maintained the infrastructure >.>
well, more like: it's running, don't change it
That sounds like a big uptaking. Hopefully push-back from higher-ups wasn't really hard
well... it's a NGO, and I'm a board member, so I'm one of the higher-ups, and there is nobody over me ;)
but no money, so we use the hardware we have at hand and get's donated
Well that's a good way to go about getting stuff done I guess.
Was assuming some kind of corporate company
Which uh.
yikes
yes and no, but that would be complicated to explain :P
well, there exists a term for that: technical debt, and a LOT of companies have that, also banks, government agencies, etc...
Ay kat I'm in the midst of stuff and I was wondering if I could further my questions in dms to cause less confusion
Technical debt's a pretty common term in the development field, but figured it was probably called something different when referring to actual server infra.
naa
"hey them things oooold" debt
normally it's not the servers which are the problem if they are old, it's the software
@clear warren sure
Hey I just wanted to say thank you to all the people that coded and developed this game I mean I know I'm only a small person in this huge server but honestly I've already found my natural high bro
Just the fact that I get to do whatever I want and be whoever I want. it's just so satisfying
so slight issue with the update so most my friends are full body users and i made a ride for halloween so basically we cant use the chairs now thanks vrc

i sure hope you fix this before tonight i want to use the chairs instead of telling friends they cant ride if fullbody
chairs sure dont like giving tracking back right now, made a button that reset tracking on mine
only happen first time you sit, after that they behave
well i know few Halloween maps that are rides as well that they don't work any more unless i turn off fullbody but telling FB user to shut off tracking is a no we don't like to shut them off it gets rid of the emersion.
VRChat's Among us is epic, even though I haven't tried it but watched a yt play it
I should try that, been playing Among Us a bit lately (the normal game)
There's currently a second Among Us map that will only be live for the next 2 days - it's an alternate map where every room is eletrical
Sounds cool
they need to fix swiping the card lmao
@modern sand I have my cloning off in vrchat and it says its on and lets people clone it, i reset my cloning and rejoin nothing happens.
Ey anyone know a good world for skins with drawing pens built in
Or a good furry skin world
na
Turn cloning on and back off again, should usually work
i tried
Mmm dunno then unless they are using a mod to force clone it
Could also just be a bug, might be worth making a Canny for it
either cloning is broken or they have a modded client
Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was just broken
its an update bug
I could see someone who has me blocked after the update
ik
API confirms that yes, they still have me muted and blocked, but I could see them when I joined without the mute icon either
Which I think is a huge problem that that's even possible but I don't have nearly enough people blocked to be able to test it, nor are there many who have me blocked that I would run into
this is a big problem
Yup
I do have two people blocked who are a huge problem if they could see me again all of the sudden so this is bad, but I can't really test anything relating to that
someone ask the workers about it being fixed
Ye, I even bought a VR
I play it as if it were my job. Religiously and every day. I only sleep to VRChat Loading screen music (new version) 1 hour on loop.
I have done so... for the most part (not THAT religiously)... fairly recently. Now, I also have favors to fulfill elsewhere.
Arigato... Gyro...
New version music π. Old version all the way
Gotta agree with tate, old music was the real mvp

resetting avatar after switching to it seems to make av3 work for others

Halloween in vrchat sound amazing
Imma do that tonight
I can't because of life and my garbage pc
Oof
Hope you have fun though
Thanks
you're welcome
hope you have a nice week and day as well
and hope you make some friends while you are there
and have an amazing time there
Whenever I do like anything with unity my laptop blue screens lol
Has there been any word on if they'll fix gestures today?
How's everyone doin!
Halloween in vrchat sound amazing
@solar sundial it's awesome, but not awesome when you and your friends spend a ton of time making halloween avatars only to have all gestures and animations be broken during the party π¦
Oof
Suppose to be doing a halloween event today but VRC decided it was a GREAT idea to release a broken update that ruined it entirely with testers that bang rocks together and calls it good. Thanks guys. Good job.
exactly !
duck this duck
honestly like wtf.....e
every time i see a vrc update i think : what did they break this time
amazaing
thats just the update. that normal for mods. but honestly.....vrc sdk 3 is litteraly still in his "child shoes" as we germans like to say
they "update" it and ups....its broken.....yyaaaaaaay.....iam not drunk enough to ignore that shit iam sorry
-does a emote that is not allowed in this server-
π€
good night....-does a pat emote-
VRChat themed its Halloween around SCP stuff and now we can't even run our planned SCP event because they refused to roll back the update. I have a lot of mixed feelings.
I found out how hard this game is without a mic
I don't have one so communication is π
is the oculus quest 2 worth to buy? I really want it
VRChat themed its Halloween around SCP stuff and now we can't even run our planned SCP event because they refused to roll back the update. I have a lot of mixed feelings.
Pretty peeved that VRC pushed an untested major content creation update that broke everything 3 days before a major holiday happening on a saturday

@magic ferry
β¬οΈ
is the oculus quest 2 worth to buy? I really want it
@gray cave depends, considering you're on a vrchat server I'll assume you wanna play vrchat... do you have a pc for quest link? cause the quest 2 is great for everything, just limited on vrchat to the quest limitations.. so most of the time you'll see people as robots without the link
I found out how hard this game is without a mic
there's avatars with pencils that can make it easier to communicte, along with pencils in worlds
Was the previous update supposed to fix 3.0 avatars for FBT?
uh- does anybody wanna play doe ?
Not sure about the Quest 2 honestly, I've been hearing a lot about Facebook's attempts to censor actions by bricking your headset if you make "rude gestures" or "invade personal space" by tracking your motion while using the headset
@vocal shard yeah i do have the link cable and a good pc.
No one can still see the animations on my 3.0 avatars if I'm in FBT
oh my god i thought it was a joke but no it's actually real https://www.roadtovr.com/facebook-expanded-vr-policies-oculus-quest-2-privacy-policy-terms-of-service/
then go for it, quest 2 so far is a really solid and inexpensive option, if you don't mind the known minuses (like fb) :3 I have a quest 2 and I had a quest 1 before, it's a big step up
bricking is more then you beeing banned
imagine if samsung made you agree to terms of service on their phones where you couldnt curse on phone conversations or write curse words or be rude to others
Their plan is to disable your headset and your FB account if you're rude to people in game
that should absolutely not be up to samsung or to oculus to monitor or decide
It's basically bricking it
the headset doesnt get destroyed so its not bricked
Also with that, if you ever disable your FB account all your bought oculus games will vanish too.
Yeah, i think that the FB is not that big of a deal to be honest. So i will buy the guest 2 pretty soon
I mean it'll literally lock you out of using your FB or Oculus account, preventing you from launching games
basically bricked unless you jailbreak it
And if you use an fake account you can get banned without an appeal.
Even if its not really an fake account. Because what are you gonna do? Not use facebook on your quest?
FB is going full dictatorship with Oculus, I'm gonna switch off of it as soon as I can afford it
yea these policies are just unreasonable
considering quest runs on android im pretty sure people will find workarounds, also I hope fb gets enough backlash for this, that sounds awful
Not only that, but FB forced production to end on the Oculus CV1 Rift because they're built like tanks that last forever, so they just demanded that they stop production so they could release easier to break headsets to make more money
imagine a game uses a special hand gesture but their highly trained algorithms and highly trained outsourced workers detect it as a sexual gesture so your facebook gets banned and say goodbye to your oculus account
And if you use an fake account you can get banned without an appeal.
Even if its not really an fake account. Because what are you gonna do? Not use facebook on your quest?
@umbral reef depends, what a lot of people misunderstand is that you are 100% allowed to use an alias on fb that isn't your real name, you just gotta prove to them you're known under said alias if they ask and your account will be fine
Anyone wanna hangout?
i used an alias on a facebook account like a year ago and my account got locked because they wanted me to submit national ID or passport to prove its my name
considering quest runs on android im pretty sure people will find workarounds, also I hope fb gets enough backlash for this, that sounds awful
@vocal shard It already got 'broken' open. But facebook can just push one software update and unless a game goes out of its way (or allows you to sideload old versions then) its useless.
If your talking about fully opening up the headset, you quickly get into the problem of tracking and even running the programs also being directly part of what you just got rid of.
imagine a game uses a special hand gesture but their highly trained algorithms and highly trained outsourced workers detect it as a sexual gesture so your facebook gets banned and say goodbye to your oculus account
@gray edge imagine you're joking with friends and doing gestures, or doing sexual gestures on accident while messing around, it's just a stupid approach to it
yea its just not something that should ever be up to the hardware manufacturer to decide
yuppp, that should be handled by the games and apps
cant joke around and be rude with your friends or else zuckerberg will lay the ban hammer upon you
is that the flag of belarus?
also this is from the company that asked people to enter their email password to verify their email addresses
yea i think you're the first person to notice over the like 2 months ive had this picture @mellow palm
i used an alias on a facebook account like a year ago and my account got locked because they wanted me to submit national ID or passport to prove its my name
@gray edge oh I got this too, I sent them the ID and explained my alias is one im known as even tho it doesn't resemble my legal name, they unlocked the account after
no but i support freedom
I don't know what's going on. But i agree with you guys. Also hope you guys have a lovely week and day and if you guys need someone to talk too. I'm here for you also I agree you just can't joke anymore or zuckerberg will slap you with a ban hammer
not many news reports make it out of there in the past weeks/months
I wish them the best
from what ive seen very nice people
just banning you off the entire headset and your account for joking about pp with your friends on a game is a next level dick move xD
i think there's a strike in belarus rn
Agreed Nini
this makes me want to switch off Oculus so much, gotta save up
Facebook bad was the topic
ey, is there gonna be some room where I can watch the election with others live? in vrchat or some other vr thing? lol
So nothing new eh?
quest 2 monitoring your activities while in VR to make sure you comply with their terms of service that forbids being rude or making sexual gestures
hi
Its a shame that facebook made the quest so restricted
I would have bought it otherwise
but now I will probably have to reside to a used vive
I have a quest 2 too
π
it's still a good headset, just unlucky its owned by fb
why is it restricted Fox?
I'm getting a quest 2π
look
has anyone actually experienced facebook listening to your conversations? it mostly sounds like fear
i cant watch that video
why is it restricted Fox?
@outer cedar Because facebook makes money by taking it from game developers and not selling there headset.
Also all the jazz you hear about facebook is true. Its really that simple, not hard to check and learn yourself.
The vive isnt produced anymore so I will have to get a used one,
and used vr headsets are not always easy to find in the price range and quality id like
tis
or distance.
why
@umbral reef is it true that people are talking politics or something controversial, in a private room in some vr place, vrchat for example, and they get banned on Oculus?
Hun you get banned from occulus for whatever reason
this is the first time I'm hearing of this but seeing where fb is headed it might soon be reality
the bot that locates "fake accounts" goes haywire on any newly made account be it real or fake
By there ToS yes.
If your directly in the social game facebook made then its 105% realistic.
They stated so publicly and clearly and even gave an example that they record everything you say and do within there own game so a moderator can look at it later.
thay had a fake fb acc thats why thay got baned
@umbral reef In games like Venues and the upcoming Facebook chat, yes. But that's logic.
great thanks fb
But not on all games and virtual desktop etc
f
Why cant the vive just be mast produced and put on the shelves again for the same price as the quest
like seriously
dfS
There ToS still applies over all platforms and systems.
They might not actively look for it, but they are within there rights to take action.
Just takes one developer to join them and your fucked without any appeal.
Not cost effective
By there ToS yes.
If your directly in the social game facebook made then its 105% realistic.

@umbral reef I hope they stick to humans looking at it if they already have to do this shit, otherwise some AI would just ban people unfairly :v
@umbral reef Same was with Xbox Live
I find it a disgrace that htc left the vr market like this
putting all their eggs in one basket
and the failing miserably
Of course they gotta state that in their rights. It's like... many rules but it's not to be taken literally. It's for judges etc.
It isnt
Proof?
It sounds like your fear is talking, not facts because, I never heard anyone being banned over talking privately with someone
I mean the way fb works now is that they don't take action unless you're reported manually by a user or flagged for using specific words or imagery that sets off their AI and sends your post to be reviewed by moderators
Bruh
You just shilling for facebook by now?
Literally go read there community standards, its in there.
The community standard people have to follow to not get blocked form there service.
Not even there ToS, the one that has any form of legal worth.
idk how this translates to VR tho
Ok from what I'm hearing now fb is just crap and we all know that. But now, I'm not really sure if i should get a quest 2 from what you guys said before.π
dont and wait a month or two
It's seriously fear talking, it's really not that black and white, like, you just talk and bam you're banned or in trouble, lol
Also the policy is still new.
Not even a month old. Ofcours you havent seen someone banned for that yet.
see what happens to the market and the quest itself
There has been literally hundreds of accounts banned already and those users lose access to the quest. Even legit accounts that have done nothing wrong, and it's a big ordeal to get it fixed. One of the vrchat devs had their account banned 3 times without even doing anything to offend the oculus/facebook rules
i would definitely hold off until the kinks are sorted out
Okay okay
But have they been unbanned tho?
dont and wait a month or two
Got ya
Haha good joke sonny
They had to send in their drivers license... Multiple times
Ah it's about the facebook account thing
where do you take this info from Jamie? :o
That's how facebook validates accounts that it flags
After appealing it with there high cloud account yes.
But plenty have not, go on twitter or reddit and look for the masses of people who got banned and denied there appeal.
Or even better yet- Didnt even get to appeal.
They tweeted it
jamie even then a lot of people have been gotten refused to unlock their acfount
damn
I had no idea this was happening
But @vocal shard Have there been cases where people are just talking someone, about politics or something, but not too crazy... and they got banned? I don't believe that.
It probably going to wind up with facebook being sued again tbh
Desktop of me is going to be my new home for a bit
@eager portal For what? They aint breaking any laws according to the us
Worse that happens is they change there stance within europa
But for US and other consumers worldwide its still messed up
thats why there are no quests2 in germany available
Technically IIRC and i could be wrong, since they have sold a device they can no longer use and its not evident that its the user fault, they could be sued but i could be wrong
sonny it depends tbh, what people might deem to just be controversial could already fall under some guideline violation, fb deems some questionable stuff as violations. using specific words could easily get actions taken against you
@vocal shard Proof? It's all speculation. I don't actually see this happening.
And since facebook is already facing alot of backlash and what not, it wouldn't surprise me if it eventually get brought in front of a judge
@outer cedar that's in the Facebook tos. When the quest 2 launched, on that day a rule was changed that said they can deactivate your account if they find you breaking any of their policies, or making sexual gestures, or being in peoples personal space. Along with the policies, facebook has already deactivated accounts before quest due to polictial stuff
but im no expert
@vocal shard Proof? It's all speculation. I don't actually see this happening.
@outer cedar I worked as a content Moderator for fb
Honestly looking back on my pitch black humour id probably get banned in minutes
so thars a yikes
@eager portal To use the device you gotta confirm you agree to there ToS and other long lists of stuff.
Its the same how those smart TV's are allowed you track you and brick themself if they cant anymore.
fuck oculus and fuck facebook, that's all
UwU
Reee
you tell them brother
You tell them step brother
Literally
@mellow palm thats a thing yea, I also got very black humor
@tall osprey wow okay! But... is it so that Quest 2 owners have been banned while just talking with people? And is it banned or nothing, or what is the punishment? And if they do look at the report, what do they look at? Do they record the talk?
oof
Again- The policy isnt even a month old and its almost tradition of facebook to only enact there policies after they been there for a while.
But even if you dont get banned for doing so ingame or on the quest platform itself. Being banned on the facebook website has the exact same results.
Ive heard that the quest has succesfully been jailbreaked but I doubt it will have any significance
@tall osprey wow okay! But... is it so that Quest 2 owners have been banned while just talking with people? And is it banned or nothing, or what is the punishment? And if they do look at the report, what do they look at? Do they record the talk?
@outer cedar idk about the quest or quest 2 specific actions they take, I just worked on fb as in their social media site itself, but if it's anything similar just saying something like calling a person dumb could already get action taken against you, probably not a straight up ban cause there are tiers to how severely a violation is punished, depending on which tier it falls into. some speech might get you straight up banned tho :v
Facebook will patch the security flaw as soon as its public forcing the users to use an older OS which means no further updates or software fixes
Ahhh okay
so the community would have to carry it on its own
You need a software version resistant jailbreak what i highly doubt is the case as they still have not released the method
And I will bet my ass on it that they will try to sue the people to the ground who jailbreaked it
Depedning where they live its totally legal
with their armada of lawyers
But I think that Facebook VR policies only apply in their own Facebook apps. Not on Vrchat for example.
nope.
As far as I know from complaints, if the AI is confident that your account is fake, it will be banned. You don't have to post or say anything.
it applies everywhere I think
@strong plume you think... you go for the negative, hahahaa, not good, you want it to be bad ahaha
if youre using an occulus device youre under constant surveilance
Sonny Im a pessimist.
yea im a realist
Your not a realist
yeah whatever, thats just a belief system, I cant do anything with that
I used to really defend oculus. Even when facebook bought it in 2014 I defended it. It was only after this last policy change that I finally gave up on them
good
No christianity is a believe system, Pessimism is a mindset
cuz fuck 'em
I dont have a system behind it
its just that I gather remember and process data based on this attitude
Literally had someone who worked for facebook moderation tell you it ain't a joke
It's clearly written in there user conduct document
It's also in there ToS
We have examples of facebook enacting there other policies already in-game
We have statements that they will be taking action
@vocal shard But Jamie... there is a difference in having policies, and actually forcing them upon people. There are also a lot of policies regarding contracts usually, but they don't actually use it, but it's just because policies are needed in the court.
What the fuck more do you need beside a literal smoking gun video
@vocal shard I been consistent in my Facebook hate π
If I will see people getting banned for just behaving normally, then I will be more careful, but until then, I don't see proof of it
Fb fucked everything. Idiots they are

Well I know for sure fb likes monitoring and controlling everything they can. as for your question of what they look at, they look at the context in which some action was taken or speech was used, there are strict differences between what counts as a violation and what doesn't, even if you used for example a slur word, context matters in every case. however the issue here is more them potentially overall banning you off the whole headset, which you purchased, rendering everything you've bought useless, that's where I see the issue, not with them enforcing guidelines on their services, this is a piece of hardware and not their website or something :v

Biometric data gathering plus recordings of your every move in vr
sounds like data that could make a shit ton of money
@vocal shard I understand your concern. Has that happened though? I understand that it's possible. But is it actually happening? People banned for peanuts?
@outer cedar youre that one dude on the titanic asking if anyone has drowned yet while half of the ship is already under water
Because Xbox Live had these policies too I think, policies are usually very wide... but doesn't mean they force them upon you.
People are literally banned seconds after making their account O.O
It's been happening since launch
yes, I've personally seen people get unfairly banned off fb before, by poor judgment of the majority of moderators, it happens, like every few thousand reports one will be treated unfairly and suffers unjustified consequences.
@vocal shard And they get banned for a lifetime?
im not sure since we didnt get to see what happened to their account afterwards, if they got an appeal or not or were able to get it back sadly
@outer cedar youre that one dude on the titanic asking if anyone has drowned yet while half of the ship is already under water
@mellow palm I totally understand the concern. But I also see that people just wind eachother up with even worse outlooks on it... which makes it not very objective... I just try to see it from both sides
Like i literally dont understand how low your bar is of 'unless i cant say X thing or Y action anywhere its fine'
You jusr skipped over my metaphor lol
I have read some of those who got banned too, and now they forcing people to go facebook, people may make profiles with fake names and that can get them banned in turn as well. I understand if they would make such fake profile because facebook being known with how they handle sensitive data.. good thing I went with Vive and when I heard facebook took over oculus I already was pretty sure about not going to oculus any time soon
You jusr skipped over my metaphor lol
@mellow palm sigh
I totally understand the fear about Facebook, but it also has a touch of paranoia to it imo. But yeah, maybe I'm naieve, who knows.
I'm just saving up rn to buy a different headset later, I hope however fb understands that if they go the direction described they might simply put people off from buying their product in the first place, and change it at a later date
Every company has these sort of policies, Steam and Microsoft and Sony has them too
@vocal shard Then you go on an app owned by some company with the same kinda policies and you get banned on that app/game
it all comes down to how greatly this will affect their sales tbh, they're so big they don't have to worry about some people crying anymore sadly
yea that's the difference tho, there I'd get banned off the app, with fb I'd get banned off the whole headset
I'm just saving up rn to buy a different headset later, I hope however fb understands that if they go the direction described they might simply put people off from buying their product in the first place, and change it at a later date
surely stopped me from buying the quest two
it's a difference, not an insignificant one at that
I think it's pretty normal that they have some policies, like sexual gestures etc... personally I don't care but if you look at Venues, it's super realistic... would be weird if there was no one watching that. And there will come a chatgame like Venues, way bigger, by Facebook. That's their plan, a virtual Facebook world. Of course there are policies needed for that.
Every company has these sort of policies, Steam and Microsoft and Sony has them too
@outer cedar true, however steam, Microsoft and Sony don't monitor your behavior across every game and app available on their platforms at all times
And like I said, if you are on Xbox Live or Playstation Live, you can also be reported and they will review how you behaved
They also dont block your computer if you fuck up
Facebook literally bricks your device dude
300 dollar paperweight
Yeah but still
yup what fox said
What but still
Problem is that the headset is cheap and needs no PC
You could literally need to send in a copy of your ID by default to facebook to use the headset and it would still sell like hot cakes
I agree that it should not be forced, to login... that I totally agree on. But the policies in general are needed of course
This only gets already established users and companies to stay off the quest. But who needs those users anyway.
their intention of trying to implement guidelines isn't inherently bad, I agree people shouldn't harass others, but the execution as it looks like rn is highly questionable
@umbral reef facebook intentionally underpriced it, they are making a loss.
dirty tactic to get rid of competitors but they have the money to do it
But Nini, that execution on the Quest 2 itself, has not been proven to be going that bad. Sounds more like a very bad launch
Oh they are prob selling it at production costs.
Not making a profit at all but also no loss and instead just get it from game sales
As you cant buy games anywhere else kekw
Profit is not of 2020. Look at Uber and all those kinda companies. They don't make profit
Oh another major issue
They make monopoly
Monopoly is more important than profit in 2020
Monopoly equals profit in the long run dum dum
Yeah, but, it's a very long run but they don't care, they got enough investors
Well facebook stated that they want to push everything to become the market leader in VR
youve seen what happened to the cpu and gpu market after they had monopolies
price rising quality and innocation stagnating
and consumer rights?
a thinf of the past
Still though, you guys gotta admit, it's not like everyone is getting banned now for talking about black lives matter or trump/biden or something, lol. It's more the fear that they have that power, that the world is talking about now.
Nah they just ban you without giving you a reason and dont let you appeal anything kekw
And you guys say that all the apps are monitored constantly, like, every word I say... but I don't believe that. It's not an automatic system... only when you get reported for something
Sorta strayed away from VRC there
this is also why I said, this depends a lot on how far they will reach into people's behavior on the quest.... if they do translate their known algorithm from their fb page over to the quest, that might not be the best move cause their AI still isn't as good as they'd like to believe, it flags so many things contextually wrong, yet they decided to cut their human moderators, which are needed to properly judge a situation tho.. so I hope those cut moderators are now being replaced by quest moderators that evaluate situations... otherwise they're looking at legal charges of people unfairly banned
@outer cedar you get recorded 24/7 but it will only be manually viewed once reported I believe
its still a nervewrecking thing
@mellow palm LOL they never have the database to record every sound
of 6 billion people
????
They stated that within there own games and platforms they record the last 30-15 minutes.
@vocal shard yea but there is no AI monitoring on the Quest of course
and believe me fb does have the tech for that
Only if reported like I said
mass suirveilance and data gathering is their favourite thing
you see, its like the shadowplay option in nvidia
Also monitoring =/= saving all the data
They can just save it once you get reported and untill then just monitor it
My wording was off then
how do you know? Google home and Alexa have been monitoring every sound since they launched (source: a coworker that used to work as an Alexa moderator told me)
@umbral reef So... you think that if I get reported, a person will look back at all the things I did on my Quest, from watching porn (lol jk) to what I said to my mom in my room to the words I said in vrchat? Going weeks back?
the technology is long here
I mean its kinda obvious that they record everythinf
Its amazing you can even find a doorknob on a door with the insane logic leaps you make
If I get reported, they will only check what I said in that particular conversation with that person
yes, the rest is still stored tho
@umbral reef I don't get what you mean :p
the rest is still stored but only a part will get reviewed
But they don't open that right?
It's kinda because they are based in USA, they have almost no rules there
all of it gets sorted into the right categories, there are moderators that just teach the AI what which part of the recording means
in Europe this would never happen
so yes, everything gets listened to multiple times by moderators
Exactly--
They do record that, they dont save all that information.
As you state 2 seconds after asking me, they only review the most recent video of you, thats what reporting is for.
They can in the future without a problem do it constantly if they wanted with there AI systems that also checks for that content on photo's/videos on there website.
facebook is already clashing with the EU about data gathering
@vocal shard But only the things that I did publicly. So... if I was in a game of Echo VR, they will maybe check the last 3 matches for example
Also as Fox said, FB is already clashing with EU over what they track, how they track, how long and how much they store it. And that applies to all there platforms including VR.
not really, for example how does your Google home or Alexa turn on when you say their name or mention locations, restaurants, etc in conversation with your spouse while the device is meant to be turned off? it doesn't ever turn off the microphone, so that it can respond to certain key words and assist you
Whatever... I feel like, privacy is something from the past and I am an open book anyway... until people get the banhammer for no reason, I will just stay laconic
so it has to listen in to catch those words
winter lake house party
Can anyone else not see their friend list??
@vocal shard Alright! Yeah, I totally understand your concern, don't get me wrong.
Whatever... I feel like, privacy is something from the past and I am an open book anyway... until people get the banhammer for no reason, I will just stay laconic
so youve just completely given up on arguing about it and give in to the 1984 like circuimstances of data collection?
But I also feel like, there is more nuance then black and white, they check everything or they are super bad etc. I don't think it's that simple
it's not so much that I'm afraid of getting caught doing something wrong, I don't think they care about me that much, but those are major cuts ino privacy and just because they're common use nowadays doesn't make them okay xD
Yeah I agree on that
You wouldnt run outside naked either cus "I have nothint to hide"
or rather that you would find it okay for people to strip away your clothing because you have nothing to hide
I'm not an: I got nothing to hide person, lol. That's not my argument
"Im an open book anyway"
Yeah, in general I am.
Like, I will say what I want, if I get trouble with that, then it's early enough to dive into this. But I don't see it happened that much right now, so it's more speculating so yea
I totally understand the speculation about the dangers.. but at the moment, it's not like people are constantly getting banned for behaving normally
That's all, so I will just see where it goes, keep an eye out... but not be like black/white that they are inherently bad.
i mean, personally I have made the tradeoff of my privacy to use the Internet and apps and games, cause I know if I want to use those I have to give up the privacy, but what I'm concerned about is the fact I even have to, why can't I play a game without having my (literal) every move watched
go to winter lake house on techno
@vocal shard But maybe there is a good reason for that? I'm devil's advocate here. They have to do that though. If they don't put that in their policies, they get really screwed by in court.
and I mean that within reason, ofc game moderators checking out reports and stuff is all fine, but why does the very device I'm using have to look at it too
Or what if there are terrorist using the app, for example? To recruit others? Stuff like that. Or other stuff. The court in America is very detail based
that excuse is so old and lame
yes, it's about Oculus Quest 2 uwu
I want tell tales
In policies they say that you cannot put a cat in the microwave because sometime long ago, someone put a cat in the microwave and they lost court
not conspiracy theories
Facebook wont get screwed in court
Your arguing it without even understanding why they would need it
That's how policies in us work lol
Politics are ew
Also thats an made up lawsuit (the microwave one)
policies*
xD
I'll waiting next year to get a vr headset then, hope by then something good will happen
Halloween on VRChat was lit
But guys... you think we are recorded on the Quest, outside of online games? Playing a singleplayer game and what I say to someone in my room? I don't believe that
ended up joining a misadventure of babysitting a drunk guy
oh no
Found two ladds hanging about
hmmmmm im not sure if they'd go as far as that, but as much as I'd like to believe they won't i don't see it impossible :v for that one we gotta wait and see tho
the one who was supposed to get drunk that day was still sober, while his friend who was supposed to take care of the other chugged a whole bottle in one go
@vocal shard But... if they would use the information they see, outside of the online game (which I totally understand they record what I say in an online game), they would never ever get away with that.
And I think you won't find a case of that
Why would they not? Its not illegal at all.
@umbral reef Has it happened tho?
Not yet to our knowledge
that's exactly why people are flipping, based on how they formulated it that could be very possible
And as i stated for the 3rd time by now. The new policy aint even a month old. So its hard to judge over it as its not even properly in effect.
Also banning someone off the whole headset for being an Asse in a game, usually you'd just get banned from the game instead
I miss the days where everyones mother had affairs with 13 year olds on modern warfare
Where toxic shittalking was normal
And i still find it insane that being fully banned of all oculus platforms without an appeal option is only worrying enough if it happens in singleplayer games.
that's the thing tho sonny, I don't see a problem for me personally either, but for matters like this we gotta look beyond just our personal effect.w. look at other players too
Mess up on the facebook platform? Bricked product.
Want to remove your facebook account? Bricked platform
Get bot-banned for what ever reason? Bricked platform
for example
or you're just having a bad day, it happens to the best of us, and go off on someone, boom, account banned, all games you purchased gone, can't use headset you paid for
that's the thing tho, they could do it, if they will is the other question, but it gives them the power to flip any day and be like "e h, yea i don't like you lemme perma ban you for that insult"
imagine like, you use your pc and Windows itself locks you out for calling someone a curse word in a game
People have gotten banned for literally having 2 quests...
yes this is what we've been talking about this whole time xD at least I have
Took them weeks to get it resolved
it hasn't happened but just the fact they leave themselves that backdoor, which not every company has contrary to your belief, is concerning
I mean at their size they will have the people anyway, what they're more concerned about are their investors and partners, to keep a squeaky clean image
Thats the commentary on the rule. The reason its writen like that is because they assume (right fully so) that an AI wont watch over you and it only triggers once someone reports you.
that's the thing tho, they do ban your console
Gotta say dude, you constantly moving the goal post is boring
Literal debate lord arguments
no cause why does fb have to monitor my games if the game companies are already doing that individually
I don't use Xbox live
they're poopy too
I understand this is a general trend but being like, only cause 2 other kids jump into the fire doesn't make it the right thing to do
they can easily make the games and apps that launch on their platform agree to comply with their guidelines and do the monitoring and banning for their individual games and apps
Keep in mind, facebook already limits what games can be on there store with the quest
and not have this whole. ordeal
So they can just limit smaller games that cant monitor there content if they wanted
Or provide there service to them.
Not like the developers can say no to that.
There only option then is to not sell there game on an really big platform
What if facebook was not shit π
I told you sonny, it's not cause why does fb have to look at my shit if the game or app im using is already doing that
Too bad they do all that and its not worth wasting time even thinking about if they would not.
don't just shove my argument aside and repeat what I already answered to please xD
Also I never said its inherently bad
I legit said it isn't a few messages back
the intent isn't bad but the execution is questionable
omg okay you're going in circles at this point
Dude- honestly, feel free to keep defending your bad buy.
You have been moving the goalpost on whats fine and what isnt during all of this.
You got to talk to someone who worked for them on there other platforms. Talked to someone who gets payed to know this stuff, because if i did even 1% of the shit facebook pulls id be risking jailtime.
You been arguing for the sake of arguing and it only makes you look dumb tbh-
looking dumb and being dumb is a difference... he didn't make it personal, just made it about your appearance based on this argument to him
winter lake house party ))))
Also you don't seem to be understanding both sides since you kept repeating the same arguments that have already been countered before...
I get that you're trying to not just go against fb right away, which is all fine and good, however if you did understand the concerns you'd see why it is so concerning, based on your convo here I can tell you don't really understand that tho
Good thing i been hating on big tech companies constantly for the past 4 years.
Reported companies more then once to EU instances with actual results and it being a field kinda close to my job.
Claiming you understand both sides while not knowing the basics is kinda whack.
Its fine you want to keep using facebook, staying sharp means nothing as most of facebook actions wont happen until its too late for you to take action against it.
Man I worked for fb, there are aspects I like about them, I'm not all "fb bad" in all regards, but if they mess up I call it how I see it
Ahh that's a shame. Because I agree that they monitor stuff, but I just don't believe the offline monitoring. And I asked for proof and you couldn't give me that (regarding quest 2) that makes it a circle for me too
@outer cedar idk why you keep persisting on offline monitor when I never claimed they monitor offline on quest?
Take care
this is why it's important to pay attention to what the other person is even saying...
Bai bai
if you did you would see i wasn't being black or white, tho
... just work on your regular reading capabilities, that'll be enough

then why do you keep talking?
It's like both sides are trying to get the last line in here. :p
you're correct :D
okay so, you kept repeating arguments that have already been countered without finding new ones to support your claims, you kept coming back to the offline monitoring argument even tho that wasn't any major focus to anyone other than you, you kept directly understanding the opposite of what we were saying, and then you wonder how we both lost our patience and why I won't shower you in compassion after you became passive aggressive yourself, okay. I'll go, have fun with whatever last word you're gonna reply with now 
Literally no one on this discord server knows how to have a normal discussion lmao
I'm just wondering what I walked in on lol
Well
It was a normal discussion but they lost patience because I didn't agree or something, I dunno. I was all the time trying to have a nice conversation lol
a peaceful discussion is rare nowadays
Im losing braincells trying to read back message by message
I did a little, but I was just like "I don't really care" lmao
a peaceful discussion is rare nowadays
@outer cedar says the person that deleted all the spicy comments of theirs xD
Yeah I don't like to be framed into something I'm not. Thank you. Bye
looks more like you're hiding it
yeah that's your freedom to decide
Damn
Lol, you are so dramatic Nini ahahahahaa
It's interesting to watch from the outside too, honestly though, at this point it's just gonna keep going until one of you blocks the other.
I just dont like this negative stuff, I just tried to have a nice conversation
so whatever
what else can I say whahaha
Hi everyone
Heya!
nerzarn, you're again right tbh
Ello stoxe
Hey
hi hi :3
Choose anger if you want, just remember, its a choice. My intentions were good β€οΈ
I feel welcome π
look the fake preaching is back
Hello people
Hai
Hey
Hello there
Some real people to talk to ;-;
Psyche
Hey hey
I'm a figment of your imagination
hi Mr mute
look the fake preaching is back
@vocal shard you are dark. π’ hope you find peace, bye
I'm just killing time while mc'ing in the background, real talk though, really looking forward to dabbling about vrchat with the updated friends syncing.
Not had chance yet.
Hi nini
Hello there
General Kenobi
Good
That actually is my default greeting nowadays. It wasn't even on purpose lol
Nice lol
Good
@charred copper
That's what she said
thats what she said
Oh, you two
does anyone know how to remove the legacy full body launch optionn? or do i jsut have to reinstall I wanteed to use the new calibration
How do you get a specific avatar? For example, I want a Monkey avatar. How do I get one?
You can either find a monkey model online and put it in vrchat or find someone in game who has one and clone off of them. @timber moss
OH im a idiot thank you, I was lookinmg at the properties of the wrong thing lol
You can either find a monkey model online and put it in vrchat or find someone in game who has one and clone off of them. @timber moss
@charred copper how do i find a monkey model online?
you can also browse avatar worlds in vrc uwu
@Mrduckykid search vrchat avatars
I like your funny words magic man
I remember using one or two of the ape escape avatars for a time, can't remember who published them, but it was one of the bigger avatar worlds.
@charred copper already vtried
are there issues with cloning ?
my friends can't seem to clone my avi's
any of them
Pug event?
Here's a website that provides avatars @timber moss https://sketchfab.com/tags/vrchat
tysm
Isn't it possible for the vrchat team to make a rollback to the version where everything works and put this version in beta? It would be better for the avarage player and maybe it would be a better release if it gets debugged, or am I wrong?
i think i just found the strangest bug yet... im on pc... yet its telling me im on quest....??!?!
the quest version is compiled for a completely different architecture... how could something like this happen...
Because your computer has evolved, just backwards by developing autism
x_x
XD
XD
AHAHAH
xD
It's been 4 months since i played vrchat, my pc broke and i hope vrchat has a good updates
i like dreaming too
Who does't
ikr
Vrchat broke
Bread with melon flavour
chewing gum pizza
Ew
ewe
how do i get a skechfab model into vrchat itself?
I just dunno tbh xD
on oclus
You go to Blender to rig it, and then put it in Unity to actually put it in vrchat. If you don't know how to do that, then you'll have to look up how to do it.
There are a very helpful videos on youtube, they will teach you how to put your avatars in vrchat
Yep
Make sure that you download the last update of unity
You need unity 2018.4.20f1
nothing newer (and nothing older ideally aswell)
So not the latest Unity.
Hmm weird, last time it told me that this update won't work on
I think i got the wrong link or something
anyone else getting 10fps for couple minute after starting the game in vr? its maxing out my gpu when it does that.
not me
Halloween night and they still haven't fixed full body animations working :[
anyone want to play
anyone with wmr having issue with the new vrc update? i can't tilt/peek using my head.
hi
is someone d dosing vrchat bunch of friends and me having issues and not is same worlds
I'm getting an issue where I can't hear anyone and my microphone isn't playing my voice to others.
It was working fine, but when I closed and reopened VRChat, this started happening. Known issue? Is there a fix?
yeh im having connection issues
is game dying
anyone wanna play with me dm me im bored
Wait if there's an option to mark an avatar as nsfw, are they like, allowed or something?
I'm actually kinda confused
No they are forbidden
Why thats still there is a good question... it's a super old leftover that probably should be removed
Whatever
Now im curious if marking an avatar will just instantly get it deleted
With that marked
aw i wanna google stuff you can do with your boyfriend in vr but google just gives me stories about people that met in vrchat
video players broke?
Man what a lame VR Halloween.
VRChat keeps locking up in loading screens or just not starting. Animations are STILL broken. Voices seem to still occasionally glitch out.
everything is breaking
rip
Figures. I get a new GPU and only get to use it for like...a week then they break everything and it's meh.
@manic spade lot of couple things you can do, I'm getting on to watch horror movies with my gf rn :3
uwu
time for vrchat to go brrrr
Yeah....I wish would've looked up all these problems before-hand and halted updates or something
Bro I was having the best time of my life and then my headset died didn't help that I already drained my elite strap
Reee vrchat big bad atm
there's 24,000 people online rn. what do you expect xD
lol dam almost as if it's a weekend for a big holiday
relax, players. server issues are a given
Suddenly can't join worlds and avatars aren't loading.
Ree indeed.

good job OwlBoy
Yeah I'd be in the pug right now if VRChat actually worked for once.
Still has the same crashing, freezing, and inoperative animations as before the update
anyone wanna sing a song in vrchat public worlds the song is fight back by neffex
@vocal shard Did you submit an avatar for spookality ? If so it's private currently
Made it public @modern sand
whos down to play in a scarymap ??
So I'm newer to vr chat but I rarely can get a good experience, every world I go in is either super laggy and crowded or theres people yelling slurs at each other
any ideas?
is there any way to remove all 'show avatar' statuses without having to remove all blocks/mutes too
ummm try to find a single server or sum
@forest lantern whats a single server? also friends isn't an option
Welcome!
its really fun tbh
vrchat is awesome. but some things are still broken
fixed social refres. now literally takes 3m to load socil ok
yeah tbhb
lit still waiting cor social lis to open
why even patch about fixing and then do the exact opposite
So far they have gotten worse lol
lol
No 3.0 toggles, social not updating when first logging on, world owner getting voice bug.
Running events has been rough as fuck past week or so
true
man I hope is fixed for furality. since it wasn't for Halloween
The root of the problem has been getting narrowed down
hope so
my friends and I spent a ton of time making Halloween avatars too
ouu lets see one
Were there backend changes that were the reason they were so resistant to rolling back the failed versions?
That's likely why they disabled stations in the latest patch for certain tracking methods. I think some were saying things may be linked to the new ability to tell if you're using desktop, vr, or fbt. But I have no official word on that
Just speculation
My issues were fixed or disappeared today
audio plays just fine
Just the crouch animation's left
and push to talk not functioning anymore on my side
its buggy
And yeah. A lot of this update deals with unifying the game to be more stable in future builds. A lot of current avatar 3.0 stuff was made while we were all learning how it worked. So some people had things done differently and there were some backend issues it was causing
And been having portals just putting you in limbo lately as well..
Shits been frustrating as hell. Also is VRC ever going to monetize in some way? I've wondered this forever.
Trying to run an event. Go thru portal. limbo for 5 m. Booted back to home world. Social still not even loading. Lord this is frustrating.
Monetization is possible in the future. But for now they're still running on investor funding
That's what I thought.
in all my avatars my view is in my mouth now is this a known issue or new
I was hoping some day they could implement a simple but not overhwelming monetary system to allow creators to sell optimized avatars, and just take a cut or something. Then creators would be forced to make good opt avatars, and then VRC gets to have an income to invest int he platform more too.
The beautiful of VRC though is the freedom for creators, so I hope that's never hurt.
There would likely need to be some system to ensure that avatars are made by the creators, and don't use assets taken from somewhere else without permission
Yeah that would be nice. Currently all avatar creator stuff is a lot based on trust. And we kidna police our own communities. Only thing we can do is blacklist people from events and clubs if they're a known ripper or leaker.
my social lisr has legit not losded tonight
this is innsane
and now i accept an inv, everything disappesrs, just freeze n get kicked to homeworld after 10m
yep
its been fucked since tuesday. this is just the cherry on top. so much for halloween week
they wouldruin it for holiday sadface
yes
we're getting DDoSed by having the most people online at the same time we've ever had π
trying to do costume contest with a full 80 man packed instance
no frames
3.0 broken
network issues
it's all so tiresome
Servers are strugglin
Oh no
Halloween at home is overloading the system.
@candid acorn Frames were fine in the instance I was in! You might want to ensure the people in your instance are using performant avatars. 
Nope
Knuckles peaked at 20k
we are beyond knuckles numbers
We hit over 24k earlier tonight
No frame issues for me, just loading and signing in issues.
Yes, we beat knuckles numbers about a month or so ago
Dang
and have been setting new records every weekend
it's a costume contest, tupper. you cant give people the tools to make amazing avatars, and then go "yeah but try being performant :^)
i0
I will say, if you are in a world right now. or you can get in one. consider yourself snowed in.
its probably because of the among us game in vrc lol
you can exist in the world fine with no issues. changing worlds is what causes an issue
π€ what timezone is so awake right now that they are playing
i can't even start up the game
I can't even gets worlds to load, let alone avatars in a world by myself. Think I'm going to call it a night at that and wait for the cool down / patches to the MIC viseme bug; gets really irritating watching my lips move in a mirror when any world audio is playing; it's like the MIC is picking up the headset audio, despite the ingame MIC/Icon not lighting up. Aah well, hope everyone had a relatively good sp00kyween.
confluence of factors, the pandemic definitely boosted us but it isn't the only thing
i just keep logging in, it hangs on a screen, i get the denial sound then it logs in again
yes, we're struggling due to having a huge amount of people online at the moment
how do i buy vrc premium
LOL
social tab is empty
servers are pooping
oof
good servers
π π
cant wait to get on and not be able to do anything π π
LOL
bruh
are the servers down? I cannot get past the initial loading screen, it just loads infinitely
@storm trout check #announcements
Odd that there's issues now, given that there's around 2000 people less on now than a few hours ago. Unless everyone just bailed.
We buffed up our servers for this weekend in anticipation, but everyone's enthusiasm apparently murdered them anyways 
we're looking into it
ye i broke
Just overclock the server with maximum spookiness
:[
heyyy
I'm just glad the servers were mostly stable during most events
I love the attention vrchat is getting, but man do we need to support it
server upgrade soon hopefully
Lol did dst just make vrc servers go brrrr
They literally stated things are unstable because of the sheer user numbers
Odds are if they rollback the networking performance would take a giant hit and function even worse
And they upped servers before the weekend but they underestimated it
You literally didnt read what i wrote π
if they considered a rollback, it would have happend days ago.
disconnect everyone on vrc and reboot servers
Also since the quest 2 is more powerful, it should be able to render some pc avatars
They optimized a large part of the game, what sadly enough caused the problems.
Big odds those optimizations are the reason the servers even stayed stable for this long with the insane numbers.
That or dynamic bones
@kindred dew Thats just called ddosing yourself
@marsh stump Beside that it does not use a PC language so it literally can not understand those avatars.
disconnect everyone on vrc and reboot servers
@kindred dew That would make the problem worse everyone connecting to the server all at once lol you think rn is bad
vrchat broke
that would be terrible
@vocal shard @odd blaze Check #announcements
put it on maintenace
i cry
What stuff?
The server is experiencing issues due to the high load.
The updates have all been tested in opened and closed betas
i guess now is a bad time to try and be uploading worlds
lol the vpn thing worked
Then you know when they got tested π
The initial update that started this had issues that were not prevalent during the closed beta, or the two weeks of open beta.
The updates after have been slowly fixing issues, but stating that much is still broken and they're narrowing it down
You cant test test having more then 20K people on a server lmao
They knew this would happend, increased the servers already but undershot the amount
thats crazy dude
why dont you sign up to work for vrchat since you're god emperor reborn
sounds like a plan see you working on the servers soon?
Ah yes as they for sure got physical servers
you're the smartest person in the room dude im sure they'd hire you on the spot
A company with workers all over the world would never use any cloud service π
can someone tell me when th3y done
no i dont think i will
OK Thanks cool.
Gonna say this >.> VRC needs to drop its Javascript menus in game
javascript and unity dont work well together
i know from my own things
there's so many experts on tonight i think halloween has really brought us all together
your right they wont
Javascript is really unsecure if you dont set it up right
also javascript is really unoptomized
an its not like they need it for Lua support
lol its why i stopped making avatars
wait lol really?
the files are not encrypted in the cashe?
@plush bison There are a lot of reasons its imposible to do so.
Even if they wanted, it would just be a question of time before the system gets broken open.
Only way an asset within a game cant be cracked even with time is when its stream only.
@plush bison which building would that be? Because uh... we've always been 100% remote. So. π€
@lunar lark Even if it was, it would not be too hard to decyper as the game has to do that constantly to see them.
very big thinkies
all game assets you download are insecure
@plush bison huh
all game assets you download are insecure
@plush bison huh
vms for days for all my windows games
Explain what you mean by insecure
i mean VRC dose use Unity
I can explain without being needlessly vague-- if data exists on your computer, you can access it, given infinite time
Ohh i see what hes saying
as long as you know how to reverse a bianary file an brute force its cypher you can decompile most unity file formats
so @plush bison they work remote so like are you lying to us dude? it's a sin man i don't want you to suffer eternal damnation π’
Just start streaming all content Tupper
Dont let users download anything 
Yes, the only actual perfect defense is to make VRChat a Stadia exclusive. Unlike my previous chat message, this isn't a joke. π

Stadia....
oh yeah i hear xbox's cloud gaming thing is nice
stop making public threats >.<
see the florida man has good ideas XD
i unironically use stadia, its half decent
you'll just roast in hell :P
i cant justify stadia
nice to sit on the couch with my phone mounted on my ps4 controller and play destiny or whatever
pay for the console an the service nah
there's no console!
Stadia VR when?
i rather get xcloud when its out
more games an also a better pricing model then stadia
plus xbox intergration
Actually... Isn't facebook looking into streaming games to quest soon. Similar to stadia
How long is the delay for you tupper?
As last time i got to try it, it was a joke.
Could not play fast action packed games because the delay was clearly noticeable even on glassviber internet that gets below 11MS ping to most popular servers hosting spots for euro.
facebook dose suck
